Chapter 827: Chapter 826: This Third Young Master Is Decent

As for the man before her, the third Young Master Yan, compared to the Young Master of the Lin Family, he was like a dragon and phoenix among people, clearly not on the same level.

"Uncle Lin, in fact, a man’s considerateness toward a woman is not necessarily just to please her, but also a form of respect."

Tong Xiaohua subconsciously defended Yan Bo, of course, she was not unaware that Yan Bo was deliberately trying to please her, but she could also feel that Yan Bo’s own cultivation was qualitatively different from the Lin Family Young Master’s pretentious style.

Just like the thinly veiled sarcasm from Boss Lin earlier, it was simply not suitable for public display. If he wanted to pursue her, he should let his son show some real skills. To have the father stepping in to chase after a girl, how mortifying!

Boss Lin hadn’t expected Tong Xiaohua to speak up for Yan Bo and felt a bit awkward for a moment. He chuckled dryly twice and passed his wine glass to Yan Bo.

"Indeed, let’s drink to the gentlemanly character of the third Young Master!"

Yan Bo was also somewhat surprised. In his view, pursuing Tong Xiaohua was a long and arduous journey, and at this point, he had only taken the first step. He was prepared for all sorts of embarrassment and difficulties along the way.

But unexpectedly, on the very first day, Tong Xiaohua had already spoken well of him.

It seemed that the risk he took today was worth it.

However, although he himself felt that the risk paid off, others did not necessarily think the same.

No sooner had he finished dealing with Boss Lin than his mobile phone rang. He stepped aside to take it out and look, and to his surprise, it was Secretary Ye.

"Secretary Ye, hello!"

Although Yan Bo hadn’t followed his father’s wishes to pursue a career in politics, since he had settled in L City, the local political figure, Secretary Ye, had taken him under his wing as his responsibility. Yan Bo, of course, understood the intricate relationships involved, and thus, he had always maintained a lukewarm relationship with Secretary Ye.

"Third Young Master, I hear you’ve gone to Tong Village?"

Yan Bo raised his eyebrows slightly at this.

It seemed that L City was quite peaceful lately, for even his visit to Tong Village was known to Secretary Ye. Could it be that he was under surveillance?

"Yes, I’m still here," Yan Bo didn’t see this as something secretive.

But clearly, others didn’t see it that way, at least Secretary Ye didn’t.

"This..." Secretary Ye hesitated for a moment, although he was the official parent figure of L City, he didn’t want to provoke the third Yan Family Young Master.

"Third Young Master, this might not be all that appropriate after all. Think about the implications..."

Yan Bo was mild-mannered, but that didn’t mean he was indecisive or weak. What he did, whether good or bad, never required others’ judgment, nor did he care about their opinions.

"Secretary Ye, I’m just an ordinary businessman, what’s this about implications? Moreover, what’s wrong with Tong Village?"

His words left Secretary Ye at a loss for words.

"Secretary Ye, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first."

After finishing speaking, Yan Bo indeed hung up on Secretary Ye’s phone call.

As for his own affairs, even his father and elder brother didn’t have the right to interfere, so what about Secretary Ye, an outsider, so arrogantly pointing fingers at him, just who did he think he was?

The mocking smile in Yan Bo’s eyes flashed by as he turned around, returning to the crowd with a warm expression on his face.

Originally, Yan Bo had planned to stay at the cocktail party until the very end before leaving. However, not long after hanging up on Secretary Ye, he received a call from his assistant saying there was a troublesome issue that required his immediate attention at the company, and so he had no choice but to say goodbye to Tong Xiaohua and her father and hurried back to the company.

"Girl, what do you think, isn’t that third Young Master Yan quite alright?"

After Yan Bo left, Mr. Tong quietly asked his daughter.

Tong Xiaohua’s impression of Yan Bo was still extremely favorable. However, where did she have the mind to think about such things now?

The very burden of the Tong Family was enough to trouble her!

"Dad, have you and mom decided not to go on a trip abroad?"

Old Tong was startled, "Huh? When did I say we were not going?"

"Then why are you hinting me towards this third Young Master Yan? There’s so much I need to do next; when would I have the time to entertain this young master? Unless, Dad, you give up your wonderful vacation with mom and let me enjoy a bit of romance!"

Old Tong’s face showed a hint of guilt. After all, his precious daughter had just graduated from a local high school, and with above-average grades, she got accepted into the Business Administration Department at L University. Now, with the start of school just a few days away and his daughter holding down two jobs, she indeed barely had any free time for romance.

"Ahem... well..."

Tong Xiaohua successfully shut her father up, turned around to grab some food to fill her stomach, having entertained guests for the better part of the morning, she was ravenous. If it weren’t for Yan Bo bringing her a plate of cake earlier, she probably would have fainted from hunger at the cocktail party by now.

Compared like this, it seemed that Yan Bo had his advantages over someone blunt and straightforward like her father.

...

For two whole days, Tong Xiaohua had followed Old Tong around to various stores owned by the Tong Family. She had been to these shops before, but back then, she had been there as the Miss and her grandfather’s attendant without much of a say.

But now, over these two days, Old Tong was not the one giving commands or making decisions; it had become Tong Xiaohua, with Old Tong acting as an advisor and attendant.

"Boss, several supervisors submitted their raise requests this morning for your review."

The man in charge of the gambling city’s area was named Fei Gang, who had been following Old Tong for almost twenty years. Upon seeing Old Tong and Tong Xiaohua, he habitually reported to Old Tong.

Old Tong shot him a look, "Ah Gang, I’m no longer the boss here."

Fei Gang then realized his mistake, apologetically handing the several applications to Tong Xiaohua, "Miss, please take a look."

Tong Xiaohua took the applications, glanced at them, and handed them back to Fei Gang.

"Uncle Gang, you handle it. I have no objections," she said.

The contents of the applications were all the same, only the signatures differed, and it was clear that these supervisors intended to challenge the authority of their new boss.

Fei Gang took the applications back, his face showing difficulty, "Miss, is that really okay?"

Tong Xiaohua firmly replied, "What’s not okay about it? These matters were previously decided by you, Uncle Gang, and that remains the same now."

Aside from the supervisors looking to challenge her, it was evident that Fei Gang was also testing her. It may not have been a malicious test, but rather a tactic to find a way to cooperate with the new boss.

As expected, the look of difficulty on Fei Gang’s face vanished, and he confidently responded, "Alright, I’ll take care of it!"

"Xiao Hua, you handled that well just now!"

As soon as they got into the car, Old Tong couldn’t help but express his approval of his daughter’s actions.

"Dad, I know, stabilizing morale as I start my role is more important than anything."

An individual’s capabilities are limited; it is those who can utilize talents wisely that can achieve great things.

All this, Tong Xiaohua understood.

"Hmm, take your time. Dad’s judgment is not too bad," he said.

Implicit in his words was that those capable of handling matters under his command were all trustworthy people.
