I'm A Baller - Chapter 95
Chapter 95: A Different Way of Reporting Safety
Lady Luck had to be smiling upon him. Liu Li happened to be taking a break from rehearsal and was able to answer the phone the moment he called.
“Wang Wang, how was it? Are you having a good time? ”
The moment she asked this question, Wang Yan knew that Lin Weiwei and the others had not informed Liu Li yet.
“Yes, I enjoyed myself. ”
“Ho Ho, isn’t racing exceptionally exciting? ”
“How could it be exciting? That was pretty exciting! ”
There was a burst of exhilaration in Wang Yan’s tone and Liu Li could empathize with what he felt. It soothed her and she eased up while giggling foolishly.
“Then why aren’t you focusing on having fun? Miss me?”
“Yes, I miss you very much.”
Wang Yan responded, and his tone suddenly changed. He said pitifully, “It was 30,000. I’m having a major heartache… Tsk! ”
“What’s wrong? You’re moaning like a dog being neutered…”
Liu Li did not take him seriously and giggled.
“You can still laugh about it? Did you know that your family’s Lin Pingzhi almost couldn’t come back alive? Let me tell you, the situation at that time was horrifying…”
Wang Yan used an exaggerated and teasing tone to roughly describe what happened today. At the end of his recount, he did not forget to claim credit for his contribution, as well as to put up a pitiful front.
“If it weren’t for the efforts of the other guys into remediating the situation, today, we will all be dressed in white to attend Sister Weiwei’s funeral, wishing her well as she move on to her afterlife… In the end, she was unscathed while a huge sum was extorted from me.”
“Ah?! Then how about you? Are you seriously injured?”
Liu Li let out a series of exclamations out of extreme anxiety.
This led to Wang Yan’s voice sounding even more anguished as he said, “Pretty serious! I’ve been tormented with injuries all over my body… Tsk! My waist hurts… Aiyo, my arm hurts… My 30,000, come and take care of me, I am in such agony! ”
“Humph! Liar!”
This time, Liu Li did not believe him at all. She began trilling, making soft, adorable sounds along the way. Probably sticking out her tongue?
“Just apply some medication on wherever you have a bruise. Don’t try to pull off this show of pity on me. If I am really so gullible, would it be possible that you have a turn?!”
“Eh?! This situation isn’t turning out right… 30,000. Come on, let me show you my… wound! ”
Wang Yan’s voice changed in a second.
Liu Li, “…”
Just as she had expected!
“Hurry up and go eat your dinner, alright, you jerky Wang! I’ll go check in on Sister Weiwei… Sigh! I only have this much time to rest every day, and I still have to worry about you bothersome guys. So annoying! ”
Actually, Liu Li was not really annoyed, rather, she was very worried. She hung up the phone and rushed to the dormitory impatiently. She really was not that worried about Wang Yan anymore.
Meanwhile, Wang Yan lay on the big bed while listening to the call that was placed on speakerphone mode being hung up automatically. She smiled silently.
It is because I don’t want you to worry about me anymore, that’s why I’m putting on this pitiful front and playing the victim with you…
Silly girl, you want to act smart in front of me, you’ve still got a long way to go…
Your performance is nearing, just focus on your rehearsal. When you come back, we’ll settle all the scores, both new and old, at one go!
…
Shortly after, Dave brought a doctor to the suite to check on Wang Yan’s injury.
Since he had nothing to do, Wang Yan started to talk to Dave about hotel doctors
It turned out that due to the different medical systems in foreign countries, many five-star hotels managed by large hotel groups had full-time private doctors to cater to the needs of their guests.
Of course, the higher the status of the guests, the more cordial and thorough the service would be rendered.
However, the moment the status of the guest reached a certain level, it was obvious that the hotel’s medical services would not be needed. Therefore, taking into account the cost-effectiveness ratio, the doctors that were usually deployed were the GPs, that is, the so-called General Practitioners. They were able to carry out initial diagnosis, deal with common external injuries, and administer basic first-aid.
Similar systems would not work in China, though hotel groups like Shangri-la, Four Seasons, and Aman would still try their best to allocate certain resources for diagnosis and treatment. However, these services would generally not be offered to ordinary hotel guests.
The risks were too high and benefits too few, it was not worthwhile at all.
Finally, Dave said, “If you have plans to travel abroad, Mr. Wang, I suggest you try to choose Shangri-La’s hotels. With Your VIP status, you are entitled to enjoy some pretty good additional services.”
