Chapter 1071 The ill-fated person

Zhuge Yi and Li Lingchun looked at the piece of paper at the same time. After reading the seven stores in major cities recorded on it, they looked at each other.

"Aren't these all part of the Shengshi Antiques chain stores? You mean, these stores...are all yours?" Zhuge Yi was a little confused. Of course he knew about the Shengshi Antiques Store. After all, it is the largest in the country.

Antique chain stores, as long as you are in the antique circle, there is no reason why you don't know.

Moreover, he also learned through some channels that the investors behind Shengshi Antique Shop had a deep background. Otherwise, how could they have the ability to allow antique shops to bloom all over the country?

Now Xue Chen suddenly said that one-third of the stores had changed hands into his own hands. He really couldn't believe it for a while. This thing was too sudden and made no sense.

"This matter... is more complicated, but you won't think I'm lying, but it's true. Now these seven stores are my property. Together with the other four stores, there are already eleven stores.

, I can’t manage it myself, so I want to find a professional manager.”

Zhuge Yi picked up the piece of paper and read it again. He had been to many cities and had some knowledge of the antique industry in some cities. At least he knew that four of the antique stores were among the best in the local city. So there were seven stores.

It can be said that the value is very high, and the intangible energy required to build a successful antique store is huge. What would make the investors of Shengshi Antiques abandon these seven stores and trade them to Xue Chen?

Li Lingchun on the side did not speak, but the expression on his face also showed the surprise in his heart at this time. He did not expect how his boss could do it. Suddenly there were seven more stores. This was too amazing.

"If you have suitable talents, can you introduce one to me? If you can do it, I will be grateful." Talents who understand the antique industry and are also alert to management are relatively rare, and Zhuge Yi, as an old-timer in the capital's antique circle,

Your social circle is very wide, and you may be able to find the right people.

Zhuge Yi suppressed his inner flag for the time being and considered the help Xue Chen was seeking. He knew antiques and was good at management. There were not many such people, but most of them had been recruited by many art investment institutions.

Suddenly, Li Lingchun said: "I do think of someone."

"Who?" Zhuge Yi asked.

Li Lingchun said a name: "Qu Liancheng."

"He?" Zhuge Yi was stunned for a moment.

Xue Chen also silently recited this person's name in his heart, Qu Liancheng.

"Isn't it appropriate?" Zhuge Yi looked hesitant.

"I don't think it's possible. You should know his situation better than me. He knows enough about the antique industry, and he is also a rare college student back then. He seems to have studied management. If it hadn't happened like that, maybe he would have been there by now.

He became famous in the capital."

Regarding Li Lingchun's words, Zhuge Yi did not refute, but nodded in agreement.

Seeing the two people talking like charades, Xue Chen couldn't help but ask: "Who is Qu Liancheng?"

Zhuge Yi pondered for a moment, and then talked about Qu Liancheng.

"This person's ancestors were once glorious, and it was not until his grandfather and father's generation that they declined. To say that this person's grandfather and father were not serious people, their little family fortune was devoured, especially his father.

During the period of severe crackdowns in the last century, I drank a few sips of wine and got into an argument with a woman. I reached out and pushed the woman. Not only did she fall to the ground, but I also pushed her on the chest. As a result, she was hit by a car.

The driver of the car took him away and ate the peanuts."

Zhuge Yi shook his head.

"However, Qu Liancheng is very promising. He was admitted to Beijing University through hard work. After graduating from university, he became a responsible leader in Panjiayuan. Under his management, Panjiayuan was able to do well, although there were some

The taste has changed, but after all, times are developing."

Not surprisingly, there were changes in this man's life.

"The ancestors of the Qu family were also considered wealthy, so they left behind many good things. Some were confiscated by the state, but some were left. Therefore, Qu Liancheng has been exposed to those old things since he was a child, and he is considered an expert. Later, the family's treasures

All were sold by his father for drinking, and some were sold by Qu Liancheng himself, just so that he could study. In the end, only one good thing was left in the family, and he did not sell it even if Qu Liancheng had no money to eat."

Looking at the expressions of Zhuge Yi and Li Lingchun, Xue Chen knew that the last unsold treasure must be a very precious good thing. Before he could ask, Zhuge Yi told him that it was a pair from the Western Chu period.

of jade.

"We haven't seen the specifics, we've only heard about them, but it shouldn't be wrong. Now, if these two jade bis are placed together, they can fetch at least 1.5 billion at auction. It's no better than

The value of your hand cup is low, but such a pair of treasures was deceived!"

According to Zhuge Yi, Qu Liancheng is a very smart person. He has been involved in the antique business since he was a child. He naturally knows the depth of the antique business. Logically speaking, he will not be easily deceived, but he was deceived. It is not Qu.

