The Tycoon's Vacation

  The golf course design here is a rare innovation globally. Among the 27 holes, every 9 holes are of a style, namely prairie lake style, forest lake style and pastoral lake style. The 7th and 13th holes are two consecutive water par-3 holes, while the tee box of the 9th hole is set in the water, allowing members to enjoy the privilege of playing on an island and a unique experience that is breathtaking.

  "Frankly, it's just hitting a ball into a hole with a stick. What's the difference where you do it? Just the venue is such a big fuss, what a waste of the country's money."

  "How can I smell a sour taste?" This afternoon, Nanaki's smile on his face seemed to have increased, at least when talking to her now, he always had a faint smile, although it was shallow and imperceptible, but his eyes were not as sharp and serious.

  "Not sour, but bitter." Su Ye said bluntly, tilting her head to stare at him, and from this angle, the lines of his profile were stern and smooth, very pleasing to the eye. "I'm using another seemingly casual tone to criticize you kind of unscrupulous businessmen who wave the banner of elegance and squander money."

  He looked at her, the smile in her eyes was like crushed sunlight, pouring down and flowing around her lips. Today, she had a pure bare face, having only washed up in his resting room without applying any makeup, her delicate skin was even more translucent and visible, so naturally carved and smooth as snow. For a moment, he almost wanted to reach out and pinch her to see if she would ooze juice like a ripe peach.

  Seeing him not saying a word, Su Ye's heart was somewhat uncertain, stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Just pretend I didn't say that to you."

  Nian Baiyan pulled down her hand but didn't hurry to let go, seemingly holding onto her small hand, and smiled faintly, "Little girl, you're quite skilled at coming up with excuses."

  He didn't say anything more to her, nor did he put on a serious and steady tone and demeanor when talking to her. The term "little girl" seemed casual, but somehow it felt like there was a strange emotion in it. Su Ye felt the gentleness of his words, and when he pulled her hand down, he never let go again, even when he tightened his grip as if on purpose or unintentionally. She felt that his hand was very large, with a wide palm, and her hand could be completely wrapped in his. She could also clearly feel the temperature of his palm and the clarity of his fingerprints.

  A thread of panic started to spread boundlessly, first from the fingertips and then to the heart, before sweeping over her brain. The position of the heart might have been mistaken for rhythm, and the frequency of its beats quickly went awry, skipping a beat before starting to throb wildly, pounding against the eardrum, stirring up her entire being into a state of unease.

  "I'm just stating the facts." She subtly freed her hand from his, pulled down the brim of her hat to shield herself from the sun, and looked as calm as a clear breeze. Her gaze towards the distant stadium also seemed serene.

  Ke Xin, having felt a sense of fear, at the moment she broke free, even began to regret it a bit, maybe today shouldn't have come to the stadium with him. Maybe Lin Youyan was right, Yan Bojian was not a man she could play with.

  Can she still retreat with her whole body intact if she regrets it now?

  Of course, Su Ye had this confidence, and in silence, he ended his relationship with him, but could he really just give up like that?

  She is not reconciled to it.

  Nian Baiyan didn't know what she was thinking, seeing her turn her head and stare at the distance, he thought she was curious about the arrangement of the ball court, but his heart was secretly hiding a sense of loss, from the moment her hand left his palm...

  I am the dividing line little girl

  The golf course under the sun is like the colorful life of successful people, with ups and downs, with dullness and unlimited scenery. When the ball cart arrives, the caddies have been waiting for a long time.

  Su Ye saw someone walking over from a distance, the car hadn't even stopped yet, and that person hastily reached out with both hands to shake hands with Nian Baiyan, "Director Nian, nice to meet you."

  Nian Baiyan shook hands with him and got off the car, exchanging pleasantries. Su Ye also followed suit, watching from the side, this middle-aged man should be the potential cooperative client mentioned by Nian Baiyan, as the saying goes "courtesy is always accompanied by a request", this person probably doesn't know what he's going to cooperate with Nian Baiyan on, although the conversation after meeting Nian Baiyan can also be said to be frank and open, but his eyes seem to always carry a hint of respect.

  "Who is this?" The middle-aged man's gaze fell on Su Ye.

  Nian Baiyan slightly turned his body, stretched out his hand to pull her shoulder and pulled her close, but his arm didn't stay on her shoulder for too long, she came forward and he let go, perhaps just wanting to pull her closer.

