After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Of course, Deputy Minister Zhou knew that Tang Xiaohu was the person Xu Boan had always protected. Judging from his position within the group company alone, he was currently not as high-ranking as Xu Boan, so Xu Boan must not be offended.

Therefore, when he heard Xu Boan say that he had misunderstood Tang Xiaohu, he also understood that Xu Boan was blatantly protecting his brother, so he quickly found a way out and said that he would apologize to Tang Xiaohu, which was actually just giving face to Xu Boan.

However, Xu Boan also understood that although Deputy Minister Zhou was one level lower than him in terms of position, he would leave in the future, and Deputy Minister Zhou's position was a technical position with great potential. He would most likely be promoted sooner or later. When he had great power and could decide the life and death of his subordinates, if he remembered that he had apologized to his subordinates for a small matter, wouldn't he punish Tang Xiaohu? Wouldn't Tang Xiaohu suffer then!

It's better to leave a way out for others so that we can meet again in the future. Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an immediately smiled and said, "Deputy Minister Zhou, you are too polite. Why do you need to apologize to him in person for such a small matter? You can't do that. How about this? Just send me the information of the young master of Qu Group and I will contact him directly!"

After hearing what Xu Boan said, Deputy Minister Zhou felt much better. He had just said that he wanted to apologize to Tang Xiaohu, but he was just being polite for Xu Boan's sake. If Xu Boan really wanted to climb up the ladder and asked him to apologize to a subordinate, where would his face be? How would he be able to stay in the company in the future?

The feud between Xu Bo'an and Tang Xiaohu was thus forged. After Xu Bo'an left, Tang Xiaohu would have to suffer. Now Xu Bo'an did not do so. At this moment, Deputy Minister Zhou thought that Xu Bo'an was still a person who took the overall situation into consideration.

Xu Boan had no idea what Deputy Minister Zhou was thinking at the moment. The reason why he said that was not because of the overall situation, but entirely for Tang Xiaohu's sake. If Xu Boan had stayed in the company all the time, he probably wouldn't have given face to anyone except Chairman Su.

Deputy Minister Zhou said: "Mr. Xu is really polite. I will send you the information later."

The reason why Vice Minister Zhou said it would be later was because he still had to introduce the situation to Mr. Qu through an intermediary, and only after Mr. Qu's consent could he give Mr. Qu's contact information to Xu Bo'an.

After all, the contact information of these high-end people is very private and they are usually unwilling to disclose it casually.

It was a long time after the two of them hung up the phone that Xu Bo'an saw the message that Vice Minister Zhou sent to him.

Xu Bo'an did not hesitate and made the call directly according to the message sent by Vice Minister Zhou.

It is lunch time now, and Qu Feifan has invited Zhong Yan to have lunch at noon today.

Of course, it is impossible that they are the only two people having dinner together. After all, they are both influential figures in Jiangzhou Province. If it were just the two of them having dinner together, it would definitely attract widespread attention from the media. With their strength, they are certainly capable of suppressing the news, but once public opinion spreads, it will be difficult to control.

Qu Feifan didn't care about these things, but Zhong Zhao didn't want to have such a scandal with him, so Zhong Zhao came to the appointment today, but brought nearly 30 people, almost all the people in her racing club.

If Xu Boan was present, he would definitely recognize that he had seen this person before.

The last time Xu Boan and Tang Xiaohu ate clear soup noodles in that star-rated hotel, they were looked down upon by the waiter, who asked them to leave. Instead of leaving, Xu Boan ordered a set meal and told the waiter to only give him a bowl of clear soup noodles.

Later, when paying the bill, Xu Boan said that the price of clear soup noodles was too outrageous. Later, a girl who saw injustice came forward. At first, she thought that Xu Boan was bullying the waiter. After learning the whole story, she and Xu Boan blamed the waiter. The waiter retorted, and Xu Boan could not swallow this. After knowing that this store was owned by Qu Feifan's family, she called Qu Feifan. Xu Boan took the opportunity to leave with Tang Xiaohu.

That girl is Zhong Yan!

And that hotel belongs to Qu Feifan and his family.

Since Zhong Yan was bullied in Qu Feifan's hotel, this matter certainly cannot be let go.

Who is Zhong Yan? He is someone whom Qu Feifan cannot afford to offend. When he heard Zhong Yan's call that day, Qu Feifan rushed to the hotel without stopping and fired the waiter and the manager without asking the reason.

