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

Chapter 136 Is Gu Heng so powerful now?

"How is it? How many more did you add?"

Li Haibin chatted with several internet celebrities for several minutes. Only after they left did Gu Heng walk up to him and asked with a smile.

“All added.”

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "All added? Can you handle it? These women are ruthless and ruthless."

Li Haibin smiled bitterly and said, "But I haven't agreed yet. I plan to reject them all later."

"?"

Seeing the confusion on Gu Heng's face, Li Haibin continued to laugh at himself and said, "These girls are not coming for me, they are just coming for your Bugatti. To put it bluntly, the one they really want to add your contact information is you. I can deceive them for a while now, but can I deceive them forever? Sooner or later, they will know that I am a loser, and I can't do such a thing as cheating for sex."

"You are so hypocritical!"

After hearing this, Gu Heng frowned and cursed without hesitation.

Li Haibin was not angry when he was scolded, he just smiled innocently.

Unlike Gu Heng, a scumbag who is born with little sense of morality, his childhood friends, whether Li Haibin, Li Feng or Song Hua, are all honest people.

It's okay for them to spend some money and have fun while they are single, but I don't think any of them would be able to get laid.

But it's normal.
If I could really do something like cheating for sex, I wouldn't be a dead bootlicker.

"Actually, I know what you mean."

"Then tell me what I mean?"

Li Haibin looked back at Wang Lulu who was still in the store and said with a smile, "You want to tell me that as long as I have money, there will be countless girls who will come to me without me having to lick them, right?"

It seems that my childhood friend's brain is not completely damaged and he can understand my good intentions.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not lick you anymore in the future. I will make good money! Let her lick me!"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Gu Heng was quite relieved.
Song Hua's scolding was not in vain.
But when he heard the second half of the sentence, Gu Heng's blood pressure soared and he resisted the urge to slap him.

"That's all you can do! If you have money, you can't find any woman. Why do you have to hang yourself on a crooked tree?"

Hearing Gu Heng's complaints, Li Haibin responded a little aggrievedly: "I'm not you. You are so rich and drive a supercar worth tens of millions. Of course, there are a bunch of beautiful women kneeling down to lick your ass. It's no problem to change one every day.

But I'm different. I'm just a screw driver in a factory. In the future, at most I can be a line leader or a team leader. Even if I work 24 hours a day and get double the salary, those girls just now will still look down on me.

Besides, I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Wang Lulu. Hundreds of thousands of dollars is nothing to you, but I have to go without food and drink for two years to save up. I have spent so much, what else can I do if I don’t hang on to a crooked tree? Is it just a waste of money? "

Gu Heng fell silent for a moment.
I have always considered the problem from my perspective, but ignored the reality.
Why do most men who bootlick die hanging on a tree? Is it because they don’t want to have many wives and concubines?
The answer is definitely no.
It's not that they don't want to, it's that they have no choice.
On the one hand, their own conditions are poor, but they are unwilling to spend their whole life with an ordinary partner, and want to find a better partner. Their status is not equal from the beginning, so it is natural for them to become a bootlicker.
On the other hand, there are sunk costs.

Just like Li Haibin, he has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Wang Lulu. If he doesn't continue to lick her, wouldn't that be a pure loss?

For a man working as a screwdriver in a factory, how many hundreds of thousands of dollars can he squander in his lifetime?

Thinking of this, Gu Heng's voice became low: "How much money can you make in your lifetime as a screwdriver in a factory? Even if you get promoted to a line leader or a team leader, your monthly salary is probably only over 10,000 yuan at best? Why would you let her come back and lick your ass?"

Li Haibin smiled, his smile full of helplessness.

"If there is really no other way, then go on a blind date and find a similar woman to spend the rest of your life with. It's not just me who lives this way, isn't it the same for everyone? Ordinary people have their own way of living."

"Willingly?"

