Tennis: He's so obedient!

Chapter 5: Finding the Caddie!

Jiang Hong drank a body-repairing potion before going to bed that night, and opened his eyes promptly at seven o'clock the next morning.

I feel incredibly comfortable all over. All the soreness and fatigue from yesterday's practice are gone. Instead, I have so much energy that I could lift the roof off.

Seeing his state, Li Hua's mouth gaped open: "Old Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

"Huh?" Jiang Hong was taken aback. There was no mirror in the dormitory, so he quickly leaned against the window to look at himself—wow, his skin seemed to have improved a little, but the change wasn't very obvious. So this potion also had a beautifying effect?
If he was already handsome, now he's handsome plus!
"Did you steal some cosmetics?" Li Hua pressed.

"Where would I get such a thing?" Jiang Hong shrugged, honestly admitting that their dorm didn't even have a mirror.

When I need to take a picture, I just point it at the glass or my phone.

"Then why do I feel like you've suddenly become more handsome?" Li Hua asked, looking distressed.

He was already handsome, but now he's even more handsome. How am I supposed to live?

"I've always been handsome, it's just that you had bad eyesight before." Jiang Hong's words left Li Hua speechless.

Li Hua wanted to press further, but Jiang Hong dropped a bombshell: "If you dawdle any longer, you'll miss 8 a.m.!"

These words were more effective than anything else; Li Hua's face instantly changed color: "Oh no!"

They hurriedly started washing up. Freshmen hadn't yet unlocked the skill of skipping classes, especially since today was a management class. The professor had declared at the beginning of the semester that "skipping class three times will result in failing the course," so no one dared to take the risk.

Jiang Hong knew perfectly well that the teacher who was fierce in words would take all the credit at the end of the semester; on the other hand, the teacher who was always smiling had an absurdly high failure rate at the end of the semester, leaving the students with nowhere to turn.

However, this course is indeed useless, because who will I manage after graduation!

Uh, no, you can learn to be managed.

Before the eight o'clock bell rang, a large group of students rushed into the classroom.

Jiang Hong and Li Hua arrived late, and the back seats were almost full.

The teacher started reciting gibberish as soon as he entered the room, and Jiang Hong let it go in one ear and out the other—no matter how hard he studied back then, he found that he couldn't use any of it after graduation, and it was a complete waste of time.

It seems that you really have to study a major with high entry requirements in college!
After finally getting through get out of class, the classroom erupted in chaos as soon as the serious old man left.

"Old Jiang, let's go eat breakfast, I'm starving," Li Hua urged, stretching.

Three meals a day, not one can be missed!
"You go first, I'll go find someone." Jiang Hong waved his hand.

Li Hua was puzzled. The two of them were always together, and Jiang Hong didn't have many familiar faces in his class.
Who can he turn to?
Just then, Jiang Hong strode forward and stopped a girl: "Su Cheng, wait a minute."

The girl was wearing a faded tracksuit top and jeans, her skin was dazzlingly white, and she had her hair tied in a ponytail. She looked like a well-behaved girl next door.

Su Cheng was suddenly stopped and paused for a moment before looking up to see the other person's face clearly.

Although my memory isn't very deep, I can still remember the other person's name.

She looked at the boy in front of her with surprise. "Jiang Hong? Is there something you need?"

The two had little interaction, and he couldn't figure out why Jiang Hong wanted to see him.

"Can we go over there and chat for a bit?" Jiang Hong pointed to the window where there were fewer people.

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Hong had a deep impression of Su Cheng; she was the class's recognized beauty and would definitely win the class beauty pageant.

But this girl was a loner for four years, never had any romantic rumors, consistently ranked first in her class, and reportedly didn't go for a guaranteed postgraduate admission, spending all her time working part-time.

So after thinking it over, Jiang Hong still felt that she was the most suitable person to be his caddie.

After all, being around a beautiful woman at least puts you in a good mood; how can you spend all your time with a big, burly man!
"Here's the thing, I'd like to find someone to help me, from six to seven-thirty every morning, for about two hours," Jiang Hong said, getting straight to the point.

Su Cheng didn't agree immediately, but asked instead, "What kind of job?"

"Help me retrieve the ball."

"Retrieve the ball?" Su Cheng was taken aback.

“Yes, I’ve been practicing my tennis serve lately. You just need to pick up the balls. It’s at the school’s tennis courts. It’s forty yuan a day.” Jiang Hong explained the job duties and salary.

"Forty yuan?" Su Cheng's eyes widened, clearly shocked. "Too little?"

"No, no, no!" She quickly waved her hand, her smile instantly brightening. "Not too little, not too little, I think it's just right!"

He looked exactly like a money-grubber!

Back in 07, a waiter might not even earn forty yuan a day, so this price is indeed outrageously high.

However, besides having Su Cheng fetch the ball for him, Jiang Hong had other tasks.

Su Cheng's eyes darted around, and she looked up to give Jiang Hong a heads-up.

"Jiang Hong, I don't plan to be in a relationship!"

So she was worried he might have other ideas.

Jiang Hong couldn't help but laugh: "Whether you date or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me. If you agree, let's meet at the tennis court at six o'clock tomorrow morning. You can try out the intensity first, and if you think it's good, then we can cooperate long-term."

Su Cheng had no objections and nodded: "Okay, see you tomorrow."

"Okay." Jiang Hong turned and left without saying another word.

Su Cheng watched his retreating figure and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Jiang Hong stepped out of the classroom, Li Hua grabbed him: "Tell me honestly, what did you want with Su Cheng?"

The way they were acting, they were going to torture you if you didn't explain yourself clearly.

"We agreed to be single together, but did you secretly find someone?" Li Hua's eyes were full of grievance.

This guy usually stutters when he sees pretty girls, but he can't stand seeing his brothers being better than him. He doesn't care about his own failures, but he feels heartbroken when his brothers succeed.

He waited until two or three years after graduating from university before finally becoming a top salesperson, and even managed to deceive a young girl with his smooth talk.

As for the opposite sex in college, the only person I came into contact with was the cafeteria lady who served food.

However, this chubby little boy is actually quite popular with older women.

When I serve this guy food, I always fill the bowl to the brim, while I don't even get half of what he gets.

Sigh, the world has such a big prejudice against handsome men!

"Don't worry, it's not what you think. I'll find a caddie." Jiang Hong patted his head, as if coaxing a son.

"Caddy?" Li Hua understood, but something just didn't feel right. "You're asking Su Cheng to be your caddie? You're up to no good! You want to take advantage of your proximity, right?"

After all, there are so many people in the tennis club, they're bound to find a result and find a beautiful one.

"I don't believe it!" He shook his head vigorously.

Jiang Hong was also convinced: "Okay, let's start dating."

These days, nobody believes the truth. Do you have to force him to lie?

"No, impossible!" Li Hua shook his head vigorously, refusing to believe it no matter what.

Jiang Hong ignored the guy and turned to walk outside, while the guy kept following him and muttering to himself.

"You have nothing to do with Su Cheng, right?"

"You're really something, to have found such a beautiful partner."

Jiang Hong reached up and picked at his ear. "Alright, stop howling. We're just boss and employee. If we were dating, would things be progressing this fast?"

This time, Li Hua believed it.

After all, she spends all her time with Jiang Hong, so if the two of them were dating, she would definitely see it.

However, you can ask the prettiest girl in the class to fetch the ball for you.

"Damn rich people!"