Seeing that he had done his job cleanly and efficiently, Zhong Yan felt relieved and did not pursue the matter further.

Instead, it gave Qu Feifan an excuse to treat her to a meal. Qu Feifan had always hoped to integrate into the circle of Zhong Yan and her friends, so as to pave the way for further success in his career. However, Miss Zhong had always been too lazy to pay attention to him. Now that he had the opportunity to treat her to a meal, how could he not be happy?
If Qu Feifan knew who was eating this bowl of noodles, he would have to thank that person's ancestors for eight generations!
At this moment, Qu Feifan didn't know that the person eating the expensive clear soup noodles in his hotel was the racing expert Xu Boan he was looking for.

Qu Feifan took inviting the main guest to dinner very seriously and of course tried his best to entertain him well. He directly booked the largest and most luxurious hotel in Jiangzhou Province.

At this moment, he was toasting with Zhong Yan and his group, and everyone was having a great time. He heard the phone suddenly ring. In order not to disturb everyone's fun, he simply turned his phone to silent mode. It was completely his expectation to have this meal with Zhong Yan, and he must not be sorry for not entertaining them well enough.

So when Xu Boan dialed the phone, all he heard was the ringing tone, and no one answered until the ringing stopped.

Xu Boan called again, but still only heard the ringing tone and no one answered.

Of course, Deputy Minister Zhou wanted to call Qu Feifan to report the situation, but Qu Feifan didn't hear it at all. When Deputy Minister Zhou saw that Qu Feifan didn't answer the call, he didn't want to continue calling, so he had to send him a message to explain the situation. This way, the Qu Group would not blame him for his poor performance.

Xu Boan, who was already starving at this time, simply stopped making the call and got up to go to the cafeteria to eat.

Anyway, it was Qu Feifan who wanted to find me for something, and I had already called him, but he didn't answer. So I can't be blamed now. The most important thing is that Tang Xiaohu will no longer be implicated in this matter.

Just as Xu Boan stood up, he heard the sound of high heels walking at the door, accompanied by the "tapping" footsteps coming from far away, until they stopped at the door of Xu Boan's office, followed by two knocks on the door. After Xu Boan said "come in", the woman pushed the door open and walked in. The person was none other than Tang Xiaotong. At this moment, Tang Xiaotong was wearing a decent work suit. The top was a light blue shirt style, well-cut, with smooth lines, and the neckline was slightly open, revealing a kind of intellectual beauty. The shirt was also embroidered with the logo of Dongjiang Construction Group. The lower body was matched with a black half-length skirt. The length of the skirt was just right, not too revealing, but also showing the beauty of women's curves. The most eye-catching thing was the pair of black high heels on her feet, which not only enhanced the overall temperament, but also made people appear more confident and calm at work.

Xu Bo'an couldn't help but take a few more glances.

If I remember correctly, this should be the work clothes that I asked Liu Quan to make last time.

Xu Boan saw that it was Tang Xiaotong, but Xu Boan was so hungry that his stomach was growling, so he had no time to take a closer look. He just took a quick glance and thought that the work clothes were really exquisitely made. He felt that Liu Quan had lived up to his trust. Then he saw the lunch box in Tang Xiaotong's hand.

Tang Xiaotong walked to Xu Bo'an's desk, put the lunch box in her hand on Xu Bo'an's desk, and said, "Mr. Xu, it's almost time for lunch, and you haven't come down yet, so I took the initiative to bring you food from the cafeteria. Eat it while it's hot!"

Before, if she didn't go downstairs to eat, Liu Quan would usually bring her the meal. Today, Liu Quan had something to do at home and took a day off. When Tang Xiaotong was eating in the cafeteria at noon, she didn't see Xu Boan or Liu Quan, so she brought the meal directly to Xu Boan's office.

But she would not do this normally. After all, they work in the same company and there are differences between men and women. It is acceptable to give gifts occasionally, but if she does it frequently, some rumors will inevitably arise in the company, which will not benefit anyone. Tang Xiaotong, who graduated from a famous university in Jiangzhou Province and has high personal qualities, would never do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit herself!

Today, because she had something on her mind, she wanted to ask Mr. Xu for approval, but Tang Xiaotong, who had just graduated from college, had little social experience and was thin-skinned, didn't know how to ask. So she thought of taking the initiative to show her goodwill to Xu Boan first, and then wait for Mr. Xu to be happy and maybe he would agree.

