At this moment, President Pei waspletely starstruck. With both hands raised in a thumbs-up gesture, he eximed earnestly, “Jacob! You are truly incredible! I mean, look at you, standing right in front of the legendary Don Albert! It’s like you’re his little brother! This is just amazing!”


    “Ouch!” Jacob felt a mix of ttery andfort. He smiled back at President Pei, saying, “Oh,e on, President Pei! I’m nothing extraordinary. We’re all just soldiers under yourmand. You’re the real deal!”


    President Pei was thoroughly enjoying this harmonious exchange, swept up in the moment. He affectionately patted Jacob on the shoulder, almost like a brother, and said with sincerity, “Jacob, if I ever get promoted, you will definitely be my sessor as president!”


    “Well, then I wish you a speedy promotion, President Pei!” Jacob responded, feeling genuinely pleased.


    Having faced some setbacks in his love life, Jacob was eager for a win to lift his spirits. The prospect of bing president was certainly enticing.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    President Pei, bubbling with excitement, pped Jacob on the shoulder again. “Let’s go! We’re heading to Heaven Springs! I’ll call my friend on the way and ask him to join us!”


    He then turned to Jacob and suggested, “Since we’re going out for drinks tonight, let’s not bother with driving!”


    Jacob recognized the wisdom in President Pei’s proposal. While self-driving cars were increasingly popr, opting out of driving for a social dinner made things much easier.


    However, Jacob had his own thoughts. “Old Jacob drives the Cullinan. With such a fantastic vehicle to showcase, and a perfect opportunity to impress, how could I pass on the chance to drive?”


    So, he quickly replied, “President Pei, let’s drive! I’ll take my car! After our drinks tonight, I can arrange for a driver to take you home first. Plus, we can chatfortably in the back seat. Who knows what kind of driver you might get in a taxi—some might even smell of cigarettes or be unhygienic. That could really ruin the mood!”


    Upon hearing this, President Pei beamed and said, “Alright, that sounds great! Thank you for taking care of this!”


    “Oh,e on, it’s just what I should do!” Jacob replied with a chuckle.


    With that, the two of them quickly agreed and made their way out together.


    Jacob drove them out, with President Peifortably seated in the passenger seat. They were engaged in a lively conversation when suddenly, Jacob received a call from Xiao Wu, who was covering for him as a teacher at the University for the Elderly.


    Without hesitation, Jacob answered using the car’s Bluetooth. “Hey, Xiao Wu! How’s everything going?”


    Xiao Wu responded, “Vice President Jacob, I’ve finished today’s sses and wanted to update you.”


    Feeling somewhat disinterested in the university affairs, Jacob replied, “Oh, thanks for the update, Xiao Wu. I’m a bit busy right now, so if there’s nothing urgent, I’ll have to hang up.”


    Xiao Wu, eager to share more, quickly added, “Actually, there’s one more thing. Professor Han from thew department asked me to pass along an invitation to you. Are you still at the meeting? If you are, I can bring it back to you.”


    Jacob’s mood soured further at the mention of the invitation. He replied dismissively, “No, no, we can discuss it when we meet. I appreciate your efforts in teaching for me; you don’t need to make a special trip just for that.”


    “Alright!” Xiao Wu replied. “I’ll hold onto it and give it to you when I see you.”


    As Jacob was about to end the call, President Pei chimed in, “Xiao Wu, it’s me. Do you know who I am?”


    Xiao Wu, recognizing the voice, eagerly responded, “President Pei! Of course, I recognize your voice! You’re with Vice President Jacob right now.”


    “That’s right,” President Pei confirmed, then asked, “Xiao Wu, do you have time tonight? I might need your help with something.”


    Without hesitation, Xiao Wu replied, “What do you need? Just say the word, President Pei! I’m at your service!”


    With a friendly smile, President Pei exined, “Vice President Jacob and I are going to Heaven Springs for dinner tonight, and we’ll probably enjoy a few drinks. Can youe to Heaven Springs and help drive Vice President Jacob home? You’re known for being calm behind the wheel, and everyone praises your driving skills. I’d feel much more at ease knowing you’re the one driving us back after a few drinks!”


    Xiao Wu was thrilled. “Of course, President Pei and Vice President Jacob! I’ll make sure to get it done. I’ll head straight to Heaven Springs and wait for you!”


    President Pei smiled again, “No need to rush. We expect to arrive a bitte, so just grab a bite to eat first and join us around nine o’clock.”<fn1ad9> Get full chapters from find?novel</fn1ad9>


    He then added, “Make sure to eat something nice. I’ll approve the expenses when you bring me the receipt!”


    Xiao Wu responded eagerly, “Got it, President Pei! I’ll be there on time at nine. And I happen to have Vice President Jacob’s invitation with me!”
