Chapter: 6473

He then got up, put on his coat, and walked out of the house.

At this moment, Pei Willong had already gotten out of the car, and before he closed the door, his wife Huang Qiuyun was still giving him instructions: "Old Pei, remember to be humble and sincere, with a tone that's low-key and modest. As long as Xiao Changkun is satisfied, we can do whatever. The most important thing is to get him stable and agreeable to return to the Book Painting Association."

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

He then got up, put on his coat, and walked out of the house.

At this moment, Pei Willong had already gotten out of the car, and before he closed the door, his wife Huang Qiuyun was still giving him instructions: "Old Pei, remember to be humble and sincere, with a tone that's low-key and modest. As long as Xiao Changkun is satisfied, we can do whatever. The most important thing is to get him stable and agreeable to return to the Book Painting Association."

Here are the next 10 lines:

Pei Willong nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have a plan in mind."

He then got out of the car and walked to the entrance of Xiao Changkun's small community.

Xiao Changkun left his house, whistling a little tune all the way to the entrance. Just as he was about to reach the gate, he suddenly stopped whistling and patted his face to ensure that it was sagging rather than tight. Then he walked out of the compound with an air of grandeur.

As soon as Xiao Changkun emerged, he saw Pei Willong standing at the staircase. Their eyes met again, and Xiao Changkun's heart filled with hatred and anger once more. His gaze contained a sharp edge.

When Pei Willong saw Xiao Changkun, his face was full of ingratiating smiles. Before Xiao Changkun could take another step down, Pei Willong hurried up to him, took hold of Xiao Changkun's hand in the middle of the staircase, and said with a contrite expression: "Changkun, I owe you an apology!"

Xiao Changkun knew that the other was just acting and so responded with sarcasm: "Pei Willong, I've known you for so long, but this is the first time I've realized you're actually a talented actor!"

Pei Willong's face turned bright red, embarrassed, and said: "Changkun, I know there are many things in your heart that are not satisfied with me. I'm not hiding anything from you either. That incident was indeed my doing, but at the beginning, I didn't intend to deceive you. I wanted to give you a section leader position..."

Pei Willong paused for a moment, then continued: "But it's because of those scheming women that everything turned out this way! They've been whispering in my ear, saying that if I help your cause, I'll be leaving myself open to being used by others. And who knows what kind of trouble they might stir up? My future is at stake too, so I had to make a last-minute decision to go back on my promise..."

Xiao Changkun looked at him with suspicion and asked: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to blame your wife for this?"

Pei Willong was flustered and quickly said: "How could that be called blaming? Changkun, I swear on my life that this is just my own foolishness, driven by the narrow-mindedness of my wife. If I were lying to you, may heaven strike me down right now!"

Xiao Changkun's expression finally relaxed, with his heart no longer harboring any grievances.

So, he gestured to Pei Willong and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Just tell me what you've come for today?"

Pei Willong hurriedly replied, "Changkun, I came here for nothing else but to invite you back to our painting association. Today, I've already secured the position of the head director that you previously agreed upon, and you can return anytime, take up your post at any time!"

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Changkun's heart suddenly let go of all its tension.

What he wanted was just this position.

He wouldn't dare think about becoming a vice director, but having a director's job would be enough to satisfy his desires.

Now that he had received Pei Willong's promise, it was only natural for him to be grateful and pleased.

However, on the surface, he pretended not to be affected and changed the subject by asking Pei Willong, "Pei Willong, I think your wife also said something right. Are you afraid of being influenced by me now?"

Pei Willong didn't mention his own lack of prospects for advancement, but instead replied without hesitation, "Changkun, as the saying goes, when an enemy comes, one must block it; when water rises, one must dig a hole to hold it back. If you really do get influenced by me, then we can think of ways to minimize that influence and resolve any problems that arise. We can't be afraid of problems before they even appear." JrNovels.com
