Thanks to Di Xu, who was an expert in L City, the four of them had a very enjoyable day trip to L City.
Di Xu took everyone to a village in L City and to the mountains and fields on the outskirts to see tulip gardens covering the hillsides. Then he took them to a reservoir to fish. For dinner, they ate at a farmhouse by the reservoir. The fish and shrimp that the four of them had caught themselves were cooked into various delicious dishes with original flavors, and the four of them ate until they were stuffed.
On the way back to L City from the reservoir, Tao Jia kept saying that this trip to L City was worthwhile and that she would come again if she had the chance.
"Jiajia, just give me a call whenever you want to come visit, and I'll arrange the itinerary."
Di Xu actually had a good impression of Tao Jiajia, this young lady, and took the initiative to agree to be her tour guide next time.
Tao Jia took a 10 p.m. flight. After leaving the reservoir, the driver drove directly to the airport.
After seeing Tao Jia off, the driver took the three of them back to the city.
"Senior brother, it's fortunate that you were here today."
Although Tong Xiaohuai was a native of L City, she had never heard of the places that Di Xu took her to today.
"Xiao Huai, next time you and your boss can't find a suitable place for your date, I can also provide you with the best spot."
Tong Xiaohuai simply smiled at Di Xu's jokes, while Yan Bo directly resorted to threats and inducements.
"Di Xu, go back and list out your top dating spots for me one by one, or you can forget about getting your quarterly bonus."
Di Xu felt wronged. "Boss, I was doing this on voluntary work!"
Even Tong Xiaohuai couldn't help but speak up for Di Xu, laughing and tugging at Yan Bo to defend him.
"Yeah, my senior brother sacrificed his rest time to play with us all day, and yet he ended up having his quarterly bonus deducted. You're such a terrible boss!"
Yan Bo laughed in anger, immediately pinched her cheek, and said through gritted teeth.
"You've really grown bold, haven't you? You're actually helping outsiders bully me!"
Tong Xiaohuai winked at him, "I'm just sticking to reason, not personal connections, right, senior brother!"
Di Xu nodded repeatedly, but of course, under the boss's tyranny, he dared not admit it.
Although it was just a joke, Yan Bo had no choice but to renew his promise. "Alright, Senior Brother, as long as you list out all the best dating spots in L City, I'll take another 20% of your quarterly bonus from my own pocket."
The saying "a generous reward will surely bring forth brave men" is absolutely true. The next morning, Di Xu handed over the data he had completed on Saturday to Yan Bo, along with a dating guide.
Inside, in addition to listing all the places in L city suitable for dates, it also clearly lists where to eat good food and where to buy clothes.
In Yanbo's opinion, this comprehensive guide is a dating bible.
"I never knew my assistant had this kind of talent!"
Yan Bo casually flipped through a dating guide, then slightly raised his chin and glanced at Di Xu.
"Boss, I'm almost thirty. Although I'm not married yet, I've had several serious relationships. If I don't even have that much experience, I might as well just kill myself."
Yan Bo lowered his eyes and flipped through the pages a few more times. He heard Di Xu say, "Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll go out and get back to work."
Yan Bo didn't look up, he just waved for him to leave.
At noon, Tong Xiaohuai received a call from Yan Bo.
"Xiao Huai, shall we have dinner together tonight?"
Two days ago, Tong Xiaohuai entrusted all her work to Qin Ming because she was with Tao Jia. Today, she felt too embarrassed to push the work onto Qin Ming again.
"Wednesday is fine? I need to go to the money exchange to check the accounts in the next couple of days."
The mess that Fei Gang's men caused last time has finally been resolved properly.
However, this also spurred Tong Xiaohuai to resolve to conduct a comprehensive investigation of money shops.
If she had been hesitant before, fearing that too many actions would demoralize her men, she finally made up her mind after listening to Boss Tong's lecture that day.
Yan Bo was naturally a little disappointed, but he also felt that it didn't matter if the date and dinner were delayed, but work couldn't be neglected.
"Wednesday it is, I'll call you again tonight."
Yan Bo was actually quite busy. Recently, due to funding issues, he needed to meet with a high-ranking official from the bank. He had originally planned to make the appointment for tomorrow, but Tong Xiaohuai was unavailable, so he dialed the bank official's number.
The high-ranking official readily agreed to have dinner together that evening.
After finishing his call with the high-ranking official, Yan Bo turned to Di Xu and Miss Guo and instructed them to prepare the loan documents. After giving the instructions, he suddenly remembered something, returned to his office, turned on his computer, and started typing away.
Tong Xiaohuai was looking at the feasibility analysis report on extending the business hours of the KTV with Qin Ming when her phone rang with a notification.
"I sent some materials to your email, remember to check them."
The sender of the message was Yan Bo.
Tong Xiaohuai opened her email and saw a bunch of notes from Yan Bo.
He had previously helped Tong Xiaohuai review the old accounts of the money exchange from several years ago. These points of attention were the parts of the accounts that he found unclear and had some vague loopholes when he reviewed them back then.
He had mentioned some of these points to Tong Xiaohuai at the time, but he didn't mention the others that he wasn't sure about. After all, at that time, his relationship with Tong Xiaohuai could only be described as friendship at best. If he went into too much detail, Tong Xiaohuai might not believe him or might even doubt him.
But now that he and Tong Xiaohuai have reached a point where they are inseparable, he naturally has a responsibility to list out all the doubts one by one.
Tong Xiaohuai read through all the precautions and felt increasingly like a novice in front of Yan Bo.
She silently noted down the points Yan Bo had raised, then turned to Qin Ming, who was still studying the feasibility report, and said...
“Uncle Ming, I think we can implement Brother Li’s report in several major stores in the city for a quarter first. The weather is getting colder and colder. If this plan is effective, it can help save the off-season revenue.”
Qin Ming frowned slightly. "Xiao Huai, I'm worried that if this plan doesn't work well after it's tried out, it will give those who were originally against you more ammunition to squeeze you out."
Tong Xiaohuai, however, was very confident in the plan. "Uncle Ming, I think it's only a matter of time before KTVs open 24 hours a day. Since that's the case, why can't we, Tongyao, be the first to try it?"
Profits always coexist with risks.
If you don't even have the courage to take risks, how can you obtain the greatest benefits?
Qin Ming lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
"Alright, then I'll inform Li Lin that several major stores in the city will start operating 24 hours a day next month, with a trial period of one quarter."
Tong Xiaokui grunted in agreement, and after a moment, instructed Qin Ming, "Uncle Ming, have Brother Li write down the publicity plan and submit it to me as soon as possible."
