President and Special Assistant 2

Early in the morning, Lu Yan followed Su Mo out. After the car drove for a while, Lu Yan felt something was wrong, “Aren’t you going to the company?”

Su Mo smiled and said, “Today is the weekend, even the president doesn’t have to go to work.”

Lu Yan suddenly realized that the nature of his work did not include weekends, so he always only remembered the date and rarely remembered the day of the week. “So where are we going?”

“I’ve made an appointment with some business partners to play ball together.” Su Mo said as he drove steadily.

“Golf?” Lu Yan asked. Generally, rich people like to play this game.

“Yes,” Su Mo replied, and then asked, “Can you play it?”

Lu Yan said frankly, “I’ve never played it.”

“It doesn’t matter. We go there early. Others have to wait until after nine o’clock. I’ll teach you first. It’s very simple. It doesn’t matter even if you don’t play well. Their skills are just average.” Su Mo comforted.

“What about yours?” Lu Yan asked.

“It’s okay.” Su Mo smiled at him.

Lu Yan understood that Su Mo’s performance was good enough for most people.

Su Mo took Lu Yan to the most upscale golf club in the city, which adopted a membership system and required one to show his membership card upon entering. However, the highest level Diamond Card members could basically get ahead with just their looks, so when Su Mo and Lu Yan showed up, a manager came up to them and smiled respectfully at Su Mo, “Hello, Mr. Su, which court are you going to use today?”

“Is there a reservation for number 6?” Su Mo asked.

“Not yet,” the manager replied.

“Then let’s go with number six. I have a few friends coming over later, tell them where I am.” When in front of outsiders, Su Mo always had a strong aura, and his tone and demeanor were full of irresistible majesty.

“Okay, Mr. Su.” The manager bowed and called the waiter to take them to the locker room.

Each diamond card member had his or her own independent dressing room. Su Mo asked the waiter to stay outside and took Lu Yan in and closed the door.

Su Mo opened the closet, took out a brand new jersey and handed it to Lu Yan: a light-colored Polo-style T-shirt paired with cotton casual trousers, and leather-style studded shoes.

“I asked someone to prepare it in advance. Try it and see if it fits you.” Su Mo said.

The style of Su Mo’s own set was similar to the one in Lu Yan’s hand, with only slight differences in color.

Of course, it fit. Both of them were tall and handsome, and wearing similar jerseys, they really looked like couples.

Su Mo turned around and took out two wide-brimmed sun hats from another cabinet. Summer was approaching, and wearing such sun hats could not only protect against direct sunlight, but also add a touch of elegance. Another person was wearing a pair of soft, thin white gloves. Although Lu Yan had never played golf, he knew that this was to prevent injuries to the palm from violent friction with the club.

After opening the door, the people standing outside were no longer the waiter who brought them in, but two beautiful caddies. They were tall and wore standard golf uniforms. Their long hair was neatly tied up and hidden in their hats. They had smiles on their faces and looked full of youth.

The two followed the caddies and got into a special cart, on which several golf clubs were neatly arranged.

The car quickly took them to Golf Course No. 6. The two got out of the car, and the caddies followed behind with the golf clubs in their arms.

When they arrived at the teeing area, the caddie put the ball on the tee. Su Mo took a wooden club from another caddie and waved his hand, signaling the two to move away.

After the two caddies left, Su Mo handed the club to Lu Yan, “Here, try the grip first. This is your first time playing, so you can try the overlapping grip method, which can better keep your hands as one, and help you control the balance of the force applied by your left and right hands.”

As Su Mo spoke, he instructed Lu Yan to hold the club in the standard position. Lu Yan had large palms and long, strong fingers, which made him very suitable for this grip.

The two of them were very close to each other. Su Mo lowered his head, put his fingers on Lu Yan’s hand, and explained seriously. After talking for a while, he didn’t hear Lu Yan’s response, so he couldn’t help but raise his head, “What’s wrong?”

Lu Yan’s eyes were fixed on his hands. When he heard the question, he smiled and said, “I’m looking at your hands. They are really beautiful.”

Su Mo smiled and said, “It seems that Mr. Lu has already learned it, so let’s give it a try.”

Lu Yan held his hand that was about to be released and smiled flatteringly, “Don’t, I will study hard, you continue.”

Su Mo stopped caring about it and waited until Lu Yan’s hands were wrapped around the handle beautifully and brightly. He looked both gentle and elegant, yet powerful, both beautiful and natural, as if he had true energy inside. Su Mo was also a little stunned. He couldn’t help but quote Lu Yan’s words just now in his mind, it was really beautiful!