Liancheng's brain is not smart enough, but the scammer has set up a trap too deep.

After Qu Liancheng graduated from university, he joined Panjiayuan and became a small leader. He also had a girlfriend and it took him two years to get married. The one who cheated Qu Liancheng was his wife, who was already five months pregnant.

, and stole the pair of jade stones.

"Could it be that from the very beginning when you became friends with Qu Lian, you were just chasing the pair of treasures you cheated on him with?"

"You're right, otherwise how could Qu Liancheng, a smart man like him, be deceived? Qu Liancheng regards that pair as his lifeblood, and keeps it in a bank locker, out of reach of anyone.

That female liar can tolerate it. She is married and five months pregnant, and she wants to see the family heirloom. How could Qu Liancheng be suspicious at this time? Alas."

Needless to say, my daughter-in-law, who had been pregnant for two years and five months pregnant, disappeared with her family heirloom.

Li Lingchun sighed deeply: "At that time, Qu Liancheng was deeply hit and realized that he had been fooled. Later, he tried every means to contact the female liar who had gone abroad and said that he could give up the baby but give him the child. But

How could a female liar give birth to a child? She had already aborted it, and Qu Liancheng received such a big blow one after another, and most of his hair turned gray overnight, and he even became crazy."

"What? Crazy?" Xue Chen was stunned for a moment. Is the person they planned to introduce to him a lunatic?

"He was crazy. He stayed in a mental hospital for four or five years. Maybe God thought that his life was too miserable. As a result, he slowly recovered his normal mind and returned to society the year before last."

"Then what is this person doing now?" Xue Chen asked.

"Killing fish at the wet market."



Xue Chen and Zhuge Yi came to a vegetable market located in the West Fifth Ring Road. This is a very ordinary vegetable market that meets all the vegetables and meat that the working class needs every day.

The two people came to the aquatic area and searched around. Xue Chen finally saw Qu Lianchen himself.

Qu Liancheng's real age should be around thirty-five, but the man who was sitting on a plastic bench killing fish for a buyer and disemboweling it looked like he was fifty years old, with most of his hair gray.

This made Xue Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This man really had a bad fate. His family was in ruins and his father was shot. But with hard work, he was admitted to university and had his own career. Although it was bumpy, he was still prosperous.

There is a volt.

But who would have thought that the daughter-in-law whom she had been with for two years and ruined her child for him was a liar. Her family heirloom was deceived and her child was aborted. Then she went crazy and spent several years in a mental hospital. Now she has regained her sanity...



"Qu Liancheng." When he walked over, Zhuge Yi called this man's name.

Qu Liancheng had just washed off the dirt on his hands in a basin full of blood. When he heard someone calling his name, he raised his head and looked over.

"Are you... Mr. Zhuge Yi from Liulichang?" Qu Liancheng said uncertainly.

"I didn't expect your memory to be so good. The last time we met was probably seven or eight years ago." That is, when people are not crazy yet.

Qu Liancheng stood up, casually wiped his hands on his apron, and was very polite and respectful to Zhuge Yi: "Look, I don't even have a place to stay here, and I can't ask you to sit down."

"It doesn't matter." Zhuge Yi waved his hand nonchalantly, "When will you get off work? I'll wait for you, then find a place to sit down and have a sip of tea and a meal. I'll talk to you about some things."

"I have five more fish here. I estimate it won't take an hour. If you don't want to be tired, you can go to the Xu's restaurant at the corner of the street and have a seat. I'm really sorry. This fish is too delicate. I can't sell it today. I'll sell it tonight.

My stomach turns." Qu Liancheng rubbed his hands.

"That's OK." Zhuge Yi nodded and led Xue Chen out of the vegetable market.

Xue Chen thought about whether he could find someone to buy those fish with some money, or he had to wait for an hour. He didn't care, but he couldn't let Zhuge Yi wait with him.

When he proposed this idea, Zhuge Yi smiled nonchalantly and said it would be okay to wait a while, and also said don't do that. Although he didn't mean anything else, it would be bad for outsiders to think wrongly.

Xue Chen thought it made sense. If he really took out a handful of money and found someone to buy those fish, there was no guarantee that Qu Liancheng would know what was going on. If he thought wrongly, the gain would outweigh the loss.

The two of them arrived at the street corner and found Xu's Restaurant, a small shop. After they sat down, they told the boss that they were waiting. The boss didn't say anything and even brought a pot of tea.

After waiting for more than forty minutes, Qu Liancheng opened the door curtain and came in: "I've been waiting for a long time." (To be continued)
