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

Chapter 32: Embark on a Spontaneous Trip

The trio returned to the dealership, where Gu Heng’s driving license and vehicle registration had all been sorted out...

After paying 650,000 for purchase tax, value-added tax, and insurance, his bank balance dropped back down to 9.63 million from the tens of millions...

This time, the system did not reward him...

But when he thought about it, it made sense, after all, he had splurged enough when buying the car, and this was at most just making the final payment. If he could get rewarded for this as well, wouldn’t he become a multimillionaire if he bought a car on installment?

Gu Heng didn’t care much about this, money...

As long as there’s enough to spend, that’s all that matters, right? Now, whatever he does is like not spending any money at all, and he can even make money. Besides, he doesn’t have the intention of getting a private plane, so what’s the use of having so much surplus balance?

...

The car purchase was completely taken care of...

The only regret was that his car now only had a temporary license plate, so he could only drive within the province...

If he could travel across provinces now, Gu Heng wished he could just floor the accelerator and head back home to show off...

After dropping Lin Jiayun back off at her company, she turned around with a smile before getting out of the car and said, "Do you want to come up to the office? I can help you show off your nearly 4-million-yuan luxury car again, let all those colleagues open their eyes wide to see, fortunes can change in a blink, and there’s a rich man right by my side?"

Gu Heng, sitting in the driver’s seat, listened to Lin Jiayun’s teasing and chuckled.

To be honest, though the company’s treatment of him was poor, it wasn’t too harsh, and the academic discrimination was self-inflicted...

Those colleagues didn’t mock and joke about him as they did in novels; although they weren’t exactly friendly, they didn’t deliberately trouble him either.

After all, everyone’s just a regular person, and living in a big city like Hang City is exhausting enough—who has the energy to specifically pick on you?

Because of this, Gu Heng didn’t have much interest in showing off in front of them or annoying them, so he shook his head and declined Lin Jiayun’s suggestion.

Seeing Gu Heng’s refusal, Lin Jiayun didn’t say much, simply got out of the car, and said while standing by the door, "Then I’ll head back to the office first~"

After saying that, she winked at him and blew a kiss...

Once Lin Jiayun had left, Gu Heng sitting in the driver’s seat began to feel a bit empty...

People really are masochistic...

When you’re a corporate drone, you dream every day of striking it rich, working yourself to death, but at least it feels full...

Now, damnit, with money, the emptiness comes...

Where the hell do you even start to talk about this?

.....

Isn’t that what they say about the difference between the wealthy and the average person?

The wealthy get bored and think about playing golf, having afternoon tea while looking at beautiful women...

And Gu Heng?

After much thought, he finally came up with a way to kill time...

Going to an internet cafe...

But as soon as this thought emerged in his mind, he promptly rejected it...

He had just picked up a luxury car worth millions, and he was eager to drive around the world flaunting it, enjoying the envy of strangers, so why the hell would he go to a damn internet cafe?

Suddenly...

An unexpected idea popped into his head.

"How about a spontaneous trip?"

Once the idea came, he couldn’t contain it...

In the tourist-heavy province of Jiangzhe, what Gu Heng saw most every day were towering skyscrapers. He’d felt the urge to travel, but reality quickly snapped him back, mainly because of the high cost...

Every casual trip out would cost at least several thousand yuan, wouldn’t it?

His lifestyle couldn’t afford such luxury before, but now things were different, right?

With this in mind, Gu Heng spoke to the smart navigation system, "Hello, Little De."

"I’m here, go ahead," it replied.

"Help me design the best route to Wuzhen."

"A route from Hang City to Wuzhen has been planned for you, spanning a total of 82.5 kilometers, and will take approximately 1 hour and 26 minutes. Please drive safely."

Listening to the delicate voice of the navigation system that sounded like Sister Chi-ling, Gu Heng started the vehicle and drove off towards the distance...

....

....

Over an hour later, Gu Heng’s Bentley Flying Spur entered the outskirts of the ancient town.

The time was past five in the afternoon...

But because winter nights always come early, the sky had already begun to darken...

Wuzhen, shrouded in a veil of darkness, was even more flavorful than the images and videos circulating online. With the ancient streets lit up, the charm of antiquity was on full display for everyone.

Stone bridges were sprawled across the surface of the water, their reflections shimmering beneath, causing ripples and shadows, so that even before stepping in, Gu Heng felt as though he was in a dream of water towns...

Seeing this scene, Gu Heng couldn’t resist taking out his phone to snap a photo of the ancient town not far away...

Apart from the scenic water town in the photo, there was also the unmistakable large B logo on the steering wheel in the corner...

Next, he opened his Moments, clicked on the top right corner, and attached a caption with artistic flair: "The wind comes from afar, and I stride forward without concern..."

Click send.

A series of actions smooth as flowing water...

What are Moments for?

Obviously, to show off!

In the past, he was just a tool man for liking posts in Moments, watching former classmates, internet friends, and colleagues post about delicious food, beautiful scenery, and pretty girls every day, all he could do was secretly envy from a corner...

Now that he had the chance, he absolutely had to show off in return and make them feel envious too!

And the composition of this photo was truly ingenious...

Eighty-five percent was the view outside the window, the remaining fifteen showed the interior of the car, revealing just a small part of the steering wheel and the most important big B logo...

Even if others knew he was blatantly flaunting his wealth, they had no way to complain...

After all, I’m here to show you the scenery, why are you focusing on my car’s logo?

Is showing off wealth shameful?

Go to hell, why would he buy this 4-million luxury car if he didn’t want to show off? He might as well have bought a Passat, it’s all just driving, what’s the bloody difference?

Perhaps because he rarely posted on Moments, nearly a minute had passed since he shared the photo, and no one had liked or commented on it...

Suddenly...

Gu Heng, who was staring at the Moments screen, saw an unread comment and clicked on it without even checking who it was from.

Lin Jiayun: "Where have you run off to?"

Seeing that the first comment was from Lin Jiayun, who already knew he had bought a car, Gu Heng’s excitement cooled by half, and he could only reply helplessly, "Wuzhen, just arrived."

But as Lin Jiayun’s comment was posted, it triggered a chain reaction. Likes and comments started popping up on Gu Heng’s phone one after another.

Fengzi: "woc! Don’t tell me you rented a Bentley as the lead car for my wedding??"

High school classmate: "How much did it cost to rent for a day? I also want to rent one to go home for the New Year."

First Blood Raider (first love): "Bought a car? Which one?"

The comments from these acquaintances weren’t interesting; hardly anyone believed Gu Heng could afford a Bentley...

But the comments from friends added through gaming were much more entertaining, one big shot after another kept on calling, and Gu Heng responded to each comment with a beaming smile...

Suddenly...

A dull thud came from behind the car...

Feeling the car slightly shake, Gu Heng instinctively turned his head to look back and saw a red sedan had just given the rear of his car a kiss...

In an instant, Gu Heng’s eyes widened, and he yelled "woc! My car!" before hastily opening the door and stepping out...

His new car with less than 100 kilometers on it had met its first accident like this?!!
