Chapter 2849

Seeing this line of words, Lin Wan'er immediately said: "Queens should be Queens, New York. In this way, this photo was indeed taken in Queens. As for Chou... it is mostly used in the English translation of the Chinese surname 'Zhou'. It seems that this person who took a photo with the Young Master's father is surnamed Zhou, and he is a Chinese-American, but I don't know what his name is."

"You're right..." Ye Chen nodded gently, while his eyebrows were also constantly furrowed.

He muttered: "I always feel that this man surnamed Zhou is a bit familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen him for a moment."

Lin Wan'er said hurriedly: "Young Master, don't be anxious. The reason why you have a feeling of familiarity must be because there is indeed a similar face in the Young Master's memory, but the Young Master's memory of that person might not be very deep, or you might have only had a very brief intersection, so Young Master, don't be anxious, think carefully, you will definitely be able to think of clues."

As she spoke, she asked Ye Chen: "Besides feeling that this person is familiar, are there any other clues that make you feel strange or familiar?"

Ye Chen kept rubbing the bridge of his nose and said: "As for other clues... I always feel that, judging from this photo, this person surnamed Zhou is not only a bit familiar, but there is also a certain point that is more familiar, as if I have seen it before, but I can't grasp the specific clues in my mind."

Lin Wan'er comforted him: "Young Master, don't be anxious, let's sort it out one by one, first talk about the attire of the Young Master and this man surnamed Zhou, are there any special details?"

Ye Chen looked and said: "My father is wearing what should be a pilot jacket that was relatively popular at the end of the last century, and the person next to him is wearing an ordinary wool trench coat. In that era, they should both be relatively normal attire..."

Lin Wan'er asked again: "What about Queens? The Young Master's parents lived in the United States for many years, did they talk to you about Queens, or did they take you to Queens?"

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and answered: "In my memory, going to the United States with my parents, or going back to visit relatives with my mother, we always lived on Long Island. Besides Long Island, we usually went to Manhattan more often. I don't have any obvious impression of Queens."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "Even this antique shop, I only learned about it from my eldest uncle a few days ago. My parents never mentioned it to me before..."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen's expression suddenly stiffened.

Lin Wan'er didn't notice Ye Chen's change, but stared at the photo and kept looking at it, saying: "Or we can ask your father's old subordinates to see if they know this person?"

After finishing, Lin Wan'er didn't hear Ye Chen's response, so she subconsciously asked: "Young Master?"

Ye Chen still didn't respond at this time.

Lin Wan'er turned her head to look at him, seeing that his face was horrified, and his whole person seemed to be frozen, so she hurriedly asked him: "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Chen was suddenly awakened by Lin Wan'er's inquiry.

Immediately, cold sweat began to emerge on his forehead and cheeks, and he said with rare panic: "I... I think I know why this person is a bit familiar..."

Lin Wan'er was surprised and asked hurriedly: "Young Master remembered?!"

"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded heavily and explained: "You said his surname is Zhou, and I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and then the antique shop behind them..."

As he spoke, Ye Chen looked at Lin Wan'er, his expression still horrified, and said: "Do you remember, I told you that my father-in-law pretended to understand when he didn't, insisted on going to the antique shop to broaden his horizons, but ended up accidentally breaking someone else's jade spring vase?"

Lin Wan'er said without hesitation: "Of course! The Young Master obtained the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' from the wreckage of that jade spring vase. How could I not remember such an important thing!"

Ye Chen nodded, pointed to the man who was taking a photo with his father in the photo, and muttered: "At that time, the manager of that antique shop was him!"

"What?!" Lin Wan'er widened her eyes, her voice trembling as she asked: "Young Master means that this man who took a photo with your father in New York more than twenty years ago worked at an antique shop in Jin Ling more than twenty years later, and it was he who gave the jade spring vase containing the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' to your father-in-law?!"

