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

Chapter 198: It’s Gu Heng? It’s Gu Heng!!!
Xiaoshan Airport is quite far from downtown Hangzhou, and He Jing drove for more than an hour before arriving downstairs of the company.

"Gu Heng, we're here."

He Jing gently pushed Gu Heng who had fallen asleep, and woke him up in a gentle voice.

Rubbing his eyes, Gu Heng glanced at the familiar scenery outside the window and said lazily, "So soon?"

He Jing rolled her eyes helplessly when she heard this: "Not fast anymore, there was a traffic jam in the city just now, I drove for more than an hour.

You've been sleeping since you got on the bus, so of course it feels fast!"

Hearing He Jing's complaining tone, Gu Heng smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I was a little tired after sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, so I slept a little deeply."

No matter what, He Jing is still a friend to me, not my full-time driver. She came all the way to pick me up, so I still have to show the proper attitude. I can't think that just because I'm rich, the whole world should serve me, right?

So Gu Heng's apology was completely sincere and there was no politeness in it.

He Jing listened to Gu Heng's words and was silent for a moment.
She found out that she was wrong.
She originally thought that since Gu Heng was so rich now, he might be a little distant from his old friends who were ordinary people.

But in reality it didn't.
The Gu Heng in front of him was completely different from before in terms of wealth and status, but his personality was still as casual and gentle as before, which made He Jing feel a little surprised. She had suppressed the hint about Gu Heng just now, but now it came out involuntarily.
If Gu Heng was still the same as before, then even if I became his woman, it wouldn't seem like a disadvantage. And my friendship with Gu Heng was much deeper than Lin Jiayun's.

With this additional relationship, maybe I can get more benefits than Lin Jiayun.
However, He Jing did not express her opinion on the spot, but said in a coquettish tone: "What's the use of apologizing? I have been your driver for more than an hour, and my lumbar disc is almost herniated. You should at least make it up to me a little, right?"

Gu Heng was very smart. He heard very clearly the change in He Jing's attitude towards him. He also smiled and said, "Then tell me, what do you want to make up for it? As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

"Well, let's do this. I remember you treated me to a Western-style hotpot meal when I resigned from the company. It's been a few months and I still can't forget it. How about you treat me to another meal?"

Gu Heng also knew that a smart woman like He Jing would not make any excessive demands. It was just a hotpot meal in a western-style house. Even though it was so luxurious at the time, it only cost 17 yuan. It was indeed a luxury at that time. After all, it was not long since she had obtained the system and her net worth had not yet exceeded one million.

But now 17 is not even money in my eyes.
To put it bluntly, my daily meals are sometimes even more high-end than this so-called Western-style hotpot.

Then he nodded without thinking, and then teased: "Why, haven't you been extravagant and eaten a few more times since then?"

He Jing rolled her eyes again: "Master Gu, you are really like a person who doesn't know how to eat meat and doesn't know the sufferings of the world, okay? A meal costs hundreds of thousands. Let alone that I am just an ordinary clerk who only earns more than 400 a month. Even when I had million fans, was a big shot on the Internet, and earned hundreds of thousands a month, I would not be willing to eat, right?
If I hadn't had the opportunity to kill you today, I would never go to that kind of place again in my life."

"Okay, then I'll be the scapegoat today and let you slaughter me!"

The two smiled in agreement and then got out of the car.
It was the end of lunch break and the start of work for all major companies. The entrances of the buildings were filled with busy office workers.

Gu Heng looked at the scene in front of him and smiled for some unknown reason.

A few months ago, I was one of them, even at the bottom. But a few months later, I was completely in two different worlds from this group of people. When I think about it, I still feel a little strange.

Looking at the smile on Gu Heng's face, He Jing asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, just some feelings, let's go up."

"Row."

Seeing that Gu Heng didn't say anything, He Jing didn't continue asking and took Gu Heng towards the elevator.

A few minutes later, the elevator arrived at the floor where Galaxy Media was located. Gu Heng and He Jing walked out of the elevator side by side. After the elevator was completely closed, they waved away the stench that lingered at their noses and took a deep breath of fresh air.

It's not that he's being pretentious.

