Chapter 960: Chapter 957: To the Point Where There’s No Distinction Between Each Other

Since they had Di Xu, an expert in L City, as their guide, the four of them had a particularly enjoyable day taking the L City one-day tour.

Di Xu led everyone to a village in the middle of L City, then to the wild suburbs, to see the hills and fields of the Tulip Garden. Later, they went to the fish reservoir, and for dinner, at the farmhouse next to the reservoir, they cooked the fish and shrimp they had caught themselves in various ways, turning them into delicious food that was true to its original flavor. It left the four of them stuffed to the brim.

On their way back to L City from the reservoir, Tao Jia kept exclaiming that the trip to L City was completely worthwhile and that she would come again if she had the chance.

"Jiajia, whenever you want to come to play, just call me, and I will arrange the itinerary for you,"

Di Xu actually had a pretty good impression of Miss Tao Jia and volunteered to take on the job of guide for the next time.

Tao Jia was on the ten o’clock flight that night, so after leaving the reservoir, the driver went straight to the airport.

After sending Tao Jia off, the driver took the three of them back to the city area.

"Senior brother, we were lucky to have you today."

Although Tong Xiaohua was a native of L City, she had never heard of the places Di Xu took them to today.

"Xiao Hua, next time you and the boss can’t find a suitable date spot, I can also offer you the best places,"

To Di Xu’s joke, Tong Xiaohua just laughed, while Yan Bo directly threatened and bribed him.

"Di Xu, when we get back, list out all the best dating spots in your mind for me, or forget about getting your Quarterly Award."

Di Xu felt wronged, "Boss, I ’m doing volunteer work here!"

Tong Xiaohua couldn’t help but speak out in defense of Di Xu, laughing as she tugged at Yan Bo to complain on his behalf.

"Yeah, senior brother is sacrificing his rest time to play with us for a day, how has he ended up being docked the Quarterly Award, you’re such a confused Boss!"

Yan Bo let out an exasperated laugh, then instantly pinched her face and said through gritted teeth.

"You’ve grown capable, siding with an outsider to bully me!"

Tong Xiaohua winked at him and said, "I’m siding with justice, not relations, right, senior brother?"

Di Xu nodded repeatedly, but of course, under the Boss’s menacing power, he didn’t dare to admit it aloud.

Although it was a joke, Yan Bo had to make a new promise, "Alright then, senior brother, as long as you list all the best dating spots in L City, I will add an extra twenty percent to your Quarterly Award from my own pocket."

Incentives sure do breed champions, which was not false at all; the next morning, Di Xu handed in the data he had completed on Saturday to Yan Bo, along with a complete dating guide.

In it, not only did he list all the suitable dating spots in L City, but he also detailed where to go for the best food and shopping, all clearly outlined.

To Yan Bo, this guide was indeed a dating bible.

"I didn’t realize my special assistant had such expertise in this area!"

Yan Bo appeared to flip through the dating guide casually, glancing at Di Xu almost imperceptibly.

"Boss, I’m almost thirty. Although I’m not married yet, I’ve been in a few serious relationships. If I didn’t even have this bit of experience, I might as well smash my head with tofu and be done with it."

Yan Bo looked down and flipped through a bit more, then heard Di Xu say, "Boss, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to get back to work."

Yan Bo didn’t look up but waved his hand to signal him to go out.

Around noon, Tong Xiaohua received a call from Yan Bo.

"Xiao Hua, dinner together tonight?"

Two days ago, Tong Xiaohua had handed over all her tasks to Qin Ming because she accompanied Tao Jia, and today, she felt it would be too embarrassing to impose everything on Qin Ming again.

"Can we make it Wednesday? I need to go to the bank for an accounting check these next two days."

The minor incident caused by Fei Gang’s subordinates had finally been properly resolved.

However, it also spurred Tong Xiaohua’s determination to conduct a thorough investigation of the bank’s finances.

If previously she had hesitated, fearing too many actions would disrupt the morale of her subordinates, after Grandfather Tong’s lecture that day, she finally made up her mind.

Yan Bo was certainly disappointed, but he also felt it was alright to postpone their dinner date, as work should not be delayed.

"Wednesday it is, then. I’ll call you in the evening," he said.

Actually, Yan Bo was quite busy too. Recently, due to financial issues, he had to arrange a meeting with a senior bank official to talk; he had intended to invite them tomorrow, but now that Tong Xiaohua wasn’t available, he dialed the senior bank official’s phone number.

The official was quite forthcoming, agreeing to have dinner together tonight.

After finalizing the dinner arrangements, Yan Bo turned to Di Xu and Miss Guo to prepare the loan application data. After giving the instructions, something else crossed his mind, and he returned to his office to rapidly type on his computer.

Tong Xiaohua was reviewing a feasibility analysis report on extending the KTV business hours with Qin Ming when her mobile phone "ding dong" sounded with a message alert.

"I sent some data to your email, don’t forget to check it."

The sender was Yan Bo.

When Tong Xiaohua checked her email, she found a bunch of notes from Yan Bo.

Previously, he had helped her review the bank’s accounts from a few years ago. These notes were about the parts he found ambiguous and the areas that seemed to have loopholes in them.

Some of these notes he had already mentioned to Tong Xiaohua, and others, not certain at the time, he had not. After all, back then, their relationship at best could be described as friends; he feared that if he delved too deeply, she might distrust him or even doubt his intentions.

But now, as their relationship had evolved to a point where there was no distinction between theirs and mine, he naturally felt the responsibility to list all the points of suspicion one by one.

As Tong Xiaohua read through the notes, she felt increasingly like a rookie in front of Yan Bo.

She quietly took note of the points raised by Yan Bo, then turned to Qin Ming, who was still studying the feasibility report, and said,

"Uncle Ming, about Li Lin’s report, I think we can start by implementing it in a few major stores in the city area for one quarter. The weather is getting colder, and if this plan is effective, it can help save our business during the off-season."

Qin Ming slightly furrowed his brow, "Xiao Hua, I’m worried that if the trial doesn’t work out well, it might give those who were originally against you more ammo to pressure you."

But Tong Xiaohua was very confident about this strategy, "Uncle Ming, I believe twenty-four-hour KTV service is inevitable. Given that, why can’t Tongyao be the first one to break the ice?"

Risk always coexists with benefit.

If one doesn’t have the courage to take a risk, how can they reap the greatest reward?

Qin Ming thought for a moment and finally nodded his head.

"Alright, I’ll tell Li Lin to start implementing twenty-four-hour operations in the major city stores next month, with a trial period of one quarter."

Tong Xiaohua hummed in acknowledgment. After a while, she gave Qin Ming another instruction, "Uncle Ming, ask Li Lin to draft a marketing plan as well, and submit it to me as soon as possible."
