Chapter: 6465

Ye Chen believed that Hong Wu would definitely understand the situation and wasn't afraid of saying something wrong, so he directly opened the speaker.

Hong Wu, upon hearing Ye Chen calling himself "Hong Master", knew that his current conversation must not be very convenient, as there were likely other people around him. Therefore, he smiled very nicely and said, "Ye Big Master, what's our relationship? You have business to discuss with me? Feel free to speak your mind; I'll definitely give it my all!"

Hong Wu's words immediately brought a look of excitement to Xiu Changkun's face.

Ye Chen said into his phone, "Actually, there's nothing too big. It's just about my father-in-law's business. He left the book painting association recently, and you know what happened?"

Hong Wu also understood the specific situation and opened up, saying, "I've heard something about this matter. It seems that Mr. Xiu resigned voluntarily."

Xiu Changkun listened to these words with a hint of resentment and said, "Hong Master, I'm Xiu Changkun. I need to explain to you - it wasn't me who resigned voluntarily. It was that scoundrel Pei Willong who framed me and made me think I should resign. I just sent in my resignation letter as a formality, but never expected Pei Willong would use it against me, leaving me with no chance to retract it. He's absolutely shameless!"

Hong Wu pretended to be surprised and said, "There was this kind of thing? That's really over the line for Pei Willong."

Xiu Changkun as if found a kindred spirit, excitedly saying, "Hong Master, you're right! He's really going too far! Please help me settle this!"

Hong Wu replied cheerfully, "Xiu Master, don't worry. As your father-in-law's son-in-law, I'll definitely take charge of this matter. Wait for a moment; I'll call Pei Willong now and ask him what's going on."

"Ah, ah, ah!" Xiu Changkun heard Hong Wu's loud and solemn tone, his heart immediately felt much better, and he quickly said, "So everything is entrusted to you now, Master Hong!"

Hong Wu smiled and said, "Xiu Master, you're too polite. I'll just call him right away to ask about the situation."

After hanging up the phone, Xiu Changkun finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling sentimental and saying, "Ah, my good son-in-law, it seems that Master Hong is still very considerate of me. If he decides to help me vent my anger, I might really be able to return to the painting association."

Leaf Chen nodded and said, "He indeed has some influence in Jinling, so if he agrees to help, we should just wait for his message."

Xiu Changkun nodded and said, "Okay! Let's wait for Master Hong's good news!"

... This time, Hong Wu had already called Pei Willong on the phone.

Previously, Pei Willong wanted to fire Xiu Changkun, specifically seeking Hong Wu's opinion by phone. That time, he noted down Hong Wu's phone number; this time, he suddenly received a call from him and was taken aback.

Although he didn't understand why Hong Wu would call him, he knew that Hong Wu had high social status and influence, so he couldn't afford to be rude. He quickly answered the phone, saying respectfully, "Master Hong, what instructions do you have for me?"

Hong Wu spoke in an unfavorable tone from the start, asking, "Mr. Pei, how did I hear that you fired Xiu Changkun?"

As soon as Pei Willong heard this, his heart tightened up and he quickly explained, "Master Hong, last time when I called you to report on this matter, didn't I tell you about it already... Xiu Changkun was in a state of confusion at the time and indeed got himself into a big trouble, which put me under pressure. That's why he sent his resignation letter and I approved it, as there was nothing else I could do."

While speaking, Pei Willong feared that Hong Wu would cause him trouble, so he quickly added, "By the way, Master Hong, at that time, I sought your opinion on whether to help Xiu Changkun or not. You said it didn't concern you, so I..."

Hong Wu couldn't fail to notice the underlying meaning in his words and immediately coldly questioned, "Xiu is your colleague and friend. Do you want me to do something about him? We're not familiar with each other."

After that, Hong Wu continued to press on, saying, "And besides, I heard a different version from what you said. I heard Xiu didn't intend to resign at first, but you somehow coerced him into writing the resignation letter. After he wrote it, you turned your back on him and actually fired him! How do you explain this?"

Pei Hui Long's face turned white with anxiety as he hurriedly defended himself, saying, "Grandpa Five, this matter isn't what you're imagining. I was indeed under a lot of pressure. You should know that before this, Zhang Ertong and Zhang Ermao had a big issue that really affected me. There are countless eyes watching me, wondering how I'll handle it. If I don't handle it fairly, won't that be bad for everyone?"

Hong Wu spoke coldly, "Handling things fairly is of course not a problem, but using deceit to get others to resign and then pushing them out of the association... Is this really a fair way to handle things? The so-called fairness in our association's handling of affairs is like this too?"

Pei Hui Long was taken aback and remained silent for a moment. JrNovels.com
