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

Chapter 66 - 64 Finding a New Direction for Indulgence

"What the fuck???"

"He bought it just like that? Is the host brought in by the real estate company to advertise?"

"Confirmed, the host is advertising, that ’Brother Guhen’ and the property sales are all shills they hired."

"I believe that rich guys like Mr. Gu would definitely be more casual about buying houses than ordinary people, but I don’t believe they buy houses like ordering takeout. I even have to be picky when I order takeout!"

The live broadcast room was first filled with shock, followed by a flurry of doubts...

You can’t blame them for doubting, mainly because Gu Heng’s move was too explosive, completely grinding the values of ordinary people into the ground...

...

Not only the viewers in the live broadcast room but even Sun Li herself began to wonder if she had heard wrong...

Tianyanga Mansion had been on the market for over a year, and she had witnessed many wealthy homeowners, but even the fastest decision a homeowner made took them almost half a month...

How long has it been now?

Just a few minutes, and she had only just started introducing...

Thinking of this, Sun Li steadied her emotions and asked with uncertainty, "Mr. Gu, have you decided to buy it, or are you just asking for the price?"

"First, tell me the total price."

Hearing this, Sun Li quickly took the laptop handed over by a colleague and started to check.

"Mr. Gu, this penthouse apartment has four bedrooms, two living rooms, four bathrooms. Because it’s a top-floor unit with custom-style decor, the price per square meter is 31,500 yuan, and the total area is 325 square meters, so the total cost is 10.23 million..."

Hmm...

A standard multimillion-dollar luxury house...

Hearing Sun Li’s quote, Gu Heng nodded slightly, his balance was more than enough, "Can we sign the contract now, or is there some process I need to go through?"

This time, Sun Li was sure...

The young man in front of her was not just asking for a quotation nor playing with her; he truly decided to buy this apartment in just a few minutes...

With this realization, Sun Li’s brain began to race, and she immediately turned to a colleague, "Get the contract ready right away!"

After a moment of mental downtime, He Jing quickly tugged at Gu Heng’s shoulder and whispered, "What are you doing?"

Gu Heng looked at her quizzically, with an expression that said it was obvious.

"Buying a house."

"..."

His reasoning seemed solid, and He Jing found herself at a loss for words...

"You can’t just buy a house like this, right? Even if you don’t care about the potential savings, shouldn’t you compare a few more places?"

Gu Heng nodded earnestly, "You’re right."

Just when He Jing thought Gu Heng had taken her advice to heart and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard his voice continue, "Let’s leave it for this time, I’ll definitely do it next time."

Seeing Gu Heng’s resolved demeanor, she could only shake her head helplessly...

Apart from being somewhat speechless about Gu Heng’s impulsiveness, she felt even more envious...

She herself had visited all the property developments in Hang City; was it really because her standards were too high? No, it was just because her pockets weren’t deep enough...

If she had the funds, even if she wasn’t as extravagant as Gu Heng, she wouldn’t be so troubled and take over a year to decide which house to buy...

Lin Jiayun didn’t pay attention to the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room but watched Gu Heng talking so intimately with He Jing, her mind in turmoil...

She felt that if she didn’t make a decision soon, He Jing would get there before her...

If she agreed to Gu Heng first, at least in name she’d still be the official wife, and in the future, Gu Heng would probably favor her somewhat, right?

If she was one step too late, allowing this "green tea bitch" in her eyes to take advantage of her proximity and steal the moon, wouldn’t she have to become the concubine?

If they ended up engaging in group activities in the future, wouldn’t she be the one getting pushed from behind?

The more Lin Jiayun thought about this, the harder she bit down on her back teeth…

In her eyes, the tactics of her "plastic" best friend were far superior to her own; craving what she couldn’t have, she put on a facade of a dignified woman, but wasn’t she actually just as greedy for Gu Heng as herself?

....

....

A short while later, the salesperson who had left earlier came rushing back, gasping for air, clutching a stack of contracts.

Sun Li quickly took them and then personally handed the contract to Gu Heng, "Mr. Gu, this is the purchase contract for this top-floor penthouse."

Gu Heng had almost finished reviewing all the basic clauses of the contract. Such high-end housing wouldn’t have any tricks in the contract. After about ten minutes, confirming there were no issues, he asked Sun Li, "Do you have a pen?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Suppressing her excitement, Sun Li respectfully handed her pen to Gu Heng.

In the presence of He Jing, Lin Jiayun, Chen Hao, several staff members of Tianyanga Mansion’s sales department, and over a thousand viewers in the live stream, Gu Heng took a deep breath and heavily signed his name on the purchase contract.

Upon seeing Gu Heng complete his signature, Sun Li’s heart finally settled, and she was the first to bend forward and speak, "Congratulations, Mr. Gu, on becoming the owner of the top-floor penthouse in Block Three of Xingyao·Longhu Tianyanga Mansion. From this moment on, your satisfaction is the pursuit of all staff in our company!"

The other staff members also repeated the sentiment in unison.

Gu Heng didn’t react much to the scene, but instead took out the ordinary-looking savings card from his pocket, "My card has a single transaction limit of five million, swipe it three times and that should cover it."

As Sun Li carefully took Gu Heng’s card, Lin Jiayun’s live stream room exploded...

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"

"He actually bought it! 10.23 million! That’s enough to buy my life ten times over!"

"This is the first time I’ve truly felt the disparity in this world... I’m 40 years old this year, still struggling with a mortgage, and here’s someone in their 20s who can buy a 10-million house in cash..."

[The host has experienced the authenticity of life and acquired his first haven in the steel jungle, successfully indulging in desire. Reward: 66.66 million yuan. Balance: 702.8 million yuan.]

Before Gu Heng had time to marvel at how his wealth almost broke through a billion due to this purchase, the system’s voice sounded again.

[The host has revealed his holiness in front of the public, allowing the masses to feel the disparity in the world, successfully indulging in desire, reward of 660,000 yuan. Balance: 709.4 million yuan.]

Gu Heng: "???"

He could understand the first prompt, as nearly every time he spent money it seemed to count towards indulgence in desire...

But what did this second system prompt mean?

He had shown off his wealth several times before, but there seemed to be no prompt, the only time getting a reward was that time at FT Bar...

Suddenly, turning his head to see Lin Jiayun directing her camera at him, he guessed what was going on...

There were many people at the FT Bar that night, and there were also many people in Lin Jiayun’s live stream this time...

Could it be that he had to show off his wealth in front of a certain number of people to meet the conditions for indulging in desire?

While Gu Heng was thinking, after Sun Li cautiously swiped the card three times, she handed the bank card back to Gu Heng with care, "Mr. Gu, the 10.23 million has been deducted. Later, you will need to sign the receipt, and we will follow up with the bank...

In addition, we will immediately manage the property transfer for you, striving to get the property title within a week.

And Mr. Gu, you can move in anytime these days."

Sun Li’s words brought Gu Heng back to reality, and he nodded at her, no longer contemplating the system’s quirks...

Next time he had the chance to experiment, if the reward for showing off increased with the number of spectators, then he might have discovered a new direction for indulgence in desire...
