"Xiao Yan, you're here?"
Before Tong Xiaohuai could come out of the kitchen, Tong Laoda, who had finished watching the movie with his mother, strolled out leisurely.
Yanbo wondered if it was just his imagination, but his future father-in-law seemed particularly kind and approachable today.
"Uncle Tong, is the movie over?" Yan Bo stood up.
Old Master Tong walked straight over, patted him on the shoulder, and gestured for him to sit down.
"I've finished watching it. Your Aunt Tong always likes to watch old movies, and I can even recite them by heart..."
Yan Bo obediently sat down. Now he was sure that he was not mistaken. Not only did Boss Tong no longer have any hostility towards him, but he also showed a level of intimacy he had never felt before.
This intimacy is a bit like that of buddies and a bit like that of father and son.
"Uncle Tong, that's called romance!"
Tong Laoda laughed and shook his head, "I don't know about romance, but it's definitely making me sleepy."
Yan Bo pretended to check behind him, saying, "Uncle Tong, you can't let Aunt Tong hear this."
So, when Tong Xiaohuai and her mother entered the living room, they saw Yan Bo and Tong Laoda, who hadn't gotten along well before, huddled together, talking about something.
"Dad, what did you say to Yanbo? You weren't saying anything bad about me, were you?"
Tong Xiaohuai took a walk around the kitchen, and her previous unease had completely disappeared.
"What are you feeling guilty about? You are my daughter. I can't say bad things about anyone else but you."
The eldest brother, Tong, fiercely protected his own, saying domineeringly, "Besides, where did you get the bad things to say, right, Xiao Yan!"
Yan Bo naturally nodded in agreement, "Yes, even if Xiao Huai isn't perfect, she's still nine-tenths perfect!"
Tong Xiaohuai couldn't stand the two of them flattering her in turn; sometimes, their words were so exaggerated that they were hard to believe.
"Mom, let's ignore them. They're already drunk before they've even had a drink."
Upon hearing the word "wine," Boss Tong looked at Yan Bo and asked, "What, did you buy some good wine?"
Yan Bo nodded. "It's not exactly fine wine. I just went to Liu's Winery and brought over two jars of freshly unearthed Osmanthus-flavored aged wine."
Upon hearing this, Tong Laoda was overjoyed and slapped his thigh to stand up. "Old Liu's osmanthus vinegar? That's good stuff! I'll go take a look!"
Halfway there, he turned to Tong Xiaohuai and said, "Xiaohuai, call your Uncle Ming and ask him to come over and have a few drinks with me."
Tong Xiaohuai looked at her mother, then at Yanbo, and was in a difficult position.
Tong's mother nudged her, "Go ahead and hit him, it's rare for your dad to be so happy."
Helpless, Tong Xiaohuai had no choice but to follow her parents' instructions and make the call.
By the time she finished her call, Boss Tong had already returned after inspecting the wine.
"Xiao Yan, this is good wine. Don't leave tonight, have a few drinks with us."
Yan Bo was already mentally prepared, "Uncle Tong, of course."
Before dinner was served, Yanbo picked up the file folder on the coffee table and handed it to Boss Tong.
Boss Tong looked puzzled. "What?"
Tong Xiaohuai was also curious about what it was. "Dad, Yanbo said it's a contract of servitude. It's too expensive, so we won't sell it. Our family doesn't need anyone else."
Yan Bo looked up at her meaningfully, "Really not lacking?"
Boss Tong glanced at his daughter with interest. “To be honest, we don’t lack bodyguards or drivers, but there is one position we do need.”
Tong Xiaohuai wasn't stupid; after understanding the unspoken meaning behind Yan Bo and her father's words, her face immediately turned red again.
Tong Laoda smirked slightly, "Look at you, so pathetic!"
Her precious daughter was clearly completely under Yan Bo's thumb. Fortunately, Yan Bo was a responsible person.
Tong Xiaohuai blushed and turned around, then walked over to her mother and sat down next to her.
Tong Laoda took out a stack of documents from the file bag and looked at them carefully.
After seeing the title at the top, he looked up at Yan Bo with slight surprise.
"Xiao Yan, what's wrong?"
Yan Bo then spoke up to express his gratitude, "Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong, thank you for your trust and help. The current asset value of Yanhuang is clearly written here, so according to the amount Xiao Huai transferred to me this afternoon, I converted it into corresponding shares. Is that correct?"
Upon hearing this, Tong Xiaohuai, who was sitting next to Tong's mother, couldn't sit still any longer. "Yanbo, when did I ever say I wanted Yanhuang's shares?"
Tong Laoda remained silent, giving Tong Xiaohuai a look that said "be patient," and then signaled Yan Bo to continue.
"Xiao Yan, tell me, what are you thinking?"
Now that Yanbo had prepared the document, he must have had a clear idea in mind.
“Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong, this is no small amount of money. Of course, Xiao Huai and I have already decided to spend our lives together, but before we officially register our marriage, I need to give her some security, right? From now on, Xiao Huai will be in charge of all these shares. When the company’s funds are more readily available, Xiao Huai can choose to take back the funds according to the shares, or she can choose to continue holding the shares. I respect your decision. If Xiao Huai wants to participate in the management of Yanhuang, I would welcome her to do so.”
Tong Xiaohuai was a little anxious. After Yan Bo finished speaking, she opened her mouth to say something, but Tong Laoda interrupted her first.
"Well, what Xiao Yan said is true. Of course, we believe you will always treat Xiao Huai well, but things are unpredictable. This is indeed a guarantee for Xiao Huai."
"Dad!" Tong Xiaohuai was anxious. Her original intention was to help Yan Bo for free, not to take advantage of his misfortune to seize his company.
Yan Bo gave her a deep look. "Xiao Huai, I know you want to help me! I'm not doing this to reject your kindness."
Tong Xiaohuai frowned slightly. "Yan Bo, Yanhuang is your life's work. Your actions make me seem like I have ulterior motives!"
Yanbo looked at her and said, "Xiaohuai, Yanhuang is indeed my company, but it has become a company that you and I share, which makes it even more meaningful to me. I think I will work harder to run this company than before, because it is like a child to you and me."
Tong Xiaohuai was stunned. She never expected that Yan Bo would use the definition of their shared child to describe Yan Huang.
While she was still in a daze, Boss Tong quickly flipped through the documents in his hand and roughly read through the agreement.
"Xiao Huai, sign the agreement!"
After reading it, he handed the agreement to Tong Xiaohuai.
"Dad!" Tong Xiaohuai glared angrily at Tong Laoda, "You didn't make such a request during the day!"
Yan Bo quickly said, "Xiao Huai, this is absolutely not Uncle Tong's idea, it's my own thought. I really feel that this is good for both of us. Think about it, for the sake of our child, how could I dare to be even slightly negligent?"
Boss Tong nodded. "That's right, I agree with Xiao Yan. A man can only do better when he has a sense of responsibility!"
Tong Xiaohuai turned to look at her mother, hoping she would say a word for her.
Tong's mother patted her hand and said, "Xiao Huai, I also think Xiao Yan and your father are right. Let's sign the agreement."
"Xiao Huai, hurry up and sign the agreement. I'll have a lawyer notarize it tomorrow."
