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

Chapter 15: Can Marketing Be Tangible and Approachable?

Half an hour later.

The time had already moved past nine in the evening.

Yet, under the veil of night, Hang City remained resplendently neon, coquettishly displaying its beauty.

Sitting in the passenger seat of He Jing’s car, Gu Heng squinted slightly at the trendy guys and spicy girls that occasionally flashed by the window, feeling no envy at the moment.

"How much longer till we get there, Sister Jing?"

After staring out the window for too long, he couldn’t help but rub his eyes to relieve some fatigue and turned his head to He Jing, who was intently steering the wheel, and asked softly.

"Don’t you know how to check the GPS?! Jerk!"

He Jing’s tone was still harsh, and upon hearing the word "jerk", Gu Heng couldn’t help but be taken aback...

How exactly had he wronged her?

Wasn’t he just honestly answering her questions?

What, now?

You’re not allowed to speak the truth, and if you do, you’re a jerk?

It was simply baffling...

Since He Jing didn’t want to answer, Gu Heng had no intention of pressing his warm face against her cold back...

Why had he been single for so many years?

The most important factor, of course, was because he was poor.

The next more important reason was that he had too much dignity to be a simp.

In this society, roughly 90% of men are poor, some even poorer than Gu Heng, but why do so many men still have girlfriends?

Some conform to reality, finding women who were aware of their own ordinariness, and indulging in modest romances, which, though not overly romantic, were at least secure and considerate.

Another group are simps, striving to get a girlfriend and then marry and have kids, they must pursue the "little fairies".

These men truly endure any humility imaginable; their few thousand yuan in monthly wages isn’t much, but if spent solely on themselves, they could scrape by.

Yet, once in a relationship, there seem to be celebrations for 28 days each month, with each holiday demanding grand surprises or minor delights, exploited by bosses outside and at home by wives alike.

On top of that, they had to pamper their girlfriends like princesses.

In a word, girlfriends can never be wrong. These "little fairies" deign to be with average men like you, and you dare to say they’re at fault? If you can’t provide material wealth, you must offer emotional value, and doesn’t that mean playing the part of their dog...

Such a dating model is one of the reasons why ordinary guys are increasingly fearful of dating, and of course, Gu Heng was no exception.

Otherwise, with his height of 1.8 meters and decently handsome looks, getting a girlfriend shouldn’t be too difficult.

But!

If it means being a simp to have a relationship.

That’s impossible; even in poverty, he refused to be a simp.

Already near a nervous breakdown being a dog at the company, if dating also meant being a dog, he might as well be dead, for life held no meaning then.

....

....

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Gu Heng looked at He Jing again, his expression growing indifferent.

After all, she was just an ordinary friend; he really didn’t need to care about her thoughts.

He had never stooped to flattery or acted like a simp when he was desperately poor, so now that he had money, was he supposed to start? Let her daydream on.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the car grew somewhat quieter...

Lin Jiayun, who had been playing with her phone in the back seat, sensed the change in mood first and bit down hard on her back teeth...

He Jing, that wretched teammate, not only did she not help matchmake her with Gu Heng, but now she was even intentionally ruining the mood!

"She definitely wants to scare Gu Heng away so he can’t get close to her, then she can secretly contact her!"

Plastic sisterhood shattered in Lin Jiayun’s heart in an instant...

Thinking of this, Lin Jiayun’s gaze at He Jing began to carry a hint of hostility...

Then she suddenly turned off her phone screen, leaned forward from the back seat to the front, and said to Gu Heng with a smile, "Not much longer, the map shows less than two kilometers to go."

In such close contact, a scent, whether from shampoo or perfume, slowly wafted into Gu Heng’s nostrils, and her long hair, blowing due to the air conditioning, brushed against his face now and then...

Turning his head, Lin Jiayun’s delicate face was at most twenty centimeters away from his own...

Because of her youth, her face, rich with collagen, was as smooth as egg whites...

For a moment, that ticklish sensation began to spread throughout his body, making Gu Heng unsure whether it was Lin Jiayun’s hair that tickled him or his own heart being tickled...

It had been too long since he had been in such close contact with a girl, and the sudden intimacy made Gu Heng somewhat uncomfortable, so he shifted to the side a bit to create some distance...

And this simple little movement made Lin Jiayun’s heart secretly rejoice again...

She had guessed right after all, Gu Heng was just a innocent young man.

This type of guy should be easy to win over, right?

Suddenly, Gu Heng’s voice once again broke the silent tension in the car.

"I heard that in a bar you can also order girls and male models for company? When you girls go out to bars, do you order male models? Do you mind if I order girls for company?"

Upon hearing Gu Heng’s words, Lin Jiayun’s face, which had held a hint of pleasure, suddenly froze...

Just now she thought Gu Heng was an innocent guy.

But the next moment, he wanted to order hostesses right in front of her?

There were three girls in the car, and each of them was dozens, if not hundreds of times better than any hostess, right?

Three beauties accompanying him to the bar, and all he could think about was ordering hostesses?!

It seemed He Jing was right, Gu Heng at his core was a scumbag! Although he hadn’t reached his full potential yet, given the current trend, it shouldn’t take many days.

But she was different from He Jing...

He Jing hated scumbags to the bone.

She, on the other hand, didn’t have such a strong bias against scumbags, as long as they could give her money, afford her luxury goods and brand names, she could put up with them.

Thinking this way, the blank expression that had overtaken Lin Jiayun’s face for a second returned to a bright smile.

"What you’re talking about is business KTV, KTV Bars, and nightclubs. Places like the FT Bar are generally more formal and usually don’t offer companionship services."

Listening to Lin Jiayun’s explanation, Gu Heng nodded his head, somewhat disappointed.

The only way he could know about these high-end venues was through the internet...

And yet, that information always seemed just out of reach...

He might have been getting likes on his posts one second, and the next second the video could be deleted...

He had once accidentally seen a video of a middle-aged man going to sing alone, ordering a dozen girls, with kissing and touching...

At that moment, he swore that once he had money, he would definitely indulge in that kind of fun!

Now that the opportunity was finally in front of him, and he had the money too, Lin Jiayun told him there was no such service at the place they were going to. Could he not be disappointed?

"Even though there’s no companionship service, if you want, you can ask the marketer to drink with you, their role is similar to that of a hostess."

Upon hearing Lin Jiayun say this, a light rekindled in Gu Heng’s eyes.

He turned to look into her eyes, each word clear, "Then can the marketer be kissed and touched like a hostess can?"

Lin Jiayun: "???"

For a moment, she truly didn’t want to cling to a wealthy guy like Gu Heng anymore; it was too hard...
