Chapter 3104

Xiao Changkun, whose emotions and mentality collapsed, finally got off the plane crying and took a taxi to the hotel crying.

Ma Lan, who had been lying flat in the luxury hotel for a day and a night, was stunned when she saw Xiao Changkun crying and swiping his card into the room like a child.

It was Xiao Changkun who, upon seeing Ma Lan, seemed to have found a psychological sustenance, threw himself into Ma Lan's arms crying, and wailed: "Wife... that Pei guy played me... I have nothing now..."

Ma Lan was a little stunned by Xiao Changkun's action of throwing himself into her arms and crying, and then she hurriedly patted his back to comfort him: "Don't cry, husband, isn't it just a bullshit Calligraphy and Painting Association? We don't look down on it! Listen to me, we won't go in the future!"

Xiao Changkun cried and said: "But I look down on it, I want to go..."

Ma Lan was annoyed. The hand that was patting Xiao Changkun's back to comfort him slid to his waist, and while he wasn't paying attention, she gave him a hard pinch on his waist.

"Ouch!" Xiao Changkun screamed in pain, and asked angrily and aggrieved: "Why are you pinching me?!"

"Nonsense!" Ma Lan scolded with a cold face: "I kindly comforted you, but you turned around and sang against me. Then you go cry by yourself!"

Xiao Changkun was even more aggrieved and asked her back: "You just comforted me once, can't you comfort me a little more?"

Ma Lan waved her hand: "Just that one sentence, not a bit more."

After finishing, she said with a look of contempt: "Xiao Changkun, look at you, you are over fifty, you can't even take this little blow. I'm ashamed to say it! Do you know what kind of life I lived in Bedford Hills? Do you know how I carried it down?"

Xiao Changkun asked her subconsciously: "How did you carry it down?"

Ma Lan glanced at him and said: "I don't even want to tell you! You shameful thing!"

Xiao Changkun was even more depressed, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm so miserable, and you still scold me!"

Ma Lan said: "So what if I scold you? Scolding you is what you deserve! Let me tell you, Xiao Changkun, we are here for our honeymoon this time. I won't say anything about you throwing me here and running away for a day and a night. From now on, if you can turn the page, we will play well here; if you have to hang that dead-mother face wherever you go, then you hurry up and book the earliest plane ticket and roll back yourself!"

Seeing that Ma Lan was not joking with him, Xiao Changkun sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, okay, can I turn the page?"

Ma Lan nodded: "That's about it!"

Xiao Changkun didn't say anything more, but he was even more depressed in his heart. He had never stepped into such a big chain pit in his life, and he couldn't digest it for a while, but at this moment he could only break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.

At this very moment, Ye Chen was driving to the downstairs of Xiao Churan's company, waiting to pick her up from work.

Han Meiqing suddenly called him, and asked as soon as she opened her mouth: "Ye Chen, how is your father-in-law? I sent him a WeChat message and he didn't reply. Is he okay?"

Ye Chen said: "I don't know, my father-in-law and mother-in-law went to Dubai for a trip and haven't returned yet. What's wrong, Auntie Han?"

Han Meiqing said: "I received an announcement from the Calligraphy and Painting Association this afternoon, saying that your father-in-law resigned from the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Although it said that your father-in-law resigned on his own, combined with the matter of the bronze Buddha that went viral before, it feels a bit unlike it. I don't know if he had any conflict within the Calligraphy and Painting Association."

Xiao Changkun's resignation from the Calligraphy and Painting Association made Ye Chen somewhat surprised.

He let Zhang Ermao expose the inside story of the setup before, mainly to give Xiao Changkun a lesson and let him really know the taste of pain.

However, in his expectation, although Xiao Changkun lost money and face this time, President Pei of the Calligraphy and Painting Association would at least keep an unimportant position for him, letting him have something to do. But he didn't expect the Calligraphy and Painting Association to suddenly announce his resignation, which was indeed something he didn't expect.

So he said to Han Meiqing: "Auntie Han, my father-in-law didn't mention this to me. If you hadn't called, I wouldn't have known he had resigned."

Han Meiqing sighed: "With your father-in-law's personality and his importance to the Calligraphy and Painting Association, no matter what the reason for his resignation this time, whether he is active or passive, I guess he won't be able to accept it for a while. I'm not good at asking him, and I'm not good at persuading him. You try to pay attention to him, don't let his psychology have any more conditions."

Although Han Meiqing no longer has that feeling for Xiao Changkun, she is a classmate and old friend for many years, so she still cares about him in her heart. Calling Ye Chen is also afraid that Xiao Changkun can't bear such a big blow.

Ye Chen was confused. President Pei shouldn't have kicked Xiao Changkun out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. After all, keeping Xiao Changkun is equivalent to keeping the line of Master Hong Wu and Tianxiang Mansion, and the use is still very great. By comparison, slightly bearing some pressure to demote Xiao Changkun and deal with it is actually not a difficult thing at all.

