DSF Chapter 131

Sun Tianjiao hugged the exquisite porcelain, no, hugged the dazzling top-tier golf club, his gaze wandering around the luxurious service hall even more luxurious than SKP.

As soon as he entered here, he felt a tightness in his skin and a contraction of his bladder, similar to his mentality when he first entered a luxury store for tailored clothing.

That time, it was Yan Yibing who accompanied him, this eloquent negotiation prodigy didn’t say a word.

The bargaining lines flowed from his brain to the tip of his tongue, then poured back from the tip of his tongue into his brain, forming a perfect loop, not letting out a single embarrassing word.

Yan Yibing often frequented such occasions, communicating with the store manager very smoothly, very professionally, and very annoyingly expensive.

He just stood on the side, imitating, and by the second visit to the tailor shop, he could already talk confidently.

But this was his first time at a golf course. Everything here was unfamiliar to him, but obviously, the others who spoke confidently were quite familiar with this place. This information discrepancy made him feel very insecure, as if a chick had fallen into a phoenix nest, trembling even to flap its wings.

Bian Shu reached out to him, and said lightly, “Give it to me.”

Sun Tianjiao suddenly snapped back to reality, stunned for a moment, his mind a bit slow to respond, and asked, “What?”

Bian Shu didn’t say anything more, just gestured with his eyes towards the golf club in Sun Tianjiao’s hand.

Sun Tianjiao’s nerves short-circuited completely at this point, and he hurriedly handed the ‘porcelain’ that was burning his hands to Bian Shu, then rubbed his palms on his pants leg, finding words where there were none, “Uh, I didn’t expect to arrive before Mr. Bian.”

Bian Shu took the black package, paused for a few seconds on Sun Tianjiao’s face with his gaze, before slowly saying, “I specially came out to pick you up.”

Sun Tianjiao felt as if he had been struck by a divine thunderbolt, a sudden pain from the top of his head to his fingertips, and in the depths of his mind, a celestial voice, the noble and cold Bai Suzhen visiting his little pharmacy, shouting, “Tremble, mortal, I have come specially to favor you.”

Was Bian Shu trying to negotiate the price? To what extent was he willing to go, actually personally picking him up?

No way!

He had seen this negotiation tactic many times before: first gain the other party’s trust and gratitude, then naturally propose a low price. Before the other party could recover from the impulse of emotional attachment, strike a fatal blow.

Sun Tianjiao’s brain spun rapidly, his eyes unpredictable, and his lips stiffly twitched.

Was he someone who capsized in a ditch?

Joke!

At most, he could haggle for two hundred thousand, nothing else was negotiable!

Bian Shu, seeing Sun Tianjiao’s sudden change in demeanor and inappropriate stiffness, raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s wrong, you’re not happy that I came out to pick you up?”

“How could that be!” Sun Tianjiao’s tongue quickly swept across his lower lip, as if a killer wiping the blade with a cloth before killing, he pursed his lips, and his tongue spoke as if it had been polished, “I just didn’t expect, Mr. Bian, you’re so accomplished at such a young age, and yet so approachable. Actually, you could have just informed the assistant or caddy, but I…”

Sun Tianjiao didn’t blink his eyes, a few hundred words of rainbow fart little essay spewing out of his mouth.

Like a bee buzzing around someone incessantly.

Bian Shu had never seen someone so good at flattering, flattering him until he felt his scalp tingling. Finally unable to bear it, he raised his hand to cover Sun Tianjiao’s mouth.

Sun Tianjiao was startled, instinctively leaning back to avoid Bian Shu’s hand, but the torrent of flattery was naturally interrupted.

Bian Shu’s palm paused a few centimeters from his lips, a pair of very obvious hands of a scholar, with a broad palm, clear palm lines, a faint callus at the base of the ring finger, seemingly a trace left by playing the violin.

His fingers were slender, with slightly messy creases around the knuckles, and near the middle finger nail, there was a bump caused by improper pen use.

Sun Tianjiao blinked, as if he could feel the warmth from Bian Shu’s palm spreading to his lips, very hot.

Bian Shu timely withdrew his hand, frowned, “Noisy.”

Sun Tianjiao shrunk his neck, patting his lips with his palm to indicate that they were sealed shut and he wouldn’t speak anymore.

