Chapter 3172 Drawing a pie

When President Pei heard his wife was trying to take on too much responsibility again, he immediately got angry and said in a sarcastic tone, "Huang Qiuyun, you should just stop worrying about it. Isn't this a big deal enough for you? You still have to talk to them. By the time you finish, I'm afraid I'll lose my position as the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association!"

Huang Qiuyun was not angry at being bullied by him, and said, "Hubby, I messed up this matter, please give me another chance to make up for it."

President Pei asked her, "Tell me how you plan to talk to them about this matter first. They have long had opinions about Xiao Changkun, and this time driving Xiao Changkun away just fulfilled their wishes. If you bring Xiao Changkun back, they will definitely not agree. And don't forget that the position originally prepared for Xiao Changkun has now been taken by someone else. How can you let them go willingly?"

Huang Qiuyun asked him, "Husband, do you know what it means to keep a funeral a secret?"

President Pei subconsciously said, "Isn't it just like the ancient times when the emperor passed away, the news was not announced to the public, and the political struggle was completed first, those who should fight for the throne fought for the throne, and those who should rebel rebelled."

"Yes." Huang Qiuyun said, "Our current situation is similar to this. Think about it, who knew that you wouldn't be promoted this time? They must have thought that you were going to be promoted soon, right?"

"Yes." President Pei said, "Even I just learned the news. They probably won't know it for a while."

Huang Qiuyun said, "That's it. When you invite them to dinner today, you still have to act like you're about to get promoted. Let them think that you might be leaving soon, and the position of president will be vacated soon. In this way, they will think that you are inviting them to dinner to arrange their promotions, just like you originally planned to remove Xiao Changkun. After Xiao Changkun was removed, everyone behind him could be promoted one rank. Now that you are acting like you are going to get promoted, they will definitely think that everyone can be promoted another rank soon. In this way, won't the position of director that you wanted to leave for Xiao Changkun be vacated?"

President Pei pondered for a moment, then said: "That's the truth, but the final result is that someone must take a step back to make room for Xiao Changkun!"

Huang Qiuyun said: "Whoever occupies the seat intended for Xiao Changkun will give up this seat first."

Then she asked, "Who sat in that seat later?"

President Pei said: "Xiao Liu, Liu Haitao."

Huang Qiuyun hummed and said, "You just have to promise Xiao Liu that if he is willing to give up his position to Xiao Changkun this time, then when your transfer order comes down, a new vice president position will be vacant in the association. At that time, you can help him bypass Xiao Changkun's position as director and promote him to vice president. In this way, he will definitely agree."

President Pei asked: "Won't I be unable to bring him up in the end? What if he comes to settle accounts with me?"

Huang Qiuyun said hurriedly: "You are stupid! Isn't there still Master Hong Wu? When we have dinner today, let's make it clear to him. Let's say that Master Hong Wu wants Xiao Changkun to come back, and specifically wants to find a decent position for Xiao Changkun. On the whole, let Xiao Liu sacrifice first, and then put the blame on the other vice presidents, so that they know that Xiao Liu made the sacrifice for everyone this time, and everyone owes Xiao Liu a favor. When Xiao Liu realizes that you can't get promoted for a while, he won't just hate you;"

Huang Qiuyun added, "Besides that, if Xiao Liu wants to cause trouble, he will have to consider the weight of Master Hong Wu. On one side is Master Hong Wu, and on the other side are you and several other vice presidents. Do you think he dares to offend so many people at the same time? Won't he suffer the loss in silence?"

When President Pei heard this, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "What a good idea! As long as Xiao Liu is willing to give up the position of director, I can give Master Hong Wu a satisfactory explanation about Xiao Changkun. As for the other vice presidents, they will definitely not dare to object. Whoever objects will be against Master Hong Wu, and they will have to weigh the interests at that time."

Huang Qiuyun said: "If you think this method is feasible, hurry up and inform them to have dinner together tonight. I will book a hotel room now and send you the address later!"

President Pei said without hesitation: "Okay! Let's do as you say! Let's pass this level first!"

……

While President Pei was actively preparing for the evening dinner, Ye Chen took Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan to a restaurant near Tomson Yipin and sat down.

Xiao Churan had to work overtime at a meeting at the Dihao Group in the evening. Ye Chen saw that it was already time for dinner, and it would take too long to light a fire and cook at home, so he simply took the old couple to eat outside.

After sitting down in the restaurant, Xiao Changkun sighed and muttered, "I never want to go out again. This trip to Dubai was so stressful that I almost lost half my life."

Ma Lan complained to him on the side: "If you hadn't messed around, it wouldn't have ended up like this. I still feel bad when I think about it now, handing over tens of millions of things to others."

