The Amazing son in law Chapter 6762
Zhou Liangyun expressed, “I never intended to attract so much attention. My goal was simply to open a shop on the antique street and take things slowly. Now, I’ve unexpectedly gained a lot of popularity. Each day, numerous visitors come to me for appraisals. While it’s a bit overwhelming, it’s also a double-edged sword. I plan to take things down a notch by opening later and closing earlier each day, and I’ll limit the number of customers I receive. I believe that the excitement will die down in about a month.”
“Once the buzz calms down,” Zhou Liangyun continued, “I intend to conduct my business in a more relaxed manner. I’m not focused on making money or expanding my career. Life in Jinling is relatively laid-back, and I think it’s quite pleasant when people choose to slow down. I envision gradually retiring here in a leisurely way.”
Charlie Wade nodded in agreement, stating, “The Rothschild family is manageable, but I’m unsure if the Po Qing Association is still keeping an eye on Sifang Baozhuang and on you. If the Po Qing Society can be dealt with in the future, you will be completely liberated.”
Zhou Liangyun smiled and replied, “I have faith that with Master Wade’s skills, that day will come soon.”
Then, Zhou Liangyun recalled something and quickly added, “Oh, Mr. Wade, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Would you like to eat together? There’s a cozy local restaurant nearby that serves delicious dishes and can deliver directly to the shop. If you’re okay with it, we could enjoy a meal together here.”
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Sure! My wife has been busy with her company and working late every night, so I’d love to have a meal with you.”
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of someone else and said to Zhou Liangyun, “By the way, Uncle Zhou, I know an old acquaintance of yours is in Jinling. Why don’t you order a few extra dishes? I’ll invite him over!”

Meanwhile, Jacob felt downcast. After leaving the antique street, he hailed a taxi and instructed the driver, “Take me to Heaven Springs.”
Jacob’s intention to visit Heaven Springs was primarily to invite President Pei for a meal, hoping to have a conversation while dining.
He first called Don Albert and said warmly, “Fifth Master, this is Jacob.”
Don Albert responded in a rather indifferent tone, “What does Mr. Willson want from me?”
Jacob quickly explained, “Actually, Master, I’d like you to reserve a small private room for me. I’m planning to invite our president over for dinner tonight.”
Don Albert politely declined, “I’m sorry, Mr. Willson, but we have distinguished guests at Heaven Springs this evening. Please don’t mention it to anyone. Let’s discuss this another time.” Jacob was taken aback by Don Albert’s rudeness, which was a stark contrast to his usual cheerful demeanor. Feeling disheartened, he replied, “Alright, Master Wu, if it’s inconvenient, I’ll reach out another day. Thank you.”
Don Albert simply hummed in acknowledgment and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. I have work to attend to.”
Without waiting for Jacob to respond, Don Albert ended the call abruptly.
This wasn’t Don Albert’s fault; he held a deep respect for Charlie Wade and, consequently, for Jacob as well. However, following Charlie Wade’s directive to convey the consequences of poor decisions, Don Albert felt compelled to adopt a cooler demeanor, making sure Jacob noticed the change.
