How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

```

It’s no exaggeration to say that if you were online in the 90s or 2000s, there’s no way you wouldn’t know who Xu Song is, and even if you didn’t recognize him, you’d definitely have heard his songs...

And among the young crowd at the venue, there were quite a few die-hard fans of Xu Song...

Suddenly, the entire wedding hall erupted with "holy shit" and the high-pitched screams of girls...

Older folks were all full of question marks in their heads, wondering if this group of young people had lost their minds?

Gu Heng slowly made his exit, handing the stage over to Xu Song, Li Feng, and Zhao Fang, while casually returning the microphone to the emcee, who stood there dumbfounded...

He counted as a veteran emcee...

But this was the first time he encountered such a situation...

Wasn’t he just hosting a wedding? How did a celebrity suddenly pop up?

.... Nôv(el)B\\jnn

....

At Gu Heng’s table, most had taken out their phones to start recording...

While recording, they said, "Gu Heng is awesome... He managed to get Xu Song to the wedding ceremony directly for Li Feng..."

"I never imagined Gu Heng actually knew Xu Song... I wonder if I can get Gu Heng to help me get an autograph later, I’ve been a fan for ten years..."

Li Mengxue watched Xu Song passionately singing on stage, her eyes filled with bitterness...

She also liked Xu Song but couldn’t even get tickets to his concerts normally, and now Gu Heng could get Xu Song himself to come...

The better Gu Heng performed, the more pain she felt inside...

"It’s not necessarily personal acquaintance, Gu Heng might have hired Xu Song for a commercial performance."

"That’s even more impressive, okay? Xu Song might not be as popular as Zhou Jielun or Lin Junjie, but his appearance fee isn’t low, okay? Just to sing a few songs probably costs three to four hundred thousand, right?"

No sooner had they spoken these words than someone at the table directly answered their question...

"Three to four hundred thousand?"

As they spoke, they typed Xu Song’s appearance fee into Baidu and then showed him: "See for yourself? Xu Song’s commercial performance fee is 1.1 million."

"What the heck?!!"

The person who had just spoken squeaked in disbelief...

"1.1 million? That much? My damn 120 sqm apartment in the city center only cost me 850,000... Just for singing a few songs, I can’t even cover it by selling a house..."

"Gu Heng and Li Feng must be really good friends to spend over a million to have Xu Song sing and bless them at their wedding..."

As they said this, they turned envious eyes towards Li Feng...

They were now kicking themselves inside...

Why had they lost touch with Gu Heng after graduating from high school?

If they had maintained a good relationship with him, wouldn’t they be the ones standing on the stage by now?

If a brother can casually spend over a million on a wedding, they didn’t dare to imagine just how wealthy Gu Heng was...

They figured even a single hair from his leg could crush them...

They weren’t the only ones with such thoughts; nearly everyone at the table shared this sentiment to some extent...

In this day and age, having a powerful benefactor to cling to could save so many years of struggle...

Compared to those with regrets, Li Mengxue was the most regretful of all...

Hearing that Gu Heng could so casually spend over a million for Li Feng made her feel worse than if she had swallowed ten tons of shit...

She knew how generous Gu Heng was. Back in high school, he had even saved up his lunch money to buy her a lipstick that cost hundreds of dollars...

If she had stayed with Gu Heng all this time, she didn’t dare to imagine how happy she would have been...

Would she need to work as hard as she did now?

The more Li Mengxue thought about it, the more she felt the injustice...

Her gaze naturally drifted towards Lin Ran, who was mere inches away from her...

The feeling of envy was almost making her dizzy... Although she knew she couldn’t compare to Lin Ran, she still wanted to give it a try...

The more she thought this way, the more determined she became...

Gu Heng had no idea that inviting Xu Song to Li Feng’s wedding could make these people think so much, nor could he have imagined Li Mengxue was so envious that she was losing her mental balance... He just stood quietly at the edge of the stage, watching Xu Song sing one song after another...

Finally...

After more than half an hour...

In the midst of Xu Song’s well-wishes, the 800,000 quota was completely depleted...

The bride Zhao Fang had nearly cried her makeup off...

This was simply the wedding of her dreams...

Li Feng, who hadn’t recovered from the excitement, took the microphone from the emcee’s hand, locking eyes with Gu Heng who was calmly smiling down at him. He finally couldn’t hold back and shed a few tears, "Thank you!"

Unlike when he saw Gu Heng driving a Bentley to meet him, he made no promises like he did back then, saying he’d even take out a loan to rent a Rolls-Royce to lead Gu Heng’s wedding procession.

Although he didn’t know how much Gu Heng had spent to bring Xu Song there.

He was very aware that it was definitely not something he could afford...

He guessed he would never be able to pay it back in this lifetime...

Gu Heng knew what Li Feng was thinking and responded with a calm smile...

If he was seeking something in return from Li Feng, he wouldn’t have bothered with all this; he would have simply gifted a few thousand in cash as a wedding present—simple and convenient. Besides, when his own wedding came around, given Li Feng’s personality, he would probably go broke trying to give an equally substantial gift...

He just wanted to do right by the friendship of their youth...

Because he was very clear that the ship carrying him would continue sailing forward, while they, unless by some miracle, had already run aground on the shallow sands of life.

...

Past one o’clock in the afternoon...

The wedding was almost over...

Gu Heng, having had his fill, turned to Lin Ran and asked, "Did you eat enough?"

Wiping her mouth elegantly with a napkin, Lin Ran nodded gently.

"If you’re full, then let’s get ready to go back. Fengzi will be busy this afternoon. We’ll go back and rest for a bit, and I’ll take you to experience the rural room teasing at night."

Lin Ran herself wasn’t very interested in the room teasing...
