Chapter 3102

Xiao Changkun, who had sent the email, didn't know that this email would become the key to his leaving the Calligraphy and Painting Association.

He didn't sleep well in the dilapidated budget hotel that night, and rushed to the airport early the next morning with two dark circles under his eyes.

Security check, exit, boarding, everything went very smoothly. At ten o'clock in the morning, the plane he took had already taken off from Jin Ling Airport and headed straight for Dubai.

At this very moment, in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, several vice presidents had already arrived at President Pei's office.

These people all had a common goal, which was to put pressure on President Pei, saying that no matter what, Xiao Changkun must be kicked out of the association.

Of course, these people also understood in their hearts that Xiao Changkun had some connections in society and had a deep friendship with Master Hong Wu, so President Pei would likely protect him out of face.

And these people also knew clearly that if President Pei really wanted to protect him, they certainly couldn't insist on it, because it would be easy to reach Xiao Changkun's ears and be hated by him.

Several people came to President Pei's office, the door closed, and one of them couldn't help but ask him: "President, what is your plan for Vice President Xiao's matter?"

President Pei said: "I asked you to come over, isn't it just to discuss it with you? See what you mean."

"Us?" Several people looked at each other, and one of them said: "I think this matter has a bad influence. Now the outside world is watching our association. If we can't handle it properly, it will definitely leave a handle for others, making people feel that our association is shielding shortcomings."

Another person also nodded and echoed: "I think Old Liu is right. The circle is so small, everyone's eyes are watching us."

President Pei said: "Since everyone is discussing this matter behind closed doors, you don't have to be vague here. Do you want the association to deal with Vice President Xiao?"

Several people looked at me and I looked at you, and finally the vice president who had the best chance to succeed Xiao Changkun said: "That's right, the influence of this matter is so bad, he must be dealt with to a certain extent."

As he spoke, he tested: "In my opinion, how can we take down his vice president position?"

Another person couldn't help but say: "Xiao Changkun has already sent a resignation email himself, so why don't we just follow his resignation request and agree to his resignation?"

The third person looked at President Pei and said: "Then this matter mainly depends on our President Pei's meaning. If President Pei feels that Vice President Xiao's matter is not serious, he can also lobby to find a way to keep Vice President Xiao."

President Pei hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This matter is our association's matter. Don't pull it to me personally. Otherwise, if it spreads out, everyone will feel that I am shielding Vice President Xiao. How will I face everyone in the future?"

That person smiled and said somewhat embarrassedly: "President Pei, I don't mean anything else, I just simply don't want you to be difficult to do at that time."

President Pei asked him: "Then how do you think it is best and fairest to handle it?"

That person didn't even think about it, and subconsciously said: "Fairness must be a vote by everyone together. There is nothing fairer than this."

The other people also echoed one after another.

Under such circumstances, no one wanted to be the key person to open his mouth to drive Xiao Changkun away.

But without exception, they all wanted Xiao Changkun to get out.

Under such circumstances, no matter who they asked, they would definitely feel that everyone voting together, sharing the voting responsibility together, and being responsible for the voting results together was the most reasonable, and there was no situation of the gun hitting the bird that took the lead.

Most importantly, they all knew that Xiao Changkun had no popularity in the association. Many people complained privately that he had no professional ability, and combined with the relatively serious scandal he caused this time, everyone definitely wanted him to leave the association.

President Pei was waiting for someone to propose a public vote, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Since that's the case, let's not discuss it behind closed doors. Call everyone to the large conference room, everyone will conduct a secret ballot on the spot, I will sing the votes in front of everyone, those who agree with Xiao Changkun staying will write 'Stay' on the slip of paper; those who don't agree with him staying will write 'Go' on the slip of paper, the result of the public singing of votes, whichever is more will be followed."

Everyone was overjoyed and said in unison: "Okay!"

There are not many people in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, a total of more than 20 people, so President Pei made a request to let everyone gather in the conference room at one o'clock in the afternoon.

