I'm A Baller

Chapter 160: Tasteful

“Boss, you’re here?”

In front of his own sister, Song Chen was a little embarrassed to call Wang Yan brother. No matter what, he was older than Wang Yan by a few months.

However, after hearing the word “Boss,” Song Xi felt very uncomfortable.

Sigh, the little brother that I have worked so hard to raise now turned around and went to play with another child. What a melancholy…

Alright, it’s a good thing Wang Yan is just his buddie and not his girlfriend. Otherwise, she’d feel even worse.

While Song Xi was thinking, Wang Yan chatted with Song Chen. Then, he turned around and smiled at her. “Hello, Sister Song.”

“Hello.” Song Xi nodded politely.

“Originally, I just wanted little… Little Chen to ask you where to buy the stuff. I didn’t expect him to make you come out… I’m sorry to troubled you.”

“It’s nothing. In any case, I wanted to buy new bedsheets and covers for Little Chen anyway.”

Song Xi tilted her head slightly as she spoke. Her gaze was fixated on the cloth shop next door, unwilling to meet Wang Yan’s gaze.

There was no lack of suitors for the ladies of Hunan University, especially this beauty of the Information School.

Many of her suitors came from rich families. In terms of academic performance and intelligence, they were far superior to the scumbags from the Normal University. As a result, her attitude toward boys was completely different from those horny senior students from Wangyan’s school.

But Wang Yan only glanced at the stalls that only served students and found the products were of average quality. He shook his head.

“Sister Song, do you know of a slightly better bedding store nearby?”

“Er… I don’t know. I feel that they are all the same…”

Song Xi’s tone indicated that she didn’t really like unnecessary luxuries.

Wang Yan understood what she meant. He smiled and did not say anything. He turned around to chat with the saleswoman at the stall.

“Ma’am, how much are you selling these towels for?”

“Ten yuan for three. They’re of good quality, boy.”

“Which’s the best kind?”

“Over there. The supermarkets sell them for twenty-two yuan. I’ll only sell them for fifteen yuan each. Just look at its fabric!”

“I’ll buy six, but you have to tell me something… Is there a place nearby that sells real silk quilts and high-end four-piece bedding sets?”

“Real silk… Yuelu doesn’t have such things, so you have to go to Gaoqiao to find it. Come, let me draw you a map!”

The woman was very enthusiastic, using her clumsy drawing skills and hand gestures to show Wang Yan the places that might sell the things he wanted.

“Thank you.”

Wang Yan paid her with satisfaction. He bought two towels of three colors so each person in the dormitory would have one.

He casually handed the shopping bag to Song Chen and asked Song Xi, “Sister Song, are you coming with us? Do you want me to send you back to school first?”

Song Chen looked at his elder sister pleadingly, begging silently for her company.

Song Xi sighed in exasperation. She felt that her little brother was really useless. Then, she nodded happily.

Alright, you can always count on me!

“I don’t need to go back now. There’s nothing to do on Sunday anyway. I’ll accompany you guys to take a look.”

They hailed a cab and Wang Yan sat in the front passenger seat while the siblings sat in the back.

Song Chen felt that he wasn’t doing well and was thus a little depressed. He didn’t say much, so Song Xi had no choice but to chat with Wang Yan.

“Little Yan, are you familiar with beddings?”

Wang Yan shook his head and said honestly, “I don’t.”

“Then you…” Song Xi was shocked. “There are a lot of fake silk in the market…”

“It’s okay, I’ll ask someone.”

Wang Yan answered casually and immediately called Dave.

On the day of the Flower Sea, Wang Yan changed all the bedding in the suite. Dave was the one who had handled it for him.

Moreover, Dave had taught him about real silk quilts, so it was definitely right to ask him about bedding.

According to the rules, Dave could only use his personal phone in the lounge during working hours. After all, if the personal butler’s phone suddenly rang while he was serving customers, it would be awkward.

However, Wang Yan was lucky. Dave answered the call directly, and it was obvious that he hadn’t got a new customer yet.

“Young Master Wang? Hello.”

Wang Yan was no longer a hotel guest, so Dave changed the way he addressed him. He was simply a guy who paid attention to every detail.

Wang Yan did not exchange pleasantries and went to the point directly.

“I’m in Star City, and I’m planning to buy two sets of bedding. Unfortunately, Star City doesn’t have your hotel. I can’t find a thoughtful adviser, so I’ll have to trouble you again. Are you familiar with real silk quilts, four-piece bedding set, and the like?”

Dave made a joke, with a very cold humor.

“In Star City, our group may not have any business plans in the short term. I can only personally recommend Junyue or Kempinski. Relatively speaking, their services can keep up with their price.

“In addition, Xinhua Union and Four Seasons seem to have key projects in development in our city. You can keep an eye on them in the future.

“Lastly, I have some experience with quilts and the like. I think I’ll write you something about it and send it to you via wechat later, okay?”

Dave was really amazing. He was always able to satisfy people’s needs

Wang Yan smiled and replied, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

“It’s no trouble. Goodbye.”

Not long after hanging up the phone, various explanations were sent to Wang Yan via wechat. Wang Yan read them carefully and gained a deeper understanding of the bedding.

When he got off of the cab at Gaoqiao market, Wang Yan did not go straight to the few big brand bedding stores. Instead, he went into a tailor shop.

Song Xi asked in puzzlement, “Didn’t you want to buy good ones? I saw Luo Lai and Mengjie’s stores at the entrance… Mengjie seems to be Star City’s local brand, and many people use its bedding.”

Having someone to chat made the chore of looking for bedding less boring.

Wang Yan told her the professional opinions in the industry that he had just learnt from Dave.

“The best quality of mulberry silk in the country is basically from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially with Suzhou as the leader.

“But real silk (mulberry silk) is a very delicate material. The quality of things produced by machines is actually very ordinary.

“Just ignore the big brands’ bragging. In fact, they are only strong in making high-density pure cotton fabric used for the cover. The best filling material they use is Ordos Cashmere, which is far inferior to the silk filling. The so-called silk quilt they make is actually made with tussah silk which is quite inferior in quality.

“Every year during the silk harvest season, countless craftsmen from all over the country go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to personally choose cooked silk and bring it back to make handmade quilts.

“Among them, the quilts made by the best tailors are far better than those made on the assembly lines of the big brands.

“But their prices are usually only one-fifth to one-third of the prices of the big brands.

“Therefore, those who know how to choose quilts will either choose special down or hand-made real silk as the filling and high-density cotton as the cover. Such quilts are extremely light and breathable.”

Wang Yan said the words in a speed that was neither fast nor slow. As Song Xi listened, she felt a yearning welling up in her heart.

At first, she had thought that it was an unnecessary luxury, but now, her heart suddenly quivered in yearning.

Was there really unnecessary?

Would the chemical fiber filling and real silk really feel the same?

“You’re really fastidious…”

She sighed sincerely.

But Wang Yan shook his head and smiled. “Me? I’m still far from that. I’m just pursuing a little fresh experience within my capabilities.”

With his faint smile, he looked extremely cool.
