Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 98 He really has a girlfriend?! (Two chapters in one)

Gu Heng also saw Li Mengxue.

Their eyes met immediately.

no way.
Among a group of ordinary faces, Li Mengxue's delicate face is too obvious.
There is a saying that is indeed very good.

Female transformation.

Girls in their twenties are the most attractive stage in their lives. They have the youthfulness of a girl and the charm of a young woman. Compared with the immaturity of eighteen, the difference is really huge.
If it was the previous Gu Heng, seeing Li Mengxue's face that he felt so bad for in his youth again, he would probably be overwhelmed now.
But now
It seems like I feel nothing.

Li Mengxue is indeed beautiful, but her beauty is only relative to ordinary people.

Compared with girls like Lin Jiayun, He Jing and Lin Ran, I am still a level lower. I eat high-end steaks now, so who doesn’t have time to miss the local pork I ate before?

Isn't that despicable!

Thinking of this, Gu Heng just nodded to her.
It was neither cold nor hot, just like an ordinary friend who hadn't been in touch for many years.

When Li Mengxue saw Gu Heng's eyes, her heart couldn't help but tremble.
If Gu Heng was still as miserable as before, she would probably hold her head high and feel lucky that she made the right choice, and then walk in front of Gu Heng calmly.
But now the situation is completely reversed
What is there to say?

It's not scary to meet your ex, it's just embarrassing for the one who is doing badly.
The breakup words she said when she dumped Gu Heng, under the catalysis of time, finally turned into slaps in the face, hitting her face loudly and turning her face red.

Just when Li Mengxue deliberately avoided Gu Heng's gaze, Zhao Fang had already left Li Feng's arms, took Li Mengxue's hand and said, "Mengxue, come with me in this car!"

Having said that, he pulled Li Mengxue to the passenger door of the Bentley Flying Spur without further ado.

Li Mengxue struggled symbolically. But it was just symbolic. Zhao Fang didn't use much strength at all, and Li Mengxue sat on it obediently.
She also wanted to know if Gu Heng really had no feelings for her anymore.
If there was just one more reason, she would try again with Gu Heng. Just like what the fat bridesmaid said just now, there are too few rich men nowadays. She is surrounded by ordinary wage earners, and the highest earner only earns tens of thousands a month.

In the eyes of the general public, this income is already very good, but it is far from meeting Li Mengxue's mate selection criteria.
Zhao Fang knew that Li Mengxue was the kind of person who cared too much about face, so she didn't expose her. After all, she pulled Li Mengxue to the passenger seat in order to create an opportunity for her best friend and Gu Heng to have close contact.

Li Feng also knew what his wife was thinking, and he also wanted Gu Heng to be single, so they both sat in the back seat in tacit understanding without saying a word.

As for Gu Heng?
He could understand what Li Feng and his wife meant.

But now he feels more unfamiliar with Li Mengxue than a stranger. To put it bluntly, he has a deeper impression of Yu Han, who spent a night with him two days ago, than she does.

He didn't have any objections at all. He sat in the driver's seat without saying a word and acted as the driver.

"Hengzi, take Fangfang to my house first. After my parents give us the money to change our names, we can go directly to the city. The hotel has called me just now. Our wedding banquet will be held from 11 a.m. to : p.m."

"OK."

Nowadays, even people from rural areas rarely hold their weddings in their hometowns. Most of them go to hotels that specialize in hosting weddings.

Although the price is a bit higher, it is decent.

Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so of course we want it to be as grand as possible.
Li Mengxue sat in the passenger seat and looked at Gu Heng's profile. She hesitated for a long time and was about to speak when Gu Heng's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller ID on the phone screen, Gu Heng quickly controlled the steering wheel with one hand and put the phone to his ear.

"Is this Mr. Gu Heng? I'm Xu Song's agent, Zhang Yong. We contacted each other yesterday."

"correct."

"We have received your 40 yuan deposit. Xu Song is now preparing at the Qing'an Hotel. Do you have time to meet us? Also, please settle the remaining 40 yuan."

