Friday is all about.

If Lao Huang was able to joke with me when he first arrived at the office in the morning, then his lethargy can be seen with the naked eye at this moment.We just finished a meeting with BCG.He had a ten-minute debate with Xu Xin about "what BCG thinks we need" and "what we actually need". It is easy to ask the opposite side, without getting stuck in the speech and not knowing the direction.I reckon the support people in their office are busy this weekend.

As for me?Kevin and I had a noon muddle.

In the conference room, Lao Huang looked at me like a traitor—no, he looked at me like a traitor. This red face sang so well that even I believed it. I don’t know if BCG bought it or not. Anyway, the children in the group were terrified. They are obediently staying in the office and dare not show their atmosphere. They even walk with their tails between their legs when going in and out of the tea room.When Xiao Ding handed over work to Lao Huang, he didn't see anything at first, but when I turned back to his seat, I caught a glimpse of him sticking out his tongue at Xiao Chen. I'm afraid he was walking on thin ice before.He will be officially seconded next week to assist me in handling Vietnam affairs. If possible, I still hope to find a time to have a casual meal with him recently and communicate with him.

When it was time to get off work, Yimin came down to pick up nuts, and said hello as he passed my desk.He didn't leave in a hurry, tore open the package and threw it into the trash can, and said casually, "By the way, we're going to play golf tomorrow, are you interested?"

I'm crazy, I want to make jerky when I go to play in such a big sun?I pouted and said, "I might just be a caddy."

"It's just a simple get-together, playing around. I can teach you if you come, we are just short of one person." He added, "We have another lady involved."

I laughed at him: "Sonia can play golf?"

"I heard it's very good at it."

"Eighteen holes?"

"For nine holes, we didn't make a reservation. It seems to be close to Malaysia." He probably gestured to the location.I know that the course he mentioned is in the north, the environment is average, the advantage is that the price is good, and it costs more than 30 yuan per person including tax, and the clubs are not included.

I said, "That stadium doesn't give postponed tickets, even if it rains, you can imagine the situation at the venue... Can the reservation be cancelled?"

"Yes."

"I'll see what I can do." I didn't speak immediately, looked at him, and said, "Mind if I bring someone?"

"Not at all." He stuffed a nut into his mouth. "Meet me tomorrow in the lobby of the hotel, if you don't mind. We have a car."

I found an empty conference room.

Kevin knocked on the door very politely, it was really contrived, I was right at the door, what's the point of knocking on the glass door.He came in, crossed his arms, and tilted his head: "I didn't think this would happen. What can I do for you?"

I also smiled on the surface: "Can you play golf?"

"Hmm..." He didn't answer me immediately, but he dragged his voice out before saying, "It depends on what counts as 'yes'."

I laughed out loud, and after two seconds, I said, "Can you get a reservation for tomorrow's golf course? It's the one nearby."

Yes, Singapore has golf courses right in the city center.Of course, the price is also very modern: even so, the traffic is still very impressive.I know he seems to be a member of that stadium, maybe he joined some kind of elite club, and the club has a related agreement with the stadium. In short, Kevin has a lot of connections in this regard.

As soon as the words fell, I found that the way he looked at me was interesting.Kevin didn't answer immediately, rubbing his palms on his beard—the feeling must be strange, maybe like touching a cat's tongue—and said, "You, me, who else?"

"The BCG guys," I said, "just the two of us."

"Okay," he said suddenly, "I can play golf."

"How about meeting at the coffee shop downstairs tomorrow?" I raised my eyebrows. "Nine o'clock in the morning."

"I'll be there on time." Kevin walked out of the conference room very coolly.

I switched to linen shirts the next day.Considering that I will always be outside, I put on an extra vest inside. After searching through the box for a long time, I found a pair of thin jeans that fit me. The weight is only nine ounces, and I hope it will not be hot.I intentionally wore heeled shoes. After all, it was not for playing golf. It was better to try my best to avoid the situation that called me to swing.Kevin arrived on time. He was wearing a piqué cotton polo shirt, which is a popular style among suit customers with hidden buttons and a large pointed collar. He also wore leather shoes. He probably changed his outfit when he arrived at the venue; Next to it, there is a cue bag that looks expensive.

