Chapter: 6468

"Yes," Huang Qiu Yun said. "Our situation is similar to this. You think about it, our book painting association people, who knows you won't get promoted this time? They're all expecting you to rise quickly, aren't they?"

"Yes," Peng Ke Dong agreed. "Even I just found out about the news, and they probably don't know anything yet."

"Peng Ke Dong said: 'This is it, invite them to eat today and show them that you're ready to rise quickly. Let them think you might ascend soon, and this seat will be vacant soon. Then they'll definitely feel like you're arranging their promotions just like you initially planned to do with Shao Chang Kun down the line. When Shao Chang Kun is replaced, everyone can move up a rank. Now that you're showing your ascension posture, they'll definitely think that everyone will rise again soon. And then, wouldn't that leave the seat of the director vacant for Shao Chang Kun?'"

"After thinking for a moment, Peng Ke Dong said: 'It's just like this, but ultimately, someone has to take a step back in order to let Shao Chang Kun have his position.'"

"Yellow Qingyun said: 'Whoever occupies the position meant for Shao Chang Kun will have to give it up first.'"

"Peng Ke Dong said: 'As long as you think this plan is feasible, grab some time and inform them to have dinner together tonight. I'm already booking a hotel suite now, and then I'll send you the address!'"

"Peng Ke Dong thought for no time at all and said: 'Okay! Let's do it your way! We'll get through this hurdle first before we say anything else!'"

...

When Peng Ke Dong was busy preparing for the dinner party that night, Ye Chen brought Shao Chang Kun and Ma Ran to a hotel near Tangpin, and they sat down.

Shao Chang Kun still had to work late at 9 pm and attend a meeting at the Imperial Group. Ye Chen saw it just in time and didn't want to delay dinner, so he decided to bring his family out to eat instead of cooking at home.

After sitting down at the hotel, Shao Chang Kun let out a sigh and muttered: "I don't want to go out again after this. This trip to Dubai has really exhausted me; I'm almost out of breath."

Ma Ran sneered beside him: "If you hadn't gone out of your way, things wouldn't have turned out like this. You've wasted so much money on me. Even thinking about it now still makes my blood boil."

"Eh!" Shao Chang Kun waved his hand: "Don't bring up the past; let me live for two more years."

After saying that, he thought of something and looked at Ye Chen, asking him: "Good son-in-law, do you think Uncle Hong can help me settle things with the Association?"

Ye Chen smiled: "This kind of thing shouldn't be a problem for him."

Shao Chang Kun nodded, saying: "If I can go back to the Painting Association, my heart will be satisfied. If I can't, then everything after this is still uncertain... Oh dear..."

Ye Chen beckoned a server and ordered some dishes before turning to Shao Chang Kun and saying: "Dad, just don't think too much about it for now, let's wait for the news."

"Okay."

...

On the other side, Pu Weilong brought with him the vice chairman of the Painting Association and the newly appointed director, all gathering at the hotel reserved by his wife, Huang Qiuyun.

Everyone saw Pu Weilong bringing his wife and assumed that this was a farewell dinner before he gets promoted, so someone said: "Pu Weilong, you and your wife please join us for dinner, this must be because you're about to get promoted?"

"Indeed!" someone quickly added: "Pu Weilong, after you get promoted, don't forget about us old friends!"

Pu Weilong sighed and said: "Everyone, I'll tell the truth - I invited everyone here not because of my own affairs."

The crowd was perplexed and asked him: "Then what's the reason?"

Pu Weilong said: "This afternoon, Hong Wu Ge from Jinling called me and wants Shao Chang Kun to go back to our Painting Association as soon as possible, and for me to take care of this matter." JrNovels.com
