They spent a total of four hours at the golf course.
Bian Shu spent a full hour teaching Sun Tianjiao, whose trembling legs betrayed his gratitude, leaving Chen Jiang dumbfounded on the sidelines.
Chen Jiang really wanted to ask why, in a movie involving three people, he didn’t deserve a name.
After finishing golf, Bian Shu handed the club to the caddy, wiping his palms with a damp towel. “There are still matters to attend to in my company. Let’s call it a day for today.”
Chen Jiang felt like a drowning fat man suddenly revived to full health. He clapped his thighs and hypocritically sighed, “Alright, alright. I also have a meeting over here. I was planning to chat more with Mr. Bian, but alas, time waits for no one. It’s a pity that my subordinates are not up to par. It’s really regrettable!”
Bian Shu smiled and said nothing.
So, the four of them rode back to the clubhouse, leaving Bian Shu and Mr. Chen to change clothes and shower, with only Chen Ting and Sun Tianjiao remaining.
Chen Ting glanced at Sun Tianjiao, quietly covering his lips with his fist.
“Cough.”
Sun Tianjiao took out his phone and absentmindedly opened the ride-hailing app.
Chen Ting: “….”
Wasn’t his intention to strike up a conversation obvious enough?
Sun Tianjiao wasn’t oblivious to social cues; he was troubled.
He hadn’t let the club’s private car send him here, after all, there were only two drivers, but there were so many people at the club. Plus, his place was far and out of the way, and the driver wouldn’t be able to return for a while.
He entered his destination and began to request a ride.
There were few nearby cars available, and several of them were obviously parked in the parking lot, probably opened by some wealthy people on a whim.
But when it came to leisure at the golf course or discussing business, no one would be willing to take orders.
Sun Tianjiao waited for ten minutes, as expected.
He was getting anxious.
With his hands in his pockets, Chen Ting casually rubbed the tip of his shoe against the smooth marble floor, seemingly nonchalant as he asked, “How did Manager Sun come to know Mr. Bian?”
Sun Tianjiao absentmindedly replied, “Through business.”
Chen Ting chuckled softly, “It must have been several years.”
Sun Tianjiao raised his head, puzzled, “No, just a couple of days ago.”
Chen Ting fell silent for a moment, evidently not believing it at all.
“Just a couple of days ago? Manager Sun, you’re too modest. President Bian treats you so—”
Chen Ting couldn’t even find the words to describe it.
Sun Tianjiao forced a smile, but since he hadn’t officially signed the contract with Chen, he could only reluctantly appease Chen Ting.
“Treats me how?”
Chen Ting: “Manager Sun, you really don’t know what Mr. Bian’s intentions were in bringing you here today?”
Sun Tianjiao: “What intentions?”
Chen Ting raised his head meaningfully, sighed towards the ceiling, “Ah, if my uncle doesn’t sign a contract with you, I won’t get to see Mr. Bian anymore.”
Sun Tianjiao pointed at his own nose, “You think Mr. Bian is helping me sign the contract?”
Chen Ting had an expression of “otherwise.”
Sun Tianjiao furrowed his brows, his expression complex. After a moment, he suddenly spoke sincerely, “Yes, don’t tell anyone, but my relationship with Mr. Bian is really special. Let me put it this way, to him, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for me.”
Chen Ting understood and smiled, “Exactly, so why did Manager Sun lie just now? If you had said earlier that your relationship with Mr. Bian is solid, we wouldn’t have had to put in so much effort for a small contract.”
Sun Tianjiao leaned in and secretly tapped Chen Ting’s chest, winking, “Keep it on the down-low.”
Chen Ting cooperatively covered his mouth.
Before long, Bian Shu and Chen Jiang emerged from the changing room.
Bian Shu was wearing the same restrained black windbreaker he had on when he arrived. Although it was the kind of brand that Sun Tianjiao hesitated to buy, Bian Shu’s attire was very low-key.
