Tong Xiaohuai walked out of the living room and immediately saw Qin Ming sitting there drinking tea.
"Good morning, Uncle Ming!"
Qin Ming bent down and placed the cup on the coffee table, then looked up and gave her a serious look.
Did you sleep well last night?
Tong Xiaohuai nodded, "Yes, very good!"
This wasn't the first time Tong Xiaohuai had encountered something like a money exchange, so she no longer suffered from insomnia or anxiety because of it.
So, she actually understood the implication behind Uncle Ming's words, but she pretended not to understand and tried to brush it off with a simple answer.
But Qin Ming wasn't so easily fooled. He patted the seat next to him, gesturing for Tong Xiaohuai to sit down.
Tong Xiaohuai hesitated for a moment, then finally walked over.
"What happened last night is on the surface to be over, but I will arrange for someone to keep a close eye on the aftermath."
Tong Xiaohuai took the hot drink that Uncle Yuan brought over and took a sip.
After finishing his drink, he held the cup with both hands. "Thank you, Uncle Ming. However, I don't think this incident was orchestrated by Brother Fei. I think it's best to keep an eye on other people as well."
Tong Xiaohuai, being a girl, was always quite meticulous. After carefully analyzing the situation, she expanded the suspects from Fei Gang to two other people.
Qin Ming looked at her with interest. "Oh? Who else do you think is a suspect?"
Qin Ming is an old fox, so even if he doesn't say it, he knows what's going on in his mind.
However, Tong Xiaohuai has only just taken over everything in the Tong family, and he needs to be trained in all aspects before he can truly grow.
There will be bumps and setbacks in the process, which is inevitable.
In any case, unless it involves a matter of life and death, Qin Ming will not interfere too much.
After a period of observation and practice, Tong Xiaohuai's leadership and decisiveness after taking over the Tong family were far better than he and others had expected.
Given time, she will definitely become an outstanding leader, no less than her father.
Tong Xiaohuai looked around warily, and seeing that only she and Qin Ming were in the large living room, she whispered two names.
Qin Ming blinked in approval.
"Alright, since we're on the same page, I'll go for it!"
Qin Ming came over early in the morning specifically to give her a heads-up. Now that she's picked out these two people, it's clear she has a plan in mind.
"Well, then I'll leave this to Uncle Ming."
Uncle Ming walked to the entrance hall, then suddenly turned around and asked Tong Xiaohuai, "By the way, are you having dinner with me tonight or have you made plans with the Third Young Master?"
Tong Xiaohuai blushed slightly, "I don't know yet, I'll tell you later."
Uncle Ming shrugged. "Well, anyway, it doesn't matter who I eat with, I'm just an old man."
Tong Xiaohuai was so teased that she lost her temper. "Uncle Ming, shall the three of us eat together?"
Uncle Ming quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I don't want to be a third wheel!"
With that, he slipped away.
Tong Xiaohuai had to go back to school for two classes in the morning. Outside the classroom, she saw Zeng Xianghuai.
Tong Xiaohuai was somewhat surprised because, if she remembered correctly, Zeng Xianghuai hadn't chosen this course, had he?
"Xiao Huai, do you have time tonight? Let's have dinner together."
Before Tong Xiaohuai could ask any questions, Zeng Xianghuai took the initiative to explain his purpose.
Tong Xiaohuai thought that everything had been made very clear in the coffee shop yesterday. Was this current action a sign that she hadn't given up?
"Senior, I'm sorry, I have dinner plans with my boyfriend tonight."
Although she and Yanbo had not made any agreement, the emphasis of her statement was not actually on having dinner together, but on the person "my boyfriend".
Sure enough, when Zeng Xianghuai heard her mention her boyfriend, her expression immediately changed, and her initial unease turned into frustration.
"Boyfriend...didn't you say yesterday..." Zeng Xianghuai thought that since Tong Xiaohuai and the person she claimed to have feelings for each other hadn't become boyfriend and girlfriend yet, it meant that he still had a chance.
When Tong Xiaohuai first admitted that someone was her boyfriend, even though she appeared calm on the surface, she couldn't help but blush.
She blushed and nodded. "That's right. He wasn't my boyfriend yesterday morning, but he confessed his feelings to me last night."
Zeng Xianghuai was silent for a moment before finally asking, unwilling to give up, "You agreed to him?"
"Um!"
Tong Xiaohuai had never experienced unrequited love, but she still felt that rather than dragging him along in ambiguity, it was better to clearly end his hopes.
Zeng Xianghuai lowered his head and remained silent once again. After a long while, he raised his head and forced a bitter smile at Tong Xiaohuai.
"Okay then, we'll make another appointment when we have time."
"OK!"
Zeng Xianghuai turned and left with his head down. Tong Xiaohuai watched him walk away step by step. When he reached the corner, Tong Xiaohuai suddenly called out to him.
"Senior brother!"
Zeng Xianghuai suddenly turned his head to look at her, a hint of hope in his eyes.
"Thank you for saving me a spot the other day."
Tong Xiaohuai wasn't sure if he would have any further contact with her after making things so clear.
But as her first friend in college, Tong Xiaohuai really had to thank him.
The light in Zeng Xianghuai's eyes dimmed, but he said, "Don't mention it. I'll save you a seat for elective classes in the future. I'll be going now."
Tong Xiaohuai entered the classroom with mixed feelings, and as usual, found a seat in the last row.
Since Zeng Xianghuai successfully struck up a conversation with her, it seems that many more people are now trying to talk to her.
Although we're just nodding acquaintances, it's still much better than when I was all alone at the beginning of the semester.
After finishing her class, Tong Xiaohuai said goodbye to a cute little girl next door and returned to the car. The driver asked her about her next itinerary as usual.
"Let's go check out the North City Money Exchange."
Actually, when Tong Xiaohuai came out of the building after class, she fantasized that Yan Bo might be waiting for her in front of the teaching building.
However, she quickly dismissed this idea.
Yan Bo was indeed very good to her, but he wasn't an idle playboy who did nothing all day. He had endless work to do, so why would he stay here just to give her a surprise?
Sure enough, I'm just an ordinary girl. Once I'm in love, my thoughts become childish and unrealistic.
The money exchange was vandalized yesterday; the glass and mirrors in the counter and reception hall were all smashed. As soon as Tong Xiaohuai entered, he saw the busy figures of renovation workers.
Fei Gang, who was not staying at the North City Money Shop, was now there.
After all, he was the head of the money exchange.
"Young Miss, you've arrived!"
Fei Gang and the manager of the money shop came forward, looking very respectful.
Tong Xiaohuai frowned as she glanced at the mess in the lobby. "How long will it take before we can get back to normal business?"
