Chapter 345 Xiao Changkun's Treat
Just when Song Wanting, Chen Xiaozhao, and Shi Tianqi were sighing over Wu Qi's matter, Ye Chen's father-in-law Xiao Changkun, wearing a suit, happily left home and took a taxi to Tianxiang Mansion.
Because he was going to drink some wine at night, Xiao Changkun left the BMW at home and gave the car keys to Ye Chen, so that Ye Chen could drive to Tianxiang Mansion to pick him up.
Xiao Changkun has no other hobbies these days, but he likes to study antiques and calligraphy and painting, so he joined the Painting and Calligraphy Association.
The reason for the dinner this time is also to be able to get a seat as an executive director of the association.
In order to show his respect for the leaders of the association, he deliberately took the 2 yuan that Ye Chen had transferred to him, and booked a bronze box in Tianxiang Mansion.
Although this is already the worst private room in Tianxiang Mansion, it is much better than most of the restaurants outside.
When Xiao Changkun arrived at Tianxiang Mansion, Hong Wuye was on his way.
The waiter didn't know Xiao Changkun, so he directly led Xiao Changkun to the bronze box he had reserved.
Seeing that the others hadn't arrived yet, Xiao Changkun was not impatient, so he simply sat on his seat and waited patiently for everyone to arrive.
A few minutes later, the door of the box was pushed open, and a middle-aged man about his age stepped in.
After the middle-aged man saw Xiao Changkun, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, you came really early, when did you arrive?"
Xiao Changkun hurriedly said: "Brother Xu, I have been here for a while. I am so honored and excited that the chairman and executive directors are honored to participate in this dinner in my group today, so I rushed here ahead of time, waiting for your arrival .”
The middle-aged man who came was named Xu Wenyuan, and he was an executive director of the Painting and Calligraphy Association.
The usual relationship between him and Xiao Changkun is pretty good, both of them like to mess around with some antique calligraphy and paintings, so they often pick up leaks in the antique street together, and have a good friendship.
When he heard that Xiao Changkun wanted to compete for the position of executive director, he was the first to stand up and support Xiao Changkun.
Moreover, Xiao Changkun hosted a banquet for the leaders of the association today. The reason why they agreed to come over was largely because of Xu Wenyuan's face.
Seeing Xiao Changkun being so polite, Xu Wenyuan laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, you have a heart!"
Xiao Changkun hurriedly made a gesture of invitation and said, "Brother Xu, please sit down!"
Xu Wenyuan was not in a hurry to sit down. Seeing that no one else had come, he reminded in a low voice: "Brother Xiao, I naturally have no objections to you coming to sit on the executive director's seat, but other people in the association, But not necessarily!"
When Xiao Changkun heard this, he felt a little worried, and quickly asked: "Brother Xu, please tell me carefully."
Xu Wenyuan sighed, and said: "The position of executive director, because we can often encounter opportunities to pick up leaks, and it is more authoritative to speak out, so it has always been a fat job. When our executive director goes out to participate in an antique program, he will usually He gave an appearance fee of tens of thousands of dollars, so many people are staring at this position."
Speaking of this, Xu Wenyuan said again: "Let's take Sun Youcai as an example. Recently, I heard that he has been flattering the chairman and other executive directors, and he has given them many gifts in private. Judging from the current situation, he will be your biggest competitor!"
"Sun Youcai?" Xiao Changkun couldn't help frowning, and said, "That's the one, the big bastard who burnt so much money that he doesn't know his last name?"
Xu Wenyuan nodded and said: "So, it's not enough for me alone to support you. When other people come later, you must try your best to win the support of the other standing directors and even the president, so that you can be in the During internal voting, defeat Sun Youcai and become the new executive director, do you understand?"
Xiao Changkun nodded hurriedly, and said sincerely: "Brother Xu, what you said really enlightened me, thank you so much!"
Xu Wenyuan smiled slightly and said, "Why are you being polite to me!"
As he said that, he glanced at the time and said, "The president and the others are coming soon, let's wait at the door of the box, it seems more sincere."
Xiao Changkun nodded again and again, but he didn't dare to sit in his seat anymore. Together with Xu Wenyuan, he walked to the door of the box and stood still, waiting for the leaders and directors of the Painting and Calligraphy Association to appear.
After a while, other members of the Painting and Calligraphy Association arrived one after another.
A hale and hearty old man came to the door of the box surrounded by people around him like stars.
As soon as Xu Wenyuan saw the old man, he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "President!"
Xiao Changkun hurriedly followed and said respectfully: "President Pei, you are here!"
President Pei nodded slightly, pretending to complain and said: "Chang Kun, look at you, how did you make such a big scene? Didn't you say that, we pay attention to keeping things simple at our gatherings. You are just looking for a restaurant and ordering an ordinary restaurant. The location in the lobby is good, why wasteful booking a box in Tianxiang Mansion?"
Although he said so, he even blamed Xiao Changkun for making it too grand, but that was just superficially polite, but he didn't think so in his heart.
If Xiao Changkun really put the dining place in the lobby of another hotel, he would definitely turn around and leave, and he would never have any contact with him in the future.
Xiao Changkun hurriedly said: "Everyone who is here today is a leader, and the leader is here, how dare I be negligent!"
As he spoke, he laughed and said, "Since everyone is here, let's hurry up and take our seats."
President Pei also nodded and said, "Okay, everyone, sit down!"
At this time, a middle-aged man who was following President Pei suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Changkun, you are treating guests to dinner at Tianxiang Mansion, and you only book a bronze box with the worst grade. Are there other executive directors?"
When Xiao Changkun saw the other party, his face suddenly became ugly, and he said: "Sun Youcai, I invited everyone to dinner, but I didn't send you an invitation. Why are you licking your face and following me here? Besides, what does it matter to you what box I book? , is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks here?"
The person in front of him was none other than his biggest competitor for the executive director position, Sun Youcai.
Sun Youcai said contemptuously: "You can't say that. What is the status of our President Pei, and what is the status of these executive directors?"
As he said that, Sun Youcai snorted coldly, and said, "Everyone knows what is the purpose of inviting everyone to dinner today, isn't it just for the position of the executive director? But, you thought you reserved the worst bronze box, Can you get the president and the others to support you? This is too dishonest, this is obviously fooling everyone like bumpkins who have never seen the world!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at the crowd and said with a smile on his face: "A mere bronze box is really not worthy of your identities! In order to show respect for the president and executive directors, I specially booked a gold box upstairs , why don't we just move over to my place!"
