Chapter 983 A Disguised Blind Date Banquet
Tongyao KTV has been operating on a 24-hour shift system for over a month, and its revenue has been steadily increasing. Tong Xiaohuai attributes this success to Li Lin.
Since they have made contributions, they should be commended.
With the bank's accounts now fully audited, Tong Xiaohuai had some free time, so she asked Qin Ming to arrange a dinner with all the managers.
"Dad, I have a dinner appointment with my supervisor tomorrow night. Do you want to come?"
After thinking for a moment, Boss Tong shook his head.
"No, I'll go to the opera with your mom tomorrow night."
When Tong Laoda first came back, he would accompany Tong Xiaohuai to inspect the venues, but recently he has completely abandoned all responsibility.
He spends all his time eating, drinking, and having fun with Tong's mother, as if he wants to make up for all the things he didn't have time to do with her in the past few decades.
"Oh, then you two enjoy watching it. I'll bring you some snacks back for a late-night treat later."
Tong Xiaohuai didn't force them; in fact, she even offered to bring them a late-night snack.
But her thoughtfulness was immediately rejected by Boss Tong, "No need, your mother and I have booked a yacht cruise tonight, and after the opera, we'll go along the river to enjoy the night view."
Tong Xiaohuai looked on with envy, "Tsk tsk, you two are over a hundred years old combined, how romantic! Showing off your love in front of me, aren't you ashamed?"
"You can also have Xiao Yan come with you, just don't stay overnight at his house!"
Although Boss Tong has accepted Yan Bo, he still holds firm to certain bottom lines.
"We're still in the struggle stage right now; there's plenty of time for enjoyment later."
Tong Xiaohuai was very open-minded. She was busy, and Yan Bo was busy too. There was no need to disrupt each other's work plans for the sake of so-called romance.
She was on the phone with Yan Bo in bed that night, and casually brought up the matter during their conversation. However, Yan Bo didn't quite agree with her.
"Xiao Huai, you can tell me where you want to go. We are not machines. Appropriate relaxation and entertainment are good for our physical and mental health."
"I don't want to go anywhere. Aren't I going to the neighboring city next week?"
"Okay, after I finish these two projects, I'll take you abroad for a few days after the Spring Festival. You can think about where you want to go."
The temperature has plummeted in the past two days, approaching zero degrees Celsius. Tong Xiaohuai wrapped the quilt tightly, like a silkworm cocoon, with only her head and hands sticking out of the quilt.
"Okay, let me think about it. By the way, I've invited several senior managers to dinner tomorrow night, do you want to come?"
Yanbo had met these managers individually, but he had never seen them all together.
"No, I have to have dinner with a high-ranking leader tomorrow, maybe next time."
Although Yanbo is the boss, there are always some people he can't afford to offend.
"Okay, then call me again when it's convenient. I don't know what time my parents will be back." Tong Xiaohuai still spoke with great envy.
"It probably won't be soon. The big boss has been acting a bit strange lately, talking a lot and nagging." Yan Bo seemed very helpless.
If this had happened in the past, Tong Xiaohuai certainly wouldn't have thought much of it.
But now, she could roughly imagine that the big leader had probably become Yan Zhong's mouthpiece, constantly putting pressure on Yan Bo and doing ideological work.
"Okay, then you should go to sleep early. I don't know how late I'll have to keep you company tomorrow night."
Tong Xiaohuai didn't ask Yan Bo for any confirmation. She never wanted to talk much about his parents, so as not to put undue pressure on Yan Bo.
After hanging up the phone, Tong Xiaohuai rolled the blanket up even tighter, her mind filled with images of Yan Zhong and Yan's mother.
...
Yan Bo and Di Xu arrived at the reserved private room nearly half an hour early. While waiting for the big boss, the two took out a stack of documents and studied them carefully.
When they heard the knocking, Yan Bo and Di Xu quickly got up and opened the door to greet them. In addition to the big boss and his secretary, there was also a girl who looked to be in her early twenties.
"Xiao Yan, this is the daughter of an old colleague of mine. She just returned from abroad, and her father asked me to look after her. Would you mind coming over for a meal?"
Upon hearing the leader's words, Yan Bo felt a sudden unease.
It wasn't that he was overthinking it; it was just that his father was incredibly skilled at dealing with people.
"No problem at all, please have a seat, sir. Hello, miss, my name is Yan Bo, may I ask your name?"
Although he knew the high-ranking leader was acting as a matchmaker, he still couldn't disregard basic etiquette.
"Xiao Yan, her name is Dai Fu. She's the same age as you, and she's your junior sister!"
Yan Bo quickly searched his memory for important officials with the surname Dai that he knew, and soon he locked onto a target.
Governor of Province C, Dai Chaoyang.
"Hello, Miss Dai, please have a seat."
Dai Fu was a little shy, but she greeted him with a smile, "Hello, senior brother, I've heard so much about you!"
Seeing the two of them standing there, the senior leader helped Dai Fu sit down next to Yan Bo, supporting her shoulders.
After everyone sat down for a while, while Di Xu was greeting everyone, Yan Bo got up and went to the restroom.
He made a phone call from outside, and the person on the other end of the line told him with certainty, "Yes, Dai Chaoyang does have a daughter named Dai Fu, who is currently studying abroad at the same university as you."
Yan Bo received an affirmative answer and returned to the dinner table without making a sound.
Originally, Yan Bo and Di Xu thought that the big boss had invited him out to dinner because of the overpass issue. Before the meal, they had prepared a lot of materials to deal with the problem.
Right now, those documents are of no use.
The words and actions of the senior leader clearly told Yanbo that this dinner was actually a disguised blind date.
Since entering the room, the big boss and his secretary had been constantly asking Di Xu about the various aspects of Yanhuang.
As for Dai Fu, Yan Bo naturally took care of and received her.
Dave is a very pretty girl, the kind of cute girl. She speaks politely and gently, and you can tell that she has a very good upbringing.
Given her background, it's clear that she was the most suitable daughter-in-law for the Yan family in her parents' eyes.
Unfortunately, Yanbo wasn't interested in girls who were so rigid and bland.
Of course, even if he had no interest, he couldn't afford to slight the girl in front of everyone.
Moreover, judging from the girl's words, it seems that she, like Yan Bo, was kept in the dark.
Even now, she still doesn't realize that this is a blind date dinner.
Ke Yanbo could tell that she was quite interested in him.
The two chatted about some interesting things about school life, and as if it were a casual conversation, Yanbo said to Daifu.
"Miss Dai, I think you look a bit like my girlfriend!"
Dave's expression froze slightly. "Huh?"
Perhaps they didn't understand how the topic had somehow involved the other person's girlfriend?
Yan Bo didn't care about anything else. He took out his wallet, pulled out a photo of himself and Tong Xiaohuai with their heads close together, and handed it to Dai Fu.
"Look!"
In fact, Dai Fu and Tong Xiaohuai look nothing alike.
Yanbo just wanted to take this opportunity to tell her that he had a girlfriend, so that he could put an end to her thoughts as soon as possible.
