Chapter 3195 Dad’s career depends on you

Whenever Xiao Churan heard that Ye Chen was going out to work for a long time, she would feel distressed, especially when she heard that he was going to the remote northwestern border again. So she couldn't help but whispered to Ye Chen: "Husband, why don't you not go... We are not short of money now, so we don't have to work so hard..."

Before Ye Chen could say anything, Hong Wu on the side pleaded devoutly: "Master Ye, you must help me with this matter! My elder brother saved my life back then. It's not easy for me to do something for him. Please don't refuse for the sake of our long-term friendship. As long as you help him solve the problem this time, you can tell me anything in Jinling in the future. If I, Hong Wu, blink, I will be struck by lightning!"

When Xiao Changkun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!

He had always thought that President Pei kicked him out of the calligraphy and painting association because he realized that the relationship between him and Hong Wu was no longer as close as before. How polite was Hong Wu to him before? When President Pei went to dinner, he could not get into the diamond box no matter how hard he tried. But Hong Wu took the initiative to give him the diamond box and even gave him a free meal. Just that one time, President Pei was completely convinced.

Why did President Pei not obey later? I am afraid it was because he felt that his influence in front of Hong Wu was not big enough.

The reason why he was able to return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association this time was because his son-in-law Ye Chen had gained favor with Hong Wu. Hong Wu had helped, and President Pei was forced to bring him back under pressure.

Therefore, in Xiao Changkun's view, letting Hong Wu continue to owe favors to his son-in-law Ye Chen is the guarantee that he can stay in the Calligraphy and Painting Association and get better and better.

So, he took the initiative to say, "Churan, women shouldn't interfere in matters between men. Mr. Hong has always been very kind to our family. When we needed his help, he never said no. Now that he needs our help, how can we be afraid of hardship and fatigue? What's more, Mr. Hong has also said that the client will pay a huge reward, so we should not refuse!"

Seeing her father's anxious face, Xiao Churan suddenly realized the fundamental reason why her father said that. This time, he was able to return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association thanks to Hong Wu's help. Theoretically speaking, her husband Ye Chen owed Hong Wu a favor just a few days ago. According to the basic logic of a society based on favors, now is the time to repay the favor.

For a moment, Xiao Churan didn't know how to start.

It was Ye Chen who broke the silence and said directly, "Mr. Hong, I owe you your help to my father-in-law last time. This time you need my help, so I can't just sit there and watch. How about this, give me two days to prepare, and I'll go over there in two days."

Hong Wu immediately said excitedly: "That's great, Master Ye! I am completely relieved with your words. There is no Feng Shui problem in this world that Master Ye can't solve! I will call my big brother tonight and tell him the good news!"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Since I have agreed to go, I will naturally do my best to get things done."

Hong Wu looked very happy. He stood up and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Master Ye. It's so late, I won't bother you any more. Bye! Thank you very much!"

Xiao Changkun hurriedly said, "Hey, Mr. Hong, why don't we have a cup of tea together before we leave! You finally came home, you can't just leave without even a cup of tea."

Hong Wu hurriedly said, "No more drinking, no more drinking. I'm sorry to bother you so much at this late hour."

Xiao Changkun had his own ideas at this time, so he pulled Hong Wu's sleeve with one hand and quickly took out a teacup with the other hand. Although the tea was a little cold, he still poured a cup for Hong Wu and handed it to Hong Wu. Then he quickly picked up his own teacup as well, freeing up one hand, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, unlocked it with one hand, and turned on the camera.

With a series of smooth movements, he turned on the selfie mode of the front camera. Then, holding a teacup in his other hand, he said to Hong Wu, "Come on, Master Wu, let's clink glasses. I'll take a picture as a souvenir!"

Hong Wu naturally knew her little thoughts, but he was Ye Chen's father-in-law after all, so he could only nod in cooperation and clink glasses with Xiao Changkun. In order to give him enough face, he put his other hand around his shoulders and smiled at the camera at the same time.

Click.

Xiao Changkun captured the moment when he and Hong Wu clinked glasses and smiled. In the photo, they were arm in arm, toasting each other, and looked like two old friends getting together.

So, Xiao Changkun put away his phone contentedly and said to Hong Wu, "Master Wu, please come to my house often when you have nothing to do. I have plenty of good tea and wine here."

"Okay, okay, I'll come often in the future." Hong Wu nodded and readily agreed. Then he put down his teacup and said to everyone, "Okay, everyone. I won't bother you any more."

Xiao Changkun hurriedly said, "Come on, come on, Fifth Master, I'll take you out."

Xiao Changkun sent Hong Wu to the door. After Hong Wu left, he turned back to his yard and did not rush in. Instead, he quickly picked up his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and edited a circle of friends.

He chose the photo he had taken with Hong Wu, and then edited a paragraph of text: It’s so nice to have good friends come to my house to drink tea and chat!