During this period, no matter where I went, I always took the VIP channel, including the elevator. Now, I was squeezed into an elevator with more than a dozen people in the middle of summer. The unpleasant body odor was really unbearable.
It's a sign of his high quality that he waited until the elevator closed before showing this attitude.
I don’t know how I managed to survive such a situation every day, squeezing into buses and subways with a large group of people, and living in a cramped rental house. If the system was gone and I had to experience this ordinary life again, I probably wouldn’t be able to survive.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This famous saying of the ancients is fully reflected in Gu Heng.
He Jing had no idea what was going on in Gu Heng's mind. Although she also felt that the smell in the elevator was unpleasant, she went there every day and had long been accustomed to it. She just thought that Gu Heng was not used to it because he had not squeezed into an elevator for a long time. She did not say anything and took Gu Heng into the door of Xinghe Media.

Since it was not yet working hours, colleagues gathered in twos and threes and were whispering about something, and from time to time they would raise their heads and look towards the general manager's office.

"Do you think Lin Jiayun can terminate the contract?"

"Impossible. I heard from the HR department that Lin Jiayun's contract will not expire for more than two years. She is now the company's biggest earner. Half of the company's income depends on her account contribution. Unless President Zhang is crazy, he will terminate the contract."

"That's right, everyone knows about Wuyou Media acquiring our company, right? A small online media company like ours has at least 8,000 people in the entire city of Hangzhou, right? Why would Wuyou Media acquire our company?
Isn't it because our company has Xiao Lan and Lin Jiayun, two big internet celebrities with millions of fans? Let me tell you something you may not like to hear. The more than 30 people in our company may not be as valuable as Xiao Lan and Lin Jiayun. If Lin Jiayun really terminates the contract, I guarantee that Wuyou Media will give up the acquisition immediately!"

"You missed He Jing, didn't you? She is also a big internet celebrity in our company, and she used to be the top celebrity."

Hearing this, the employee who had just made a well-reasoned analysis snorted and said, “Maybe she was right before, but do I need to say more now?
She hasn't appeared online for several months, and her fan account has been changed to someone else.

Don't you know that the Internet loves new things and hates old things? Even if I give her the account again, let alone reaching the previous level, it would be good if she can reach half of it. I don't understand if she has her head stuck in the door. She gave up being a big internet celebrity with a monthly income of hundreds of thousands and chose to be an administrative staff. I have been live streaming for almost three years, but I am still a small anchor, not even an internet celebrity. "

Several people were talking loudly, and the content of their conversation was heard by Gu Heng and He Jing.

It has been almost half a year since Gu Heng left the company. The staff turnover in Internet companies is very fast. Among the employees who were chatting, Gu Heng had a slight impression of one or two of them, but he didn't know the others at all.

However, listening to the conversation of this group of people, Gu Heng smiled and teased He Jing: "Sister Jing, it seems that you are having a hard time in the company now. Even the small anchors who are here to make up for the company's performance can talk about you behind your back."

Gu Heng did not deliberately lower his voice, and everything he said was heard by this group of people.

The mockery and disdain in his tone were almost undisguised.

Immediately, everyone's eyes were drawn over here.

The phrase "a little anchor who makes up for the performance" made the employees who had just been gossiping behind her feel endlessly humiliated, although what they said was indeed the truth.
Is it humiliating? Absolutely.

But Gu Heng didn't care at all. He has always been a person who helps his relatives and not others.

Even if He Jing doesn't want to be his woman, she is still his friend. Is it the turn of these small anchors who can only make a few dollars by selling their bodies to gossip about her?

Let alone the small anchors, with Gu Heng's current wealth, even if he pointed at the noses of those tens of millions of anchors and scolded them, they would have to bear it no matter how angry they were.

He Jing listened to Gu Heng's words and understood that he was trying to find a way to save her. She felt a little closer to Gu Heng in her heart. She then cast a calm look at the young anchors who were embarrassed because they were caught talking behind their backs, then turned around and smiled at Gu Heng.

“It’s okay, it’s not the first time, I’ve gotten used to it over the past few months.

This is how it is in the workplace. If you are doing well, people will flatter you. If you are not doing well, it is normal for people to step on you.

I'll take you to the general manager's office. Jia Jia should be discussing the contract with Mr. Zhang inside."

Gu Heng nodded slightly.

It must be said that He Jing’s attitude is indeed good.

This calm and composed attitude is at least many times better than those stupid internet celebrities on the Internet. If He Jing can really put aside her bottom line, maybe the top internet celebrities in the entertainment industry will give her a seat.

Watching He Jing and Gu Heng chatting as if no one was around, the group of employees felt they were in the wrong and had nothing to say. They just watched He Jing and Gu Heng walk towards the general manager's office.

