Chapter: 6464

However, things didn't go as planned, making him feel very insecure.

He spent half a day stuck in his office and then gave that key person a call. After one ring, he picked up smiling and said, "Chen Willong, sorry for disturbing you. I'm just wondering when we can schedule the meeting to discuss the previous vacancy position?"

The other party chuckled and apologetically said, "Old Pei, it's really not convenient this time. This matter has been changing over the past few days, so I haven't given you a clear answer yet. Just now, our internal meeting just ended, and we've reached a clear conclusion."

Pei Willong listened to this and suddenly got excited, quickly asking, "Chen Willong, if there's a clear result, when can we schedule a meeting with a clear plan?"

The other party shook their head and sighed, "Oh, Pei Willong, although the result has been reached, it might not be what you want."

Pei Willong's heart skipped a beat as he quickly asked him, "Chen Willong, do you mean..."

Chen Willong said, "It's almost year-end. We've internally discussed next year's work arrangements and position settings. From a principle standpoint, we plan to reduce some positions and have a round of consolidation for the entire team. Unfortunately, the position I reserved for you is actually on the list of positions to be cut off..."

"What do you mean by position cut off?!"

Pei Willong listened to these words and his heart skipped a beat with nervousness, quickly asking Chen Willong: "Chen Willong, our department is so big, responsible for all provincial literary work, can we just say goodbye to positions?"

Chen Willong sighed on the phone: "It's because the department is too big, so we need to streamline and slim down, and I have no choice."

After that, he didn't want to continue discussing with Pei Willong, so he said: "Old Pei, this matter is really a pity, you don't need to be too anxious either. First, continue to lead the Chinese Calligraphy Association for a while, if there's new opportunity, I'll definitely inform you first."

Pei Willong understood Chen Willong's intention naturally and although his heart was very agitated, he still said with great politeness: "Okay, okay, Chen Willong, this matter is really troublesome, please keep me informed at any time."

"No problem."

Chen Willong quickly agreed and then said: "Alright, Pei Willong, I'll just leave you now, we can discuss it when we meet next."

"Goodbye, Chen Willong."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Willong's heart was extremely annoyed. He immediately prepared to go to the new unit and take on his new position. Little did he expect that his new post would be abolished right in front of him!

At this moment, Pei Willong felt like a million disappointments wouldn't be enough. Although he was the president of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, the association was still too small. He only had the power to manage about 20-30 people, with limited authority and benefits. What's more, there was little room for promotion in this position. The only way to rise further would be to move up to a provincial or higher-level organization. If he missed this opportunity, who knows when he could get another chance?

Pei Willong didn't know that it was actually Hong Wu behind the scenes cutting off his path of promotion.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen not only wanted to cut off Pei Willong's promotion opportunities but also planned to find ways to bring Xiu Changkun back to the Chinese Calligraphy Association.

At this moment, driving back home from the airport, Xiu Changkun hesitantly asked Ye Chen, "Good son-in-law, your relationship with Hong Wu is getting farther away, isn't it? If you can get him to help me handle this matter, that would be great."

Ye Chen replied casually, "He used to ask me for favors and help others. Although we haven't been in touch much lately, I can try asking him if he's willing to lend a hand."

Xiu Changkun nodded eagerly, saying, "That's right! Good son-in-law, hurry up and call him, see if there's still some leeway. I think the only way to pressure Pei Willong is for Hong Wu to intervene..."

"Okay, I'll ask him," Ye Chen said, then pulled out his phone to call Hong Wu.

After a brief conversation, Hong Wu answered with great politeness on the other end of the line: "Ah, Master Ye, what can I do for you?"

Xiu Changkun quickly leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Good son-in-law, hurry up and call him, see if there's still some leeway. I think the only way to pressure Pei Willong is for Hong Wu to intervene..." JrNovels.com
