Chapter: 6401

As a result, Xiao Changkun's resignation email had just been sent out when Pei responded to it within five minutes. Xiao Changkun opened it up and saw that Pei replied, saying: "Xiao Vice Head has voluntarily resigned. This is a tremendous loss for our association. However, we also need to respect his personal situation and wishes. So, please have all vice heads come to my office at 10 am tomorrow to discuss this matter."

Xiao Changkun was still in a daze, wondering why Pei would respond to his email and ask other vice heads to come to the office to discuss it. Then he took another close look and saw that Pei had copied all of them.

When responding to the email, copying everyone meant that Pei's own email had also been forwarded to others.

Xiao Changkun felt that this matter should be discussed by the leader and a few vice heads internally, without needing to copy everyone. Therefore, he quickly sent a voice message to Pei: "Pei, didn't you accidentally send this email to everyone? Ah?"

Pei responded: "Changkun, actually, everyone already knows about this matter, so there's no need to hide it. This way, we can show that our actions are just and open. Don't worry, tomorrow I'll discuss it carefully with a few vice heads."

Xiao Changkun thought that Pei's words also had some reason. His personal matters were already widely known in the antique and art circles, so it wasn't necessary to hide them within the association. In reality, doing so would be like putting on a show for everyone.

So he relaxed his mind and said to Pei: "Pei, I'll be flying back to Dubai tomorrow morning. I'm entrusting this matter to you over here!"

Pei replied: "Changkun, don't worry. I'll take care of it properly."

Xiao Changkun didn't harbor any doubts and smiled as he said: "That's a lot to ask of you, Pei. When I get back, I'll definitely treat you to a good meal at the Tianxiang Pavilion!"

When Pei heard this message, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "The Tianxiang Pavilion? Even Hong Wuya won't bother with you anymore. Maybe in the future, you won't even be able to do as well as me there."

He took a deep breath, put his phone away, and consoled himself by talking to his wife: "I'm not being malicious, after all. This is something Xiao Changkun did himself, isn't it?"

His wife hurriedly responded: "You're not being malicious at all. You're just timely setting boundaries. I think you should also consider having a whole-association meeting to decide whether Xiao Changkun can stay or go. If everyone thinks he's okay and hopes to keep him around, then you don't need to worry about it; just leave him be."

"If, however, everyone expresses the wish for him to leave the association, you won't have to take full responsibility for it either. After all, it would be a collective decision, and you could also protect yourself a bit."

Pei responded: "I'll tell you this much - even if Xiao Changkun hadn't done anything like this, he would probably still get kicked out anyway. He's always been at the bottom of our association in terms of personal relationships, and everyone knows he has no professional qualifications. I was only able to bring him up because I took a huge amount of pressure."

His wife nodded with a smile: "That's perfect, this time it's like using someone else's sword to strike. If he comes looking for you later, you can just say this is everyone's intention, and you won't be able to do anything about it. Blame can only be placed on him himself; don't blame me!"

After sending the email, Xiao Changkun was still unaware that this email would become the key to his leaving the Chinese Painting Association.

That night at the rundown hotel, he didn't sleep well and woke up early the next day with two dark circles under his eyes. He rushed to the airport in a hurry.

Security check, exit, and boarding - everything went smoothly. By 10 am, his flight had already taken off from Jinling Airport, heading straight for Dubai.

At this moment, several vice chairmen had already gathered at Pei's office in the Chinese Painting Association.

These people all shared a common goal: to pressure Pei into forcing Xiao Changkun out of the association.

Of course, they were also aware that Xiao Changkun has some connections in society, and he has a close relationship with Hong Wujia. Pei would probably be reluctant to abandon him due to his reputation.

However, these people knew that if Pei really wanted to protect him, they couldn't persistently push for it either, because it was easy for Xiao Changkun to find out and bear a grudge against them.

Several people came to Pei's office, and the big door was closed behind them. One person couldn't help but ask him, "Chairman Pei, what are you planning to do about Xiao's situation?"

Pei said, "I called you all here to discuss this together, see what you think."

"I don't care," someone replied, looking at others with an eye. "I just feel that this matter is very bad. Now everyone outside is watching us, and if we can't handle it well, we'll definitely be blamed for being biased towards Xiao." JrNovels.com
