Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 278 Chapter 277, You are just free!

The grand opening ceremony has come to an end for now.

In Court No. 2 and Court No. 3, the first matches of Group A men's and women's groups started simultaneously, which was regarded as the opening match of this golf professional open tournament.

Because of the high prize money, the professional players attracted this time are of quite good level, including several who are ranked top 20 in the global points.

Wealth and honor move people’s hearts.

A bonus of tens of millions is extremely tempting even for them.

Lin Chu didn't know much about the lineup of golf star players.

However, watching the live broadcast of the game on the big screen, I was able to recognize a few of them.

There is a beautiful landscape on the football field right now, that is the local player of Pengcheng, one of the current spokespersons of LC Club, the violent loli, Zhang Zishu.

Due to long-term outdoor sports, the skin color of the female players is slightly darker, but she is glowing white and particularly eye-catching. Her well-behaved face, plump figure, lovely body shape, and violent batting style form a strong contrast.

Choosing her as the opening ceremony player was naturally an insider decision, after all, she represents the club.

In the men's group, several players in the opening match are all well-known top players.

Dou Cheng, a member of the national team in the last Olympics.

The world's seventeenth-ranked player, Adam Scott.

Im Sung-jae, ranked 20th in the world.

However, after just looking at it for a while, Lin Chu lost interest.

——These are levels that are beyond my reach.

It is highly likely that I will never be able to achieve this level of skill in my lifetime.

Then I don’t want to watch it.

and……

I'm just a fucking amateur player, but I bought a golf course and organized a professional open tournament?
This thought quietly emerged in his mind, and Lin Chu couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He felt it was a little absurd and also a bit funny. He thought of a sentence he often said at work - the world is just a makeshift team.

Oh no.

Not this one.

Yes - sorry, if you have money, you can really do whatever you want.

……

today.

Zhou Ming was dressed in a neat suit. His hair, which had been a little gray before, had now been dyed and was shiny black. He walked beside Lin Chu with a look of high spirits, but there was a hint of inexplicable sadness in his eyes.

When the LC club was in the hands of the celebrity group, it was always lukewarm.

It has only been a few months since it was acquired by Lin Chu, but it has already caused such a big fuss.

This made him feel somewhat complicated.

It seems... my ability is a little bit lacking?
Not entirely.

The main reason is that the financial resources are not strong enough.

Theoretically, as long as there is money, it would be no problem to hold such a competition, and even Tiger Woods can be invited.

There is just no need to waste this money.

At this moment, he discovered that Lin Chu did not seem that happy and looked thoughtful.

"I thought you would play in the opening match..."

He joked with a smile.

I still feel that people like Lin Chu, who have gone to great lengths to build this platform, mainly want to have a good time.

Lin Chu waved his hand and smiled: "I'm doing business, there's nothing to be proud of."

Zhou Ming's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded with a smile.

Right.

Make money.

"Now that Mingliu Group is listed, is it a good bet?"

Lin Chu casually changed the subject. It was quite interesting to see an entrepreneur who had insisted on not going public for decades suddenly doing something really interesting.

However, no matter whether Zhou Ming is willing or not, or what he thinks in his heart, at least this is an action that conforms to objective laws.

Objective laws are not subject to human will.

To be honest, although his previous decision not to go public missed the golden period of real estate development, it did not cause any big trouble. The company's funding gap was not particularly large, at least there was no financial crisis.

And now, at the end of the golden age, the move to go public is probably to put a perfect end to the career he has been running for half his life.

Old Zhou wants to retire.

"No problem. I'm almost ready to retire."

There were no people on either side for the time being, so Zhou Ming sighed and spoke the truth.

old.

While the market is good, the company will go public and I will retire. That's it. There's nothing more to do.

Seeing that his guess was correct, Lin Chu couldn't help but smile.

Now I have a vague feeling that I have an almost intuitive judgment about people and things. It may be because I have more training samples, or it may be because I stand at a higher position...

It's like the feel when playing basketball. After you throw the ball, you know whether it's there while it's still in the air.

"That's good, enjoy life."

"If you have nothing to do after you retire, come here and be my president. Just play ball every day."

Lin Chu patted his shoulder and made a joke.

