I am not just a tycoon

Ji Ya immediately understood and took out 10 bills of 100 denomination from her purse, handing over 5 bills each to them.

The two exchanged glances, stunned for a while, and finally, it was the service assistant who showed a sign of remorse: "Mr. Shen, you have seen through us all along."

Shen Yuan chuckled softly: "Your acting needs improvement. Moreover, even if your performances were satisfactory, wouldn't this lady here, who frequents the golf course, notice the difference from usual?"

The caddie scratched his head, not expecting his first attempt at acting to end in failure, but looking at the tip being handed over, he quickly shook his head: "Mr. Shen, we can't accept this."

Accepting this 500, he was afraid he might be fired by the management tomorrow.

These days, it's not easy to find a well-paying job.

The star of service also shook their head: "Mr. Shen, you are our boss not a client, it's not appropriate for us to accept this."

"Take it, you deserve it. Don't make my assistant reach out for too long."

Hearing Shen Yuan say so, the two reluctantly accepted, knowing most customers at this place tip between 200-300, so Mr. Shen giving 500 was like a double.

Then, the caddie drove the sightseeing cart with three people to the golf course restaurant.

Shen Yuan sat in the second row, asking Dai Lu next to him: "What do you think about this golf course?"

Dai Lu couldn't help but glance at him: "Why suddenly asking this, isn't this your own golf course that you know well?"

"I want to hear different perspectives from different people. Yuchang said you're the marketing strategist at your company and a consumer here, so your perspective might be different."

Shen Yuan indeed had several reports from law firms, but those contained only data, lacking business analysis.

According to Lin Yuchang, Dai Lu's income isn't low, and she holds a certain position in her company, so her business capabilities should be fine.

"So you mean you want free advice?"

Dai Lu lifted her chin: "No wonder you kept me here for lunch, you really have the cheek."

"It's a tough job."

Shen Yuan reached out to hook Dai Lu's shoulder but was immediately knocked away and received an annoyed glare.

Ji Ya, sitting in the third row of the sightseeing cart, seeing the two flirting and bickering, wondered if the boss was not yet completely won over, whether she, the "Eunuch," needed to help somehow?

Dai Lu thought for a moment, organized her professional knowledge, and then said: "I initially chose this golf course because it's located next to Lushan, with nice scenery along the way, plus the grounds and facilities were acceptable."

"However, after visiting a few other golf courses for comparison, I realized that the facilities and support here are just mediocre, and the location doesn't have a clear advantage, somewhat mediocre."

"To improve, I think we need to start from three aspects. First, upgrade the golf course facilities, including leveling the fairways, enhancing the quality of greens, repairing sand traps, adding rest pavilions, mainly to improve the comfort of the playing process for customers. Of course, I didn't consider the cost."

"Second, provide personalized services based on customer needs. For instance, establishing player profiles, recording their playing habits, clubs' preferences, dietary likes and dislikes, etc. This is to create differentiation from other golf courses, offering something they don't, and also to increase customer satisfaction."

"Third, organize diverse events, such as collaborations with enterprises, social groups for business and charity events, venue rentals, etc. On one hand, it's for revenue, and on the other hand, it will help increase the golf club's renown."

"That's all I have for now."

Dai Lu lifted her snow-white chin: "If you want to know more comprehensive details, I could prepare a business analysis PPT for you, but that would be a different price."

"One doesn't speak in two tongues within the family."

"Who's family with you... don't spout nonsense."

Although Dai Lu retorted, hearing Shen Yuan's teasing words, she couldn't really take offense.

If Qian Zihao had said this, she would feel degraded, but hearing it from Shen Yuan made it seem amusing and playful.

Apparently, she too had a double standard.

The caddie and the star of service, sitting in the front row, were still digesting the conversation.

They weren't management and hadn't studied operations or marketing, but these suggestions sounded exactly like what was lacking at the golf course.

