Ye Huan’s lips maintained a curve as he took the watch from Su Qingqing’s hand.
Then, right in front of Su Qingqing and Bai Youling, he took out his phone and entered the official website of Patek Philippe Group, then clicked into the authentication page.
Since the Patek Philippe Calatrava belongs to the rarities of rare watches, its authentication requires human verification.
Ye Huan shot a video, capturing every detail of the watch, clicked upload, and authenticated it.
What followed was just waiting.
"Still pretending, huh, what a joke!"
"I’d like to see how long you can keep up this act!"
Bai Youling crossed his arms with a disdainful look on his face.
Su Qingqing glanced at Ye Huan, her brows furrowed.
Bragging... this isn’t how you brag, is it?
A watch limited to one hundred worldwide, only available to truly prestigious figures.
Where does Ye Huan get the confidence to confirm this watch is genuine? How strange!
Could it be... this is the legendary way of keeping up appearances?
In less than a minute, the webpage turned red.
Seeing this big X, Bai Youling pointed at Ye Huan, holding his stomach in laughter, "Haha, you really kept up the pretense, didn’t you? Trying to claim a fake watch as genuine and even betting with me. You truly are a character, haha!"
His laughter grew louder, becoming more piercing.
A video call interface popped up.
On the page was a line of text:
"Mr. Ye, I heard your watch was uploaded to our group’s authentication section. I couldn’t hold back my excitement, so I popped up a video window for you. If it’s inconvenient, please hang up. I deeply apologize for this abrupt disturbance."
Reading this line, Ye Huan didn’t pay any attention to it. Accompanied by Bai Youling’s piercing mock laughter, he clicked to connect.
Once connected, a blond man appeared in the video window.
The blond man was the chairman of Patek Philippe Group—Holis.
"Hello, it’s an honor to see you again, Ye..." Holis’s expression was excited.
One must admit, he was very perceptive.
Just about to call Ye Huan by name, noticing a gesture from Ye Huan to stop, he immediately changed his words with excitement plastered all over his face, "Mr. Koumu, it’s an honor to see you again!"
"Hey, so, how did the authentication of my watch go?" Ye Huan casually waved his hand at his phone.
This conversation between the two made Bai Youling stop laughing.
This kid even started a call with a foreigner?
Bai Youling’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Seeing Su Qingqing staring at Ye Huan’s phone in disbelief, Bai Youling became even more confused and stared intently at Ye Huan’s phone.
Spotting the overly excited blond old man in the video call...
With a thud, Bai Youling collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with...
Filled with astonishment!
Isn’t this blond old man the chairman of one of the world’s two largest watchmakers, Patek Philippe Group—Holis?
Holis is... is a mega business tycoon with a net worth of billions of dollars, ranking among the world’s top billionaires!
Even the Bai Family has no way of connecting with him, not even a word!
Because in front of him, the Bai Family is just a small ant!
What’s happening now!?
The... the little gigolo Su Qingqing brought, is actually talking to him... talking to him?!
No, this... this must be a fake video!
No, this is not a video call; this is just plain video!
Bai Youling’s throat swallowed with difficulty. Just as he was about to get up and question Ye Huan why he used a fake video to deceive...
"Oh, dear Mr. Koumu, your Patek Philippe Calatrava, it’s definitely, absolutely genuine, because I personally gifted it to you!" Holis said excitedly, with a sense of "honor" throughout his words.
Bai Youling collapsed to the ground again.
Not only is this watch genuine, but... but it was personally gifted to this guy by Holis?
No, no, this definitely must be a fake video!
This isn’t a video call!
Ye Huan glanced at Bai Youling, seemingly seeing through his thoughts, picked up another watch from the table and aimed it at the phone’s camera, his lips curving upward. "Holis, is this watch genuine or fake?"
"This watch?" Holis took a closer look, then awkwardly said, "Mr. Koumu, regardless of craftsmanship and material, this watch is of extremely poor quality, undoubtedly a fake. Moreover... those seven small diamonds inlaid look somewhat like the seven brothers from that Huaxia animation ’Calabash Brothers’ hanging on a vine."
Ye Huan chuckled, then looked at Bai Youling, saying meaningfully, "President Bai, so the foreign friend says your fake’s seven pieces of glass resemble the Calabash Brothers."
There’s nothing to say!
The chairman of Patek Philippe himself said the watch is a fake, so even with ten mouths, you can’t fabricate this lie!
Bai Youling’s face flushed red.
Simultaneously, he no longer doubted whether it was a video or a video call.
Holis answered Ye Huan’s questions twice; how could this not be a video call?
This guy really maintained the pretense?
Not only is the watch genuine, but the video call is genuine too!
At this moment, on the other end of the video, Holis, with an expectant look, tentatively asked, "Mr. Koumu, I wish to custom-make for you a one-of-a-kind watch worldwide, estimated at 666.66 million. What do you think..."
As soon as this came out...
The entire room went silent.
Bai Youling’s lips quivered, utterly stunned.
The already extremely shocked Su Qingqing became even more shocked.
Not only had Holis personally gifted Ye Huan a globally one-of-a-kind watch valued at 6.66 million, now he wants to custom-make for him a watch valued at 666.66 million?
This... this is absurd!
Unlike the two’s shock, Ye Huan’s face was very calm, as if there was not even a ripple in his heart.
"No need, I like to keep a low profile, let’s leave it at that, I’ll contact you if there’s anything."
After saying this calmly, Ye Huan hung up the call.
But this simple sentence made Holis, far away in the West, jump with joy.
Contacting if anything arises, doesn’t this mean having the opportunity to speak to Mr. Ye again?
Having this chance means having the opportunity to gain Mr. Ye’s favor during the call, doesn’t it?
But while he was happy, some people were not.
For example... Bai Youling, whose face was slapped swollen.
"Minister Su, this watch is for you!" Ye Huan casually tossed the genuine watch to Su Qingqing.
This pretense was flawless.
The Patek Philippe Calatrava, desired by countless people, was casually tossed and gifted to someone else by him.
Watching Ye Huan’s casual movement, Bai Youling was beyond envious.
When people pretend, they back it up with real strength!
And as for himself? He could only give a fake watch!
Not to mention gifting a fake watch, he insisted in front of a genuine one that it was real, he has no shame!
Bai Youling cursed himself internally, almost to the point of slapping himself.
Su Qingqing took the watch, still in a state of confusion.
