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

Chapter 26: Still Caring About Cost-Performance for 3 Million?

Over half an hour later.

Gu Heng told the taxi driver something before getting out of the car.

Standing under the office building he had frequented for more than two years, Gu Heng felt like reflecting on something, but in the end, he could only smile vaguely, pulling out his phone to snap a photo of the building’s entrance to send to Lin Jiayun. Then he squatted down to light up a cigarette and quietly started smoking.

Life had been too tiring and rushed before. He’d never realized that the scenery right below his company’s building was quite pleasing, especially the long-legged women passing by, adding vivid colors to the view...

Two minutes later, hearing the rustling behind him, Gu Heng looked back instinctively, catching sight of Lin Jiayun sneaking up behind him with a mischievous smile, tiptoeing closer...

"What are you trying to do?"

Seeing that Gu Heng’s face showed no surprise, Lin Jiayun snorted displeasure, her face falling and lips pouting, "So boring, I wanted to scare you a bit."

Today, Lin Jiayun wore a pure white long-sleeved knitted cardigan with a black pleated miniskirt underneath, and the perpetual winter favorite, flesh-toned tights, showcasing her lean and long legs to perfection...

Initially upset by Gu Heng’s lukewarm reaction, she regained her smile when she saw that Gu Heng’s gaze remained on her. She asked cheerfully, "What do you think about my outfit today?"

As she spoke, she twirled gracefully in front of Gu Heng like a preening little girl, the faint scent of mint perfume whirling around his nose with the breeze she stirred...

There were many people coming and going from the office building, and by now a few were looking their way, but Lin Jiayun seemed unconcerned. Instead, she behaved even more intimately, slowly bringing her head close to Gu Heng’s ear and whispered, "Do we look like we’re wearing matching outfits?"

In an instant, an atmosphere of ambiguity warmed the air around them...

How does the saying go?

Those few seconds drenched in ambiguity felt so much like love...

Even Gu Heng couldn’t help being lured into the illusion, but quickly, he pulled himself out of the suggestive mood, rising calmly and crushing the embers of his finished cigarette underfoot. Shrugging his shoulders, he adopted a stoic straight-man demeanor, "It’s passable, I guess."

Saying this, he began striding away, adding, "Hurry up and follow; the taxi driver is still there with the meter running, waiting. Each minute wasted costs money, do you have any idea how expensive taxis are in Hang City?"

Watching Gu Heng maintain his composure despite her efforts, Lin Jiayun couldn’t help wrinkling her nose and grinding her teeth before hurrying to catch up with his steps.

As for Gu Heng...

Of course, he saw Lin Jiayun’s huffy expression...

But so what?

At this moment, he was the epitome of sobriety!

He knew all too well.

Lin Jiayun had been at the company for over a year, so why had she never interacted with him before? Was this newfound intimacy really because of his good nature? Give me a break, plainly said, wasn’t it all because he had been generous the previous night at the villa hotpot and bar?

Nevertheless, Gu Heng did not dislike Lin Jiayun’s sudden change; in fact, he rather enjoyed it.

If Lin Jiayun wanted to get closer to him, Gu Heng would accept without hesitation.

But that’s where it ended.

He had only just started to have some money, the good days were just beginning; he wasn’t about to tie himself down to Lin Jiayun.

There was plenty of time ahead. Now there was a Lin Jiayun, but in the future, there would surely be a Wang Jiayun, a Li Jiayun, a Zhang Jiayun. Rather than exhaust himself in a so-called love affair with her, he’d rather openly be a Casanova.

Hanging oneself from a single tree was something only fools did.

Having been beaten down by life for so many years without succumbing, how could he let a tiny Lin Jiayun hold sway over him?

In your dreams!

.....

.....

After seeing Gu Heng get into the taxi, Lin Jiayun naturally followed him into the back seat.

"Gu Heng, have you decided what car you want to buy?"

As soon as she got into the car, as if she hadn’t been the one who was just angry, Lin Jiayun took the initiative to move closer again...

Even though she hadn’t achieved her goal, as a woman of high standards, she was well aware that the one who takes the initiative in a relationship has no right to feel wronged.

This had nothing to do with being a simp; not to mention ordinary people, even Principal Wang, who had semi-retired, had to humble himself when he actively wanted to sleep with a girl, or else the term "Your Liquid Thoughts" wouldn’t exist.

Upon hearing her question, Gu Heng shook his head honestly and said, "I’ve never planned to buy a car before, so I haven’t looked into it.

However, Jiajun sent me the WeChat contacts of four car salespeople this morning, can you help me take a look?"

As he spoke, he opened WeChat and showed Lin Jiayun the four contacts that had already accepted his friend requests...

"Audi... Mercedes... Porsche... Bentley..."

Lin Jiayun muttered the names of the brands, her eyes growing brighter with each one she read...

Although she already knew that Gu Heng was very rich, when it came to money, of course the more the better...

Cars, watches, stuff like that, aren’t they just a man’s business card in society?

The more expensive the car Gu Heng bought, the more it precisely indicated Gu Heng was rich, right?

With this thought, Lin Jiayun immediately said, "Then tell me your budget, and I’ll help you choose."

After pondering for a few seconds, Gu Heng thought about the balance on his bank card and said, "Under 3 million."

He knew that after buying the car, the system would definitely reward him for indulging, but what could he do...

He only had just over 3 million in the bank now...

That morning, his brain hadn’t quite caught up, and he had already spent 2.5 million in advance, that too without any rewards...

If only he had known, he would have saved the money and spent it in the system’s mall after buying the car...

Now whatever was said was too late; a lesson learned for next time, and he’d be more experienced from now on.

Besides, 3 million was enough, he had thought yesterday that buying a car worth around one million was sufficient, but now with the strong support of the system, his budget had increased threefold, one mustn’t be too greedy...

As Gu Heng finished speaking, Lin Jiayun hadn’t yet responded when the taxi driver in the front couldn’t help but interject, "Young man, with a budget of 3 million, why are you still hesitating about what car to buy?

If you were talking about a car with good value for money, I could list hundreds for you, but you’re budgeting 3 million, do you still care about value for money?

If I were you, I’d go straight for the Bentley."

After giving Gu Heng his advice, the driver realized he’d said too much and joked, "I’m too talkative, don’t mind me."

Having heard the taxi driver’s words, Gu Heng’s thoughts instantly clarified...

Only those with a limited budget have to choose back and forth, comparing multiple options.

With his budget of 3 million, other than supercars, what car couldn’t he buy? What else did he need to consider?

Just go for it already!

With that thought, Gu Heng immediately said to the driver, "Then let’s go straight to the Gongshu Bentley 4S store."

"Got it!"