"Give me a cigarette." After asking Gu Heng for a cigarette, Li Haibin lit it with a one-dollar lighter and continued calmly, "Who would be willing to do that? If you don't believe me, ask the workers on the street. Who doesn't want to drive a sports car and live in a mansion like you?
Whether you are willing or not is one thing, whether you have the ability to change is another.

Let's be realistic. How many people in this world can be like you, Hengzi?"

After taking a deep breath, Gu Heng finally made a decision and said slowly, "You and Xiaohua should quit your jobs."

Song Hua had been standing by and listening to their conversation. Suddenly, he heard Gu Heng's Cue and couldn't help but turn his head around, full of question marks.

"I came to Guangzhou this time to work on a long-term project, which is worth at least several billion, or even more.

When the time comes, I will arrange for you, Xiaohua, and Fengzi to participate in this project. I don’t know how much money you can make, but it will definitely be much more than what you are making now.”

Li Haibin: “???”

Song Hua:"???"

When they heard Gu Heng say this, they shuddered all over, and then stared at Gu Heng in disbelief.

"Why are you staring at me? Are you unwilling?"

The two who reacted immediately shook their heads like rattles and said in unison: "Yes! Yes!"

Only fools don't want to
How many people in this world are looking forward to being helped by a noble person?
There is no doubt that Gu Heng is their benefactor now.

Who would want to work as a screwdriver in a factory when they can make a lot of money?
Li Haibin hesitated for a long time before he couldn't help but ask, "Hengzi, can I ask you something?"

"You ask."

"How much money do you have now? I wanted to ask you when you said this car cost 4700 million just now. Now you are talking about a project worth billions. I am a little overwhelmed.
But if you don’t feel comfortable asking, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Listening to Li Haibin's question, Gu Heng smiled and said, "It's nothing inconvenient to say, it's just a few hundred million. But this is the current number. Maybe when you ask me next time, it may be several billion. You don't even need to ask, you can see me on the Forbes, Hurun and other rich lists."

Li Haibin and Song Hua looked at each other, seeing each other's rolling Adam's apples, and they didn't know what to say for a long time.
Looking at their expressions, Gu Heng was secretly happy but also a little conflicted.
I hope that in the future, my relationship with them won’t be affected by money.
After all, I don't want to indulge myself until the end, enjoy everything I should enjoy but end up alone.
For the next period of time, at Gu Heng's request, Li Haibin and Song Hua both drove their own Bugatti Divos to have fun on the streets.

At first, the two were a little reserved, but later on, they gradually let themselves go and drove the Black Lightning through the streets and alleys of Yangcheng without a destination. As for Gu Heng, he drove Song Hua's Honda Civic and followed them from a distance.
After all, in terms of Guangzhou's traffic conditions, there is not much difference in speed between driving a sports car and a regular car in the city. The only difference is that one attracts no attention while the other attracts attention.
As for those who say that those who have never driven a supercar cannot drive a supercar, that is complete nonsense.

In fact, the driving style of a supercar is not much different from that of a normal car.

Otherwise, why can you drive a supercar on the road with a C1 driver's license?

It can only be said that the driving skills required for supercars are indeed a little different from those of ordinary models, but the main difference is the excessive power and the fact that "the car will not move without pressing the accelerator". In fact, there is not much difference on the road. Experienced drivers only need to adapt for a period of time, and they don't even need professional teaching.

Considering Song Hua and Li Haibin's years of driving experience, as long as they pay attention, they can easily drive a sports car.

Those who clamor online that supercars require special driving skills have never touched a sports car and are simply over-mythologizing it.
Three hours later.

Song Hua looked at Li Haibin who was walking down from the Bugatti Divo with an excited look on his face and asked, "How does it feel to ride a supercar?"

"Awesome! So awesome! Most importantly, the looks from passers-by are awesome! There are still quite a few people in Guangzhou who drive sports cars on the road. In the past, I could only follow behind them, smelling the exhaust fumes and feeling envious.

