Chapter 188: Ouyang Nana's Attack

How big is the influence of the Internet today in 2024?
The answer is that any slight disturbance on the Internet will immediately explode at the speed of wildfire.

Switzerland, like France, is 7 time zones behind China, and 6 time zones behind during daylight saving time. Now it is 6 pm in Geneva, while in China, it is already 12 midnight.
It has been an hour since Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana left St. Peter's Basilica, and a hot search is skyrocketing on Weibo's hot search rankings at a crazy momentum.
#Ouyang Nana's new relationship is confirmed! She traveled to Geneva with her boyfriend outside the entertainment industry and performed a street ensemble performance#
The hot search content is the video of the two playing together in St. Peter's Square an hour ago.
The visitor who uploaded the video did not expect that his video would become popular so quickly. In less than an hour, the number of likes exceeded 50,000, and even the number of comments exceeded five digits.
Strawberry Bear: "Wow, Ouyang Nana's boyfriend is so amazing too? He plays the violin really well. Is he a classmate of Ouyang Nana? Is he also from Berklee College of Music?"

Mi Lao@Music: "I have studied violin for 10 years. I am a third-year student majoring in alto violin and I am at level 8. I should be qualified to speak, right? This boy who plays the violin definitely reaches the performance level standard, and it is a serious performance level standard.

By the way, for those who don't understand, Ouyang Nana's cello level is at most level 10 in our grading system, which is not at the performance level at all. I think you can understand it now, right?"

"No, the person above, what are you discussing? Now that Ouyang Nana's love affair has been exposed, you are focusing on her boyfriend's violin level? Those who are not gossiping, get out of here! Don't delay my eating melon!"

"Why do I feel like this guy looks familiar? Have I seen him somewhere before?"

“I don’t know more information, I just used Baidu Image Recognition to identify this man, and he is the mysterious young wealthy man named Gu who spent more than 200 million yuan at the Beijing Auto Show, and he is also a Peking University alumnus.

This feeling should be correct. Since Ouyang Nana’s boyfriend is not from the entertainment industry, he must be a second-generation rich man. Waiting for someone to reveal more gossip! "

For a time, not only Ouyang Nana was mentioned, but Gu Heng was also dug out.

Fortunately, Gu Heng is relatively low-key. Apart from his speech and donations at Peking University and his indulgence at the Beijing Auto Show, there is no gossip to expose. Therefore, netizens have been focusing on Ouyang Nana. Many netizens have already commented and asked questions under Ouyang Nana's Weibo.
As more and more comments were posted, the poster of the video also responded in the comment area: "I just ran into Ouyang Nana in Geneva. I don't know if they are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. The title was guided by the official Weibo and marketing account!"

Gu Heng, who was far away in Geneva, had no idea about all this.
Although Ouyang Nana received several calls from her agent, she hung up all of them because she was sitting with Gu Heng, and finally muted her phone.
When they returned to the Patek Philippe Salon, the agent saw Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana getting off the car at the same time, and hurriedly walked up with a sullen face. He first smiled politely at Gu Heng, then pulled Ouyang Nana aside.
"Hey, I have something to say now. Come here and I'll talk to you."

In the past, Ouyang Nana was quite obedient, but today, in the eyes of the agent, she didn't know what was wrong with her. She showed a bit of impatience on her face, shook off the agent's hand and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I still have to go to the auction."

broker:"???"

Listening to Ouyang Nana's words, the agent couldn't help but have a question mark appearing in his head.

This young lady went out to have a meal alone with Mr. Gu in front of her and spent a few hours together. Could it be that she was brainwashed into falling in love?
Ouyang Nana ignored the confusion on her agent's face and spoke again: "If you don't want to tell me now, wait until I come out."

As he said this, he was about to go into the Patek Philippe Salon with Gu Heng to attend the regular auction.

At this time, the agent didn't care that Gu Heng was right next to him, and he came to Ouyang Nana with his phone, looking angry and helpless, "Auntie, do you know what happened just now?
You've become a trending topic! The fan group is going crazy now. The PR department of the domestic studio just called me more than a dozen times and asked you to post a Weibo post to clarify. Can you please stop being so willful?

