I'm A Baller - Chapter 264
Chapter 264: Self Improvement Strategy
After such an unpleasant event, all kinds of card games were dismissed, and everyone was a little dispirited.
As the actual organizer, Yu Qiuli didn’t have time to think about Wang Yan and hurriedly cleaned up the mess.
“Let’s go, students, clean up and let’s go and eat!”
Gu Jiashu finally reacted and hurriedly made up for it.
“Right, let’s go. Let’s go to the Emperor’s Hall. Let’s eat and get drunk!”
Wang Yan continued to encourage, “Let’s agree on where we want to play tonight. I’ll ride on Datou’s generosity. Let’s book the entire venue and have a party all night long!”
After three consecutive hits, the atmosphere instantly became lively again.
“Oh Yeah! Let’s have a big meal! Let’s go to the bar!”
“Young Master Wang, we can go anywhere to play?”
Wang Yan laughed, “Today, we got 1,800,000 for nothing. You can do whatever you want in Gujiao City. If you can spend all, I’m convinced that you know how to play!”
“Hahahaha!”
Everyone was laughing very happily, and they were also extremely excited.
Gujiao, this lousy place, was extremely evil. For any occasion, they would book the entire place.
Just the current batch of graduates from experimental high school alone, there were more than four grand moves of booking a nightclub, bar, and KTV during the summer vacation.
It wasn’t a small scene where the entire class went, but more than half of the students of the same grade went to join in the fun.
It was a lively scene!
Some of the students in the class went to join in the fun, but they did not hold any themselves.
Liu Weilong was reluctant to spend money. Gu Jiashu had the aura of a loser and not a big brother. Miss. He was not interested at all. So until now, there hadn’t been any big scenes.
Now that Wang Yan had said that he was going to make a big move, it immediately aroused everyone’s interest.
“Then don’t go to karaoke. There’s no atmosphere of booking the venue!”
“How about a nightclub?”
“I think it’s fine. It’s more interesting than a bar.”
“Which club?”
“The best. Is there a need to save few hundred thousands for Young Master Wang?”
“Wow, I’ve never been there before!”
“Yeah, yeah. I don’t even dare to go. I’m afraid something might happen!”
“It’s alright today. We’re all on the same side. Just play!”
“Okay!”
Soon, everyone had a basic consensus. Then, they looked at Wang Yan eagerly.
The young master smiled and took out his phone. “Coco, right? How do we book The venue? Does anyone have a contact number?”
Gu Jiashu volunteered, “I’ll contact them. You just have to pay!”
Everyone gathered in a big circle and watched as Gu Jiashu turned on the speakerphone to make contact about booking the venue.
He first contacted an alumnus, a big brother-level tycoon who had booked the place before, and asked for the contact information of the person in charge of Coco. Then, he dialed the number.
“Hello, I want to book the place. What’s the situation now?”
“Who are you?”
“I’m Zheping’s buddy!”
“Ah… how do you want to book it?”
“What do you mean?”
Gu Jiashu took a long time to figure it out, and Wang Yan had no choice but to take over the responsibility of communicating.
“My surname is Wang. How do I address you?”
“Hello, Young Master Wang. My surname is Zhou. Could you please explain clearly what you want …”
“Please set up a card at the entrance. Anyone with an experimental high school student ID can enter freely. The rest are all blocked.”
“Okay. What about the consumption?”
“Each table is matched with a bottle of Spade A Gold, a bottle of pure wheat whiskey, and a bottle of dry red. Choose the best real wine from your house. The beer should be Budweiser Red Aluminum.”
“Okay, okay! Young Master Wang, I’ll get you a bottle of Macallan for the whiskey. The dry red wine is the choice of our Yi Yuan winery in the mining province. It’s absolutely authentic! What do you think?”
“Sure.”
While Wang Yan nodded, Gu Jiashu threatened, “If there’s a bottle of fake wine, you don’t need to open your nightclub!”
Manager Zhou immediately smiled apologetically. “It’s the industry rule to mix in some fake wine to sell. You’re the young master who booked the whole place, how would I dare? Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on it myself!”
“Price?” Wang Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense and went straight to the core.
“One table is about 15,000, and the store has a total of 58 units. In addition to the service and other miscellaneous charges, I’ll charge you an auspicious number: 888,888!”
“Sure. I’ll pay you an advance of 666,666. If anything unpleasant happens in the middle, you’ll have to bear the responsibility for the six twos. Is there a problem?”
“No, absolutely not! Don’t worry, I…”
Wang Yan couldn’t be bothered to listen and directly interrupted, “Account number?”
The 640,000 that he had just received immediately flew out.
But it didn’t matter. Chief Wang had picked up 4.5 million for free today. It was just a small amount!
After hanging up the phone, the students cheered like crazy.
“Oh yeah!”
“Long live Master Wang!”
“Young Master Wang is mighty and domineering! I wish our young master a spring breeze tonight!”
Who made the wish?!
Yu Qiuli subconsciously glanced over and remembered that single dog.
“Kid, with me here, don’t even think about finding a partner in class!”
