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

Chapter 186: Can you also play the violin?

With the restaurant manager looking respectful, Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana walked out of the restaurant.

"Mr. Gu, I look forward to your next visit."

In response to the restaurant manager's words, Gu Heng just smiled faintly without any expression.

Ouyang Nana was still immersed in the bill of 10.75 euros.
He had expected the meal to be expensive, but he didn't expect it to be this expensive.
Although she is well-known in the entertainment industry, she has not acted in many TV dramas, so her salary is not as outrageous as that of Sister Shuangzi. Even in the most popular years, her highest salary was only more than 3000 million. After sharing with the company and paying taxes, it would be considered a lot if there was 1000 million left. But this was still criticized as a sky-high salary.
10.75 euros is equivalent to about 80 yuan in RMB.

In other words, the most money he had ever earned from filming was only enough to buy more than ten meals in Gu Heng's eyes?
The more he thought about it, the more silent Ouyang Nana became.
She had only been with Gu Heng for a few hours, but she had truly experienced the disparity in the world.
Even a star like me who earns tens of millions a year can hardly imagine what Gu Heng's life is like. Ouyang Nana doesn't even dare to think, if she is just an office worker earning a few thousand yuan a month, will she be stimulated to jump off the building because of this strong sense of gap?
But no matter what, after this short time together, Gu Heng's image has become very concrete in Ouyang Nana's mind.
Gu Heng looked at the changing expression in Ouyang Nana's eyes and knew that his repeated display of wealth and pretense had indeed paid off.
But when it comes to picking up girls, you can't just pretend to be cool, you still have to cultivate the most basic feelings. Thinking of this, Gu Heng's voice sounded again, his voice full of tenderness: "It's only a little after 4 o'clock now, and the auction will start in two hours. How about we take advantage of this time to go shopping in Geneva?"

After all, Ouyang Nana is just an ordinary girl born in the 00s. If she were an ordinary girl, she would still be studying in college at this age. Even if she has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and is more realistic than ordinary girls, she is still at an age where she yearns for love.

And what about Gu Heng?

Young and wealthy.

Gentle.

Except for his barely handsome looks, he is the perfect template for a male protagonist straight out of a novel in other aspects. How many girls can resist him?
After Gu Heng's deliberate and unintentional preparations, which cost him 20 to 30 million RMB, it is no exaggeration to say that in Ouyang Nana's heart, he has surpassed most of the opposite sex of the same age.

"Okay!"

"I don't know much about Europe, and I don't know what fun places there are in Geneva. How about you recommend some?"

Ouyang Nana thought about it for a moment, then slowly said, "In fact, Geneva is very small. Compared with famous European cities such as Paris, Rome, and London, there are still very few tourist attractions.

We just came out of the Patek Philippe Salon, so we don’t have to think about the Patek Philippe Museum.

As for the Palais des Nations, I went there once and it was not interesting at all. It was full of political historical materials, and European history in particular, which made people sleepy.

How about we go to St. Peter's Basilica in Geneva? Although St. Peter's Basilica in Geneva is not comparable to St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, it is actually quite good if you want to kill some time while traveling.

The last time I went there was more than ten years ago. I don’t know what it looks like now. How about going to take a look?”

After saying that, he looked at Gu Heng with a questioning look.

And Gu Heng’s response did not disappoint Ouyang Nana.

"Okay, it's up to you."

After receiving Gu Heng's response, Ouyang Nana's chubby little face turned slightly red and she lowered her head.
Gu Heng looked at her shy appearance and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
I didn't seem to have done anything this time? Why was she so shy for no reason?

Gu Heng was too lazy to think about it and took Ouyang Nana to get on the Maybach.
Gu Heng could never have imagined that the reason why Ouyang Nana was shy was because of the few words Gu Heng responded with, "I'll listen to you."
In Ouyang Nana's eyes, Gu Heng had a very high status, and during the short time they had spent together, Gu Heng was a very opinionated person, and no matter what he did, he would not be questioned.
But when it comes to where to go, he not only asks for his opinion, but is also willing to make the decision for him.
This was how she felt that Gu Heng valued her.
This is what women are like. Sometimes you don't have to put in much effort. As long as a man makes her feel good, she will deliberately beautify the other person's image in her mind and even PUA herself until the two of them confirm the relationship.
When the two arrived at St. Peter's Basilica, Gu Heng felt nothing when looking at the classical building in front of him.

