Door-to-door dragon son-in-law
Chapter 3173 A scholar dies for his confidant
Xiao Liu willingly gave up his position, which made President Pei and his wife both breathe a sigh of relief.
The other vice presidents present also felt a lot more relaxed instantly.
They were also afraid that President Pei would ask one of them to make room for Xiao Changkun. Although everyone disliked Xiao Changkun, when they thought that Master Hong Wu was behind him, no one wanted to offend him openly. If one of them really had to give up his position, no matter who they were, no one would dare to refuse.
Seeing that the problem had been temporarily resolved, President Pei couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his wife beside him under the table.
I have to say that my wife's plan is indeed very thorough. With Xiao Liu's words, we can just make a job adjustment tomorrow and let Xiao Changkun come back to work, and the difficult problem will be solved.
President Pei's wife deliberately said at this time: "Why don't we all toast to Xiao Liu together! This time, it's all thanks to him!"
"Right, right, right!" President Pei came back to his senses at once, immediately picked up his glass and stood up, saying to everyone: "Come on, everyone, let's toast to Xiao Liu and thank him for his active contribution this time. I also hope that everyone can remember Xiao Liu's favor. Since it is a favor, everyone must repay it when there is a chance in the future!"
As soon as President Pei said this, Xiao Liu suddenly felt the urge to die for his friend.
He felt that President Pei was a very nice person. He was promoted by him. Now that he was asked to step down, he didn't have much to say. But he didn't expect that President Pei would give him so much face and speak so clearly in front of so many people. He was deeply moved.
Others also knew that Xiao Liu's initiative to give up his seat this time really helped everyone solve a problem, so it was natural for everyone to remember him as a favor.
Then, everyone started to agree, and in their words, they did not forget to praise Xiao Liu, and at the same time promised to repay him for his kindness in the future.
Xiao Liu's eyes were red with emotion. He stood up with his glass raised and said loudly: "Thank you, President Pei, my sister-in-law and all the leaders for your care. I, Liu Haitao, have no way to repay you. Let me drink first to show my respect!"
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank all the wine in the glass.
The others did not hesitate at all and drank it all in one gulp. The atmosphere was very friendly and warm.
At this time, someone suddenly asked, "By the way, President Pei, if we let Xiao Changkun come back to work, will the people below have any objections? If they get upset again or complain, it will be quite troublesome, right?"
Before President Pei could speak, his wife Huang Qiuyun spoke first, "Don't worry, everyone. Although Xiao Changkun's previous incident was indeed a scandal, it has not risen to the level of a criminal case, nor even a civil dispute. Moreover, it was only Zhang Ermao's one-sided statement. Without official intervention, those rumors will always be rumors. Anyone who files a lawsuit with unfounded rumors will never win."
Huang Qiuyun continued, "Let's take the popular issue of keeping a mistress as an example. If Xiao Changkun was exposed to have a mistress outside, and there was solid evidence, and his original wife also went to the association to ask for justice, then the association would definitely fire him. But if only a woman came out and said that she was Xiao Changkun's mistress, and there was no other evidence, and even his original wife did not admit it, then in this case, no one would do anything to Xiao Changkun."
Huang Qiuyun said this intentionally to remind the other people present, in case someone was unhappy and reported Xiao Changkun, and finally caused trouble for President Pei. After all, in her opinion, once Xiao Changkun returned to the Calligraphy and Painting Association, someone would make a fuss about Xiao Changkun's return, and the first person to bear the pressure would inevitably be her husband. She wanted to prevent this from happening as much as possible.
When the others heard what she said, they felt that what she said did make some sense. Once they subconsciously agreed with Huang Qiuyun's point of view and felt that complaining about Xiao Changkun was useless, they completely extinguished the spark of hope in their subconscious minds.
The group reached a consensus and the atmosphere quickly became lively. Everyone clinked glasses and drank to their heart's content.
President Pei has a good alcohol tolerance, but he deliberately controlled himself tonight and did not really drink enough. However, in the second half of the drinking party, he deliberately pretended as if he had drunk enough. He leaned on the table for a while, and then rubbed his temples pretending to have a headache. Even his wife was fooled by him. She poured him warm water and patted his back, showing her great concern.
Seeing that President Pei seemed to have drunk too much, everyone stopped toasting him and instead, after the others shared the remaining wine, they ended the drinking party early, saying that President Pei was not feeling well.
Everyone escorted the drunk President Pei out, sent him to the passenger seat, watched his wife drive away, and then everyone went back home to their mothers.
After the car drove a few hundred meters, President Pei, who was originally slumped in the passenger seat, sat up straight and said to Huang Qiuyun beside him: "Wife, turn right ahead."
Huang Qiuyun was startled by his sudden words and asked in surprise: "Old Pei, aren't you drunk?"
"Not much." President Pei said, "This is not my capacity. If you want me to drink more, you need at least another half pound of Moutai."
