With that said, Zhang Ermao (Cade) remarked, “By the way, I have many friends here who frequently ship goods. I’m curious, how much capital does Manager Zhou have? Let me see if they have anything suitable that we could coborate on.” <fn3fcb> This content belongs to FindN0vel</fn3fcb>


    When he asked, “How big is the pot?” it was likely an inquiry into the amount of money Zhou Liangyun intended to invest. Since Zhou Liangyun is interested in collecting antiques, he was also questioning how much financial backing he could allocate for purchasing these items.


    Zhou Liangyun responded modestly, “I’ve been quite busytely and haven’t umted much. I only have a few hundred thousand in total. If the items are inexpensive and reasonable, I can manage that. However, if we’re talking about high-end goods, I might struggle to keep up.”


    “Understood,” Zhang Ermao (Cade) acknowledged Zhou Liangyun’s financial situation. “I’ll gather some relevant resourcester and see if I can help facilitate a few deals.”


    Zhou Liangyun raised his hand and expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you, Ermao!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Zhang Ermao (Cade) smiled, waved, and turned to Chen Yufei, saying, “Manager, please prepare a flower basket for Manager Zhou. I’ll transfer the funds to youter.”


    Chen Yufei quickly replied, “Oh, Ermao! Why are you being so polite? I’ll take care of the flower basket, so don’t worry about it!”


    Zhang Ermao (Cade) nodded casually and suggested, “Let’s find a time for the three of us to sit down and enjoy some tea together.”


    After saying this, he moved forward and swiftly left the area.


    Chen Yufei realized that Zhang Ermao (Cade) would likely work to assist Zhou Liangyun after their introduction, so he let out a sigh of relief and told Zhou Liangyun, “Manager Zhou, you continue with your tasks. I’ll head back now to prepare Brother Ermao’s flower basket and have it deliveredter!”


    Zhou Liangyun, contemting the situation, smiled slightly and replied, “Thank you!”


    As he watched Chen Yufei depart, Zhou Liangyun sensed that something was off.


    Unbeknownst to him, Chen Yufei was intentionally trying to steer him away from the antique street. Zhou Liangyun perceived Chen Yufei as a prominent figure in this area, given his role as the manager of Ji Qingtang, while he viewed Zhang Ermao (Cade) as merely a foolish hawker trying to get by. He couldn’t understand why Chen Yufei would refer to him as Brother Ermao.


    Could it be that Ermao has been in some trouble recently?


    With this thought, Zhou Liangyun began to feel that Zhang Ermao (Cade)’s presence earlier was rather intentional.


    …


    Meanwhile, Zhang Ermao (Cade) strolled through the antique street and entered Ji Qingtang.


    Upon entering, Chen Yufei quickly ushered him to the VIP reception room at the back and eagerly asked, “Brother Ermao, how are things going? Do you have any ns?”


    Zhang Ermao (Cade) replied calmly, “Why are you so anxious? After all, you are the general manager of Ji Qingtang. This is just a small shop covering a few dozen square meters, with not even a single seble item. What’s there to worry about?”


    Chen Yufei replied earnestly, “Brother Ermao, this Zhou guy is quite decisive and effective. You should have seen him earlier; he took over the shop, painted the sign, and opened for business right away. His calligraphy is impressive, much better than many appraisers on the antique street. If he continues like this for a month or two, he could gain quite a reputation!”
