182: Chapter 182 Isn't riding a horse just about squeezing its belly and running?
Zhao Sihan grinned, tilted her little head up, and patted Su Ye on the shoulder generously, saying:
"That's right! My Old Su is going to open an old-fashioned Northeastern malatang place for me. Let me tell you, it's super delicious, super fragrant. Once it opens, you all have to come eat, okay? It's on the house, my treat."
Yu Chen and Chen Ze exchanged speechless glances. Two CEOs with net worths in the tens of billions going to eat malatang?
But seeing Zhao Sihan's radiant smile, they both shook their heads with a laugh and said in unison:
"Fine, we'll definitely bring people along when the time comes to liven up your new shop."
Zhao Sihan cupped her hands towards the two and said: "Then many thanks to you two brothers."
Seeing Zhao Sihan acting all chivalrous, Chen Ze and Yu Chen laughed heartily. "Hahahaha."
A while later, seeing the others still chatting, Zhao Sihan couldn't sit still and challenged Chen Ze. "Brother Ze, dare to race me?"
Chen Ze smiled amusedly and said: "Are you sure you want to race me? I played often when I was studying abroad, and since coming back, I've come at least once a month. I haven't slacked off."
The word "fear" had never existed in Classmate Xiao Zhao's dictionary. She said straightforwardly: "What's there to be afraid of! Isn't horse riding just running while gripping the horse's belly?"
Then Zhao Sihan said: "I still have some beef jerky I brought back from Shenyang. It's authentic Inner Mongolian stuff. Wait for me to go to the car and get it for you. When we're tired from riding later, we'll just squat by the horses and eat. It's way better than the stuff in this club!"
After speaking, she held out her hand to Su Ye and asked: "Old Su, where are the car keys?"
Su Ye reached into his trouser pocket, then his expression froze. It seemed he had been in such a hurry to chase Classmate Xiao Zhao earlier that he hadn't taken the keys from the car.
"I didn't take the car keys, they're still in the car. I'll accompany you over."
Yu Chen and Chen Ze followed along. Chen Ze looked at General Manager Lin Wensen and joked: "General Manager Lin, the security here is quite good, so there shouldn't be any problems."
General Manager Lin Wensen stood to the side, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Not daring to say much, he could only offer a forced smile: "General Manager Chen is joking, there definitely won't be any problems."
The entrance was only a few steps from the parking area, and they arrived in two or three minutes. As soon as Su Ye turned the corner, he saw a young man in a black suit standing in the shade, sweating profusely. His lips were somewhat chapped, and his originally neat suit looked a bit wilted.
When Zhang Zhihua saw Su Ye, it was like seeing a savior. His eyes lit up and he walked up quickly, saying: "Sir, I saw that your car wasn't locked earlier. I was afraid things might go missing, so I helped watch it. Are your friends here?"
Only after getting closer did he see the people following Su Ye. He was extremely familiar with one of them—it was the club's general manager, General Manager Lin Wensen—so he hurriedly called out: "General Manager Lin."
Su Ye took a deep look at Zhang Zhihua, then patted him on the shoulder and said to General Manager Lin Wensen: "General Manager Lin, your employees here are very good. They have truly implemented the concept of service in every aspect."
Yu Chen said with a smile from behind: "General Manager Lin's place is doing well. Next time I see Old Wu, I'll have to tell him to give you a raise."
General Manager Lin Wensen felt a weight lift off his heart. He had been afraid that someone might have sticky fingers and taken Su Ye's belongings. Although he didn't know Su Ye, Yu Chen and Chen Ze were regular patrons of their Golden Knight Club. Anyone who could be with them and have such a good relationship with them definitely wasn't a simple person; his own boss would likely have to treat them as equals.
Such people were the hardest to serve. If anything went wrong and they passed a word to his boss, he would have to pack his bags and leave that same day. Seeing Su Ye and Yu Chen praising his place now, he was extremely happy, especially since Yu Chen intended to help him make a good impression in front of his boss.
"General Manager Su, General Manager Yu, you are joking. This is all just what we should do."
