Chapter 890: Chapter 887: Xiao Hua, well done!

Fei Gang and the manager exchanged glances and did not immediately answer her question. Instead, they invited her into the office, poured her some hot tea, and placed it before her. "Miss, please have some tea first."

Tong Xiaohua took the tea, but didn’t drink it. Instead, she set it on the coffee table, folded her arms, and watched the two large men opposite her.

"So, how long will it take?" she asked.

The two men exchanged looks again, and finally, it was the manager who spoke, "Miss, it will probably take at least three days."

Tong Xiaohua hummed acknowledgment, and asked seriously, "Then, who do you think should bear the primary responsibility for this incident?"

Fei Gang kept quiet, but the manager, somewhat anxiously, said, "Miss, this kind of event is uncontrollable. It definitely shouldn’t be us who are responsible."

Tong Xiaohua turned her gaze towards Fei Gang, "What about you, Brother Fei, what do you think?"

Fei Gang was relatively more cautious and took a moment to answer, "We all bear some responsibility, but this indeed was uncontrollable. As for who holds the main responsibility, it’s really hard to say."

Tong Xiaohua laughed, "Brother Fei, do you think this was an uncontrollable event?"

Fei Gang hesitated a moment, did not answer, but the manager wasn’t afraid to die, "Miss, of course it was an uncontrollable event. Who would have thought that someone would come and smash up the place all of a sudden?"

Tong Xiaohua wore an inscrutable smile, her head tilted as she steadily observed the manager.

"Brother Fei, who is this?" she asked.

It was no surprise that Tong Xiaohua did not recognize the man, as the manager had just been promoted from a lower position.

"Xiao Qi..."

Tong Xiaohua stared at Xiao Qi, "Brother Xiao Qi, do you think we run a bakery?"

Xiao Qi did not immediately grasp the meaning of Tong Xiaohua’s words. Fei Gang tugged at him, but his defensive response had already slipped out.

"Of course not..."

"Right, we run a bank, and the money we earn is on the edge of a knife. But if our security personnel and facilities can’t even handle last night’s obscure street punks, do we still have the face to stand our ground here? Otherwise, we might as well pack up and scram right now! It would save us the trouble of getting our place smashed by street punks every other day!"

Xiao Qi was left speechless by Tong Xiaohua’s words, and Tong Xiaohua had no intention of listening to his explanations either. She stood up and gave Fei Gang her verdict with an icy face.

"Brother Fei, I don’t care how many days it will take to resume normal business, but the average daily turnover from last month plus all the losses from the smashing will be deducted from your bonus. As for Brother Xiao Qi here, have him roll out immediately!"

Having said her piece, Tong Xiaohua couldn’t be bothered to look at the expressions of the two men across from her and turned to leave.

On her way out, Tong Xiaohua received a call from Qin Ming.

"Xiao Hua, well done!"

As soon as the call connected, the robust voice of Uncle Ming came through.

"I thought I was going to get a good scolding from you, chastising me for being impatient and messing up the big picture."

"No, you played that move perfectly, killing the chicken to scare the monkey! I was afraid you would be too soft-hearted!"

"Uncle Ming, I remember all the lessons you’ve taught me!"

Because of the incident with Li Lin previously, Qin Ming thought Tong Xiaohua was prone to being soft-hearted, but her soft-heartedness always depended on the actual situation.

"Stop being a flatterer, your dad taught you all of this; I couldn’t have taught you."

When Qin Ming brought up her dad, Tong Xiaohua remembered, "Uncle Ming, I haven’t received a call from my parents in two days. Have you gotten a call from them?"

Although she had received a message from her dad before saying that the communication signals might be poor where they were going next and that they might not be able to get in touch for a while.

Tong Xiaohua had tried calling at different times during the past two days, only to receive voice messages stating that the phone was not in the service area.

"I don’t have it either, but you shouldn’t worry, your parents are adults, they can take care of themselves."

Even though Qin Ming offered such comfort, Tong Xiaohua couldn’t help but remain anxious. After hanging up Qin Ming’s call, she dialed her parents’ number again.

The phone still indicated that it was out of the service area, so Tong Xiaohua had no choice but to put the phone back into her bag.

Earlier on the phone, Qin Ming had said he was still out of town and wouldn’t make it back for lunch. He suggested that she either find Yan Bo to eat with or to simply grab something to eat on her own.

Tong Xiaohua glanced at the time, then at the area where her car was located, and decided to just find a place nearby to grab a bite to fill her stomach.

"Brother Yang, is there anything good to eat around here?"

Tong Xiaohua didn’t have many friends of her own. Usually, she would go out to eat with family or Uncle Ming and the others, so she was always just responsible for eating and never cared or remembered where was particularly good to eat.

"There are mostly noodle shops around here, Miss. Would you like some noodles?"

"Noodles aren’t bad, they’re quick and simple, and can fill you up."

Eating alone truly doesn’t require any sort of atmosphere, filling the stomach is the most important task.

Brother Yang parked the car in front of the noodle shop, got out to look around first to confirm there were no special circumstances, and then accompanied her into the noodle shop.

Once Tong Xiaohua settled down inside the noodle shop, the bodyguard who had been secretly protecting her quickly followed in and sat down beside her.

"Miss, Master Qin ordered me to be extra careful recently."

Tong Xiaohua nodded to show she understood.

"Brother Yang, you’re more familiar, you order for me."

Brother Yang knew she wasn’t picky with food, so he called the waitress over and ordered two bowls of secret recipe beef brisket noodles, one large and the other medium.

The noodles were served quickly, and Tong Xiaohua picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

It was around the same time as the usual lunch hour, but Tong Xiaohua felt especially hungry today.

Probably because dealing with Fei Gang had drained a lot of her energy and mental strength.

Tong Xiaohua’s bowl of noodles was soon empty. Brother Yang watched as she held the bowl and didn’t even spare the broth, and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Miss, shall I get you another small bowl?"

Tong Xiaohua shook her head, "No need, I’m full. I just thought the taste of the noodle soup here is really good, it would be a waste not to drink it."

At this moment, Tong Xiaohua was once again that straightforward young woman.

The phone rang just when Tong Xiaohua had finished the soup, wiping the grease from her mouth with a napkin.

Picking up the phone, she saw it was Yan Bo.

And the name for Yan Bo in her contacts, she had just discovered this morning, had been changed to "Boyfriend." Presumably, he had changed it last night when he was bringing her home and she had fallen asleep in the car.

Although she couldn’t help but feel her face heat up at the sight of the name, she had no desire to change it back.

"Hello, Yan Bo?"

"Yes, it’s me. Where are you?"

Yan Bo’s gentle voice came through, making Tong Xiaohua feel instantly as if she were basking in the warm sun of a spring day, warm from head to toe.

"I’m eating noodles in the North District..." Tong Xiaohua replied obediently, like a primary school student answering a teacher’s question.

Then, she heard his chuckling, "Tastes good?"