…
Everyone had finally vented enough. They happily surrounded Wang Yan and Gu Jiashu in the middle and went to the restaurant.
Along the way, they kept calling and sending messages to invite their friends.
Nowadays, high school students basically had a class WeChat group. If they randomly found an acquaintance and told the story, it would quickly spread.
It was not an exaggeration to say that by 9 pm, at least 80% of the graduates in the same grade would have received the message.
Those who were willing to go would naturally go. Those who did not really want to go might be urged by their classmates.
The circle of students was relatively small and simple. If they could solve the safety problem, many people would be willing to join in the fun.
Taking into account that the juniors were tutoring, Wang Yan specially reminded everyone.
“Don’t spread it to the lower grades. Let the kids study in peace. Today is the graduation party.”
“Yes, you’re very thoughtful!”
Yu Qiuli nodded her head in appreciation.
Now, no matter how she looked at Wang Yan, whatever he said was right.
Wang Yan subconsciously checked the data–
Favorability 81.
Loyalty 32.
Tsk, it’s not a small increase?!
Liu Weilong and Gu Jiashu, you two are really godly assists!
It was the same situation when he met Liu Li on the train. Once a negative character was compared, the favorability would really soar.
Wang Yan wanted to rebuke her again, but after a moment of hesitation, he held back.
First, he could use the favorability rating. After all, loyalty was something to wait for.
When they arrived at the familiar Imperial Hall, Gu Jiashu was escorted to the main seat by everyone.
Wang Yan had no intention of stealing the limelight. There were many bad habits in Gujiao. Whoever spent money today would be the big brother.
Gu Jiashu sat down with pride and patted his left and right. “Come, Wang Er, class monitor, you two have to sit with the host!”
Yu Qiuli pressed Wang Yan down to the seat on the right, and then sat down next to Wang Yan with a smile.
“Wang Yan is the main to the host. I’ll just be the third. The second position must be reserved for your good brother, Da Wei!”
She then greeted the dumbfounded Da Wei, “Come, take care of Datou. For today’s dinner, let’s eat and chat more. Let’s save our alcohol tolerance for the next round!”
Gu Jiashu’s balls hurt.
He was just straight, not stupid. At this moment, he had already realized that it was not easy to chase away Liu Weilong, but now he had to open the door to welcome Wang Yan, who was even fiercer than his previous rival.
D*mn it, I only had a crush on a female classmate. Why was it so difficult?
“Bring the dishes! Where’s the manager? Hurry Up!”
Datou could not control his temper and shouted impatiently.
Wang Yan could see that ever since he entered university, Gu Jiashu had become even more impatient.
Perhaps it shouldn’t be described as impatient.
It was more like a kind of indulgence.
It was the first time he had left the shackles of his home. No one nagged at him every day. He didn’t have much pressure to study, and he had a lot of money. He could call on his friends as often as he wanted, and he could be free and unrestrained in the fancy world.
As a result, he was a little out of control.
In fact, ordinary high school students went out of control after college in the same manner. Many of them studied hard in high school. Once they entered college, they immediately indulged. They played games all night, and truancy was common.
It was just that ordinary students didn’t have that much money, so the degree of Indulgence wasn’t that big.
In the future, changes like Gu Jiashu’s would happen more and more often in front of Wang Yan’s eyes.
Wang Yan was quite glad.
I was also changing, but for the better.
Thank you, System Daddy, for awakening my passion for life!
Come on, class monitor, let’s drink!
Uh… why should I raise a toast to class monitor?
Because class monitor is a part of daily life…
While pouring the wine and thinking of a way to trick her, Gu Jiashu, who couldn’t stand it, pulled Wang Yan up and introduced him casually.
“Manager Liu, Wang is my good friend. Next time he comes for dinner, remember to give him a discount!”
Then he turned around and raised his eyebrows at Wang Yan, which probably meant: Wang Er, Am I good enough?
Manager Liu, who was smiling, chubby, and looked like a Maitreya Buddha, was slightly stunned the moment he saw Wang Yan.
He frowned and thought for about a second and then realized. He quickly bent his waist and reached out his hands to hold him.
“Aiyo, Young Master Wang! How are you? Long time no see. Your elegance is even better than before!”
Wang Yan recognized him at a glance. Wasn’t he the manager of the Food and Beverage Department of Dong Yuan International?
He was the one who had served him from the beginning to the end during the crab banquet last time.
Wang Yan reached out his right hand and shook the other party’s hand. He smiled reservedly and said, “Manager Liu, you’re too polite.”
The elegant demeanor of the aloof young master was indeed better than before.
In comparison, the carefree Gu Jiashu gave people the impression of a country bumpkin.
“Not at all!”
Manager Liu shook Wang Yan’s hand twice before releasing it with a humble smile.
“Thanks to your event, our Dong Yuan International has recently received a lot of online orders from foreign markets. Our boss is very grateful for your contribution!”
“It’s over exaggerated. How could a small event have such a big impact?”
Wang Yan waved his hand humbly, not wanting to accept this pretentious favor.
