Chapter 879: Chapter 876: Gentle because of Her (Four Updates)

The secretary, who entered with a pot of coffee in hand, whispered to Yan Bo as she poured him some coffee.

"Boss, there’s a Miss Tong waiting for you in the reception room outside."

Yan Bo looked at her in surprise, "Who did you say?"

"Miss Tong, quite beautiful," the secretary said with a smile as she looked at her boss.

The secretary was Miss Guo, just over forty. She had always admired her young boss, who was young enough to be her son.

Usually, she would tease the young and promising boss about waiting for her 15-year-old daughter, so that she could become the boss’s mother-in-law.

Most of the teasing was somewhat earnest, and Miss Guo felt a slight sense of loss this time, thinking that she might not have the chance to become the boss’s mother-in-law after all.

Yan Bo, who was always calm and focused on work, stood up suddenly after hearing the secretary’s comments, walked to the door, then turned back to instruct Di Xu, "Discuss the next planning requirements with everyone."

After giving his instructions, Yan Bo walked out with long strides.

Di Xu, who had been assigned the task, was fully drawn in by his innate curiosity and Miss Guo’s words, and he poked her arm with his pen, "Hey, is she really that beautiful?"

Miss Guo nodded, "Yes, she’s truly beautiful, and moreover, she has an excellent demeanor, looking every bit the lady from a distinguished family."

There was no denying that Tong Xiaohua’s appearance was indeed deceptive. Judging by her behavior alone, no one would associate her with being the daughter of an underworld family.

No, to be precise, she had now become the formidable gangster boss herself.

"I wonder from which wealthy family she comes?"

Di Xu stroked his chin thoughtfully but after pondering for a while, he couldn’t recall any prominent families surnamed Tong in L City.

"I don’t know, but she doesn’t seem to be from out of town," Miss Guo was just as curious about the origins of this Miss Tong.

The two gossipmongers couldn’t guess that Miss Tong indeed came from a big household, not a noble one, but a gangster one.

While the conference room was abuzz with curiosity and gossip, Yan Bo, who had left the room, hurried to the reception room.

Initially, he had been concerned that Miss Guo was teasing him, but as he entered the reception room and saw Tong Xiaohua sitting properly on the sofa, he confirmed it was true.

"Xiao Hua, weren’t you supposed to meet friends for fun this afternoon, how come you have time to drop by?"

At this moment, Yan Bo just assumed that Tong Xiaohua happened to be passing by and came down to see him as an aside.

"They had something come up suddenly after lunch and scattered, and I didn’t have any plans, so I came up to take a look around," she said.

Yan Bo was very pleased, handed her a beverage, and then led her out.

At this time, most of the supervisors were in the meeting, while other staff, upon seeing the boss walking with a beautiful woman around the company, didn’t dare say anything to their faces. But once the two walked away, they all started whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

"That Miss is so beautiful, she matches our boss so well. Tsk tsk, although I hate to admit it, I’m totally convinced after losing to her," they said.

"Oh please, as if without her you’d have a chance. Just pair up with me; we’re a good match too," came the retort.

Yan Bo was unaware of the staff’s laughter and gossiping within Yanhuang, and he didn’t know that after he showed Tong Xiaohua around the company, everyone who had seen her basically assumed she was the boss’s girlfriend.

Because ever since the company had opened, there had been more than a few beauties coming to see the boss, all from the big families of L City, yet none of them had ever received the honor of being personally shown around the company by the boss himself.

Only today’s visit was different—the boss had personally escorted her, and throughout the tour, the boss had an indulgent expression. The way he looked at the young beauty was so tender it seemed as if water might drip from his eyes.

In the eyes of Yanhuang’s staff, although the boss was always gentle in manner, he was never soft. Everyone knew that behind his gentleness was a decisiveness that brooked no argument. He was clear-cut and resolute in both rewarding and disciplining.

Thus, after Tong Xiaohua appeared, the female staff in their twenties at Yanhuang Company had come to understand one thing.

The boss’s gentleness was a form of cultivation and refinement. Moreover, he could show his gentlemanly behavior to all the female staff at Yanhuang, but his tender gaze was reserved only for Tong Xiaohua.

"Tired?"

After giving Tong Xiaohua a tour of the two floors, Yan Bo led her into his office, and with the back of his hand, gently closed the door.

Taking advantage of the moment he closed the door, Tong Xiaohua scanned his office.

His office, like his company, was styled in a simple and clear-cut fashion.

There were no superfluous or luxurious arrangements, everything present was practical.

This made it clear that he really was an extremely low-profile person.

"Not tired, the tour was very enlightening."

Tong Xiaohua didn’t wait for Yan Bo to invite her, and walked over to the small reception area in front of the desk and sat down on the sofa.

"How so?"

Yan Bo walked over, poured a glass of water for her, handed it to her, and then sat down opposite her.

"Many of our storefronts opt for a luxury style."

Previously, Tong Xiaohua hadn’t thought there was anything wrong with this and even felt it was the norm. People judge by appearance, and a business or store obviously needs a corresponding high-class layout and decor to match.

"There’s nothing wrong with that!"

Yan Bo leaned forward from the coffee table to pick up his cup, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, before continuing.

"Yanhuang is an industrial company, so the layout and decorations don’t need to be too extravagant. As I always say, instead of spending money on things that are flashy but not practical, I’d rather spend that money on the staff."

"But as for the Tong Family’s industries, they’re mainly in the entertainment industry, right? Luxury and grandeur represent a high-end status, so there’s nothing wrong with that."

Their conversation was quite serious and earnest.

Yet, they themselves felt it all very normal.

Just then, Di Xu, who was extremely curious and had been eager after finishing a meeting, couldn’t wait to knock on the door.

After being invited in, Di Xu was startled by the question Yan Bo threw at him as soon as he entered.

"Di Xu, what do you think about the decor of the Tong Family’s nightclub bars?"

Di Xu didn’t react immediately, "Huh?"

What exactly was going on? He had clearly come to gossip, so why was the boss asking him such a strange question?

Was it because he appeared as an unwelcome third wheel?

"This is, the current boss of the Tong Family, Tong Xiaohua, and at the same time, she is also your junior. Come, tell her your thoughts."

Obviously, Yan Bo still remembered that Tong Xiaohua greatly admired this senior from the same school.

However, Di Xu knew nothing!
