Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 283 Golf, the sport of the rich! I, Zhao Ruilong, am indeed very talented!

pop~

It was accompanied by a crisp sonic boom.

The golf ball flew rapidly into the distance.

"it is good!!"

Xiao Jinhua hurriedly came out of the private room, shouted "Bravo!" and clapped repeatedly.

"Your movements are fluid and powerful; Mr. Zhao, you're simply a golf prodigy!"

"You've only been learning for less than an hour, starting with your grip and stance, and you're already hitting so well! It's incredible!"

Zhao Ruilong gave an awkward smile.

"Just blow it!"

Qin Shuang quickly placed the ball on the table.

After stepping aside, he looked at Zhao Ruilong with admiration.

It was my first time at this club in the afternoon, to learn how to play golf.

Xiao Jinhua also specially arranged for the club's three most skilled coaches to provide hands-on instruction.

however……

Qin Shuang and Lin Shumiao, however, still had to swing their clubs several times in a row before they could hit the ball.

Lin Shumiao is still diligently receiving guidance from the coach.

Xiao Jinhua has already signed her up for a membership, and she also needs to learn to play golf so that she can socialize in the circles of the powerful and wealthy.

Qin Shuang, who was only there to accompany Zhao Ruilong for the experience, simply gave up practicing and became Zhao Ruilong's beautiful 'caddie'.

"Hey, I'm not exaggerating! There are so many people watching!"

"Putting everything else aside, the fact that you can hit the ball with perfect form every time—isn't that much better than Mr. Lin's skill?"

No sooner had Xiao Jinhua finished speaking than Lin Shumiao, who was practicing nearby, missed his shot again.

She used too much force and almost threw herself over.

Fortunately, the coach standing nearby quickly reached out and helped her up.

"Look, Mr. Lin missed again!"

Lin Shumiao said with a wry smile, "Please stop talking! I've already tried my best!"

"Sister, you've already done very well, but compared to President Zhao, your talent is indeed lacking."

Xiao Jinhua smiled broadly, indirectly praising Zhao Ruilong's talent.

"That's right, Mr. Zhao's talent is truly extraordinary. He quickly trained to be like a professional player. You have to admire him!"

Lin Shumiao's words made Zhao Ruilong laugh.

"You two can keep bragging, one after the other!"

"I was just lucky, I hit a few balls in a row, I'm not as good as you guys say."

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong swung his club to hit the ball.

There was a snap.

The golf ball flew into the distance.

"Hey, you hit it again!"

"So, Mr. Zhao, this isn't just us bragging; you really do have a talent for sports!"

As Xiao Jinhua spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the coach standing to the side.

"If you don't believe me, ask Coach Fang. Aren't you amazing?"

Coach Fang laughed and said, "I think Mr. Zhao is like a natural golfer. His movements are standard, his posture is elegant, and he exerts full power!"

"It's no exaggeration to say that she is the most talented student I've ever taught in my more than ten years of teaching!"

Xiao Jinhua clapped his hands together.

"Did you hear that?"

"This is a professional answer from a coach who has played in professional matches!"

Zhao Ruilong smiled without saying a word and continued playing.

Golf is recognized worldwide as an aristocratic sport.

Although its origin is said to be that when shepherds were bored, they would hit stones with sticks to push rabbits down their holes.

However, due to the extremely high cost of equipment, training, membership fees, and other expenses, it has become a luxury sport that only the wealthy can afford.

In the world before his transmigration, Zhao Ruilong had never played golf; he only knew from watching educational videos that the sport was very expensive.

Buying well-fitting clothes, shoes, and golf clubs already costs more than playing basketball, soccer, or tennis.

Then you need to spend several hundred yuan or more on class fees to hire a professional coach for a long period of practice.

The last game usually takes three to four hours, during which you need to travel around the huge stadium in a small car.

This requires a significant amount of money and time to afford golf.

Not to mention the exorbitant annual membership fees.

The tips for caddies alone after a game of golf are beyond the reach of most people.

And after traveling through time...

Sorting through my memories, I couldn't find any record of my predecessor playing golf.

After graduating from university, he served seven years in prison for Zhao Lichun and never played golf.

but……

Zhao Ruilong believes that he has athletic talent.

It's not just because the coach only taught me for a short while today, but I quickly got the hang of it and became more and more proficient.

Also, because Zhao Ruilong in the original drama himself really enjoys playing golf!

I remember that the Shanshui Manor in the original drama had a golf course.

In the drama, Qi Tongwei, Gao Xiaoqin, Zhao Ruilong, and others all played on the basketball court.

Furthermore, Zhao Ruilong in the drama also chatted with Gao Xiaoqin about Hou Liangping coming to Jingzhou to investigate a case.

They said they needed to get rid of Hou Liangping as soon as possible, because Jingzhou wouldn't allow such a powerful person to exist.

Although golf has a very strong social aspect.

In a lush, beautiful, and spacious sports field, two or three people can play together in a relaxed and private manner, engaging in extended conversations.

But for a top-tier privileged youth like Zhao Ruilong in the drama, if he didn't genuinely love the sport, he wouldn't discuss things with Gao Xiaoqin on the court.

Just like someone who doesn't like playing basketball can't invite their friends to the basketball court for a walk and chat, wouldn't it be more relaxed and pleasant to meet up and chat or talk about business in other places?

therefore.