I never thought that I, Li Haibin, would have the chance to drive a multi-million dollar supercar on the streets! "

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Actually, it feels no different from my Civic when driving it, except that the feeling of showing off is so damn good! If I were to drive this car around in front of my old classmates, I can't even imagine how happy I would be!"

Listening to the conversation between Li Haibin and Song Hua, Gu Heng, who was standing on the side of the road, smiled.

I seemed to feel the same way when I first drove the Bentley Flying Spur on the road. "It's fine as long as it's fun. When you make money in the future, you can buy one for yourself. Then you can show off wherever you want."

Song Hua smiled shyly when he heard Gu Heng's words: "Forget it, I know how capable I am. I dare not think about a sports car. If I can drive an Audi A7 home during the Chinese New Year, I will go to my ancestral grave and set off a hundred firecrackers. Even if the ancestral grave doesn't smoke, I will make it smoke!"

"Hahahaha~"

After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Okay, now that you're done, let's move on to the next project. My personal secretary has booked a hotel. I asked her to book two more rooms. You don't have to go back. Just stay in the hotel for the next few days."

Li Haibin couldn't help but ask, "Should I go back and resign first? The factory is still holding back half a month's salary, which is several thousand yuan."

Gu Heng couldn't help rolling his eyes at his petty appearance and said, "Are you still worried that they won't pay you? Just call your boss and tell him you're quitting, and ask him to pay you on time.

If they dare to delay your salary, I will send my lawyers to your house to collect it for you, okay?"

"It's not like it's not like that."

Li Haibin smiled awkwardly.
Gu Heng also shook his head and got directly into the driver's seat of the Bugatti Divo.

On the other side, Xu Ying, who received a call from Gu Heng, said to the manager of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel: "Manager Zhang, my boss will be at the hotel in about 10 minutes. Has your hotel checked the rooms?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sheng, General Manager of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, immediately assured: "Don't worry, Secretary Xu. After learning that Mr. Gu had checked in, I have arranged for three different management teams to conduct room inspections in the presidential suite to ensure that there won't be a single hair in the blind spots!"

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Guangzhou has a bad review
Many well-known hotel bloggers have complained about this.

As Gu Heng's personal secretary, Xu Ying certainly needed to know about this situation in advance, so she repeatedly emphasized the issue of room hygiene when booking the room. After all, if Gu Heng was dissatisfied, the hotel would be responsible on one hand, but she, as the personal secretary, could not escape the responsibility either.

In fact, Xu Ying didn't need to remind him at all. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel had already put in full effort after learning that Gu Heng was an ambassador member.

The mistakes that happened to ordinary guests would never happen to members of Gu Heng's level.

You can say that hotels are looking down on people or that they serve people based on the situation, but this is the reality.

Of course, people of different identities will have different experiences staying in the same hotel.

Xu Ying, who was not too sure, went to the presidential suite where Gu Heng was going to stay and checked it out in person before bringing the hotel manager and several executives to the hotel entrance to wait for Gu Heng. But when Xu Ying saw a familiar figure, she could not help but be startled.
Just as she was about to say hello, she saw a pure black Bugatti Divo appear at the hotel gate. She had to give up the idea, gave the other party an apologetic smile, and then walked quickly towards Gu Heng's car door in her high heels.

When Gu Heng opened the car door and got out under Xu Ying's gaze, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw seven or eight men and women in Ritz-Carlton Hotel uniforms in front of the car.
What's happening here?
Even Gu Heng was stunned. Li Haibin and Song Hua, who were following behind Gu Heng, were even more stunned.
"Mr. Gu! Welcome to Shenzhen Xinrongji! I'm the branch manager of this store, Zhang Sheng!"

A man in a suit bowed slightly and greeted Gu Heng in a capable and respectful tone.

