Chapter 937: Chapter 934: Is She the Boss Lady Now?
Lunch for the two was at a Chinese restaurant, because Yan Bo had said earlier that he had things to do in the afternoon, so the meal was finished with incredible speed.
Apart from snuggling and kissing before the dishes arrived, Yan Bo thereafter followed proper etiquette and quickly finished his meal. Seeing that it was about time, he said goodbye to Tong Xiaohua, got into the car specially sent to pick him up, and headed straight to the clubhouse to meet his client.
Di Xu, the special assistant, then took on the role of the driver.
"Boss, seeing how clingy you are to Miss Tong, are you planning some big event?"
Originally, his words were but a tease.
After all, his boss was only twenty years old, with his career on the rise. It was perfectly fine to date, but marriage would be far too premature.
Once married, whether in terms of responsibility or moral obligation, it’s different from dating. Sometimes when you want to let loose outside, having someone at home always holds you back, and no man would like that.
But how could he know that his boss, who always longed for a warm family life, would in others’ eyes not see having a "worn-out wife" at home as a restraint, but as happiness?
"I wish I could, but it’s just not the right time!"
Di Xu turned his head in surprise to look at his boss. During the fair amount of time he had been with Yan Bo, it was the first time he saw such a wistful expression on the boss’s face.
Could it be that the boss really wanted to marry Miss Tong sooner rather than later?
Di Xu, stunned by this explosive revelation, took a while to come to his senses before responding, "Boss, is that little junior of mine, she is going to be my ’boss lady’?"
Yan Bo nodded without a moment’s hesitation, "Yes, it’s her!"
Di Xu’s mouth hung open for a good while before he managed to recover from his shock. He really hadn’t expected that his boss was not only decisive and efficient in business but just as ruthless in love!
Meanwhile, after saying goodbye to Yan Bo at the restaurant, Tong Xiaohua had her driver take her to Li Lin.
At this time, Lullaby KTV was naturally not open for business. She was going only because Li Lin called to say he had something to discuss and wanted to see when she was free. Then, she wanted to check on the renovation progress of the sauna, so she simply asked Li Lin to wait for her in the KTV, and had her driver take her there.
Li Lin was someone who understood the times. Since Tong Xiaohua agreed to oversee his sauna project, he had always been extremely polite and respectful toward her. Whether his attitude was sincere or pretentious was yet to be determined.
This time, he was waiting in the parking lot early in the morning; seeing Tong Xiaohua’s car drive in, he jogged over and opened the back seat door for her.
"Miss!"
Tong Xiaohua, having just seen Yan Bo, was naturally in a great mood and beamed on the surface. She nodded with a smile as she got out of the car.
"Li Lin, what did you want to talk to me about?"
Tong Xiaohua sat down in the VIP Room and took the hot tea personally brewed by Li Lin. Without even sipping the tea, she went straight to the point.
"Miss, I have an idea I’d like to propose to you; let me know if it’s feasible."
Li Lin was still standing, his expression was one of sincere respect.
Tong Xiaohua gestured with her chin to the sofa opposite, indicating for him to take a seat.
In fact, if she weren’t the daughter of the Tong Family patriarch, positioned by seniority and generation, she indeed would have called Li Lin ’Brother Li’.
Due to this, the supervisors of Li Lin’s generation felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts after she took the position of boss.
It was the same case for Li Lin and Fei Gang.
However, Li Lin came to her senses quickly. After last time’s frame-up, Tong Xiaohua first intimidated her and then won her over with the idea of redeeming her faults with merits; since then, Li Lin had been very obedient to Tong Xiaohua.
Nevertheless, Tong Xiaohua was not so naïve. In her eyes, Li Lin was now on a probationary period at school.
Let’s see how she performs before determining her future.
"Miss, regarding the operating hours of our KTV, I think, could we operate around the clock? After all, the equipment is there, so why not use it?"
During that time, the KTV industry mostly operated like this, running from 7 or 8 in the evening until 2 or 3 in the morning. But with significant investments made in KTV equipment, to use it so infrequently seemed quite wasteful.
Tong Xiaohua always focused on the bigger picture and usually followed the supervisors’ advice on specific operations.
Thus, Li Lin’s suggestion piqued her interest.
"Oh? If we were to operate all day, what are your thoughts?"
After speaking, she took a sip of her hot tea and looked at Li Lin, clearly interested in hearing more.
Encouraged, Li Lin spoke eloquently.
"Currently, the industry is accustomed to thinking that KTV is merely a place for nightlife entertainment, but in reality, from my surveys, many young people have a huge demand in the late night or daytime. Of course, these working-class individuals or students might not have the spending power of nightlife customers, but since we’ve made the same investment in the venue and facilities, if we divide the operating hours into different segments and offer discounted rates for each period, wouldn’t our income potentially increase?"
Initially skeptical about Li Lin, Tong Xiaohua found his proposition obviously valuable. After all, in L City, it had become customary for KTVs to operate only for a few hours each day. If Lullaby KTV of the Tong Family offered this 24-hour service, undoubtedly, being the first to enjoy this "crab" meant reaping a rich reward.
Impressed, Tong Xiaohua smiled and said, "Li, your proposal is good. Write out a detailed plan for me. In the evening, Uncle Ming and I will discuss it with you."
Seeing the smile on Tong Xiaohua’s face, Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
He was genuinely worried that after doing such a despicable act, the sauna he was given by the Miss was just a small benefit to hold him over. Perhaps, once she gained strength, she would deal with him.
But now it seemed that if he truly dedicated himself, he still had a chance for redemption.
"Okay, I’ll write out my detailed ideas immediately."
Tong Xiaohua acknowledged with a "hm," and then she stood up.
Knowing she was busy and likely wanted to check the progress of the decoration at the sauna across the street, Li Lin quickly stood up as well.
"Thank you, Miss!"
Tong Xiaohua, who was already stepping out, turned her head and smiled at him again, "Li, you’ve worked hard managing Lullaby, and even when business is booming, you’re still willing to put in the effort to expand. I should be the one thanking you!"
Her words warmed Li Lin’s heart.
As they walked and talked, they reached the sauna across the street within minutes.
"Miss, this decoration company is very reliable. Not only is the progress fast, but the quality of the work is also strictly controlled. Based on their current pace, I estimate that they can deliver one month ahead of schedule."