After gripping the club, the next step was standing. Su Mo first asked Lu Yan to determine the standing position, stand with both feet together, and slightly turn the left foot assembly outward, shifting the center of gravity to the left foot, and adjusting to a suitable posture.

Afterwards, Su Mo explained the key points of aiming the ball and swinging the club, and let Lu Yan try it himself.

Lu Yan took two deep breaths, relaxed his fingers slightly, and held the club tightly. In order to make the swing smoother, he gently swung the club head left and right before starting, which helped to relieve the tension of the muscles throughout the body and concentrate his energy.

After getting ready, Lu Yan swung back, swung up, swung to the fixed point, swung down, and hit the ball. The movements were so beautiful that Su Mo’s eyes couldn’t help but dance along. However, perhaps because he was too nervous, he didn’t even touch the edge of the ball with the first shot. Only a small gust of wind caused by the swing made the ball shake a little.

Lu Yan raised his head somewhat awkwardly and looked at Su Mo.

Su Mo held back his laughter and comforted him, “It’s okay, it’s the first time, it’s like this. The action just now was very good, let’s do it again.”

The second shot still didn’t touch the ball, but the third shot was better, the club finally touched the ball, but the ball fell directly off the tee, leaving the caddy no chance to pick up the ball.

The next few shots were similar, with not much improvement.

Lu Yan’s handsome face was already covered with sweat, half hot and half smelly.

Su Mo stopped smiling. He carefully observed Lu Yan’s movements, thought for a moment, walked over and stood behind him, stretched out his hand and held his hand, whispering, “Come on, don’t be anxious, try again.”

Lu Yan swung again, and Su Mo imitated his movements behind him.

This time the shot went a little further, but just deviated in direction.

One caddie followed the direction of the ball to pick it up, and the other came over and put a new ball on the tee.

Su Mo seemed to have found the reason why Lu Yan had poor hitting skills. He stood behind him, helped him adjust his posture, and taught him how to use the strength of his feet and waist to control the speed and direction of the swing.

After that, Lu Yan made some progress, but after practicing for a while, he was still a little shabby. Fortunately, Su Mo was very patient and would carefully help him adjust his posture and direction every time, explaining the reasons and details to him.

The postures of the two were extremely intimate, and several times they were even whispering to each other, but because it was a teaching matter, no one thought too much about it.

After Lu Yan got tired of playing, Su Mo played a few rounds for him to see. Of course, Su Mo’s level was more than just okay as he said, but close to professional level. Whether it was a par 5, a par 4, or a par 3, he almost always scored within the standard.  Moreover, his movements were natural and smooth, like flowing clouds and running water, which was pleasing to the eyes.

Lu Yan gave a thumbs up, “Great!”

Su Mo smiled and accepted the praise as a matter of course.

Around nine o’clock, the people Su Mo had arranged to meet also arrived. They were all big names in the business world. Even if Lu Yan had never met them, he had heard of them to some extent. There were not many people, only three or five. Su Mo introduced Lu Yan to them very naturally. They all said “Nice to meet you”, but they were a little confused in their hearts. Who was this young talent? Why had they never heard of him before? As big bosses with a lot of things to do every day, they naturally wouldn’t follow entertainment news every day like ordinary people. It was normal that they didn’t know Lu Yan, even though he was already a big star.

Su Mo did not explain Lu Yan’s identity in detail, and the big bosses did not ask any further questions. After all, it would always be a good idea to make friends with someone who appeared with Su Mo.

A few people invited Lu Yan to play a few rounds together. Lu Yan shook his head and said with a smile, “I just played for a while and I am a little tired. Have fun.”

The others looked at Su Mo and saw that he just chuckled and didn’t say anything. They didn’t try to persuade him and just left it at that. After all, the target today was only Su Mo. As for the man surnamed Lu, as long as they were all in the business place, there would always be a chance for them to bump into each other in the future, and they could make good friends then.

Su Mo followed the others to the stadium. Someone in the crowd said lazily, “I’m too lazy to move. I won’t go either. You guys go have fun.”

The person who spoke was the only person present besides Su Mo who knew Lu Yan, He Ming, Young Master He.

Given Young Master He’s status and position, everyone was here to show their support and give him face, so naturally no one dared to force him. They just made a few jokes and left.

Lu Yan and He Ming were old acquaintances, so they were naturally not restrained. They sat down in the lounge together and drank the drinks prepared by the club.

The rest area was located at a higher altitude with a good view, and one could easily overlook the entire field. Lu Yan watched Su Mo and the others tee off in the teeing area, playing slowly one shot at a time.