"Yes..." Ye Chen nodded firmly: "I'm sure! This person's name is Zhou Liangyun, and that antique shop in Jin Ling is called Jiqingtang, which is an industry of the Song family in Jin Ling. At that time, Jiqingtang was not doing well. In the vast Song family industry, it was just an inconspicuous corner. The person in charge of this business line of Jiqingtang was the current Song family head, Song Wanting, and this Zhou Liangyun was the manager of Jiqingtang at that time..."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen felt that his back was already soaked.

In the past, he felt that he obtained the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra" entirely by pure luck.

Until some time ago, he heard his eldest uncle mention that his parents had once obtained the "Nine Mysteries Sutra Preface." He speculated that there must be a connection between the "Nine Mysteries Sutra Preface" and the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra," but there was no clear evidence;

Now, he suddenly discovered that the manager of Jiqingtang named Zhou Liangyun was actually his father's good friend more than twenty years ago.

And that jade spring vase was handed to his father-in-law, Xiao Xiao Changkun, by his hand.

At that time, his father-in-law was with him in the VIP room while he waited at the door, so he didn't see with his own eyes what happened inside, but from his father-in-law's later description, he knew that Zhou Liangyun took the jade spring vase out of the exquisite packaging box and handed it to his father-in-law, and his father-in-law's hand slipped, and he dropped the vase to the ground...

Now it seems that with this Zhou Liangyun involved, this could never be a coincidence.

So, Ye Chen subconsciously took out his mobile phone and immediately called Song Wanting.

Now, the only way to understand this Zhou Liangyun is probably Song Wanting!

The call was connected quickly.

Receiving Ye Chen's call in the evening, Song Wanting was still a little secretly happy. She asked with joy: "Why is Master Ye calling Wanting so late?"

Ye Chen suppressed the tension in his heart and asked: "Wanting, I want to ask if that manager named Zhou Liangyun at Jiqingtang is still working at the Song family?"

"He's not here anymore." Song Wanting said subconsciously: "At that time, he was very rude to you and your father-in-law at Jiqingtang, and he couldn't see the true value of the jade spring vase you repaired. Wanting felt that he not only had flaws in professional ethics but also had a great lack of professional quality, so I fired him."

"Fired?" Ye Chen asked hurriedly: "Then do you know where he went later?"

"I don't know..." Song Wanting said: "After that incident, I never saw him again."

Ye Chen asked hurriedly again: "Then when did he go to work at Jiqingtang?"

Song Wanting said: "He worked at Jiqingtang for a very short time, from beginning to end, it was only a little over a month, less than two months."

Hearing this, Ye Chen was even more surprised in his heart.

This Zhou Liangyun only went to work at Jiqingtang two months before the incident. All these signs indicate that he seemed to have gone to Jiqingtang just for him!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen asked hurriedly again: "Wanting, did you recruit him at that time?"

"Yes." Song Wanting said: "At that time, I was not valued in the Song family and was squeezed out by my eldest uncle and cousin, so the family gave me the business of Jiqingtang. At that time, Jiqingtang was already in debt, the internal situation was also very chaotic, and the internal and external collusion of employees was very serious, so I fired everyone and replaced them with a new batch of people. Zhou Liangyun was the one who came to apply for the job at that time;"

Ye Chen said: "Why did you recruit him at that time?"

Song Wanting thought for a moment and said: "This person gave me a very good feeling at first. He had a very good understanding of Eastern and Western antique knowledge, and he was humble and very well-bred. During the interview, it could be seen that this person was very eloquent and could answer any questions fluently. Plus, his salary requirements were not outrageous, and the overall feeling was that the cost-performance ratio was extremely high, so I let him join the job on the day of the interview."

As she spoke, Song Wanting said with some annoyance: "It's just that I didn't expect that this person's nature would be so bad. That day, he not only offended your father-in-law but even offended you, and he couldn't even see your amazing repair technique. This point is my lack of judgment, and I ask Master Ye to forgive me..."

