At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"As for this Rolex 1803, that's all I know," Gu Yu said. "If you have any further questions, I'm afraid I can't answer them."

Gu Yu gave a slight smile and carefully returned the heavy gold watch to the old man, Chen Tian.

Chen Tian was very satisfied; he had many watches, but his favorite was still this 1803.

It was the watch he bought with the first bucket of gold he earned when he was young!

For his generation, it represented memories and sentimentality.

Such memories cannot be bought with any amount of money.

The essential value of this wristwatch lies here, as every mark on it represents every bit of his past.

During the tough times of starting his business, it gave him confidence and accompanied him through deal after deal.

No amount of money spent on any other expensive watch can provide that kind of emotional attachment!

"Young man, you really understand your stuff! Where did you learn all this knowledge?"

As Chen Tian put on his watch, a beaming smile appeared on his face.

His fondness for the 1803 extended to Gu Yu, who also understood the watch, making Chen Tian grow fond of him as well.

"I learned these treasure appraisal skills from my grandfather; he also liked to tinker with these things when he was alive," Gu Yu replied.

Gu Yu used the background arranged by the system, which was indeed very convenient!

"Then your grandfather must have been a treasure appraiser master, right? Ah, by the looks of it, you must have inherited his mantle, which is great!" Chen Tian exclaimed admiringly, thinking that anyone who could teach their grandson like this must have been an exceptional master in his lifetime.

What a pity he had passed away early, otherwise Chen Tian would have made it a point to get to know him well!

"It seems Laosi's family background isn't ordinary after all!"

Surprised expressions crossed the faces of Boss Pu and the other two, as they speculated about Laosi's family background.

During his first and second years, Gu Yu had been working part-time jobs without a day's break, and he never talked about his family background.

This had led the three of them to believe that Laosi was from a difficult background, so they felt too embarrassed to ask.

But as it turned out, it wasn't that Laosi's family was struggling at all!

Rather, his family was too well-off, and he feared they might feel inferior if he revealed it!

Besides, some wealthy families are very strict in raising their children, deliberately cultivating the resilience to endure hardship from a young age, which would explain why Gu Yu was so dedicated to part-time work and frugality, right?

Ah, the children of wealthy families have it tough, too!

But now it seemed Laosi had come through the tough times, so he no longer concealed his skills and wealth.

The balance of several hundred thousand he had shown everyone before was probably money from home for him to spend!

With this thought, everything made sense!

Laosi's offering to treat them to a meal at Linlang Restaurant was probably a reward for himself!

Laosi sure didn't have it easy!

This was the unanimous thought in their minds. Their respect for Gu Yu grew as they considered the hard work and self-reliance of his everyday life, something not everyone can persevere with!

They harbored no ill feelings, as all three of them were from comfortable families and lived rather well-off daily lives.

They wouldn't change their behavior towards Gu Yu just because they knew about his real identity.

Gu Yu remained the same Laosi in their hearts.

After chatting for a while longer, there was nothing left to talk about, and it had also gotten quite late.

Following a discussion in Room 502, they decided to let Qin Shan stay behind with Boss Pu for the night, while the other two would return to school to attend classes tomorrow.

Boss Pu would be in the hospital for at least a week, so they planned to take turns caring for him.

"Old Chen, I'll be taking my leave now!" Gu Yu said farewell to the elder, Chen Tian.

"Alright! But on your way back, think about whether you want to accept my invitation or not. I really have high hopes for you!" Chen Tian nodded, reminding Gu Yu.

He had just invited Gu Yu to join him at an auction during their chat.

It was a small auction of real and fake collectibles, where one would need not only money but also keen judgment and luck!

Chen Tian had high regard for Gu Yu's judgment, as he had just proven that his appraisal skills were extraordinary!

Having lived for so many years, Chen Tian knew some things couldn't be faked.

If Gu Yu had been pretending to know or was passing off subpar goods as excellent, Chen Tian would have seen through it immediately!

Chen Tian believed in his ability to judge people.

"Okay! I'll seriously consider it!"

Gu Yu nodded, but didn't immediately agree just because Chen Tian was a big shot.

He wasn't the type to flatteringly wag his tail following the wind!

Chen Tian might have had a high status, but Gu Yu's future would definitely not be any less impressive than Chen Tian's!

Gu Yu's confidence was through the roof.

Chen Tian was speechless, yet he admired him in his heart.

This young man, having his own opinions, was very good!

Chen Tian was growing fonder of young people like Gu Yu, who, like himself when he first started his business, had ideas, vitality, and courage!

He was a talent!

After leaving Haidong Medical College Affiliated Hospital, Gu Yu and Yu Shutong hurriedly caught the last subway at 10:50.

Sitting on the seat, Gu Yu began to ponder whether to buy a car or to directly exchange for one in the System Mall.

But after some thought, he decided against it for the time being.

He didn't have many occasions where a private vehicle was necessary.

Moreover, buying a car would cost a substantial amount of money, and the cars in the Exchange Mall were mostly luxury vehicles, which were just too ostentatious!

He never understood the mentality of people who drove sports cars through the streets outside University City every night.

Not only did they deprive themselves of rest, but they also disturbed others' peace.

If he were a police officer, he would arrest them all!

"Ding-dong! University City South Station has arrived! You can go to Haidong University West Gate Commercial Street from this station. Please exit from the left door, let passengers off before boarding, and be careful not to slip!"

The subway station announcement rang out as Gu Yu and Yu Shutong stepped out of the subway station together.

As this was University City, although it was the last train, the subway station was still crowded with people.

Most of them were students, educators, and tourists visiting the commercial street in University City.

Gu Yu and Yu Shutong stood side by side on the escalator, and the young ladies above kept looking back. Gu Yu had to lower his head to avoid them accidentally falling.

"Tsk tsk! Laosi! It seems you're getting more handsome! The rate of second glances wasn't this high when I used to go out with you!"

Yu Shutong turned into a green-eyed monster. Although he wasn't bad-looking himself, standing next to Laosi was like a pearl competing with the bright moon for shine!

No young lady would notice him at all!

Gu Yu smiled bitterly, "But now I'm already feeling troubled."

Constant attention was uncomfortable, and Gu Yu was beginning to experience the challenges of a celebrity's daily life.

He was even considering whether to wear a mask.

Just as Gu Yu was walking through the exit passageway, deep in thought with his head down, a commotion broke out behind him.

"Stop him!"

"Block him!"

"..."

Two subway security officers were chasing a long-haired man who looked like a vagrant, frantically fleeing with a lady's handbag in his grasp.

Clearly, a robbery had just occurred behind them!

As the man got closer and his panicked face became more visible, Gu Yu had a thought and stuck out a foot into the robber's inevitable path.

The robber, upon seeing the exit to the station stairs, had a look of joy on his face.

But suddenly a long leg appeared in front of him.

He was sprinting at full speed and had no chance to dodge!

He could only watch in despair as he tripped over it and came crashing down in a face-first fall, followed immediately by two pairs of strong hands pressing down on his shoulders.

With a grunt of pain, when he raised his head again, he saw the person who had tripped him already catching the lift to leave.

"Hahaha! Brilliant! That was some kick!"

Outside the exit, Yu Shutong gave Gu Yu a thumbs-up, his face beaming with laughter.

"Do good deeds without leaving a name! Let's get going!"

Gu Yu shrank his neck, and the two of them scampered off.

By the time security came out to look for the hero, they were nowhere to be found.