"Hey!" Xiao Changkun waved his hand: "Don't mention it, let me live two more years."

After saying that, he remembered something, looked at Ye Chen, and asked him: "Good son-in-law, do you think Master Hong Wu can help me get back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Such a small matter should not be a big problem for him."

Xiao Changkun nodded and said, "I'm satisfied that I can return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association. If I can't go back, I still don't know what I will do in the future... It's really worrying..."

Ye Chen asked the waiter to order a few hard dishes, and then said to Xiao Changkun: "Dad, don't think too much about it for now, just wait for the news."

"it is good."

……

On the other side, President Pei brought the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the newly appointed director to the hotel booked by his wife Huang Qiuyun.

When everyone saw President Pei bringing his wife, they thought that this meal must be a farewell dinner for President Pei before his promotion, so someone said, "President Pei, you and your sister-in-law invited us to dinner, which means you are about to be promoted, right?"

"Yes!" Someone quickly echoed, "President Pei, after you get promoted, don't forget us old buddies!"

President Pei sighed and said, "Everyone, to be honest, I invited you all to dinner today not because of my business."

Everyone was puzzled and asked him, "Why is that?"

President Pei said: "This afternoon, the famous Master Hong Wu from Jinling called me. He wanted Xiao Changkun to return to our calligraphy and painting association and asked me to do this as soon as possible."

"Ah?!" When everyone heard that Xiao Changkun was asked to come back, they were all a little reluctant.

One of them said, "President Pei, Xiao Changkun has poor business ability and bad character. We finally kicked him out. Now we can't let him come back no matter what!"

Others nodded in support.

Not only do they hate Xiao Changkun, they also don't want him to threaten their current positions after he comes back.

Chairman Pei said helplessly: "Let's put it this way, Master Hong Wu's methods are well-known in Jinling. If we don't take him seriously when he speaks for Xiao Changkun, then he will definitely come and do it himself. Who among us can withstand the pressure at that time?!"

Everyone looked at each other for a moment.

Master Hong Wu's strength is indeed extraordinary.

Moreover, there are rumors in the martial arts world that he is now a member of the Yanjing Ye family, which means that he can access the resources of the Yanjing Ye family and his network of contacts is much stronger. If he really wants to lead the personnel transfer of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, it will definitely be a piece of cake.

At this time, Huang Qiuyun on the side said: "Everyone knows that Xiao Changkun was the executive vice president before, and his last crime has not been classified by the judicial department, so strictly speaking it is not a scandal, it is just a rumor. If Master Hong Wu helps him from above and makes him return to the position of executive vice president, I believe everyone will be beaten back to their original state."

As soon as Huang Qiuyun said this, everyone's expressions suddenly became tense.

Except for President Pei, everyone else is the direct beneficiary of Xiao Changkun's resignation. If Xiao Changkun is reinstated, everyone will have to return to their original positions, and this promotion will be in vain.

Seeing that his wife had created the right atmosphere, President Pei said, "I think, for everyone's sake, I should try my best to ensure that Xiao Changkun will not be reinstated. So my current idea is to find him a director position first. If Master Hong Wu is satisfied, then we can avoid losses to the greatest extent."

When Xiao Changkun was mentioned as the director, Xiao Liu asked nervously, "President Pei, if you let Xiao Changkun be the director, then I will have to give up my position to him, right?"

President Pei said: "Xiao Liu, it is true that they are giving up their positions, but it does not necessarily mean that you should give up your position. If your position does not satisfy their appetite, then you have to raise it up."

Then, President Pei added: "We all need to reach a consensus. No matter who gives up his seat, it is for everyone present. Everyone must remember his favor and find an opportunity to repay him in the future."

Everyone nodded. At this moment, there seemed to be no other good solution.

President Pei then looked at Xiao Liu and said, "Xiao Liu, if you have no objection, I will start with your position. If giving your position to Xiao Changkun can satisfy him, then this matter will end here. We will all remember your kindness in the future. When I get a transfer order one day, my position will be vacated for the executive vice president, and the positions of others will be increased accordingly. But don't worry, the vacant vice president position will definitely be reserved for you. You can bypass Director Xiao Changkun and become the vice president directly!"

When Xiao Liu heard this, he felt relieved. In his opinion, President Pei would be promoted soon, and it would be necessary for him to give up the position of vice president. Moreover, as long as he agreed to this, the president and all the vice presidents would owe him a favor, which was a great thing. So it seemed that there was nothing unacceptable for him to give up his position to Xiao Changkun.

Thinking of this, Xiao Liu said without hesitation: "President Pei, since you are sacrificing for everyone, then I, Liu Haitao, have no choice but to give my position to Xiao Changkun!"
