Chapter 146 Why did I end up wearing a fake watch?
After more than six hours and two breaks, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, the group of five finally reached the summit.
At the top, there is an observation deck with a stunning view, from which you can overlook all the other mountains.
The surrounding mountains and the Yangtze River are at your feet.
Gao Wenwen was the most excited. It was her first time to climb Taozi Mountain and she didn't expect that she would succeed.
Zheng Yi said: "If you have any wishes, you can shout them out to the mountain. I heard it works very well."
"Then I'll go first."
Gao Wenwen leaned on the guardrail and shouted impatiently: "I want to find a super, super handsome boyfriend."
"Didn't you say you didn't want to fall in love now?"
Lin Xi teased, "What? Did you suddenly figure it out?"
"Yeah, I figured it out."
Gao Wenwen said: "I didn't want to date before because the guys who were after me were too ugly. I'm a face person. It doesn't matter if he's rich or not. The most important thing is that he has to be handsome."
"Your conditions are just right for us, Xu Yun."
Zhu Jingheng said: "How about you and Xu Yun get together as a couple, so that the good things won't go to outsiders."
What this means is that Xu Yunshuai is good, but poor.
"Okay, I have no problem with that."
Gao Wenwen looked at Xu Yun and asked half-jokingly, "The key is whether Xu Yun is willing."
It looked like a joke, but she actually meant it.
She had liked Xu Yun since high school because he was handsome and a nice person.
But because the other person had always had a crush on her best friend, she didn't say it.
When we met again today, Xu Yun was still as handsome as ever, even more charming.
Although she looks a bit miserable at the moment, she is unemployed and her family is not well off, but she doesn't care.
She now has a garage and a carport, so as long as the other party is not a lazy person, it will be fine.
"I am willing, but I don't meet your requirements."
Xu Yun smiled and replied: "I am very handsome, but I am not poor at all now."
Everyone smiled when they heard this.
Obviously no one believed what he said and thought he was joking.
Gao Wenwen smiled and asked, "Really? Then tell me, how much money do you have?"
"Not much, about 100 million at the moment." Xu Yun said seriously.
"Hahaha……"
Zhu Jingheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Xu Yun, I didn't realize you're quite humorous."
"You're really exaggerating a bit."
Zheng Yi also laughed and said, "Remember to say a smaller amount next time, one million."
"You all don't believe me?"
"Do not believe."
Xu Yun sighed in his heart. What's wrong with society now? No one believes the truth.
Do you have to lie and say that you only have 10 in savings before people will believe you?
“They don’t believe it, but I do.”
Gao Wenwen suddenly said, "Xu Yun, I believe you have 100 million!"
"Uh, why do you believe it?"
"Because handsome people always say what they say is right."
Xu Yun: “…”
"I'm done shouting, now it's your turn."
Gao Wenwen said to Lin Xi, "Lin Xi, you go and call."
"it is good."
Lin Xi walked to the guardrail, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted loudly: "I wish to win the heart of one person, and we will be together till we grow old together."
"I hope to find a girl like Lin Xi to be my wife." Zhu Jingheng shouted loudly.
"Hey, squad leader, you are so cheesy."
Gao Wenwen teased, "Why don't you just confess to Lin Xi today? Maybe our beautiful Lin will agree if she's happy."
"really?"
These words made Zhu Jingheng feel a little moved.
When he was hesitating whether to do it, Lin Xi said angrily: "Gao Wenwen, we are here to climb the mountain today, don't make trouble."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jingheng had no choice but to give up and look for another opportunity.
Zheng Yi also came to the guardrail.
"I hope I can become Director Zheng in five years!"
Gao Wenwen looked back at Xu Yun and said, "Xu Yun, you are the only one left now. Come on, tell me what you wish for."
"I'm tacky."
Everyone thought he was going to make a wish for wealth, but Xu Yun took a deep breath and shouted, "I hope my mother can be healthy and live a long life!"
"..." Everyone.
Everyone who made a wish just now subconsciously made it for themselves, except Xu Yun, who made a wish for his family.
Gao Wenwen stared at Xu Yun, and her eyes became more and more fond of him.
He is handsome and filial.
"What time is it?"
Lin Xi asked: "Should we go back now? Otherwise, it will be too late to go back."
"Four fifteen." Zhu Jingheng stretched out his wrist and deliberately showed his expensive watch in front of Lin Xi.
So as to show my strength.
And Lin Xi did notice it.
She smiled and said, "You changed your watch again? I think it looks better than the previous one."
"Oh, last time I was on a business trip, I came across this Patek Philippe by chance, and I thought it was nice, so I bought it."
