Chapter: 6466

He knew Hong Wu had perfectly targeted his weak point, using the case with Shao Changkun to clear himself. No matter how he tried to explain it away, resigning from the position would remain an unexplainable fact.

At this moment, he couldn't help but curse his wife in his heart: "That good-for-nothing woman is always trying to be clever! She thinks she's so smart! If it weren't for her coming up with this stupid idea, I would definitely have found a way to protect Shao Changkun. Then Hong Wu wouldn't have been able to find fault with me and might even have thanked me for my efforts. Now, I've become a small-minded person in front of Hong Wu."

Hong Wu saw Pei Hui Long remained silent and his tone grew colder by a few degrees, asking, "What's wrong, Pei Hui Long? Don't you want to talk to me?"

Pei Hui Long hastily said, "No, no, Grandpa Five. I'm not refusing to talk to you... I'm just reflecting..."

As he reached this point, Pei Hui Long took a deep breath and sincerely said, "Grandpa Five, I admit that what I did was wrong. Please give me another chance to make it up."

Hong Wu asked him, "I remember that the association has already publicly announced your resignation. What do you plan to do now? Tell me first."

Hong Wu asked again, "What's your confidence level?"

Pei Hui Long wiped his sweat and explained, "Grandpa Five, I can't give you a 100% guarantee, but I'll definitely do my best to push this thing forward. I think the problem shouldn't be too big."

Hong Wu asked again, "So you're planning to solve what position for Mr. Shao?"

Pei Hui Long sighed, "Grandpa Five, I'm not going to hide it from you - I really can't give the vice chairman's position back to Shao Kong anymore because when he got into trouble before, this position was already taken by the next-level vice chairmen. If I were to let him take over now, and especially for Shao Kong, things would likely get messy all the way up to the provincial level..."

Hong Wu said, "Although you've done something not very honorable in this matter, I won't put too much pressure on you. I won't let you settle with Mr. Shao again, but at least you have to find a middle-level management position for him. Also, I hope you can take the opportunity to express your apologies to Mr. Shao in person - when things are done so poorly, apologizing in person is absolutely necessary."

"Okay, okay! I'll definitely do it!" Pei Hui Long wouldn't dare say anything half-hearted to Hong Wu and could only nod enthusiastically.

Apologizing to Shao Kong face-to-face wasn't a difficult thing for him; the difficulty lay in how to settle a middle-level management position for Shao Kong.

If he hadn't been swayed by his wife's words and hadn't messed things up, he would have taken the opportunity to demote Shao Kong, then let a few key personnel rise one level each - that would have been like going with the flow.

But alas, he had missed that opportunity; now he was trying to operate again, which was like rowing against the current - there were some difficulties involved.

However, despite the difficulties, he wouldn't dare bargain with Hong Wu.

"Ah, yes," Hong Wu said with a hint of detachment, reminding him, "since you're so sure you can get it done, I expect a clear answer from you by tomorrow at this time."

"Alright!" Pu Weixiong gritted his teeth and agreed to do so, saying, "Don't worry, I'll gather them right away and we'll discuss it!"

Hong Wu chuckled to himself, his tone very casual, reminding him, "Pu Weixiong, I think you won't be able to leave the painting association anytime soon. From now on, you'll be working alongside Shao Kong for a long time, so I hope you can get along well."

After saying this, Hong Wu didn't give him any chance to respond or react before hanging up the phone.

His words suddenly woke Pu Weixiong up from his dream like state.

He suddenly realized why his ascension path had been suddenly blocked, and it was all because of Hong Wu!

No way!

This blockage was entirely due to Shao Kong's doing!

It must be that Hong Wu knew he had taken a step back against Shao Kong, so he directly cut off his own ascension path - this was the opportunity he had been waiting for nearly ten years, and it was about to slip through his fingers like a fish jumping over the dragon gate. If only he hadn't put Shao Kong in his pocket, but instead had faithfully fulfilled his promises and spared no effort to protect him, I'm sure he would have received the promotion order by now!
