Chapter 1604: Chapter 1618: Golf Tournament

"Wow, running out here to play golf in this scorching heat, the thoughts of rich people are really bizarre!"

Lin Mu raised his hand to shield his eyes and looked at the sky. The air after the light rain seemed particularly fresh, the sky was clear, without a cloud in sight, and the bright sunshine poured down. Although it didn’t feel too hot now, it wouldn’t be long before the temperature would rise.

"Idiot! Just because you know something doesn’t mean others don’t! If it weren’t for Young Master Fang coming, who would waste their time playing golf in this season?"

Sophie swung her club with a semblance of seriousness, trying hard to find her long-lost feel for the game.

"Damn, no wonder you’re so into it! Are you planning to use this opportunity to hook up with that young master and become an official’s wife in the provincial capital?"

Lin Mu pursed his lips. Sophie’s outfit today was indeed carefully thought out. Her smooth long hair was tied into a ponytail, passing through the back of a light-colored wide-brimmed sun hat. She wore a chiffon long-sleeved top with a stand-up collar on top, and off-white sports shorts below. On her delicate face, she had a pair of purple GUCCI sunglasses. Simple yet sophisticated, this outfit perfectly highlighted Sophie’s delicate charm while still adhering to golf etiquette. Any man who saw her would be captivated at first sight.

"Yes, I do want to be an official’s wife. What, are you jealous?"

Sophie tossed the club over, took off her white gloves, and said irritably.

"That’s right, I’m jealous. At home, you were still seducing me, and now you’re already shifting your affections, that’s too fast!"

"Get lost!" Sophie lightly spat, then her face bloomed with a formal charming smile as she walked toward a group of people approaching from afar.

The so-called Pearl River Delta elite gathering was nothing more than a few wealthy bosses pretending to be elegant, flaunting their style, and seeing if there were any underhanded deals to be made. Normally, Sophie would disdain coming here, but with Young Master Fang suddenly deciding to join the event, she couldn’t miss it no matter what.

It’s well known that even a seventh-grade official at the Prime Minister’s door is important, and to be the child of a regional top official is certainly higher than a seventh-grade officer. He’s here in the Pearl River Delta for fun, and all the notable bosses are here eagerly to accompany him. And you, Sophie, ’acting all high and mighty,’ what, are you so amazing that you look down on Young Master Fang?

The business field is like a battlefield, full of treacherous people. If Sophie really missed it, without a doubt, someone would seize the opportunity to stir up trouble. By then, if Young Master Fang got angry and complained at home, the days ahead for Su’s Great Enterprise wouldn’t be pleasant.

Power and money go hand in hand, with power first and money second. Even if a boss is impressive within the company, outside, there surely comes a time to play humble.

"Ha ha, to be honest, President Su is indeed an infrequent visitor to this golf course! If not for Young Master Fang today, we poor folks probably wouldn’t have the chance to meet the business queen of the Pearl River Delta." A middle-aged man with sparse hair spoke with a smile.

He was Liu Guodong, the new president of Liu’s Company. After Aunt Liu made a fool of herself at the banquet, she was first removed from her president position and then ruthlessly dumped by Wang Jian Country. Her life was miserable, even developing depression, and was sent to the United States for treatment. As for Liu Guodong, he’s her older brother. Watching his dearly beloved sister fall into such a plight, he naturally developed animosity towards Sophie. As soon as he got the chance, he started making things difficult for her.

"Boss Liu, you’re joking. Feifei is dull-witted and certainly not worthy of the title of goddess!"

Sophie shook her head, smiling sweetly: "Moreover, I’m just a latecomer in business, inherently ignorant and inexperienced, totally unable to compare with the seasoned bosses here. To not disappoint my grandfather’s expectations, Feifei can only work hard like a dumb bird flying early. As soon as I have a little spare time, I’d rather catch up on sleep than come out to exercise!"

Young as she is, as the head of Yunhai, the beautiful president is certainly not stupid. In just a few words, she cleverly quelled the dissatisfaction among those present, stirred up by Liu Guodong.

"Feifei, you’re impressive, reminiscent of Old Su’s demeanor back in the day." An elderly man with grey hair gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"Boss Guo, you’re too kind."

Sophie playfully stuck out her tongue, her sudden act of cuteness made several bosses’ hearts itch.

Boss Guo is a veteran in the Pearl River Delta business world, his business spreads across the country with extensive connections. It’s just that as he aged, his zest faded. Were it not for the enthusiastic invitation from the bosses, he might not have shown up here.

"Ahem, let’s cut the idle chatter. Everyone knows that Young Master Fang is coming. However, there are too many elites in the Pearl River Delta, piling them up like this seems a bit overwhelming."

Boss Guo coughed twice, his gaze sweeping over the crowd as he slowly spoke: "In my opinion, we should identify primary and secondary roles among us. Select two representative figures to accompany Young Master Fang! As for others, keeping a bit of distance and showing goodwill is sufficient."

"Boss Guo is right."

"I have no objections, let’s proceed with that."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wealthy folks all expressed agreement, clearly having reached a consensus beforehand.

"Feifei, what do you think?" Boss Guo gestured with his hand, speaking kindly.

Sophie’s eyebrows discreetly furrowed but she quickly smiled and said, "Everyone agrees, what can I, a young woman, do? But Boss Guo, how will these representative figures be chosen?"

Boss Guo could sense the subtle dissatisfaction in the beautiful president’s words and sighed inwardly. Unfazed, he explained, "Since we’re at a golf club, naturally the outcome should be determined through playing golf. However, time is limited, so let’s keep the rules simple. From the tee-off to the 500-yard mark at hole six, the three with the least strokes will be selected, how about that?"

With the rules already set, what more could Sophie say? She could only nod and return to Lin Mu’s side.

"Obviously, they’ve set a trap to kick you out."

"No kidding, I’m not blind." Sophie raised her arm and began to warm up.

"But there’s one thing you probably haven’t noticed, those old guys have brought in reinforcements." Lin Mu scratched his head, saying, "Did you see that man with the bodyguard-like identity? If I’m not mistaken, he seems to be a former national team athlete." ℴℴ𝘮

"Darn it." Sophie took a closer look and it was indeed true. Except for herself warming up, the other bosses and wealthy people were happily back under the sunshade, chatting and laughing without a care, while on the field, it was not ’bodyguards’ or ’secretaries’ playing. The beautiful president was furious, tossing her sleeves and storming over to Boss Guo. Nonetheless, it was clear that a few minutes later, she returned with a sour face and continued her warm-up exercises.

"Knowing it can’t be done yet still doing it, impressive!"

Lin Mu gave a thumbs up, though inwardly he was shaking his head. Knowing they had brought in ringers yet still going up to humiliate herself, President Su’s mind seemed to have been damaged shutting her dressing room door.
