Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Originally thought it was a King, but it turned out to be a piece of scrap iron
Shangguan Yunli thought back to how he had been the one who asked Ye Xian to seek out Tingshen. Now, standing aside as if it didn’t concern him was really not good, so he leaned in close to Bo Tingshen and whispered, “Tingshen, just do me this favor, let’s play a bit longer and give him a chance to explain.”
Ye Xian caught the movements of Shangguan Yunli’s lips and cooperatively picked up a nearby golf club, respectfully offering it to Bo Tingshen, “CEO, please.”
Shangguan Yunli suggested, “Ye Xian, how about this… Since you made the mistake first, you should show the right attitude in admitting it. How about you and I play a game? If you win, President Bo will give you five minutes to apologize, okay?”
The two of them chimed in one after another, getting along harmoniously.
Delighted, Shangguan Yunli snapped his fingers. Since he was helping, he might as well go all the way—he was going to go easy.
To his surprise, Ye Xian looked at Bo Tingshen and suddenly said, “But I’m here to apologize to the CEO, so I’d rather compete with the CEO himself.”
Shangguan Yunli was so shocked that he almost dropped the golf club.
Had he heard that right? This young man wanted to compete with Tingshen? Did he not know that Tingshen had won a golf championship at 18?!
Or, did he also have some tricks up his sleeve, to be making such a bold statement?
Bo Tingshen agreed, and Shangguan Yunli looked at him in surprise, feeling inexplicably like a predator about to bully a little bunny.
Shangguan Yunli’s goodwill was completely lost on Ye Xian. She had suggested competing with Bo Tingshen because she believed that a carefree gentleman like Shangguan Yunli would certainly be proficient in such recreational sports, while the CEO, managing a myriad of tasks daily, would hardly have time to practice.
Thus, she still had better odds competing with the CEO, especially since her own skill in golf was… well, hard to describe
After college, she had started acting and hadn’t really had the time to nurture hobbies beyond the essential skills required of an entertainer.
She learned to play golf only once for a city idol drama and had only taken a few days of lessons. Years had passed since then, and she had forgotten most of it…
“I’ll serve as the referee. Who will start?”
Shangguan Yunli’s gaze shifted between the two, and Ye Xian glanced at the person next to her and cleverly raised her hand, “I’ll go first!”
If the CEO’s golf skills were mediocre and he played terribly, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
Shangguan Yunli silently applauded him in his heart and tossed over the golf club.
Ye Xian took the golf club and positioned himself at the tee, his gaze sharp ahead.
The young man slowly bent his slim body, gripping the club tightly with both hands. He swung tentatively without touching the ball, keeping his pivot axis unwavering, his body radiating unmatched confidence—a stark contrast to his earlier deference and vulnerability.
“That’s a very standard move.”
Shangguan Yunli watched her actions intently and couldn’t help but mutter, “Maybe she does have some skill…”
The next second, Ye Xian furrowed his brows, using all his strength to swing the club vigorously, with grand momentum.
Following the parabola, Shangguan Yunli anxiously watched, his speech abruptly stopping, “…”
It seemed like there was a flock of crows cawing in the sky.
In the air, all was empty.
Ye Xian’s swing also paused halfway. Why did it feel like… he hadn’t hit anything?
Bo Tingshen looked down, his eyes flickering slightly as he gazed at the golf ball lying tranquilly at the original spot, unmoved.
Shangguan Yunli quickly looked down.
Damn? Didn’t hit the ball?
Was this kid here to be funny?
He had thought he was dealing with a king, only to find out he was a dud?
