Cui Si hurriedly looked at Li Leyi and realized that he was not wearing the watch she had given him that afternoon. In a low voice, she asked, "Leyi, why aren't you wearing the watch I gave you today?"
Zhang Cuihua noticed Cui Si's behavior and sneered as she loudly said, "Oh, where did your arrogance go? You even proudly told us the model of the watch yesterday. Well, where is it, then? Could it be that it's broken again?"
Chen Lin chimed in. "Patek Philippe must not be that good of a brand then. How could it be so expensive but break so often? I don't think I will be buying one in the future."
Everyone in the restaurant looked up and turned to look at them, curious as to what was happening.
Chen Lin smiled even wider. The more people who overheard them, the happier he was.
"Babe, let's not buy Patek Philippe watches anymore. Aren't there too many malfunctions?"
A middle-aged man walked over with a face filled with anger as if someone had humiliated him.
"My good fellow, I am the CEO of Patek Philippe China, Lin Haiyang. May I know on what basis that you made such claims earlier?"
Chen Lin was stunned. He did not expect such a person to be here.
He immediately became bolder as he continued to speak loudly, "Hello, Chief Lin. Well, it's just that these two friends of mine had bought a Patek Philippe watch. But it's always broken. They said they had sent it to be fixed yesterday and claimed that they could get it back today. But now that we're having dinner together again, the watch seemed to be broken again."
Lin Haiyang's expression changed slightly. He turned to ask Li Leyi, "Sir, which shop did you buy it from? And where did you send it to be fixed? You can tell me. I will take care of it for you."
Zhang Cuihua sneered. This CEO seemed to be a little gullible.
These two people were obviously poor, so how could they afford one of his watches? If Chen Lin had not insisted on humiliating them, they would not even be worthy of eating with Chen Lin and Zhang Cuihua.
"Chief Lin, how could these two poor people afford it? They're just youngsters who don't know the ways of the world. Now that their true colors have been revealed, they don't dare to speak."
Cui Si slammed the table and was about to speak when Li Leyi put down his knife and fork. He stood up and looked at Chen Lin and Zhang Cuihua indifferently.
"Who said the watch is broken? Since Chief Lin is here, perhaps this is a great chance for him to tell us if this watch is real or a fake."
Cui Si was a little nervous. Each Patek Philippe watch had a unique number. She did not know if the watch given to her by the system had one. Otherwise, they would have been caught red-handed.
Chen Lin and Zhang Cuihua's pupils constricted. Could it be that they had really bought one?
Li Leyi took out the watch that Cui Si had given him that afternoon from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Lin Haiyang looked at the watch on the table and his expression instantly turned serious.
Even as the CEO of Patek Philippe China, he would not have been able to identify and confirm the genuineness of each model from his company. However, he was confident that he could at least do so with the top few.
The watch before him was definitely a Patek Philippe 5372 P-001, and it was worth more than three million yuan.
Lin Haiyang picked up the watch and carefully observed it. Then, he carefully put it back down and bowed to Li Leyi.
Chen Lin and Zhang Cuihua were dumbfounded. Why was Lin Haiyang bowing to this poor guy?
Even if Cui Si had become rich from selling that nickel, it was impossible for her to buy such a limited edition watch in such a short period of time.
When Lin Haiyang bowed to them, Cui Si could not believe her eyes. What watch was this to be able to make the CEO of Patek Philippe China so respectful to them? It seemed that the system was not too bad after all.
[Ding dong! Detected the host's sincerity through the host's praise.]
Chen Lin's face turned gloomy. He looked at Cui Si and Li Leyi a few times before turning to Lin Haiyang seriously.
"Chief Lin, as the CEO of Patek Philippe China, can't you tell that there's something amiss about this watch? I know my fair share about watches and from the looks of it, this watch does not seem to have been obtained through legal means. This woman had just earned three million from an auction two days ago. Even if she had struck gold, she wouldn't have been able to purchase a genuine model of this watch so quickly. You must report this to the police and conduct a proper investigation!"
Zhang Cuihua nodded in support of Chen Lin's words. This watch of Cui Si's was definitely suspicious.
"Chief Lin, I am Zhang Cuihua, the director of Flower Vine Group.
"I also think that they had obtained this watch rather suspiciously. It is very likely that they stole it, or that your shop assistant lent it to them privately.
"You'd better investigate this matter closely. This is related to Patek Philippe's reputation."
Lin Haiyang could not help but start to feel suspicious too when he heard Chen Lin and Zhang Cuihua's words. He had to admit, Cui Si and Li Leyi did not seem like wealthy people to him either.
If they hadn't appeared in this restaurant, they would just look like any ordinary person on the streets.
"Sir, Madam, can you produce the purchase receipt for this watch?"
