Chapter 3175: Safe and sound

The moment Xiao Changkun agreed to go back, President Pei almost cried.

He had waited for so long just for Xiao Changkun to say this. As long as Xiao Changkun showed his willingness to go back, he would have overcome this hurdle.

As for whether he could be promoted in the future, he no longer dared to hope for it. Now he was very satisfied as long as he could keep the position of president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.

So, he excitedly shook Xiao Changkun's hand and said with emotion: "That's great, Changkun! After you come back, we two brothers will still fight side by side. Don't worry, I will definitely find opportunities and ways to promote you little by little."

Xiao Changkun had already lost his basic trust in him, so he said indifferently, "Whether you get promoted or not, let's not talk about it now."

After saying that, Xiao Changkun deliberately showed off, so he pointed to the magnificent gate of Tomson Yipin behind him and sighed, "Ah, in fact, it can be seen that with my family situation and my age, there is really no need for me to work hard. The reason why I went to work in the Calligraphy and Painting Association is because I like it. I will do this job if I am happy, and I will not do it if I am not happy. As for what position I will hold in the future, it doesn't matter. No matter how high the position is, I may not be able to afford a house in Tomson Yipin."

When Xiao Changkun said this, he actually felt very insecure.

Although the house in Tomson Yipin was indeed very expensive, he knew that this house was not bought with his own money, nor with his son-in-law's money, but was bought by his son-in-law from others based on feng shui.

People always say that those who live in Tomson One are either rich or noble, but Xiao Changkun knows very well that his family is not really rich or noble. They just got here by chance and became the owners.

What he wanted to do now was to establish himself as a wealthy and powerful person in front of President Pei so that he would know that he was not very interested in this job.

President Pei didn't know Xiao Changkun's true depth. After hearing what he said, and thinking that he actually lived in a big villa in Tomson Yipin, he believed what he said 90%.

Then he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Xiao Changkun lives in a villa worth 100 or 200 million yuan, how could he really take a job in the calligraphy and painting association seriously? And I still played tricks on him, damn it!"

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Xiao Changkun: "Changkun, I understand what you mean. It's really unfair for someone like you to be in the Calligraphy and Painting Association. You can choose the Calligraphy and Painting Association, which must be because you really love it. But with your conditions, why should you accompany us old losers to fight..."

As he spoke, he sighed and said very seriously: "Don't worry, Chang Kun, I will do my best to make you happy and cheerful in our calligraphy and painting association in the future, and there will definitely be no more such bullshit!"

Xiao Changkun didn't expect that he could act so well when he just casually pretended to be cool. It seemed that this Tangchen Yipin was indeed very convincing, so he said to President Pei: "President Pei, you have really touched my heart this time. I joined the Calligraphy and Painting Association just for fun, not to make money or to develop. If I am happy, I would be willing to pay even if I don't make any money. If I am not happy, even if you give me double the salary, I will not look down on it."

"Yes, yes, yes." President Pei nodded in agreement and said, "In fact, Chang Kun, I have already seen that you came to the Calligraphy and Painting Association just for fun. With a family background like yours, how could you possibly look down on the trivial things in the Calligraphy and Painting Association."

Then he added, "But Chang Kun, brother, I'm telling you the truth. Sometimes you can't just be so playful. After all, we are an association. If you treat everything as a game, many things will not be rigorous enough. In an association, if you are not rigorous enough, it is easy for others to catch you. Look at what you did with Zhang Ermao this time. I can see that you are also a true person. You are not happy with that Zhou, so you just mess with him for fun. But if this kind of thing is exposed, it will really affect your development in the association."

Xiao Changkun also knew that what President Pei said made sense, and he defined himself as a true character, which made him feel a lot more comfortable, so he nodded and said, "It is true that I was a little impulsive, and I will definitely not make this mistake again in the future."

President Pei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Chang Kun, let's stop here and let it go. In the future, we will still be good friends in the association. I will always keep your affairs in mind. If you don't trust me, then just wait and see my actual actions."

Although Xiao Changkun was still angry and no longer trusted President Pei, he nodded very tactfully and said, "Okay, since President Pei said so, I will definitely believe you."

"Okay!" President Pei said with a smile, "It's quite cold outside. I won't keep you too long. That's all. Just see when it's convenient for you. If you don't have anything to do recently and want to come back to work early, then you can come directly to the association tomorrow morning. I have arranged everything. If you feel that you haven't rested enough and want to rest for a few more days, it's okay. You can rest first. When you want to come, give me a call and I will arrange it."

Xiao Changkun was almost going insane from being idle these days in the UAE. Now that he finally had the chance to return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he didn't want to let this matter drag on, so it would be safer to complete the formalities quickly and secure the position of director.

Thinking of this, Xiao Changkun said, "President Pei, I went out to play for so many days some time ago, and I have had enough rest. I will report to the association tomorrow."

President Pei said happily: "Okay! It would be best if you report tomorrow. Let's quickly settle this matter."

"Okay." Xiao Changkun said, "Then let's meet at the association tomorrow morning. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest early."

"Okay!" President Pei nodded and said, "Then it's settled! See you tomorrow!"

The two said goodbye at the gate of the community. Xiao Changkun turned around and walked home happily. President Pei was also happy. He returned to the car with a sense of relief. As soon as he got in the car, he said to his wife: "It's done! Xiao Changkun agreed to go back and will be back tomorrow!"

Huang Qiuyun also breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "That's great. Now I feel relieved."

After that, Huang Qiuyun continued, "Hubby, I've thought about this matter carefully. You have a chance to get promoted. This chance lies with Xiao Changkun. As long as you can get back on good terms with him, you will definitely have another chance in the future."

President Pei sighed and said, "Hey, I won't think about these things for now. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Let's take care of these things first. When Xiao Changkun comes back tomorrow, the people below will probably gossip again. They dare not say it openly, but I don't know how they will ridicule me behind my back!"