Zhu Jingheng pretended to be casual and said, "It's a little more expensive than the previous Rolex, only about one million."
Sure enough, Lin Xi was slightly moved after hearing the price of the watch.
Zhu Jingheng was very satisfied when he saw this.
"You capitalist dogs should be hung on street lamps."
Zheng Yi couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Just buying a watch is like treating it as a house. Be careful, I hate the rich."
When Xu Yun heard this, he suddenly remembered the watch worth more than three million on his wrist and silently hid it in his sleeve.
I am a capitalist now, but not a loser. I am very conscientious. I pay the front desk clerk a salary of 30,000 yuan a month!
But Gao Wenwen suddenly said something shocking: "Squad leader, is your watch so expensive? But I just saw Xu Yun wearing a similar watch as you."
"..."Xu Yun.
Teacher Gao, I really admire you!
Does the monitor have a grudge against you? Why do you always use me to suppress the other party?
"is it?"
Zhu Jingheng looked at Xu Yun in surprise and asked, "Are you wearing a Patek Philippe too?"
"Uh, that seems to be the name."
Xu Yun said: "I also liked it at the time, so I bought it."
"How much is your watch?"
Gao Wenwen asked with a smile: "Isn't it also more than 100 million?"
"That's not it."
Xu Yun replied: "Probably a little over 300."
When these words came out, the situation became a little awkward.
Everyone immediately understood that the watch on Xu Yun's wrist was probably a fake.
But it is also reasonable.
They would be surprised if Xu Yun really wore a watch worth one million.
Especially Lin Xi, she actually had some expectations for Xu Yun just now.
It turns out that I was overthinking it.
I don’t know what I’m looking forward to.
"A watch is just a decoration."
After Zhu Jingheng finished pretending to be cool, he pretended to be a nice guy and said, "We don't need to care about the price. It doesn't matter if it's a high imitation. As long as we can tell the time, it's fine." The squad leader was quite good at comforting people.
Did I end up wearing a fake watch for no apparent reason?
Xu Yun took off his watch, handed it over, and asked modestly: "Squad leader, can you help me take a look at my watch? How did you identify it as a fake?"
"Okay, I'll tell you about it and popularize it."
Zhu Jingheng actually didn't quite understand, but now that Xu Yun had asked him, if he didn't say a few words, wouldn't it prove that he was incompetent?
So he took Xu Yun's watch, compared it with his own watch, and began to explain it to the others.
He said a lot of things, such as dial, hands, strap, and movement.
If I didn’t know, I would have thought he was a watch repairman.
Anyway, it was proved from all aspects that the "Patek Philippe" in Xu Yun's hand was fake.
The people nowadays are all watch idiots and can't understand at all. Except for Xu Yun, the others are all confused and feel it is powerful.
In fact, Xu Yun didn't understand it either, but he knew that his watch was real.
After all, if this watch worth more than three million yuan was fake, he would have his lawyer sue the store in Shanghai until it could not take care of itself!
But this also proves from the side that our class monitor doesn't understand watches at all, just like me.
The reason I buy a watch is so that I can show off in public!
After Zhu Jingheng had spread the knowledge about watches, Xu Yun also got his fake watch back.
He put it on again and said with a smile, "When I get back, I'll go find the store owner. How dare they sell me fake goods?"
"Forget it, don't go looking for them."
Zhu Jingheng said: "The cheapest Patek Philippe watch costs hundreds of thousands, so how can a watch that costs just over 300 be real?
Besides, you bought this watch for more than 300 yuan, so I don’t think it’s a loss.
Although it is fake, the workmanship and materials are not bad, and the texture feels good, not worse than watches worth thousands of dollars, you got a good deal."
"Xu Yun, I just happen to be missing a watch."
Zheng Yi said excitedly, "Please send me the website of this store. I want to buy one and wear it. It looks really good."
"Why, you want to wear a fake watch too? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"You don't understand. People like us are suitable for fake watches that are of good quality, good-looking, and not expensive."
Zheng Yi said: "If I really wear a real million-dollar watch and someone accidentally exposes it online, I will be finished. They will definitely call me a corrupt official."
"..."Xu Yun.
"Okay, let's go back, it's really late."
Zhu Jingheng said: "I booked a music room at the Royal Court Hotel tonight, where I can eat and sing at the same time."
You don't have to walk back anymore, there is a cable car.
However, you still have to walk some distance from the top of the mountain to the cable car station below.
After a while, everyone lined up and got on the cable car.
As luck would have it, the five of us were divided into three carriages.
