Just when Song Wanting, Chen Xiaozhao and Shi Tianqi were amazed at Wu Qi's incident, Ye Chen's father-in-law Xiao Changkun, wearing a suit, happily came out of home and took a taxi to Tianxiang Mansion.
Because he was preparing to drink some wine in the evening, Xiao Changkun left the BMW at home and gave Ye Chen the car keys, so that Ye Chen could drive to Tianxiang Mansion to pick him up.
Xiao Changkun has no other hobbies recently, but he likes to study antiques and cultural relics and calligraphy and paintings, so he joined the Calligraphy and Painting Association.
This time, I was invited to dinner to get a seat as the executive director of the association.
In order to show his respect for the leaders of the association, he specially ordered a bronze box in Tianxiang Mansion with the 20,000 yuan transferred to him by Ye Chen.
Although this is already the worst private room in Tianxiang Mansion, it is much better than most hotels outside.
When Xiao Changkun arrived at Tianxiang Mansion, Master Hong Wu was on the way.
The waiter did not know Xiao Changkun, so he directly led Xiao Changkun to the bronze box he had booked.
Seeing that the others had not arrived yet, Xiao Changkun was not anxious, so he simply sat in his seat and waited patiently for everyone to arrive.
A few minutes later, the door of the box was pushed open, and a middle-aged man of similar age walked in.
After seeing Xiao Changkun, the middle-aged man walked up and smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, you came so early. When did you arrive?"
Xiao Changkun hurriedly said, "Brother Xu, I've been here for a while. Today, the president and all the executive directors can enjoy the face of attending this dinner in my group. I am so honored and excited, so I rushed over in advance and wait for your big drive.
.”
The middle-aged man who came was named Xu Wenyuan, and he was an executive director of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.
He and Xiao Changkun usually have a good relationship. Both of them like to make some antique calligraphy and paintings, so they often find bargains on the antique street and have a very good relationship.
When he heard that Xiao Changkun wanted to compete for the position of executive director, he was the first to stand up to support Xiao Changkun.
Moreover, Xiao Changkun agreed to the banquet for leaders in the association today, largely because of Xu Wenyuan's face.
Seeing that Xiao Changkun was so polite, Xu Wenyuan laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, you are intent!"
Xiao Changkun hurriedly made a gesture of invitation and said, "Brother Xu, please sit down!"
Xu Wenyuan was not in a hurry to sit down. Seeing that the others had not come yet, he whispered: "Brother Xiao, I naturally have no objection to you when you come to the position of the executive director, but the others in the association,
But that's not necessarily true!"
When Xiao Changkun heard this, he felt a little worried and asked quickly: "Brother Xu, tell me carefully."
Xu Wenyuan sighed and said, "The position of executive director is often an opportunity to find a bargain, and it is more authoritative when speaking out, so it has always been a fat man. Our executive director goes out to participate in an antique program, and usually he will do it.
I would give a tens of thousands of dollars to play, so many people are staring at this position.”
Speaking of this, Xu Wenyuan said again: "Let's take Sun Youcai as an example. Recently, I heard that he has been cursing the president and other executive directors, and has given them a lot of gifts in private.
Judging from the current situation, he will be your biggest competitor!”
"Sun Youcai?" Xiao Changkun couldn't help but frown and said, "It's the one who has some money to burn so much that he doesn't know what his surname is?"
Xu Wenyuan nodded and said, "So, it is far from enough for me to support you alone. When others come later, you must try your best to win the support of several other executive directors and even presidents, so that you can
During the internal voting, you will defeat Sun Youcai and become the new executive director. Do you know?"
Xiao Changkun nodded quickly and said sincerely: "Brother Xu, what you said really enlightened me. Thank you so much!"
Xu Wenyuan smiled slightly and said, "Why are you polite to me!"
As he said that, he glanced at the time and said, "President and the others are coming soon. Let's go to the door of the private room and wait, so it seems more sincere."
Xiao Changkun nodded repeatedly, and did not dare to sit in his seat anymore. With Xu Wenyuan, he walked to the door of the private room and stood still, waiting for the leaders and directors of the Calligraphy and Painting Association to appear.
After a while, other people from the Calligraphy and Painting Association arrived one after another.
An energetic old man was surrounded by people around him and came to the door of the private room as if he were staring at the moon.
As soon as Xu Wenyuan saw this old man, he immediately walked up and smiled and said, "President!"
Xiao Changkun also hurriedly followed and said respectfully: "President Pei, you are here!"
President Pei nodded slightly and said in a complaining manner: "Chang Kun, look at you, how did you create such a big scene? Didn't you say that, we should pay attention to everything when we have a party. You can find a hotel and order an ordinary one.
The lobby is just a good location, so why do you need to book a private room in Tianxiang Mansion in extravagant and wasteful?"
Although he said this and even blamed Xiao Changkun for being too grand, he was just polite on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart.
If Xiao Changkun really put the place where the meal was invited to the lobby of other hotels, he would definitely turn around and leave, and would never have any contact with him in the future.
Xiao Changkun hurriedly said, "Everyone who came today is the leader. When the leader is here, how dare I be negligent!"
As he said that, he laughed and said, "Since everyone has arrived, let's take a seat as soon as possible."
President Pei also nodded and said, "Okay, okay, everyone should sit down!"
At this time, a middle-aged man following President Pei suddenly snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Changkun, you treat a meal at Tianxiang Mansion and only book a bronze box with the worst grade. It would be too disrespectful to the president and
Are the other executive directors?"
Xiao Changkun's face suddenly became ugly when he saw the other party and said, "Sun Youcai, I'll treat everyone to dinner, but I didn't send you an invitation. Why did you come here with licking your face? Besides, what's the matter with you? What's the relationship between me and you?
, is it your turn to talk about it here?"
The person in front of him is his biggest competitor in the position of executive director, Sun Youcai.
Sun Youcai said contemptuously: "You can't say that. What is our President Pei's identity? What is the status of these executive directors?"
As he said that, Sun Youcai snorted coldly and said, "What is the purpose of treating everyone to dinner today? Everyone knows it. Isn't it just for the position of the executive director? But, do you think you have set a bronze box the secondiest,
Can you let the president and others support you? This is too insincere. This is obviously a fool to treat everyone like a local bun who has never seen the world!"
After saying that, he looked at everyone and said with a smile: "The bronze box is really not worthy of your identities! In order to show respect to the president and all the executive directors, I specially booked a golden box upstairs.
