How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 538 - 247 Night Light Script

"What's wrong, not happy?"

As the camera panned to the stage, Gu Heng teased Ouyang Nana in a low voice beside him.

"Are you pretending not to know? How can I be happy? 4 million, that's 4 million! Your family's business is so big that you don't take 4 million seriously, but do you know how hard I worked for this 4 million?!"

"Oh?"

Gu Heng looked puzzled, his tone still laced with teasing, "I really don't know how hard it was. Why don't you tell me?"

"I can barely take home 10 million after tax if I get a major endorsement for two to three years! And you just deprived me of half an endorsement with one sentence! And how many endorsements can one even get? Normally, I just scrape by on TV dramas, which involve getting up early and returning late, not to mention getting criticized for poor acting skills, and then I have to be exploited by a capitalist like you!"

The people around could feel how deep Ouyang Nana's resentment was...

After all, losing 4 million in the blink of an eye, who wouldn't find it unacceptable...

Only a star like Ouyang Nana, who is currently in her heyday with strong money-making capabilities, could possibly endure such a loss. If it had happened to a lesser-known celebrity, it wouldn't necessarily bankrupt them, but it would definitely be a major setback...

Gu Heng, listening to Ouyang Nana's complaints, still had a smile in his eyes.

The current Ouyang Nana was just like how he used to be, complaining about capitalist bosses in the same way...

Indeed...

This world is a giant sweatshop...

No one can escape the exploitation of capitalists...

The only difference is that some are exploited less and some more...

But exploiting a star like Ouyang Nana didn't make Gu Heng feel any guilt at all...

Don't be fooled by how pitiful Ouyang Nana sounded, this group of celebrities made money far too easily, practically like getting a payout from the system. There were countless ones like Ouyang Nana, who have no acting skills to speak of and could still rake in the cash just by their looks...

Feeling sorry for them? That would be insane...

But regardless, he did exploit her this time, and he owed some sort of compensation. He soon spoke up again: "Well, if you don't want to give up that 10 million, that's fine.

I'll pay it myself later, and you can just transfer 700,000 Euros to me afterward.

But are you sure?"

Ouyang Nana was clever and knew there was more to what Gu Heng said...

She quickly caught on...

When the CEO of Wanda Film mentioned earlier that Gu Heng had ventured into the film industry and registered a film company with 2 billion in funding, she was also there.

Why did so many industry seniors hurry over to make a toast? Wasn't it just to familiarize themselves with Gu Heng, hoping he would remember them for future projects?

Opportunities that others could only dream of were laid out right in front of her—how could she miss out?

Ouyang Nana clearly understood that with Gu Heng's status, he would not go back on his word publicly. As long as she transferred 700,000 Euros to Gu Heng, he wouldn't ask her to pay a cent more. However, she also knew that if she did that, she would never have a chance to board Gu Heng's large ship setting sail in the film industry...

At that thought...

Ouyang Nana steeled her heart...

It's just 4 million...

She could consider it an investment!

If she really could board Gu Heng's grand vessel and land a few big productions, she could easily recoup not just 4 million but even 40 million.

She then put on a somewhat proud expression: "You underestimate me. I, Ouyang Nana, am true to my word! I said I would pay, so I will pay! Besides, it's not like I am doing you any favors, the money will be donated to impoverished mountainous areas. I'll also have contributed to national charity.

I'll just have to work harder in the future and earn back this 4 million."

After speaking, she ignored Gu Heng and took a sip of her drink to ease her pain...

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng simply smiled. He believed that Ouyang Nana was a smart woman and would definitely make the choice favorable to her. He then slowly spoke: "Alright, it's just 4 million. Looking at how pained you are by this,

don't worry, in at most a year, I'll make sure these 4 million come back to you at a minimum tenfold return. As for how much you can ultimately earn, that'll depend on your own skill."

With this, the conversation ended.

Gu Heng felt he had made his point clear and shifted his gaze to the stage.

Although Ouyang Nana didn't respond, she was still grateful for her earlier choice...

Had she been petty just now, would she have missed this incredible wealth?

Other celebrities at the table looked at Ouyang Nana with a mix of envy and jealousy. The top stars in the entertainment industry were all aware of Gu Heng's great ship setting sail, and so far, the only person known to have boarded was Ouyang Nana... Could they not be envious?

Yang Hanshu, still with a calm demeanor, had a thoughtful gaze, his thoughts unknowable...

...Time slowly passed...

The auction was nearing its end...

Dozens of collectibles had been auctioned off for prices ranging from a low of 200,000 to a high of over one million. There had been no more acts of extravagant bids like Gu Heng's throwing out 10 million...

Actually, it was quite normal...

After all, it was not an official auction.

It was simply a charity event, where most items were personal belongings donated by celebrities, which weren't worth much money. If it weren't for the chance to make an appearance, let alone 200,000, most people present probably wouldn't even want the items if they were given away for free...