Faced with praise from Xiao Jinhua and Coach Fang, Zhao Ruilong didn't bother with modesty anymore.

The more I played, the better I felt, and it felt pretty good.

This body is probably quite talented.

In addition, there's his own background.

Even if it takes several swings to hit the ball once, they will definitely praise him for his talent.

Soon.

At Xiao Jinhua's urging, the group left the practice field and took a car to the stadium.

The stadium covers a vast area, with large expanses of lush green grass as far as the eye can see.

Of course, there are also sand pits, ponds, woods, streams, grass, and so on.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the sports field is lush and green.

Sitting in the car, with a gentle breeze blowing, I felt completely relaxed.

Along the way, Xiao Jinhua naturally had to give a brief introduction to the rules and the history of the club.

The rules are actually very simple: the goal is to put the ball in the hole. The eighteen holes are divided into par-3, par-4, and par-5 holes depending on their distance, with a standard total score of 72 strokes.

Most competitions are stroke play, which compares the total number of strokes players use to complete all their goals; the player who uses the fewest strokes wins.

Xiao Jinhua took Zhao Ruilong, who was playing golf for the first time, to the course, not for a competition, but to help Zhao Ruilong familiarize himself with the rules as quickly as possible.

but……

Compared to the simple rules, Zhao Ruilong was more curious about the golf course.

Although this place is located in the suburbs of Yanjing, land prices were still relatively cheap in 2001.

However, Yanjing is located in the north, and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has not yet been implemented, so water resources are extremely precious.

Unfortunately, golf courses, with their vast expanses of grass, require a lot of water for irrigation and maintenance...

Therefore, the shareholders behind the scenes must be quite powerful to be able to build such a golf course in Yanjing.

Upon arriving at the practice area, we warmed up under the guidance of the coaches.

Then, the two cars carrying seven people headed to the first hole to start playing.

Although there is a significant difference between a real pitch and a practice field, beginners can easily miss, accidentally hit the grass, or send the ball flying off into the distance if they're not careful.

But with his exceptional talent, Zhao Ruilong quickly adapted to the real basketball court, becoming the complete opposite of the burly and clumsy Lin Shumiao.

Several times in a row, the ball either flew out of bounds, into the sandpit, or into the pond.

Lin Shumiao, who made his fortune in the coal business in Xishan, gradually gave it up.

"It can't be done, it can't be done!"

"I'll just watch you two fight!"

"At my skill level, I'd probably need dozens of lessons before I could even play on the court!"

Lin Shumiao, carrying her golf club, shook her head repeatedly as she walked toward the car parked on the side of the road.

"Mr. Lin, are you really not going to fight anymore?"

"You play with General Manager Zhao, I still need more practice!"

Lin Shumiao handed the cue back to the coach, took a bottle of chilled mineral water from Qin Shuang, and gulped it down with gusto.

After drinking enough water and wiping away the sweat, I sat in the car and watched Zhao Ruilong and Xiao Jinhua playing ball and chatting not far away.

"Now I finally understand why rich people love playing golf!"

"People are more likely to relax in such a spacious and beautiful place."

"Moreover, we spend less time playing and more time traveling. A game can last two or three hours, and we can chat a lot."

"In contrast, if you chat in the office, meeting room, or at a dinner table, you are not only more likely to feel uncomfortable, but the conversation is also less private and longer."

"The time of the super-rich and powerful is extremely precious. It's not easy to arrange a dinner, but if you arrange to play golf together, you can at least spend two or three hours together."

"Two or three hours! In such a long time, we can talk about many topics and do a lot of business. In order to completely shed the identity of coal boss and nouveau riche and better integrate into the circle of the rich and powerful, I really need to practice golf properly!"

Lin Shumiao secretly made up her mind.

He tilted his head back and drank the rest of the mineral water.

His gaze fell upon Qin Shuang, the beautiful secretary beside him.

Compared to the exquisite and luxurious look she wore at the gala last night.

Wearing a sporty casual outfit, she looked very sunny and innocent.

With such exquisite features, a graceful figure, and an extraordinary temperament...

No wonder Ye Guanghui took a liking to her last night and insisted on giving her his business card to invite her to star in a movie.

"Little Cream!"

"Yes, Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Zhao is very talented at golf, and he enjoys it very much. You should practice more so you can play with him anytime."

"Yes, I'll definitely practice hard from now on."

"Judging from your accent, you're not from Handong?"

"No, my hometown is Wenshan City, Hanjiang Province."

"I've heard of Wenshan; your steel is very famous!"

"Yes, my parents worked in a steel factory. The economy of Wenshan City basically relies on steelmaking."

……

When Lin Shumiao tried to get close to Qin Shuang and chatted casually.

Xiao Jinhua, who served as both coach and fellow player, naturally chatted with Zhao Ruilong while playing.

Thanks to previous cooperation negotiations in Tianhai, and additional investment after test driving hybrid vehicles in Jingzhou.

Xiao Jinhua, who was known as the "richest man in China," invested a full 10 billion yuan in Zhao Ruilong.

In the current Dragon Kingdom, this is naturally a remarkable and enormous investment.

This wasn't their first time dating, and they've invested so much money.

Xiao Jinhua naturally trusted Zhao Ruilong implicitly.