It was not until the backs of the two people disappeared from sight that the young anchor who had spoken the most harshly just now spat fiercely and said, "Bah, what a bullshit! I am just a young anchor who is just trying to make ends meet. I made 8 yuan last month! I got more than yuan in cash, which is much better than her, a former internet celebrity!"
It's out of fashion, so what? I don't know what to pretend to be! She brought a strange person to the company, and I don't know if he is her wild man! "

No one responded to the young anchor's words this time.

Gossiping behind someone's back is not a respectable thing to do, and being caught red-handed is even more embarrassing. They have no grudge against He Jing, so there is no need to hold on to it.

Just as everyone was about to disperse and prepare for afternoon work.

suddenly
The voice of an old employee sounded.

"Sister Ying, does that man look familiar to you?"

Upon hearing this, the woman named Sister Ying was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I also felt that it looked a little familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while."

The person who was speaking was a veteran anchor of the company for more than two years, and Sister Ying was an employee of the director team. Both were veteran employees of the company.

When they were working in the company, Gu Heng was also there.

Although we don't have much contact with each other in normal times, we bump into each other quite often, so it's not surprising that I feel Gu Heng looks familiar.

After thinking about it for a while, the woman called Sister Ying slapped the table and said excitedly, "I remember! It's Gu Heng!"

"Is it really him?"

"It must be him! He used to work in the screenwriting team, and I've had contact with him a few times. I didn't react just now, but now that I think about that face carefully, it's definitely Gu Heng!
No wonder we couldn't remember who he was. Who would have thought that Gu Heng would return to the company!"

"It's really him! I wonder if he still remembers us."

"So what if you remember? Are you still planning to talk to him and make friends with him? He used to ignore us when he worked in our company, so how can he still talk to us now?

It’s good enough to take a photo and post it on WeChat Moments.”

Seeing the two people's startled expressions, the employees who joined the company after Gu Heng were confused. One anchor asked in confusion: "Who is the Gu Heng you are talking about? A former employee of our company?"

The employee named Sister Ying nodded, and then said mysteriously: "She was a veteran employee of our company, but now...
I guess our boss would bow and call him Mr. Gu when he sees him."

? ? ? ?
A lot of question marks rose up in the heads of these new employees.

Sister Ying didn't keep the secret any longer and spoke again: "We all eat online, you must know him, but you just didn't connect him with the person online for a while.

If you open your phone and check out the trending searches on TikTok a few days ago, you will see the news about a Chinese super-rich man spending 60 billion to buy two private jets. Then look at the name of the person involved and you will know who he is. If you scroll a little further, you should be able to find his photo. "

The words fell
Several anchors who usually pay close attention to the Internet had their heads buzzing. They probably knew who Sister Ying was talking about, but they still opened their phones in disbelief.
Two minutes later, several people compared the photos of Gu Heng being interviewed on their phones and finally confirmed it.
The super rich man in the phone is the same person as the man who just mocked and despised me.
"Is this true? Such a rich man actually worked in our company before? Sister Ying, are you sure you are not kidding us?"

Sister Ying smiled helplessly: "Although it is a bit unbelievable, it is indeed true, and I have been taking it for two years.

I guess it's some super rich kid who came out to experience life."

Having said that, Sister Ying no longer wanted to continue talking, and she stood up and planned to go to work. After all, no matter how rich Gu Heng was, it had nothing to do with her, although she also regretted that she did not take the initiative to establish a good relationship with Gu Heng when he was at work.
Halfway through the walk, Sister Ying seemed to have thought of something, and turned back to speak again to the others, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that before, He Jing was troubled by someone coming to the company because of some live broadcast issues, and it was Gu Heng who came to solve it personally. I don't need to say more about the relationship between them, right?"

After saying this, he took another step and left everyone's sight.

When the anchors heard this, even if they tried to control their facial expressions, they couldn't help but change their expressions.

Especially the young anchor who spoke the most harshly, his face turned pale
As a host, she understands the power of money best.

Normally, those so-called big brothers who spend three to five hundred in her live broadcast room, she has to greet them with a smile, flatter and coax them.
Where is Gu Heng?
That's a super rich man who can spend 60 billion to buy two private jets.
Although she didn't know what 60 billion meant.
But she knew that for a man who could easily spend billions, it would be no more difficult to kill a small anchor like her who was not even an internet celebrity than to step on an ant.