The reason is very simple. He has no belief. Whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, or some foreign religions, Gu Heng is not interested at all.

But Ouyang Nana is different. Since coming to St. Peter's Basilica, her whole state has changed, and there is even more piety in her eyes.
Gu Heng looked at her and couldn't help asking, "Are you a Catholic?"

But Ouyang Nana shook her head: "My family and I share the same faith, which is Christianity."

"Then why are you being so solemn?"

Ouyang Nana was silent for a moment, then said as a matter of course: "Although I don't believe in Catholicism, I respect all beliefs, not just in church, even if I go to temples and Taoist temples, it's the same."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng just shrugged casually without any expression.

Ouyang Nana looked at Gu Heng and asked in confusion: "Don't you have any faith?"

"No, what's the point of believing in these things?"

"How could it be useless!"

Facing Ouyang Nana's sudden excited rebuttal, Gu Heng simply said: "My parents are both Buddhists. They go to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of every month. The statue of the Bodhisattva at home is still constantly worshipped.

My father is usually kind to others. Sometimes when he meets a beggar, even if the beggar is fat and white, my father will give him money.

I remember asking my dad when I was a kid why he did this, and he told me: If you don’t really have a hard time, who would be willing to kowtow and kneel down to be a beggar? Do good deeds, and the Bodhisattva will be watching you from heaven, and you will be rewarded in the future.”

Although Ouyang Nana didn't know why Gu Heng suddenly said this, she still responded with admiration: "Then your father must be a devout Buddhist, and a good person."

Gu Heng nodded, without commenting: "Everyone who knows my father feels the same as you do. According to the Buddhist belief that good and evil will be rewarded, my father, who has done good deeds and worshipped Buddha all his life, would at least be free from illness and disaster, even if he is not rich, right?
Do you know how my father got through his life?"

Ouyang Nana asked quickly: "What's the matter?"

"My grandfather died when I was eight years old. My grandmother remarried and took my uncle with her. Although I nominally had an uncle, he never took care of him, and no one in the village helped him. At the age of eight, he became an apprentice to a carpenter. Although I was called an apprentice, I was actually a servant. I had to make fire and cook for others. If I was not satisfied, I would be beaten. All this was for the sake of having a place to live and food to eat.

This situation continued until my dad was a teenager, when he learned a skill and could support himself. Later, because my dad was honest and good at carpentry, the villagers were willing to hire him for work. He was considered an ambitious young man in the surrounding area, so my mom married him and thought that life would get better and better. But after I was born, an accident made my dad a cripple, and he fell ill due to malnutrition and many underlying diseases when he was a child. In the few years when I just had memories, my whole family was supported by my mom. It was not until my dad's health improved that the whole family situation gradually improved.

But even so, my family was the poorest in the village. Because of our poverty, my father was called "Gu Lame" in front of others and "Si Lame" behind his back. "

Gu Heng was like a bystander, with a calm expression and a calm tone as he explained his family affairs. Ouyang Nana, who was listening at the side, could not help but open her mouth with a look of disbelief.

She really couldn't imagine that Gu Heng, who now spends money like water, actually had such a childhood.
Gu Heng's voice continued to ring, and his eyes met hers: "So you say, is faith useful? Instead of believing in these so-called gods and bodhisattvas, it is better to believe that pie will fall from the sky. For example, the probability of a system suddenly falling from the sky is much greater than the so-called god appearing."

"But."

Seeing that Ouyang Nana was about to refute, Gu Heng knew that he couldn't change the minds of believers who had believed for decades with just one sentence, so he interrupted her directly: "I'm just stating the reasons why I don't have faith.

I will not sit around and ask others to give up their beliefs. I respect everyone's ideas equally, as long as they are not irrelevant to me."

"All right."

