Your journey continues on novelbuddy
As for why Gu Heng wasn’t showing off and displaying superiority here, he simply didn’t want to crush Ouyang Nana’s spirit; surely he couldn’t just tell her that her celebrity status was practically useless, right?
That would be too demoralizing...
With that said, he walked into the store with two bodyguards close by, while the other bodyguards waited outside the restaurant...
Upon entering, he simply gave the reservation name, and the restaurant, which initially had only a normal waiter welcoming them, immediately switched to the restaurant manager.
Under the manager’s guidance, Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana sat in the center of the empty restaurant...
The manager also took over the waiter’s duties, personally handing the menus to Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana.
Facing a menu written entirely in French without any pictures, Gu Heng got a bit flustered; then, feigning nonchalance, he pushed the menu aside and asked the restaurant manager in French for today’s recommendations.
"Mr. Gu, our restaurant doesn’t offer individual dishes, as you must have already seen on the menu; all our dishes are served as part of set menus," the manager said.
Gu Heng didn’t respond, but looked at the manager’s face, signaling him to continue.
"I suppose, Mr. Gu, you might not be interested in our regular set menus. How about I have the chef use today’s best ingredients from the kitchen to prepare a special French set meal for the both of you?"

"That would be fine."
"Very well, sir. Please wait a moment. The dining time will be around 100 minutes, with the first dish served to you in 20 minutes."
Having had French meals for a few days, he knew that French dining was all about delay; a 100-minute meal was considered quick. More outrageously, some meals took four hours...
Until the restaurant manager departed, Ouyang Nana then asked, "Gu Heng, what were you talking with the restaurant manager about?"
"He said this restaurant doesn’t offer individual dishes, only set menus, so I asked him to arrange two chef’s set meals."
"A chef’s set meal? You didn’t even ask about the price?"
Ouyang Nana’s volume increased slightly, but then she suddenly remembered that sitting in front of her was Gu Heng, a man who could spend 1.57 million Euros without batting an eye; indeed, he had the privilege of not asking about the price of a meal...
But Gu Heng seemed slightly bewildered, "Really? Is it that expensive here?"
Ouyang Nana nodded, "Not just expensive, super expensive! The set menus here come in several tiers; the top level is the chef’s set meal you mentioned, priced at 12,500 Euros!"
Even though Gu Heng wasn’t the slightest bit perturbed by the price, he still feigned a surprised expression in sync with Ouyang Nana.
Having played the role of the braggart for so long, Gu Heng was very experienced...
Show off in areas completely unreachable or on a level the other party can’t match; this heightens your stature in a woman’s eyes, just like the spending at the Patek Philippe Salon clearly left an impression of extravagance in the mind of Ouyang Nana.
But also be humble about things she could relate to; that would make you appear more approachable, easing communication and not making you seem untouchable.
A balance of tension and relaxation, giving and taking, elevating and grounding, deepening and shallowing—all these are learned from experience!
Ouyang Nana had thought that Gu Heng would be indifferent to the price, but his response made her see him not only as a spender but also approachable, nodding her head repeatedly, "Exactly! A meal costing tens of thousands, if it’s not good, I’m definitely complaining about this restaurant on Weibo!"