Hearing the voice on the phone talking about money all the time, Gu Heng not only did not feel the slightest bit disgusted, but instead felt a sense of relief.

Then he responded: "Then you wait for me in the hotel first, I should be there within an hour."

"Okay, I've brought the contract here. It's all drawn up based on our discussion yesterday. Just come over and confirm it."

"OK."

After a brief conversation, Gu Heng hung up the phone.

Asking Xu Song to come to Li Feng's wedding was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.
The main reason was that he thought a lot yesterday about how he could make Li Feng have an unforgettable wedding.

What about giving 88 yuan as a gift and a luxury car or a wedding house?
But he rejected them all in the end.
The reason was very simple. It was not that he was reluctant to give it away, but that this way of sending it away would not deepen the relationship between the two. Instead, it would most likely create an enemy. Gu Heng had heard the principle of "a little kindness, a big resentment" since he was a child, and he had seen such things around him quite often.

There are not many friends he can confide in, and he doesn't want to test the so-called human nature.

Moreover, he is only Li Feng's "father" in name only, not his biological father.

Just let him worry about things like the garage.

Finally, it was Lin Ran who reminded him and asked Gu Heng if he wanted to invite a celebrity or singer to sing two songs at the wedding.
This not only gives Li Feng dignity, but also gives himself face, and it will not cause too many conflicts of interest between the two.
As an executive of a Fortune 500 company, Lin Ran had a good network of contacts. It only took him a few hours to find the contact information of many celebrities and singers' agents.
Gu Heng asked about seven or eight questions.

Either the schedule is full or time is too tight and there is no way to make it.

Only Xu Song, a singer who was neither famous nor not famous and did not have many announcements, agreed immediately.

Coincidentally, Xu Song is from Hui'an and is currently celebrating the New Year in his hometown of Luzhou. It only takes more than an hour's drive to the city center of Qing'an.

Finally, after some bargaining by Lin Ran, the price was agreed at 80.

40 minutes of performance, 5 songs
"Who is it, Hengzi? He is so impressive, do you still need to go to the hotel to meet him in person?"

Seeing Gu Heng put down the phone, Li Feng hugged Zhao Fang and teased with a smile.

Gu Heng didn't plan to tell him now, so he just perfunctorily said, "A friend of mine said he would come to our place to play for two days, and called me to meet him."

"Okay, but you have to ask him to come to the wedding later. Your friend is my friend!"

Listening to Li Feng's words, Gu Heng smiled obscurely and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring him to your wedding.

And you know this person.”

"I know him? Who is he?"

"You'll know when he comes."

As he was talking, Gu Heng called Lin Ran again: "Are you up yet?"

In the car, Li Feng and Li Mengxue heard Gu Heng's gentle voice and turned their heads subconsciously.
Li Feng had never seen Gu Heng talk to anyone like this in all these years.
Li Mengxue is a woman's sixth sense.
Her sixth sense told her that the person who was talking to Gu Heng on the phone must be a woman.
"Just woke up"

On the phone, Lin Ran yawned, her voice was vague and soft, not at all like a strong woman.
"As long as you're awake, I'll send you an address. You can pick me up here and we'll go to the city together. The person you helped me arrange an appointment with yesterday is already here."

"Just go if you're here. You give him money and he performs for you. It's such a simple thing. Why do you want me to do it?"

"Then I'm not afraid of being cheated, am I? Besides, you're the one who helped me contact, so you have to be a good person to the end, right?"

Hearing Gu Heng's rogue tone, Lin Ran couldn't help but smile and continued, "Even if you were cheated, it's only 80 yuan. What are you still short of? Besides, do you really not trust my connections? I personally asked someone to help you get the contact information, how could it be fake?"

"Don't say so much, just tell me whether you are coming or not!"

"Okay, I'll wash up and put on some makeup and then come over. Send me the address on WeChat."

