Chapter 108 Anna and the Watch
We arrived at Piazza San Barbila in the heart of Milan.
Lin Mu wandered aimlessly, thinking that with his built-in doctor buff, there might be some emergency.
Everything went smoothly.
Walking through the commercial center of Via Montenapoleone, you'll find almost every luxury brand gathered here, with shops selling clothes, watches, and more lining the streets.
People are all dressed fashionably.
Lin Mu actually felt a little uncomfortable.
"Have I become too used to the operating room?"
Lin Mu sighed.
"Wood!"
Just as he was about to go to Jiang Shidan, he heard a very familiar voice. When he turned around, he saw Anna.
The little girl was wearing a dark green sweater today.
It gives people a very tranquil feeling.
You'd never guess he's the kind of ruthless person who can burst the nutrient solution.
Are you here to go shopping?
Anna jogged over. She had called Lin Mu "senior" earlier, but he refused, saying that there was no such way of addressing him in Italy.
Lin Mu told her to just call her by her name.
"I want to buy a watch."
Lin Mu nodded.
"Then I'll go with you to buy one. I know a lot about watches!"
Anna immediately volunteered.
Lin Mu looked down and noticed that Anna was wearing a watch without a brand logo on her wrist.
But that smoked dial is quite representative.
Henry Moser's watch.
Lin Mu suddenly became puzzled. From what his teacher had told him, Anna didn't seem to be well-off.
But this watch isn't cheap.
Forget it, Lin Mu was too lazy to waste brain cells thinking, so he led Anna to the coffee shop next door.
"I'd like a latte, please."
Lin Mu hasn't liked drinking Italian drinks lately.
It's too bitter.
And I'm so tired every day, I always crave something sweet.
What would you like to drink?
Lin Mu looked at Anna, who was in a daze, and asked.
"Oh, give me a latte too."
Anna smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth.
Place both hands on the hot paper cup.
Lin Mu felt that the scene at this moment was a little like a TV drama.
If another patient appears, it will be even more likely to be the case.
When Lin Mu arrived at the Vacheron Constantin store, he tried on several styles, but none of them seemed quite right.
"Vacheron Constantin doesn't suit your style, senior!"
After Anna finished speaking, she glanced cautiously at Lin Mu.
She always felt that calling Lin Mu by his name sounded too distant.
I stayed up all night researching and learned that in China, people from the same school address each other as senior and junior brothers and sisters.
Lin Mu sighed helplessly.
In Italian, Fratello means brother and maggiore means big.
In Chinese, it would be "Big Brother".
A little girl called him "big brother," which Lin Mu could only misinterpret as "senior brother."
Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold back my laughter.
"Let's go to the next one then."
Lin Mu no longer wanted to correct Anna; in a sense, Anna was indeed his junior sister.
Rolex stores are much larger.
The watches in the shop window looked extremely luxurious under the lights.
"I'm usually a pretty low-key person, so wearing a Rolex wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"
Lin Mu muttered something to himself.
"Senior brother, are you still going to keep a low profile?"
Anna pursed her lips, not believing it at all. Lin Mu's speed during surgery was simply amazing.
In the US, people can flip tables on a whim.
They showed absolutely no respect to America's orthopedic elites.
"But you're right, Rolex really isn't suitable for you. In Italy, Rolex has a nickname, 'ilRole,' although it's not a compliment."
Anna shrugged. "But it's still too much of a label. When people see you for the first time, they'll notice the Rolex, not you as a person."
She thought the wood was much more dazzling than a Rolex.
"Then let's move on to the next one."
Lin Mu felt that Anna's words made no problem.
When we arrived at the Lange store.
Lin Mu looked at the watch on the dark walnut display case, which reflected a quiet and refined quality.
Anna waved her hand, indicating that the salesperson didn't need to explain.
She stood to the side of the trees and said, "Senior, do you know that other brands design the dial first and then put the movement inside, but Lange designs the movement first and then builds the dial?"
"So when you look down through the watch crystal, you can see that every part of the movement is custom-made for this watch, just like some people are used to perfecting every detail, even if those details will never be noticed by others."
Lin Mu nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Anna is quite good at flattery. No wonder the professor, who is so old and had stopped recruiting master's and doctoral students, insisted on taking her in as a student.
"Let me try that one on."
Lin Mu pointed to a three-hand watch on the right side of the counter and said.
"This is our new Richard Lange series, which we just launched in 2006. It doesn't have any other complicated functions, but it takes precision to the extreme!"
The salesperson finally got a chance to speak.
Lin Mu nodded, took the watch, and examined it carefully.
The blued steel second hand, as it glides across the silver-white dial, is somewhat like the sky over Milan.
Three-quarters of the watch plate can be seen through the crystal.
This is also a signature design of Lange, as Anna said, the movement is unique.
"Please wrap it up for me."
Lin Mu glanced at the price; it was less than 20,000 euros.
It's not expensive.
Although the average annual salary of an Italian employee is only over 20,000 euros.
But he's not short of money right now.
Even adding another zero would make it affordable.
"Where are you going? I'll take you."
Lin Mu glanced at the Breuer watch on his wrist and thought that the original owner's traces were gradually disappearing—the car, the watch, the clothes, and so on, and there would be a new house in the future.
He thought back to his experience when he returned to his hometown.
In an instant, he realized what he had left behind in Tonglu.
Lin Mu pursed his lips.
"No need, senior brother. My home is nearby; I can walk back."
Anna pointed to a building not far away.
Lin Mu's lips twitched. This area was the heart of Milan, the core of the financial and business district.
How expensive are houses?
I had learned about Lin Mu before.
At around 8,000 euros per square meter, a two-bedroom apartment of about 100 square meters would cost approximately one million euros.
Like the house Lin Mu rented is in the northwest of Milan.
It's far from the city center, and the housing prices aren't too high.
"Senior brother, would you like to come to my house?"
Anna extended the invitation in a very generous manner.
Lin Mu shook his head. "Several patients have follow-up appointments tomorrow. Let's wait for another opportunity."
After saying that, he got into his Alfa Romeo and drove away.
I checked my email when I got home.
Italy finally approved the clinical trial application, and Lin Mu sent an email to Fu Haoqiang and others, inviting them to attend the launch meeting in March.
Lin Mu then sent another email to the Amsterdam Sports Medicine Center.
Mainly about Totti.
After the acute phase of Totti's surgery, he will need to be injected with PRP, which is plasma rich in platelet-derived growth factor.
He had actually planned to inject it during the surgery.
However, we can take into account a rule recently released by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
For technologies like PRP, if they are used in the medical field, it is advisable to report to them in advance.
This allows for some degree of relaxation.
"PRP has gradually entered the mainstream medical field."
Lin Mu was pleased to see this change.
