Chapter 376 - 175 Frederick Arnault
Under Livia’s guidance, Gu Heng spent a simple two days in Paris, adjusting to the jet lag…
As the capital of France, although Paris is the largest city in France, it is not very large; the formal urban area is only 105 square kilometers, it takes 155 Parises to match the size of the capital of Hua Country…
Two days was barely enough to experience all of Paris…
You see, although Paris is very famous, the well-known attractions there are just those few…
Such as the Seine River…
The Palace of Versailles…
The Paris Opera House…
The Arc de Triomphe…
And one currently closed due to a fire, the Notre-Dame de Paris…
At such a time, a sense of cultural pride naturally emerged from the bones of the Chinese people…
With such famous attractions, you could find a few in just about any ancient city in Hua Country with thousands of years of history…
Thinking this way, Gu Heng suddenly felt that traveling abroad might not be all that different from domestic tourism…

The venue for the LV fashion show this time was set at the Orsay Museum. As indisputably the world’s number one luxury brand, representing the direction of high-end fashion trends, the fashion show organized by LV was no less influential than the major fashion weeks.
By now, the entrance of the Orsay Museum had already gathered media from all around the world, as well as brand ambassadors from every corner…
"Mr. Gu," Livia said, her gaze shifting subtly as she eyed Gu Heng, who stood tall and exuded a discreet aristocratic aura, "I think LV should invite you to be their high-end tailor-made suit spokesperson. You in that suit look just like a gentleman who has stepped out from a painting!"
Livia’s eyes subtly moved as she looked at Gu Heng standing before her, his posture erect and exuding a slight noble air; her lips gently moved as she slowly spoke up, flattering him...
At this moment, Gu Heng was dressed in a pure black suit that tightly fitted his sturdy physique, the loose design at the collar cleverly outlining his resolute necklines, and the length and width of the sleeves perfectly showcasing his slender arms.
Although in terms of facial features, he indeed left a bit to be desired…
But how does the saying go?
"The tailor makes the man."
Gu Heng might only be considered modestly handsome, but coupled with the suit tailor-made by LV for Gu Heng, along with his prolonged luxurious living and the temperament cultivated through interactions with various high-society individuals, he indeed attracted the attention of social elites and media representatives invited to this fashion show…
Although Gu Heng knew Livia was flattering him, who doesn’t like to hear a compliment?
He then said jokingly, "If that’s what you think, I really should talk to the people at LV about the endorsement later."
Livia returned the smile, "Although I believe Mr Gu is the perfect choice for an LV brand ambassador, I think their group will probably not choose you as their spokesperson."
Gu Heng chuckled, "Oh? If you can’t provide a reason, I might just think you were deceiving me just now?"
"Of course, I wasn’t deceiving you, nor do I doubt the judgment of LV’s marketing department,"
"I only wonder if LV could afford your endorsement fee if they chose you, Mr. Gu, to be the spokesperson for their suit collection?
After all, you really are a true super-rich, not like those little stars kneeling at the doors of major brands begging for endorsements."
Gu Heng was momentarily stunned…
He then couldn’t help but laugh heartily and said, "Miss Livia, I must say, I’m growing fonder of you. Why don’t you quit your job at American Express? I guarantee you’ll earn no less than what you make there."
Gu Heng’s expression of liking was genuine…
But it wasn’t romantic affection, more of admiration…
Professionally speaking, over these two days, she had taken meticulous care of his diet, accommodations, and daily excursions; Gu Heng was more than satisfied.
And in terms of emotional intelligence, she was unquestionably adept, managing to take his intentionally nitpicking and turn it around, then switch angles and continue to praise...
This was true professional capability...
Compared to his initial personal secretary, "Xu Ying," whom he hired at 500,000 US Dollar a year, the difference was stark…
She was rigid and utterly inflexible.
It was for this reason that Gu Heng hadn’t brought Xu Ying along on his recent trips…
If possible, Gu Heng indeed wished Livia could become his personal secretary; as for the annual salary of several million US Dollar, it was completely trivial to him.
"It would be my honor to be liked by Mr. Gu,"

Livia only responded to the first part of Gu Heng’s statement, ignoring the latter part…
In the world of adults, not responding is a form of rejection, a concept that Gu Heng understood well…
If Livia were simply a gold-digger, she might have readily agreed the moment Gu Heng offered such conditions…
But clearly, she was not…
Rather than money, she aspired to become a wealth controller like Gu Heng…
It was clear that with Gu Heng’s current status, he could not satisfy her ambitions...
Hearing her response, Gu Heng did not press further and walked towards the red carpet at the entrance of the Orsay Museum… @@novelbin@@
As for Jiang Wen, he had somehow arranged to meet a French supermodel through unknown channels and had hardly gotten out of bed in the last two days; he did not attend the big show, only asking to be notified of the cocktail party held by the LV group after the show ended…
He also disclosed to Gu Heng some details about these international fashion shows…
He told Gu Heng that apart from a few fashion field tycoons making an appearance, not many wealthy people chose to attend; they preferred to attend the cocktail party after the fashion show, and then engage in clearly priced encounters with those international supermodels and top stars…
