"Since you trust me, I'll give you a two-dollar discount, so it's fifty-eight yuan. Go ask around and see if you can find anything cheaper than this, I'll give it to you for free," the young man said exaggeratedly.
Xing Baohua was also considering whether to take it back for further study and then give it to the machinery factory, since producing calculators and electronic watches was essentially the same thing. The structures were different, but everything else was similar. They didn't require precision parts; it was all electronic.
Seeing Xing Baohua hesitate, the young man said in a low voice, "I'll give you a three-yuan discount, fifty-five yuan, take it if you want. If you still think it's too expensive, I'm sorry, I can't sell it to you for any lower."
"Okay, I'll buy it." Xing Baohua said, taking out money and counting out six bills for the other party. After the young man gave him five yuan in change, he said, "Aren't you going to look at the others?"
Forget about the others; they're all rip-offs. He bought this watch not to wear it himself, but to study it.
Wearing a cartoon-style children's watch doesn't suit his size at all; it makes him look silly.
They walked quickly out of the courtyard, turning back every few steps, as if afraid of being ambushed in the alleyways.
Fortunately, I made it to the main road without any serious incident, found the No. 18 bus stop, and squeezed onto the bus before I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Back at the guesthouse, I first called Liu Haibo to ask where Sun Changjie was.
If Sun Changjie were in the provincial capital, I could ask him to get some industrial tickets so I could buy that Longines watch.
As expected, Sun Changjie was on Liu Haibo's end. He picked up the phone and listened, then said, "You need industrial ration coupons to buy a watch? You're stupid. You need industrial ration coupons to buy a watch? Ask my cousin." After criticizing Xing Baohua, he hung up the phone.
Xing Baohua was speechless for a moment. Yes, even those in foreign trade couldn't get their hands on good watches. They were, after all, siblings who had shared drinks and sworn brotherhood.
Then he called Yang Jing again and said he wanted a watch.
Yang Jing said not to worry about it, she would just get him one later.
They didn't even ask what style or brand I wanted before hanging up.
Xing Baohua thought to himself, "Just don't get him a Casio."
After dinner, Xing Baohua was idling in the house, so he drew the appearance of a watch, drawing based on his memory of what a sports electronic watch looked like.
From buying that fake Casio, Xing Baohua knew that there were already counterfeit products in China, but he didn't know how good they were.
If we can find it, we can just buy the movement and rebrand it ourselves.
As for the movement, Section Chief Shen Jie will purchase it. However, the watch should be saved as the last item on our list before we leave, to repay the factory manager's favor.
Around 10 p.m., there was a knock on Xing Baohua's door. He was startled and thought to himself, "Could it be someone coming to paint?"
There wasn't even a peephole on the door, so we had no idea who was outside.
"Who?" Xing Baohua asked loudly.
If there's no answer, keep knocking.
"Who is it? Say something, or I'm calling the waiter!" Xing Baohua said.
Yes, it's me.
Well, they found it after all, and they were very accurate. Who gave her the address? It was either the screenwriter or old man Wang. Director Wang is the most likely candidate.
What was Old Man Wang's purpose?
You just want to watch the excitement, right?
Xing Baohua wondered whether to open the door or not.
With a determined effort, I opened the door.
Guo Hongxia, dressed in a flamboyant manner, appeared at the door, empty-handed with no easel.
The dress is nice, but the makeup is a bit scary. If you don't know how to do makeup, don't wear it.
Even a hint of romance gets scared away.
Everyone knew perfectly well why they were there. Xing Baohua pretended to yawn and said, "It's late. Can we talk about it tomorrow?"
"Director Li, I really want to ask you about going abroad." Guo Hongxia said, trying to enter, but Xing Baohua blocked her by holding onto the door frame.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. Seriously, it's not appropriate for you to come here so late at night. It wouldn't be good if my partner found out."
"You still have a boyfriend?"
Xing Baohua laughed angrily and said, "Is that nonsense? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't find a wife?"
As he was speaking, he tried to close the door.
Guo Hongxia realized she had misspoke and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Wait, I just wanted to..."
Suddenly, I noticed several sheets of paper on Xing Baohua's bed with sketches on them. Although I couldn't make out anything, I guessed that they were drawn by Xing Baohua.
"Can I see what you drew?"
"Don't bother looking anymore, it's late! I need to rest, you should go home. If you want to see it, I'll bring it to the studio tomorrow."
Seeing Xing Baohua's cold-heartedness, Guo Hongxia gritted her teeth and asked, "What price do I have to pay for you to help me go abroad? If you can help me go abroad, I can give you everything I have."
Xing Baohua looked up slightly, unsure how to tell her that this was someone who was desperate to go abroad.
Life abroad isn't all that great. The moon isn't always bright, so why does everyone want to go abroad? Those from well-off families can just go and have some fun.
Want to go out and make money? Ha! You'll suffer!
"I'm sorry, I can't help you!" Xing Baohua said helplessly, and closed the door.
