Chapter: 6260
"No problem," Hao Yuanjiang nodded in agreement: "Then I'll write an invitation to Old Xiu. Just write 'Mr. Shou Changkun and his family are invited'."
Han Meiqing nodded: "Okay, that's fine."
Hao Yuanjiang asked again: "After you've written it, how do you plan to give it to him?"
Han Meiqing said: "I'll give it to him. He has a lecture on modern painting at the senior university tomorrow, and I'll bring it along to give it to him."
Han Meiqing thoughtfully brought the invitation written by Hao Yuanjiang for Xiao Changkun, but didn't see him at the lecture. So she waited until the substitute teacher finished his lesson and approached him, asking, "Hello, I wonder why Vice President Xiao didn't come today?"
The substitute teacher replied, "Vice President Xiao has been quite busy with association affairs lately, so he asked me to take over for him."
Han Meiqing was curious and asked, "Do you know when he'll be back next time?"
The substitute teacher estimated, "I think he won't be coming for a while because he's given me the assignment of completing the remaining lessons' PPTs and I'll be taking his place. It will likely take some time before he returns."
As he spoke, he asked Han Meiqing if she was looking for Xiao Changkun.
Han Meiqing nodded, feeling grateful and said, "I'll just give him a call myself, thanks anyway."
On the phone, Xiao Changkun was idling in the office of the Calligraphy Association.
Although he held the position of vice-chairman at the Calligraphy Association, which literally meant he was the number two person, he actually had no practical work to do.
It wasn't because people were rejecting him; mainly it was because his level was simply too low.
In normal times, everyone would discuss and research relevant topics, but he would either remain silent or make a joke whenever he spoke.
However, due to Pei Willong's great favor towards him, no one dared to mock him openly, nor did Pei Willong give him any substantial work to do, knowing that Xiao Changkun had no academic basis.
Since Han Meiqing returned from abroad and became a guest professor at the Senior University, Xiao Changkun took the initiative to propose cooperation with the Senior University, which Pei Willong thought was suitable because the Senior University was indeed an old-age social club with no academic rigor or hard indicators; so he agreed readily.
This period, Xiao Changkun had been idle at the Senior University, and today suddenly didn't go, feeling his whole body become vacant.
He was idling along when suddenly Han Meiqing's phone call came in, immediately putting him in a gloomy mood. He knew why Han Meiqing was calling him - she must be inviting him to something, but he wasn't going.
Although the wedding invitation didn't suit him, not receiving it would also be unsuitable.
So, he pretended to take the call and said, "Han Meiqing, what's up?"
Han Meiqing nodded and asked him, "Zhang Kun, you're not coming to the university today, right? That teacher who's been helping you said that if you don't come, it might be for good. Is that really true?"
Zhang Kun hurriedly replied, "Oh, this matter is true. The main reason is that there have been some developments in our association lately, and I've been quite busy. As the vice-chairman of the association, I'm not very comfortable staying at the university every day. Our chairman, Wei, even called me last night to say that there are many things going on and that it won't be good without me, so I'll go back first to help out and then come later."
Han Meiqing knew Zhang Kun's words were probably just excuses but didn't argue with him, instead asking when he would be free and if she could deliver the invitation to him.
Zhang Kun heard this and quickly said, "Oh no need for you to take a special trip just to give me an invitation. Why don't I have Little Wu bring it over when he comes back from the association?"
Han Meiqing saw that Zhang Kun was already speaking in such a tone, so she didn't insist anymore and said, "Okay then, I'll give it to him." JrNovels.com
