A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 409 Killing the Core

"None of you are to leave today! It wasn't easy for us to get together to have a drink, so let's get drunk today, alright?" laughed Qiu Guang merrily.

Old Master Qiu was on his high chair as he laughed loudly as well. "That's right, everyone. Since all of you have come to attend my family's event, then we must take good care of all of you."

"Don't worry yourself over all those things that happened outside earlier, don't get yourself into a bad mood over it. Let's all have a good meal and celebrate together. Don't worry, the Qiu family will not treat you badly, we have more than enough good food and wine. Just let us know if you need anything," Old Master Qiu continued to be warm and welcoming as the host of the evening.

But even though the Qius were so friendly, the guests still waved their hands about and took their leave, "Old Master Qiu, we understand where you're coming from."

"But we all have something else on and we really can't stay for dinner. So don't bother treating us tonight, we'll gather again some other time if the opportunity arises. Old Master Qiu, Qiu Guang, we'll take our leave first."

Then the guests returned to Yulong Hotel and took all the gifts they gave to the Qius back as well, much to the horror of Old Master Qiu and his family.

"What...what are all of you doing?" Qiu Guang was stunned.

Old Master Qiu was filled with shock.

Qiu Mu-Ying and the rest watched on with wide eyes and an open mouth.

They never imagined that their guests not only refused to eat dinner at their banquet, but also took back the gifts that they had given to the Qius earlier. What did they mean by this?

Wasn't this making things awkward for the Qiu family?

Old Master Qiu immediately flew into a rage and asked angrily as he got up with a start. "Stop! Stop! What are all of you doing?!"

Wang Qiao-Yu was also furious. "Fine if you don't want to eat, but why are you taking the things away?"

"Those things belong to the Qiu family and you dare to take them? What a joke! Who takes back a gift that they've given away?"

The Qiu family finally fell out with all their guests at the banquet.

But the guests weren't surprised. When they took back all the gifts before leaving, they weren't going to care if the Qius got angry or not.

But when the Qius did get angry, Mr Wei laughed coldly. "The Qiu family?"

"Your Qiu family is about to collapse, and I'm afraid there will be no Qiu family in Yunzhou in the future. This family of Qius are just a family of idiots. You've got eyeballs that can't see, and you don't judge others properly."

"Especially you, Old Master Qiu. You're seriously just an old fogey who's so muddleheaded. You chased the really capable ones out of the family, and left bunch of idiots behind. Even if the Qiu family collapses you guys deserve it."

"As for the gifts, why should a family on the verge of collapsing be worthy of our gifts? Stop thinking so highly of yourselves! Old Master Qiu, you take care of your own matters. We're off now."

Once one lost his power and status, others would abandon him as well.

The Qiu family had offended a big shot, and made Wu Wei-Tao so furious.

The guests were pretty sure that the Qiu family was definitely going to collapse.

Now they couldn't wait to avoid the Qiu family, so how could they stay here and congratulate them?

And of course they had to take those congratulatory gifts back.

That was how business-related friends worked.

They would be friends when there were benefits, and no longer friends if there wasn't anything to gain. Everyone came together because of benefits, and everyone went wherever it benefited themselves the most! Sometimes, life was cruel like that.

So just like that, the Qiu family watched with livid expressions as their full banquet hall of guests had all walked away.

To make things worse, all these guests who had come to congratulate Qiushui Logistics had actually walked across the road into Mufan Real Estate right in front of them without bothering to hide anything. This was a loud and hard slap on the Qiu family's face.

Qiu Guang and the rest flew into a rage.

"These bastards! They're all a bunch of bastards! Now I know why they took the gifts away. They're going to give them to Mufan Real Estate! These animals! We were blind to befriend all these bastards who can't wait for us to go down!"

"Get lost then! Humph! Go ahead and lick the smelly toes of that useless family! You're all just a bunch of bootlicking dogs! Shameless bootlicking dogs!"

Wang Qiao-Yu started cursing away at the guests who had long gone. They were all trembling from their anger.

The huge banquet hall was only left with the sound of the Qiu family cursing and screaming away.

Qiushui Logistics' ribbon cutting ceremony had now turned into a joke.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's company had the upper hand in both the number of guests and the background of the guests.

And now, even more embarrassingly, even the guests who originally came to congratulate Qiushui Logistics had run off to congratulate Mufan Real Estate instead, and even took their gifts along with them, leaving Qiushui Logistics with nothing.

It was like a huge slap across the entire family's face.

Old Master Qiu felt like his face was on fire!

The rest had red faces from their embarrassment and anger.

What a disgrace!

They had never disgraced themselves so badly before.

Their reputation was in tatters now!

"Old Master Qiu, do we...do we still continue with the banquet?" The entire hotel was empty and all the guests had left. Only the Qiu family was left in this awkward mess.

There were some who felt too embarrassed to stay and were prepared to just go home without eating.

But Old Master Qiu's face was livid as he barked in a cold voice, "Continue! Why not?!"

"Even if we don't have a single guest, our event must continue! We shall enjoy this banquet accordingly!"

To Old Master Qiu, leaving with their tails between their legs right now would be even more embarrassing.

He would rather continue with the event so that others would see how the resilient the Qiu family was!

But just after Old Master Qiu declared this, a group of people came in from outside the hotel as they chattered away happily.

The one walking right in front was the boss of Yulong Hotel.

"Old Master Qiu, I'm sorry but you will have to give up the banquet hall. Mufan Real Estate would like to hold their opening ceremony banquet here. Your side can just go home and have your own little ceremony since you don't have a single guest, and you can eat anywhere else," said the boss of Yulong Hotel coldly. His firm tone didn't allow for any negotiation at all.

Before waiting for a response from Old Master Qiu, he instructed the waiters to throw everything belonging to Qiushui Logistics out.

"You...you're going too far! You're all big bullies!"

The Qiu family was filled with shock when this happened.

Old Master Qiu nearly fainted from anger!

This was killing the Qiu family at its very core!
