she only nodded to the crowd. When she saw Ye Chen, her eyes paused for a moment before moving away.at this time, Mrs. Xiao continued to say, "Today, first of all, I would like to thank the Dihao Grou...while Song Wanting, Chen Xiaozhao and Shi Tianqi were sighing about Wu Qi, Ye Chen's father-in-law, Xiao Changkun, came out happily from home in a suit and took a taxi to Tianxiang House.
because he was going to have a drink 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 House to pick him up.
Xiao Changkun doesn't have any other hobbies these days, but he likes to delve into antiques, calligraphy and painting, so he joined the calligraphy and painting association.
the purpose of this treat to dinner is to get a seat on the executive director of the association.
in order to show his respect for the leaders of the association, he specially took the 20,000 yuan transferred to him by Ye Chen and booked a bronze box in Tianxiang House.
although this is the worst box in Tianxiang House, it is much better than most of the restaurants outside.
when Xiao Changkun arrived at Tianxiang House, Hong was on his way.
the waiter didn't know Xiao Changkun, so he led Xiao Changkun directly to his reserved bronze box.
seeing that the others had not yet arrived, Xiao Changkun was not impatient, so he simply sat in his seat and waited patiently for the people to arrive.
A few minutes later, the door of the box was pushed open, and a middle-aged man of his age stepped in.
when the middle-aged man saw Xiao Changkun, he came forward, smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, you are so early. When did you arrive"
Xiao Changkun hurriedly said, "Brother Xu, I have been here for a while. Today, the president and the executive directors are so honored and excited that I am so honored and excited to come here in advance and look forward to your arrival."
the middle-aged man, named Xu Wenyuan, is an executive director of the calligraphy and painting Association.
he and Xiao Changkun usually have a fairly good relationship. Both of them like to toss about some antique calligraphy and painting, so they often pick up leaks in antique streets together, and have a good friendship.
when he heard that Xiao Changkun wanted to compete for the position of executive director, he was the first to stand up for Xiao Changkun.
moreover, Xiao Changkun invited the leaders of the association to a banquet today, and the reason why they agreed to come here is, to a large extent, in the face of Xu Wenyuan.
when Xu Wenyuan saw Xiao Changkun being so polite, he smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, you have a heart!"
Xiao Changkun hurriedly made a gesture of invitation and said, "Brother Xu, please have a seat!"
Hsu Wen-yuan was not in a hurry to sit down. Seeing that the others had not yet come, he whispered, "Brother Xiao, I naturally have no problem with you coming to sit on this executive director's seat, but not necessarily for the rest of the association!"
when Xiao Changkun heard this, he was a little worried and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xu, tell me carefully."
Xu Wenyuan sighed and said, "the post of standing director has always been a fat vacancy because it often comes across opportunities to pick up leaks, and it is more authoritative to say so. when our executive director goes out to participate in an antique program, he usually gives an appearance fee of tens of thousands of yuan, so a lot of people are staring at this position."
speaking of this, Xu Wenyuan added, "Let's take Sun Youcai as an example. Recently, I have heard that he has been sucking up to the chairman and other executive directors, and he has not given them few gifts in private. Judging from the current situation, he will be your biggest competitor!"
"Sun Youcai" Xiao Changkun could not help frowning and said, "that's the guy who burns so much money that he doesn't know his last name."

Xu Wenyuan nodded and said, "therefore, it is not enough for me to support you alone. When others come, you must try your best to win the support of several other executive directors or even the president, so that you can defeat Sun Youcai and become the new executive director when you vote internally, okay"
Xiao Changkun nodded hurriedly and said sincerely, "Brother Xu, what you said really enlightened me. Thank you so much!"
Xu Wenyuan smiled and said, "Why are you being polite to me"
said, he looked at the time, said: "President, they are almost here, let's wait at the door of the box, show more sincerity."
Xiao Changkun nodded again and again, but dared not sit in his seat again. Together with Xu Wenyuan, he went to the door of the box and stood still, waiting for the leaders and directors of the calligraphy and painting Association to appear.
A moment later, other members of the painting and calligraphy Association arrived one after another.
A Hale and hearty old man, like the stars and the moon, was surrounded by people around him and came to the door of the box.
as soon as Xu Wenyuan saw the old man, he immediately went up to him and smiled and said, "President!"
Xiao Changkun also hurriedly followed respectfully and said, "President Pei, you are here!"
President Pei nodded slightly and pretended to complain and said, "Chang Kun, look at you, how did you make such a big scene" I told you, our party is all about keeping things simple. You can just find a restaurant and book an ordinary lobby seat. Why book a box at Tianxiang House with extravagance and waste "
although he said this in his mouth and even blamed Xiao Changkun for being a little too grand, he was only polite on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart.
if Xiao Changkun really put the dining place in the lobby of another hotel, he would certainly turn around and leave, and he would never have anything to do with him in the future.
Xiao Changkun said hurriedly: "all of you here today are leaders. When leaders come, how dare I snub them"
as he said, he laughed and said, "now that everyone is here, let's take our seats quickly."
President Pei also nodded and said, "all right, everybody sit down!"
at this time, a middle-aged man behind President Pei suddenly snorted and said, "Xiao Changkun, is it too disrespectful for the president and other executive directors to treat you to dinner at Tianxiang House and book only one of the worst bronze boxes"
when Xiao Changkun saw each other, his face immediately became ugly and said, "Sun Youcai, I invited everyone to dinner, but I didn't send you an invitation. Why are you licking your face and following me" Besides, what does it have to do with you what box I book is it your turn to gossip here "
the man in front of him is Sun Youcai, his biggest competitor for the position of executive director.
Sun Youcai said disdainfully: "you can't say that. What is the status of our president Pei, and what is the status of these executive directors"
as he said, Sun Youcai snorted coldly and said, "what exactly is the purpose of your invitation to dinner today everyone knows very well, isn't it for the position of executive director But do you think you can get the president to support you by ordering the worst bronze box This is so insincere. It is obviously fooling everyone like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world before. "
after saying this, he looked at the crowd and said with a smile on his face, "A mere bronze box is not worthy of your identity!" In order to show respect for the president and the executive directors, I specially booked a golden box upstairs. Why don't we just move to my place "it was only then that Xue Xinlong was relieved and said, "after the baby is born, if you don't want it, you can give it to me, and we'll raise it for the old couple."(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle |...