Ye Chen thought to himself: "Thinking about it, the person Song Wanting described as having a very good understanding of antiques, being humble, and having great breeding must be Zhou Liangyun's true identity. As for the Zhou Liangyun who was furious because he dropped the jade spring vase, slapped his father-in-law, and spoke rudely to him, that was his disguise..."

At this time, Song Wanting on the phone asked him: "Master Ye, why did you suddenly think of asking about Zhou Liangyun?"

Ye Chen covered up: "Oh, it's nothing, I was just chatting with a friend about the past and suddenly had some emotions, so I wanted to ask about this person's situation."

As he spoke, Ye Chen asked again: "By the way, Wanting, can you find this person's information for me?"

Song Wanting said: "I will ask the person currently in charge of Jiqingtang. The employee information of Jiqingtang was still kept on the computer at Jiqingtang. Jiqingtang was not registered under the Song Group at the beginning of its industrial and commercial registration, so the employee information there was not merged into the personnel files of the Song Group, and the management was not as formal as the Song Group."

Ye Chen said: "Then it's hard for you, Wanting, to help me ask, and send it to me as soon as you find it."

"Okay, Master Ye!"

Ye Chen hung up the phone and said to Lin Wan'er: "After getting the information later, it will be hard for Miss Lin to send it to Grandpa Sun and let him help check all the files and information of this person."

Lin Wan'er said without hesitation: "Young Master, don't worry, I will tell him immediately."

Ye Chen nodded and waited anxiously with Lin Wan'er for Song Wanting's feedback.

And Song Wanting's efficiency was also very high. A few minutes later, she sent Ye Chen a Word document.

Ye Chen opened the document and saw that the nationality column of Zhou Liangyun was written as China, and the ancestral home column was written as Jin Ling, so he knew that this information was likely fake.

Continuing to look down, the personal resume of Zhou Liangyun inside did not have any credibility.

In the resume, Zhou Liangyun had been engaged in antique-related work in China. It said that he had set up a stall to sell antiques in Panjiayuan, Yan Jing, more than twenty years ago, and later moved to several places in China, worked as an antique dealer, worked as a manager of an antique shop, and even worked in a factory specializing in producing low-end cultural artifacts.

In the entire resume, there was no mention that he had ever left China.

But the photo of his father and him was clearly taken in Queens, New York.

What's more outrageous is that in the language column, Zhou Liangyun only wrote Chinese and didn't write English.

As a person who has been abroad, and a person who went abroad more than twenty years ago, his English is likely to be good, and English is also a plus for finding a job. There is no reason for him not to write it on it, unless he doesn't want people to know that he has been abroad at all.

Moreover, in the education column, Zhou Liangyun wrote high school.

According to the persona created by this resume, this is a loser who failed the high school entrance examination and has been struggling in the antique industry. Although he is a loser and not from an academic background, fortunately, his practical ability is quite good. After accumulating more than twenty years of experience on the front line of the antique industry, he can be considered an experienced expert.

After reading it, Ye Chen said to Lin Wan'er with some frustration: "I think most of the content in this resume should be fake."

Lin Wan'er on the side smiled bitterly: "I think that among so many words here, maybe only the word 'Zhou' is true. He should really be surnamed Zhou. After all, the Young Master's father also wrote 'Chou' on the back of the photo."

Ye Chen asked her: "Do you think his name could be true?"

Lin Wan'er shrugged: "I think it's impossible to be true."

As she spoke, she pointed to the name on the resume and smiled helplessly: "Young Master, his name is Zhou Liangyun, Liangyun! Isn't it good luck? Translated into English, it's Good Luck!"

"Although the name Liangyun is not uncommon in Chinese names, why is it him?"

"Why is it him who took out the jade spring vase to the Young Master's father-in-law, indirectly let the Young Master obtain the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra', and indirectly promoted the Young Master to meet the wind and become a dragon, called Liangyun?"

"In my opinion, this name was most likely created for you, Young Master..."
