I'm A Baller

Chapter 281: Fight the Landlord

With enough red wine, beer, and Champagne, everyone quickly got high.

Scumbag Wang was especially cunning. Seeing that his classmates were having the intention to attack him, he immediately picked up Yan Bao and held her in his arms, refusing to let go.

Then he taught the Little Loli to do bad things. “Yan Bao, be good. If anyone comes to make me drink, you just cry!”

Yan Huaishi almost burst into tears.

“Brother, don’t play a fool, it scares me when my daughter goes crazy!”

Mother Yan was laughing hysterically. She just stood by and watched the show.

However, Yan Bao was especially serious. She hugged Wang Yan’s neck and refused to let go. She nodded her head vigorously, “Brother, don’t worry. I’ll protect you!”

Her face was full of sense of mission. Tsk tsk, she was a ruthless character who could withstand things!

Therefore, when the sand sculpture boys rushed over with wine glasses, they immediately received the death stare from the little girl.

“Brother Wang Yan is working hard and still wants to play with me. Can you guys not make things worse? ! Daddy said that if women don’t get drunk, men won’t have the chance. Go and find your sisters to drink!”

Logic was a little lacking, but the imposing manner was right.

The Little Loli puffed up her cheeks and widened her eyes, which amused the boys and the girls who were overflowing with maternal love.

Everyone surrounded the Little Loli and teased her. No one paid attention to Wang Yan anymore.

Scumbag Wang used Yan Bao to escape and turned around to pull the Little Loli’s father into the water. “Old Yan, look at you. What did you teach your child?”

It was so righteous.

Yan Huaishi was dumbfounded.

“When did I teach? I didn’t!”

Yan Bao’s mother suddenly pulled a long face. “Yan Huaishi, you’re usually not behaving. See what my little good girl has learned from you?!”

Facing his wife’s death stare, Yan Huaishi could not think of an explanation. In the end, he waved his hand angrily and hid to the side.

“What the heck with you women. I can’t be bothered to argue with you. I’m going to grill meat!”

True enough, Yan Huaishi returned to the side of the grill and started to work.

Wang Yan saw Yan Huaishi’s skillful movements and his heart skipped a beat.

He followed him and chatted with him. “Brother Yan, how’s the restaurant business?”

“Pretty good!”

Yan Huaishi immediately became happy when talking about what he was proud of. He waved his tongs in delight.

“Brother Wang, it’s not that I’m bragging to you, but in terms of stone slab cuisine, I, Yan Huaishi, dare to claim the second place in Star City. No one dares to claim the first place!”

“Then I have to try it!”

Wang Yan held it in his hands and chatted with him with great interest. “Brother Yan, I’m very interested in food. Tell me, how should stone slab cuisine be classified, and what kind of cuisine should it be?”

“Sure, let’s have a chat!”

Yan Huaishi was very happy. He picked up the roasted meat and sat down on a small chair beside him. He opened two bottles of beer and started chatting with Wang Yan.

“Stone slab cuisine does not belong to any cuisine, strictly speaking

Currently, the more famous stone slab roast meat in the world is Korean and South American style.

But in reality, there is a tradition of using stone slabs to cook all over the world.

For example, in our China, there is an ancient cooking method called “Shi Fan”, which cooks grains using roasted hot stones.

Therefore, no matter which country you say it belongs to, it is wrong. This is just an isolated, niche cooking method.”

Wang Yan asked again, “Then what are its advantages? The most important and unique part.”

Yan Huaishi nodded and raised his glass, “Good question!”

The two clinked their glasses and took a sip. The chef spoke slowly.

“Modern people pay attention to nature, environmental protection, and health. Our slate is made of natural volcanic rock, which itself is in line with the trend.

Of course, that’s not a core advantage, it’s just a gimmick.

The core feature is actually because the slate is evenly heated, which allows the ingredients to be roasted into the most beautiful golden color on the outside. At the same time, the internal water loss is less, achieving some kind of the most appropriate balance.

This advantage is something that a normal barbecue, or pan-fried meat, can not do.

So, as a specialty cuisine, stone slab cuisine has a very fresh flavor.

I created several kinds of fried and grilled fruits, beef and seafood dishes based on the concept of crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and fresh and juicy. You must come and try it when you have time.”

“Okay, definitely!”

Wang Yan nodded with a smile, but he thought in his heart, “Good, if your stone slab cuisine is really that delicious, then don’t think about running away!

Come into my trap!”

Ever since he decided to develop his home’s barren mountains into a top-grade food production area, Wang Yan had been considering related issues.

To build a world-class private manor was the young master’s inflating ambition.

Spending so much time and energy to do it, and not doing it to the best, was really not in line with his identity as a god tier tycoon.

But, what kind of manor was considered top-grade?

The external construction had to be stunning at a glance, and the software configuration was the most important.

The hardware was mainly a matter of money. It was relatively easy to solve, but the software was a little more troublesome.

