Jacob felt a bit taken aback and nervously asked, “With Master Don Albert’s order, does he really dare to disobey?”


    Charlie Wade replied, “Obedience can vary based on the circumstances. These situations can easily lead to misunderstandings. If he believes that you would rather die than return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he definitely won’te to plead with you again. It’s like a rtionship between a man and a woman; while it’s fine to exert some control over the other person, it’s crucial to know when to stop. Push someone to their breaking point, and they will stop trying to endure.”<fnfe78> Fresh chapters posted on FindN0vel</fnfe78>


    Jacob nodded thoughtfully, “That makes a lot of sense… I should definitely meet him. I need to return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association; otherwise, I’ll just be stuck at home staring at your mother all day.”


    Just then, President Pei called again. Without hesitation, Jacob answered, “Mr. Pei, what did you want to discuss with me?”


    President Pei quickly responded, “Oh, Jacob! I’m so d you answered. I wanted to personally apologize and share some good news. I’m right outside yourmunity now. Don’t worry, I won’t take up too much of your time!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Jacob pretended to inquire, “Can’t we just talk over the phone?”


    In a humble tone, President Pei replied, “Jacob, I know you must feel angry with me, and I recognize that I handled this situation poorly. I genuinely want to make amends and rectify my mistakes, so I hope you’ll give me a chance. I promise I won’t take long—just ten minutes will suffice. I really hope you can find it in yourself to give me this opportunity, considering our history together…”


    After a moment of silence, Jacob sighed and said, “Fine, fine, I’lle outside. Just wait for me at the door.”


    President Pei immediately perked up, “Great! I’m already at the door, so you’ll see me when you step out.”


    “Alright,” Jacob replied.


    Once he hung up, he turned to Charlie Wade with excitement, saying, “Good son-inw, I’m heading out to meet that old dog, Pei Qidong. Let’s see how he ns to resolve my issue.”


    Charlie Wade nodded and said, “Go ahead and chat with him; I won’t intrude.”


    “Sounds good,” Jacob responded. “You don’t need toe with me; I’ll handle this on my own.”


    With that, he got up, put on his coat, and made his way outside.


    At that moment, President Pei had exited his car. Before shutting the door, his wife, Huang Qiuyun, was advising him, “Old Pei, remember to be sincere and appropriately humble. If Jacob is satisfied, we can manage anything. The key is to stabilize him and convince him to return to the association!”


    President Pei nodded, assuring her, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”


    He then closed the door and walked toward the entrance of Tomson Yipinmunity.


    As Jacob hummed a little tune on his way out, he stopped just before reaching the gate. He touched his face to ensure his expression was rxed rather than tense. Finally, he stepped through the grand entrance of themunity.
