The two had lunch at a Chinese restaurant. As Yanbo had mentioned before that he had things to do in the afternoon, the meal was eaten very quickly.
Aside from a brief moment of cuddling and kissing before the food arrived, Yan Bo behaved himself quite well afterward, quickly finishing his meal. Seeing that it was almost time, he said goodbye to Tong Xiaohuai, got into the car that had come to pick him up, and headed straight for the club where he was to meet his guests.
Di Xu, the special assistant, is now taking on the role of driver.
"Boss, judging by how inseparable you and Miss Tong are, are you about to do something good?"
Originally, he was just joking.
After all, his boss is only twenty years old and his career is on the rise. It's perfectly acceptable for him to date, but getting married is really too early.
Marriage brings different responsibilities and moral obligations compared to dating. Sometimes you might want to be unrestrained outside, but having someone at home always makes you feel restricted. No man would like that.
Little did he know that his boss had always longed for a warm family life. In other people's eyes, having a "yellow-faced woman" at home was not a sign of being restricted, but rather a sign of happiness.
"I'd like to, but unfortunately, it's not the right time yet!"
Di Xu turned to look at his boss in surprise. In the short time he had been with Yan Bo, this was the first time he had ever seen such a regretful expression on his boss's face.
So, the boss really wants to marry that Miss Tong as soon as possible?
Di Xu was stunned by this explosive realization. After a long while, he finally reacted, "Boss, my junior sister is my boss's wife?"
Yan Bo nodded without the slightest hesitation, "Yes, it's her!"
Di Xu opened his mouth wide and it took him a while to calm down. He really didn't expect that his boss was not only ruthless and accurate in business, but also in love!
As for Tong Xiaohuai, after saying goodbye to Yan Bo at the restaurant, she asked the driver to take her to Li Lin's place.
At that time, the KTV was not open yet. She just received a call from Li Lin, who said she had something to discuss with her and wanted to see when Li Lin would be available. She also wanted to check on the renovation progress of the sauna. So she simply asked Li Lin to wait at the KTV while she had her driver take her there.
Li Lin was a pragmatic man. Ever since Tong Xiaohuai agreed to his request for the sauna, he had been very respectful to her. Whether this was genuine or not remained to be seen.
This time, he was waiting in the parking lot early in the morning. When he saw the car carrying Tong Xiaohuai drive in, he jogged over and opened the back door.
"Young Miss!"
Tong Xiaohuai was in a great mood after meeting Yan Bo. She looked radiant and smiled as she nodded at him before getting out of the car.
"Brother Li, what do you want from me?"
Tong Xiaohuai sat down in the VIP room, accepted the tea personally brewed by Li Lin, and got straight to the point without even drinking the tea.
"Miss, I'd like to suggest an idea to you. Please take a look and see if it's feasible."
Li Lin was still standing there, his expression quite sincere and respectful.
Tong Xiaohuai gestured with her chin to the sofa opposite him, indicating that he should sit down.
Actually, if she weren't the eldest daughter of the Tong family, and if she were ranked according to seniority in the Tong family, she would indeed have to call Li Lin "Brother Li".
As a result, many of the managers of Li Lin's generation felt somewhat uncomfortable after she took the top position.
Li Lin was like this, and so was Fei Gang.
However, Li Lin quickly realized his mistake. After being intimidated by Tong Xiaohuai in the last incident of framing someone, he was won over by her promise to atone for his sins. Lately, he has been very obedient to Tong Xiaohuai.
However, Tong Xiaohuai is not such a naive person. In her eyes, Li Lin is currently on probation at school.
Let's see how they perform before deciding on a course of action.
"Miss, I think it would be better if our KTV could operate 24/7? After all, the equipment and facilities are already there, so why not make use of them?"
At that time, this was the norm in the KTV industry: operating from 7 or 8 pm to 2 or 3 am. However, KTVs had huge investments in equipment and facilities, so the utilization rate of these operating hours was indeed a bit low.
Tong Xiaohuai always focused on the big picture; when it came to specific business operations, he usually listened to his supervisor.
Therefore, she was intrigued by Li Lin's suggestion.
"Oh? What do you think about it if we're open 24/7?"
After speaking, he picked up his cup, took a sip of hot tea, and looked at Li Lin with an expression of eagerness to hear more.
Encouraged, Li Lin began to speak eloquently.
“Currently, the industry is used to the idea that KTV is just a nighttime consumption venue. But in fact, I have had people conduct surveys and found that many young people have a great demand in the late night or during the day. Of course, these working professionals or students may not have the spending power of nighttime consumers, but since the investment in venue facilities is the same, if we divide the day’s business hours into several time slots, and each time slot has a different discount, wouldn’t our income be higher than before?”
Tong Xiaohuai was initially skeptical of Li Lin's suggestion, but it was clear that it was very worthwhile to implement. After all, it was now common practice in L City for KTVs to operate for only a few hours each day. If the Tong family's Tongyao KTV were to offer 24-hour service, the first taste of such a business would surely be incredibly delicious.
Tong Xiaohuai's face showed approval. "Brother Li, your suggestion is good. Could you write down a detailed plan for me? Uncle Ming and I will talk to you about it again tonight."
Seeing Tong Xiaohuai's smiling face, Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely afraid that after doing such a bastard thing, the young lady had only given him that sauna as a small favor to keep him in check, and then she would come back to deal with him when she was fully powerful.
But now it seems that as long as I really put my heart into it, there is still a chance to turn things around.
"Okay, I'll write down my detailed thoughts right away."
Tong Xiaohuai responded with an "Mmm," and then stood up.
Knowing that she was busy, Li Lin figured she was probably planning to go to the sauna across the street to check on the renovation progress, so he quickly stood up as well.
"Thank you, Miss!"
Tong Xiaohuai had already started to walk out, but upon hearing his voice, she turned back and smiled at him, "Brother Li, you work so hard to manage Tongyao, and you're still willing to put in the effort to expand the business when it's booming. I should be thanking you!"
With just one sentence, Li Lin's heart was completely won over.
The two walked and talked, and a few minutes later they arrived at the sauna across the street.
“Miss, this decoration company is very reliable. Not only is the progress fast, but the quality control is also very strict. At their current pace, it is estimated that they can deliver the goods a month ahead of schedule.”