There had to be a top-notch horticulturist, right?

There had to be a top-notch brewer, right?

There had to be a top-notch chef, right?

Top-notch medical teams, drivers, crew members, security, management…

There were so many of them, but the gap was too big.

Unfortunately, Young Master Wang did not even have a single candidate.

Currently, the only person in Wang Yan’s network who had top-notch skills, Dave, was more suitable to be a personal butler. With the personal service to Wang Yan, he was unlikely suitable to be a manor butler.

For a private manor like this, the talent needed was not just about money.

Mutual choice and trust were more important than salary.

Without a highly professional, excellent, harmonious team, no matter how well the hardware of the manor was built, it was just an empty shell.

When he thought of team building, Wang Yan’s head hurt.

When he was still a naive high school student, Wang Yan thought that everything in the world was very simple. As long as he had money, he could easily gather the best talents under him and then be a boss.

After enjoying the high-end service, Wang Yan finally understood that it was not the case at all.

Take the experience of buying watches as an example.

Airbnb’s brand was only a little worse off than Patek Philippe’s, and they were on the same level overall. However, Airbnb’s sales service ability was not just a little worse off than Patek Philippe’s middle-aged gentleman.

Hermès’ sales were basically putting an unspoken rule on their forehead: if you didn’t buy the allotment, you wouldn’t get the hot bag.

Was it the difference between the brands?

Was it the difference between the individuals?

Was it the difference in salary?

No, it was actually the gap between the concept and management.

Even someone as strong as Ali was often beaten down by the grassroots team in a certain field. It was useless no matter how much President Ma was willing to spend.

When it came to Wang Yan’s manor plan, it was the same predicament– there was no lack of money, talent was hard to come by, and the team was even harder to come by.

Therefore, when Young Master Wang suddenly realized that someone was useful to the manor, his eyes were green.

A three-star chief chef was like a radish in a pit. Well-known Chinese food masters were even more difficult to deal with. They were either standing guard at the state banquet, or they had their own restaurant with heritage. It was difficult to dig up even one, not to mention digging up a pile of eight major cuisines.

Yan Huaishi’s stone slab cuisine was a very interesting special type of cuisine. It was very suitable for cooking high-grade ingredients. While ensuring the original flavor, it also added a unique flavor.

Moreover, since this big brother was in the restaurant business, he must have a lot of connections in the restaurant industry. It might be an opportunity to settle the Hunan cuisine.

That was why Young Master Wang was so interested in him.

It was definitely not because of some Lolita!

…

It was really easy for Wang Yan to build a relationship with someone by showing his affinity and high EQ.

Not long after, the two of them began to call each other brothers and was taken as confidants by Yan Huaishi.

They chatted about all kinds of interesting things in the restaurant industry until it was past 10 o’clock when Mother Yan came back with her child.

Yan Bao had a lot of big sisters to coax her. She was so happy that she didn’t even think about going home. She ran around and finally ran out of energy. She was so sleepy that she couldn’t open her eyes.

The five-or six-year-old child was sleepy. When the couple saw this, they immediately said goodbye to Wang Yan.

“Brother and sister-in-law Yan, how are you two going to come back tomorrow?” Wang Yan asked politely.

“We took the high-speed train here. It’s too troublesome to drive.”

“Alright, come with us tomorrow and we’ll send you to the place. We won’t keep you now. Take Yan Bao back to sleep!”

Now was indeed not the time to chat. Yan Huaishi did not say anything. He waved goodbye to Wang Yan and turned around to leave.

On the way back, Mother Yan whispered to Yan Huaishi, “Which family’s young master is that child from? Does he have some business that he wants to work with you on?”

“He didn’t reveal anything.”

Yan Huaishi shook his head and rubbed his belly with a smile, “But there should be something that he needs me for. He’s not someone who would be particularly enthusiastic about strangers.”

“Yeah, that kid has the strength to look down on the world from the bottom of his heart. He’s very arrogant!”

Mother Yan nodded in agreement.

The couple’s few words had almost stripped Young Master Wang of his true colors.

It was not that Wang Yan’s performance was not good, but that the aura of a tycoon was too strong. His demeanor was revealed directly, and those with a bit of discernment would not think that he was an ordinary rich second generation.

Yan Huaishi laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “This body of mine is not worthy of Young Master Wang’s attention. Just this little bit of cooking skills can be considered impressive. I reckon that in the end, it can only fall on this.”

“Then let’s wait for them to mention it! Anyway, they won’t have any bad intentions towards us. What is there for them to remember about us?”

“Nonsense!”

Yan Huaishi blew his beard and glared. Only when his wife was frightened did he let out a mischievous laugh.

“My wife is as beautiful as a flower. The charm of a mature young woman is more than a hundred times more beautiful than those little girls. Why is there nothing worth remembering?”

“D*mn it!”

The couple stopped discussing Wang Yan and began to flirt…

Then it had nothing to do with Wang Yan.