Ouyang Nana also nodded helplessly.
She also knew that she really had no way to convince Gu Heng, just like Gu Heng had no way to convince herself.
Gu Heng had actually chosen to reconcile with the past pains and no longer cared about them. Otherwise, he would not have told these things to someone he had only known for a short time. So when he saw Ouyang Nana's occasional "feeling sorry for herself" look, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You're not feeling sorry for me, are you?"

Ouyang Nana nodded somewhat embarrassedly
But the next second, the tenderness that Gu Heng had aroused in Ouyang Nana's heart instantly disappeared.
"Feel sorry for me? What do you feel sorry for me? Are you sorry that I spend 100,000 euros on a meal? Or are you sorry that I don't make 100 billion a year?"

Ouyang Nana: "Okay, okay! Pah!"

The original soft gaze disappeared instantly.
That's right.
Who are you to feel sorry for a super-rich person who can spend millions on a meal?
"Okay, okay, I'm kidding you."

"Pooh!"

Just as the two were joking, a melodious piano sound rang out.

Ouyang Nana was born into a musical family and was very sensitive to the sound of music. She quickly spotted a wandering artist in the distance and shouted, "It's a cello!"
Then he took long steps and ran quickly towards the wandering artist.
Gu Heng also followed with his bodyguards.

When Gu Heng walked to Ouyang Nana's side, he saw Ouyang Nana, who had finally squeezed into the crowd, come out again. Gu Heng looked at her disappointed expression and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Ouyang Nana shook her head: "Nothing, I thought that wandering artists who could perform in a place like a church were very talented, but just now I heard two wrong notes in less than a minute, which shows that they are just beginners, nothing good to listen to.

Shall we go inside the church?"

As a top student at Berklee College of Music, she successfully held four "Only & Nana - 2012 Ouyang Nana Cello Recital" concert tours in Taiwan, becoming the youngest performer in the history of Taiwan's "National Concert Hall". Although her musical level cannot be said to be amazing, it is still quite good, so she is certainly qualified to judge.
But Gu Heng was a complete layman in music and couldn't tell the difference between good and bad music. He then showed a teasing expression on his face and said, "I remember you are also studying cello, right? How about you perform for me?"

When talking about her professional talents, Ouyang Nana raised her neck proudly.

He didn't refute when she said her acting was bad.

But if you say that she is not good at playing the cello, she will never admit it.

After hearing what Gu Heng said, and thinking of the wandering cellist who had just been mistakenly heard, Ouyang Nana also said, "Okay, but I didn't bring my cello to Europe. I'll play it for you when I get back home."

"Why do you want to return home? Don't we have a ready-made piano? Do you have any special requirements for playing the instrument?"

"That's not the case, but this is someone's meal, they may not be willing to lend it to me."

Gu Heng smiled and said, "You also said that this is a toy for people to eat. Can't I just make sure he is full?"

After saying that, Gu Heng squeezed directly into the crowd. Under the puzzled eyes of the onlookers and the homeless man playing the cello, he took out all the change of more than 1000 euros on him and threw it into the cello case in front of him. Then he communicated with the homeless man in French.

After hearing what Gu Heng said, the wanderer quickly counted the euros in the violin case.
More than 1300 Euros.
It was enough money to buy his own piano, and the man in front of him just wanted to borrow it, so how could he refuse?

Seeing that the wanderer agreed, Gu Heng also waved to Ouyang Nana who was still standing at the edge of the crowd: "Come on, the stage has been set up for you, and then it's your show."

As someone who had given concerts before, Ouyang Nana certainly would not be afraid of the dozens of onlookers, nor did she mind the dirty homeless people, she directly took over the cello and started tuning it.
Gu Heng was standing there bored, looking around. He happened to see an opened violin next to him, and an idea came to his mind.

Three seconds later, Gu Heng closed his eyes and opened them again, then picked up the violin placed beside him and stood next to Ouyang Nana.

As for the homeless man, he had already received 1300 Euros from Gu Heng, so he would not have any objection.
Ouyang Nana, who had just finished tuning the violin, was slightly startled when she saw Gu Heng walking towards her with his violin in his hand. "What are you doing?"

"It feels a bit boring for you to perform alone, so I'll be there to help you perform."

Ouyang Nana: “???”

"You can also play the violin?!"

"I'm not very good at it, but I know a little bit. I should be able to help you."
