Chapter 12
Patek Philippe Duke Watch (2)
The couple looked a little awkward.
The man was even stunned.
Was this answer really coming from a child?
He was speechless.
The woman walked up to the man and scolded him softly. “What are you doing? Are you embarra.s.sing me? I already said that I wanted to give it to the little kid.”
Besides, this bit of money was not much. Why was he so calculative?
What was wrong with spending some money on such a cute child!
The man coughed awkwardly. He was probably afraid that his wife would be angry, so he quickly explained, “Didn’t I mean well? I wanted to nurture the correct values of a child, but listen to what he just said. He actually found the watches here too cheap. I wonder how his parents educated their children to instill such thoughts.”
The shop owner was a stylish man with a beard. He chuckled and teased, “This child has good taste. Tell me, what kind of watch do you like?”
Ye Xuan didn’t say anything, feeling a little troubled.
All these adults liked to ask him questions. Wasn’t he just a little good-looking? Was there a need to be like this?
Meanwhile, the man thought about it and firmly believed that the reason why Ye Xuan had such thoughts was due to the influence of his father’s values.
“Little fellow, don’t be so vain at such a young age! You should study hard at your age so that you can develop well in the future. When the time comes, you can spend your own money to buy anything you want.” The man persuaded Ye Xuan earnestly.
The stylish man nodded in agreement at the side.
Still, business had to be done.
He pretended to look at the three of them in surprise. “Look at this handsome man and beautiful woman with such a cute child. I thought you were a family of three!”
The couple knew that the shop owner was complimenting them, but they still laughed happily.
The man was overjoyed. He took out his business card and handed it to the shop owner.
The shop owner accepted it with a smile. Looking at the shiny watch on the man’s wrist, he asked, “President Chen, is this the watch that you just obtained from Patek Philippe?”
A trace of pride flashed across President Chen’s eyes, but he still pretended to be calm and said, “Yes, I was just strolling around. When I saw a platinum model, I simply bought it. Anyway, it’s not worth much. It’s just more than 500,000 yuan.”
The shop owner’s expression froze.
He kept cursing in his heart.
If he really felt that it wasn’t worth much, why would he mention the price?
Furthermore, he was just strolling around.
The shop owner felt that President Chen was just short of cutting off his sleeves and revealing his big watch!
Although he was cursing in his heart, the shop owner could not help but praise him. “You’re living the life of a rich person. You’re not like us. We’re so close, yet we don’t even have the courage to go in and take a look.”
President Chen touched his watch and tilted his head to look at Ye Xuan. He said, “In that case, you have to learn from this little kid. He just swore that he would go to Patek Philippe to buy a watch!”
However, after thinking about it, it was inappropriate for an adult like him to tease a child. He changed the topic. “I have no choice. Life is hard. Every day, I see friends and clients who are either rich or n.o.ble. I have to make up for it.”
The shop owner simply wanted to curse.
Was this Chen guy here to make his presence known?
What did he mean by “life is hard”?
Wasn’t he just trying to show off how powerful the people around him were?
He even said that his friends and clients were either rich or n.o.ble. He definitely had rich friends!
The shop owner opened his shop next to Patek Philippe, but had he ever bragged?
President Chen felt that his vanity was satisfied. He walked towards Ye Xuan in satisfaction and said earnestly, “Kid, don’t get involved in such a bad atmosphere. I am forced by life and have to do business! If you want a watch, I can help you buy a Little Genius phone watch.”
It was only worth one or two thousand yuan. It was just like sprinkling water. He was in a good mood today!
When the shop owner heard that, he immediately took out the latest Little Genius watch and placed it on the table, gesturing for Ye Xuan to try it on.
“Little kid, don’t you like this style?” The round-faced sales lady was worried about Yexuan. She walked into the shop and happened to see the Little Genius watch on the counter.
She had heard of this brand before. It could be used for phone calls and could also provide a location service. It was very suitable for children.
The round-faced sales lady did not like to lecture people like President Chen. After thinking for a moment, she said to Ye Xuan softly, “If you really like Patek Philippe, I’ll buy it when you grow up, okay?”
Ye Xuan really liked this sales lady. However, it was a pity that she was the same as the others and didn’t believe in her ability.
At this moment, a tall woman hurried past the shop.
When the round-faced sales lady saw this, she hurriedly stopped her and asked, “Manager, didn’t you go to a meeting? Why did you rush back?”
“Yes, a person called Mr. Ye bought the Duke watch yesterday and made an appointment to pick it up today. I just transferred it over from the headquarters warehouse,” explained the manager patiently. “Why are you here? Come back with me quickly. The entire shop has to be prepared.”
Everyone who heard this was shocked.
President Chen’s eyes widened. He seemed to be in disbelief. He stammered, “Manager, is the Duke watch you mentioned the watch that is worth more than 20 million yuan on the official website?”
The Duke wrist.w.a.tch was famous not only because it was sold as a limited item, but also because it had a unique design not found anywhere else in the world.
The inner core of the dial followed Patek Philippe’s usual high-quality standards. The most precious point was that the Duke wrist.w.a.tch was covered in colorful diamonds of various colors.
Colored diamonds were rare to begin with. Coupled with the fact that Patek Philippe’s selection standards were very high, the colored diamonds that could be used in the Patek Philippe watch were all of relatively high quality.
It was also because of this exquisite and high-end design that this Duke wrist.w.a.tch was called the Rainbow Disc by fans.
Due to the scarcity of materials, only 11 pieces were released worldwide.
The owner of each Rainbow Disc was an extremely famous figure in the world.
As President Chen thought about it, his eyes turned red.
It was every man’s dream to own such a watch.
It was similar to a more high-end ident.i.ty card. Although it could not give anyone information about one’s ident.i.ty, anyone who saw the watch could confirm one thing, that the owner of the watch was n.o.ble enough.
Think about it. Just by accidentally revealing your watch, one could be respected by tens of thousands of people. That feeling must be awesome, okay?
At the thought of this, President Chen raised his wrist and looked at the new watch he had just bought. In an instant, he felt that it did not look good.
This was a wrist.w.a.tch that cost more than 500,000 yuan. Its value could only be reflected when presented to people who knew what was good.
The more President Chen thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
Comparisons were odious.
They were all humans, so why should he wear such an expensive watch on his wrist?
It was simply too infuriating.