Bian Shu found it amusing in his heart, murmuring softly, “I’ve also made an appointment with someone else for business, he should be waiting by now.”

Sun Tianjiao gestured for him to go ahead, signaling with his closed lips—

I’m not in a hurry, you go ahead with your business first?

Bian Shu: “Let’s go together.”

Sun Tianjiao: “….”

In his heart, he silently prayed, Is it appropriate?

But he was sensible enough not to argue with Bian Shu.

As they walked towards the rest area, Bian Shu asked, “Why didn’t you bring your golf club and clothes?”

Sun Tianjiao cautiously swallowed his saliva.

He didn’t have this stuff at all because he wasn’t particularly into sports.

But he still said, “The old club is worn out pretty badly, and the new one hasn’t been delivered yet. I’ll just watch you play.”

Bian Shu: “Hmm, how’s your game?”

It was just casual small talk, at least in Bian Shu’s eyes.

Or rather, in the eyes of everyone here. As soon as they passed by, Sun Tianjiao could hear all sorts of flashy big shots exchanging swing techniques.

He felt that a nerve called dignity had been slightly touched, so before his brain could come up with modesty, his mouth, already polished, was prideful.

“It’s okay, amateur level. Haven’t had much time to practice, you know Tiger Woods, right? I used to consult him with a few friends abroad.”

As soon as he said it, he regretted it a bit because one lie required countless lies to cover it up.

If he didn’t want to reveal his nervousness, he had to quickly level up this skill point.

Bian Shu nodded, “How many GIRs do you usually hit?”

Sun Tianjiao: “?”

What the hell is GIR?

He only knew GIFs as animated images.

Sun Tianjiao grinned, “How many, Mr. Bian?”

Bian Shu: “7, I guess.”

Sun Tianjiao: “About the same for me.”

Bian Shu raised an eyebrow, “Not bad.”

Sun Tianjiao broke into a cold sweat, feeling that he couldn’t continue this topic any longer, or he would definitely slip up.

Just as he was about to steer the conversation back on track, Bian Shu suddenly raised his hand and waved to someone nearby.

Sun Tianjiao held back his words and followed Bian Shu’s gaze.

Chen Jiang, with his beer belly protruding, wearing a white jersey stretched over his belly, looked like a steamed bun with wrinkles, approached them with enthusiasm.

“Hey there, Mr. Bian, seeing you in person is better than hearing about you. Hello, hello.”

But then, Chen Jiang’s gaze shifted, and he saw Sun Tianjiao next to Bian Shu.

Chen Jiang looked at Sun Tianjiao, Sun Tianjiao looked at Chen Jiang.

Sun Tianjiao: “???”

Chen Jiang: “???”

Amidst the festive atmosphere, there was a hint of awkwardness.

The scene of drinking and competing with each other last night was vivid in their minds, as Sun Tianjiao shredded the contract, wrinkled and stained with alcohol, into the paper shredder.

Bian Shu seemed oblivious to anything, calmly introducing, “This is my friend, Sun Tianjiao, the manager. And this is Chen Jiang, the CEO.”

Sun Tianjiao cast a fiery glance at Bian Shu.

Sure enough!

Bian Shu and Chen Jiang knew each other. He shouldn’t have told Bian Shu Chen Jiang’s name this morning.

How awkward is this now? So awkward!

Bian Shu must have known the price Chen Jiang wanted to pressure him with and felt he had signed a bad deal, so he brought Chen Jiang here to confront him!

Sun Tianjiao broke out in a cold sweat, feeling immense pressure.

If things didn’t go well today, both deals might fall through!

Chen Jiang felt equally conflicted.

Sun Tianjiao and Bian Shu were friends?

What kind of friends?

They could play golf together, so their relationship must be extraordinary.

He had previously thought Sun Tianjiao was young and had no background, so he relentlessly pressed for a lower price, refused to sign the contract, and even forced drinks on him.

Now thinking about it, for someone so young to manage a top-tier esports club, he was truly unfathomable.

Chen Jiang also broke out in a cold sweat.

No wonder Bian Shu was reluctant to sell the commercial space in the development area to his nephew, it turns out he had offended him from here.

It’s obvious now why Bian Shu brought Sun Tianjiao here today.

You pay, I pay.

Sun Tianjiao smiled wryly.

What a dangerous situation!

Chen Jiang smiled wryly too.

What a perilous situation indeed!