The reason for choosing one o'clock in the afternoon is because several people are working outside, such as Xiao Wu, who took over Xiao Changkun's teaching at the University for the Elderly, and was notified by the association that he must return to attend the meeting at one o'clock in the afternoon.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone in the association except Xiao Changkun was sitting upright in the large conference room of the association.

President Pei didn't talk nonsense. After everyone arrived, he said directly: "Everyone, today I called everyone together because of some personal problems of our Vice President Xiao Changkun two days ago. The influence of this matter is indeed relatively bad, and last night Vice President Xiao sent me a resignation email again, so after research with several vice presidents, we decided to conduct a public vote of all members within our association to see whether to retain Vice President Xiao's resignation..."

As soon as it was said whether to retain Xiao Changkun, many people exploded instantly.

They were naturally ten thousand unwilling to keep Xiao Changkun.

Seeing everyone talking chaotically, President Pei patted the table and said: "Everyone, be quiet first, listen to me finish."

Everyone gradually quieted down, looking at President Pei, waiting for his next speech.

President Pei cleared his throat and said: "Everyone has a slip of paper in front of them. Next, you will write 'Go' or 'Stay' on that slip of paper. Those who want to retain the vice president will write 'Stay', those who don't want to retain will write 'Go', secret ballot, so everyone doesn't need to write their own name, just write one of the two, 'Go' or 'Stay'. Of course, you can also abstain. Those who write the word 'Abstain' are abstentions;"

"After writing, everyone pass the slip of paper from back to front to me. I will sing the votes publicly, count the results. If there are more people supporting 'Stay', then we will stay; if there are more people supporting 'Go', then we will not stay. If the number of people choosing 'Go' and 'Stay' is the same, then we will choose a compromise method, let Vice President Xiao give up the position of executive vice president."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.

On-site secret ballot, the votes are passed to President Pei on the spot, and the votes are sung on the spot. This is definitely not cheating. Since that's the case, who would support keeping Xiao Changkun?

So, everyone lowered their heads one after another and wrote the word 'Go' on their slips of paper.

President Pei picked up his pen, thought for a long time, wrote the word 'Abstain', then put the pen down, and secretly took a photo of the slip of paper in front of him with his mobile phone.

No matter what, he had left room for himself. If Xiao Changkun came to ask him, he would say that both palms and backs of his hands were meat, so he just cast an abstention vote. The real reason for him to withdraw from the association was those who wrote 'Go', and it had nothing to do with him.

After all the votes were in his hands, President Pei began to sing the votes publicly.

Picked up the first one, opened it, and said loudly: "Go."

Someone immediately made a mark on the blackboard.

Picked up the second one, opened it, and continued to say: "Go!"

After reading 26 "Go"s in one breath, only President Pei's own slip of paper was left. Everyone's face was filled with smiles like the New Year, which made President Pei sigh: "This Xiao Changkun's popularity is really damn bad."

After sighing, he picked up his slip of paper and said loudly: "Abstain."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the blackboard, saying: "26 people chose 'Go', 1 person chose 'Abstain'. It seems that this result is the wish of the people. Since the vast majority of people support agreeing to his resignation request, then let the personnel supervisor reply to Vice President Xiao's resignation email after the meeting, agree to his resignation request, and notify him to come to the association to handle the resignation procedures as soon as possible after returning from Dubai!"

I don't know who took the lead in applauding, so the whole conference room was immersed in deafening applause.

Several vice presidents laughed exceptionally brightly. Xiao Changkun left, everyone not only had one less thorn in their side, but also could move forward, which was naturally a solid good thing.

President Pei was also relieved and said to the personnel supervisor: "By the way, when you reply to Vice President Xiao's email, attach the minutes of our meeting this time."

"Okay!" The personnel supervisor nodded repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, President, I will handle it well."

"OK." President Pei breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said: "Alright, today's meeting ends here, dismissed!"
