As the few classmates kept wanting to see the Patek Philippe watch, Li Du took off his watch and handed it over to Zhou Ji .
Zhou Ji smiled while nodding his head at him and said, "Actually, I'm also not very familiar with this watch . If I misjudge anything later, please be more understanding . "
Li Du smiled . "It's just a watch, there is no right or wrong judgment . "
Zhou Ji raised the watch and flipped it over before looking at it . After studying it for a while, he frowned .
Du Hang asked, "Teacher Zhou, is there any problem with the watch?"
Zhou Ji shook his head and said nothing . After taking out his cellphone to look up some information, he asked, "Is it okay if I take a picture? I will send it to an elder for him to take a look . Truth be told, I am a little uncertain about this watch . "
Li Du nodded . "Anything . "
"Uncertain if it's genuine or fake?" Du Hang asked out of concern . "Du Zi, were you scammed?"
Zhou Ji continued shaking his head and said, "No, the watch is genuine . I'm just uncertain if it is the legendary watch, Trossi Leggenda?"
His question made Li Du more or less admire him . He had proven himself to be the son of a well-known family that made watches . For him to actually be able to recognize the model of the watch meant he had a good eye for watches .
Even though Li Du had made friends with quite a number of rich people in America, those who could recognize the model of the watch were few .
Faced with an inquiry from Zhou Ji, Li Du replied, "Yes, Trossi Leggenda . I obtained this watch by chance . I didn't expect you to recognize it . "
Zhou Ji, who was taking a picture, suddenly raised his head and looked with astonishment at Li Du . "This . . . this . . . this is really Trossi Leggenda? My goodness, you aren't joking, right?"
Li Du smiled . "It's just a second-hand watch, nothing much to joke about . This is Trossi Leggenda . Are you very shocked to see me wearing it?"
Zhou Ji looked shocked . "Sorry, sorry, friend, I was not looking down on you . But, but, but . . . " He said "but" three times in a row before finally forcing a smile . "But truth be told, I am indeed very astonished . So this watch was auctioned off to you, an elder of yours, or your friend?"
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the rest, who were chit-chatting, became curious . Du Zheng Nan asked, "What's up with this watch? Is it very valuable?"
When Zhou Ji was about to reply to him, Li Du beat him to it . "It's not, it's because it has a story . As you guys also know, Europeans love things that are like this . When they make a watch or jewelry, they give it a story . "
He could tell that Zhou Ji knew the value of the watch . If Zhou Ji was to reveal that the watch was worth tens of millions of USD, today's class reunion would not be able to go on .
Li Du's high school classmates were all rather honest and most of them had just started working at this point in time . As everyone's status and wealth were similar, the reunion was very placid and was just old classmates talking about old times and their feelings .
Unlike the class reunions in television dramas and movies, this reunion had no conflict and no one showing something off . They were just happily having a harmonious meal and looking back on their high school life .
If the value of Trossi Leggenda was revealed, the nature of today's reunion would change .
Li Du did not want to see that happen . As Zhou Ji was able to infer his intention from his words, he cooperated with him and smiled . "Yes, yes, yes, this watch has a story . Haha, here you go . "
Since he knew the value of Trossi Leggenda, he was no longer able to treat Li Du the same way he treated ordinary people . He promptly used honorifics and both his hands when handing over the watch .
A group of people chased after Zhou Ji and Li Du to ask what the story was about . At this moment, the door of the private room opened once more before someone hurriedly came in and said, "Sorry, sorry, old classmates . I'm late . "
The person who came in was a tall and skinny youngster . He looked a little old-fashioned with a thick pair of glasses and an army-green cotton coat .
Du Zheng Nan grabbed him and smiled . "Yao Zhi Bo, why are you wearing this coat? Are you going for a retro look?"
Yao Zhi Bo forced a smile while shaking his head . "Forgive me, class leader . I rode a motorcycle over . As it was too cold, I had no choice but to wear this coat . "
Geng Chang Sheng said, "Why are you still driving a motorcycle? Is it so that you could avoid drinking? Don't even think about it, I will hail a taxi to bring you home later . You must drink . Everyone must drink . "
Yao Zhi Bo was still forcing a smile . "If that's the case, you will have to spend money . I have moved to Cang Ma town . As it is 40 plus kilometers away, taking a taxi would require quite a bit of money . "
After hearing his words, Geng Chang Sheng was stunned and said, "Why did you move to—"
Before he finished speaking, Du Hang interrupted him . "Hai, are you guys checking home addresses? Come, come, come, Old Yao, sit, sit . With your arrival, almost everyone is here . Nonetheless, you must be punished for coming late . You go out and tell the waiter to prepare to serve the dishes . "
Yao Zhi Bo was very well tempered . He took off his coat, turned around, and walked out the door .
After waiting for him to leave, Du Hang said, "You guys all didn't know? Old Yao's family had quite a few problems the last few years . His parents became pretty ill and his house in the county town has already been sold . Let's not talk about him . Hai . "
"Something like this happened?" Li Du asked in surprise .
Du Hang rolled his eyes . "You didn't know, right? Who asked you to always be away from the group? Everyone in our group knows about this . Later, when we split the bill, I will pay for Old Yao's share . "
Li Du smiled . "No need to split the bill . My treat . Seeing how I've left our group for so long, I have to receive some punishment . "
The others politely thanked him . Zhou JI said, "Xue Ning and I will treat . After all, since she has practically brought an outsider over, let us have something to show for it . "
When Yao Zhi Bo returned, everyone stopped arguing . However, since there was suddenly nothing to talk about, the atmosphere quickly became a little awkward .
Furthermore, Yao Zhi Bo was sensitive enough to realize that the change in the atmosphere was because of him . He smiled . "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with me?"
"No," Du Hang replied . "For everyone, they spoke about their current situation when they arrived . What have you been up to lately? How are you planning to develop it?"
Speaking of this, Yao Zhi Bo knitted his eyebrows and sighed . "This year, I have resigned and moved back home . I am thinking of growing crops in a greenhouse but I am lacking in funds . Are any of our classmates working in a bank? I would like to seek advice on some matters . "
The group of people looked at each other and were at a loss of what to do . They were unable to provide any assistance in this regard .
The atmosphere became a little awkward again . As Du Hang's first job was in sales, he was skilled at controlling the atmosphere . He targeted Li Du and asked, "Du Zi, what are you doing in America? Not just studying, right? I have heard from your parents that you are currently doing very well . "
"Not just ordinarily well," Geng Chang Sheng said . "Du Zi gave his family a few million last year, right?"
Li Du smiled . "Nonsense, you guys are over exaggerating—"
"What exactly are you doing?" A few classmates probed .
Li Du replied honestly, "Mainly doing work such as storage unit auctions and trading old goods . In slightly more pleasant words, it's buying antiques for a bargain . In truth, it's picking up trash . "
After hearing his words, everyone became interested and someone took out a vibrant jade green snuff bottle . "Du Zi, help me take a look at this item . What a coincidence . I just found it in my old house and was prepared to search for an antique shop to have them take a look . "
As the few classmates kept wanting to see the Patek Philippe watch, Li Du took off his watch and handed it over to Zhou Ji . Zhou Ji smiled while nodding his head at him and said, Actually, I 39 m also not very familiar with this watch . If I misjudge anything later, please be more understanding . Li Du smiled .
