Chapter: 6472

Huang Qiuyun looked at the content Xiao Changkun sent out and was unsure for a moment. She muttered to herself, "It's not impossible that Xiao Changkun doesn't want to go back to the Book Painting Association. After all, that whole thing was quite embarrassing, and then you got him kicked out of the association right away, which is even more embarrassing. If he goes back now, I don't know how many people will be gossiping behind his back."

Pei Willong anxiously asked, "What if he doesn't want to go back? What should I do? This director's position has already been secured for him, and I'm the one who got it for him. If I really say that a vice-director is being pushed out for him, not even mentioning which vice-director would agree, the key issue will be revealed, and everyone will be talking about me. When that time comes, this pressure will be unbearable for me!"

Huang Qiuyun sighed and said, "This is really a case where no one is happy. If Xiao Changkun gets kicked out, he'll hate you. If you ask him to come back, he'll still hate you. And everyone else will be dissatisfied with you too. This kind of thing is just making us look bad... Ah, it's all my fault..."

Pei Willong waved his hand dismissively: "Let's not talk about that now. Let's think about how to deal with Xiao Changkun this time. If he doesn't go back, I'll have really offended Uncle Hong! I used to think I didn't care if I offended him or not, but he's got so many connections and relationships, and he can even cut off my chance at becoming the head of the Book Painting Association. If I can't satisfy him this time, maybe I won't be able to keep my position for long."

Huang Qiuyun handed him his phone and said, "Why don't we just call him? You can apologize over the phone, talk some nice words, and even scold yourself a few times, as long as you can calm him down a bit and make him willing to come out and meet with you. If he really sets his mind against going back, then we're out of options."

Pei Willong nodded and gritted his teeth: "Alright! I'll call him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the phone and directly dialed Xiao Changkun's number.

Xiao Changkun, on the other side, saw Pei Willong's phone call and his mouth almost reached his ear.

However, he deliberately put it off, thinking about the phone ringing for a long time, but still didn't answer.

Yedchen saw that Xiao Changkun was not answering the phone, not even hurriedly, just staring at the phone in a dazed manner, so he couldn't help asking: "Dad, why aren't you answering the phone?"

Xiao Changkun chuckled with shame: "Oh! It's not about anyone else! Pei Willong! He sent a message saying he wanted to meet me outside our neighborhood, and I didn't agree, so he called again. I estimate that it's Uncle Hong looking for him to ask some questions, and he's scared, so he's rushing to find me to figure out how to make amends."

Yedchen nodded: "Dad, since Pei Willong wants to make amends with you, and you want to go back to the Book Painting Association, I advise you not to be too stubborn. Otherwise, it might give people the impression that you're impossible to negotiate with, and they might look for other ways."

Xiao Changkun's expression turned slightly tense as he asked: "Can Uncle Hong really not follow through? Does he dare to disobey?"

Yedchen said: "He has to follow through based on the actual situation. If one is too stubborn, it's easy to create misunderstandings. If he thinks you're dead set against returning to the Book Painting Association, then he won't come looking for you anymore. It's like how men and women treat each other - you can manipulate them, but you have to know when to stop."

Xiao Changkun nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense... So I should go see him?"

Just then, Pei Willong called again, Xiao Changkun didn't hesitate any further, directly picking up the phone and asking: "What do you want, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Willong hurriedly said: "Ah, Changkun, finally answered the phone! I just wanted to apologize in person, then tell you some good news. I'm right outside your neighborhood gate now, don't worry, I won't take up too much of your time!"

Xiao Changkun intentionally asked him: "Can't we just say it directly over the phone? Is there no other way?"

Pei Willong's tone was humble as he said: "Changkun, I know you must be angry with me in your heart. And I also know that I really did something ridiculous. Now, I'm actually trying to make amends and correct my past mistakes, so I hope you can give me an opportunity. I won't take up too much of your time; five minutes will be enough. I hope you'll consider our long-standing friendship and give me a chance..."

Xiao Changkun intentionally remained silent for a moment before finally sighing and saying: "Fine, fine. I'll come out. You're waiting outside the door."

Pei Willong was immediately excited as he said: "Good good good! I'm already outside the door. You can see me when you come out."

"Okay."

Xiao Changkun finished speaking and hung up the phone before then impatiently telling Yedchen: "Alright, young master, I'm going to go see Pei Willong and this old dog, and find out what he's planning to do about my problem."

Yedchen nodded and said: "Then you two chat. I'll just wait for a bit."

"Okay." Xiao Changkun said: "You don't need to follow me. I'll go see him myself." JrNovels.com
