Chapter: 3191

Then, the whole family sat quietly together chatting about trivial matters.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Changkun each talked about their work situations.

Although Xiao Yu has been very busy recently, she felt an unusual sense of fulfillment.

She had worked for so many years before but was always stuck at Shao Group under the watchful eye of Old Madame. Not only did she have to deal with pressure from Shao Haolong and Shao Weiwei, but also couldn't showcase her skills and abilities.

After starting her own business, she naturally wiped away the previous gloominess, and since the beginning of her entrepreneurship, she had received a lot of resources and help from Tai Huang Group. She now gradually found the sense of success in her career every day, feeling very fulfilling and accomplished.

As for Xiao Changkun, he recently made some progress at the Calligraphy Association.

He has already become a permanent vice president at the Calligraphy Association, a standard deputy, and has gained some fame and influence within the small circle.

He enthusiastically told his family, "Lately, our city has been actively building its image as a historical and cultural city. The government has allocated a lot of funds to support the cultural sector, which is why we at the Calligraphy Association have recently received a significant amount of subsidies from local governments. From now on, things will only get better!"

"It's not just because of the government's subsidies that our calligraphy association has changed from being an amateur group driven by personal interest to a semi-public and semi-private non-profit organization!" He added.

"What's more, the special subsidy provided by the government also gives all full-time staff at the Calligraphy Association a decent salary package. From now on, I'll be one of those with a fixed salary at the association," he said.

At this point, Ma Ran curiously asked, "Hey, is your calligraphy association starting to pay you wages now?"

Xiao Changkun smiled proudly and said, "Not just that, but we're getting a decent amount too!"

"Ma Ran quickly asked, 'Can you also make money by cooperating with private enterprises?'"

"Of course!" Xiao Changkun immediately said. "Private enterprises themselves provide sponsorship, and we'll get some expenses and consulting fees for each event. According to Pu Weilong's calculation, if I attend two events a week and participate fully, I can earn around 3,000 to 5,000 yuan per event."

"Wow!" Ma Ran exclaimed in surprise. "You can make that much money from one event?! If we do two events a week, that's eight events a month! With a fixed salary, wouldn't that be around 20,000 yuan or more?"

"Yes," Xiao Changkun nodded and smiled. "I used to wonder why so many people like to volunteer for various organizations without expecting any returns. I thought they were just doing it to gain reputation and fame. But now I understand that there are many opportunities here, and we can even make a good income."

Ma Ran's eyes lit up as she looked at Xiao Changkun with a hint of flattery in her tone. "Changkun, when my leg is better, can you bring me into the Calligraphy Association too? You can arrange any job for me and give me a salary. If there are events, I can attend them with you."

As she said this, Ma Ran patted her right leg, sighing in frustration. "Ugh, it's been half a year since my accident, and I've just been stuck at home taking care of my leg. It's really driving me crazy."

Xiao Changkun was taken aback, speaking quickly to calm her down. "Ah, don't even think about joining the Calligraphy Association right now! We're not accepting new members anyway. There are already dozens of people waiting in line for the interview and debate. You don't have any understanding of calligraphy, and I'm telling you, it's better just to stay at home instead. Just take your time and recover, then go out and travel around."

Xiao Changkun thought to himself that he should not have said this, as Ma Ran would surely get upset. But he knew he had to calm her down.

Despite his attempt to soothe her, Ma Ran was still dissatisfied, speaking coldly. "What? You're looking down on me? You, Xiao Changkun, can become the associate vice president of the Calligraphy Association, but I'm not even qualified to join as a member? Don't think that I don't know how you got that position - it's all because of my good daughter-in-law's influence. If it weren't for her, you would have been kicked out long ago, and even the dog guarding the Calligraphy Association's door wouldn't qualify to be your vice president!"

Xiao Changkun's face suddenly turned red, and he thought to himself: "Ma Ran's words are indeed true. I almost got kicked out initially, but thanks to Yè Chén's help at Tianxiang Fu, Pei Huilong even praised me in front of Hong Wujia afterwards, which led me to become the associate vice president of the Calligraphy Association. It's just that Ma Ran speaks too harshly, what about the dog guarding the door of the Calligraphy Association being the vice president?"

Just as he was thinking, Ma Ran saw him not responding and immediately spoke up: "If you're unwilling to help me, I'll let my good son-in-law help out. Who knows, maybe I can even get a vice president position later on, and we two will be a couple of husband-wife team, spreading our reputation far and wide!"

Xiao Changkun's jaw muscles almost lost control.

He knew Yè Chén's abilities, and if Yè Chén really spoke up, it would not be difficult for Ma Ran to get a vice president position. JrNovels.com