"Good looking." I boasted casually.

"You're not bad either." He was as perfunctory as I am.

When we arrived at the hotel, the BCG people were already there, and Xu Xin was not there, but I saw his bag.Yimin said, "Yao booked a venue in Marina Bay for us."

This should be a very challenging thing, and I found that the eyes of the two people in the Singapore office lit up.Miss Pender also looked a little surprised, looking at me at the moment.So I explained with a smile: "Kevin booked a venue in Marina Bay for us."

Kevin said: "So Kevin was invited to play."

Everyone laughed happily.

Xu Xin came over soon, and the car also arrived. It was a medium-sized bus from the hotel, but there were no other passengers.Originally, Kevin might have wanted to sit with Miss Pender, their ranks were the closest, but later he hesitated for a moment, maybe to avoid suspicion?In such a free time, Xu Xin asked him to sit with him. It was rare for Kevin to miscalculate, so he just sat down.I sat a little behind, thinking that even if someone came, it would be Yimin.

"Hi." She was not Yimin, "Can I sit here?"

I lowered my head and smiled: "I heard that you are a good golfer?"

"No no," said Miss Pender, "I haven't played golf in a long time. My father is very good at it. He shot a 76 last year."

"A tiger father has no dog daughter." I looked at her, "Aren't you going to end today?"

"I just want to bask in the sun," she said.

"I see the same thing." I paused and said, "It sounds like you have a very close family."

She smiled softly: "I have a big family, which is more common among Indians."

"Then you sometimes miss home?"

She shook her head: "Only my brother is still working in India. My parents are usually elsewhere, and sometimes we can meet during holidays. What about you? Is your home in Singapore?"

"I'm very..." I paused intentionally and looked at her with a smile, "I come from a very independent family, if you know what I'm talking about."

She was amused by me, and said, "At least Singapore is sunny, and you can grow well by yourself."

I raised my eyebrows, noncommittal.Her smile is very contagious. If it doesn't involve any confidential topic, I will even have the illusion that chatting with her is a relaxed and pleasant thing, as if she is willing to tell me anything I ask, and the two of us feel very compatible. Talking to each other is very speculative.Although today is a private gathering, there is still a string in my heart.Don't ask for something, at least you can't reveal too much information unintentionally.

Kevin and the others went to hang up the cards first.I didn't expect Xin and Yimin to bring clubs when they came on a business trip. Yimin was carrying a chipping club on his back. It seemed that he really liked playing golf.I have heard that some companies in China like to discuss business in stadiums, especially in Shenzhen, which may be influenced by the metropolis on the other side of the river.There is no drink cart in the stadium, Yimin took a dozen mineral water and put it on the cart we rented.Kevin and one of the local Singaporean staff used their own clubs, while Xin and Yimin each rented a few, so we had to wait a while before going to the tee.Four of them played, and another local office employee seemed to be a beginner and didn't participate in the game.

You get what you pay for, the maintenance of this course is excellent, and there are high-rise buildings at the end of the tree-shade, which is a bit of reality in the magic.While waiting, Xu Xin chatted with me: "I didn't expect you to bring Kevin with you."

"From the situation in the company, can't you tell?" I said, "After all, Kevin is my superior, and we are not in the same project team."

"I heard that your company's internal communication does not display rank."

"Yes. I don't know Yao's rank." Kevin said.

I shrugged: "I don't know Kevin's rank either."

Xu Xin didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, and said, "Then you are very close friends?"

"Hmm..." I frowned on purpose, "It depends on how you look at it. Kevin won't lend me his club until now."

Ha, guessed it!Kevin's expression changed the moment he heard the words.It's just that in the current context, his face-changing seems appropriate, but it provides evidence for my hint, which can be described as a stroke of magic.

Of course, I have already asked Kevin to play with the BCG people, so the relationship must be very close.

Xu Xin laughed out loud and said, "It's okay to lend you my club. Want to take a swing?"

I shook my head and showed him my shoes: "I wish you a hole in one."

My goal is not on the pitch.