He didn’t adorn himself with flashy gold chains and watches like Chen Jiang, whose entire outfit screamed “I’m wealthy.”
What made Bian Shu more appealing was his quiet and reserved demeanor, along with a physique that rivaled that of a model.
As soon as Chen Jiang showed up, he was pulled aside by Chen Ting.
Chen Ting: “Uncle, their relationship is indeed quite deep. This Sun Tianjiao said that Bian Shu has no bottom line when it comes to him.”
Chen Jiang: “I can see that.”
Sun Tianjiao knew what Chen Ting would tell Chen Jiang. He suppressed a smile and didn’t bother to watch the excitement.
It was quite good to let Chen Jiang misunderstand. Maybe he could get a good deal when it came time for contract renewal.
And as long as Bian Shu himself didn’t know about this, he wouldn’t feel awkward.
Bian Shu glanced at Sun Tianjiao. “Has Manager Sun’s car arrived?”
Sun Tianjiao: “No, I’m taking a cab.”
Bian Shu nodded politely. “It might be difficult to get one here. No drivers seem willing to come. Why don’t you ride with me?”
Sun Tianjiao glanced at the empty window indicating no available drivers, frowned in thought for a moment, and slowly replied, “Alright.”
A hint of a smile flashed in Bian Shu’s eyes. “Good, let’s go then.”
With that, he turned and walked towards the door.
Sun Tianjiao, like a little tail, happily trotted after him, saving a hefty taxi fare once again.
Chen Ting: “See, Uncle?”
Chen Jiang: “Have you heard a rumor? It seems like Mr. Bian likes men.”
Chen Ting’s pupils dilated:
“What?”
Chen Jiang nodded solemnly, his face like calm water. “So, the one we just met might be Mr. Bian’s future spouse.”
Chen Ting was completely at a loss. “So that’s what Manager Sun meant earlier!”
Chen Jiang sneered, “Rich people are more adventurous than you think.”
Sun Tianjiao had no idea that his momentary showing off had been misconstrued by Chen Jiang as meaning something else.
He happily got into Bian Shu’s car, cautiously sitting in the back seat, inhaling the fresh scent inside the car, and sneakily stealing glances at Bian Shu.
Bian Shu was texting someone, his eyes showing a helpless indulgence.
Sun Tianjiao inadvertently caught sight of the girlish profile picture of the person on the other end and quickly averted his gaze.
She must be Bian Shu’s girlfriend.
Young and successful people always seem to have girlfriends.
Bian Ning: “Brother, did you ask him yet? Who does he actually like?”
Bian Shu: “Are you playing with your phone in class again?”
Bian Ning: “Don’t change the subject. This concerns my dignity!”
Bian Shu: “Do I even need to say? Of course, it’s me.”
Bian Ning: “Did he say it himself? He likes a boring guy like you, not a lively and cute rich beauty like me?”
Bian Shu raised his head, his expression calm, and asked in a calm voice, “Manager Sun, do you like our keyboard?”
Sun Tianjiao looked puzzled. Was this a customer feedback?
Sun Tianjiao’s compliments poured out endlessly: “Yes, I like it very much! It’s mainly because it looks good and is easy to use. It’s very fashionable.”
Bian Shu timely pressed the voice recording button and recorded Sun Tianjiao’s words, then sent it over.
Bian Ning: “….”
Bian Shu thought for a moment, then furrowed his brows and asked, “Manager Sun, do you like clients like me or someone like Mr. Chen?”
Sun Tianjiao thought to himself, this ride wasn’t in vain.
“You, of course, it’s you.”
Bian Shu released the voice recording button, looked at the two messages he sent, and smiled satisfactorily.
Bian Ning: “Damn, he has no taste!”
Bian Shu: “No swearing, pay attention to class.”
Sun Tianjiao found it amusing.
It seems that President Bian’s relationship with his girlfriend is really good. Even chatting can’t help but make him smile.
