Logically speaking, now that I have said yes and said thank you to President Pei, the matter will basically be over. Looking back, Xiao Changkun should be able to retain at least one director position as President Pei said.
But when he thought about it, Master Ye Chen’s attitude was already very clear, which was to teach Xiao Changkun a lesson. If he endorsed him again at this time, wouldn’t it be contrary to Ye Chen’s ideas?
Thinking of this, he pretended to be surprised and asked President Pei: “Why do you want to tell me about the internal affairs of your calligraphy and painting association? I am not a member of your association. Who does what and doesn’t do what, what does it have to do with me?”
“Ah?” President Pei didn’t come to his senses for a moment.
He could hear that Hong Wu’s tone seemed a little displeased, but he couldn’t figure out the source of the dissatisfaction for a while. Was it dissatisfaction with his behavior of calling him to report, dissatisfaction with his own handling method, or… Do you simply not want to care about this matter?
President Pei, who couldn’t grasp the key point, quickly said: “Fifth Master, I am reporting to you because I don’t want you to have any misunderstandings about this matter. I am also worried that you will be unhappy if you know that Chang Kun was demoted… ”
Hong Wu said bluntly: “It has nothing to do with me, so why should I be happy or unhappy? Even if your calligraphy and painting association were to be disbanded tomorrow, I would still have nothing to do with you.”
As he spoke, he said impatiently: “Okay, if I have anything else to do, I’ll hang up first. If you don’t have anything to do, don’t call me.”
Before President Pei could react, a busy tone came from the phone, reminding him that the other party had hung up.
This time it was Chairman Pei’s turn to be confused.
He couldn’t help but mutter to himself: “What do Mr. Hong Wu mean by this? Don’t you want to care about Xiao Changkun’s life or death? Wasn’t he very polite to Xiao Changkun before?”
President Pei’s wife came out of the bedroom, looked at the confused President Pei, and couldn’t help but ask: “Old Pei, what did Master Hong say on the phone?”
President Pei said: “He said that the calligraphy and painting association has nothing to do with him, and that even if it is disbanded, it has nothing to do with him…”
President Pei’s wife immediately said: “Is there any need to think about this? He must not be interested in Xiao Changkun’s affairs!”
“Master Hong Wu doesn’t care about Xiao Changkun’s affairs anymore?”
President Pei exclaimed and said: “But…but he had great respect for Xiao Changkun before…When we went to Tianxiang Mansion for dinner, he not only took out the best box, but also took the initiative to send wine and propose a toast. …”
His wife waved her hand and said: “Lao Pei, you have stayed in a literary and art institution for the elderly like the Painting and Calligraphy Association for a long time, and your sense of smell has really decreased! Even if the couple slept together yesterday, they may draw swords against each other today, not to mention the two of them. ?”
As he said that, his wife added: “And you have to know that Zhang Ermao is his military advisor to Master Hong Wu. As a result, Xiao Changkun worked with him to set up traps and defraud. Would Master Hong be happy?”
“And according to Zhang Ermao’s circle of friends, all the money from the fraud went into Xiao Changkun’s pocket. What does this prove? It proves that Zhang Ermao became Xiao Changkun’s pawn in this matter, riding for him!”
“Xiao Changkun dares to use Hong Wuye’s military advisor as a pawn, and also causes such a big scandal. Can Hong Wuye keep it on his face? At this time, when Hong Wuye gets angry, he will definitely follow Xiao Changkun’s lead. It’s broken!”