Your new drama "Ice and Snow Ballad" is about to be released, and the investor is Tencent Video. They had originally planned to hype you up as a couple with the male lead in the new drama to increase the popularity and publicity. But now with this incident, it's hard to even promote it.

If you don't clarify this matter and resolve it through public relations, and offend such a big investor as Tencent, do you still want to take on acting roles in the future?"

No wonder the agent is anxious.
In fact, it is not a big deal for celebrities to fall in love these days.
Just like Ouyang Nana, there are no less than two digits of male stars who have been hyped up with her, such as Four-Character Brother, Liu Haoran, and Chen Weiting, who are all first-line stars now.
Every time a CP is hyped up, it brings a short-term buzz to both parties, but fans of both parties strongly oppose it.
But who cares what the fans think?
After all, those who understand know that fans in fan clubs are just leeks in the eyes of capital. They should just wait to be harvested. What qualifications do they have to speak?

If the agent was just worried about what the fans would think, there would be no need to be so anxious. But this time it is different. If the promotion of Tencent Video is hindered this time, it will offend the most popular and powerful entertainment capital in the country.

If they have a falling out, she may not be banned, but it may be difficult for Ouyang Nana to get acting jobs in the future. After all, Ouyang Nana doesn't have much acting skills and relies entirely on fan traffic. However, there are many female celebrities who have higher fan traffic than her. If Ouyang Nana is gone, someone will immediately take her place.

The agent felt that he had made the problem serious enough and once again planned to take Ouyang Nana away to deal with the matter.

But this time.
Ouyang Nana didn't even let her touch him, and directly dodged the agent, frowning and saying, "Can't we just handle it the same way as before? Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Auntie, this time is different. In the past, the hype was all based on hearsay and the marketing accounts made up some nonsense.

This time you are blaming Mr. Gu! This is all confirmed, can the previous PR method handle it?! Of course, both parties need to come out to clarify!"

As he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Gu Heng.
Gu Heng smiled upon hearing this. He knew that Ouyang Nana, the agent, was hinting at him, so he said calmly, "If you need my help to clarify, I'll apply for a Weibo account later. However, I don't have time for now. I need to wait until the auction is over."

The agent's eyes lit up when she heard Gu Heng's words. She could yell at Ouyang Nana, but she didn't dare to be disrespectful to Gu Heng, so she could only hint at Gu Heng from the side.

However, she did not expect Gu Heng to be so considerate, so she quickly thanked him, "It would be great if Mr. Gu could help clarify this. I would like to thank Mr. Gu."

Gu Heng waved his hand lightly, looking nonchalant, indicating that it was okay.

But Ouyang Nana, who had been standing aside, became a little unhappy when she heard the word "clarification".

Seeing the indifferent expression on Gu Heng's face again, my heart trembled.

Her current affection for Gu Heng can be said to have far exceeded the passing line, and she has even begun to care about how Gu Heng thinks of her. Originally, celebrities in the entertainment industry had no status in the eyes of various wealthy people and bigwigs. Now her agent said in front of Gu Heng that she needed to hype up CP and gossip with others. Isn't the agent's behavior equivalent to pointing at her nose and saying "You, Ouyang Nana, are not worthy of Gu Heng?"

Girls are sensitive by nature, and the indifference on Gu Heng's face ignited Ouyang Nana's emotions, causing her to ask impatiently, "What do you mean by clarification? What did I do that needs clarification? Why should I explain my private life to others?
As for Tencent, if they are willing to cooperate, they will cooperate. If they are not willing to cooperate, they will not cooperate in the future. Why should I cooperate with them to hype CP? Does the contract mean that I have to sell my reputation to help them create profits?

When I was working at Yi Xin Entertainment, I had to accept the company's unconditional arrangements. Now that I have terminated the contract and set up my own studio, I still have to accept such arrangements?!"

The agent seemed to have seen Ouyang Nana so angry for the first time, and he knew that what he had just said was a bit harsh, so he quickly comforted her, "It's not like that.

Look, you are a public figure, there are some things you really can’t do as you please.

I know you are upset about the studio's decision, but how about we suppress this rumor first and discuss it later?"

