Chapter 340: Poor Cars, Rich Watches
In just two minutes, Chu Tian stood in a beautifully decorated small secret room, unable to contain his smile. Although the room was not spacious, the decoration was exquisite. A compact massage bed and a big bathtub were carefully placed beside each other. In addition, there was a cabinet on the wall, which contained a line of disposable towels.
âSister.â Chu Tian smiled, âYou installed a bathroom for me.â
Li Sisi giggled and said, âWell, why not. Itâs great that I can take a bath and lie down to rest.â
âThatâs good.â Chu Tian smiled, âBut isnât this intention too obvious?â
âYou still care about this?â Li Sisi smiled and said, âThere is such a small secret room in the office, and even a fool knows what this place is used for. Do you think that if you donât pretend like this, the intention will not be obvious?â
Chu Tian chuckled and said, âOh, that bastard Liu Youde insisted on making such a design to ruin my image as a gentleman.â
Liu Youde was the former owner of this office building, and Chu Tian bought it from him.
âYou have the nerve to talk about others.â Li Sisi kicked Chu Tian with a smile and said, âYou didnât decide to buy it after you saw the design?â
Chu Tian chuckled and said, âSister, tell me, do I want to experience this massage table now?â
âTsk, donât make trouble.â Li Sisi ran out of the secret room with a smile and said, âI have something to talk to you about.â
âWhatâs the matter?â
Chu Tian came out of the secret room and then closed the secret room door smoothly.
âToday, you go to the magic capital with me.â Li Sisi said.
âGo to the Demonâs City?â Chu Tian frowned slightly and said, âSister, why are you going to the Demonâs City?â
Li Sisi smiled, put the bag on the desk, then took out her mobile phone and said, âYou donât know. Tomorrow is your sister Xiaâs birthday.â
Umm? Tomorrow was Xia Moâs birthday.
When he heard Li Sisi say that, Chu Tian was stunned. He quickly patted his forehead and said, âDamn it, itâs sister Xiaâs birthday tomorrow? I forgot. Why didnât Sister Xia say anything?â
âHow do you say that?â Li Sisi said, âIsnât it the same as asking for a gift?â
âActually, big baby and Niannian already knew about it. Theyâve been secretly preparing gifts. I knew that you wouldnât remember such things. So, Iâll remember it for you. Here, lookâŠâ
While speaking, Li Sisi handed the phone to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian took a look at it. It was a watch with a gold case and perpetual calendar, month, and timing functions.
Compared with todayâs multi-functional, multi-regional timekeeping watches, it was not simple.
Li Sisi said: âYour sister Xia wears a watch. Do you know that?â
âOh, I know about that,â Chu Tian said. âThe watch sister Xia is wearing now was left by her mother. Itâs not a good brand. Itâs only about 2,000 dollars, but itâs very memorable to her.â
âThis is the gift I picked for Xia Mo.â Li Sisi said with a smile, âThe watch Xia Mo is wearing now is of great commemorative significance to her, so I plan to let her replace it with this one. frŃeÏebÉłovel.com

Chu Tian nodded, looked at the watch on the phone, and said, âSend me a watch? But sister, this watch looks a bit substandard.â
âItâs not up to par yet.â Li Sisi stated, âThis is the Patek Philippe ref. 1527 perpetual calendar rose gold watch.â
âThis watch was made in 1943. During World War II, it had an 18-carat gold case and a 23-stone bezel. It is the earliest Patek Philippe & Co. calendar, chronograph, and lunar phase. It is the only watch in the world. It has been a collectorâs item since its debut and only appears at auction.â
âIts last auction was ten years ago, at Christieâs auction in 2010. The transaction price at that time was 5.63 million dollars, equivalent to 40 million in our countryâs currency.â
âThis watch is almost as good as my Rapha 20.â
âIâll go!â Chu Tian couldnât help being a little surprised and said, âIt was auctioned ten years ago, and it was only 40 million?â
âYeah.â Li Sisi said, âWhy donât you say that the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, and the poor play with computers at home? Think about it. Just wear a Rapha 20 in your hand. What is the concept?â
âThis watch is the second most expensive since the auction, and the number one is a super complicated pocket watch called Henry Graves Jr. It was auctioned at Sothebyâs auction house in 2014. It is equivalent to 150 million in our countryâs currency. Itâs also Patek Philippe.â
âHowever, this is a pocket watch, and I donât know who owns it. However, this Patek Philippe ref. 1527 perpetual calendar chronograph watch was auctioned today at Christieâs auction house in Shanghai. How much? I canât be sure.â
Christieâs auction house in Shanghai?
The starting price was 40 million.
Today?
Chu Tian nodded slowly and said with a smile: âIf you say so, this watch is pretty good, sister. Why didnât you say it earlier? It wonât miss the auction, right?â
âI canât,â Li Sisi laughed, âThe auction doesnât start until 7 pm. Thereâs a flight to the sorcery capital at noon and a flight at 4:30 pm. However, Iâm worried that weâll miss the time, so weâd better take the noon flight.â
