I pulled my arm back and said to Brother Ping, "You're a millionaire with assets of over ten million, you've seen all sorts of things, a watch shouldn't make you this excited, right?"
As I spoke, I stepped out of the elevator before Ping Ge. Ping Ge caught up with me, then lifted my hand and examined my watch closely. His 'infatuated' expression was typical of someone who sees a woman they admire.
He finally spoke to me, saying, "You don't understand. I've always wanted to buy this watch, and I have the means to do so, but I'm afraid to... I'm afraid that if I buy it, I'll lose another pursuit in life... Please take the watch off so I can see what kind of movement it uses."
I handed the watch to him, and he examined it for a while, then played with it for a long time with an envious look before returning it to my hand and saying, "Yours is a 15 automatic movement, which is a bit more refined than the 86."
"The movement of this watch has a closed case back; can you tell it without opening the case?"
There's more to this than meets the eye...
Brother Ping taught me a few ways to distinguish them, but because there was no comparison, I still found it very abstract, so I was not willing to talk to him about these professional things. For me, the significance of this watch was not in these aspects.
But Ping Ge didn't notice my mood. He asked me again, "Where did you buy this watch?"
"The shopping mall near the airport."
"You're really lucky. Even if you have the money, you might not be able to buy this green Submariner these days."
"Why?"
"Because of the quota... Last year, each Rolex dealer could get an allocation of 9 green Submariners and 14 black Submariners a year, but this year they can only get 4 green Submariners and 6 black Submariners... I don't think you have such good taste. This watch must have been given to you by someone who knows watches, and they didn't hesitate at all when they bought it because it's so rare!"
After a brief pause, he smiled and said to me, "You don't know anyone else in Thailand, so this must have been a gift from Ye Zhi, right?"
"Um."
"If a woman could treat me like that, I would die happy!"
I looked at Brother Ping and asked, "Isn't it a bit pointless to measure whether a woman treats you well with money?"
"Being willing to spend money is part of it, but the sentiment is even more important... Let me tell you, in some countries' gangs, Rolex watches can be used as cash. When those gang leaders run away, they can leave their mistresses behind, and they can leave their cash behind, but they must take a Rolex watch with them, because that's their capital for making a comeback... I'm not kidding you, a gang leader without a Rolex is like a white-collar worker without social security, he feels very insecure!"
"So, in her heart, I was just a scoundrel who needed to run away at any time?"
"You're just arguing for the sake of arguing... What I mean is, this watch holds its value incredibly well, and only Rolex watches can be pawned."
You can exchange Rolexes for cash anywhere in the world, so they can be used as hard currency anywhere. Wearing a Rolex is like carrying an emergency bank account... In the New York black market, a green Rolex Submariner can be exchanged for 0 AK-47s. What does that mean? Enough to start a large armed gang... That's the capital to turn the tables... Let me tell you, wearing a Rolex makes you a real gangster. Wearing a Vacheron Constantin doesn't make you cool; it just shows you're a rich tycoon..."

This watch really hit a nerve with Ping Ge, so he kept talking about it; but the more he talked, the more interested I became, hoping he would tell me more rumors about the Rolex brand...
After taking a sip of water, Brother Ping continued, "What I've been telling you is that she gave you this watch with good intentions. Besides wanting to provide you with security, she also hopes you can make a comeback... You are the one who understands the feelings behind this best, since it's the two of you who have been together... I was just joking. If you agree, then I haven't wasted my breath. If you disagree, then just ignore what I said."
Have you ever seen such a long fart?
"Then just pretend I farted!"
I smiled and replied, "I understand... I will definitely make a decent career here."
"You can definitely do it... I'm going to sleep now, you should go to sleep early too... Don't stay up late before the surgery, you need to get yourself into the best mental state, okay?"
"Um."
...
After Brother Ping left, I quickly washed up and lay down on the bed. I wasn't very sleepy yet, so I took the watch off my wrist and examined it for a while. Suddenly, I felt it was more valuable because, in addition to its intrinsic value, it gave me a sense of security... It's time for me to make a comeback. My pain largely stems from my current state... I only remember how long I was depressed after my leg was broken.
I was finally getting sleepy, so before I went to sleep, I set my alarm for 2 a.m. because I needed to make sure Chen Jin had picked up Ye Zhi before I could feel at ease.
...
Perhaps because of this topic, I dreamt that I became a member of a gang, working for Cao Jinbo. To help him seize a construction site, I led a group of people in a fierce firefight with another group...
I'm not sure if I managed to seize the construction site in the end, but I became a wanted criminal because I killed someone...
But when I went to find Cao Jinbo, my boss inexplicably turned into Cao Bei. He said his father had long since retired from crime and that he was now in charge of the family affairs... Then, he gave me a Rolex watch and told me to run away to Malaysia, saying that someone there would meet me.
After arriving in Malaysia, I unexpectedly met Yang Sisi. She cleverly told me that she was the one who was supposed to meet me... But the next moment, she pointed a gun at my forehead and said that she would shoot me, this scourge, on behalf of the country and the people. She also said that when I died, she would die with me.
I woke up with a start the instant she fired the gun.
I sat on the bed for a long time, and then I laughed at myself in exasperation. What a 'messy' dream this was!
...
I went to the bathroom to wash my face, and just as I sat back on the bed, the alarm I had set went off. It was 2 a.m. here, but it was already 3 a.m. there. They wouldn't arrive in Dali until at least 7 a.m., which meant that Ye Zhi wouldn't have any time to rest before having to attend the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development meeting.
Even if you have millions of dollars in cash in your bank account, would you really feel happy living like this?
I sighed softly and sent a voice message to Chen Jin via WeChat...
