Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 34 Rolex

When Shaohua, Lu Jiayao and others returned to the shop, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening and the shop was closed, but Lu Jiacheng and others did not sleep. They knew that Lu Jiayao had arrived, so they kept waiting.

"Brother." Lu Jiacheng's voice rang out as Lu Jiayao just walked in.

"Yeah, you haven't slept yet!" Lu Jiayao smiled.

"I've been waiting for you. Come, let me introduce you. This is..." Lu Jiacheng hastily introduced Zhang Haixin and Li Xiaofei to Lu Jiayao.

"Hello, big brother. Hello, big brother." Zhang Haixin and the other man greeted them indifferently.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers, hehe." Lu Jiayao didn't know what to say, so he could only simply say "thank you for your hard work" to show his concern.

Zhang Haixin and Li Xiaofei could really feel Lu Jiayao's concern at this moment, and they shook their heads with a silly smile to show that it was not "hard". Since they came to Shenzhen, Lu Shaohua and his family treated them like brothers, making them feel the warmth they had never experienced before and giving them a sense of belonging to "home".

……

There was no conversation that night. Lu Jiayao got up before dawn the next day. He had been accustomed to life in the countryside. Now that he came to Shenzhen, he was a little uncomfortable with the city life. After getting up, Lu Jiayao had nothing to do. He remembered the gift Yang Jianlong gave him last night. He rummaged through the gift bag, and the sound of the zipper woke up Lu Shaohua.

"Dad, what are you looking for?" Lu Shaohua asked casually, a little confused.

"Xu!" Lu Jiayao stretched out his ring finger and put it to his mouth, asking Lu Shaohua to speak more quietly. "I'm looking for the courtesy that Brother Yang gave me last night."

"You seemed to have put it in your coat pocket." Lu Shaohua thought about it carefully. He remembered that Lu Jiayao put the box in his pocket at that time.

"Oh, if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have remembered. I put it in my pocket. I'll get it right away." Lu Jiayao also didn't remember where he put it. He only remembered after Lu Shaohua reminded him.

"Xu!" This time it was Lu Shaohua's turn to ask Lu Jiayao to speak in a low voice.

……

Lu Shaohua was woken up and wanted to sleep a little longer, but when he looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost 7 o'clock, so he decided not to sleep and just got up to brush his teeth and wash his face. But when he finished washing his teeth, he found that Lu Jiayao was holding a golden watch in his right hand and looking at it. He walked closer with some curiosity and was startled.

"Dad! Is this the gift Yang Jianlong gave you?" Lu Shaohua couldn't believe it.

"Haha, that's right, this watch looks pretty nice." Lu Jiayao raised the watch in his hand somewhat ostentatiously.

Lu Shaohua was sweating profusely, looking at Lu Jiayao as if he were a monster, speechless. But on second thought, it was normal for Lu Jiayao to be unfamiliar with some brands since he had lived in the countryside for a long time. "Dad! This is a famous brand, 'Rolex'!" That's right, the reason why Lu Shaohua was shocked was because he saw a 'palm' logo on the watch.

"What's 'Rolex' and 'Labour'?" Lu Jiayao didn't care about any famous brands at all, he just thought they looked good.

Lu Shaohua couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was completely speechless to Lu Jiayao. "Dad! Let's not talk about brand names, let's talk about the value of this watch. I think this watch must be at least more than 10,000 yuan!"

"What? At least ten thousand yuan?" Lu Jiayao was also frightened and stood up from his chair.

"Yeah!" Lu Shaohua nodded.

"No, it's too expensive. Let's return it to him later." Although Lu Jiayao has a lot of assets now, a watch worth more than ten thousand yuan is not something he can afford.

"Dad! Forget it. A gift given by someone is like water spilled. It can't be taken back." Lu Shaohua said this, but in his heart he was sighing that Yang Jianlong was so generous that he gave him a watch worth more than ten thousand yuan.

"Haha, since you're not going back, forget it." Lu Jiayao was also saying one thing and thinking another. In fact, he was thinking, "I'm wearing a watch that costs more than 10,000 yuan. When I meet someone I know, I can show it off."

……

Ever since Lu Jiayao received the Rolex watch, I don't know whether it was because of Yang Jianlong's generosity or because of their partnership, but from then on, the relationship between the two became much closer, and they treated each other as brothers every day and were inseparable.

Perhaps because the two of them are inseparable, Lu Shaohua saves a lot of trouble and does not have to take Lu Jiayao around everywhere. After all, this is Lu Jiayao's first time in Shenzhen, so it is necessary to take him to learn about the big city. This will not only change his thinking and increase his knowledge, but also broaden his horizons.

That day, the sky suddenly became dark, with dark clouds and occasional thunder. "Brother Jiayao, it seems that today's plan is going to fail." Yang Jianlong looked at the sky with a bit of regret. They had originally planned to go out to Shenzhen Shekou Sea World today, but in this kind of weather, they dared not go out and could only stay in the shop.

"Haha, brother, we have plenty of time. It doesn't matter if we go another day." Lu Jiayao didn't seem to care when to go.

"Yeah, there's plenty of time, haha." Yang Jianlong just felt a pity that the trip, which was well planned, could not be carried out due to weather problems.

……

"Brother Jiayao, to be honest, you should go to Hong Kong when you have time. That's what you call a real big city. The buildings there are dozens of stories high, and cars are running all over the streets. It's even more amazing at night, with bright lights and crowds of people. That's what you call a truly prosperous metropolis!" Yang Jianlong praised Hong Kong to the sky. Hong Kong was indeed very prosperous in this era. Although it did not develop to the same level as in the 21st century, its level of prosperity was not comparable to that of Shenzhen today.

"Really?" Lu Jiayao had a longing expression.

"There's more than that. In Hong Kong, whether it's public security, economy, medical care, or education, they're all much better than on the mainland..." Yang Jianlong knew that Lu Jiayao was attracted, and he continued to praise Hong Kong, comparing it with Shenzhen from time to time.

Lu Jiayao listened attentively, nodding his head from time to time to show his agreement. He had also heard of Hong Kong, known as one of the "Four Asian Tigers", and could fully imagine how developed its economy was. However, when Yang Jianlong talked about education, Lu Jiayao's eyes turned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Brother, can I enroll in your school in Hong Kong without a Hong Kong household registration?" Yang Jianlong continued to speak, but Lu Jiayao didn't even listen to what he said. He thought for a while and asked with some hesitation.

"Oh, that's no problem. With my old face, I can still..." Yang Jianlong really didn't know how to be humble at all. Now that there was a chance to show off his connections, he certainly wouldn't miss it.

"Really?" Lu Jiayao was a little unsure.

"Yeah! Really."
