932 Were Differen (1/2)
Du Chengji was standing in front of a pot of spider plant. His gaze was gloomy as he stared at the branches, and he sounded like he was reciting a poem as he said, ”Such a beautiful plant, don't you think so?”
The young nurse beside him covered her mouth as she smiled.
Du Chengji immediately became excited. He was familiar with this kind of smile. Whenever a woman smiled like this, she was thinking about how she would continue entertaining a man because he seemed rich.
Du Chengji took a deep breath and suppressed his desire to look at the nurse's white uniform. He continued to look at the spider plant and expressed his emotions. ”The plants are growing really well. The people taking care of the plants must have put plenty of effort into it. Aren't everyone in hospitals nowadays really busy? Do you guys have time to water the plant and give it fertilizer? Or is it true that beautiful women just have to sprinkle a few drops of water on a plant for it to grow beautifully?”
The young nurse was still covering her mouth and smiling.
From the corner of his eyes, Du Chengji noticed that the young nurse's smile had changed. She seemed to be thinking about how he was pretty interesting and was good at chatting. She was also thinking about how tremendously rich he was and hoping that he was a sincere person.
Du Chengji was pleased with himself. He extended his left hand to reveal his diamond-studded Vacheron Constantin wristwatch. The diamonds sparkled as he fiddled with the spider plant. He said with a smile, ”I've been spending the last few years accompanying my dad, and I don't even have time to go out and have fun anymore. I don't participate in many social activities, and I'm not good at talking. So, please don't be angry if I say something wrong. Erm, the leaves of this spider plant are really smooth.”
The young nurse was still covering her mouth and smiling.
Du Chengji hid his fingers underneath his diamond-studded Vacheron Constantin wristwatch and secretly pulled a leaf of the spider plant forcefully.
It did not budge.
Du Chengji finally shifted his attention away from the young nurse to the spider plant before him.
He squeezed and rubbed the leaf...
Du Chengji had done industrial research in Germany's Humboldt University of Berlin; read books in Florence, Italy and thought about life in Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Paris. He was highly qualified and had read a lot of books. He was also an adept thinker. Now, he was putting those qualities to good use and made a judgment.
'This plant is made of plastic!'
Du Chengji took another deep breath, and he could not help but become furious. 'It costs 1,200 RMB a day to stay in a ward in the VIP patient building. Who the heck would have expected that the spider plants in the corridors are fake? Prostitutes who cost 1,200 RMB a night put fresh flowers in their homes every two days, okay?'
Du Chengji turned his head a little to look at the young nurse in the face. He decided to make the ultimate move.
He gazed at the young nurse. His voice was rich in emotion and sincerity as he said, ”This watch of mine is Vacheron Constantin, from the Traditionnelle collection.”
The young nurse looked at Du Chengji with a smile on his face.
Du Chengji used a firmer tone as he said, ”I purchased this Vacheron Constantin watch when I've just worked for a year. I bought it with the money I earned with my own hands. Even though it's one of the more ordinary models from the Traditionnelle collection, personally, I really like it. I'm saying this to prove a point that I'm not a rich man's son who only knows how to spend money.”
Du Chengji quietly waited for five seconds, but he did not get any response. He sighed and turned to leave without looking back.
”A**hole,” another young nurse's voice rang out from behind him. She had been watching Du Chengji's interaction with the young nurse, and she was obviously a toxic friend.
”One who only knows how to toy with girls,” a third nurse commented.
Du Chengji suppressed the desire to turn and continued walking forward.
If he walked away fast enough, they would not be able to catch up with him and scold him as a group. That was the biggest lesson Du Chengji had learned during his three years of studying overseas.
The young nurses in the corridor let their mouths run even more freely.
One of the young nurse's toxic friends said, ”It's Vacheron Constantin. Are you really not going to give him a try?”
”He's too ugly,” the young nurse who had been covering her mouth and smiling earlier answered firmly.
”But he's wearing a Vacheron Constantin wristwatch. Vacheron Constantin!”
”But it's not like he's going to give me a Vacheron Constantin watch, is he? Plus, he has such an ugly face.”
”You know what? You're right.”
