Chapter: 6471

Pei Chang waved his hand in frustration, 'These kinds of things are hard to navigate. No one will forgive me. I can only try my best to make amends and ease the tension a bit. He'll probably still harbor resentment against me, but I've at least shown my good intentions, so there should be some improvement.'

Pei Chang sighed in resignation, 'Oh no! If I can't satisfy Shao Chongkun, I think I'll have to stay in the Book Painting Association until retirement and then low-key see him. This relationship needs to be constantly repaired.'

Huang Qiuyun nodded lightly, saying, 'If there's a chance, we should still try to make progress. You're in this position now, and if you don't work hard enough, you won't get any money when you retire, and your treatment will be low-key. Look at Qin Laoren, he was once your superior...'

Pei Chang agreed, saying, 'Yes... I'm still old enough to make a comeback, but I don't know how long Shao Chongkun's influence will last. If it takes more than three years to resolve this issue, I'll be completely out of options.'

Huang Qiuyun comforted him, saying, 'Don't worry, things are in our control. Let's take it slow.'"

At this moment, Shao Chongkun was one person.

Xiao Changkun returned home and slumped lazily on the sofa, fiddling with his phone alone.

He had been paying attention to his WeChat messages, hoping to see if Pei Chang or other colleagues from the calligraphy association would contact him. He thought that since his son-in-law had already given Hong Wuyi a heads-up, Hong Wuyi might make some moves when the time came, and he could potentially go back.

Once internal discussions decided to let him return, someone would surely reach out to him or report to him.

So he just waited anxiously, hoping to receive good news.

This state was like waiting for a boyfriend who had broken up with her to initiate contact. You spend the whole day staring at your phone, eagerly awaiting a message from them.

Ma Lan didn't stay in the living room long because she had bought a lot this time in Dubai and her shoes were about to burst with all the souvenirs. She was now eager to put away her things and go back to her room to appreciate everything again.

Ye Chen didn't hurry back to his room either, but sat down opposite Xiao Changkun and brewed a pot of tea. He poured himself and Xiao Changkun each a cup, saying, "Dad, don't be so gloomy. Let's have a cup of tea."

Xiao Changkun nodded slightly, placed his phone next to the teacup, didn't lock the screen, and sipped his tea while glancing at the phone screen from time to time.

Ye Chen looked at this and intentionally asked him, "Dad, you're staring at your phone so intently. Are you waiting for some information?"

Xiao Changkun shook his head to deny it, saying, "No, no, I'm just looking. It's already become a habit to check my phone now and then."

As he was speaking, the WeChat message list suddenly popped up with a familiar profile picture, followed by the content: "Old Xiao, you're disturbing me so late. Are you at home?"

Xiao Changkun's eyes lit up, quickly putting down his tea cup and taking out his phone to respond in WeChat: "What do you have to say?"

Pei Willong responded quickly: "Old Xiao, I've got some things I'd like to explain to you in person. Plus, I've got some good news to share with you. I'm already at your community's gate. If it's convenient for you, please come out and we can chat face-to-face."

When he heard Pei Willong say that he was already at the community gate and wanted to see him, Xiao Changkun's heart leapt with joy.

He knew that when Pei Willong came to find him now, his tone was so polite and he mentioned having good news, it definitely meant that he had already resolved the problem of returning to the Book Painting Association!

Xiao Changkun was overjoyed but quickly calmed down, thinking to himself: "Pei's being so proactive towards me, definitely sensing pressure from Uncle Hong! I've got to maintain my composure at this moment and not give him the impression that I'm eager to go back!"

Thinking about this, he said, "It seems like there's no need to explain things between us in person. Why are you doing this? I know what's going on, so let's just drop it."

As soon as the information was sent out, Pei Willong's heart skipped a beat while sitting in the car.

He handed his phone to his wife and gloomily said, "My wife, don't Xiao Changkun not want to go back to the Book Painting Association?" JrNovels.com
