The Painting and Calligraphy Association operates with remarkable efficiency. Following a recent meeting, the association promptly announced the approval of Executive Vice President Jacob’s resignation on its official website. Simultaneously, a notice regarding this change was shared on their WeChat official ount.


    The announcement was straightforward,cking any details about Jacob’s actions. It simply stated that Jacob had resigned from his position for personal reasons, and this request was epted after a decision made during a general meeting.


    Despite its simplicity, the brief statement effectively marked Jacob’s departure from the Painting and Calligraphy Association.


    This situation resonates throughout the art and literaturemunity, including other literary and art associations, the antiques and art circles within the city, and the University for the Elderly.


    The Calligraphy and Painting Association’s official ount has fewer than a thousand followers, many of whom are students from the University for the Elderly.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Almost every student, teacher, and guest lecturer at the University for the Elderly follows the Painting and Calligraphy Association’s official ount,rgely because Jacob had encouraged everyone to connect through a QR code during his sses, making it hard for anyone to ignore. His standing in themunity was significant.


    Fortunately, as soon as news of Jacob’s resignation circted, the University for the Elderly was quick to learn about it.


    Matilda, who was on leave and busy nning her wedding with Hank, had just finished trying on her wedding dress and changed back into her regr clothes when she received a surprising notification on her phone.


    Matilda was familiar with Jacob; he had always taken his role as Executive Vice President of the Painting and Calligraphy Association very seriously, making his resignation seem unlikely. The association’s statement indicated he had chosen to resign, which left Matilda feeling a bit unsettled and confused.


    She turned to Hank and said, “The Painting and Calligraphy Association has announced that Jacob has resigned.”


    “Resign?” Hank replied, taken aback. “Is it rted to that incident that made headlines at the antique street a few days ago?”


    Matilda responded thoughtfully, “It’s possible, but I can’t say for sure. It seems like the situation has calmed down, so there shouldn’t have been a reason for him to step down.”


    Hank spected, “Maybe he felt he couldn’t maintain his image.” Matilda countered, “That doesn’t seem like him at all. I should reach out to him.”


    Matilda shared her history with Jacob openly, including their unresolved feelings. However, she reassured Hank that her rtionship with Jacob was in the past now that she wasmitted to him. Having lived in the West for many years, Hank was not overly possessive and trusted her, so he felt no jealousy towards Jacob.


    He nodded and suggested, “Why not ask him? There might be more to this situation. If Jacob is feeling down, perhaps we can offer some support.”


    Matilda agreed and sent Jacob a message on WeChat, asking, “Jacob, why did you suddenly resign from the Painting and Calligraphy Association?”


    After sending the message, Matilda waited a long time for a reply. She had no idea what Jacob might be upied with and decided not to press further, simply waiting for his response.


    Meanwhile, Jacob had spent eight and a half hours cramped in economy ss before finallynding at Dubai Airport.<fncb13> This update is avable on find{n}ovel</fncb13>
