The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 130 A Balanced Approach
At 9 p.m., when Gu Heng and his group walked out of the China International Financial Center shopping mall, their cars had already been driven out by the mall's parking attendants and were now neatly parked on the side of the road.

The Lamborghini Centenary, Ferrari FFX, and McLaren 720s were the three supercars that Gu Heng and his entourage drove when they arrived. Now, two more supercars have joined them: a Porsche 918 and an Aston Martin DB11.

It was obvious that the two supercars behind were driven by Gao Zihang and his group.

Five supercars were neatly parked on the side of the road, attracting many passersby to watch and take pictures.

Wang Yan and others were already used to this situation.

"Brother, you guys go have fun later."

Carrying a Hermes shopping bag, Wang Wanning suddenly said tactfully as the group approached the car, "I won't go with you."

"what?"

"You're not going?"

"Why don't you go sit for a while before you leave?"

Wang Yan could barely contain his emotions, but he still habitually tried to persuade her to stay.

"Brother, are you really that reluctant to part with me?"

"If you're so reluctant to part with me, then I'll come and sit with you for a while."

"I'll talk to Dad and I'll stay with you until midnight, no problem."

Wang Wanning blinked, as if she hadn't noticed that Wang Yan was being polite to her, and immediately changed the subject, saying that she was going to stay.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's smile instantly froze on his face.

Say hello to Dad?

Stay with him until midnight?
If that's the case, wouldn't he have to take Wang Wanning home in the middle of the night?

"Humph~"

"Feigning innocence~"

"They're not sincere at all!"

Seeing Wang Yan's expression, Wang Wan Ning gave a slightly arrogant hum, then waved her fair hand: "You guys do your thing, I'm leaving!"

Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walked to the driver's side of the McLaren 720s, and opened the car door for Wang Wan Ning: "Princess, please get in the car. Let me know when you get home."

"Know it!"

Wang Wanning responded somewhat irritably, then turned to look at Gu Heng beside her, a hint of expectation appearing on her beautiful face: "Mr. Gu, may I add you on WeChat?"

"of course can."

Gu Heng naturally wouldn't refuse this request.

"Thank you!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Wang Wanning's eyes. She quickly opened her personal WeChat QR code and handed it to Gu Heng.

Soon, the two added each other on WeChat.

"Wan Ning, I need your help with something."

Gu Heng then turned to look at Jiang Ruan and said, "The W Hotel on the Bund isn't far from here. Could you please take Assistant Jiang back to the hotel for me?"

Jiang Ruan, who had been standing obediently beside Gu Heng, suddenly noticed a hint of surprise in her clear, glassy eyes when she heard Gu Heng's words.

Since arriving in Zhonghai, the two have been inseparable. Even last night, when Gu Heng and Wang Yan were having their ultimate pool party on the top floor of the W Hotel on the Bund, indulging in debauchery with a group of women, Gu Heng had her with him.

Now that Gu Heng has suddenly said he won't take her with him anymore, she feels a strange emptiness in her heart, as if she has lost her support.

Will he come back tonight?

Thinking about the place Gu Heng and the others were going to later, where there would definitely be countless young and beautiful girls, she felt a little anxious.

"No problem at all."

Wang Wanning naturally wouldn't refuse Gu Heng's request.

"Later, you will go back to the hotel with Wan Ning and get a good night's rest."

Gu Heng handed the room key to the surprise suite to Jiang Ruan. His voice was gentle, and his expression revealed no emotion.

Everything requires a balance; too much of anything is as bad as too little.

These past two days, Gu Heng has been showering Jiang Ruan with affection.

He took her to various occasions, and just now he spent nearly a million to buy her a limited edition Hermès Birkin bag.

If we were to quantify Gu Heng's affection for Jiang Ruan, then this value is clearly nearing its peak.

In this situation, Gu Heng needs to restore this value to its average value, or even to its lowest point, and then bring it back to its peak.

Only through this repeated cycle can Jiang Ruan's emotions remain in a constant state of fluctuation.

Women are inherently emotional creatures.

Men are not bad, women are not loving.

Facts have proved that

Diligent and hardworking, yet possessing nothing!
Sweet talk and clever words, and you'll return with a full load of goodies!

Now is the time for Gu Heng to give Jiang Ruan the cold shoulder.

