If I can't beat you at billiards, how can I not beat you at golf?
Zhou Jun rarely went to Tian Guang Hall; he mostly went there to accompany Zhou Ji to play billiards.
But he still visited Mingyue Night more often. Although Zhou Ji had returned, Zhou Junchang had not completely let go of Mingyue Night.
Firstly, it's to do what I can; secondly, it's to kill time, since I'm idle anyway.
So, during one of Zhou Junchang's shifts, he happened to run into Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji was dressed in a suit, looking very proper. He was quite tall, and the suits were all custom-made, making him look very well-proportioned.
Zhou Ji looked tired, as if he had been busy all day.
Zhou Ji asked the bar to arrange a private room, then ordered a drink for himself and sat down to savor it slowly.
The bar has both large and small private rooms. The large ones have a large rotating table that can seat more than ten people.
Zhou Ji always orders a large private room. Zhou Ji is usually busy attending banquets and drinking with various leaders. At the table, he clinks glasses and exchanges a lot of polite words, but he rarely gets to fill his stomach.
Therefore, Zhou Ji would usually come to the hotel again after finishing his social engagements.
Every time Zhou Ji orders a large private room, he also invites the brothers on duty to eat with him.
Zhou Ji wasn't afraid of noise, and seemed to even prefer it.
This time is no exception.
Zhou Junchang was holding a shaker to his ear and shaking it vigorously, so much so that some veins were visible on his hands.
Zhou Ji said, "I'll call the brothers to have dinner together later."
Zhou Junchang put down the shaker and looked at Zhou Ji: "Yes, I'll talk to them."
The bar lights flickered on and off, and the heavy beats of electronic music on the dance floor made people feel uneasy.
Perhaps because he was used to it, Zhou Junchang was not disturbed at all.
Mix the drinks step by step, following the instructions.
Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Not bad, you're getting more and more skilled these past few days."
Zhou Jun often couldn't say anything humble; he just kept shaking his head.
Finally, a slice of lemon was placed on the outside of the wine glass.
This was a long drink, so Zhou Ji drank it slowly.
He enjoys wine but is not addicted to it.
Moreover, Zhou Ji had an exceptionally high alcohol tolerance.
Zhou Junchang went back to his own business, and it was almost an hour later when Zhou Ji finished his drink.
By this time, most of the people in the store had left.
So most of the guys in the shop went to Zhou Ji's private room.
As soon as Zhou Junchang entered the room, he heard a girl's voice.
Her voice stood out exceptionally well among the group of men.
Her voice wasn't deliberately affected, yet every note at the end sent shivers down your spine and made your heart itch.
Zhou Jun unconsciously looked up at Xu Li.
Xu Li was dressed the same as before, her figure accentuated by the clothes.
Zhou Junchang glanced around and found that she was indeed the only woman there.
Actually, Xu Li is usually the only woman here. However, Xu Li doesn't usually work overtime until the evening. In the afternoon, she would walk away in her high heels.
But Xu Li is still here today.
This was something Zhou Junchang hadn't expected.
Zhou Jun often arrived late, and most of the seats were already taken.
Zhou Jun usually sat opposite Xu Li.
Before all the dishes were served, Xu Li got up, walked around the table, and poured wine for everyone.
Everyone else recognized Xu Li and greeted her warmly.
After all, she's the only girl here, so everyone pays her some attention.
A group of people egged him on, saying, "Xu Li, have a drink with us tonight!"
Xu Li poured herself a glass of wine, put it down, and although she disagreed, her tone was not angry, but rather a little coquettish: "If you say I have to drink, then I'll lose face."
A group of people continued to egg them on: "What are you talking about saving face? The important thing is that we finally got together for a meal."
"Then let's see if you have the ability to make me drink it."
The people around him laughed and said, "Definitely, definitely."
When Xu Li got next to Zhou Junchang, she didn't ignore him; instead, she struck up a conversation with him.
"Will you drink the wine I poured?"
"fall."
"Why won't you even look at me? Are you afraid of me?"
Xu Li's tone held a hint of teasing.
But Zhou Junchang wasn't buying it and didn't even give Xu Li a second glance.
As Zhou Jun turned to leave after pouring the wine, he often heard Xu Li give a faint "humph".
While eating, Zhou Ji announced something. He said that he had troubled the brothers during this period and that he was quite tired these past few days, so he planned to take the brothers out for some fun tomorrow.
A group of people shouted that it was good, they hadn't followed the wrong leader.
Zhou Ji just smiled when he heard that.
A group of people were discussing where to go. Some suggested going to a bar, but others objected, saying they hadn't had enough of bars yet. Someone else suggested having an outdoor barbecue, but then they thought that no one here seemed to know how to cook...
The group of people racked their brains but couldn't come up with a good solution, so they asked Zhou Ji for help.
"Boss, boss, wherever you say we're going, we'll go!"
Zhou Ji laughed and scolded, "If you can't even figure out a way to go have fun, you might as well not go at all."
"No, boss!"
Although Zhou Junchang did not participate in the discussion, he still smiled when he heard this.
"Let's go play golf."
Upon hearing this, a group of people below began to murmur amongst themselves, asking questions left and right, "Do you know how to play golf?", "How do you play that?", "I've never played it, so I don't know..."
Although most of the men had never played golf, they agreed with Zhou Ji's suggestion: "If the boss says to play, then we'll play."