Zhou Ming: ...

He couldn't say such frivolous words as "Thank you", but just smiled elegantly and helplessly: "Ziming, is everything ok?"

"No, let's not talk about this. I just said it casually."

Lin Chu passed by lightly again.

The two were talking...

You Shaoqiang came from the other side with a few friends, with an exaggerated smile on his face, and opened his arms and hugged Lin Chu.

"What a big deal! This lineup is almost as good as the Presidential Cup. Congratulations, congratulations."

Lin Chu smiled and patted his shoulder, then nodded to the people behind him and said, "Come and play often in the future."

Zhou Ming recognized You Shaoqiang and the few people behind him at a glance. They were all young talents of the Tongxin Youth Association. They would most likely be the successors of their respective families in the future. For a moment, he was secretly amazed.

I didn’t expect that Lin Chu has become so familiar with them.

Although it is normal, after all, the circle in Pengcheng is not big.

But it still made him feel prosperous.

After all, the future belongs to the young.

To define it more precisely, it belongs to the group of young people in front of us, and young people like them.

As for my family, Xiaoluan, well, it’s not very good actually. Just live a peaceful life. It’s basically impossible to have any breakthrough in your career.

"Uncle Zhou, hello, where's Sister Xiaoluan? You didn't bring her with you?"

You Shaoqiang greeted Zhou Ming with a smile.

They also knew each other, although not very well.

"She's here. She's watching the game over there, watching her favorite star."

Zhou Ming said casually that he did not dare and would not underestimate these young people. He responded cheerfully and kindly.

At this time.

Lin Chu saw Jackie Chan walking towards him again.

When the ribbon was cut just now, Jackie Chan was also on the stage, holding the scissors, representing the celebrity guests.

After taking a look, Lin Chu walked towards him with a smile, opened his arms and hugged him, appearing to be very familiar with him.

Jackie Chan laughed very happily.

The last incident in Hong Kong was not pleasant, and he felt very sorry for Lin Chu. In his heart, he also had a strong approval rating for this young man.

Today, not only did I come here myself, I also brought a few old friends with me and introduced myself to them.

They were all elderly people, or at least middle-aged, and Lin Chu responded with a cheerful face.

Zhou Ming, You Shaoqiang, and other members of the Youth Association looked at this scene with something in their eyes.

"Ha, Mr. Lin really has friends everywhere. He is blooming everywhere."

You Shaoqiang laughed.

Several people laughed softly. Not far away, Wang Zhefei, who came to watch the ceremony, stared at this scene with wide eyes, and suddenly a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Damn, that’s awesome!

How many months has it been?
Fame, reputation and connections are all accumulated bit by bit.

Although it mainly depends on status and strength, management is also indispensable.

To be honest, golf clubs do have a natural advantage in this regard.

However, even so, Wang Zhefei still felt at this moment that Lin Chu had been "possessed"?

It's so scary.

What a tough life...

"Brother Peng, what has he done during this period of time?"

Wang Zhefei asked Zhang Peng who was standing beside him, curious, shocked, and confused.

Zhang Peng smiled and said, "Ask him yourself. It's a company secret, I can't tell you. I asked you to come but you didn't come."

Wang Zhefei: …

……

It was almost noon when Lin Chu finally freed himself from all the social interactions.

I really feel very tired.

In social occasions, you must wear a social mask, and you are the host, so every aspect has to be arranged in place.

This is very energy-consuming.

I am not yet at the point where I can ignore anyone and act recklessly.

Moreover, even if he really had that kind of strength and status in the martial arts world, he certainly couldn't do that.

This is the invisible constraint brought by identity and fame.

even……

Even if I were to drink with my brothers now, go to bars, KTVs, or barbecue parties, the atmosphere probably wouldn't be as happy as it was at the beginning.

Have I changed?

changed.

More money.

They have changed too.

Maybe the personality, friendship and foundation haven’t changed, but the “level of politeness” will definitely change subtly.

But I actually don’t really like the feeling of being “respected”. Instead, I feel more comfortable being unbridled.

If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager.

After having lunch in the club restaurant, Lin Chu left.

