Upon reflecting on the situation, Zhou Liangyun quickly realized that Charlie Wade was fully aware of what had transpired and was intent on teaching Zhang Ermao (Cade), Chen Yufei, and his father-inw Jacob a valuable lesson.


    With a smile, he addressed Zhang Ermao (Cade): “If this is just about the current matter, there’s really no need for you to apologize to me. In all honesty, I should be thanking you. Business on the antique street is quite challenging these days, so having such a promising start is indeed something to be grateful for.”


    Zhang Ermao (Cade) felt a flush of embarrassment, but seeing that Zhou Liangyun was not pursuing the issue further brought him some relief. He responded earnestly, “Boss Zhou, please don’t worry. I, Zhang Ermao (Cade), assure you that I will not interfere with your business again. I won’t create obstacles for you behind the scenes. And if you ever need my assistance, I’ll be more than willing to help!”


    He quickly added, “Furthermore, please rest assured, Boss Zhou, that we will return the 300,000 yuan that we deceived you out of. If you have any other matters, I hope you won’t hold us responsible…”


    Zhou Liangyun extended his hand to help him up, saying, “After all, we’re friends. Feel free to drop by the store anytime you’re free.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Feeling too shy to ept, Zhang Ermao (Cade) could only muster, “I’m sure… but Boss Zhou, you have so many customers here, I wouldn’t want to be a bother…”<fn18d4> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? fι?dnοvel</fn18d4>


    With that, he quickly bid farewell and left.


    The moment he stepped out, chaos erupted in Zhen Baoxuan.


    No one had anticipated that the usually shrewd Zhang Ermao (Cade) would make such a foolish mistake.


    Some well-meaning individuals had already shared the video on their social media.


    Once outside Zhen Baoxuan, Zhang Ermao (Cade) wasted no time in posting a photo of his apology letter on WeChat Moments, even pinning it to the top of his feed.


    The apology letter meticulously outlined the entire incident, detailing how Chen Yufei had initially sought his help, informed him of Zhou Liangyun’s return, and how he had reached out to Jacob to assist him, all while naively orchestrating the scam.


    Recognizing this as Charlie Wade’s chance to redeem himself, he chose to bepletely transparent in his ount.


    As soon as this post appeared, it sent shockwaves throughout the antique street.


    Almost every store was buzzing with discussions about the post, as no one could believe that Zhou Liangyun’s fortune stemmed from the efforts of others.


    Meanwhile, Chen Yufei, who had been ousted by Ji Qingtang, was busy crafting a post of his own on social media, eager to me Zhang Ermao (Cade) for everything in an attempt to clear his name. Just as he finished his short essay and was about to hit publish, an acquaintance interrupted him, saying, “Wow, Manager Chen, did you see Zhang Ermao (Cade)’s Moments? Is what he said true? Did you three really team up to give Zhu Liangyu that 20 million gift?”


    Chen Yufei was taken aback and instinctively asked, “What do you mean by the circle of friends?”