After saying that, the phone was hung up before Gu Heng could continue speaking.
Gu Heng was also used to this straightforward way of getting along with Lin Ran, so he put his phone back into his pocket, hummed a song, and drove the car attentively.
But this incident did remind him that as his wealth gradually increased, anything he did would easily cost him hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, so he had to find a private lawyer. Otherwise, it would be too tiring to do all these things himself.
Li Mengxue had been trying to find a chance to talk to Gu Heng, but Gu Heng had been on the phone since he got in the car, not even paying her any attention.
Although she knew that Gu Heng most likely no longer had any feelings for her, she was unwilling to accept it and sorted out her emotions, preparing to take the initiative again.
Although it was embarrassing for her to give in to her ex-boyfriend whom she had kicked away.
But there is no way.
Gu Heng's one-handed Bentley driving posture is so handsome
But when she was about to speak, Gu Heng seemed to know her thoughts in advance and said to Li Feng: "Fengzi, I will send you home later and then my girlfriend will pick me up to go to the city.

I won't drive the car away, you can just find someone else to drive it later."

Being interrupted by Gu Heng once again, Li Mengxue almost got internal injuries.
I could only smile awkwardly and listen to the conversation between the two.
"No! Who the hell dares to drive your car? Who will be responsible if it gets bumped?"

"If no one is willing to drive, you can drive it yourself. Anyway, I've given the car to you."

"Fuck you"

Li Feng wanted to scold him, but suddenly found the key words in Gu Heng's words and asked in confusion: "Girlfriend? When did you have a girlfriend? How come I didn't know? Could it be that you were jealous of me getting married and made up a fictional girlfriend?"

When he said this, Li Feng glanced at Li Mengxue out of the corner of his eye and saw her forced smile.
"How can I have the time to lie to you? You'll see it later."

This time, Li Mengxue no longer had the desire to reminisce with Gu Heng.
Whether Gu Heng really has a girlfriend or he just made one up like Li Feng said
The answers are very obvious.
Isn't it just telling myself not to have unreasonable expectations?
And in fact, this is exactly what Gu Heng meant.

More than ten minutes later.

Gu Heng parked the car outside Li Feng's yard.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a lot of familiar faces, though I couldn't remember their names.
"Fuck! Gu Heng, you really drive a Bentley? When Li Feng was chatting with me the day before yesterday, I thought he was bragging to me!"

"Is this a Bentley Flying Spur? The price should be at least 300 yuan, right?"

"You should be the best student in our Grade 7 Class now, right?"

Listening to these words of envy or flattery, Gu Heng gradually remembered these people.
They were all former classmates.
Listening to the flattery, Gu Heng simply smiled and greeted them lightly, without showing much enthusiasm.

The relationship between classmates is the least valuable relationship in life, and he has already pretended enough in the past few days back in the village. Gu Heng is really too lazy to flatter them.

But they don't care
It is human nature to follow the crowd.
Even though Gu Heng acted so distant, there were still people who came up to him and tried to get close to him.
For a moment, Li Feng, the protagonist of today, was left out in the cold.
But he didn't care at all.

Hearing the free flattery being showered on Gu Heng, Li Feng was genuinely happy for Gu Heng.
Many people here did not believe that Gu Heng could afford a Bentley, but no one questioned it out loud. There was only harmonious praise.

This is the normal phenomenon. In interpersonal communication, only idiots with no emotional intelligence will question others to their faces. Normal people will only be indifferent or flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. When others are praising you, they will follow suit and praise you highly.

When others belittle you, they will also give you a kick in the back.

Suddenly, someone saw Li Mengxue getting down from the passenger seat, and someone immediately said, "Fuck, Li Mengxue?
I remember you two started dating in high school, so it’s been seven years now. Your wedding should be coming soon, right?”

"Mengxue is still as beautiful as ever. Gu Heng, you are so lucky!"

Hearing this, Gu Heng, who had been listening quietly, finally spoke up. "Don't talk nonsense, I have a girlfriend.

