Yan Bo rested peacefully at the Tong family's house, and Yan Yuan gave a reply a couple of days later, saying that the matter had been resolved.
The boss of the construction company instigated his employees to cause trouble. The boss and the employees who caused the trouble have been arrested in accordance with the law and are awaiting trial.
The following day, the construction company published an apology statement on the front page of L City, stating that Yanhuang Company and Yanbo were innocent victims of the farce they orchestrated, and that they were willing to compensate Yanhuang and Yanbo for all material and emotional losses.
Meanwhile, the construction company quickly selected a new acting general manager. After the announcement, the acting general manager immediately led several key personnel to L City.
Yan Bo was recovering from his injuries at the Tong family's house when he received a call from the acting boss. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he learned that the other party had arrived in L City and wanted to come over to discuss the next steps of the cooperation. Yan Bo was quite blunt.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I'm still recovering at home and can't return to the company for the time being. Please leave now!"
"Mr. Yan, we were wrong about this. We can discuss the price further until you are satisfied."
Yan Bo was too lazy to waste words with him, so he lied and said he had a headache, and hung up the phone directly.
About ten minutes later, Di Xu called.
"Boss, Mr. Chen has lowered the price by 20%. Should we continue negotiating with him?"
It can be said that Di Xu and Yan Bo have developed a tacit understanding that is unmatched by others during their nearly one year of cooperation.
Yanbo, of course, didn't really not want to talk to the other party. After all, their project was nearly a third complete, and if they switched to another construction company at this point, there would be a whole host of troubles. All things considered, it would do more harm than good.
The construction company had caused such a huge incident. If Yanhuang terminated their contract, they would not only have to pay a large sum of money, but they would also likely find themselves with no one willing to cooperate with them in the future.
Therefore, they would rather lose money on this project than have Yanhuang terminate the contract with them directly.
Yan Bo had not mentioned any of these advantages and disadvantages to Di Xu beforehand.
But when General Manager Chen called Di Xu, Di Xu immediately understood his boss's intention. So, after arguing with the other party for a while, he said that he couldn't make the decision on his own and had to consult with his boss first.
"Lower it by another 25%. If it's higher than that, we'll terminate the contract." Yan Bo had already calculated in his mind that this price was probably the bottom line the other party could accept.
Even if the price is lowered, the other party will probably still reluctantly agree, but whether they will pull some tricks afterward is hard to say.
"Furthermore, our company will send someone to participate in their construction work from start to finish until the project is completed."
Yanbo explained everything clearly and then hung up the phone.
Around 4 p.m., Yan Bo had just finished a pleasant afternoon nap when Di Xu called.
"Boss, all done!"
"Boss, you didn't get away with hitting your head like that. The company has saved a lot of money now."
Yan Bo said helplessly, "Try not letting someone smash it on you?"
"I don't have your arrogance, boss. Smashing this would be pointless!"
Di Xu's words were, of course, the truth.
If this had happened to an ordinary person, the outcome would have been very different.
Anyone with eyes can see that if Yan Yuan hadn't been putting pressure on them, the construction company could have easily shifted the blame to that unfortunate employee. There would have been no need for such a complicated situation, resulting in the boss losing money and the company having to pay compensation.
Yanhuang ultimately won the incident. Although Yanbo was ordered to stay home to recover from his injuries by the Tong family and Yanyuan, he was actually a restless person. He obediently rested at the Tong family for four or five days and returned to work at Yanhuang on Monday.
At the end of the year, both Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohuai were busy with one thing after another. Although they lived under the same roof, they didn't actually see each other very often each day.
As Yanhuang's business expanded and the year-end approached, Yanbo's social engagements increased dramatically, and he often didn't return to the Tong family until one or two in the morning.
Tong Xiaohuai herself was extremely busy, but she knew that Yan Bo had a lot of social engagements lately, so she asked Uncle Yuan to brew some hangover tea for her every night. If she got home early, she would usually wait for him in the living room while reading a book under the covers.
On his first night back at the Tong family home, Yan Bo returned without knowing anything about the situation. He pushed open the door and saw a dim light in the living room, assuming it was a nightlight that Uncle Yuan had left on for him.
But when he came out of the entrance hall, he saw a bulge on the sofa. Upon closer inspection, he saw Tong Xiaohuai curled up in the quilt and asleep.
Yanbo had drunk quite a bit, and his company employees brought him back. Besides feeling extremely dizzy, he also felt like vomiting.
But when he saw the person on the sofa, his previously dizzy body inexplicably calmed down, and his restless heart felt as if it had found a reliable place to stay, and suddenly felt at ease.
He slowed his pace and walked over, squatted down in front of the sofa, reached out, and touched her face.
In the dim light, Tong Xiaohuai lay on her side, her hands clasped under her head. Her eyes were tightly closed, her long, curled eyelashes casting a row of shadows on her face. Her straight, delicate nose trembled slightly with her breathing, and her thin, slightly upturned lips were slightly parted, exhaling a thin, even breath.
The scene before him was peaceful and beautiful. Yan Bo carefully leaned closer and gently kissed her slightly parted lips.
The movement was as light as a breeze, not even causing the wind chimes hanging by the window to twitch.
I was afraid of ruining this exquisite painting.
Just as he thought he had stolen a sweet kiss and was about to leave, the seemingly sleeping beauty suddenly opened her mouth, her pearly teeth slightly parted, and bit his lips.
A thought flashed through Yan Bo's mind: This girl was pretending to be asleep!
However, whether they were pretending to be asleep or not was irrelevant at this moment, because they only needed to enjoy this passionate kiss that belonged to them.
Tong Xiaohuai, who had taken the initiative, was quickly overtaken by Yan Bo. Slightly drunk, Yan Bo's kiss was incredibly passionate. He ravaged her lips until she was panting, then his lips moved from her lips to her chin and collarbone...
With only a sliver of reason left, Tong Xiaohuai thought he was finally about to lose control, but he suddenly straightened up, propped himself up on the sofa, and with firm but slow hands, buttoned back on the buttons he had unbuttoned, one by one, from bottom to top.
Tong Xiaohuai, her body aroused by his teasing, raised her hand to touch his face, her fingertips sliding from his eyebrows to his lips. She bit her lip and, after much deliberation, whispered something.
"Actually, I can do it..."
A glint of light flickered in Yan Bo's dark eyes. He grasped the hand that was pressed against his lips and gently kissed it.
"Xiao Huai, you don't need to do this..."
Yes, she didn't need that, because in his heart, she deserved better treatment and respect!
