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

Over the next hour and a half,

Nicole Carman and Gu Heng nearly finished touring the entire Patek Philippe Salon in Geneva.

The attendants following behind had increased from the initial two to three, four, until there were precisely five.

As for why so many were following, of course, it was to carry boxes and hold watches for Gu Heng...

Ouyang Nana, witnessing the procession of five servants, couldn’t help but feel a tremor in her heart and swallowed hard...

She knew that Gu Heng had spent over two hundred million at the station buying more than a dozen supercars, but that was all learned from the news. Not having experienced it personally, she couldn’t directly feel Gu Heng’s lavishness...

But today was different...

As a companion throughout, she truly witnessed Gu Heng’s buying process...

If he fancied a watch, he didn’t ask for the price, and even skipped trying it on because it was too much trouble, simply instructing it to be packed up...

This was Patek Philippe after all...

It’s no exaggeration to say that each watch qualified to be displayed was comparable to a luxury car, some even to ten, or dozens of cars...

Gu Heng’s behavior caused Ouyang Nana’s perception of consumption to completely collapse...

As a celebrity in the vanity fair of the entertainment circle, she knew quite a few rich people and had seen many a wealthy heir, but she had never met someone like Gu Heng who didn’t even regard money as money, leaving her unable to even form an opinion...

"Mr. Gu Heng, the total price for these five watches is 1.57 million Euros, with the most expensive being this 1993 Release of the Grand Complications Series 5016R-001 wristwatch, priced at 655,000 Euros."

As she spoke, she was about to offer Gu Heng another look at the watch already placed in its box.

However, Gu Heng didn’t even lift an eyelid and said directly, "No need to show me; you’ve already measured my wrist size once, just adjust the strap according to that standard."

Nicole Carman hurriedly responded, "Very well, sir. Although the watches have been on display for a while and we regularly maintain them, for your shopping experience, we still need to have our most professional Patek Philippe watch maintainer perform a comprehensive maintenance, which will take about 3 hours."

Gu Heng glanced at the time; it was a little past two in the afternoon...

According to Nicole Carman, the watches would be maintained just in time for Patek Philippe’s routine auction. Thinking of this, Gu Heng simply said, "That’s fine, notify me after the maintenance is done."

"Of course."

As she said this, she looked respectfully towards Gu Heng’s chest, waiting for his next move...

Gu Heng also understood immediately; this was the signal to pay...

He then took out the American Express Company’s black card and handed it to the nearest attendant.

Having worked at Patek Philippe for many years, Nicole Carman had seen quite a few black cards and was naturally not too surprised, but still, her respect for Gu Heng increased another notch.

Her previous respect for Gu Heng was because of Frederick Arnault.

But now, the respect was purely because of Gu Heng’s own capabilities.

"Mr. Gu, please wait a moment."

With that, Nicole Carman quickened her pace to personally process Gu Heng’s payment.

Ouyang Nana, who had been silent for so long, finally spoke up, "Gu Heng, do you always shop like this?"

Gu Heng played dumb, "How so?" @@novelbin@@

"Just so casual."

1.57 million Euros, Ouyang Nana had quickly converted the amount in her head, which was equivalent to 12 million RMB...

In her best three years, she had made 90 million, and although her popularity wasn’t as high now, she could still make over ten million a year, rightly a little rich lady. Otherwise, why would she come to Patek Philippe to buy a gift for her mother?

But wealth is all relative...

Compared to ordinary people, or even to the elite earning millions a year, she was certainly wealthy...

But compared to Gu Heng, she was just a poor person...

After all, Gu Heng’s single expenditure equaled her annual income...

"They’re just little trinkets for everyday wear, why be so picky? It’s not necessary."

His words were indeed brimming with arrogance, but what he said was the truth...

Perhaps once, Gu Heng might have thought Patek Philippe was some ultimate luxury, but to the current Gu Heng, it really was just a daily trinket, not something to fuss over.

It’s like LV’s haute couture, costing hundreds of thousands, which might seem incredible to the average person, but to the current Gu Heng, it’s just everyday attire, nothing that demands careful attention—if displeased, just get another set.

It’s all about a major upgrade in consumption perception.

Ouyang Nana’s face fell on hearing this...

For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond to Gu Heng...

Even though what Gu Heng said seemed off, why did it make so much sense that she couldn’t refute it?

Seeing her silent, Gu Heng spoke again, "You’ve been helping me pick for an hour, as a token of my appreciation, how about I treat you to a meal?"

Ouyang Nana subconsciously wanted to shake her head to decline, but when she lifted her gaze to Gu Heng’s face, which bore a friendly smile, her body made the opposite gesture and she found herself nodding involuntarily...

Gu Heng, of course, noticed Ouyang Nana’s actions; although his expression didn’t change, he was very clear inside.
