The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 3730



He had gotten used to the mediocrity in his life, and had not done anything dignified in fifty years. Now he was attending various formal meetings and seeing various leaders and elites every day as the second-in-command of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. All this gave him the illusion that he, too, was an elite.

This afternoon, the representatives of the Calligraphy and Painting Association went to the city again for another meeting. This time, it was to communicate the details of the Korean exchange with the fellow members of the Music and Arts Association, the Writers' Association, and also the Senior University.

This meeting was not only attended by Jacob, who was representing the Calligraphy and Painting Association, but also by Jacob's first love, Matilda. An old classmate of Charlie's mother as well as Autumn's father, Yolden, was also present on behalf of the Senior University.

Matilda and Yolden were both doctorate holders who returned to Oskia from the United States. Matilda has engaged in the legal industry in the United States for many years and was experienced in her craft, whereas Yolden was an internationally renowned economics expert.

In contrast, Jacob wasn't so eye-catching.

Although he was the vice chairman of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he knew very little to nothing about the field of calligraphy and painting.

If you gave Jacob a brush, he wouldn't be able to write good words or draw any remarkable paintings. His skills were nothing more than that of an amateur.

When Jacob first joined the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he was just an ordinary member.

However, he was lucky enough to climb to the second-i n-command position of vice chairman thanks to Mr. Bay's support and promotion. Ever since that time in The Heaven Springs, Mr. Bay attached great importance to Jacob, especially after seeing Albert's humility and respect for Jacob.

Now, Mr. Bay would even take the initiative to bring Jacob around to enrich his experience whenever there were any big public occasions. Unfortunately, Jacob had no real skills or abilities. Even if he wanted to express his opinions or make comments in the field of calligraphy and painting, the professionals would know that he was only faking it.

In order to prevent Jacob from exposing his fears and making a fool out of himself, Mr. Bay would always instruct Jacob to listen more and talk less, to prevent the latter from committing any mistakes whenever Mr. Bay brought him out to participate in activities.

Jacob naturally knew that he wasn't very good, and would keep mum when it came to such occasions.

However, both Matilda and Yolden shone at this exchange meeting.

To show the active self-improvement of the Senior University elderlies in Aurous Hill in this exchange event, both made a set of professional lecture courseware together which they carried out very well.

The vast majority of senior universities in Oskia were actually entertainment centres for the elderly. Retired seniors would go and learn calligraphy, painting, dancing, and even boxing, or engage in other recreational activities together. This was basically the whole concept of senior universities.

Both Matilda and

Yolden felt that

since it was a university for the elderly, they had to sort out some in-depth teaching courses. So, they invested a lot of effort into Senior University and organized for a group of senior citizens with relatively higher education levels, and made a few disciplines livelier. Content

Jacob, who had simply been agreeing, humming, and nodding throughout the entire meeting, felt a little dismayed.

On one hand, he felt inferior because of the huge gap between his level in contrast to Matilda and Yolden's level.

And on the other hand, he also felt that Matilda and Yolden were working too closely and perfectly together. That incited jealousy in him.

As the meeting came to an end,

someone proposed a group meal in the evening, Jacob thought about taking advantage of this opportunity to have more contact with Matilda. To his surprise, Matilda said," Professor Hart and I will not be attending the dinner. We have to return to Senior University in a while, as there will be an internal learning experience and sharing session tonight."

My. Bay couldn't help but praise, "Professor Hall, you're so responsible! You actually organized a sharing session in the evening! The Calligraphy and Painting Association really seems to be a little uninspired as compared to Senior University."

Matilda said modestly, "Don't say

that, Mr. Bay. The nature of Senior University is very different compared to that of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. The Calligraphy and Painting Association ofContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

professionals, whereas Senior University is just like a regular army. We're all retired people who don't know what to do, and so, we can only learn more. We'll be able to catch up with you when we become professionals one day!" Content

Jacob was a little resentful. Matilda wasn't going to the dinner, so he was also uninterested in eating with a bunch of old men. So he said, "Matilda, why don't I send you to Senior University? It's on my way home."

Matilda smiled and refuted politely, "No need, Jacob. I came here with Professor Hart today, and he drove here. We'll just go back together." "Oh..." Jacob felt even more lost and depressed. He suddenly didn't know how to continue the conversation.

At this time, Mr. Bay's cell phone suddenly rang and he went out to answer the call. Very soon, he rushed back in and said excitedly to Jacob, "Jacob, let's go back to the association! Something wonderful has happened!"