  "This is Ye Lao's little daughter, Ye Ye." He introduced in a sentence.

  Although Su Ye was unhappy, she couldn't afford to lose her temper in front of the client, so she had to hold it in. The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise, "So Old Ye has a young daughter too, I thought..."

  "Ye Ye was sent abroad to study since she was a kid, this girl is quite wild, only returned to the group to help out this year." Nian Boyan looked down at her and smiled lightly, "She's an excellent psychological consultant."

  The last sentence came out of his mouth, and no matter how you listened to it, there was a bit of pride in "my family has a daughter who has just grown up".

  Little did she know, Su Ye had been wanting to slap a palm on Nian Baiyan's face.

  "It's really 'a heroic father never has a worthless son', and the country will always have talented people emerging." The middle-aged man looked at Su Ye with genuine admiration.

  Su Ye smiled lightly at him as a return gift. In this situation, she still spoke less, otherwise it would be easy to scold the street.

  "Yeye, this is the Chairman Liu I told you about before. Now that we've met, consider yourselves acquainted. Next time you want to go shopping at his mall, just ask him for a discount card." said Yan Baiyan with a half-joking and half-serious tone.

  "Hello, Director Liu. I've long heard of your great name, and it's truly an honor to finally meet you in person." Su Ye stretched out her hand for a handshake. Before coming, Yan Bo had indeed mentioned this Director Liu to her, who was also a representative of self-made entrepreneurs. He had invested in several shopping malls when he was young and made a fortune, and now his company has successively acquired valuable land and operates large shopping malls that supply high-end brands in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.

  Although Nian Boyan only mentioned a few words, Su Ye understood that this time Liu Dong was the host who actively invited Nian Boyan, and it was probably about attracting Jing Shi's brand to settle in.

  Each of Jing Shi Group's brands has its own flagship store, and of course, entering large luxury shopping malls is also necessary to solidify the brand image in customer groups. The game of shopping malls is like this: weak brands ask for shopping malls; strong brands are sought after by shopping malls. It can be seen that Yan Baiyan has two brushes in group operations, otherwise, it would not have attracted Liu Dong's attention at all. So next, let's see how to play this mutually beneficial game, at least Su Ye thinks that a clever person like Yan Baiyan will definitely not let Liu Dong take too much advantage.

  "It's nothing, I'm far inferior to Old Ye and General Ye. Today was my mistake, I didn't know that the young lady from the Ye family had arrived. From now on, Miss Ye can go to my store and pick whatever she wants, and just put it on my account, Liu."

  "Liu Dong, your words will spoil the child." Yan Baiyan smiled calmly and pulled Su Ye back to his side.

  "Look, as they say, a sister-in-law is like a mother and a brother-in-law is like a father. Anyway, she's still your own little auntie, don't be too harsh." Liu Dong chuckled.

  Nian Baiyan smiled but did not speak.

  The girl beside him secretly sneered, but unexpectedly took the initiative to hold onto Yan Baiyan's arm in a familiar manner. "Mr. Liu, you're wrong, he's been very good to me. In fact, he was planning to teach me golf today." She said this and then looked up at Yan Baiyan with a smile, "Right, brother-in-law?"

  Nian Baiyan lowered his head and looked at her, but his eyes had a hint of inquiry.

  Su Ye's deliberately created ambiguous atmosphere didn't make Yan Boyan react, but successfully caught Liu Dong's attention. He smiled awkwardly and hurriedly called the ball boy, "Come on, prepare a set of golf clubs for Miss Su as well."

  The child is imitating the ball.

  Nian Baiyan took the ball, but didn't immediately start playing. Instead, he unexpectedly reached out to her, his broad palm gently covering the back of her head. He lowered his head, his thin lips falling on her earlobe, and in a low voice said, "Don't be reckless."

  She smiled with a pursed lip, and he really did see through her mischievous psychology. This was nothing, she had done it on purpose, not wanting him to find out that she had ways to make herself feel better. With an exceptionally good mood, she pushed him away, shouldered the golf clubs and ran far away.

  Nian Baiyan stood still, watching her figure run far away, and for a moment he was at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

  It turned out that letting Su Ye, who was used to extreme sports, learn golf stroke by stroke was a kind of torture. She didn't plan on learning it properly anyway, and just watched Yan Baiyan's beautiful swing before walking down the long road to hit her second shot. Liu Dong's ball skills weren't bad either, although she didn't understand the game, but she could also hear Yan Baiyan's praise for his ball skills.