Then, press Send.

At this time, President Pei was complaining to his wife at home.

After what he did to Xiao Changkun, his own path to success was completely blocked. For this, he had always felt resentful towards his wife who had given him the advice.

Although my wife later tried to atone for her mistakes by trying to remedy the situation, the result showed that her mistakes outweighed her merits.

Therefore, President Pei would complain to his wife almost every day to relieve his depression and unhappiness. His wife also knew that she had given him a bad idea and caused irreparable losses, so whenever President Pei complained, she could only bear it silently.

Chairman Pei kept mumbling about the past while scrolling through his Moments idly. Suddenly, he saw a Moments post that Xiao Changkun had just posted. When he saw that Hong Wu had actually gone to Xiao Changkun's house and took a photo with Xiao Changkun, he immediately became furious. He threw his phone on the coffee table and started scolding his wife, "You spendthrift woman, you always said that Xiao Changkun was no good and that Master Hong Wu didn't care whether he lived or died. Look at you now. Hong Wu has taken the initiative to go to Xiao Changkun's house for tea. The two of them are as close as if they were born from the same mother! You are really blind!"

The wife was suddenly scolded, and naturally she felt aggrieved, but she didn't care about fighting back. She quickly picked up President Pei's phone and took a look. After taking a look, she really regretted it and couldn't help sighing: "I was still naive. I thought only men and women would occasionally have cold wars and sulks, good today and bad tomorrow. I didn't expect that men and men were the same. At that time, Master Hong Wu told you not to care about Xiao Changkun's affairs. I guess he said it in anger. I thought they must have broken up completely, but I never expected that they were like lovers, quarreling at the head of the bed and making up at the foot of the bed. Once they make up, we will be in trouble..."

When President Pei saw that she took the initiative to honestly point out her mistakes, he felt much less angry.

Sometimes people are like this. Even though they feel a lot of dissatisfaction or even grievance towards the other party in their hearts, as long as the other party can take the initiative to admit their mistakes and reflect on them, most of the anger will be eliminated.

What I am afraid of is the kind of people who know they have made a mistake but still insist on being stubborn, saying "I am not wrong, why did I do anything wrong, it is others who are wrong, it is the world that is wrong". Once you encounter such a person, a spark of anger will turn into a volcanic eruption.

Chairman Pei, who had calmed down, looked at his wife and said seriously, "You are right. We were misled by this assumption at the time. We all thought that since Master Hong Wu was angry, we didn't need to work hard to protect Xiao Changkun. But we ignored that his anger was only temporary. In fact, if Master Hong Wu was dissatisfied with Xiao Changkun at that time, I would still try my best to protect him. Now, in addition to the gratitude they deserve, Xiao Changkun and Master Hong Wu may look at me more highly."

The wife nodded and sighed, "It has always been like this. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is rare to send charcoal in the snow. We have learned a lesson this time. In the future, we must try every means to win over Xiao Changkun. Sincerity can move mountains and open rocks. Sooner or later, he will let go of his estrangement towards us. At that time, maybe he can ask Master Hong Wu to help you move up to the next level!"

"You're right!" President Pei nodded heavily and said seriously: "Whether I can go to the next level depends entirely on Xiao Changkun!"

……

At the same time, Tomson Yipin.

Xiao Churan knew that since Ye Chen agreed to Hong Wu's request, it meant that Ye Chen would be away from home for at least ten days or half a month, so she said to Ye Chen: "Husband, let's go shopping tomorrow and buy you some new clothes. It's already very cold here, and it's probably even colder in the northwest. I have to buy you two thick down jackets."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "My dear wife, you don't have to buy me thick clothes. When I get there, I will just buy a green work coat. There must be a lot of them in the mines. No matter which country the down jacket is imported from, it is not as warm and solid as this one."

Xiao Churan said, "You go to the mountains to read Feng Shui for others, so you have to climb mountains and wade through water. It's already very cold there, and it will be even colder up the mountain. And the colder it is, the lighter the equipment you wear should be!"

Ye Chen waved his hand: "Wife, don't worry about my physical fitness. I won't be tired or frozen. Besides, I have to prepare some things for Feng Shui tomorrow. After all, I will leave the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be too late to go shopping for clothes."

Xiao Churan said: "It doesn't matter, just go ahead and do your thing, I'll go buy it for you."

Xiao Changkun, who was standing by, was excited as he watched his circle of friends being liked by a large number of friends. When he saw that President Pei not only liked his post but also sent more than a dozen thumbs-up emojis, he was overjoyed and quickly echoed Xiao Churan and said to Ye Chen, "That's right, good son-in-law, you just do your thing and let Churan buy it for you."

As he spoke, he said with great emotion: "Good son-in-law, it seems that Master Hong Wu still gives you face. If you get along well with Master Hong Wu, my chances of returning to the position of executive vice president in the future will be much greater. Dad's career depends on you!"
