Chapter: 3862

After finishing dinner, before parting ways, Shao Changkun couldn't help but ask Fei Ke Xin: "Miss Zhang, are you certain that you need to check on the feng shui and decoration? If so, I'll go home and tell my son-in-law about it."

"Definitely!" Fei Ke Xin smiled and nodded her head seriously. "So, Mr. Shao, please help me schedule a meeting with your son-in-law, allowing him to have some time to help me inspect the feng shui of this property. If everything checks out fine, I'll then discuss the decoration requirements with your daughter; but if there are many issues with the feng shui, I might just look for another place - it's only a few million yuan after all."

Fei Ke Xin didn't deliberately flaunt or brag, buying a luxurious villa worth tens of millions in Jinling as if she had finally reached the pinnacle. To her, it was like an ordinary person buying souvenirs at a tourist spot - a carefree decision.

Moreover, Fei Ke Xin didn't want to be alone with Ye Chen when his wife was around; it would be better to separate them first, even if it meant taking a detour through his wife's side of things.

Shao Changkun also found that what Fei Ke Xin said made perfect sense - check the feng shui first and then decide on decoration. This logic was reasonable and convincing, making him nod in agreement.

So, he smiled and said: "Alright, alright! I'll go home and tell my son-in-law about it."

Fei Ke Xin quickly nodded her head and handed Shao Changkun a business card, smiling: "Mr. Shao, this is my business card. If everything checks out fine with your son-in-law, please have him contact me."

Shao Changkun's mood was quite good as he returned home, parked his car, and walked in whistling a tune.

Ye Chen, Shao Chu Ran, and Ma Lan Gang had just finished dinner when they saw Shao Changkun come in. Ma Lan Gang immediately called out to him: "Shao Changkun, please clear the dining table!"

Shao Changkun's whole person was taken aback, with a dark face saying: "You three eat, why do I have to clean up? Why don't you clean up instead?"

Ma Lan Gang gave him a stern look and scolded: "You went out so late without coming back, and now you expect me to take care of the household chores? You're really something!"

As he spoke, Ma Lan Gang's face turned gloomy and he muttered: "One day, every day, just messing around in some doggone association. There's no point to it. You don't even bring back a few hundred thousand yuan. What's the use of being so useless? And you're so low-level that outsiders can't tell, but I still know. That old phrase 'to fake one's accomplishments' is your true reflection. It's just what you do when representing Jinling to go to Korea for cultural exchange. You're just wasting your time and burning incense!"

Ma Lan Gang had been feeling a bit down lately.

The main reason was that last time Shao Changkun told her he wanted to go to Korea for cultural exchange, which made Ma Lan Gang feel a bit jealous and inferior.

After all these years of marriage, she has always criticized Shao Changkun. After all, Shao Changkun did nothing but fail in his endeavors at home, so Ma Lan Gang would criticize him at any time, no matter what.

It was also because Shao Changkun had never accomplished anything throughout his life that gave Ma Lan Gang the courage to keep criticizing and mocking him.

But Ma Lan Gang couldn't have thought that Shao Changkun, who seemed aimless and useless for half a lifetime, would suddenly bloom into a second spring when he grew old.

After all the years of criticizing Shao Changkun, Ma Lan Gang would actually be very clear about his importance. Such high-ranking officials in cultural organizations have a unique aura around them that even local leaders need to give them some face.

However, Ma Lan Gang had been deliberately belittling Shao Changkun for a lifetime, so she couldn't let him surpass herself at this time, hence she would intentionally mock him.

Shao Changkun was originally quite annoyed by Ma Lan Gang's mockery and was about to retort, but when he heard her say that he was good for nothing, he suddenly felt his lowly and sensitive inner self struck a chord.

Today, in front of He Yuan Jiang, Shao Changkun felt the same way.

He also realized clearly that he didn't have any real abilities; he only managed to get to the vice chairman position through sheer luck. But being ridiculed by Ma Lan Gang still hurt his pride, and he immediately retorted: "Do you think I'm just a beggar on this seat? Not only can I broaden my horizons here, but I can also strengthen my connections!"

He added, "By the way, I met someone from overseas today who's a billionaire! He's willing to donate valuable artworks worth millions of yuan to our association and even sponsor 5 million yuan for our upcoming exhibition in Nanjing!"

Ma Lan Gang smirked: "Blowing hot air? According to you, someone just donated 1 billion yuan to our art association? I don't believe anyone would waste their time and money like that!"

Shao Changkun blurted out: "What do you know?! There are plenty of rich people in this world, many billionaires donate to various organizations; what's the big deal about donating some money in the cultural field?" JrNovels.com