Several Ritz-Carlton hotel managers behind Manager Zhang repeated their welcome.
The Ritz-Carlton Yangcheng is located in Jiangzhu New Town, which is the main part of Tianhe CBD. Tianhe CBD is one of the three national-level central business districts approved by the state, and is as famous as Lujiazui CBD in Shanghai and Central CBD in Beijing.
In such a large business district, the most abundant thing is the flow of people.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, whether it is pedestrians or guests planning to stay in the hotel, can't help but stop and look at this scene.
Gu Heng was already used to the feeling of being noticed, but it was the first time for Li Haibin and Song Hua to experience it. They were a little nervous standing behind Gu Heng.
After shaking hands with Manager Zhang, Gu Heng ignored him and said to Xu Ying, "These two are my childhood friends, Li Haibin and Song Hua. Did you check them in when I asked you to?"

Xu Ying nodded quickly: "The check-in procedures have been completed. All we need is for Mr. Li and Mr. Song to enter their ID numbers."

Manager Zhang at the side heard this and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu. Mr. Li and Mr. Song can check in directly. When they are free, I will ask the staff to go to the room to handle it for them. There is no need to do it at the front desk."

After that, he bowed slightly again, but this time, the people he bowed to became Li Haibin and Song Hua: "Welcome Mr. Li and Mr. Song to stay at our Ritz-Carlton. It is a great honor to serve you."

Looking at the hand that Manager Zhang extended to them, the two of them felt a little awkward.
I have lived for more than 20 years, and although I have been called Mr. Li and Mr. Song,
But that was just a joke between friends.
Now being addressed so formally as Mr. Li and Mr. Song, Li Haibin and Song Hua felt extremely vain but also somewhat guilty.

After shaking hands with Manager Zhang, imitating the way Gu Heng had shaken him just now, both of them were still unable to calm down, their hearts were pounding.
It was as if the man in front of him was not a hotel manager, but some big shot.
But in fact, for ordinary people, Zhang Sheng can indeed be barely considered a figure. After all, the general manager of a five-star hotel, although not very awesome, ordinary people don’t have many opportunities to meet him. After all, even if you grit your teeth and spend a few thousand dollars to stay in a five-star hotel for a night, you may not necessarily get to meet him.

Gu Heng looked at the two of them and smiled faintly.
If I had come into contact with Zhang Sheng when I first obtained the system, my performance would probably not be much better than theirs.

It is no exaggeration to say that their performance was just a retelling of their own mental state at the time.
As for now.
Gu Heng can chat and laugh with Lu Yuan, a big shot on the Hurun Rich List. Being a hotel general manager can't affect his mood at all.
Just as Gu Heng was about to step into the hotel, he suddenly saw a familiar face and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zheng?"

Zheng Jiayi saw that Gu Heng recognized her, and walked out from the hotel staff with a smile: "Good afternoon, Mr. Gu."

Gu Heng: “???”

"How did you come?"

This time, Zheng Jiayi didn't need to answer. Zhang Sheng on the side quickly explained: "It's like this. Considering your stay experience, Mr. Gu, we specially communicated with the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong Island.

Because Miss Zheng was your personal butler when you stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Hong Kong Island, she understands your needs better, so Miss Zheng was temporarily transferred here."

"Are you guys so quick? I remember I asked my secretary to book a room just a few hours ago?"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying also said helplessly: "I just saw Miss Zheng a few minutes ago."

Zheng Jiayi chuckled and said, "After receiving the news from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Guangzhou, I learned that Mr. Gu had chosen our Ritz-Carlton Hotel again. The general manager of our Hong Kong Island branch also attached great importance to it and directly let me take the fastest flight to Guangzhou.

In fact, I arrived at the Ritz-Carlton, Guangzhou only 10 minutes earlier than you.

And it’s not just me who’s here, I’ve brought a whole team with me, including waiters and chefs, all of whom served you the past two days.”

After listening to Zheng Jiayi's explanation, Gu Heng raised his thumb speechlessly.

