"Hello, Mr. Tang. This is the Private Banking Hotline Service Department. I'm calling you back regarding your inquiry from an hour ago."
As Tang Yuan answered the call, a gentle and pleasant female voice came through.
Tang Yuan stopped, standing by the window. "Have you found the place I was looking for?"
"Mr. Tang, according to your request, we have contacted a private collection hall that specializes in collecting, appraising, and selling seals. If you wish to collect seals, this place might have what you are looking for."
"If you don't find a seal you like here, in 10 days, China Guardian will hold a special auction featuring seals in Yanjing. You can pay attention to it then."
The other party spoke at a moderate pace, not only addressing Tang Yuan's needs but also providing him with an alternative.
"Okay."
"I understand."
"Please send the address of this private collection hall to my phone via text message later. If possible, please help me contact them and schedule an appointment for me."
China Merchants Bank's efficiency greatly satisfied Tang Yuan. After the freshman ceremony ended in the morning, Tang Yuan immediately called China Merchants Bank's specialist service hotline. He didn't expect them to provide a solution in just over an hour.
"Mr. Tang, what time would you like to schedule?" The gentle and pleasant female voice came through the phone again.
Tang Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, "Is four o'clock this afternoon possible? If not today, then please book it for tomorrow."
"Okay, after we contact the private collection hall, we will send the appointment time along with the address to your phone via text message. Is there anything else we can help you with?"
Facing the specialist's inquiry, Tang Yuan thought for a moment and then spoke again, "Please help me find a reliable, high-end interior design company in Shanghai that specializes in apartment design. Call me back once you find one."
The renovation market, no matter where, is always a mixed bag of good and bad, especially in a super-first-tier city like Shanghai. If Tang Yuan were to search himself, it would be time-consuming and laborious, not to mention very easy to fall into traps. So, he simply threw this problem back to China Merchants Bank, letting them help him filter.
Although the renovation company chosen by China Merchants Bank may not necessarily be reliable, it is certainly much better than Tang Yuan searching for a needle in a haystack, and the chances of it being reliable are very high.
"Okay."
"I have recorded your request. We will call you back once we have selected a suitable renovation company for you."
The private banking phone specialist agreed very readily, without the slightest hesitation throughout the entire process. After the main business was concluded, Tang Yuan hung up the phone.
...
After Tang Yuan returned to the dormitory, he went back to his bedroom and dozed off for a while, then got out of bed again, because there was less than 15 minutes left until the time he had agreed upon with Wen Muxue yesterday.
"This is incredible..."
"People in this world, their wardrobes don't even have a single piece of Chinese-style clothing."
Tang Yuan opened his wardrobe, flipped through all of his original body's clothes, and couldn't help but shake his head, letting out a sigh.
On Blue Star, let alone the wardrobes of Chinese people, even foreigners' wardrobes would definitely contain Chinese-style clothing.
Whether in China or abroad, people wearing Chinese clothing were ubiquitous, and when attending certain celebrations or banquets, everyone would wear Chinese formal attire.
The fact that there wasn't a single piece of Chinese-style clothing in the entire wardrobe was simply unbearable for Tang Yuan.
"Magnificent China, with a five-thousand-year heritage."
"It's truly regrettable that contemporary young people are proud to wear brands like LV, CHANEL, and Burberry from abroad."
Tang Yuan sighed, but there was nothing he could do as the current trend in the country was like this. He could only choose two of his preferred outfits from the existing clothes of his original body and secretly decided that when he had time in a couple of days, he would definitely address the clothing issue.
After changing his clothes, Tang Yuan picked up his phone and car keys, greeted Guan Yuntao, and then left the dormitory, walking unhurriedly towards the college parking lot.
...
The scorching sun blazed, and the sky was cloudless.
Waves of heat ravaged the earth. The few single dogs who were quite lively at the school gate were now listless, panting with their tongues hanging out on the ground.
When Tang Yuan arrived at the parking lot, he saw that Wen Muxue had already arrived.
Wen Muxue stood under the shade of a tree with a parasol. Compared to yesterday's sporty style, today she was dressed in a casual style. Wen Muxue knew very well where her advantages lay; she chose a black vest today, paired with black denim shorts with a small leather belt, and canvas shoes on her feet.
Her fair, lotus-like arms and long, beautiful legs were completely exposed. Her slightly curly long hair cascaded down both shoulders. Her face had delicate yet un-seductive makeup. Simply standing there, she was an extremely beautiful sight.
"Senior, over here!"
Just as Tang Yuan saw Wen Muxue, Wen Muxue also saw Tang Yuan. She waved and called out to Tang Yuan, her smile exceptionally bright, like melting ice.
Tang Yuan nodded slightly, his pace still unhurried. He came to her side and casually said, "You came quite early."
"Of course!"
"What if I came late, made you angry, and then you wouldn't take pictures for me?"
Wen Muxue responded with a smile, her voice faintly carrying a hint of coquetry.
"Here."
"These are the keys to five cars. Hurry up, I'm only giving you one hour."
Tang Yuan was unmoved. He pulled the keys from his pocket, his casual tone carrying an undeniable authority.
"Hmm..."
"Senior, can you teach me?"
"How do I start the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta?"
Wen Muxue looked at Tang Yuan, speaking softly.
Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue with a hint of helplessness. "Get in the car with me, and I'll teach you once."
"Hehe..."
"Thank you, Senior!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Muxue immediately followed Tang Yuan, trotting towards the nearest white FerrariLaFerrari Aperta.
Under the scorching sun, the car's interior was extremely hot. After Tang Yuan opened the butterfly doors of the white Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, he did not immediately sit inside but stood outside, allowing the air inside the car to circulate.
During this time, Tang Yuan briefly introduced the basic operation methods of the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta to Wen Muxue. After the temperature inside the car cooled down, they both got into the car.
As the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta's butterfly doors closed, the outside noise was immediately isolated. At the same time, Wen Muxue's pleasant perfume scent filled the entire car, so fragrant that Tang Yuansubconsciously adjusted his posture, sitting up straighter.
It must be said that Wen Muxue was a very clever girl.
While Tang Yuan was explaining, she consistently maintained a posture with her left hand propping up her chin, her beautiful eyes fixed on Tang Yuan, which for men, was extremely lethal.
Seeing Wen Muxue in this manner, Tang Yuancouldn't help but recall a classic "tea-identifying" rule, which perfectly matched the current Wen Muxue.
What is 'green tea'?
That is, wearing the least amount of clothes, making the purest expression, and performing the most seductive actions!
As long as these three points are met, she's basically 'green tea' without a doubt.
However, this kind of little trick was clearly useless for a master of "tea-identifying" like Tang Yuan. At most, it elicited a slight nod of respect.
"Did you learn it?"
After a simple lesson, Tang Yuan glanced at Wen Muxue and asked her.
Wen Muxue nodded, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a smile. "Senior, with you being such an understanding guy, have many girls sat in your passenger seat?"
"Quite a few, actually."
Tang Yuan was quite candid. After answering, he turned to look at Wen Muxue, a slight curve forming on his lips, then retorted, "What about you? As beautiful as you are, how many boys' passenger seats have you sat in?"
In an instant...
The smile on Wen Muxue's face froze slightly.