I have been separated from Li Mengxue for almost six years. Today she is the bridesmaid, so I took her over as well."

The man who flattered the horse but ended up hitting the horse's leg could only smile awkwardly when he heard this.
As for Li Mengxue, after hearing Gu Heng's firm denial, she could only continue to force a generous smile and walk away from the crowd.
At this moment, a red BMW drove over from a distance, raised a cloud of dust and stopped steadily outside the yard. Everyone looked over.

The car window slowly lowered
Lin Ran's exquisite face appeared in front of everyone
Li Mengxue, the beauty who was originally praised by everyone, is completely not on the same level compared to her.
Directly crushed...

Just as everyone was whispering about who Lin Ran was, Lin Ran's cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Gu Heng, get in the car."

Gu Heng was grateful to her in his heart.
If she hadn't arrived just in time, I would have been annoyed to death by these old classmates whose names I couldn't even remember.
Then he threw his car keys to Li Feng and said, "Fengzi, I'm leaving first. See you at the hotel later."

Then he repeated the same words to his old classmates and got into the passenger seat of the BMW.
Lin Ran didn't hesitate, he stepped on the accelerator and took Gu Heng away from everyone's sight.
Only a group of old classmates were left standing there in confusion.
The same thought occurred to Li Feng and Li Mengxue at the same time.
Does he really have a girlfriend? ! ! !
…………

"Who was that woman standing next to you just now?"

After Gu Heng gave the address, Lin Ran drove towards the address on the navigation while pretending to ask casually.

"Ex-girlfriend."

Hearing this, Lin Ran felt a little uncomfortable: "You have very low taste. This woman is not even as good as Fang Xun."

Hearing Lin Ran mention Fang Xun's name, Gu Heng smiled awkwardly.
After all, with Lin Ran's intelligence, it's impossible that he didn't know that he had tricked Fang Xun.
I could only deliberately change the subject and ask, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Hearing this, Lin Ran was stunned. He quickly denied it, "Then you underestimate me too much. With the level of these two people, it is impossible for them to make me jealous."

After saying that, he felt something was wrong and quickly continued, “Also, why should I be jealous?”

Listening to Lin Ran's contradictory words, Gu Heng just smiled.
Human
There will always be flaws
Being able to become a senior executive of a famous company at such a young age, there is no doubt that Lin Ran is very capable.

But when it comes to love experience, she is even more innocent and stupid than an ordinary teenage girl and can't hide her feelings at all.
If I were a man with a conscience, perhaps Lin Ran would be the best choice for my other half.
But it's a pity
He is a scumbag without conscience
He admitted that he had a crush on Lin Ran, but it was a bit impossible for him to give up the entire forest for such a big tree.
If I really want to be a good man with correct values, then wouldn't it be a waste of time to use the system?

When he thought of this, Gu Heng honestly shut his mouth and stopped talking, fearing that he would get too deeply involved...

Lin Ran also noticed Gu Heng's change, and felt a little disappointed, so he drove quietly.
After half an hour.

The BMW 5 Series was parked downstairs of Qing'an Hotel.

After asking which room Xu Song was in, Gu Heng took Lin Ran upstairs.

After knocking on the door, a middle-aged man who looked very slick opened the door and invited the two in.

"Is it Mr. Gu and Miss Lin?"

Gu Heng and Lin Ran nodded at the same time.

Seeing the main character, Zhang Yong quickly smiled and said, "You two, please come in and sit down. Our Xu Song is preparing to warm up his voice before the performance."

Having said that, he led the two of them to another small living room in the suite.

Zhang Yong was not lying, Xu Song was indeed making strange sounds at this time.
"I'm sorry, both of you. Our Xu Song takes music very seriously. He would take even an ordinary commercial performance seriously. Please forgive me if I have been negligent."

As he said that, he interrupted Xu Songdao: "Xiaosong, stop practicing. The person who invited us to the commercial performance is here."

