How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Chapter 398 - 184: Romance Worth Over Ten Million

Ouyang Nana’s income was very high, earning tens of millions of Euros a year, surpassing not only 99.99% of the people in Hua Country but also belonging to a small group of top-income earners globally.

With such a high income, her quality of life didn’t need much explaining.

She had dined at many high-end restaurants around the world.

Like the meal Gu Heng hosted today, a meal valued at 12,500 Euros per person, she had tried it as well.

She could indulge in a bottle of 1982 Lafite worth a million RMB, albeit with some hesitation.

But there was a fundamental difference with Gu Heng...

It was indulgence for her, yet for Gu Heng, it was everyday life. A million-level expense seemed high, but it was only slightly higher than Gu Heng’s usual daily spending, considering Gu Heng’s current random daily expenses could amount to several hundred thousand RMB per day.

It was because he was accustomed to this spending pattern that such a level of expenditure no longer impressed him.

...

As the restaurant manager opened the wine bottle and poured some into the empty glasses in front of Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana, he immediately signalled the waiters to unveil the exquisite dishes covered in front of them, releasing a faint scent of meat.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Ouyang, this is the first course we are serving today, a ham and vegetables dish.

The vegetables are the freshest picked from the lake this morning, and the ham is Iberian ham, carefully prepared by our head chef and served to you within 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

It is the opening appetizer of the 13-course meal."

Thinking this, Gu Heng smiled at Ouyang Nana and said, "How come you know a little about everything?"

Ouyang Nana smiled shyly at this and said, "I’ve been in contact with these kinds of everyday things often and just naturally remember them. Plus, I really like the cultures of various countries and often read news and books about them when I have spare time. So, I know a bit about everything, but it’s just superficial knowledge. I would be clueless about anything deeper."

Since acquiring the system, Gu Heng had encountered numerous women and had intimate relationships with many.

But apart from Lin Ran, nearly all were just beautiful shells with no substance...

It was precisely because of this that Gu Heng had been thinking about Lin Ran for so long, and now Ouyang Nana, a beautiful young woman with both knowledge and attractiveness, appeared; Gu Heng couldn’t control himself...

If previously he had wanted something to happen with Ouyang Nana out of mere physical desire, now it could be said to be slightly more sophisticated, craving not just her body but her soul as well...

Without being coy, Gu Heng said directly, "Since you like world cultures so much, I’m planning to travel around the world. Why don’t you join me? With your knowledge, I could even save the money for a tour guide."

Ouyang Nana was startled...

Too straightforward...

She and Gu Heng had known each other for how long? Only a few hours of interaction?

And now he was inviting her to travel the globe with him?

After being in the industry for so many years, she understood these hints all too well. If she agreed, she suspected there would likely be an added "service" expected of her...

And she wasn’t wrong; that was exactly what Gu Heng meant. For him, his time was precious now, and he had no time to indulge in pure romance with women. The higher the level, the less room there was for love—it was more about exchanging benefits.
