Usually when everyone is discussing and studying some related topics, he either doesn’t speak, and when he does speak, he makes a joke.
But because President Pei held him in high regard, no one dared to really laugh at him. President Pei also knew that Xiao Changkun had no level at all, so he basically didn’t arrange any substantive work for him.
After Han Meiqing returned to China and became a visiting professor at the University for the Elderly, Xiao Changkun took the initiative to ask Ying to take the lead in cooperating with the University for the Elderly. President Pei felt that the University for the Elderly said it was a university, but in fact it was just a social club for the elderly, with nothing academic in it. There were no hard targets, so I agreed.
During this period, Xiao Changkun had been working hard at the University for the Elderly, but suddenly he stopped going today, and he immediately felt relaxed.
While he was bored, he suddenly received a call from Han Meiqing, and he felt depressed instantly. He knew why Han Meiqing called him. She must have wanted to send him an invitation, but she was not there.
Although I definitely don’t plan to go to this wedding, it’s really inappropriate not to accept the invitation.
So, he pretended to answer the phone and said, “Meiqing, are you looking for me?”
Han Meiqing hummed and asked him: “Chang Kun, you didn’t come to the University for the Elderly today. The teacher who took your place said that you might not come here in the future? Is that true?”
Xiao Changkun said quickly: “Oh, this thing is true. The main reason is that there have been some actions in the association recently and it is quite busy. It is really difficult for me, the executive vice president, to stay at the University for the Elderly every day. Our President Pei He called me last night and said that there was a lot going on at the meeting and I couldn’t do it without me, so I came back to help first and I’ll go over when I’m free.”
Han Meiqing knew that what Xiao Changkun said must be excuses, but she didn’t say anything. She just asked him: “When is it convenient for you, can I send you the invitation?”
When Xiao Changkun heard this, he quickly said: “Oh, I’m sending you an invitation. There’s no need for you to make a special trip. Let’s do it this way. Just give the invitation to Xiao Wu, the little brother who helps me teach. Let Xiao Wu go back.” Bring it to me during the meeting.”
Seeing that he had said so, Han Meiqing stopped insisting and said, “Okay, then I’ll give him the invitation.”
Xiao Changkun was in a bad mood and didn’t want to talk to Han Meiqing anymore, so he said, “Um, Meiqing, our President Pei has convened a meeting. I’ll go first and we’ll talk later.”
“Okay, you get busy first.”
Xiao Changkun hung up the phone, threw the phone on the table, lay down on the office chair, put his legs on the desk, feeling exhausted.
Although his worry about Ma Lan diluted his sadness about Han Meiqing’s upcoming marriage, he would still feel very unhappy if he calmed down and thought about it.
He even felt in his heart that instead of doing this, Han Meiqing might as well not come back at all.
While he was depressed, someone knocked on his office door. Before he could respond, the person pushed the door open and it was President Pei who came.
President Pei saw him and said with a smile: “Old Xiao, Old Xiao, you, the executive vice president, it is not easy for me to meet you once. You go to the University for the Elderly all day long. You haven’t been back for a while, right?”
Xiao Changkun quickly took his legs off the table and said politely: “Hey, President Pei, haven’t I been busy with the project at the University for the Elderly during this time? But recently I have arranged for Xiao Wu there, and I will do it every day from now on. Come to the meeting and listen to your teachings, President Pei.”