Xu Li, who was sitting next to Zhou Ji, turned around and asked Zhou Ji after he finished speaking, "Do I have to go too?"
Zhou Ji pushed the empty wine glass in front of Xu Li and gestured with his eyes for her to fill it: "Go ahead if you want."
Xu Li said with a hint of laziness, "Then I'll have to go and see for myself."
After the meal, the group in the private room were still discussing how to have a wild time tomorrow, completely forgetting about what they had said before the meal: that they were going to drink with Xu Li.
Xu Li herself doesn't really like drinking, and if no one mentions it, she won't remind them.
The meal ended uneventfully.

**
The next day, Zhou Jun slept until noon.
Yesterday, Ah Feng got drunk. Since Ah Feng and Zhou Junchang didn't live on the same route, Zhou Junchang simply took Ah Feng back to his home.
When Ah Feng gets drunk, he becomes a bit crazy. It was already almost midnight when we finished dinner, but because of Ah Feng's antics, Zhou Junchang didn't fall asleep until around 2 or 3 in the morning.
Although Zhou Jun slept until noon, he didn't sleep well and felt dizzy when he woke up.
"I kindly woke you up. And you're not even grateful? The boss wants us to play golf today, aren't you going?"
Zhou Jun was in a bad mood: "Who told you to sleep so restlessly last night? If I had known you would be so noisy after drinking, I shouldn't have brought you back last night."
Seeing that Zhou Junchang was in a bad mood, Afeng apologized with a grin.
Zhou Ji had booked the show for 2 PM.
A large group of people entered the golf course. The receptionist had never seen so many people playing golf together before. If he hadn't recognized Zhou Ji, he would have almost kicked them out.
Zhou Jun often saw Xu Li; he came with Zhou Ji.
Xu Li wore a green striped skirt, her legs were long and straight, without an ounce of excess fat. The green sportswear added a touch of youthful energy to Xu Li, making people want to take a second look.
Standing next to Zhou Ji, the receptionist couldn't help but speculate about the relationship between the two.
Zhou Ji made appointments for three games at the same time. He first asked Zhou Jun to play ball with him.
The others went to play on the two adjacent courts, and Zhou Ji even hired two coaches for each court.
Zhou Ji said lazily, "You're so good at billiards, why don't you try golf? If you're good at it, then someone will play with me."
Zhou Jun touched the cue stick, saying uncertainly, "I've never played before."
"It's okay, learn slowly."
Zhou Jun first learned the rules and practiced with a few balls to test his skills.
This feels quite different from billiards. In Zhou Junchang's opinion, billiards is still simpler.
Zhou Junchang didn't know much about golf to begin with, and coupled with not getting a good night's rest last night, his mind was a complete mess.
After playing two rounds, Zhou Junchang was the first to concede defeat: "I really have no talent for golf."
Zhou Ji seemed unwilling to give up: "It's alright, just keep learning."
At this moment, Xu Li, who was standing next to Zhou Junchang, took the cue from his hand and said with great interest, "Let me try."
Xu Li had been watching Zhou Jun practice earlier and had a pretty good grasp of the rules.
Although there is a difference between listening and actually playing, it must be admitted that Xu Li played better than Zhou Junchang.
Because the ball went into the hole on Xu Li's third shot.
"pretty!"
Zhou Ji smiled and couldn't help but applaud.
After that, Xu Li fought several matches with Zhou Ji. Although he lost all of them, the matches were still evenly matched.
Throughout the entire process, Zhou Junchang watched from the sidelines without laughing or clapping.
After another match ended, while Zhou Ji was resting on the sidelines...
As Xu Li turned around, she winked at Zhou Junchang and slightly raised her chin, as if to say, "Look! If I can't beat you at billiards, can't I beat you at golf?"
This is when Zhou Junchang smiled.
His smile was somewhat disdainful, but it also seemed to be an answer to Xu Li.
Nobody wants to compare themselves to you.
Ignoring Zhou Junchang's reaction, Xu Li wiped the sweat from her forehead and nose, preparing for another fight.
Zhou Ji was in a good mood after these few matches.
He then played a few more matches with other people, but none of them were as good as Xu Li.
Zhou Ji smiled and said, "It seems we'll have to look for Xu Li from now on."
Xu Li was a little unhappy when she heard this: "No way, I still have to go to work. I don't have as much free time as you rich people."
Among this group of people, only Xu Li dared to refuse Zhou Ji like this.
Although the others would joke with Zhou Ji, in their eyes, Zhou Ji was still very authoritative as the leader, and he would not force them to do things they didn't like, so they would generally agree to what Zhou Ji said.
Zhou Ji didn't take it to heart and continued to tease her, "I'll ask you for leave when the time comes."
“I won’t do that.” Xu Li thought of something, her eyes darting around, “Unless you let me take paid leave.”
The group burst into laughter, including Zhou Junchang.
Someone nearby shouted, "Xu Li, the boss already told you to take leave, so whose orders are you listening to?"
Xu Li sat on the sofa, legs crossed, her feet tapping the ground idly: "I'll listen to money."
The group laughed again.
Zhou Ji scolded him, but his tone was genuinely smiling: "Alright, that's enough."
It refers to both the group of people and Xu Li.
After playing a few matches, it was almost time for dinner.
A group of people walked arm in arm to the dining area upstairs.
