Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 101 Hangzhou! Your emperor is back!

"Okay, Mom, I get it.

When I get there, I'll hang up the bacon and salted fish to prevent them from going bad.

You and my dad will live in your uncle's house for two months, and then move back after the house is built.

Okay, let’s not talk about it for now. I’m about to get off the highway. I’ll call you in two days.”

After coaxing my mother, Gu Heng hung up the phone, drove carefully towards the toll booth, and joined the long queue.
Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
The Spring Festival holiday is over, and a group of office workers who have enjoyed a few days of warmth in their hometowns are about to start another year of struggle. The long queues of cars on the highway are enough to explain the problem.
Rolling down the car window, Gu Heng took out a cigarette from his pocket and slowly lit it.
I stayed at home for nearly half a month. Except for the first few days which were quite comfortable, the next ten days were simply torture.
There are endless relatives visiting every day
Some relatives rarely visited each other, but somehow they heard that Gu Heng had become rich. Almost every day, there were relatives that Gu Heng didn't know. This really made Gu Heng understand the saying that "poor people in downtown areas have no one to care about them, but rich people in remote areas have distant relatives."
Lin Ran doesn't really like people who are in a crowd. Every day, Xu Hong introduces him to so many strangers. Although he doesn't say it, he feels a little annoyed.
Besides, Qing'an had nothing to do, so she returned to Shanghai after staying there for a few days. She didn't even mention asking Gu Heng to pretend to be her boyfriend and visit her home for the New Year.
Lin Ran didn't mention it, and Gu Heng pretended to be confused.
If he really continued to get along with her so closely, Gu Heng felt that he would really fall in love with her.
Being close and distant is the most ideal state in one's mind.
I originally planned to bring my parents to Hangzhou to live for a while, and then send them back when the house in my hometown was built, but the old couple refused to agree.
The two had lived in the countryside all their lives and had rarely been out. They probably wouldn't be used to going to a big city all of a sudden, so Gu Heng didn't force them and left their hometown after the seventh day of the New Year.
I waited in line for several minutes before I reached the toll booth.
Because the Chinese New Year had just passed, even the toll collector at the toll booth was more ceremonial than before. He handed the receipt to Gu Heng with a smile and said, "Sir, there is a traffic jam ahead, please slow down.

Welcome to Hangzhou."

The toll collector is not very pretty, but the smile on her face is very healing.
Gu Heng's annoyance after being stuck on the highway for seven or eight hours was swept away. He smiled back at her, made an OK gesture, stepped on the gas, and drove away slowly.
After leaving the toll booth, although the traffic was still very congested, Gu Heng's mood was obviously much better.
During the past half month at home, he was really going crazy.

Who can understand how it feels to have nearly 100 million yuan in a card but have no chance to use it in the countryside?

I often hear people say that they can’t stand the fast-paced and extravagant life in big cities, and yearn for the life in mountain villages where one can pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely view the southern mountains.

In this regard, Gu Heng’s comment was that he was just bored.

It was obvious that those people had never experienced the hardships of life in the countryside. They had nothing. Not to mention anything else, just having to get up in the middle of the night to get food when they were hungry was torturous enough. In the city, all they had to do was tinker with their mobile phones, and in a few dozen minutes at most, delicious food would be delivered to them.

Not fragrant?

I don’t know what other rich people think, but Gu Heng, who has just tasted the benefits of being rich, just wants his life to be as extravagant as possible.
Set a small goal.
In 2024, I want to meet at least 100 girls, go to dozens of cities, and experience a life I have never experienced before.
The first stop is Hangzhou, where I have lived for five years!
The more he thought about it, the more hopeful Gu Heng felt in life. He threw his cigarette butt out of the window and wanted to shout, "Hangzhou! Your emperor is back!"