But manager Liu was unexpectedly serious.
“Young Master Wang, I’m really not flattering you!
After the last event, our weight on the major hotels and tourism online platforms began to slowly increase. Our reputation rating and so on were all very good.
At first, the booking department and the publicity department could not figure out what was going on.
Only later did they know that those few anchors had been carelessly praised by you, and even created a series of big eater competitions.
Our Dong Yuan International, as the supporter of the first big eater competition, actually got on the same level as Shanghai Kerry Hotel. Thanks to you…
Haha!
After figuring out what’s going on, the brothers in the publicity channel immediately put their efforts online. The photos of the King Crab Banquet were hung on it, and the calf bragged about it. Now, the quantity of online reservations has skyrocketed!
Our boss is so happy. He kept telling me that when you come again, we must give me a little token of appreciation!
Please wait for a moment, I’ll get someone to bring it over right away!”
After a series of words that were not flattery but were more like flattery, the students all started to stare at each other.
What was going on?!
What kind of trick did Young Master Wang pull this time?!
King Crab Feast?!
There were nearly 20 people watching the live broadcast, and many boys were watching. Haotian suddenly slammed the table and exclaimed.
“F*ck! You’re the godfather of the live broadcast, the king crab show-off, and the elusive boss Wang in the live broadcast world?! F*ck, aren’t you too f*cking awesome?!”
“What’s going on?!”
People were so curious and asked frantically.
Haotian vividly described the original scene. The students from time to time exclaimed and looked at Wang Yan with awe.
Family was well off, that’s understandable.
But to be able to make such a big scene, let the business bigwigs remember and feel grateful, it was not just ”great” that could fully describe.
At the very least, it had to be added a “f*ck”…
Wang Yan did not expect that the small matter back then would have such a mystical development. He felt surprised and amused at the same time.
However, this was what reality supposed to be.
A flap of the wings of a butterfly in South America could set off a storm in the Pacific Ocean.
The scene that Wang Yan created back then was not small. It was the first in the live broadcast world.
As Miko, Ling Ya, and the others became more and more popular, the influence of the big eater became greater and greater. It was only natural that a portion of the feedback would be given to the original partners.
For example, in Shanghai’s Kerry Hotel, every day there were customers who ordered the A5 Wagyu beef, causing pain and happiness to the Chief Chef.
Dong Yuan International’s rise in the online rankings and the popularity of the king crab were selling well. So what?
“It’s just a coincidence. I don’t dare to take credit for it.”
Wang Yan continued to be polite. Seeing that Fatty Liu was about to be anxious, he changed the topic.
“But I dare not reject the offer from the elder. Please convey my gratitude to your boss.”
“Okay, okay, okay!”
Manager Liu quickly nodded and smiled.
When the gift box was taken out, he opened it and saw a very unique translucent card.
“This is a Super VIP Diamond Card that our hotel rarely gives out to outsiders. Later, I’ll have to trouble you to do a simple registration with me. In the future, when you personally use the card to for your spending, everything will be discounted by 30%, and there will be a dedicated person to serve you.”
“Okay, thank you for your hospitality.”
Wang Yan took a brief look at the card and casually handed it to Yu Qiuli, who was looking up curiously, with an extremely calm expression.
It was just a broken card that could only be used by the person himself. It would not save him much. Instead, it would delay Wang Yan’s experience. It was not worth mentioning.
However, the unique design and special material of the card was extremely fresh in the hands of the students.
Gu Jiashu was thoroughly sore.
He pulled Wang Yan up and pretended to be dumb, so that he would not be stuck with Yu Qiuli. Why did it suddenly turn into a background? !
“F*ck, my dad took the Diamond Card…”
Gu Jiashu suddenly sat down and sighed.
He felt like they were not on the same level. How was he going to play?
It was so f*cking boring!
On the contrary, Yu Qiuli was very energetic.
Her ears were pricked up as she listened to the boys who were watching the live broadcast recounting the deeds of Wang.
She turned her eyes and stared at the diamond card that was passed around in the hands of her classmates.
She was excited and firmly believed that Wang Yan definitely did not have a partner. She had to get him as soon as possible and be prepared to start his career training in university.
Wang Yan had at least a media and entertainment company in his hands!
Only such a man was worth getting close to, learning from, and mastering!
Liu Weilong, Gu Jiashu, and the like. No matter how much money their families had, they were all weak!
Yu Qiuli did not believe that a woman from a small family could get many assets from a marriage. Everyone knew about Brother Dong’s prenuptial agreement.
She only believed in what was achieved through hard work, even if it was achieved through joint efforts.
Only when the money was in her own hands would it truly belong to her.
Her pragmatism made her pay more attention to the other party’s personal qualities and abilities when she observed the second generation of the rich, rather than their family background.
Family background was only a baseline. After exceeding that baseline, it was no longer important.
Therefore, Wang Yan inexplicably discovered that without any conversation, Yu Qiuli’s favorability suddenly skyrocketed, directly stopping at 89 points.
Eh?!
What was going on?!
The legendary… self-improvement strategy?!