"you……"

"You gave me the room key, so what are you going to do with it?" Jiang Ruan asked tentatively as she took the room key.

While seemingly asking Gu Heng how he would get into the house when he returned that night, she was actually subtly probing whether Gu Heng was actually coming back that evening.

"Let's talk again."

Gu Heng gave an ambiguous answer, neither saying he wanted to go back nor that he didn't want to go back.

Jiang Ruan did not get the answer she wanted, and the light in her eyes dimmed slightly.

"Chairman Gu, we'll be going then."

Wang Wanning spoke up at the right moment, waving her hand at Gu Heng: "Have fun."

"drive safely."

Gu Heng nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Soon, Jiang Ruan left in Wang Wan Ning's McLaren 720s.

"Chairman Gu, let's drive directly to the Shiliupu Wharf."

"We'll park the car on the side of the road, and I've arranged for someone there to drive it away for us. We can then board the ship directly from the pier."

After seeing Wang Wanning off, Wang Yan seemed a little excited.

"OK!"

Gu Heng made a gesture to Wang Yan, then walked straight to his Lamborghini Centennial, opened the door, and got in.

"Om-"

With the roar of supercars echoing one after another, Gu Heng and the others drove their supercars away from the China International Financial Center shopping mall and headed towards the Bund Shiliupu Wharf.

……

The night falls and the lanterns come on.

Once the largest wharf in the Far East, the Shiliupu Wharf, with a history of 150 years, shines like a bright pearl in the shimmering waters of the Huangpu River.

The dock was bustling with activity, a constant flow of people.

One after another, brightly decorated cruise ships would dock at the shore or set sail.

Although the China Overseas International Financial Center shopping mall and the Shiliupu Wharf are only separated by a river, it took Gu Heng and his group almost twenty minutes to drive to the vicinity of the wharf.

Too many people!

Looking out, the dark crowd seemed to stretch endlessly.

The laughter of tourists, the whistles of traffic police, and the shouts of vendors blend together, filling the place with the warmth and vibrancy of everyday life.

When Gu Heng and his group arrived in their supercars, they naturally attracted a large crowd of onlookers who exclaimed in a variety of ways, including in different dialects.

It has to be said that supercars are probably the only type of car that can appeal to both men and women.

At this moment, the way those young girls looked at Gu Heng was all exceptionally ardent.

Some girls even have their boyfriends standing right next to them.

But Gu Heng had no doubt that if he beckoned to those girls, they would most likely abandon their boyfriends and throw themselves into Gu Heng's arms without the slightest hesitation, thus starting the "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential" comeback storyline for their boyfriends.

Supercars are great!

'You have to buy a supercar!'

'It doesn't have to be turned on normally, but it absolutely cannot be without it!'

Gu Heng secretly made up his mind. Since his spending in Zhonghai was covered by Tongzi's father, he might as well take advantage of the situation.

"Chairman Gu, I am Liu Kuan from the Security Department of Junyao Group."

Just as Gu Heng was lost in thought, a middle-aged man in a black suit strode up to him and respectfully asked, "Where should I park your car?"

"Just park in the parking lot of the W Hotel on the Bund, then hand the car keys to the hotel reception and tell them that it's for Mr. Gu of the Surprise Suite."

Gu Heng casually handed the car keys to the other person, while explaining to him.

"Ok."

After giving his instructions, Gu Heng joined Wang Yan and the others.

As the saying goes, wherever there's a queue, there's a way to avoid it.

Under the watchful eyes of many ordinary tourists, Gu Heng and his group were directly escorted inside by the dock's welcoming staff, without any waiting required.

In the past, Gu Heng hated privileged people the most!

Having special privileges these days is fucking awesome!

“China Overseas Yacht Club has maintained long-term cooperation with China Overseas’ major marinas. The yacht I contacted tonight was borrowed from a big shot in China Overseas Yacht Club, so we don’t need to queue and can just go through the special channel to board the boat.”

As Wang Yan walked into the dock, he explained to Gu Heng.

"So that's it."

Gu Heng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Following the dockside greeter, the group walked for several hundred meters until they reached the edge of the dock. At that moment, Gu Heng finally saw the "boat" that Wang Yan had prepared for him that evening...
