Chapter: 6297

Upon leaving the police station, the Ancient Street was almost closing time, so Zhou Liangyuan directly carried his luggage and turned around inside the street.

The environment here was no different from when he walked by before, except that he didn't think he would come back again then.

Just a few minutes after entering the Ancient Street, a peddler recognized him, exclaiming in surprise: "Hey! Isn't this the manager of Qiqing Hall who used to work here? When did you get back?"

The environment on the Ancient Street remained unchanged, with its commercial conditions also still the same. At present, Qiqing Hall was still the largest shop on the Ancient Street, and the people who lived in Jinling's Antique Street basically knew him.

Zhou Liangyuan had already forgotten who this peddler was, but seeing that he recognized himself, he greeted him with great courtesy: "Hello, I'm just back in Jinling."

"That peddler nodded slightly, asking in a low voice with some gossip: 'Zhou Manager, if I'm not mistaken, you should have been fired by Song Xianying, Song Miss, back then, right?'"

"Zhou Liangyuan didn't feel embarrassed, nodding slightly and saying straightforwardly: 'That's correct. At that time, I made some mistakes in my business dealings and was fired by Song Miss.'"

"That peddler spoke hurriedly: 'Now, Song Miss isn't the same as she was back then. Back then, she was just responsible for Qiqing Hall, but now she's the family head of the entire Song family. This time you're back in Jinling, please don't let her know, or it might cause trouble.'"

"Zhou Liangyuan smiled: 'Although I was fired by Song Miss before, that was just a work-related issue. I have no conflicts with her, and she should not hold a grudge against me.'"

"After saying this, Zhou Liangyuan added: 'I must admit, Zhou Liangyuan is back in Jinling this time to look for a shop on Ancient Street and start my own small business. If you know of any good shops that are up for sale or want to recommend one, please give me some suggestions.'"

"That peddler shrugged his shoulders: 'The business on Ancient Street is getting worse and worse now. I remember you used to run a stall selling antiques at Pan Family Garden, right? What made you come back to Jinling after all these years? This isn't just going backwards!'"

"Back when Zhou Liangyuan applied for the manager position at Qiqing Hall, his resume mentioned that he had started setting up stalls in Pan Family Garden over 20 years ago. At that time, many small merchants on Jinling's Antique Street thought of him as a respected figure, and his background was widely known."

"Pan Family Garden can be considered the Jerusalem of Chinese antiques. Those who have been through Pan Family Garden can basically walk into any antique street in any city inside China, Zhou Liangyuan's resume is rich, and he has come back to Jinling's Antique Street to buy and sell, which seems like a step down from the outside world."

"But Zhou Liangyuan didn't want to explain further, so he just smiled and said: 'Once I've decided to do something, I'll stick with it. After all, I've been to many places over the years, and Jinling is still my favorite.'"

"After saying this, he bowed slightly to the other person, politely asking: 'I'll be back tomorrow morning, brother. If you have any good shop recommendations, please keep an eye out for me. Once I'm done, I'll reward you with a cup of tea.'"

"That person agreed readily: 'Okay, okay, I'll keep an eye out for you.'"

He then waved goodbye to Zhou Liangyuan.

After Zhou Liangyuan left, he stopped his preparations and pulled out his phone to make a call.

The phone call was answered by Chen Manager, who was very respectful in his tone: "Manager Chen, it's me, Zhou Liangyuan from North Gate Antique Market... I have something on my mind that I think is necessary to discuss with you."

Chen Manager on the other end of the phone was the current General Manager of Jinling Hall and a well-respected figure in the antique world.

Zhou Liangyuan held the position of General Manager at Jinling Hall, and Chen Manager was his deputy. While Chen's professional abilities were generally decent, he was very skilled in human relationships and had built up a good network in the antique community.

After Zhou Liangyuan was fired by Song Wan Ting, Chen Manager temporarily took over as acting General Manager.

Song Wan Ting also knew that Chen's professional abilities were not suitable for this position, so her plan was to let him fill in first, find someone more suitable, and then replace him. Thus, his position changed from deputy manager to acting general manager."

Let me know if you'd like me to continue!

However, Song Wan Ting soon became even closer to Ye Chen with his help, and her overall situation in the Song family, as well as her strength, rose like a rocket, making her increasingly neglectful of Jieying Hall's business. JrNovels.com
