At the golf course.

 Shen Youran was sitting at the rest area and dispiritedly twisted the cap of the mineral water bottle open to take a sip.

Although it was not midsummer yet, as long as she exercised a little, beads of sweat would immediately appear on her forehead.

 Not too far away from her, Shen Yaoting and one of the higher-ups of another company were excitedly playing golf.

 Both of their golfing skills were on par with each other; hence, they had been playing for two hours yet nobody had won the game.

Today was Saturday, and she initially planned to book a two-day tour with two of her colleagues.

However, when she was eating dinner last night, Shen Yaoting told her that he asked someone out to play golf and discuss a project today so he told her to come along to relax.

She knew clearly in her heart that Shen Yaoting would not bring her out for no reason.

 However, two hours had passed and she still could not tell Shen Yaoting’s intention for bringing her out.

After they had reached the golf course, Shen Yaoting and Deputy President Zeng greeted each other and immediately took their golf club to play golf. They did not look as if they were here to discuss a project. It was more like they were here to play golf.

 Her golfing skills were so-so. As such, she played for only a while and started getting bored. She was too lazy to move and took her phone out to browse the latest news.

When she raised her head again, Shen Yaoting and Deputy President Zeng had already stopped playing and were walking toward a certain direction.

She shifted her gaze a little and looked toward the direction they were walking to.

The man who was walking toward them was Ji Jinchuan.

 He was wearing white sportswear while carrying his golf club. There were two to three people following him.

Shen Youran had seen one of them at the Old Master’s birthday banquet before. He seemed to be the president of a company.

As he hailed from the Mediterranean, he left a deep impression on her.

Both of them greeted each other and Shen Yaoting waved his hand at her. She walked over and gave Ji Jinchuan a faint smile. “President Ji.”

 Ji Jinchuan gave her a faint glare before slightly nodding. Compared to his attitude during Old Master Shen’s birthday banquet, he seemed colder and more distant.

Usually, when he was wearing his Western business attire, he would look very stern and domineering. However, now that he was wearing his casual attire, he looked fresher and more gentlemanly than usual. It was as if he was a different person from the usual him.

Deputy President Zeng caressed his neat hair out of habit. “Since President Ji is also here to play golf, how about we play together?”

 Shen Yaoting also agreed, “If President Ji doesn’t mind, we can golf together. Besides, it will be more lively.”

 Ji Jinchuan was here to sign the contract with another party and they had already discussed all the terms just now. However, upon hearing Shen Yaoting and Deputy President Zeng’s words, it would not be nice of him to reject them. Hence, he nodded his head and agreed.

“Youran’s golfing skills are so-so. Hence, if President Ji doesn’t mind, could you teach her a thing or two?”

 Although Shen Yaoting was very tactful with his words, everyone could understand his intention. He was taking this chance to let his daughter get closer to Ji Jinchuan.

Shen Youran’s facial expression slightly changed. No wonder Shen Yaoting personally asked her to play golf! This was his intention.

They knew that Ji Jinchuan would come here from the start, so they were waiting for him.

Ji Jinchuan wore an indifferent expression and said, “The Ji family isn’t so poor that I have to become a coach.”

Shen Yaoting felt a little embarrassed. “No, you have misunderstood. I was just afraid that Youran will feel bored alone.”

 “Feel bored?” Ji Jinchuan passed his golf club from one hand to another and thought for a while. He raised his eyebrows and said, “She can pick the balls up for me.”

 In contrast to the happy look on Shen Yaoting’s face, which he tried very hard to hide, Shen Youran’s facial expression turned very sour.

There were golf ball pickers around, so why did she have to pick up the balls?

 Moreover, she was very sure that he was teasing her as he golfed.

There were nine balls out of ten that flew out of the targeted course and even rolled very far. Her legs were almost going to break from all that running.
