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

Chapter 177 Class Discrimination
"Mr. Gu, are you here specifically to attend our LV fashion show? How long do you plan to stay in France?"

Frederic Arnaud, with his pockmarked face, was very talkative. The two of them were seated very close to each other, and he kept leaning towards Gu Heng while they were talking, which made Gu Heng a little uncomfortable.
It's really too enthusiastic.
The enthusiasm was so great that Gu Heng could hardly accept it.
You should know that France and the United Kingdom are among the countries with the largest number of gay men in Europe. For this reason, Gu Heng just searched Frédéric Arnault's private life and found that he is a high-end version of Principal Wang, with a series of love histories. The only difference is that unlike Principal Wang, he does not only look for internet celebrities, but internationally renowned stars.

For example, American actress Jennifer Lawrence and British actress Emma Watson are top stars in the Western entertainment industry, but their taste seems to have declined recently. They found a member of a Korean girl group who dances striptease.
It’s not that Gu Heng wants to know about Frederic Arnault
I just want to know if this guy is gay.
If he was a gay, let alone the son of the richest man, even if he was the richest man himself, Gu Heng would stay away from him.
Now that it was confirmed that Frederic Arnault was not gay, Gu Heng didn’t mind his enthusiasm so much and responded with a smile: “Just call me Gu Heng.

I have not made any plans on how long I will stay in France. I may stay for a few days and then leave. If I am happy, I will stay longer and even settle down here.”

"settle down?"

Gu Heng nodded slightly: "I am going abroad this time with the intention of traveling around the world and buying some international properties."

These are what Gu Heng was thinking. When he was in China, Gu Heng learned about foreign manors. They were simply incomparable to the villas in China. If possible, he would also purchase some manors of his own around the world. Even if he didn't live in them, just keeping them there would be a hidden investment.

This is because he doesn't have enough money. If his assets allow, he even plans to buy a small island and build it into a paradise. Then he can enjoy himself on the island with his group of women.
Frédéric Arnault blinked with some envy when he heard this.

"I have always wanted to experience a round-the-world trip, but I have never had the chance. Even if I have been to other countries, it was because of work. I have no time to enjoy the pleasure of traveling. I envy you."

This is the difference between this super rich second generation and Gu Heng.
Although Frédéric Arnault enjoys the benefits given to him by the Arnault family, he must bear the corresponding responsibilities. At the age of 29, he became a director of the LVHM Group and the president of the group's subsidiary brand TAG Heuer. This may be an unattainable height in the eyes of most people, but for Frédéric Arnault, it is not something to be happy about.
Too heavy a burden
too tired.
What about Gu Heng?
He did not need to assume any obligations, and the system never gave him any mandatory tasks. Even if he founded a company, it was only because he lived in human society and had to do so. However, the money he could spend was not reduced at all.
Typical anti-core values, getting something for nothing.
So compared to Frédéric Arnault, both are young wealthy men, but Gu Heng is much freer.
It is not known whether Frédéric Arnault was being Versailles or was truly envious. Gu Heng could only smile faintly and say no more.

Gu Heng and Frederic Arnault chatted casually for about ten minutes, and the 2024 LV fashion show officially opened with soothing music.
"Fred, as the host, aren't you going to speak on stage?"

Frédéric Arnault smiled and shook his head: "The LV brand business is not under my management. The LV brand business is managed by my brother. If I intervene, it would be an overstepping of my duties.

Today I came to this show just to make friends with you, so now my status is the same as yours, we are both just spectators of this show."

Gu Heng nodded and didn't continue gossiping.
Although he really wanted to know whether the five children of the LV Group President all worked in the LV Group and whether there would be any power struggles like in ancient times, he had just met Frédéric Arnault after all, and if he suddenly asked this question, he would probably misunderstand him, so he just kept his mouth shut and watched the show peacefully.
The seats where Gu Heng and Frédéric Arnault sat had the best view of the entire show.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Heng could clearly see these models wearing strange clothes and walking on the catwalk to show off their figures.
But Gu Heng really couldn't figure out one thing
That is, there are so many beautiful women in the world, but why are there so few beautiful women among those top supermodels?
Especially the West.
Let's not talk about beauties.
Those top models are uglier than each other except for their figures.
Just like this LV fashion show, Gu Heng was originally quite looking forward to it, but when he saw the models appearing, his heart immediately sank.
Each one is more bizarre than the other.
In addition to the black models that Gu Heng could not accept, Gu Heng also saw many Asian faces.
But looking at those Asian models with prominent cheekbones and squinty eyes, Gu Heng became more and more disgusted.
With such quality, let alone spending money to spend a night with them, even if they pay me, I am not interested.
Frédéric Arnault saw Gu Heng frowning and asked him in confusion, "What's wrong? Gu Heng, are you not satisfied with our LV's new products this season?"

As a country boy, how could Gu Heng understand luxury goods like LV?
Although he did think that these strange designs looked weird on people, he certainly wouldn't complain about the new products of LV Master in front of him.
Then he shook his head and said, "I'm a little confused. Why don't you hire some prettier models for your LV fashion show? Instead, you hire these ugly ones?"

Frédéric Arnault: “.”

Frédéric Arnault was speechless for a moment, then he smiled helplessly and asked, "Gu Heng, you probably rarely watch fashion shows, right?"

Gu Heng did not hide it and nodded: "This is the first time."

“There is actually a very fundamental difference between a fashion show and a model show.

That is, model shows focus more on the model's figure and appearance, but fashion shows focus on letting the models bring out the beauty of the fashion.

To be honest, fashion models are usually chosen based on their body shape and graphic effects. The models selected are mostly girls who will not steal the clothes' space and can highlight the clothes' advantages. Because of this positioning, it is difficult for them to have particularly outstanding makeup, which ultimately leads to the fact that fashion models are generally not very good-looking.

