Chapter: 6387

Therefore, he quickly turned around to take a look and indeed saw Ye Chen standing outside the store door.

A smile appeared on his face as he took two quick steps to open the door and asked, "Mr. Ye, haven't we seen each other for a very long time?"

Ye Chen knew that Zhou Liyuan was continuing his own persona, following the setting of his current role. As such, he naturally recognized himself, but since he had been expelled by Jie Qing Tang, there had been no connection between them.

He's aware that I'm still playing my role, so I'll recognize myself accordingly.

Therefore, Ye Chen also smiled and said, "Zhou Old Master, it's been a long time since we last met. You're now running your own business."

Zhou Liyuan was very modest in saying, "This small-scale business isn't worth mentioning, I don't know what Mr. Ye has come for today."

Ye Chen took out a piece of jade-like amulet and said, "I accidentally got something, and I'd like Zhou Old Master to take a look."

Zhou Liyuan nodded slightly, made a hand gesture inviting him in, and said, "Mr. Ye, please come on in."

Ye Chen walked into the store, and Zhou Liyuan then closed the shop door again before smiling at Ye Chen and saying, "Mr. Ye, you're here. Do your father-in-law know?"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "He doesn't know. I'm waiting for him to leave that tea house before coming down."

After that, he asked Zhou Liyuan, "Zhou Uncle, what did my father-in-law come to tell you?"

Zhou Liyuan smiled and said, "At first, he said he had donated all his money and begged me not to report it. I told him I wasn't planning to report it either. He then quickly called a charity organization to try to get the money back. They said they needed to go through legal channels, so he decided to seek out a lawyer before coming here to ask me to refute Zhang's friend circle. I didn't agree with him, but I also didn't completely shut down the possibility."

Ye Chen shook his head and laughed, "It seems that one's nature is hard to change, and one's habits are hard to break. I thought he would truly realize his mistake, but it turns out that in his mind, money was all that mattered, and so was position."

After saying this, Ye Chen also said, "Zhou Uncle, don't bother with him anymore from now on. This matter shouldn't be given to him any leeway. If he wants to get the donated money back, it's up to him. As for his reputation, let it be if it's going to be ruined."

As it turned out, Ye Chen was not a person who would cover for others. His father-in-law's series of operations this time had indeed damaged his reputation and he showed no signs of regret, so Ye Chen naturally couldn't help him behind the scenes.

So, this matter was left to his father-in-law to handle, and he had already decided to let go.

On the other hand, Zhou Liyuan started speaking up for Shao Changkun, saying, "Ye Young Master, Shao Mr. did this to some extent because he could understand it. When he smashed that vase initially, it was all part of my calculation. I let people hit him too, just to make the scene more realistic, and he's right to bear a grudge."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, sighed, and said, "Bearing a grudge is fine, seeking revenge is fine, but his methods are indeed unbecoming. However, even so, if he wants to get his reputation back from you, I still don't think it's a big deal, but the problem lies in that he doesn't know what it means to be magnanimous."

"Before Zhang Bi Mao exposed this matter, he wasn't really damaged. Although he sold something good, the object itself was something someone else sold to him, and he did at least get 200,000 yuan from you, Uncle Zhou. It's just that his heart is insatiable and he knows that copper Buddha was sold at a high price, so he wants to take it back. If it weren't for his overstepping the mark, I wouldn't have let Zhang Bi Mao expose this matter."

Saying this, Ye Chen sighed again and said, "Ultimately, it's just not possible to play along; selling one's pride and willing to lose is still too difficult for him."

Zhou Liyuan smiled and said, "The difference between a right decision and a wrong decision is worth 20 million. Most people would accept it. Shao Mr. wants to take his things back to some extent, I can understand that."

"Alright, let him go. I've already decided not to intervene in this matter anymore." Zhou Liyuan nodded slightly and said, "In terms of Mr. Shao's behavior style and decision-making logic, he still lacks maturity and rigor. He might never have started a business or experienced any turmoil throughout his life. Compared to most people of the same age group, he still lacks too many comprehensive skills."

Ye Chen fully agreed with Zhou Liyuan's evaluation of Mr. Shao, saying that his old man had indeed led a sheltered life. Since graduating from university, he had been stuck in the family business and was accustomed to waiting for death, which only fell into chaos after his father passed away.

The key point is that he has become accustomed to being suppressed by Ma Ran, Old Lady Shao, and his older brother at home over many years, so the material level of his life has not had a significant impact on him. He's just been lying flat in his own world, whether it's in gold or silver or in mire.

But he wants to be the head of the Calligraphy Association, not for any noble cause or ambition, but simply to accumulate some capital to brag about later and have some face when he goes out. That's all there is to it. JrNovels.com
