âSure. I hope to hear good news from you soon.â Although Gu Shaoting was anxious, he felt helpless too. After all, he was asking John for a huge loan. His business partner wouldnât agree just like that.
âOkay, Iâll give you an answer as soon as possible.â Mr. John nodded. He wanted to consider it carefully.
Mr. John looked at the weather outside. The sun was shining brightly over the city and the sky was blue and cloudless.
It was probably because of the showers in the past few days that the weather got exceptionally good today.
âShaoting, letâs put our worries aside for now. Do you have time today? How about we play two rounds of golf?â John said out of whim. He rarely had time to golf. Now that he saw Gu Shaoting and knew how stressed he had been, he suggested for him to take a break.
Gu Shaotingâs task today was to persuade Mr. John to invest in his company. But upon hearing Johnâs words, Gu Shaoting decided that he should be present and supportive.
âSure. I can also take this opportunity to learn from you.â Gu Shaoting said modestly.
Mr. John changed into something casual. When he came out, Charlene found out that they were going to play golf and asked to join them.
Charlene would never give up on such a good opportunity. She already didnât have much opportunity to spend time with her Brother Gu. Plus, he wouldnât reject her since her father was around.
Charlene also change into some branded golf attire with a fitted top and short skirt that accentuated her graceful figure.
She also wore a sun hat and looked very youthful and energetic.
Gu Shaoting drove familiarly to an outdoor golf course in the suburbs.
After they arrived and got their tee time, Mr. John couldnât wait to get started.
He handed a golf club to Gu Shaoting. Gu Shaoting hadnât played for a while and sort of missed it. He didnât refuse and took the golf club, aimed at the first hole, and swung it.
The ball spun beautifully around the hole three times before falling in.
Charlene was also a good golfer. She took a sip of water and cheered for Gu Shaoting before she raised her club and took aim. After a long time, she swung the club and got a hole-in-one too.
She then said dejectedly, âBrother Gu, look, my standard is far from yours.â
When Mr. John heard this, he could not help but find it suspicious. It was so strange. His beloved daughter was an excellent golfer. Why was she so slow today?
The father and daughter would usually play a few rounds of golf together when they were free. Charlene had been professionally trained. He couldnât figure out his daughterâs intentions today.
But he didnât call her out. After all, she was his daughter and he wouldnât embarrass her.
âMy skill level is just average. I havenât played for a while and have gotten a little rusty.â Gu Shaoting watched Mr. John swing his club like a pro and felt that he was just average.
After about half an hour, Gu Shaoting and Charlene handed their clubs to the caddy who was waiting at the side. They took their towels, some ice water and walked under the cart reclinerâs umbrella. They leaned leisurely on the recliner and watched John show off his skills on the green alone.
Perhaps Gu Shaoting had been thinking about too many problems lately. He hadnât been able to sleep since he arrived in France. He felt a little sleepy now after some exercise.
Gu Shaoting raised his hand to block the sun and closed his eyes to rest.
Charlene looked at Gu Shaoting with affection. She knew what was troubling him. She had overheard their conversation when she passed by her fatherâs study.
