Chapter 136: Chapter 117: Golf Club_2
She thought Zhou Wang wanted to pet her cat, but in the end… it was all reversed!

…
Around four o’clock, Zhou Wang left the cat cafe with Yu Duo.
When checking out, Zhou Wang intentionally gave an extra two hundred as a tip, which made the staff pleasantly surprised.
Yu Duo hung her head the entire time, and even after sitting in the Ferrari, she was still in a daze.
Zhou Wang quite understood. For someone like Yu Duo, who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, the amount of ink he applied this time was a bit too much; it would probably take some time for her to digest this fact.
“How about I take you to buy a pair of socks?”
After Yu Duo regained her senses, Zhou Wang, who had already wandered aimlessly for a few laps, asked her.
“No, that’s not necessary… I’m going to a relative’s house for dinner. Can you take me there?”
Yu Duo’s face turned red again, and she pulled her smooth legs together, speaking softly.
“By the way, Zhou Wang, has Tongtong contacted you?”
On the way, Zhou Wang originally thought Yu Duo wouldn’t want to chat anymore, but surprisingly, she suddenly asked.
Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment before realizing who Yu Duo meant by “Tongtong.”
“Are you talking about Shen Yutong?”
Zhou Wang felt a little puzzled, “Why would she contact me?”
“Tongtong returned to Ming City yesterday. Earlier, she mentioned that because she received your gift, she wanted to invite you to dinner, so I thought I’d ask.”
“Why did she return so early?”
Zhou Wang asked casually, “Your vacation is still a long time, right?”
“Yes, it’s still a while. She came back early because she found a good summer job.”
Yu Duo’s expression became much more natural now as she pinched the hem of her skirt and said, “There are three people in our dorm; although I’m closer to Sister Min’er, it’s Tongtong whom I admire the most. She works a part-time job every vacation. Out of the four of us, she’s the only one who never asks her family for money…”
“Hmm, I’d assume the families of art students like you are quite wealthy, right?”
Zhou Wang didn’t quite understand.
“It depends on the major. In Tongtong’s case, studying ethnic dance is relatively better off. However, her family isn’t actually poor, but her regular expenses might be higher.”
Zhou Wang nodded, feeling a bit of a changed impression of Shen Yutong.
Being materialistic is nothing bad, but if she was working hard to pursue a better life, that was worthy of respect.
“Hey, it seems like you’re intentionally telling me these things?”
Zhou Wang suddenly realized something wasn’t right and raised an eyebrow.
“Am I…?”
“If you can’t lie, don’t force yourself, tell me honestly, or I’ll take you somewhere else, and by then, it might not be the socks that suffer…”
“You big bully!”
Yu Duo’s face turned red, but she still admitted truthfully, “It’s just that Tongtong has been worried you might have a negative impression of her, so she asked me to test you. If she invites you to dinner, would you agree?”
“Oh, if I’m free, there’s no harm in having a meal.”
“Okay, I’ll relay that to Tongtong.”
After Zhou Wang dropped her off at the neighborhood gate, and they said their goodbyes, Yu Duo walked a bit and then stopped. She looked around and then took out her phone, opened the browser’s “search” bar, and started typing:
“Likes feet is…”
She’d only typed four characters when a whole bunch of related searches popped up.
“Is it a psychological disorder?”
“Is it an m?”
“…”
What is an m?
Yu Duo was a bit bewildered; she browsed through a webpage and was instantly drawn to a post on a certain forum:
“Women, please make use of your unique XP advantages…”
Yu Duo got so engrossed in reading that she didn’t snap back to reality until her mother’s call came through, and with a flushed face, she rushed upstairs.
Even so, before she turned off her phone, she didn’t forget to first add a wave of “favorites.”

Ming City’s Dianchi Lake Golf, typically, does not only refer to a single golf course but a large leisure resort area combining a golf club, Dianchi Lake Tourism Area, luxury villa estates, and high-end private clubs.
In the early years, it was the most renowned affluent district in Ming City, home to one of the top ten mansions in the city.
While now somewhat declining with the city’s development, the unique status of this area remains undeniable.
The thousand-acre golf course consistently ranked among the nation’s top hundred, and it was the only golf course within Ming City’s third ring, comparable in location to Guanlan Lake in Peng City.
And the ownership of the over 400 villa estates surrounding the course was quite complex; they were not only owned by local dignitaries but also wealthy people from all over the country, purchasing properties here, though the property holders weren’t necessarily them… ahem.
Of course, in this era, the sport of golf had taken on a trend of popularization; for instance, there were group-buy deals on a certain app, offering trial prices as low as 29.9 yuan…
But that didn’t mean the cost of playing golf had truly been reduced.
The expensive part was never the entrance fee, but those invisible barriers.
Firstly, you couldn’t self-teach this; you had to hire a coach, and even the worst coach would charge at least eight hundred per lesson, with an average person needing around twenty lessons to get started…
Then there was your equipment; even the cheapest golf clubs cost twenty to thirty thousand, with better ones easily running into the hundreds of thousands, and they quickly became obsolete.
In addition, extra spending arose during play, such as the unspoken rule of tipping the caddies at the golf course. Even if you’re quite cheeky, you’d have to tip at least seven or eight hundred after a round…
And what if you said, “I simply won’t do it”?