Su Ye, Zhao Sihan, Yu Chen, and Chen Ze turned and walked towards the stables. General Manager Lin Wensen followed quickly and asked the person beside him: "Who was that just now?"
A middle-aged man in a black suit hurriedly replied: "General Manager Lin, that is Zhang Zhihua from the reception department—"
General Manager Lin Wensen thought for a moment and then said: "I remember there is still a supervisor position in the reception department. Give it to him. You submit the application, and I'll handle the communication on my end."
The middle-aged man hurriedly and respectfully replied: "Very well, General Manager Lin. I will submit the application today."
General Manager Lin Wensen nodded and then hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up with Su Ye and the others.
Inside the stables, Zhao Sihan said to the groom: "Could you please help me open the door?"
The groom glanced at General Manager Lin Wensen, then hurriedly opened the stable.
Zhao Sihan led the horse, Rouge, out. Rouge followed Zhao Sihan out very docilely. Classmate Xiao Zhao reached out and stroked the horse's face: "Oh my, this fur is so smooth! It's even better to touch than my dog's fur! It's exactly the same as the Rouge at my horse farm."
Zhao Sihan pulled a handful of beef jerky from her LV bag and stuffed it into the horse's mouth.
Chen Ze watched from the side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He pointed at the beef jerky in Classmate Xiao Zhao's hand and then at the bag to the side, saying: "You're feeding it this? This is specialized horse feed for training..."
Zhao Sihan stuffed the beef jerky into "Rouge's" mouth: "What's there to be afraid of! My dog eats this! Besides, Rouge ate some earlier, and I saw that it really likes it."
Rouge chewed, swallowed, and then nuzzled against Zhao Sihan. Classmate Xiao Zhao proudly patted the horse's neck: "Brother Ze, look, it loves it!"
Remembering something, Zhao Sihan's eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at General Manager Lin Wensen and said: "Oh right, General Manager Lin, when I ride 'Rouge' later, have them turn on the arena's broadcast and play 'The Most Dazzling Folk Style'! This song is energetic; horse riding will definitely be fast!"
Yu Chen laughed from the side, slapping his thigh: "This girl, wherever she goes, she brings that Northeastern flavor with her. Interesting!"
Zhao Sihan vaulted onto the horse. The movement was crisp, but she didn't step firmly onto the stirrup and wobbled a bit before sitting straight. Then she said to Yu Chen: "Big Brother Yu, you don't understand!"
"You have to listen to energetic songs when riding! I listen to this when I race my dad at my horse farm. It makes horse riding super fierce, and it runs super fast."
As she spoke, Zhao Sihan flicked the reins, and Rouge obediently trotted out. Zhao Sihan turned her head to look at Su Ye and the others and shouted: "Old Su, Brother Chen, Brother Ze, hurry up! Come on, what are you dawdling for?"
Su Ye shook his head helplessly, vaulted onto the black horse the groom had brought out, flicked the reins, and trotted to catch up.
Su Ye had ridden horses a few times back in Chang City. Although he couldn't claim to have great technique, as long as the horse was docile, he could still ride it. Furthermore, with his physical fitness and balance enhanced by the system, he was more than capable of handling it with ease.
Yu Chen and Chen Ze exchanged smiles, then took the reins handed over by the groom for the racehorses they boarded at the club and mounted their horses one after another.
Sunlight spilled onto the racecourse. Zhao Sihan's screams mixed with the intro of "The Most Dazzling Folk Style" (Su Ye had indeed had someone turn on the broadcast), along with her occasional shouts of "Giddy up! Giddy up! Charge for me!", disrupting the elegant atmosphere of this top-tier equestrian club and filling it with lively Northeastern vibes.
General Manager Lin Wensen stood where he was, watching Zhao Sihan riding "Rouge" and charging around recklessly. He had almost crumpled the notebook in his hand when he heard Yu Chen shout from afar:
"General Manager Lin, add a whole roasted lamb for this evening! The kind that's freshly slaughtered, and roasted the Northeastern way!"
Zhao Sihan immediately chimed in: "Right! And get two cases of Old Snow beer! It tastes way better than this lousy red wine of yours!"
General Manager Lin Wensen wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a wry smile: "Alright, I'll arrange it right away!"
