Chapter: 5861

"Yes..." Yè Chén firmly nodded his head, "I'm certain! This person is named Zhou Liangyun, and the antique shop in Jinling is called Jiyue Hall. It's a subsidiary of the Song family business. At that time, Jiyue Hall wasn't doing well. In the vast Song family industry, it was just an insignificant corner. The one responsible for managing this line of business was Song Wenying, who is now the head of the Song family house. And Zhou Liangyun was the manager of Jiyue Hall back then..."

As he reached this point, Yè Chén felt his back had already gotten damp.

Before, he thought he got the "Nine Heavens" Scripture purely by chance.

It wasn't until recently that he heard his great-uncle mention how their parents had once received a draft of the "Nine Heavens" Scripture. He inferred that there must be some connection between the draft and the complete scripture, but he never had concrete evidence.

Now, suddenly he discovered that Jiyue Hall's manager, Zhou Liangyun, who was called by his father as a good friend twenty or thirty years ago.

And that jade bottle spring figurine was actually handed over to his father-in-law Shào Chángkūn by his hand.

At the time, his father-in-law and he were together in the room while I waited outside, so I didn't get to see what exactly happened inside. However, from my father-in-law's later narration, I can deduce that Zhou Liangyun took out the jade bottle spring figurine from a beautiful packaging box and handed it over to his father-in-law, who then accidentally dropped the bottle on the ground...

Now that this Zhou Liangyun is involved, it's absolutely not just a coincidence.

So Yè Chén instinctively pulled out his phone and immediately called Sòng Wǎntíng.

The only way to understand Zhou Liangyun's route now would probably be through Sòng Wǎntíng!

The phone quickly connected.

In the evening, Ye Chen received a phone call from Sòng Wǎntíng, and she had some hidden excitement. She asked with joy, "Master Ye, why are you calling me so late?"

Ye Chen suppressed his inner nervousness and asked, "Sòng Wǎntíng, I want to ask about the manager named Zhou Liangyun who used to work at Jì Chéng Táng. Is he still working at Sòng's family?"

"Not anymore." Sòng Wǎntíng said with an air of unconciousness, "Initially, he was very rude to you and your father-in-law at Jì Chéng Táng, and he didn't appreciate the true value of the jade vase and spring bottle that you restored. I felt that he had serious flaws in his professional ethics and skills, so I fired him."

" Fired?" Ye Chen asked hastily, "What did he do after that?"

"I don't know..." Sòng Wǎntíng said, "After that incident, I never saw him again."

Ye Chen asked again, "When did he start working at Jì Chéng Táng?"

Sòng Wǎntíng replied, "He only worked there for a short time, about a month or so. He was there and gone in no time."

As soon as Ye Chen heard this, his heart was filled with surprise.

This Zhou Liangyun started working at Jì Chéng Táng just two months before the incident, and all these signs seem to suggest that he might have only been there for himself!

Thinking about this, Ye Chen asked again, "Sòng Wǎntíng, did you hire him back then?"

"Yes," Song Wántíng said. "At that time, I didn't receive much attention at home, and I was also bullied by my uncle and cousin, so the family gave me this Jì Chéng Táng business to manage. At that time, Jì Chéng Táng was already in a state of financial difficulties, with internal conflicts and external corruption very serious, so I fired everyone and hired a new batch of people; Zhou Liangyun was one of those who applied during that period."

Ye Chen asked, "Why did you hire him back then?"

Song Wántíng thought for a moment and said, "This person initially gave me a good impression. He had a deep understanding of Eastern and Western antiques, was humble, and well-mannered. During the interview, I could see that he had excellent oratory skills and was able to answer questions fluently. Additionally, his salary requirements were not unreasonable, so overall, it felt like a very high-quality candidate. So I hired him on the spot."

As she spoke, Song Wántíng's tone turned slightly regretful, saying, "But I didn't expect that this person would turn out to be so terrible. Not only did he offend your father-in-law, but even you were offended, and his repair skills were no better than yours. This was my own mistake for not being more discerning... I beg your pardon, Master Ye." JrNovels.com
