They Betrayed Their Master for Money—Then the CEO Walked In and Bowed to the Chef They Just Insulted

Transcript

00:00The elite chef was strolling through the market when, out of curiosity, he tasted a handmade

00:04dumpling prepared by a young boy. In that instant, he knew that the boy was destined to become the

00:09future god of cuisine. The boy needed $100 to start his business, and the chef, without hesitation,

00:15gave him the money. At first, it was just a generous gesture, but the boy, very serious,

00:20insisted on signing an agreement and promised that once he succeeded, he would give the chef

00:24some shares. When it came time to sign, the boy realized he didn't have a pen. The chef lent him

00:29his steel fountain pen without a second thought, and they agreed that the boy would return the pen

00:33and the contract the next day, not knowing that this small act would change their lives forever.

00:38The next day, the boy came back with the contract and the pen. He waited all day in the market,

00:43but the chef never showed up. From that day on, he swore that one day he would find him.

00:47Eighteen years flew by in the blink of an eye. Now the chef faced angry clients demanding money

00:52for medical expenses while he was checking ingredients in the kitchen. His former

00:55apprentices barged in arrogantly and directly demanded that he hand over the restaurant,

01:00or they would watch him go bankrupt. It was then that the chef realized these boys,

01:04whom he had raised, had not a shred of gratitude. But it was too late to regret. In order to save

01:09his restaurant, he decided to face the angry customers alone. As soon as he stepped into the

01:13dining area, one of the clients smashed a bottle and broke his hand. Still, he endured the pain and

01:19said he was fine. Facing growing complaints, the chef admitted fault and promised compensation,

01:24but asked for three days to gather the money. The families agreed because of his sincerity.

01:29That night, the chef sold his house and car. His daughter even gave up all her savings,

01:34which she had set aside to study abroad. Despite all this, he was still short $1 million.

01:39Desperate, he wanted to ask his old friend for help. This friend now owned an empire worth hundreds

01:44of millions. But the chef didn't know that his friend had changed. Not only did he humiliate him,

01:49but he also forced him to sign a contract transferring the ownership of the restaurant.

01:52It was then that the chef saw his three former apprentices appear and realized the whole thing

01:57had been a trap. The apprentices had already made a deal with the old friend to take over the

02:01restaurant and partner with a business group. What they didn't know was that the founder of that

02:05group was the very same boy the chef had helped 18 years ago. All this time, the boy had been

02:09searching across the country for the chef, and he had recently discovered that the restaurant owner

02:13was the man he had been looking for. That's why he personally came to negotiate. But the traders,

02:18unaware of the truth, kept pressuring the chef to sign the transfer. At the last second,

02:23the business group's team arrived just in time. The assistant, with a single glance,

02:27immediately recognized the chef. The apprentices, thinking the chef was ruining the deal,

02:32tried to forcefully throw him out. But the assistant acted swiftly and slapped one of them across the

02:37face. The other two stood frozen in confusion, yet still hurled insults at the chef.

02:42Until the assistant's next words left them completely terrified.
