As for the Third Young Master Yan in front of him, compared to the Young Master Lin, he is simply a dragon among men, clearly not on the same level.
"Uncle Lin, a man's consideration for a woman is not necessarily all about pleasing her, but also a form of respect."
Tong Xiaohuai subconsciously felt indignant for Yan Bo. Of course, she was not unaware that Yan Bo was deliberately trying to please her, but at the same time, she could also sense that Yan Bo's own cultivation was qualitatively different from the flamboyant style of the Lin family's young master.
Just like Mr. Lin's sarcastic remark earlier, it's utterly beneath his dignity. If he wants to pursue her, he should let his son show some real talent. Having his father intervene to chase a girl—isn't that pathetic?
Mr. Lin was a little embarrassed because he hadn't expected Tong Xiaohuai to speak up for Yan Bo. He chuckled awkwardly and handed Yan Bo the wine glass in his hand.
"Yes, let's drink to the Third Young Master's gentlemanly conduct!"
Yan Bo was also somewhat surprised. In his view, pursuing Tong Xiaohuai was a long and arduous journey. He had only taken the first step and was already mentally prepared for all the embarrassments and setbacks that lay ahead.
Unexpectedly, on the very first day, Tong Xiaohuai spoke well of him.
It seems that taking this risk today was the right thing to do.
However, he himself felt that taking the risk was the right thing to do, but others might not think so.
He had just finished dealing with Boss Lin when his phone rang. He walked to the side, took out his phone, and saw that it was Secretary Ye.
"Secretary Ye, hello!"
Although Yan Bo did not follow his father's wishes to pursue a career in politics, ever since he settled in L City, Secretary Ye, the local official, has treated him as his responsibility. Yan Bo understands the implications of this relationship, so he has maintained a lukewarm relationship with Secretary Ye.
"Third Young Master, I heard you went to Tong Family Village?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Bo raised an eyebrow slightly.
It seems that L City has been quite peaceful lately. Even Secretary Ye knew about his visit to Tongjia Village. Could it be that he installed a surveillance device on himself?
"Yes, it's still there!" Yan Bo didn't think it was anything shameful.
But clearly, others don't think that way; at least, Secretary Ye doesn't think that way.
"This..." Secretary Ye paused for a moment. Although he was the local official of L City, he could not afford to offend the third young master of the Yan family.
"Third Young Master, this isn't really a good idea. Think about the implications..."
Yan Bo has a gentle personality, but that doesn't mean he's a spineless coward. Whether what he does is good or bad, he never needs or cares about others' opinions.
"Secretary Ye, I'm just an ordinary businessman. What impact does it have on me? Besides, what's wrong with Tongjia Village?"
His words left Secretary Ye speechless.
"Secretary Ye, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
After Yan Bo finished speaking, he actually hung up the phone with Secretary Ye.
My father and older brother have no right to interfere in my affairs, yet this Secretary Ye, an outsider, dares to point fingers so confidently. Who does he think he is?
A mocking smile flashed across Yan Bo's eyes, but he turned around and returned to the lively scene with a gentle expression.
Originally, Yan Bo planned to stay at the party until it ended, but shortly after hanging up with Secretary Ye, he received a call from his assistant saying that there was a thorny issue that required his return. With no other choice, he had to say goodbye to Tong Xiaohuai and Boss Tong and rush back to the company.
"Girl, how is that Third Young Master Yan? Is he alright?"
After Yan Bo left, Tong Laoda quietly asked his daughter.
Tong Xiaohuai had a very good impression of Yan Bo, but she had no mind to think about such things right now.
The burden of the Tong family alone is enough to give her a headache!
"Dad, have you and Mom decided not to travel abroad anymore?"
Tong Laoda was taken aback. "Huh? When did I say I wasn't going?"
"Then why are you hinting at this Young Master Yan? I have so many things to do, how can I have time to socialize with this Young Master Yan? Unless, Dad, you give up your and Mom's wonderful vacation and let me enjoy my romance!"
Tong Laoda looked ashamed. He said that his precious daughter had just graduated from a nearby high school and was admitted to the Business Administration Department of L University with above-average grades. Now, there were only a few days left before the start of the semester. His daughter, who was juggling two jobs, really didn't have much free time to date.
"Ahem...this..."
Tong Xiaohuai successfully shut her father up and turned to get some food to fill her stomach. She had been entertaining guests for most of the morning and was starving. If Yan Bo hadn't brought her a plate of cake earlier, she probably would have fainted from hunger at the party by now.
In comparison, it seems that Yanbo, compared to his father who is rough and carefree, is not without his merits.
...
For two days in a row, Tong Xiaohuai followed Tong Laoda to various shops under the Tong family's name. Tong Xiaohuai had been to these shops before, but at that time she was the young lady and the boss's follower, so she had no say in anything.
But in the last two days, Boss Tong stopped issuing orders, and Tong Xiaohuai became the one making the decisions. Boss Tong became an advisor and follower.
"Boss, several managers submitted their salary increase applications this morning. Please take a look."
The man in charge of this area of the casino is named Fei Gang. He has been working for Boss Tong for nearly twenty years. Upon seeing Boss Tong and Tong Xiaohuai, he habitually reports to Boss Tong.
Tong Laoda winked at him, "Ah Gang, I'm not the boss anymore."
Fei Gang then realized what was happening and handed several applications to Tong Xiaohuai with an apologetic expression. "Miss, please take a look."
Tong Xiaohuai took the applications, glanced at them, and handed them back to Fei Gang.
"Uncle Gang, you can handle this. I have no objection."
The contents of the applications were exactly the same, except for the signatures. Clearly, these supervisors wanted to give their new boss a hard time.
Fei Gang took the application back, his face showing difficulty. "Miss, isn't this inappropriate?"
Tong Xiaohuai said firmly, "What's wrong with it? Uncle Gang, you made the decisions before, and it's the same now."
Aside from those supervisors trying to intimidate him, Fei Gang was clearly also testing him, or rather, not necessarily with malicious intent, but as a way to find a way to get along with the new boss.
Sure enough, the troubled look on Fei Gang's face disappeared, and he confidently replied, "Okay, I'll take care of it!"
"Xiao Huai, you handled it well just now!"
As soon as they got in the car, Tong Laoda couldn't help but express his approval of his daughter's actions.
"Dad, I know. I've just taken office, and stabilizing people's hearts is more important than anything else."
A person's abilities are limited; those who can make the best use of talent are the ones who can achieve great things.
Tong Xiaohuai understood these things.
"Well, let's take it slow. Dad's judgment is still pretty good."
The implication is that the people in charge under him are all trustworthy.
