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

Chapter 20: When Has Showing Off Ever Gone Out of Style?

Gu Heng watched the scene unfold, and even forgot how to use his phone...

This was the first time he had seen an authentic nightclub show-off scene...

Although he didn’t know what the "Big Three Yuan" mentioned in the marketing spiel was, it must be something similar to the "Shenlong Suit"...

Although he had never witnessed the show-off scene of the Shenlong Suit in person, he had read plenty of novels about it, where didn’t each protagonist visiting nightclubs have to flaunt a couple of Shenlong Suits?

However...

Now, those novels about flaunting the Shenlong Suit had become less common...

He had thought the Shenlong Suit was outdated, but seeing the reaction of the people in the bar, Gu Heng realized it was not outdated at all...

When he thought about it...

Show-off scenes never become outdated, do they?

Even in eight hundred years, as long as there are nightclubs, there will definitely be people continuing to show off...

Thinking about this stirred something in Gu Heng’s heart...

Should he also try this out for himself?

......

Sometimes, desire is like Pandora’s box.

Once opened, it cannot be controlled.

Does showing off count as a desire?

Of course it does!

It’s just that showing off might only be the most superficial and easily attained of human desires...

After seeing others successfully show off, the originally slight idea in Gu Heng’s mind began to expand rapidly within a very short period, swelling to the point he almost couldn’t suppress it...

The only reason he hadn’t acted yet was because the consumer mindset he had developed over more than 20 years was contending with his desires...

Suddenly...

The Construction Bank app finally refreshed.

After reflexively entering his password, the account balance appeared before Gu Heng...

Ignoring the insignificant digits at the end, the prefix 2.2 million acted like the key to Pandora’s box, completely unleashing what Gu Heng was pondering...

2.2 million!

I fucking have 2.2 million!

Why shouldn’t I show off?

At this moment, Lin Jiayun’s gaze was still following the procession of wine deliveries and failed to see the figures on Gu Heng’s phone. Just as she turned around, she suddenly noticed Gu Heng standing up.

"Hmm? Gu Heng, what are you doing?"

"Mr. Gu, have you chosen the drink you’d like to order?"

He had a premonition that Mr. Gu in front of him might place an order as big as the Big Three Yuan!

Though it wasn’t the first time he had handled big orders, his heart always inevitably thumped every time—probably a common condition among salespeople?

Seeing Jiajun’s hopeful eyes, Gu Heng shook his head.

"Ah?"

"Is there not a drink Mr. Gu is satisfied with?"

Thinking that Gu Heng had given up on placing an order, the light in Jiajun’s eyes faded quickly, but he still forced a smile and asked.

"It’s too troublesome to look like this."

Having said that, he looked into Jiajun’s eyes and spoke calmly, "Now use a calculator to tell me how much it would cost to buy one of each item listed on this drink menu."

"!!!"

Indeed, he hadn’t misjudged the man!

The big order really came!

Standing next to Gu Heng, the three women also experienced a collective pupil dilation after hearing this...

Although they were not sure how much all the drinks on the menu would cost, they knew it wouldn’t be cheap...

He Jing was the first to react; she walked up to Gu Heng and was just about to speak when Gu Heng stopped her.

"I know what you’re going to say, but could you wait a moment longer?"

After saying it, he even winked at her to show that he was in a perfectly normal mental state.

As for Lin Jiayun...

She no longer wanted to check the balance on Gu Heng’s bank card, the idea of pursuing him had fully formed.

Even if Gu Heng had only won a lottery ticket, she would accept it, because the current Gu Heng was just damn handsome...

"Mr. Gu, I’ve calculated it for you—it’s a total of 345,620 yuan. I can round it down to 340,000 yuan for you," Jiajun said.

By now, Gu Heng had returned to his seat on the booth sofa, listening to the price Jiajun had quoted without much emotional fluctuation, he nodded and said, "Okay, bring me that set.

However, before ordering the drinks, I have a small request."

"Mr. Gu, please say!"

A 340,000 yuan order! It even exceeded his monthly sales target by 40,000 yuan; not to mention a small request, right now if Mr. Gu asked him to shout ’dad’ out loud, he would do it without hesitation.

"It’s nothing difficult.

Not to keep things from you, today is my first time coming to a bar like this, and ordering all this wine isn’t for anything but to create some wonderful memories for my first time.

Just this one thing, can you satisfy it for me?"

"Absolutely!"