After watching for a while, Lu Yan also saw that, just as Su Mo said, those people’s skills were not very good, so Su Mo did not try his best, occasionally letting them go so that even if they lost, they would not lose too badly. After all, it was not a competition, it was just a means of communication, and it was only true happiness when everyone was happy.

He Ming found it a little funny to see Lu Yan staring at Su Mo. “Why, are you stunned? He looks pretty good when he plays golf, right? Su Mo’s level is far better than that. Those people are not even worthy of being his opponents.”

Lu Yan glanced at He Ming, and was a little dissatisfied with his expression that he knew him very well. He said lightly, “I know.”

He Ming was not stupid. On the contrary, he was very perceptive. He of course noticed Lu Yan’s dissatisfaction and found it even more amusing. He said with a smile, “Why, you are unhappy? Little guy! When I met Su Mo, you were probably still in elementary school. We have been together for so many years. You can’t compare to us.”

“So what?” Lu Yan raised his eyebrows. “Life is still a long time. Sooner or later, the time I spend with him will exceed the time you spend with him.”

“Oh, are you serious?” He Ming touched his nose and said with a smile.

Lu Yan did not deny it, “I have always been very serious about his affairs.”

“You are the first person who dares to talk to me like this in the past few years. But I like your personality.” He Ming laughed and said jokingly, “Now you know how good I am? You didn’t even pay any attention to me at first.”

“It’s a different time now, and it’s not too late to cherish now,” said Lu Yan.

He Ming looked at him in silence for a while, then continued, “I don’t have many friends, and you two are part of them. Seeing you like this now, I feel very good, and I sincerely hope that you can stay like this for the rest of your lives. However, let me be frank first. If one day you two have a quarrel, I will definitely stand on his side.”

“I won’t give you such an opportunity.” Lu Yan looked into his eyes and said seriously.

“That’s best.” He Ming smiled and said, “When will you invite me to your wedding?”

“There will be a chance.” Lu Yan said.

He Ming suddenly came over and whispered in Lu Yan’s ear, “There is something I have been curious about for a long time. Which of you two is on top?”

Lu Yan looked like he didn’t know what to say to him, and raised his eyebrows and said, “You’re the only one who can ask such a direct question about this matter.”

“Haha,” He Ming said with a look of disapproval, “Because I have a special status. Hey, satisfy my curiosity, it’s rare for me to gossip.” As he spoke, he bumped the other person’s arm.

“Guess.” Lu Yan raised his eyebrows.

“I guess,” He Ming lowered his voice and said firmly, “it’s you.”

“Oh, why do you think so?” Lu Yan was also a little curious.

“Just judging by your attitude of questioning me just now, you are not someone who would be inferior to others.” He Ming pursed his lips and smiled, “And I know that Su Mo loves you. If he loves someone, he would want to give him all the good things in the world. He wouldn’t care about the trivial things in bed.”

“Are you so sure? Do you know him so well?” Lu Yan asked back.

“Oh, the extra years I’ve known him weren’t for nothing.” He Ming smiled and said, “Just tell me if I’m right or not.”

Lu Yan smiled but said nothing.

He Ming pointed at him with his index finger and said, “You’re great, kid. It turns out that man-eating tigers don’t roar. It’s quite exciting to think about it this way.” He Ming touched his chin deliberately.

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes dangerously, “No matter how attractive he is, he is still mine.”

“Haha,” He Ming stood up, “I really admire you more and more. Let’s go, do you want to go down and have a fight?”

“Aren’t you too lazy to move?” Lu Yan teased.

“I’m too lazy to fight with those guys, but you’re different. You’re very interesting.” He Ming said with a smile.

“Ha.” Lu Yan laughed and stood up, “Then let’s have a fight.”

He Ming’s golf skills were pretty good. He only needed one more stroke to complete the par 4. He held the club and rushed towards Lu Yan, saying with a smile, “What do you think? I’m pretty good, right? Come on, try it.”

Lu Yan smiled slightly, said nothing, and took the golf club from the caddy. He always preferred to speak facts.

After Lu Yan finished the fight, He Ming was a little bit incredulous, “Have you practiced before? Such a standard!”

“First time here.” Lu Yan said with a smile.

“Impossible, no one can play so well for the first time.” He Ming said.

Lu Yan turned his head and looked at Su Mo, who was no longer playing golf but seemed to be discussing business with the big bosses. He was still very charming and full of aura when talking about business in his jersey. He smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, “That’s just because the teacher teaches well and the students are talented.”