Lin Xi and Zhu Jingheng were in the same compartment, Xu Yun and Gao Wenwen were in the same compartment, and Zheng Yi was in the same compartment with other tourists.
In Xu Yun's car, Gao Wenwen, who was a little worried, suddenly asked, "Is your watch fake?"
"Why do you say that?"
Xu Yun looked at her in surprise and said with a smile: "The squad leader has appraised it for me, do you also know about watches?"
"I don't understand."
"Then how can you say my watch is not fake?"
"Just now, I secretly used the identification software on my phone to scan your watch, and it showed that your watch is a Patek Philippe Starry Sky series, and it is a limited edition."
Gao Wenwen said: "On the official website, this watch is worth more than 300 million."
"..."Xu Yun.
"So the 300 or so you mentioned earlier didn't mean 300 or so yuan, but more than 300 million yuan, right?"
"Teacher Gao, you can do it."
Xu Yun smiled and said, "You discovered by accident that I am a rich man."
"So you admit it, huh?"
Hearing this, Gao Wenwen immediately smiled in surprise and said, "I knew I was right yesterday. That person was indeed you."
"What am I?"
"I also went to the iron flower show last night. I saw you, and you were accompanied by a group of beautiful women!"
Gao Wenwen said: "Especially after I heard the host say the name of the sponsor, I became more and more suspicious whether it was you."
"..."Xu Yun.
On the other side, Zheng Yi had already added the watch salesperson pushed to him by Xu Yun on his mobile phone.
After a brief chat, he said that he also wanted to buy a watch similar to Xu Yun's.
The salesperson sent him a link and said, "Mr. Zheng, this is our official website. You can click in and take a look. I will give you a detailed introduction to the series you like."
"it is good."
Zheng Yi clicked on it and was redirected to Patek Philippe’s official website.
"This website is really made, so realistic."
After reading it, Zheng Yi selected a screenshot and sent it to the other party.
"Mr. Zheng, the watch you chose is available in our store. It's a basic model. Come over sometime and I'll keep it for you."
"Just mail it to me, and I won't come to your store."
Zheng Yi asked, "How much is it? Tell me and I'll transfer it to you right now."
"Sir, this is a valuable item. For safety reasons, we don't mail it. You need to pick it up in the store."
"It's only a few hundred dollars, no matter how valuable it is, you can just mail it. At most you can buy transportation insurance."
"Sir, did you see it wrong?"
The salesperson on the other side replied in confusion: "The watch you chose is priced at 36.6 in our store."
"What, 36.6?"
"Yes sir."
"That's not right. Aren't all the watches in your store only a few hundred dollars?"
Zheng Yi asked in confusion: "My friend bought one from you for just over 300 yuan."
"Are you talking about Mr. Xu who recommended me to you?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Sir, you probably heard it wrong. He only bought a limited edition watch from the Starry Sky series in our store, and the price was over 300 million."
“!!!” Zheng Yi was a little confused.
What are you doing!
How come 300 yuan suddenly became more than 300 million?
Zhu Jingheng and Lin Xi were alone in a carriage, and they were very happy.
"Lin Xi, do you think Zheng Yi suddenly asked us out today just for climbing the mountain?"
"Probably not."
Lin Xi smiled and replied, "It's probably for Xu Yun."
"I think so too."
Zhu Jingheng analyzed: "Zheng Yi had the best relationship with Xu Yun in high school. Now that Xu Yun has been fired, he will definitely be the first person he wants to ask for help in finding a job.
But Zheng Yi is currently only a small section chief in the Tourism Bureau, so there is absolutely no good place to arrange him.
So they thought of us and formed this game. "
"I think so."
Lin Xi said: "Among us, you are the most capable. I guess Gao Wenwen and I are just here to make up the numbers. He probably wants to find you.
We are classmates after all, so if you can help, you should help him."
"I know, but I took the initiative to arrange a job for him, and you can see that he doesn't appreciate it."
"I guess we were too direct at the time, which made him feel a little embarrassed, which is why he acted like that."
Lin Xi said: "You can talk to him alone while we eat later."
"Lin Xi, I will only agree if you speak for him."
Zhu Jingheng smiled and said, "If it was someone else, given his attitude, I definitely wouldn't help him."
Lin Xi smiled and didn't respond.
Men will cherish what they can't get.
She would not easily agree to be Zhu Jingheng's girlfriend.
After all, the overall environment is not good now, and the income from engineering projects is not stable at all.
She recently heard that many bosses around her who used to work in engineering have suffered huge losses in recent years!
Still need to observe further!
PS: Happy July 1st! Please give me a monthly ticket.