Sun Tianjiao: “Mr. Bian and his girlfriend have a really good relationship.”
Bian Shu raised an eyebrow slightly and repeated, “Girlfriend?”
Sun Tianjiao nodded. “Yes, your gaze just now was so indulgent and gentle. Your girlfriend must be very happy.”
Bian Shu’s eyes deepened slightly, his eyelids trembling slightly, adding a hint of profound meaning to his expression.
Bian Shu: “Yes.” He didn’t deny the fact that he had a ‘girlfriend’, but instead said, “Actually, I’ve been deceived in love before.”
Sun Tianjiao took a sharp breath.
As a man himself, Sun Tianjiao couldn’t help but feel that Bian Shu’s conditions were really outstanding.
As a second-generation rich, Bian Shu not only didn’t become a wastrel squandering his family fortune, but instead, he was young and promising, taking up the mantle of the company at an early age.
And during his tenure, the Bian Group not only didn’t decline but also became better and better because it could better cater to the preferences of young people.
Even without considering wealth and ability, Bian Shu’s appearance was absolutely outstanding, at least in comparison to Sun Tianjiao.
Despite having a basket full of virtues, Bian Shu remained humble and courteous. Sun Tianjiao noticed he couldn’t play golf, but Bian Shu didn’t seem to mind. His demeanor and character were impeccable.
Could someone like him also be treated poorly?
Sun Tianjiao: “Is the other person a princess from another country?”
Bian Shu finally chuckled at his teasing, “Not quite.”
Sun Tianjiao: “Then she’s really blind. You’re more than worthy of a princess.”
Bian Shu modestly shook his head, “I was young back then, experiencing my first crush.”
Sun Tianjiao lamented, “First love is easy to be deceived by. I was the same. But we learn from our mistakes. Look at your current girlfriend, she’s great.”
Bian Shu didn’t mention his girlfriend again, continuing to recount his experience with a scumbag.
“At that time, he needed me, and I was happy to help. I used to feel a lot of pressure, comparing myself to my predecessors, feeling like I had so much to learn. But chatting with him was easy and enjoyable, and I unintentionally developed feelings for him, putting even more effort into helping him. I had intended to express my feelings after returning to the country, but after he was done using me, he deleted me as a friend and disappeared without a trace.”
Sun Tianjiao’s eyes widened in condemnation, “What a scumbag!”
Bian Shu: “Is he?”
Sun Tianjiao indignantly replied, “Of course! That’s just burning bridges after crossing the river. He’s so unscrupulous.”
Bian Shu looked up at him, “Perhaps because I never met him, I always had some fantasies about him, and couldn’t completely forget.”
Sun Tianjiao dryly remarked, “Online… online dating.”
Bian Shu nodded, “Indeed.”
Sun Tianjiao added, “There are so many scammers on the Internet. If she didn’t even give you her photo, she definitely had ulterior motives.”
Bian Shu: “But I still felt something for him.”
Sun Tianjiao: “Forget about it. She’s too despicable. Investing in him would surely bankrupt you!”
Bian Shu chuckled softly, “If I ever see him again, I don’t know what I’d do.”
Sun Tianjiao suggested, “Teach her a lesson! Show off your wealth, your worth, your looks, make her regret for life, beg for reconciliation on her knees, then disdainfully leave her.”
Bian Shu: “Would he regret it?”
Sun Tianjiao: “Of course! You’re so amazing. Anyone who finds out that you were the one who got dumped by him would regret it.”
Bian Shu fell into silent contemplation, suddenly saying nothing.
Sun Tianjiao also shut his mouth dejectedly, feeling a bit too talkative.
Someone of Bian Shu’s status wouldn’t bother with petty revenge against an ex, it’s beneath him.
About ten minutes later, Bian Shu suddenly asked, “Manager Sun, how are the stocks you picked performing?”
Sun Tianjiao sighed, “Not good, they’re all in the red.”