Young Master Wang watched the couple leave and judged Yan Huaishi’s character in his heart. He felt that it was a little tricky.

This was not a fighting sect that was willing to leave their homeland to explore. It was a middle-aged middle-class man who was contented with his small fortune. He was quite difficult to deal with.

Unless…

Young Master Wang’s heart skipped a beat as he turned his attention to Yan Bao.

If he really had no other choice, he would have no choice but to make a move on the Little Loli!

Of course, he couldn’t do anything illegal. He could only use his emotions to entice her. There was no need to think too much about it.

He pulled himself out of his thoughts. The students were leaving the venue and getting ready to rest.

“Yo, are you guys done fooling around already?”

Yi Dashuai responded on behalf of the girls, “We have to wake up early tomorrow and go to the Infinity Pool to clock in. There are many places on the way that are worth taking photos. We might not have enough time for the whole morning. Of course, we have to rest early.”

Young Master Wang waved his hand impatiently. “If the girls like to take photos, they can take photos. Why are you joining in the fun? Come, let’s have a few more drinks!”

“Hahahaha…”

The girls were laughing, and Yi Dashuai was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

“Am I your brother?! Did you bump into me in the men’s toilet?!”

Yi Dashuai was 192 centimeters tall, and her clothing was androgynous. She always played basketball with the boys in the basketball court. She was indeed very manly.

But no matter what, she was a normal girl.

It was just a joke.

“In your dreams. There are only a few seedlings in our class. If you go into the men’s toilet once, the disaster will be over… at most, I’ll give you Squirrel. It’s a little short, so you just make do with it.”

“Dashuai, let’s go! Class monitor is especially high today. Ignore him.”

Dumpling couldn’t stand it and came out to fight for justice.

Lou Lou followed, “That’s right. He’s getting less and less adorable now. In the future, let’s stay away from this scum!”

“Aiyo, I thank you all!”

Wang Yan wanted this effect, so when he heard that, he laughed even more happily.

Yi Dashuai gave a middle finger, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly she remembered something and turned back to ask.

“Aiyo, since you treat me as a brother, why don’t you bring me along when our class plays basketball?!”

What the heck, what’s wrong with you?!

Wang Yan was shocked. “Big sis, do you think that matches are just for fun?”

Yi Dashuai glanced at the boys around him and curled her lips in disdain. “It’s not that I want to mock you guys, but you guys are just a bunch of misfits. You’re really not as good as I am when it comes to playing!”

Wang Yan did not play basketball, so he did not know the truth. He turned to look at Squirrel and Song Chen who often played.

In the end, Squirrel lowered his head and was too embarrassed to say anything.

“What the heck! Are you serious?! Squirrel, you can’t even beat a girl?”

Squirrel bit the bullet and retorted, “Who said I can’t beat her? I was just giving in to her!”

Well, what did Wang Yan not understand?

“I’m so confused. Then why are our class still participating in the basketball game? We can’t even gather all the players on the field. Let’s disperse!”

“No, no!”

Yi Dashuai immediately stopped them. “Squirrel, Song Chen, Sichuan Boy and I, that makes four. Class monitor, if you go on the field again, the five of us can still gather. When the time comes, listen to my instructions. I’ll take you flying!”

Lou Lou also added to the mess. “You can join class two in the basketball game, but not the sports meet. Class Monitor, you have to sign up for at least three events!”

Wang Yan was interested in all the activities that he should have participated in when he was young. After all, he only had one or two chances in his life. When he became a real big shot in society, he really could not be so casual anymore.

Perhaps he would have to wait until the day he retired before he could talk about his youth madness. However, his state of mind at that time would definitely be different from before.

Therefore, he agreed very decisively. “Alright, let’s go back and study about the sports meet. As for the basketball game…”

Wang Yan glanced at Yi Dashuai. The 1.9 meter tall girl was eagerly looking forward to it. It was an eyesore.

“I’ll ask the department later. If It’s okay, I’ll bring you along.”

Everything was for entertainment. What could he do with a girl!

“Oh yeah! Class monitor, you’re so handsome!”

The Dashuai burst into cheers. She was about to raise Wang Yan up high.

“Stop, stop! Don’t you want to wake up early to clock in? Girls, disperse. You’re not allowed to sneak into the boys’ rooms at night!”

“Shameless!”

“Bah!”

“Who cares about you guys!”

The girls laughed and left, leaving the group of boys behind.

Wang Yan turned around to look at Fu Yushi and Lin Weiwei, suddenly he had a headache.

“What room did you two book? Aren’t you going back to rest?”

“We went to that internet celebrity pool in the afternoon. There’s no need to wake up early tomorrow.”

Fu Yushi replied steadily.

Lin Weiwei rolled her eyes and giggled. “I can’t sleep anyway. Why don’t we play Landlords for a while?”

How, how?

Was it the Landlord that I know?!

The young master swallowed his saliva, feeling a little numb.
