Chapter: 6374

Some curious and gossipy individuals had already taken out their phones to quietly record videos.

At that moment, Zhang Er Mao took a deep breath, looking shamefaced, and said, "Manager Zhulangyun, the bronze Buddha you received earlier was actually a scheme I hatched with Shu Difu, the vice chairman of the Calligraphy Association, and Chen Yufei from Jiyun Hall. We bought it from Old Teacher Cheng for 98,000 yuan, but unbeknownst to us, it's actually a northern Song dynasty artifact. We were planning to swindle you and then let you get fooled, making it impossible for you to operate on the ancient book street afterwards. But who would have thought that our scheme would backfire like this? I beg you, please don't hold me accountable as one of these lowlifes!"

As he spoke, he simultaneously pulled out a piece of paper with writing from his chest and handed it to Zhulangyun's face, saying respectfully, "This is my personal apology letter. Please accept it! At the same time, I'll send this letter to my friends' circle and publicly apologize to you."

The people around were suddenly agog in amazement.

No one had expected that there was such a shocking behind-the-scenes story waiting for Zhulangyun.

Zhulangyun himself was also completely stunned by Zhang Er Mao's upfront apology. At first, he suspected that Zhang Er Mao was trying to manipulate him with a trap, but then he thought, "I even included Leaf's father-in-law in my previous calculations!" This was a bit too much for me to swallow.

Leaf's capabilities in Jinling are beyond question, and Zhulangyun didn't doubt them. Hong Wu had already become Leaf's loyal and faithful subordinate, and now Zhang Er Mao is also the teacher on Hong Wu's side. In theory, Zhang Er Mao should only try to curry favor with Leaf's father-in-law Shu Changkun and would never do something like revealing Shu Changkun's reputation or blackening his name.

But he dared to do so because it was definitely Leaf's request.

As he thought about this, Zhulangyun suddenly understood that Leaf had already known everything from start to finish and was determined to teach Zhang Er Mao, Chen Yu Fei, and his father-in-law Shu Changkun a lesson.

So, he smiled at Zhang Er Mao and said, "If it's just because of this, there's no need for you to apologize to me. I'll still thank you both, after all, the antique trade on Old Street is not doing well, and having an opportunity like this is indeed hard to come by."

Zhang Er Mao's face turned red with embarrassment, but seeing Zhulangyun didn't intend to pursue it, his expression relaxed, and he spoke sincerely, "Zhulangyun, you can rest assured that I, Zhang Er Mao, will never bother your business again. And in the future, if you need my help, I'll definitely not hesitate."

He then hastened to add, "Please also be at ease, Zhulangyun. The 300,000 yuan taken from you, we will definitely return it all to you. Please, esteemed sir, don't pursue our other responsibilities..."

Zhulangyun helped him up and began to say, "Let's just consider ourselves friends from now on. You're welcome to come visit anytime."

Zhang Er Mao had no face left and could only nod stiffly, saying, "I'll definitely... Zhulangyun, you have many customers here, I won't bother you..."

He finished speaking and quickly took his leave.

The moment he walked out, the atmosphere in Duanbao Hall went up in flames.

No one expected that the cunning Zhang Er Mao would actually do something so foolish.

Some good people had already posted videos to their social circles.

And Zhang Er Mao himself, after leaving Duanbao Hall, immediately posted photos and text of his apology letter on his social circle, even topping it off. The apology letter inside was very detailed in writing out the entire process of what happened, including Chen Yu Fei asking for help, informing him that Zhou Liang Yun was back, as well as his own initiative to contact Xiao Chang Kun to help Xiao Chang Kun take revenge, and then designing the whole scam from start to finish.

He knew this was Leaf Tian's self-rescue opportunity, so he dared not hide or cover up even a single thing.

This social circle went out, and the entire ancient street just blew open like a pot.

Almost everyone in every family store was discussing this social circle, who could have thought that Zhou Liang Yun's big mistake would actually be someone else's hard work to set up for him.

Chen Yu Fei, who had been swept away from Ji Qing Tang and was now editing his social circle at the door of Ji Qing Tang, was preparing to splash dirty water on Zhang Er Mao in his social circle to vent his anger, but just as he finally finished writing a short essay and was about to click publish, someone familiar caught sight of him and said, "Bedlam Chen Manager, haven't you seen Zhang Er Mao's social circle? Is everything he says true? Did the three of you really join forces to send Zhou Liang Yun that two million gift?"

Chen Yu Fei was completely stunned, subconsciously asking, "What social circle? What does it mean?"

The other person said, "Zhang Er Mao posted it on his social circle, hurry up and take a look!" JrNovels.com