Huang Qiuyun shook her head helplessly: "Tonight, everyone at the table is your subordinate. Do you still need to hold back? If you don't want to drink, just say so. Who can force you to drink?"
President Pei said, "Oh, you don't understand. Today I have to show that I get along well with them. Of course I can't act like a leader. If I just do whatever they want, it will look like I'm not approachable enough, and they won't really treat me as their big brother."
As he was about to reach the intersection, President Pei said, "Hurry up and turn right to Tomson First Class. I have to go see Xiao Changkun."
Huang Qiuyun suddenly realized, and turned right while asking him: "You are keeping the amount, are you planning to meet Xiao Changkun?"
"Yes." President Pei sighed and said depressedly: "I don't know how much he must have hated me in his heart these past few days. We will see each other every day in the future. Shouldn't our relationship be eased? Now that his position as director has been vacated, I can tell him in person to show my sincerity."
Huang Qiuyun asked hurriedly: "Are we going to visit him at his home? We haven't prepared anything yet, so it would be inappropriate to go empty-handed, right?"
President Pei said, "It's too late to prepare anything so late. Besides, it's not appropriate to go to someone else's house right after drinking. I was thinking that when we get to Tomson Yipin, I will call Xiao Changkun to come out, apologize to him and chat for a few minutes, then tell him the results of today and ask him to report back to the association tomorrow morning."
Huang Qiuyun asked again: "Do you think he can forgive you?"
President Pei waved his hand: "No one would forgive this kind of thing. All I can do is try to make amends and ease the conflict. He will definitely still hate me in his heart, but I am sincere in making amends. I believe things will get better."
At this point, President Pei sighed helplessly: "Alas! If I can't satisfy Xiao Changkun, I think I will have to work in the Calligraphy and Painting Association until I retire. In the future, I will have to see Xiao Changkun every day, so I have to find a way to repair this relationship."
Huang Qiuyun nodded gently and said, "If you have the chance, you should strive for further advancement. You won't make much money if you work in this position until retirement, and your retirement benefits won't be that high. Look at Lao Qin, he used to be your superior, and he made a lot of money over the years. Now that he's retired, his benefits are also shockingly high. His children and grandchildren treat him like a star, and he enjoys a good life every day. And you see, he doesn't have to queue up to register when he has a headache or fever. If he encounters a disease that cannot be cured by a designated hospital, his doctor will help him arrange for a consultation with an expert from a Class 3 hospital, and he doesn't have to spend a penny. If you can retire at his level, your son will definitely wish you lived to be a hundred years old!"
"Yes..." President Pei also agreed and said, "At my age, I still have some chance, but I don't know how long I will be delayed because of Xiao Changkun this time. It's okay if I delay it for three or two years in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, but if it's delayed for more than five years, I will have no chance at all."
Huang Qiuyun comforted him: "It's okay, everything depends on human effort, let's take it slow!"
……
Tomson Yipin at this time.
When Xiao Changkun returned home, he lay lazily on the sofa, fiddling with his mobile phone by himself.
He has been keeping an eye on his WeChat, wanting to see if President Pei and other colleagues from the Calligraphy and Painting Association would contact him. In his opinion, after all, his son-in-law has already greeted Master Hong Wu, and if Master Hong Wu makes an effort, maybe he will really have a chance to go back.
Once the internal discussion decides to let me go back, someone will definitely contact me and inform me of the news.
So, he waited eagerly, hoping for good news.
This situation is very similar to a girl who breaks up with her boyfriend out of anger and is looking forward to her boyfriend sending her a message asking for reconciliation.
Ma Lan didn't stay in the living room for long, because she had done a lot of shopping in Dubai this time. The floor tiles from Dubai Trade were almost patinaed on the soles of her shoes. She couldn't wait to take her things back to her room and put them away bit by bit, and then enjoy them to her heart's content.
Ye Chen didn't rush back to the room, but sat down opposite Xiao Changkun, brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for himself and Xiao Changkun, and said, "Dad, don't be depressed alone, come and have a cup of tea."
Xiao Changkun nodded and placed his phone next to the teacup without locking the screen. He drank while glancing at the phone screen out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing this, Ye Chen deliberately asked him: "Dad, you keep staring at your phone, are you waiting for some message?"
Xiao Changkun shook his head and denied it: "No, no, I just checked it. I check my phone when I have nothing to do. It has become a habit."
As he was talking, a familiar avatar suddenly popped up in the WeChat message list, and he could see the content of the message he sent later: "Lao Xiao, sorry to bother you so late, are you home?"
Xiao Changkun's eyes lit up, and he quickly put down his teacup, picked up his phone, and deliberately asked him on WeChat: "What's the matter?"
President Pei quickly replied: "Old Xiao, there is something I want to explain to you in person, and I also have some good news to tell you in person. I have arrived at the gate of your community. If it is convenient for you, please come out and let us talk in person."