Moreover, Ye Chen didn't want Xiao Changkun to be kicked out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. He and Ma Lan often quarrel and bicker. If he is idle at home, the family might be jumping around all day.

However, he didn't think too deeply, but said to Han Meiqing: "Auntie Han, don't worry, I will find a way to ask sideways. You know he loves face. If he doesn't tell me, I'm not good at asking directly."

"That's true." Han Meiqing sighed and added: "But since he is traveling abroad, I think he should be better. When he plays, he won't be so annoyed."

After speaking, she said to Ye Chen: "Alright, Ye Chen, try to pay attention to this matter. Auntie has another matter to consult your opinion."

Ye Chen said: "Auntie Han, please tell me."

Han Meiqing said: "Your Uncle He said that you are the witness of our wedding, so he wants to invite you to have a meal the day before the wedding. Paul and Zhiqiu will be together. I don't know if it's convenient for you?"

"Convenient." Ye Chen agreed without thinking, "Just tell me the time and place Uncle He set, and I will be there on time."

"Okay." Han Meiqing smiled: "Then Auntie won't bother you."

"Goodbye, Auntie Han."

Just after Ye Chen hung up Han Meiqing's call, Hong Wu called immediately.

Ye Chen pressed to answer, and Hong Wu said nervously: "Master Ye, let me tell you something, I might have used too much force..."

Ye Chen asked back: "What used too much force?"

Hong Wu said: "Oh, it's about your father-in-law. Didn't you ask me to leave him alone for a while? I didn't give him a good face. He called me and said he wanted to book a private room in Tianxiang Mansion, and I refused him."

Ye Chen said: "Isn't this a matter of no importance? He set up that kind of thing with Zhang Ermao. You are Zhang Ermao's boss. It is reasonable to be dissatisfied with him, and it is normal to refuse him."

Hong Wu said quickly: "Oh, Master Ye, I also thought this attitude should be handled well, but their President Pei called me, and I didn't give him a good face either. He told me that he would try his best to keep a vice president position for your father-in-law, and I retorted him, saying what does this have to do with me. I didn't think much at the time and hung up the phone directly. As a result, I heard from Zhang Ermao just now that your father-in-law resigned from the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so I guess that the reason why President Pei didn't protect your father-in-law is related to my attitude on the phone..."

"Oh..." Ye Chen realized suddenly: "No wonder, I was curious why President Pei kicked Xiao Changkun out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association at this time. It turns out he felt that my father-in-law had no backing and lost his utility value."

Hong Wu asked depressedly: "Master Ye, I really didn't expect that a casual remark would lead to such a trend. So I called you to ask your meaning, to see if I should mention it to President Pei again?"

Ye Chen thought for a while and said: "No need for now. I guess my father-in-law is in the darkest moment of his life now. Let him stay in the dark for a while. Maybe he can forge a pair of eyes looking for light in the dark. After he returns from Dubai, I will find a way to let him return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association. To tell you the truth, I hate not being able to stuff my mother-in-law into any association to mix days, so that I can be quiet at home. If my father-in-law is idle at home again, the family will definitely be jumping around all day."

Hong Wu asked busily: "Then do you want me to do some work in advance? I have President Pei's phone number. If you think the time is almost up, tell me, and I will greet that Pei guy immediately."

Ye Chen said: "Forget it, don't greet that Pei guy. Before Old Chen was arranged to go to Yanjing to take over the position of Butler Tang, did he hand over the relationship he had in Jin Ling city to you?"

After Tang Sihai disappeared, Ye Chen promoted Chen Zekai to the position of head butler of the Ye family. His original spokesperson status in Jin Ling was given to Hong Wu. Thinking about it, with Chen Zekai's style of doing things, he should have handed over all his resources in the city and even the province to Hong Wu.

Hong Wu said busily: "Handed over. Before President Chen went to Yanjing, he took me to pair up all the relationships in the city and the province."

Ye Chen said: "Good, you find the person in charge of various cultural associations in the province, see if you can figure out where President Pei wants to be promoted next, and after figuring it out, cut off his promotion channel."

Don't look at the Calligraphy and Painting Association as just a mass organization group. In fact, looking at the whole of China, the nature of literary and artistic groups is about the same. However, the larger the scale and level of non-governmental groups, the higher their right to speak and social status.

If a person can hold an important position in a large association, his own level is also very high. This can also be considered another way to find a different path, just like most people take the normal route in the college entrance examination, while a small number of people take the art and sports route.

President Pei has been planning to go one step further, but this person's character doesn't seem to be very good now. Before, in order to cater to Xiao Changkun, he ignored all objections and brought this amateur enthusiast with limited level to the height of executive vice president. The two were inseparable all day, as good as brothers.

Now, Xiao Changkun caused a scandal, and Hong Wu just expressed a little indifference, and President Pei immediately kicked someone when they were down and drew a line with Xiao Changkun. This move is indeed not kind.

Instead of this, it is better to press him firmly in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and then find an opportunity for Xiao Changkun to return later, and the two will continue to be difficult brothers, and neither will dislike the other.
