Chapter 938: Chapter 935: Alright, you wait!

Tong Xiaohua thought about it. The decoration company, it was said, had a partnership with Yan Bo’s company. Now that the project was progressing quickly and the quality was excellent, she guessed that Yan Bo must have had a word with them.

So, after leaving the sauna, Tong Xiaohua sent a message to Yan Bo.

"The sauna is progressing very quickly and the quality is excellent, thank you!"

Knowing that Yan Bo had an extremely important client meeting in the afternoon, Tong Xiaohua naturally wouldn’t call to disturb him, so she sent a message.

At the clubhouse, Yan Bo was in the midst of entertaining a foreign businessman when his phone on the table vibrated several times. He glanced at it briefly but didn’t look.

It was not until the foreign businessman got up to go to the toilet that he picked up his phone, unlocked it, and upon seeing the content of the message, a glint flashed in his eyes.

"I don’t need empty praise, how will you thank me?"

He had been on guard, concerned that Li Lin would take advantage of Tong Xiaohua’s soft and easy-going nature when it came to the sauna’s renovation, but at that time, he and Tong Xiaohua were just friends.

Back then, he was very low-key. He wouldn’t even talk about receiving rewards, and if he helped, it was done discreetly, merely mentioning the partnership with the decoration company.

But now it was different, he and Tong Xiaohua were in a relationship. Some benefits shouldn’t be wasted if they don’t have to be, right?

He had just sent the message when he received a reply within moments. He had initially thought he would get a crisp and straightforward "Scram!" After all, Tong Xiaohua’s temperament was not really that tame.

But when he saw the brief reply, he was stunned for a moment and then his lips curved into a smile.

On the screen, there were only two words: As you wish!

Was this girl completely letting herself go?

By sending such a suggestive and enticing reply, wasn’t she afraid he might actually consider it as leverage to press for some excessive, naughty things?

Little did he know, Tong Xiaohua was certain that he was a gentleman.

She was also certain that he loved her dearly, so as long as she was unwilling, he would never force her to do anything.

In truth, after seeing her reply, Yan Bo’s mind indeed raced with many romantic thoughts, but in the end, that’s all they were — just thoughts.

He would never use them to coerce her into anything.

Besides, his original intention in doing all this was merely to protect her from Li Lin, to ensure she wasn’t bullied.

He never thought of using it as a bargaining chip for his own gains.

"Alright then, you wait!"

Yan Bo had just replied when the foreign businessman returned to his seat.

Sitting in the car on the way to the bank, Tong Xiaohua looked at the reply on her mobile phone and smiled with pursed lips.

"Alright, I’ll wait!"

The reply was as obedient as a harmless little white rabbit.

But she, what little white rabbit? In fact, she was a gangster boss.

Only an oddity like Yan Bo would find her adorable and silently do so much for her.

"Brother Yang, the first time you took your sister-in-law home, did she face any difficulties?"

At this moment, Tong Xiaohua was somewhat regretting her lack of courage to go home with him.

Brother Yang glanced at Tong Xiaohua through the rearview mirror, "Miss, since ancient times the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship has always been a big challenge. When I first brought my wife home, my mother had lots of complaints and wasn’t satisfied with anything."

Yang Ge’s words made Tong Xiaohua bite her lip and bow her head as if deep in thought.

Yang Ge was Tong Xiaohua’s personal chauffeur, who held her in reverence and also harbored a sisterly affection towards her.

Seeing her pensively hanging her head through the rearview mirror, Yang Ge couldn’t help but ask with concern, "What’s the matter? Is Young Master Yan ready to take you back to meet his parents?"

The fact that Yan Yuan was coming to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Tong, Tong Xiaohua’s parents, was something that Yang Ge, as the chauffeur, of course knew, and because of this, Yan Bo’s stock in Yang Ge’s heart had risen even further.

A man’s seriousness or playfulness can be gauged by his willingness to introduce his girlfriend to his friends and relatives.

Yan Bo took the initiative to do these things not long after they started dating, which showed that he was serious about being with the Miss for the long haul, rather than being like those rich young masters who were merely after novelty, just playing around.

Tong Xiaohua could have chosen not to answer Yang Ge’s question, but she somehow found herself nodding her head as if compelled by a ghost.

"Yes, he originally asked me to accompany him back to the Capital City..."

Yang Ge didn’t know that Yan Bo’s family background was so formidable, assuming his family held some minor official positions in the Capital City, but even if they were minor officials, that was a whole different path from Miss’s background.

By the measure of an ordinary family’s acceptance, the Miss probably wouldn’t be too well received.

But he couldn’t say such disheartening things.

"Since the Young Master has asked, surely he has his considerations."

Who Yan Bo was, even if Yang Ge didn’t fully understand, from his observations over this period, he should be considered a reliable man.

Tong Xiaohua murmured "Hmm" again, lifted her head, and stared out the window, lost in deep thought.

...

The negotiation with the foreign businessmen wasn’t going very smoothly for Yan Bo; they insisted on lowering the price excessively on the grounds that his was a newly established company.

But Yan Bo was a businessman, not a charity; making a profit was the essence.

The two sides were at an impasse over the price, right up until the foreign businessmen had to leave to catch their flight to the airport and the deal still hadn’t been settled.

Yan Bo, having spent several years abroad, had seen his fair share of turmoil, so after seeing off the foreign businessmen, he got into his car as if it were just another day.

But it was different for Di Xu; although Yanhuang had bumped into quite a few obstacles since it opened, they had always managed to get things done. This time, it was the first occasion Yanhuang had failed to close a deal.

"Boss, why don’t we just accommodate them? Both sides give a little, drop it by two percent?"

The foreign businessmen had demanded a five percent reduction, which was clearly unacceptable to Yanhuang, but a two percent cut was within an acceptable range for them.

However, Yan Bo shook his head, "No, not even one percent less!"

Di Xu felt it was a pity since the client was a big one. Maintaining a long-term relationship with them could mean Yanhuang’s performance over the next two years would be worry-free.

He shared his thoughts with Yan Bo, who said, "Di Xu, don’t just think about our own performance. Have confidence in us. I believe that with the service and quality our team provides, this price is all profit for him. Once he goes back and compares, he’ll understand. We’re not in a rush!"

Even though that foreign businessman would be flying back to his own country in an hour or two, Yan Bo remained highly confident.

Di Xu always had great respect for his boss, and indeed, when it came to the cost-effectiveness of service and quality, not to mention L City, there was currently no domestic company that could compete with Yanhuang.

"Alright, do we put this proposal on hold or continue to refine it?"

Yanhuang’s workforce was very lean; there was not a single idle person in the company. Now that the deal with the foreign businessmen had fallen through, the question was whether to continue with the proposal or not.

Di Xu needed the Big Boss’s guidance on this matter.

Yan Bo thought for a moment and replied, "Tell the Planning Department to put this proposal on hold for now. As for how to phrase it, you weigh it out for yourself."