  The two men seemed to be getting along famously, as if they had known each other for years. But Su Ye's eyes were sharp and his ears were pointed, and the whole process of playing ball was more like a negotiation. Liu Dong continued to describe the future direction of the company's commercial development over the next few years, and deliberately revealed which international big brands were preparing to settle in, speaking with great passion and excitement.

  But Yan Bojian never chimed in, occasionally nodding his head as if in agreement, saying very little, and for most of the time Liu Dong was talking while he was playing basketball, seeming to listen yet not taking it seriously, looking like he was just focused on playing a serious game.

  Su Ye didn't know what was going on in his mind, at least he felt a little sorry for Liu Dong, who was talking to Yan Baiyan under the scorching sun, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get any emotional response from Yan Baiyan. He couldn't help but sigh, whoever got stuck with Yan Baiyan as an opponent would be unlucky, just his silence alone was enough to torture people.

  It wasn't until nearly an hour later, when Liu Dong finally sunk his last putt, that Boss Liu couldn't help but exclaim, "Beautiful! Three birdies in a row, impressive!"

  Su Ye stood beside him, craning his neck to look around, "Little bird? Where is the little bird?"

  Nian Baiyan was amused by her appearance, and Liu Dong finally seized the opportunity to lean in and say, "You see what we just said..." He left his words half spoken.

  "Yè yè, come here, I'll teach you." He looked over at Su Yè and beckoned her with his hand.

  "Hey, no need to stop on my account," Su Ye hastily waved her hand. "I'll just watch you guys play." She was about to collapse from exhaustion, hot and thirsty, "I'm going to rest in the lounge for a bit before coming back over."

  Nian Baiyan curled his lips into a smile, but this time he spoke to Liu Dong, "See? Just now she was still spirited and vigorous, now she's retreating with her tail between her legs. This is what happens when you overestimate your physical strength, just like this little girl."

  Su Ye watched from the side, her heart clear. This Liu Dong started with a long and grand speech, exaggerating his own entry conditions and benefits to the point of being unparalleled in heaven and earth. He was simply trying to psychologically pressure Yan Baiyan, but Yan Baiyan's previous words were typical of borrowing a topic to express himself. On the surface, he was using her abandonment of halfway to discuss the matter, but in reality, he was quietly warning Liu Dong to correct his own position and not overestimate himself.

  Even an outsider like her understood, let alone Liu Dong who had been through many business battles? His smile was a bit unnatural, his facial nerves twitching. Suye didn't plan to accompany them sunbathing anymore, and after half-heartedly teasing Yan Baiyan, she turned around and left.

  Just as she turned around, she heard Yan Bojian say calmly, "I need to lower the discount in the mall by another two percentage points. Otherwise, this game can't be played."

  Su Ye turned back and saw Liu Dong's facial muscles even more distorted.

  Nian Baiyan gently lifted the golf club, one stroke into the hole, successfully completing a beautiful finish, along with his words that had just fallen. The business world is a bloodless battlefield, Liu Dong rushed forward like a fierce warrior, carrying a strong bloody smell, but Nian Baiyan was like an archer standing still on the spot, and at the moment when the opponent gained momentum, he suddenly shot an arrow, which hit the opponent's heart, leaving no room for maneuver.

  Su Ye couldn't help but sweat for Liu Dong, the initiative of this game had been in Yan Baiyan's hands from the very beginning, did he still have a chance to win? As she thought about it, she couldn't help but think of herself, and her heart sank slightly.

  If it's her against Naruaki, can she really get what she wants?

  I am the dividing line Little Girl

  The cool air in the rest room relieved Su Ye's depression, and after resting for about half an hour, she got up to go back to the court to see if Yan Bo had finished playing, but there was no movement at all.

  She went into the washroom to wash her face, put on her hat again and was about to go out when a young woman walked in. She was wearing thin exercise clothes that couldn't hide her good figure. As she faced Su Ye walking towards her, the compact powder box slipped from her hand. She was shocked but before she could cry out, the powder box had been steadily caught by Su Ye just five or six centimeters away from the ground.

  Su Ye turned around and left. This was just a small episode, an irrelevant encounter between irrelevant people, but heaven always has its way, she didn't expect to meet that woman again so soon.
