The secretary, carrying a pot of coffee, entered and quietly told Yan Bo as she poured him the coffee.
"Boss, there's a Miss Tong waiting for you in the reception room outside."
Yan Bo looked at her in surprise, "Who did you say?"
"Miss Tong, you're quite pretty," the secretary said with a smile, looking at her boss.
The secretary is Ms. Guo, who is just over forty years old. She has always admired her boss, who is so young that he could be her son.
She often teased her young and promising boss, telling him to wait for her fifteen-year-old daughter so that she could become his mother-in-law.
Most of the jokes have a bit of truth to them, and Ms. Guo was indeed a little disappointed. It seemed that she had no chance of becoming the boss's mother-in-law.
Yan Bo, who is usually calm, self-controlled and work-oriented, stood up abruptly after hearing his secretary's evaluation. He walked to the door, then turned back to Di Xu and instructed him, "You should discuss the next planning requirements with everyone."
After giving his instructions, Yan Bo strode out.
Di Xu, who had been instructed to do so, was still quite gossipy, but Miss Guo's two sentences really piqued his interest. He poked Miss Guo's arm with his pen and asked, "Hey, is she really that pretty?"
Miss Guo nodded. "Yes, she is really beautiful, and has an excellent temperament. She looks like a lady from a prestigious family."
It has to be said that Tong Xiaohuai's appearance is extremely deceptive. Judging from her words and actions, no one would guess that she is a gangster's daughter.
No, to be precise, she's now a powerful mob boss.
"I wonder whose daughter she is?"
Di Xu stroked his chin, pondering deeply, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't recall any wealthy family in L City with the surname Tong.
"I don't know. Judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to be from out of town." Ms. Guo was also very curious about Ms. Tong's background.
These two gossipy people couldn't have imagined, no matter how hard they racked their brains, that this Miss Tong did indeed come from a wealthy family, but not a prestigious one, but rather a powerful underworld family.
While a group of people in the conference room were still gossiping and curious, Yan Bo, who had just left the conference room, hurried to the reception room.
At first, he was worried that Miss Guo was teasing him, but when he walked into the living room and saw Tong Xiaohuai sitting properly on the sofa, he was convinced.
"Xiao Huai, didn't you make plans to go out with your classmates this afternoon? How come you have time to come over?"
At this moment, Yan Bo simply assumed that Tong Xiaohuai happened to be passing by and stopped to visit him.
“They had something come up and left after dinner. I didn’t have any plans, so I came up here to take a look around.”
Yanbo was very happy, gave her a drink, and led her outside.
At that moment, most of the managers were in a meeting in the conference room. The other junior employees saw the boss walking around the company with a pretty girl, but they didn't dare to say anything to her face. After the two walked away, they started whispering among themselves.
"That lady is so beautiful, she's such a good match for our boss. Tsk tsk, although I don't want to admit it, to be honest, I have to admit defeat to her."
"Tch, as if you'd have a chance without this lady. Forget it, you should just be my partner, we're a perfect match."
Yan Bo was unaware of the laughter and joking among the employees at Yanhuangli. He was even more unaware that after he showed Tong Xiaohuai around the company, everyone who had met Tong Xiaohuai basically assumed that she was the boss's girlfriend.
Since the company opened, many beautiful women have come to see the boss, and they are all daughters of prominent families in L City. However, none of them have ever received the special treatment of being personally led by the boss to tour the company.
Only today's client was personally led by the boss, who also doted on her the entire time, his gaze towards the young woman so tender it seemed to melt hearts.
In the eyes of Yanhuang's employees, although the boss is gentle, he is far from being kind. Everyone knows that behind the boss's gentleness lies decisiveness; he is always clear and swift in rewarding and punishing.
So, after Tong Xiaohuai appeared, the female employees in their twenties at Yanhuang realized something.
The boss's gentleness is a sign of cultivation and refinement. Moreover, he can show his gentlemanly behavior to all the female employees of Yanhuang, but his tender expression is reserved only for Tong Xiaohuai.
Are you tired?
After leading Tong Xiaohuai on a tour of the two floors, Yan Bo invited her into his office and gently closed the door behind him.
While he was closing the door, Tong Xiaohuai took a quick look around his office.
Like his company, his office also has a simple and bright style.
There was no superfluous or luxurious layout; all that remained were practical furnishings.
This shows that he is indeed an incredibly low-key person.
"I'm not tired at all. This visit has been very rewarding."
Without waiting for Yan Bo to greet her, Tong Xiaohuai walked to the small meeting room in front of the desk and sat down on the sofa.
"How so?"
Yan Bo went over and poured her a glass of water, handed it to her, and then sat down opposite her.
"Many of our stores are designed in a luxury style."
Previously, Tong Xiaohuai didn't think there was anything wrong with this; in fact, she thought it was the norm. It's said that clothes make the man, and a business or shop naturally needs a relatively upscale layout and decor.
"There's nothing wrong with it!"
Yan Bo leaned over, picked up his cup from the coffee table, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then continued speaking.
"Yanhuang is an industrial company, so the layout and decoration don't need to be too fancy or luxurious. I still maintain that I would rather spend money on employees than on flashy but impractical things."
"But the Tong family's businesses are basically all in the entertainment industry. Luxury and grandeur represent high-end status, so there's nothing wrong with that."
Their conversation was quite serious and earnest.
Ironically, they themselves think it's perfectly normal.
Just then, Di Xu, whose curiosity was at its peak, couldn't wait to knock on the door after finishing his meeting.
Upon being invited in, Di Xu was startled by the question Yan Bo threw at him.
"Di Xu, what do you think of the decor of the nightclubs and bars owned by the Tong family?"
Di Xu didn't react for a moment, "Huh?"
What's going on here? He clearly came here to gossip, so why is the boss throwing such a strange question at him?
Is it because they think their presence as a third wheel is too tactless?
"This is Tong Xiaohuai, the current eldest daughter of the Tong family. She is also your junior sister. Come, tell her your thoughts."
Clearly, Yan Bo still remembered that Tong Xiaohuai greatly admired this senior from the same school.
However, Di Xu knew nothing about it!