But Ouyang Nana's face was frighteningly cold at this time, and she responded without hesitation: "Leave this matter to the public relations department to handle. If you can suppress it, suppress it. If you can't suppress it, forget it. You can handle it however you want to, and you don't need to say hello to me."

"But."

The agent wanted to say something else, but Ouyang Nana didn't give her the chance: "No need to say buts or buts. If you can do it, then do it. If not, I will ask the studio director to find a new agent and PR team."

boom!
After hearing what Ouyang Nana said, the agent's brain exploded.
She has been serving as Ouyang Nana's agent since the time when she was in Yi Xin Entertainment. When Ouyang Nana set up a studio, she naturally came to Ouyang Nana's studio and also got 3% of the studio's options.

It was precisely because of their good relationship that she dared to be so brazen in public today and wanted to take Ouyang Nana away, not caring about Ouyang Nana's boss's identity at all.
But she never expected that Ouyang Nana would actually say something like "If you can do it, do it. If you can't, leave."
Then he looked into Ouyang Nana's eyes with an incredible look on his face.
But Ouyang Nana ignored her and walked straight to Gu Heng's side.

Gu Heng had no desire to continue eating melons, so he took Ouyang Nana into the Patek Philippe Salon and, under the guidance of Nicole Karaman, walked towards the auction room on the 4th floor.
It's called an auction, but in fact it's more like a tea party.

As soon as you enter the auction room, in addition to the densely packed auction chairs at the front, the most common thing you see is a dozen or so soft-seat sofas arranged in an orderly manner, and each sofa position is equipped with coffee and desserts.

As for the number of people participating in the auction, it didn't seem like there were many, probably only a few dozen people.

After all, this is just a routine Patek Philippe auction, held twice a month, so naturally not many people will come.

Inviting Gu Heng to sit on the reserved sofa, Nicole Karaman explained: "The number of people at this auction is actually quite large. In the past, only 10 to 20 people attended the auction. Even if there are watches that really want to be auctioned, they are usually only auctioned online.

Today, a 6002G-001 Sky Moon Tourbillon watch that has been treasured for several years will appear. According to auction practice, this watch will be displayed for 30 minutes after the auction.

Most of these members come to see one of our most proud watches, the 6002G-001 Sky Moon Tourbillon."

Gu Heng heard this and asked Nicole Karaman with doubt: "Then why didn't you tell me that there would be this 6002G-001 Astronomical Tourbillon watch today?"

Nicole Karaman quickly explained, "The regular auction was only held in our salon. It was operated by the group, not under my management, so I didn't pay much attention to it before. It was only this afternoon that I specifically inquired about it and found out that the 6002G-001 Astronomical Tourbillon watch was among the items for auction."

After saying that, he took out the exhibition pictures of today's auction items.

Gu Heng took a quick look.

There are a total of 7 pictures in the exhibition, which means there are seven lots to be auctioned.

The watches that can be auctioned are of course valuable, but none of them meet my aesthetic taste.
Either they are extremely tacky or extremely ugly.

If it weren't for the Patek Philippe brand backing them up, Gu Heng doubted that even if these watches were sold for tens of thousands of dollars, no one would want them, let alone put them up for auction.
It was not until Gu Heng saw the last item that his eyes lit up.

A watch with exquisite and luxurious shape and full of ancient atmosphere appeared in front of Gu Heng.

As if sensing the love in Gu Heng's eyes, Nicole Karaman said quickly: "Mr. Gu, this is the 6002G-001 Astronomical Tourbillon watch I told you about. It is the best Patek Philippe watch on par with the 6300/400G-001 watch you like. Moreover, it is limited to three pieces worldwide. Its value is not inferior to the 6300/400G-001, and it may even be better in terms of rarity.

If the owner is not in a hurry to sell it, this watch will usually only be seen at large auctions such as Christie's and Sotheby's."

Gu Heng nodded slightly when he heard this.

Limited to 3 pieces worldwide.
I guess it’s worth tens of millions. In comparison, the watch I bought before is just a little bit inferior.

At this time, Frederick, Nicholas and Dugu also came to the auction room. After seeing Gu Heng, they greeted him with a smile. After seeing Ouyang Nana beside Gu Heng, they did not come over to act as a light bulb, but sat on their own sofa under the arrangement of the staff.