The Xu Song in front of me is exactly the same as the one on TV and mobile phone. He is thin, wears glasses, and looks gentle.
to be honest.
When he stepped into the door of this room, Gu Heng was very excited.
He had never seen a celebrity in person. After all, given his living conditions, a concert ticket that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars was too much of a luxury.
Especially Xu Song is still the youth in the eyes of these people born in the 90s and 00s.
But when he saw Xu Song standing in front of him, the excitement in Gu Heng's heart disappeared and he became unusually indifferent.
He didn't know why this change happened.
"Hello, Mr. Gu and Mr. Lin."

In response to Xu Song's greeting, Lin Ran acted very calmly, as if he was facing an ordinary person.

When she was young, she might have had a little girlish heart and pursued Jay Chou, but later on, due to work reasons, she came into contact with many so-called stars, and saw many stars who looked glamorous in front of outsiders but were servile in front of capital. That kind of admiration for stars has long disappeared.
Because she knows very well that celebrities are just ordinary people with more exposure.
After a few simple polite words, Zhang Yong quickly took out the contract from his briefcase and handed it to Gu Heng with a smile: "Mr. Gu, this is the contract for our Xu Song to participate in the commercial performance, please take a look.

The contracts are standardized and are all pretty much the same.

As for the other conditions, we have already agreed on them yesterday. The appearance fee of 80 yuan will be paid before the commercial performance. Our Xu Song will appear at the wedding for 40 minutes and sing at least 5 songs. "

Gu Heng didn't even look at the contract and handed it directly to Lin Ran.

Seeing Gu Heng's hands-off attitude, Lin Ran had no choice but to serve as a free laborer and carefully look through the contract for Gu Heng.

As for Gu Heng, he was chatting with his childhood idol.
Lin Ran looked very carefully.
Although she knew that 80 yuan was nothing to Gu Heng, it was at least Gu Heng's trust in her. She spent more than ten minutes reading the contract, which had less than words.
She has never been so serious in her work in the company.
After confirming that there were no problems, Lin Ran handed the contract back to Gu Heng: "Sign it, no problem. They are very conscientious. They only calculated the 80 appearance fee, and did not include the cost of accommodation and transportation."

Zhang Yong also hurriedly said, "We Xu Song rarely participate in commercial performances. We were willing to appear this time because we heard that it was a wedding of a fellow villager from Hui'an. Since marriage is a happy event, we certainly won't bother you and disturb your interest."

Gu Heng didn't bother to listen to Zhang Yong's polite words. Since Lin Ran said it was okay, she signed her name on the contract with confidence, and then transferred the remaining 40 to Zhang Yong.

[The host spent 80 yuan to invite his childhood idol to sing at his childhood friend's wedding, and successfully indulged himself. Reward: 320 million yuan. Balance: 8370 million yuan. ]

The system's rewards also arrived as promised
Now that things were settled, Gu Heng didn't plan to sit here any longer. He still had to make arrangements with the hotel where he and Li Feng would get married.

"Then I'll be leaving first. You just need to arrive at the address I gave you before 11 o'clock. I'll contact you by phone then."

Hearing Gu Heng's words, Zhang Yong quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, we will strictly abide by the spirit of the contract!"

Without saying much, Gu Heng and Lin Ran walked out of the room with Zhang Yong seeing them off.
After the two left, Zhang Yong's Maitreya Buddha-like smile disappeared instantly, and he said to Xu Song with a serious face: "Xiaosong, you must take this commercial performance seriously and can't make any mistakes!"

"what happened?"

Although Xu Song is not a super star, with an appearance fee of nearly one million, he can barely be considered a top-tier star. Although he rarely appears in public, his popularity has never been low.

He has taken on many commercial performances like this before, and he couldn't understand why his agent treated him so attentively this time.
“You’ll be right if you listen to me.

I made some inquiries about this Lin Ran when he called me yesterday. He was invited back from abroad by Mr. Zhang of Hillhouse Capital at a huge expense. He is a 28-year-old deputy director. Being valued so much by Mr. Zhang, he has already stepped half a foot into the decision-making level.

