Yan Bo sat on the sofa, holding a teacup, motionless, his gaze following Tong Xiaohuai's tall figure from the living room to the doorway.
"Sister Xiaohuai, why don't you have a cup of tea and rest for a while before you leave?"
Manager Xiao caught up with her, trying his best to persuade her to stay.
He dared not offend Tong Xiaohuai, nor did he wish to offend Yan Bo.
He had long heard of how powerful this Young Master Yan was. When he met him today, he seemed like a very gentle person at first glance, but his inner aura made even a local scion like Young Master Ling look much smaller in front of him.
Having spent many years navigating the complexities of society, he sensed the aura of someone who had long held a high position from Young Master Yan.
Tong Xiaohuai turned to him and smiled, "Brother Xiao, thank you. I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
Tong Xiaohuai is straightforward. Although she was in a bad mood, she didn't have the habit of taking it out on others. Manager Xiao was so polite and courteous, she couldn't possibly treat him with a cold face.
Manager Xiao felt a pang of pain thinking about the 500,000 yuan. He wished that Young Master Yan hadn't mentioned investing to him earlier, so that he wouldn't have any expectations.
Just as he was about to send Tong Xiaohuai away, feeling dejected, Ling Qingyun, who had been sitting in the living room and hadn't said much, suddenly spoke up.
"Miss Tong, my brother greatly admires you. Would you do me the honor of sitting down for a cup of tea?"
Ling Qingyun originally didn't want to provoke Tong Xiaohuai, but he had just patted his chest and told Yan Bo to say whatever kind of person he liked. Now that Yan Bo had clearly expressed his interest in Tong Xiaohuai, he naturally had to say or do something to show his ability and sincerity.
Tong Xiaohuai was already eighteen years old and had a very good appearance, so it was impossible that she had never been approached by someone.
And usually, her only reaction to people who shamelessly strike up conversations with her is to do the same thing.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry!"
After saying that, she tossed her backpack aside, not bothering to look at what kind of "brother" Ling Qingyun was talking about, and opened the door to leave.
Most people would probably think she was faking it because of her reaction.
After all, the environment she lived in was, in the eyes of outsiders, a place filled with bloodshed and extravagance; to say that she was chaste and self-disciplined was simply a joke.
However, in reality, although she was already eighteen, she had never even had a proper relationship.
Why?
Because her father was only focused on grooming her as his successor, she had to spend most of her time traveling around with him, except for a small portion of her free time.
Moreover, given her status, none of the brothers in Tongjia Village would dare to make a move against her. Outsiders, upon hearing she was the daughter of a gang leader, would lose all courage; who would dare to pursue her?
Hearing the door slam shut, Ling Qingyun shrugged at Yan Bo, "Third Young Master, I'm sorry..."
Yan Bo smiled at him, put the cup on the coffee table, and then stood up.
"Let's go then!"
He had originally intended to invest some money in the boxing gym, but now he wasn't in the mood to discuss it anymore.
Ling Qingyun dared not say anything more, immediately got up with him, walked to the entrance, nodded to Manager Xiao as a farewell.
"Third Young Master, about the investment..." Manager Xiao asked fearlessly.
He knew the chances were slim, but no matter how slim, he had to try before he gave up hope.
Let's talk about it another day!
Yan Bo didn't rule out the possibility of investment, and he wasn't giving up on it; he just wasn't in the mood right now.
To be honest, he's only a twenty-year-old young man, and he's incredibly naive when it comes to matters of the heart.
The term "young" refers to both his age and his experience.
Despite his illustrious family background, he is by no means a spoiled brat. The Yan family has always had a very strict and orthodox upbringing. He went abroad to study at a young age and learned a lot about advanced business management. However, when it comes to the opposite sex, he retains the serious and cautious attitude of the Yan family.
"Third Young Master, Miss Tong has most likely already left."
Ling Qingyun exchanged a few pleasantries with Manager Xiao and walked out the door a step later than Yan Bo. Tong Xiaohuai was no longer in the corridor.
"Um……"
Yan Bo simply responded and walked straight to the elevator. Just then, the elevator doors opened, and he slipped inside. Only after Ling Qingyun rushed in did he press the close button.
Ling Qingyun couldn't discern any emotion from his face, so she didn't dare to bring up Tong Xiaohuai again. She simply asked, "Third Young Master, where would you like to go for some fun next? How about we go for a couple of drinks?"
Yan Bo shook his head gently, "No, I have a project to discuss early tomorrow morning, so I need to go back and get some sleep."
Ling Qingyun didn't dare to force him, so they both got into the car and she took him directly back to the Yanhuang Company building.
Yan Bo got out of the car and, seeing Ling Qingyun about to get out, quickly said, "Alright, I'm not a woman, I can get back by myself. Be careful on your way back, goodnight!"
Yan Bo closed the car door, waved to Ling Qingyun, and turned to walk into the building.
After Yanbo returned from abroad, he insisted on staying in L City. His father, in a fit of anger, cut off all of Yanbo's sources of income.
However, the money he earned during his years abroad far exceeded the amount in his father's private account, a fact his father probably didn't know.
He rented two floors in this building as offices, and his own residence was right next to his offices.
When Yan Bo returned to his residence, he didn't rush to take a shower. Instead, he leaned back on the sofa, took out his phone, and made a call.
"Uncle Luo, could you please help me look up someone?"
At the same time, Tong Xiaohuai, who had just left the boxing gym, had just returned to Tongjia Village. His car was parked at the gate, and as soon as he got out of the driver's seat, a figure flashed over.
"You brat, why are you driving yourself again? Where's the driver?"
The person who started cursing at her was her father. Outsiders called him Boss Tong, but the people of Tongjia Village simply dropped the "Tong" part and called him Boss.
"Dad, I'm tired, I want to sleep!"
Normally, if Tong Xiaohuai were to be lectured by Tong Laoda, she would usually argue back. But these past few days, she has been in a very low mood and has lost all interest in arguing.
Tong Laoda was slightly taken aback; he was actually a little unaccustomed to his daughter not arguing with him.
"Get out of here and go to sleep! You're so young, how can you be so fragile?"
He knew his beloved daughter had been spending her days at the boxing gym, but knowing she wouldn't have time to squander it soon, he couldn't bear to interfere with her final days of freedom.
In truth, how could he not want her to live a carefree life like a little princess? As long as he had a breath left, he wanted to shoulder this burden.
But my wife's test results came back recently, and the situation is not optimistic. The doctor suggested that she go abroad for treatment, and it would be best to do so as soon as possible!
His wife and daughter are both his flesh and blood, and he really can't bear to part with either of them. But if he had to choose, he could only temporarily hand over the burden to his daughter, while he accompanied his wife abroad for surgery.
