"Haha, brothers, I’ve never played this before. You can’t be too hard on me, alright?"

At first, the two of them thought Fang Chenyi was just being modest. It wasn’t until they saw him play that they truly believed his words.

They watched as Fang Chenyi swung the club. He put plenty of power into it, but unfortunately, the golf ball was still lying on the grass right in front of him. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

His first swing in life was a spectacular whiff.

But Fang Chenyi wasn’t the least bit embarrassed. A miss was a miss. He just shrugged helplessly at the two of them.

"I just told you I’ve never played before. Don’t you two laugh at me now."

Fortunately, Fang Chenyi’s coordination was excellent. After that first miss, it only took him two or three more strokes before he was hitting the ball smoothly, even if his form wasn’t quite standard.

Half an hour later, they finally finished the hole. To Old Wang and Old Ma’s surprise, the winner of the round was none other than Fang Chenyi, the first-time player.

It was all because the guy’s strength was just too immense. A single swing from him sent the golf ball flying almost as far as two of Old Wang’s strokes combined.

As for Principal Wang, he didn’t even get a chance to play.

After another two rounds, the four of them arrived at a rest area, found a spot in the cool shade of a tree, and sat down to drink some tea.

Brother Xiaoma took the teacup from Principal Wang, gave a nod of thanks, then turned to Fang Chenyi and gave him a thumbs-up.

"Younger Brother Fang, your ability to learn is truly incredible. You’ve never even touched a golf club before, yet you beat me and Old Wang three times in a row. That’s seriously impressive!"

Hearing this, Old Wang, who was beside them, couldn’t help but sigh with admiration.

"Sigh, so young and promising. We old bones can’t compare."

Fang Chenyi just laughed and waved his hand. "Haha, if you two keep saying that, my head’s going to swell."

As they were talking, a golf cart drove over from a distance and stopped on the grass about a dozen meters away.

A middle-aged man in a suit quickly walked over, calling out a cheerful greeting while still far away.

"Haha, President Ma, President Wang, what a rare pleasure to have you both here! I was wondering why the magpies were chirping nonstop outside my window this morning. It must have been because you two were coming, haha."

The newcomer was quite the smooth talker. Just a few sentences had Old Wang and Old Ma shaking their heads and laughing.

However, the man’s attention seemed to be focused entirely on Old Wang and Old Ma. He didn’t pay much mind to Fang Chenyi or Principal Wang. After all, he knew who Principal Wang was, and in his eyes, the two young men were probably the elders’ juniors.

Old Wang smiled and shook his head.

"Heh, President Xia, you’re exaggerating a bit. Come, have a cup of tea with us."

The middle-aged man smiled and walked up to them, his gaze respectfully fixed on Old Wang the entire time he spoke.

When Old Wang finished, the middle-aged man chuckled and waved his hand dismissively.

"Haha, I heard from my staff that you, President Wang, wanted to order a Platinum VIP card. So, I rushed over to deliver it to you personally."

As he spoke, President Xia took a small, exquisite box from his coat pocket and handed it to Old Wang.

Hearing President Xia’s words, Old Ma, who was sitting opposite, felt a pang of regret. ’Looks like I’m still a step behind Old Wang when it comes to social networking,’ he thought. He had originally planned to give Fang Chenyi a card later when they were leaving, but he never expected Old Wang to have one ready right now.

Just as Old Ma had guessed, Old Wang took the exquisite little box from President Xia and immediately passed it to Fang Chenyi, who was watching everything with a smile while sipping his tea.

"Haha, Younger Brother Fang, I was so impressed with your game just now. I was thinking we should play together more often when we’re free, so I took the liberty of getting a card for this place for you. That way, if you have time to come back, we can keep playing together!"

Fang Chenyi hadn’t expected the card to be for him. Hearing Old Wang’s explanation, he was momentarily stunned. Then, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he put down his teacup and accepted the small box.

Old Wang’s action startled President Xia, and his gaze shifted to the young man he had previously ignored.

But one look made him freeze. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he discreetly took out his phone and quickly opened the photo gallery.

Meanwhile, Fang Chenyi opened the small box and saw a beautifully crafted platinum card inside.

Even without hearing the conversation between Old Wang and President Xia, Fang Chenyi could guess it was some kind of membership card for the club.

He played with it in his hand for a moment before smilingly placing it back in the box. Then, with a helpless look, he pushed it back toward Old Wang.

"Heh, Brother Wang, I appreciate the thought, but please, take this back. The main thing is... I won’t have any use for it."

Brother Xiaoma, sitting across from them, was also surprised that he would refuse the card. ’Good thing I didn’t give him one,’ he thought to himself.

Seeing Fang Chenyi push the card back, Old Wang was stunned. He thought his relationship with Fang Chenyi was pretty good. Even if not for his own sake, considering the connection between his son and Fang Chenyi, there was no way he’d refuse a membership card worth a mere five million.

Old Wang’s expression turned awkward. Seemingly noticing his father’s predicament, Principal Wang, who had been busy pouring tea for everyone, couldn’t help but pick up the small box, place it back in front of Fang Chenyi, and speak up.

"Brother Fang, what’s with the formality between us? It’s just a silly card, no need to push it back and forth. Besides, it’ll be convenient if you want to come play here when you’re free, right?"

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi knew the father and son duo had definitely misunderstood.

He shrugged helplessly and, with an expression that was halfway between a laugh and a wince, began to explain to Old Wang.

"Hey, Brother Wang, you’ve probably misunderstood. It’s not about the card’s value. The main reason is I genuinely have no use for this thing."

Before Old Wang and Principal Wang could say another word, President Xia, who had just put his phone away, suddenly chimed in with a smile.

This caught both Old Wang and Old Ma by surprise. Neither of them expected an outsider to interject at a moment like this.

But what this outsider said left them completely speechless.

President Xia gave an awkward cough and then said,

"Ahem, uh, President Wang... Chairman Fang really has no use for this card..."