Looking at her attitude just now, can this Gu Heng be an ordinary person? Don't think that a local boss in a small place has no power.

I know your mind is full of your music, but we should try our best to befriend people like this. Even if we can't be friends, we shouldn't make things unpleasant. If you want to make it in the entertainment industry, it's useless to just have good works!"

Xu Song could only nod helplessly after hearing this.
Gu Heng didn't know that because of Lin Ran, he had inexplicably become a person that Xu Song needed to befriend. Sitting in the car, he said to Lin Ran: "Lin Ran, I have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

Lin Ran looked at Gu Heng with her beautiful eyes.

"Actually, Xu Song was my idol when I was little. I listened to his songs almost all my school years. I was very excited to meet him and even wanted to ask him for an autograph or something.
But when I actually saw him, I wasn't excited at all. What do you think happened?"

"That's it?"

After hearing Gu Heng's question, Lin Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes.

No man can stand the insult of the two words "that's all". Just when Gu Heng was about to get angry, he heard Lin Ran say, "From what I see about your family's situation, you are not a second-generation rich. You must have become rich all of a sudden, right?"

Gu Heng nodded honestly.

"If you can continue to be so rich, you won't even need to ask anyone else about this question. You will know the answer yourself."

"How to say?"

“It’s just a simple class issue.
You used to be an ordinary person, and these stars appeared glamorously on TV and in your mobile phone. The spotlights and cheers from fans made them seem superior, so of course you thought they were idols. "

"But what about now? He's just a guy you paid 80 yuan to come and sing for you, why are you so excited to see him?
Have you ever seen a boss get excited when he sees his employees? "

After hearing what Lin Ran said, Gu Heng suddenly became enlightened.
In the final analysis, it is because I have spent too much time to become a rich person, and my cognition has not yet reached the level of my own wealth.
Seeing Gu Heng's expression, Lin Ran continued, "Celebrities are just a group of public figures who have been pushed to the forefront. They are actually at the bottom of the contempt chain in the entire upper class circle.

When you have enough money, you won’t be excited to see them, but they will feel honored to see you.”

"Your annual salary is barely enough for a commercial performance. Why do you sound like you're looking down on these celebrities?"

After being scolded by Gu Heng, Lin Ran couldn't help but roll his eyes again.
“Money is only part of social status, okay? No matter how easy it is for them to make money, they can’t be respected.

Due to national conditions, China is a little more restrained, but abroad, there are too many examples of stars being sent to wealthy men with a clear price tag. And they have no way to refuse, because if they refuse, they will no longer be able to make easy money.

Although my annual salary is only over one million, do you think anyone would dare to do this to me?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's eyes flashed.
Just having money will do?
It seems that I have found a new way to indulge myself.
Seeing Gu Heng's lustful eyes, Lin Ran knew what he was thinking without having to guess. He said sarcastically with a cold tone, "I do know some channels in the entertainment industry. How about I introduce them to you? So that you can experience the feeling of being served by a star?"

"Ahem. What are you talking about? Am I, Gu Heng, this kind of person?"

"Don't even think about it. Although the stars I mentioned can't refuse those big guys, they can still refuse nouveau riche like you. Stars are not fools. They can tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal. Unless you are willing to give them a sky-high price that they can't refuse, they would rather do long-term business in the circle than do your business."

"Then how do you know I can't become a big boss in the future?"

Hearing this, Lin Ran quickly said, "Great! I blew you out! And you still say you're not that kind of person!"

"No, listen to my excuse!"

"I don't listen! I don't listen! I don't listen!"

After saying that, he vented his anger by stepping on the accelerator to the bottom and drove away.
Along the way, Lin Ran was angry and didn't say a word to Gu Heng, while Gu Heng was also thinking about how to become a big boss.
There is a system, but being just an ordinary rich person is too sad.
And there are many things that you can’t enjoy just by having money.
Just like what Lin Ran said just now.