They initially thought this woman was just a pretty face, but turns out she was quite capable, no wonder Mr. Shen kept her close.

Arriving at the golf course restaurant, Shen Yuan scanned around, noting the cleanliness and tidiness, the bright polish on the tables and chairs, and the staff wearing uniforms, hats, and masks, showing that hygiene and cleanliness were quite good.

"Dai Lu, you must have eaten here before, right? Is there anything different from when you last came here?"

"Today it is indeed cleaner, but I also thought it was quite good before."

"Mhm."

Shen Yuan casually found a table with the two of them and sat down. Before they could even order, a few men in suits and leather shoes approached.

The man leading them pleaded earnestly with both hands extended: "Mr. Shen, I am the general manager of Lushan Golf Club, Zheng Feng, it's an honor to meet you."

"Mhm, have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together."

"Hello Mr. Shen, I am the member service manager at Lushan Golf Club, Yang Jun..."

"Hello Mr. Shen, ..."

All management from the club is here. Even the marketing manager, who was on vacation, rushed back as soon as he heard the boss was inspecting.

"Mr. Shen, I apologize for any inconvenience. Today was my arrangement, mainly to leave you with a good first impression."

Zheng Feng nodded slightly. The man, in his forties, now looked like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for a parent's reprimand.

The other management staff were the same, each slightly bowing, waiting to be scolded. The profits at Lushan Golf were not ideal, and everyone here was responsible, all the while fearing that Shen Yuan might directly fire a bunch of them with three decisive moves.

"No worries, I called everyone here to meet face-to-face. Let's sit down and eat first, we can talk about work matters later," Shen Yuan said.

Dai Lu wanted to see the domineering CEO hold a meeting with the subordinates. Unfortunately, Shen Yuan cared more about eating.

The office area of the course is on the second floor of the lobby. Shen Yuan's office had already been cleared out. After eating, everyone headed to the office.

Like at Sinan Club, this was a suite. Inside there was not only a desk and filing cabinets but also a seating area, and additionally, a resting room with a bed.

This suite was larger than the one at the club, equipped with luxury office supplies that looked quite decent.

Zheng Feng brought several reports, and Shen Yuan, leaning on the sofa, asked him to place them on the desk and then said, "Let's talk about any issues in the afternoon."

Zheng Feng was somewhat confused, not quite understanding the boss's intentions or what this visit would entail, and whether he would be held accountable. But since the boss had said so, he had no choice but to comply.

Seeing Ji Ya waiting at the door, Zheng Feng greeted her: "Hello, how should I address you?"

"My surname is Ji, call me Ji Ya, I am Mr. Shen's assistant."

Ji Ya was more submissive in front of Shen Yuan but showed a comparatively colder face to the subordinates of these bosses, saying:

"Mr. Shen has a habit of taking a noon nap. If there's nothing important, he always naps first. Also, Mr. Shen doesn't like being pushed, if he has a problem or needs you to do something, he will tell you."

"Thank you, Assistant Ji."

Zheng Feng sincerely said, though this was the boss's assistant, he dared not treat her merely as an assistant.

Someone who is always by the boss's side must be extremely trusted, and such a person cannot be offended even a little.

Although Ji Ya's tone was colder, she had informed him of the boss's style of doing things, which was also a kind of goodwill gesture.

...

In the office, Shen Yuan adjusted the angle of his chair, lounging semi-reclined, and swaying the boss's chair, he beckoned Dai Lu: "Come over and give me a massage."

"Dream on, I'm not giving you a massage."

Dai Lu was replying to messages from her sisters, not even glancing at Shen Yuan.

"If you won't massage me, I'll come massage you."

Only then did Dai Lu turn her head: "Shen Yuan, you're trying to bully me again... if you dare to mess around, I'm leaving straight away."

"Alright, alright, I won't mess around. Come over and massage my shoulders, they really are a bit sore."

Dai Lu skeptically asked, "Really, just a shoulder massage?"

"Of course, you know my character."