All kinds of people and things have been arranged in an orderly manner. I am nothing more than a mascot, and there is no particular meaning in staying here.

Moreover, I really don't like such a noisy environment.

Socializing and making friends for the sake of benefits, connections, or even just to make money has now become a very boring thing.

Unless the person on the other side is interesting enough.

But, obviously, in this kind of occasion, everyone is quite boring and everyone is playing their own role.

Jackie Chan plays the star.

Zhou Ming plays the former boss, friend, and entrepreneur.

Leaders play leaders.

The beauty plays the role of a vase.

Therefore, among the Thirty-Six Strategies, running away is the best one.

Lin Chu was driving the car and Gu Jiayan was sitting in the passenger seat.

She vaguely sensed that Lin Chu was in a low mood, but she didn't know the reason for this depression.

Isn't this supposed to be a happy day?
"You have something on your mind?"

she asked softly.

"Huh? No, hey? Let me buy you a house? I'm going out to play soon, so you can decorate it well. The New Year is coming soon, so bring your family over."

Lin Chu casually changed the subject.

Gu Jiayan: ...

After a pause, he said, "I don't have any family. My mother has passed away. I am all alone. I sold the house in my hometown two years ago to pay for her medical treatment."

"Oh, that's not the case. There are quite a few children in the orphanage, and they all call me mom now."

She was a little disappointed at first, but then she spoke with a bright smile.

Lin Chu took a deep breath, held the steering wheel with one hand, and gently squeezed her hand.

"I will urge them to speed up the construction of the Zengcheng welfare home. It should be almost finished by the middle of next year."

"I am seeking inner peace. Happiness is secondary. Peace is the main thing."

"When I went back home, my father wouldn't let me have peace. He urged me to get married and have children. He was very noisy and I couldn't have a peaceful life."

"My friends, either they are extremely ambitious in their careers, or they just spend their days drinking and partying. It's boring and quite uninteresting."

"Love... How can love be peaceful?"

"Now I am immersed in the mountains and rivers, which is quite peaceful, whether it is watching the stars at night, watching the sunrise in the morning, or hiking in the mountains, camping, and playing with the dog."

Lin Chu said in a calm tone, lit a cigarette and puffed out a long puff of smoke.

This is also a kind of revealing one's heart.

Anyway, if it were in the past, I would never say these words to anyone.

Gu Jiayan: ...

The first comment she made in her mind was - you are just idle!

If you paid more attention to the company's affairs, you wouldn't be so idle.

However, in the final analysis, the purpose of running a company is to make money. Does he still need to make money?

"You are really a breath of fresh air."

"Das Kapital says that capital alienates people in all aspects. Bosses become slaves of capital, working hard for the sake of increasing wealth. Employees are also slaves of capital, working like beasts of burden for a living."

"You haven't been alienated... But you are incompatible with mainstream society, and even incompatible with the mainstream education you have received since childhood."

Gu Jiayan analyzed with a smile, it seemed that Lin Chu had really thought about a lot of things during this trip.

She didn't envy this situation, but she could completely understand it and admired it.

"Let's go to the airport."

Lin Chu glanced at her and said with a smile.

Gu Jiayan was slightly surprised: "You're leaving now? You're not going to stay for a day longer? You're not going to meet the two new executives of the company? Even though it's a holiday, they're here today."

This "irresponsible attitude towards career" still made her feel a little surprised.

"Let them come find me later. It'll just cost them a few more dollars for the plane tickets."

"Let's go. It's too cold in winter. Even in Pengcheng, it's cold. I'm going to find a place to spend the winter."

"Fuck, Gulfstream is so inefficient that they haven't even built the private jet yet!"

Lin Chu waved his hand and smiled.

Gu Jiayan pursed his lips and looked at him, with a hint of silent "doting" in his heart.

This kind of man who has a mixture of real success and almost childish temper really makes people feel intoxicated, and one can't help but feel sorry for him.

Thinking about this, his thoughts wandered away and Gu Jiayan's face turned slightly red.

"I...you, don't you want to take a break at noon? Can you find a room near the airport?"

Lin Chu:?
He turned to look at her in almost disbelief, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This……

She took the initiative to ask...

This is really the first time in history.
