After making his statement, he quickly summoned a few associates and cautioned them: “When you return tonight, please get in touch with some reliable young men named Zhou. As long as business is running, take turns to create disturbances for me! Additionally, try to acquire some convincing fakes that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to discern, and see if you can trick him. If you can outsmart this Zhou, not only can you swindle him out of his money, but you can also humiliate him! Let’s make sure he is disgraced on the antique street!”


    One of the waiters, looking somewhat embarrassed, replied, “Manager, while it’s easy to gather a few people to bother him, deceiving him with counterfeit goods is another matter. This Zhou fellow still has some skills. When he was at Jiqingtang, I never managed to fool him.”


    Manager Chen of 138 Reading Network couldn’t help but chuckle, remarking, “Indeed, it’s not a simple task to trick someone named Zhou. You’d need a top-notch forger to pull it off.” He then reflected, “The only person on the antique street with that kind of talent is Zhang Ermao (Cade)! This guy is a real pro at crafting antiques!”


    The associate nodded in agreement, saying, “No doubt Zhang Ermao (Cade) is skilled, but he’s be quite the big shot around Fifth Master now. I’m afraid he won’t be easy to reach!”


    Manager Chen reassured them, “That’s alright. I’m quite familiar with Zhang Ermao (Cade). I’ll give him a call and ask for his help.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With that, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed Zhang Ermao (Cade). In the past, Zhang Ermao (Cade) would have bowed and called him Manager Chen, but now that Zhang Ermao (Cade) had risen to prominence, Manager Chen felt the need to show his respect. As soon as the call connected, he greeted warmly, “Brother Ermao, it’s me, Chen Yufei!”<fn43fb> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn43fb>


    Zhang Ermao (Cade) grunted in response, curious, “What brings Manager Chen to call me?”


    Since teaming up with Don Albert, Zhang Ermao (Cade) had distanced himself from the antique street, and given that Don Albert was busy with his business daily, he was surprised to hear from Chen Yufei.


    Chen Yufei replied eagerly, “Brother Ermao, ever since you left the antique street, I’ve been hoping you’de back when you have the chance. I’ve got some excellent tea here, just waiting to entertain you!”


    Zhang Ermao (Cade) chuckled, saying, “Alright, Manager Chen, we’ve known each other for a long time in the antique street. If you need something, just ask directly. No need for formalities.”


    At this, Chen Yufei smiled awkwardly and confessed, “What can I say? I can’t hide anything from your sharp eyes, Brother Ermao. The reason I’m calling is that I need your help finding some exceptionally realistic fakes. The more authentic they look, the better.”


    Zhang Ermao (Cade)ughed, “Who are you nning to trick?”


    Chen Yufei hesitated, then said, “No, no! I just want to expand my collection. I can’t afford the real deal, so I’m looking for some high-quality imitations.”


    In a serious tone, Zhang Ermao (Cade) responded, “Chen Yufei, let me be clear. I’m working with the Fifth Master, who holds Wanting Song and Miss Jasmine in high regard. If you intend to do anything reckless in Miss Jasmine’s shop, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”


    Chen Yufei quickly assured, “Oh Brother Ermao, you’vepletely misunderstood me! While I may not be capable, I hold Jiqingtang in high esteem. How could I do anything to harm its interests or those of Miss Jasmine?”


    Then, realizing he couldn’t hold back any longer, he added, “Brother Ermao, let me be frank. I’m asking you to help because I want to pull one over on Zhou Liangyun from Jiqingtang. This guy has been absent for quite some time, but now he’s back on the antique street, iming he wants to open a shop. Honestly, I’d prefer if he didn’t stick around. I want to get rid of him for some peace and quiet.”


    “Zhou Liangyun…” Zhang Ermao (Cade) murmured to himself. He certainly remembered Zhou Liangyun well. While he acknowledged that Zhou had some skills, what came to his mind was the incident where Zhou had pped Jacob, Master Wade’s father-inw!


    Based on Zhang Ermao (Cade)’s understanding of Jacob, he knew Jacob still harbored resentment towards Zhou Liangyun. If given a chance to avenge that p, perhaps Jacob would view him more favorably. After all, Jacob was Master Wade’s father-inw, and building connections with him could be advantageous!


    With that thought in mind, Zhang Ermao (Cade) quickly replied, “Since you’ve been honest with me, I’ll do you this favor. I’ve never liked Zhou Liangyun either. Keep an eye on him and let me know when he opens his shop. I’ll personally pay him a visit!”
