Seeing that Chen Yufei had indeed made a few notable appearances, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.


    After watching the video, her curiosity led her to thements section, where she noticed that many viewers were praising the professionalism of Ji Qingtang’s manager, as well as the old signature of Ji Qingtang, which was undeniably unmatched in Aurous Hill.


    Then, she stumbled upon ament posted by Jacob.


    Upon reading the name Zhou Liangyun, she was taken aback. She hadn’t anticipated that Zhou Liangyun, who had been dismissed by her for offending Charlie, would make a return.


    She instinctively messaged Charlie, writing: “Master Wade, I just watched a short video and saw that Zhou Liangyun, the former manager of Ji Qingtang, is back in Aurous Hill. He previously offended you and your father-inw at Ji Qingtang. What do you think about this? Do you want me to take any action?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    For Jasmine Moore, her current sess hinges entirely on Charlie. While she didn’t want to be seen as the viin who pushes others aside, the thought of Charlie potentially being displeased with Zhou Liangyun made her resolve firm. She decided that if Charlie didn’t want to see Zhou Liangyun, she would ensure he left Aurous Hill for good.


    Meanwhile, Charlie was walking toward the parking lot. Upon receiving Jasmine Moore’s message, he quickly replied: “I’m not a petty person; I never said I’d prevent him from returning to Aurous Hill. If he wants toe back, he’s free to do so. There’s no need for anyone to interfere.”


    Reading this, Jasmine realized she had underestimated Charlie’s perspective, prompting her to respond quickly: “I apologize, Master Wade. Jasmine’s perspective is quite limited. How could Ipare to you? Rest assured, I won’t interfere with him in any way.”


    Charlie replied, “No need to apologize; after all, you’re only trying to share my concerns.”


    As Charlie assured Jasmine not to interfere with Zhou Liangyun, Zhou Liangyun himself exited the hotel, shouldering a bag as he headed toward Antique Street, ready to open the doors at Zhen Baoxuan.


    When he was still two to three hundred meters away from Zhen Baoxuan, a vendor halted him, saying, “Oh, Manager Zhou, why are you arriving sote?”


    Zhou Liangyun smiled in response, “Is it reallyte? Don’t all the shops on Antique Street stay opente?”


    The vendor replied, “I hope there are customers waiting in front of your store; I’ve heard there are quite a few.”


    As he spoke, he leaned in closer, adding with curiosity, “Manager Zhou, are all those people here to buy from you?”


    Zhou Liangyun sensed that the vendor was particrly interested in him, likely with ulterior motives, but he didn’t hide the truth, stating, “Yes, I received some items yesterday and wanted to act quickly, so I posted the information online. They should all be here to check things out.”


    With that, he waved his hand dismissively, saying, “Let’s not chat any longer. I need to get over there and see to it that no one waits too long.”


    The vendor quickly interjected, “Don’t worry, Manager Zhou. I have a quick question for you. Could you give me a bit of face?”


    Zhou Liangyun inquired, “What is it?”


    The vendor responded, “Well, my business isn’t thriving. How about I apany you to your store to observe how you handle your items? I’m particrly interested in learning more about this.”


    Fearing that Zhou Liangyun might refuse, he added, “I promise, I’ll just follow you to watch.”


    Zhou Liangyun suspected that the vendor was likely gathering intel for someone else. It didn’t matter to him whether it was Zhang Ermao (Cade), Jacob, or Chen Yufei, as they were all connected. If any of them received the news, it would mean all three would know.


    Moreover, the vendor was known for being quite gossipy. Allowing him to follow would surely lead to the news spreading throughout Antique Street.


    Realizing he could turn this to his advantage, Zhou Liangyun decided to y along. With a smile, he said, “Since you’re interested,e take a look. There’s nothing to hide.”


    He then added, “However, if you want to enter my store, we need to agree on a few terms.”


    The vendor eagerly responded, “No problem, Manager Zhou. I’ll follow whatever rules you set.”


    Zhou Liangyun stated, “First, you’ll need to leave your mobile phone with me for safekeeping. My customers are significant clients from across the country, and you mustn’t take videos or invade their privacy.”


    The vendor immediately agreed, saying, “Sure, I’ll hand over my phone right now!”<fn9147> Readplete version only at find?novel</fn9147>


    He promptly retrieved his cell phone and handed it to Zhou Liangyun.


    Deep down, he understood that Chen Yufei had tasked him with gathering information, not filming videos. Witnessing events firsthand would provide him with the most urate and timely details. Handing over his phone posed no risk.


    Zhou Liangyun recognized that the vendor aimed to glean inside information about his sales, and he intended to use this opportunity to steer public opinion following the events of the previous night.
