Chapter 3140: Secure in the bag

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

He had waited for so long just for this sentence from Xiao Changkun. As long as Xiao Changkun expressed his attitude that he was willing to go back, he would have passed this hurdle.

As for whether he could be promoted in the future, he didn't dare to hope anymore. Now that he could safely keep his position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he was already very satisfied.

Thus, he excitedly held Xiao Changkun's hand and said with emotion: "Great, Changkun! After you come back, we two brothers will still fight side by side. Don't worry, I will definitely find an opportunity and think of a way to promote you bit by bit."

Xiao Changkun had already lost his basic trust in him, so he said coldly: "Whether I'm promoted or not, let's not talk about it for now."

Having said that, Xiao Changkun deliberately put on airs for himself, pointed to the magnificent gate of Tomson Riviera behind him, and sighed: "Sigh, actually, it can be seen that with my family situation and my age, there is really no need to work hard. The reason why I work at the Calligraphy and Painting Association is indeed because I like it. If I do this job happily, I'll do it. If I don't do it happily, I won't do it. As for what position I will have in the future, it doesn't matter. Even if the position is high, it might not be able to afford a house in Tomson Riviera."

When Xiao Changkun said these words, he actually had no confidence in his heart.

Don't look at the fact that the house in Tomson Riviera is indeed very expensive, but he knew that this house was not bought with his own money, nor was it bought with his son-in-law's money, but was obtained by his son-in-law from others by bluffing about Feng Shui.

People always say that those who live in Tomson Riviera are either rich or noble, but Xiao Changkun knew very well that his family was really not a very rich or noble family, but just happened to mix in here by chance and became an owner here.

And now what he wanted to do was to establish his persona of being rich and noble 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. Hearing him say this, and thinking that he did live in a large villa in Tomson Riviera, he believed 90% of what he said.

Then he couldn't help but slander in his heart: "Xiao Changkun lives in a villa worth one or two hundred million, how could he really take a job at the Calligraphy and Painting Association seriously? And I even played this trick on him. It's truly damnable!"

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Xiao Changkun: "Changkun, I understand what you mean. It's truly wronging you for a person like you to be in the Calligraphy and Painting Association. You can choose the Calligraphy and Painting Association, it must be true love. But with your conditions, why bother accompanying us old losers to raise dust..."

As he spoke, he sighed and said very seriously: "Changkun, don't worry. In the future, I will definitely do my best to make you happy and joyful in our Calligraphy and Painting Association. There will definitely be no more of these damn things!"

Xiao Changkun didn't expect that he would just put on airs and it would actually work. It seems that Tomson Riviera is indeed very convincing. So he said to President Pei: "President Pei, you hit the nail on the head this time. I went to the Calligraphy and Painting Association just for fun, not for money or development. If I'm happy, I'm willing to pay even if I don't make money. If I'm not happy, even if you give me double the salary, I won't look at it."

"Yes, yes, yes." President Pei nodded repeatedly in agreement and said: "Actually, Changkun, I saw it a long time ago. You came to the Calligraphy and Painting Association just to play. With your family conditions, how could you look at the little money of the Calligraphy and Painting Association."

As he spoke, he added: "However, Changkun, let me tell you the truth. Sometimes you can't just have this mentality of playing. After all, we are an association. If you treat everything as play, many things will not be rigorous enough. In the association, once you are not rigorous enough, it is easy for people to catch your pigtail. Look at the thing you did with Zhang Ermao this time. I can see that you are also true-hearted. If you are unhappy with that guy surnamed Zhou, you just play with him. But once this kind of thing is exposed, it will indeed affect your development in the association."

Xiao Changkun also knew that what President Pei said made sense, and he defined himself as true-hearted, which made him feel much more comfortable, so he nodded and said: "The matter was indeed a bit impulsive on my part. I definitely won't make such a mistake again in the future."

President Pei patted him on the shoulder and said: "Changkun, let's stop here for the previous matter and turn the page. In the future, in the association, we two brothers will still be good friends. I will definitely keep your affairs in mind at all times. If you don't trust me, then just wait and see my actual actions."

Although Xiao Changkun still had anger in his heart and no longer trusted President Pei, he still nodded very sensibly and said: "Good. Since you said so, President Pei, then I definitely trust you."

"Good!" President Pei said with a smile: "It's quite cold outside, so I won't delay you for too long. That's it. You see when it's convenient for you. If you have nothing 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 you haven't rested enough and want to rest for a few more days, it doesn't matter. You rest first. Call me when you want to come, and I will arrange it."

Xiao Changkun had almost gone crazy from idleness in the UAE these days. It was hard to have a chance to return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association. He didn't want to let this matter have long nights and many dreams. It was safer to handle the procedures quickly and get this director position secure in the bag.

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

President Pei said happily: "Great! Reporting tomorrow is the best. Let's settle this matter quickly."

"Good." Xiao Changkun said: "Then see you at the association tomorrow morning. It's getting late, you go back and rest early too."

"Fine!" President Pei nodded and said: "Then it's settled! See you tomorrow!"

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

Huang Qiuyun also breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion: "Great, the stone in my heart has finally fallen."

Having said that, Huang Qiuyun added: "Husband, actually I thought about this matter carefully. It's not that you have no chance to be promoted. This opportunity lies in Xiao Changkun. As long as you can get along with him again, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

President Pei sighed and said: "Sigh, I don't want to think about these for now. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Let's take care of the things in front of us first. Xiao Changkun will be back tomorrow, and the people below will probably gossip again. They won't dare to say it openly, but I don't know how they will mock me behind my back!" ===== CHAPTER 3141 =====