Xu Boan also knew that Tang Xiaotong was his secretary. As a female comrade, she usually only did work-related things. She had never done anything involving personal factors like delivering meals before. Xu Boan knew that she must be afraid of rumors. This was human nature. After all, she was a girl in her early twenties. It was always right to be cautious.

Xu Bo'an also agreed with her approach in his heart. After all, it was just a job, and everyone worked for that little salary. It was definitely better to have less trouble than more!

Today, Tang Xiaotong personally brought lunch to him. Xu Bo'an's observation skills were extremely sharp due to the power of incense and prayers. He instantly saw the worry on Tang Xiaotong's face that she was trying hard to hide, and he guessed at once that Tang Xiaotong wanted to ask him for something today.

Sure enough, when Tang Xiaotong put the lunch box on the table, Xu Bo'an asked, "Do you have anything to say? There's no one else here, just tell me what you want to say. Can I help you?"

When Tang Xiaotong heard what Xu Boan said, her cheeks suddenly started to turn red, and even her ears started to feel hot. This was the first time she had done something to please someone out of helplessness, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Mr. Xu at once. Did she have to be so obvious?

Was her purpose so nakedly revealed? She really blamed herself for being too young and inexperienced. She wanted to ask someone to do something, but was seen through at first sight. It was still very embarrassing for her, a thin-skinned college graduate.

But Tang Xiaotong still needed Xu Bo'an's approval to do this today, so she encouraged herself in her heart, constantly encouraging herself that "thick skin is a must-have weapon for navigating the world."

So I mustered up my courage and said, "Mr. Xu, you are so sharp-eyed that you can tell at a glance that I have something on my mind. You are so amazing. I really admire you! Let's talk after you finish your meal. Food is the most important thing for people. I can't delay your meal because of my own affairs, otherwise it will be bad if the food gets cold!"

Tang Xiaotong thought that no matter what, it would be the right thing to say a lot of flattery first. All the little kids in the kindergarten knew that flattery was very useful at any time and in any place. Although her flattery sounded a little crude, it was the result of her life-long learning.

After listening to Tang Xiaotong's flattery, Xu Boan felt that it sounded a little strange, but he still felt very happy. After all, there is no one who doesn't like to hear flattery, and Xu Boan is no exception.

After Tang Xiaotong finished speaking, she stood aside quietly and waited. Xu Boan didn't hesitate to be polite. He was so hungry that he finished the whole bowl of food in a short while. It was true that people can only feel the deliciousness of food when they are hungry. Today, Xu Boan felt that the food in the cafeteria was particularly delicious.

Seeing that Xu Boan had finished his meal, Tang Xiaotong quickly walked to the desk and threw Xu Boan's lunch box into the trash can. Then she took out a tissue to clean up the food that Xu Boan had dropped on the table and threw it into the trash can.

Xu Boan looked at Tang Xiaotong's unusual behavior today, trying to please him, and guessed that Tang Xiaotong must have encountered something extremely difficult, otherwise she wouldn't be trying to please him like this.

He then said, "We have finished our meal, just tell me what you want to say."

Tang Xiaotong then blushed and said shyly: "Mr. Xu..., it's like this. Some time ago, my mother was diagnosed with health problems and needs surgery as soon as possible. The medical expenses are as high as 300,000 yuan. My parents didn't save much money in the countryside, and my sister took out all her savings, but now there is still a shortfall of 150,000 yuan. I just graduated from college and haven't saved much money yet. I was thinking about whether I could advance the salary for the past two years..." After she finished speaking, she rubbed her hands nervously.

When Xu Bo'an heard what Tang Xiaotong said, he smiled, shook his head slightly, and thought to himself that it was just a small matter.

Xu Bo'an is not short of money at all now, so he doesn't take things that can be solved with money seriously.

But Tang Xiaotong didn’t know that the poor could never empathize with the rich.

Seeing Xu Boan's expression, Tang Xiaotong mistakenly thought that President Xu felt that he was asking for too much, because asking for two years' salary in advance was unheard of in any company, especially for a company like this that was not an individual, it was even more difficult to make such an offer, so this was indeed a bit too much to ask.

In Tang Xiaotong's opinion, this matter is most likely to fail.