As for the fact that people often say that they don’t understand the aesthetic taste of the upper class, it’s actually very funny.

After all, we sell clothes, so we won't do such stupid things as looking for models whose looks outshine the clothes. If we really want to find one, we can certainly find it, but if we really do this, then rich men will only chase after models instead of buying clothes for their wives.

If you, Gu Heng, want to see beautiful models, I can invite you to watch the next Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The supermodels of Victoria's Secret are all beautiful girls with beautiful figures. "

As he spoke, Frederick Arnault seemed to think of his previous experience and couldn't help swallowing.
After listening to the explanation, Gu Heng was stunned for a moment.
OK OK.
Love is just a big show, but there are so many twists and turns in it, right?

Wouldn't that mean I came here in vain?
With the quality of these models, it is no exaggeration to say that Gu Heng couldn't even get hard.
As if he had noticed what Gu Heng was thinking, Frederick Arno patted Gu Heng's shoulder and said, "Are you worried that you won't be able to find someone you're interested in at the cocktail party?"

Seeing that Gu Heng did not deny it, Frederic Arnault continued to smile and said, "Don't worry, in addition to a few models from this show, the cocktail party will also have more celebrities from the entertainment industry, as well as ladies and socialites from the upper class invited by our LV Group.

Except for a few famous models, the rest of these models are not eligible to attend our LV cocktail party."

Gu Heng felt relieved after hearing this and continued to watch the show.
After more than an hour, the female model's show has come to an end.
Next up is the runway show for LV brand spokespersons and brand ambassadors from various countries.
Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Connelly, Alicia Vikander, Léa Seydoux, Emma Stone, Jung Ho-yeon, Cate Blanchett, these are the top stars in other countries
Every time someone appeared, Frédéric Arnault would introduce himself in his ear.
Among these people, there are real Oscar winners, and almost every one of them is a well-known figure in the international entertainment industry. It is almost impossible for any company to gather all of them and have them walk on the catwalk honestly, except for LV, the global luxury giant.
In comparison, stars like Song Qian and Ouyang Nana, who are somewhat famous in the Asian entertainment industry but have not made much of a splash internationally, are far behind. Even the cameras of reporters don't spend much time on them.
On the contrary, Liu Yifei has been in Hollywood for a few years and has also won a Disney movie "Mulan" with a heroine, which makes her a little famous internationally.
But Gu Heng always felt that when these stars were walking on the catwalk, they would look at him from time to time.
At first, Gu Heng thought it was an illusion, but as he looked more and more, he couldn't help but glance at Frédéric Arnault who was putting an arm on his shoulder, and he roughly understood what was going on.
Just like Jiang Wen said
Why did these stars come to participate in this show?
Don’t you just want to see if there is any big guy who can exchange resources with you?
Exchanging physical resources for economic resources and social resources is also a resource exchange.
To put it bluntly, I'm here to fish for kaizi.
Among so many people present, who is the biggest sucker?

Without a doubt, it was Frédéric Arnault who was sitting next to him.

It was precisely because Frédéric Arnault was the biggest rich man that he also attracted a lot of attention. Maybe he thought that since he was so close to Frédéric Arnault, he must be a rich man too.
But being treated as a fool, Gu Heng was not angry
Instead, I couldn't help but thank Frédéric Arnault in my heart. If I could make these actresses have a better impression of me, I would have to work less at the party later.
This was the first time that Gu Heng attended such an upper-class orgy party.
If you can skip a few steps, that would be best.
A few minutes later, as the last female star left the stage, the entire T stage became empty.
Frédéric Arnault stood up, patted Gu Heng on the shoulder and said, "The next half hour will be a male model fashion show. I don't think you will be interested, Gu Heng. Why don't we go to the wine party estate first?
These actresses and socialites will also go there in advance to prepare.”

Gu Heng also stood up after hearing this.
The one-hour-plus fashion show for female models is torture for me, not to mention the fashion show for male models.
Even without Frédéric Arnault's proposal, Gu Heng would have found a reason to leave. Now that he could go to the reception venue in advance, Gu Heng was even more excited.
"Will these male models also attend the cocktail party later?"

Just as Gu Heng and Frédéric Arnault were about to leave surrounded by bodyguards, they saw tall male models walking from the backstage to the catwalk and starting the show.

Compared to female models, these male models are much more handsome
Full of sexual tension.
At first glance, it's the kind of person who has a big penis and is good at sex.
Frederic Arno smiled when he heard Gu Heng's words, put his arm around Gu Heng's shoulder and walked outside, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Of course, it's not just these male models who will participate.

Our LV Group also invites many new male models, including male artists who have a certain reputation in the entertainment industry.

After all, not all rich people in this world are men. There are also many wealthy women, and the audience of our LV brand is mostly wealthy women.

We men like beautiful women, so don’t they like handsome men?

As the initiator of this event, our LV Group will certainly not discriminate based on gender and will certainly provide good service to every member invited to attend this fashion show.”

Gu Heng listened to his words, smiled and shook his head
There is indeed no gender discrimination
But class discrimination is on full display.
These supermodels and stars who look glamorous in front of outsiders, when they arrive at this so-called high-class party, seem to become commodities for the upper-class rich to choose from.
Although these are selected by the stars and supermodels themselves, it is still essentially a dirty drinking party where the lower class pleases the upper class.
But even with this kind of opportunity, ordinary people don't even have the chance to be a service provider, let alone a beneficiary of the reception.
If it were the old Gu Heng, he would probably strongly condemn this behavior.
But now
He just wants to enjoy the pleasure of being rich and having the whole world serve him.
There is something to say
The boy who slays the dragon eventually becomes a dragon
Now that I have become a member of this class, how could I possibly do something against myself?