Wang Yan thought that in mentioning his VIP status, it would refer to something like the Golden Circle Membership VIP card, so he did not take it seriously.
At this time, the doctor had finished treatment of the wound and was summarizing his diagnosis of Wang Yan’s condition.
“Your injury is not serious. There are some bruises on your back, minor cuts on your forearm and hand. If you apply medicine on time, the scabs will probably form in a day, and you will fully recover in three to five days. Be careful not to take a shower within the next 24 hours.”
“in addition, there are minor strains on your back muscles and groin muscles. Take a break from training for the time being. With your age, the time taken for muscle recovery may be even faster than your external injuries.”
Wang Yan was completely relieved when he heard that. In a few days’ time, when Sanwan returned after her performance, he would definitely have fully recovered and she would not know anything about it at all.
“Thank you. Sorry to have put you through all this trouble. May I know how much should I be pay you?”
The doctor smiled and said, “Think nothing of it. I have a contractual relationship with the hotel. There’s no need to pay consultation fee for such a minor situation.”
The other party refused his offer out of his personal ethics, but no matter what, Wang Yan had to show his gratitude in some way or the other.
As a god-tier tycoon, one had to be generous in one’s concept of spending. When one did not want to spend money, one should not force oneself. If one could use money to bring satisfaction to one another, then one should not be stingy.
“Look, it just so happens that I have to drag you here during meal time. I feel quite bad about it. How about this, I will reimburse you for that little bit you spent on transport, and then get Dave to take you down for a simple meal. I have a spending allowance of 500 yuan daily that the hotel has given. If I can’t finish it all myself, it will also go to a waste. There is no need to stand on ceremony with me.”
As he spoke, he took out 400 yuan from his wallet and shoved two bills over to each of them.
That gesture made the doctor feel quite flattered. While 200 yuan was not a lot, it was the heart of the giver that was hard to come by.
He refused twice and said “I’m sorry, I don’t deserve it” twice. After going through the same cycle twice, he eventually accepted what was given to him happily.
Look, everyone was happy. How nice.
Before he left, the doctor cordially reminded him again, “Your injury is fine. Relax, don’t drink, don’t smoke, and just rest well. If there’s anything wrong, get Dave to contact me any time.”
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows.
Everything else was fine, but how could he not drink?
As long as Huang Xu dared to serve Maotai at the banquet tomorrow, he would make sure that he would gorge all of them with so much of it that they would be entirely filled with Maotai from their throat all the way to the end of the digestive system!
With a healthy body, this was just how one should let go of all self-restraint.
After today’s incident, Wang Yan finally came to a perfect understanding of the standard of his physical fitness level.
On the whole, his strength was probably at topmost level in the 68-kilogram class, his speed was that of a national first-class athlete, and he definitely had a comprehensive healthy physique without shortcomings.
Individual events were not considered inhuman, so long as these belonged to the kind of events that people could participate in the school sports meet, such as sprinting, high jump, shot put, and marathon. He was easily the standard of top three places in these events.
Totaling everything gave a very strong combination that was comprehensive and without shortcomings. He was capable of anything and everything.
His intelligence, in particular, was playing an increasingly obvious and huge role.
Suddenly, Wang Yan really looked forward to drawing the [Attribute Modifier (genius level)] as he was keen to know what kind of experience it would be when his attributes were pushed above 80.
Genius..
What a dream word!
Hehe, since he was young, he had always fantasized that one fine day, he would suddenly discover that he had an absolute talent in a certain aspect. He was the kind of genius that only appeared once in 4,000 years.
Even if he did not belong to that kind of awe-inspiring class of talents who were so gifted in piano, painting, basketball, swordsmanship, and so on, it would still be pretty good if he knew how to play a ball!
In the end?
Even when he was just playing a game, he was bombarded by all kinds of people.
This world was just too unfriendly to losers. Fortunately, Heavenly Father had a keen eye for talent and discovered his potential. Otherwise, how could he be the a dashing character like he was at present?
There was a saying in a political book that went, “Internal factors determine the nature and direction of the development of things, and they are the primary reason why things change and develop.”
The college entrance examination had just ended. Who dared to raise any objection?
The more the swollen-headed Wang thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense. Hence, he went to eat in a good mood.
Everything that happened today was good, and tomorrow would be even better.
As a god-tier tycoon, this should be the right mentality to have!
