"Young Master Ling, you've gone on and on about all this, but what exactly is the background of the Tong family?"
He thought that the only person in L City who could be feared by the Ten Great Families and whom Secretary Ye could do nothing about was Yan Bo!
Yan Bo neither boasts about his illustrious background nor tries to distance himself from it.
He wasn't stupid, nor did he need to cling to pointless arrogance. Since others were willing to offer him various conveniences because he was Young Master Yan, why shouldn't he accept them?
For businessmen, maximizing profits is their primary goal.
Ling Qingyun looked at him with some skepticism for a few moments, then remembered that he had only been in L City for a month. In that month, he had not only set up the company, but also smoothed things over with most of the departments and processes that needed to be taken care of. It was normal that he didn't have much time to learn about the dark side of L City.
After figuring it out, Ling Qingyun looked around to make sure no one else was nearby. Then he pulled Yan Bo to the end of the corridor, stood by the window, and whispered to Yan Bo, "Third Young Master, the father of that Miss Tong we just saw is the underworld boss of L City, Boss Tong!"
Ling Qingyun originally thought that Yan Bo would be somewhat frightened by what she said.
Unexpectedly, the other party simply said "Oh" and took out the phone again.
This time, before Ling Qingyun could react, Yan Bo quickly entered the phone numbers he had just scanned and noted into the phone.
"Manager Xiao, this is Yan Bo. Which room is the boxer's rest area?"
If he wasn't mistaken, the female boxer named Tong Xiaohuai should have gone to the lounge after stepping off the stage.
Ling Qingyun realized what was happening and tried to stop them, but it was too late.
At this moment, he could only hope that Young Master Yan was only interested in that Miss Tong because he admired her talent.
"Young Master Ling, I'm going to take a look around the lounge. Do you want to come? Or you can wait for me in the car!"
Ling Qingyun really wanted to wait for him in the car, but when he thought of Secretary Ye's instructions, how could he dare to leave Young Master Yan's side for even a moment?
Yan Bo strode to the door of room number 216, which was half-open, and loud voices could be heard coming from the crack in the door.
Yan Bo knocked on the door politely. Someone came to open it; it was the female assistant who had been serving Tong Xiaohuai earlier. She was taken aback when she saw him.
"Who are you?"
Given Yan Bo's status, he could easily ignore this assistant, but being of a gentle nature, he responded to her very politely this time.
"My name is Yan Bo. I'm looking for Manager Xiao."
Manager Xiao, who was inside, ran out upon hearing the noise and looked terrified when he saw Yan Bo and Ling Qingyun.
"Third Young Master, Young Master Ling..."
Manager Xiao didn't know why Yan Bo suddenly came to the lounge. Anyway, his intuition told him that this Third Young Master was even more unapproachable than Tong Xiaohuai.
"Manager Xiao, I heard that you are looking for shareholders to invest. I happen to have some money on hand, and I also happen to have a little interest in boxing, so I specially asked Young Master Ling to take me here tonight."
Upon hearing his purpose, Manager Xiao immediately changed his demeanor.
"So that's how it is! Why didn't you say so earlier, Third Young Master...? Let me show you around!"
Although Manager Xiao said this, he was actually a little resentful towards Yan Bo and Young Master Ling, who had made him worry for nothing!
"I just came to take a look, didn't I?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Xiao quickly stepped aside to let him and Ling Qingyun into the lounge.
Yan Bo walked in and glanced at the spacious hall. There were groups of people gathered in twos and threes, some chatting, some playing cards. However, he did not see the person he was looking for.
He sat down at Manager Xiao's invitation, took the tea handed to him by his assistant, and slowly sipped it.
Over there, Manager Xiao had already placed a large stack of information about the boxing gym and the boxers in front of Yan Bo.
Yan Bo picked up the boxer's information and flipped through it, but did not find any information about Tong Xiaohuai.
"Manager Xiao, why don't we have any information on that female boxer from earlier?"
Yan Bo pretended not to know anything about Tong Xiaohuai and asked casually.
Manager Xiao was taken aback for a moment. "Third Young Master, Sister Xiao Huai is not our boxer."
Yan Bo looked at him with a curious expression. "Oh? Is she a specially invited boxer?"
"No, Third Young Master, you've misunderstood. Sister Xiao Huai is a member of our club. She's just playing in the match tonight as a hobby."
Yan Bo said "oh" again, then casually closed the boxer's file.
“I thought that with her around, I would invest 500,000.”
At this time, China's economy was in its initial stage, and 500,000 was already a huge sum of money.
The light in Manager Xiao's eyes flickered. Although he was very interested in the 500,000 yuan, how could someone of Miss Tong's status be willing to stay here as a boxer for a long time?
Besides, even if she were willing, given enough time, Boss Tong would definitely flatten this boxing gym.
"Third Young Master, I dare not say anything about Sister Xiao Huai's affairs."
The 500,000 investment was tempting, but Manager Xiao didn't even dare to think about the consequences of offending Boss Tong.
After hearing about Tong Xiaohuai's background from Ling Qingyun, Yan Bo understood what Manager Xiao and Ling Qingyun were wary of.
However, Yan Bo has never been afraid of anyone since he was a child.
"Okay, I'll talk to her myself."
From that stunning glance just now, Yan Bo's heart seemed to be tied to a thread, with the other end held in Tong Xiaohuai's hand.
His heart had been filled with a strange mix of unease and anticipation, yet this unease and anticipation showed no trace on his face.
He simply sat calmly in the living room, sipping tea and waiting for the other party to walk right into his trap.
Manager Xiao was filled with anxiety, after all, 500,000 was a huge sum of money for the boxing gym.
On the other hand, how could he possibly control this Miss Tong?
If we anger Boss Tong for this 500,000, it might be a losing proposition.
But if he directly rejects Young Master Yan's investment, won't he offend the young master again?
Caught in a dilemma, Manager Xiao looked at Ling Qingyun with great distress.
After all, if Ling Qingyun hadn't brought people here, this difficult situation wouldn't have occurred.
Ling Qingyun understood his situation and feelings, but there was nothing he could do to help him in the current circumstances.
Ling Qingyun spread his palms and shrugged at Manager Xiao, indicating that he was also powerless to change the current situation.
Just as the two were exchanging glances, the door to a room not far away clicked open, and Tong Xiaohuai, who had already taken a shower and changed into casual clothes, walked out looking refreshed.
"Sister Xiaohuai..."
Manager Xiao, who couldn't afford to offend either side, quickly got up and jogged over.
Tong Xiaohuai, with her backpack slung over one shoulder, nodded to him, then, without saying anything, strode towards the door.