No wonder the Ritz-Carlton Hotel’s service is rated as one of the best hotel brands in the Forbes Hotel Rankings.
This service quality is absolutely amazing.
Because of a guest's check-in experience, a housekeeper was urgently transferred from another hotel thousands of miles away.
Song Hua and Li Haibin, who had been listening nearby, swallowed their saliva mouthful after mouthful and looked at each other secretly.
Both of them understood what was in each other's eyes.
Is Gu Heng so powerful now?
Even if they have never stayed in a five-star hotel, they know that this kind of treatment is not something that ordinary people can enjoy.
And
If everyone who stays in the hotel can enjoy this kind of service, the hotel might as well stop operating and go bankrupt, as it will suffer huge losses.

But the next moment, the gleam in their eyes flashed again.
This is the charm of money!

They don't expect to enjoy a life like Gu Heng's, but as long as they can enjoy one percent of what Gu Heng enjoys, this life will be worth it!

After thinking about this, the two of them looked at Gu Heng's back at the same time.
Others say that once a class gap is created, people will never return to their original circle, but this theory seems to be non-existent with Gu Heng. Not only does he take his poor brothers to stay in luxury hotels, he also thinks of helping them.
When they thought of this, they were moved.
Gu Heng, who was still admiring the service of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, didn't know what the two were thinking, and walked towards the inside of the hotel under the crowd.
After entering the hotel, Gu Heng first visited the hotel's presidential suite accompanied by hotel staff.
It seems that the presidential suites at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel are not very big, and the presidential suite in Guangzhou is only 410 square meters.

Still retro European decoration style
After a brief tour, Gu Heng directly instructed Zheng Jiayi to start arranging lunch.

Just as Gu Heng was explaining the problem, Song Hua and Li Haibin were excitedly led by the hotel staff to Gu Heng's presidential suite.
It was not until they saw the layout of Gu Heng's room that they were stunned again.
They had just finished touring the luxurious executive suites, and their perceptions were completely shattered when they heard that the cost of each room was over 300 million, and even a bed and a mattress together cost hundreds of thousands. Now seeing Gu Heng's presidential suite, their perceptions were refreshed once again.
If the luxury suite they live in costs more than 300 million, then the cost of this presidential suite may start at million.
Looking at their expressions, Gu Heng smiled and said, "This is the only presidential suite we have. If there were two more, I would have booked them for you as well.

But if you want to live here, I can share it with you."

Gu Heng's words were not false courtesy, but the truth.

For him, there is really not much difference between staying in a presidential suite and an executive suite.
After all, apart from the bedroom, I have no use for things like the living room, study, and conference room.

What Gu Heng values ​​most is actually the service.
But even if you stay in an ordinary executive suite, you will still get all the necessary services.

Li Haibin and Song Hua hurriedly shook their heads when they heard Gu Heng's words.

The fact that the two of them could stay in a luxury suite that cost thousands of dollars a night was already thanks to Gu Heng. Regardless of whether Gu Heng was being polite or sincere, they would be really ungrateful if they agreed.

Even though they are still childhood friends, the difference in status has added something else to them.
Gu Heng also noticed this subtle change. If it was before, even if the two refused, they would probably be naughty with him, but now they refused so decisively.
And this situation will definitely become more and more normal as time goes by.
Unless they can reach the same level as me in the future.
But is this possible?
With the system, I am destined to become one of the top few in the future, while Li Haibin and others, even with my help, can only achieve achievements that surpass most ordinary people.
Shaking his head, Gu Heng didn't want to think too much. Let's talk about the future later. The important thing is to enjoy the present.

Thinking of this, Gu Heng raised his chin, signaling Zheng Jiayi to arrange lunch according to his instructions, and finally smiled at the two of them and said, "Have something good at noon, and conserve your energy first, because we have activities in the evening."

"what activity?"

Listening to Li Haibin's doubts, Gu Heng smiled mysteriously: "It will make you never want to be a bootlicker again."
