In front of him, a soft back pressed against his chest, and the rhythm of his heartbeat echoed clearly in the middle.
Xiao Cheng tightened his embrace, tilting his chin forward to gently rest on Bai Lu's shoulder and neck.
Hold her hand and the golf club tightly.
"good."
Bai Lu heard the rational and clear-headed voice beside her ear and knew that the boss had recovered. She chuckled and tilted her head slightly.
Her cheek brushed against his lips as expected, and she asked softly, "Which city should we attack first?"
Xiao Cheng's cold gaze softened, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the toad walking this way, a dark glint flashing in his deep eyes.
He hugged Bailu tightly again, his voice and lips falling on her neck as he replied, "I'll listen to you."
A tingling sensation pierced through her neck, accompanied by a slight, familiar sucking pain. Bai Lu knew without looking that her neck had been branded.
She smiled gently.
"Then let's attack Xingcheng first!"
Xingcheng is Xu Dongtai's territory, and its main economy consists of rapidly developing real estate and commercial streets.
Xiao Cheng's chain of electrical appliance stores is located in Xingcheng, and business is very good, ranking among the top three in sales among the fifteen cities.
It has remained at a consistently high level.
It's normal for Xu Dongtai to be envious.
But what made Xu Dongtai most envious was not that Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu attacked Xingcheng first, but that Xiao Cheng's "good" to Bai Lu always came from Bai Lu's neck.
As the ball was passed, the large, extra hand was already grasping the small, fair hand, and they both swung their clubs.
A white golf ball streaks across the sky.
Follow the fairway, cross the rough, and the water hazard.
While Xu Dongtai stared in disbelief, they avoided the sandpit and stormed the Xingcheng green.
500 yards is too far; Xu Dongtai doubted his eyesight.
He Yongli also doubted his eyesight for the first time.
The big boss narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze not fluctuating much, seemingly surprised yet reasonable.
He put down his golf club, took off his gloves, sat back in his armchair, and opened a bottle of mineral water to take a couple of sips.
He then leisurely took out his phone and made a call.
Where?
"At Xiao Cheng's house, attending his housewarming banquet, and gathering military intelligence, boss."
The other end of the phone was bustling with noise.
The big boss slightly raised his eyes and glanced at the young couple who were walking towards the "Xingcheng" golf course area.
"Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu are your deskmates?"
Phone call: "No, they went somewhere early this morning. I didn't see them when I came. Xiao Cheng's younger brother doesn't know where Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu went either. He only knows that they went out to run errands and said they would be back soon, but they haven't returned yet. They're about to start the banquet."
Big Boss: "You sent Jinshui and Jinmu to Xilong Bay?"
Phone call: "Yes, that's right. The starting point of Xiao Cheng's fruit trade waterway is at Xilong Bay Wharf! Jinshui and Jinmu can monitor Xiao Cheng's water transport trade at all times when they go to Xilong Bay, and notify you immediately of any major news."
"Why haven't we heard any messages from them lately?"
"No? I told them to notify you first, and then me, as soon as they find out anything useful. I'll ask them later."
"Are they still in Xilong Bay?" The big boss tapped the cigar between his fingers, his tone seemingly casual.
There was a voice calling out on the other end of the phone, followed by a quick reply: "Finally, it's quiet. Boss, Jinshui and Jinmu are still in Xilong Bay!"
The big boss narrowed his eyes slightly, the smoke obscuring his expression: "Didn't Xiao Cheng's new factory open?"
Phone call: "Yes!"
Big Boss: "Is Jinshui and Jinmu still in Xilong Bay?"
Phone call: "That's right! Xiao Cheng opened a fruit factory in Pingcheng last month. All the fruit from Xiaojia Village will definitely be sold to him. He won't be doing business exporting to Guangdong Province anymore. Xiao Cheng's factory is so big. As of today, he has more than 600 workers. You can imagine how big the production volume is!"
"The fruit from Xiao Family Village alone is not enough. The fruit from the entire Pingcheng combined is not enough. Xiao Cheng has to source goods from other cities, by both water and land. The delivery point for the waterway is still Xilong Bay. Jinshui and Jinmu will continue to guard Xilong Bay. There shouldn't be any problem!"
The boss's slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Wow! It's in! It's in!
"My husband is so amazing! He taught me step by step over such a long distance of 500 yards. I hit the green on the first shot, the pin was right next to the hole on the second shot, and I potted the ball on the third shot. I really potted the ball in three shots from 500 yards!"
The girls' excited cheers echoed throughout the stadium.
During this time, Xu Dongtai's sarcastic remarks about Xiao Cheng could be heard, but the girl, oblivious to the irony in his words, retorted with sarcasm.
Xu Dongtai didn't reply, so he scolded Qiu Mei for being clumsy and unable to learn how to play ball, saying she was embarrassing him.
The four returned to the tee box; two were chatting and laughing hand in hand, while one of them was cursing.
The big boss had no interest in listening to the trivial daily work reports over the phone and said something before hanging up.
"I'm going back to Nanshi tomorrow."
"Morning, noon, or evening?"
"daytime."
"Yes, boss!"
Even after the call ended, the other end of the line was still bustling with noise and laughter.
There were also quite a few shouts.
"Li Jianfeng, come and serve the food!"
Li Jianfeng smoothed his flowing, handsome hair back and strode confidently out from the dark corner at the end of the street.
In an instant, all the guests sitting at the tables on the entire street turned to look in one direction.
There was surprise, curiosity, and interest, but not the fear, rejection, or disgust I felt when I first saw it.
Among them, the most conspicuous impatient gaze was directed at the figure in the aisle between the two rows of round tables.
The figure was carrying a tray that contained not vegetables, but fresh fruit and fruit juice.
Nevertheless, Li Jianfeng firmly stated his position: "I'm here to eat at the banquet, not to serve the dishes!"
