Tong Lao Da's questioning even Tong Xiaohua could hear, yet Yan Bo's expression remained calm, showing no hint of lying.
"Uncle Tong, on this business trip, apart from the company's affairs, I also helped out a friend in passing. He wanted to pay me for my help, but I happened to like his teapot, so I asked for it instead, and that's all there is to it."
Yan Bo patiently explained, and upon finishing, seeing that Tong Lao Da's brows remained furrowed, apparently unconvinced, he added, "The client he was dealing with was very troublesome, but it so happened that this client was my partner from my days starting a business abroad. I went and mediated for them, and once the business was settled, he gave me this teapot, and it was no loss for him."
Clearly, it was a very large deal, and Yan Bo did not seem to be lying.
