    As President Pei busily prepared for the evening dinner, Charlie Wade took Jacob and ine to a restaurant located near Tomson Yipin, where they settled in for a meal.


    ire had to workte at the Dihao Group that evening. Noticing it was dinner time and realizing cooking at home would take too long, Charlie Wade decided to treat the elderly couple to a meal out.


    Once seated at the restaurant, Jacob let out a sigh and remarked, “I never want to go out again. This trip to Dubai nearly did me in.”


    ine responded with a hint of irritation, saying, “If you hadn’t acted so recklessly, we wouldn’t be in this situation. I lost tens of millions of dors. It still makes me sad to think about it.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Hey!” Jacob waved his hands dismissively. “Let’s not talk about that anymore. I’d like to live a couple more years!”


    After saying this, Jacob paused, then turned to Charlie Wade and asked, “Good son-inw, do you think Master Don Albert can help me get reinstated in the Calligraphy and Painting Association?”


    Charlie Wade smiled reassuringly and replied, “That should be a minor issue for him.” Jacob nodded in agreement.


    “I’d be content if I could return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association. If that doesn’t happen, I’m uncertain about my future… It’s quite worrying…”


    Charlie Wade gestured to the waiter to order a few hearty dishes and then said to Jacob, “Dad, don’t stress too much right now; just wait patiently for news.”


    “Alright.”


    ……


    Meanwhile, President Pei arrived at the hotel booked by his wife, Huang Qiuyun, apanied by the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the newly appointed director.


    Noticing that President Pei had his wife with him, everyone assumed the dinner was a farewell celebration for his uing promotion. One person remarked, “President Pei, with you and your sister-inw treating us to dinner, it must mean you’re getting promoted soon, right?”


    “Yes!” another chimed in quickly, “President Pei, don’t forget your old friends once you’re promoted!”


    President Pei sighed and rified, “Everyone, to be honest, I didn’t invite you all for my own reasons.”


    Confused, they inquired, “Then what’s the asion?”


    President Pei exined, “This afternoon, the well-known Don Albert from Aurous Hill contacted me. He expressed a desire for Jacob to return to our Calligraphy and Painting Association and requested that I expedite this process.”


    “What?!” Upon hearing that Jacob was being considered for a return, everyone expressed their reluctance.
