Chapter 982: Chapter 979: Fall Down, Get Back Up

The share agreement was officially notarized the next day by the lawyers of the Yan Family, and Tong Xiaohua had, in another sense, become the boss lady of Yanhuang.

Yan Bo spent the evening dining with a senior official from the bank, who had changed his attitude completely and was now full of respect and praise towards Yan Bo.

"Young Master Yan, if you need anything in the future, just give me a call, why be so polite?"

It seemed that the word had gotten out that the head of the Tong Family was starting to see Yan Bo as a son-in-law.

Yan Bo didn’t offer much of an explanation, just returned the compliments with a smile.

Afterwards, several high-ranking officials who had previously declined invitations began to call Yan Bo one after another, with all their messages being more or less the same.

A couple of days later, Yan Bo finally received a phone call from Yan Zhong.

"You little brat, are you planning on shaming our Old Yan Family to death?"

As soon as the call connected, Yan Zhong’s angry words almost burst Yan Bo’s eardrums.

Yan Bo moved the phone slightly away from his ear, waiting for Yan Zhong to finish his tirade before bringing it back.

"Dad, why are you so angry?"

Yan Bo pretended not to know the source of Yan Zhong’s anger and asked calmly.

"Yan Bo, don’t think that just because your mother dotes on you, you can do whatever you want! I have dozens of ways to make you fall, and it’s not too late to turn back now."

Yan Zhong’s words were still harsh, but his tone had softened somewhat. He probably realized that if he pushed his son too far, this youngest son was capable of anything.

Yan Bo picked up a document and started flipping through it, "Dad, I can’t turn back now! If you really want to see me fall, then after I fall, I’ll just get back up again."

"You!" Yan Zhong seemed to be really angered, "Just don’t end up crying to me!"

"Dad, you know I won’t!"

Yan Bo was someone who wasn’t swayed by force but persuasion. He had been disciplined by Yan Zhong numerous times as a child but no matter how hard the punches were, they never made the youngest son submit.

This time was no different.

"Fine, we’ll just wait and see!"

After saying this, Yan Zhong hung up the phone immediately.

After the call was ended, Yan Bo didn’t call back. He knew that on this issue, there was no way he would compromise.

Yan Bo didn’t know how long it would take for his parents to accept Tong Xiaohua, to approve of his relationship with her, but he knew, regardless of his parents’ attitudes, he had made up his mind to go down this path.

Now, Yan Bo’s relationship with his parents had become strained, but he had made progress with Tong Xiaohua’s parents.

In the past, the head of the Tong Family had never initiated an invitation for Yan Bo to come over for a meal or anything like that.

But ever since Yan Bo had arrived with the Osmanthus Brew in hand that day, the head of the Tong Family had actually personally called Yan Bo on a Thursday.

Yan Bo had the number of Tong Xiaohua’s father on his mobile phone, but seeing it come up on the caller ID was a first.

"Uncle Tong, what’s happening?"

Yan Bo was in a meeting with Di Xu and several high-ranking managers, so when he took the call, he gestured to Di Xu to continue leading the meeting while he stepped out of the conference room with the phone.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhang brought over some game and a fine wine this morning on someone’s behalf. Do you have time tomorrow night? Come over for dinner."

Yan Bo readily agreed. So, after hanging up the phone with Old Tong, he stepped outside into the corridor and immediately dialed Ling Qingyun’s number.

Previously, Ling Qingyun and several aristocratic family youths had invited him to dine with them. Yan Bo had postponed several times due to unresolved funding issues, ultimately scheduling it for tomorrow night.

Now that his future father-in-law had personally called to invite him for dinner, the meal with Ling Qingyun and company would naturally have to be rescheduled.

"Young Master Ling, I’m sorry, but I have something at my future in-laws’ tomorrow evening. How about we get together at a bar after dinner? It’s my treat."

"Oh, you’ve started calling him future father-in-law, huh! Fine, we’re not that clueless. Finish your dinner then come out, and we’ll drink to celebrate you being off the market!"

In recent days, Old Tong’s high-profile promise of Yan Bo dating his precious daughter had spread all over L City, and naturally, youths like Ling Qingyun had caught wind of it.

"That works. You don’t mind if I bring family members along, do you?"

"Of course not, they would also like to catch a glimpse of Miss Tong’s stunning beauty."

With that, the plan was set. The reason Yan Bo made such a suggestion was he felt that Tong Xiaohua, having been accepted into the Tong Family for several months now, should start to broaden her social circle.

Yan Bo’s thoughts were not only approved by Tong Xiaohua but also by Old Tong and the elders of the Tong Family.

Having soaked in society for many years, Old Tong had his unique ways of dealing with people. His networking skills were also second to none; whether dealing with shady or legitimate figures, he could forge some connection or another.

After all, in this society, everything comes down to benefits. With benefits, all is negotiable.

Old Tong was in a rush to leave for an overseas trip due to Mother Tong’s illness and had only had time to arrange a welcome cocktail party for Tong Xiaohua before he left.

And during these past few months, Tong Xiaohua had been so swamped with taking over Tong Family affairs and juggling her academics that she indeed hadn’t had much leisure to concern herself with extensive networking.

Now that Old Tong was back and Mother Tong’s health was temporarily stable, it seemed the ideal time to take her out and expand her network.

Old Tong had invited Yan Bo over for dinner originally planning to have a happy drink with him. Learning that the younger couple had other engagements later, Old Tong turned Yan Bo’s wine glass upside down on the table.

"Xiao Yan, don’t drink anymore, Ah Ming and I will drink."

Clearly, Old Tong had fully accepted Yan Bo as his future son-in-law.

Yan Bo didn’t insist. After dining with the elders, he and Tong Xiaohua were driven by the Yan Family’s driver to the agreed-upon bar.

The bar was, of course, owned by the Tong Family. Tong Xiaohua had informed the manager ahead of time, and they had reserved the most luxurious VIP private room.

As hosts, Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua arrived ten minutes earlier than Ling Qingyun and the others.

Among the aristocratic family youths, Ling Qingyun arrived first, followed by Yi Changxing, the eldest son of the Yi Family, which was one of the top ten families in L City; then came the second youngest of Lui’s Family, followed by Zhu Zhizhou of the Zhu Family, and finally, the eldest young master of the Xing Family.

Among these youths, Yan Bo was most acquainted with Ling Qingyun, then Yi Changxing. He had fewer dealings with the second young master of the Lui Family, the eldest young master of the Xing Family, and Zhu Zhizhou.

However, with wine, the great leveler, even those who were not initially familiar became very comfortable with each other after a night of revelry.

By the time the night ended, everyone was referring to each other as brothers and promising to look out for one another in the future.

Out of this group, the ones Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua liked the least was Zhu Zhizhou, even though he was quite young. Yan Bo always felt that his aura did not quite align with his.

Yet, at that time, Yan Bo and Tong Xiaohua did not anticipate that it would be this very Zhu Zhizhou, whom they liked the least, who would become their in-law decades later!