At this moment, a roar of an engine rang in his ears, and Gu Heng couldn't help but turn his head to look.
A silver and red convertible sports car was moving at the same snail's pace beside me.
The slender and smooth body of the car stands out in the traffic, especially the Ferrari logo with a yellow background and a black horse on the wheels and front of the car. Not many people would not recognize it.
Although the speed was very slow, the roar of the engine was unusually loud. Gu Heng didn't know whether it was the roar of the sports car itself or the owner deliberately made a noise to attract other people's attention. Anyway, many people around couldn't help but look over here.
Seeing this car, Gu Heng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and couldn't help showing a bit of a dog's attitude.
He is so familiar with this car, it is simply his dream car.
Ferrari 296
When he was lying in the rental house, he would lie on the bed and read the movie "Chedi".
Although I knew I would never own a sports car in my lifetime, it was not illegal to fantasize about it, right? So I became familiar with all the models of sports cars.
The owner of the Ferrari 296 was also a young man, who seemed to enjoy the attention of everyone. His smug smile was harder to suppress than an AK47. He turned his eyes and met Gu Heng's gaze.
Seeing the envy that Gu Heng inadvertently revealed in his eyes, the young man's vanity was filled even more. He wrinkled his nose slightly, glanced at him with disdain, stepped on the gas and drove forward, no longer driving side by side with Gu Heng.
Gu Heng: “???”

Am I being looked down upon by this idiot?
Is there anything wrong with this person?
My Bentley Flying Spur is almost the same price as his Ferrari 296. I don't think this idiot is envious of him.
He admitted that he was indeed envious just now, but he was only envious of the car.
But Gu Heng didn't think too much about it, and then smiled and shook his head.
If it were in the past, if someone looked at him with such disdain, Gu Heng would definitely be angry.
But now I really won’t
The main thing is that my mentality has changed.

Camille, the life mentor in League of Legends, once said, "Lies don't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife."
What always breaks people's defenses is not lies, but the truth.

For example, when playing games, if someone curses "your mother is dead", how many people will be upset? Except for a few grumpy guys, there should not be many people who will be upset.

But if the mother of the person being scolded is really dead, then the defense will be broken instantly.
Similarly, if Gu Heng was still a poor loser with nothing, the disdainful look of that young man just now would deeply hurt his self-esteem.

But unfortunately, his remaining balance was not enough to buy dozens of supercars that he was proud of.
So this kind of disdain can only be a spice in my boring journey.
But he really wanted to buy a sports car. Although the Bentley Flying Spur felt good to drive, he was only in his 20s. It would be too easy for people to misunderstand him if he drove such a car. The person driving the Falila just now probably thought he was the driver.
Although supercars are criticized for being tiring to drive.
But I am a young person.
How can young people complain about being tired?

The more he thought about it, the more Gu Heng wanted to buy a supercar.
Half an hour later, the Bentley drove into the building below Galaxy Media.
He didn't want to miss the company where he used to work like a slave, but he didn't know many people in Hangzhou. Apart from Lin Jiayun and He Jing, he had a close relationship with the others, who were just ordinary friends. There was no need to contact them.
"I'm downstairs at the company. Come down."

Gu Heng did not get out of the car, but directly sent a voice message to Lin Jiayun on WeChat.

Compared to her previous instant replies, Lin Jiayun replied very slowly this time. She waited for several minutes before the WeChat call ringtone rang.

"What are you doing?"

Having been driven away by the building security twice, Gu Heng was getting impatient and his tone was aggressive. Treating people differently is a basic skill of a scumbag.
He would not treat Lin Jiayun with the same gentle voice as he treated Lin Ran.
After all, I have already provided her with material conditions, so do I still have to satisfy her emotional values?
Hearing Gu Heng's impatient tone, Lin Jiayun quickly explained, "Why don't you find a place to park and have a cup of coffee first? There's a commotion at the company, and I can't leave for the time being. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Lin Jiayun's voice was deliberately lowered.
Gu Heng could clearly hear the noise coming from the other end of the phone.

"what happened?"

"There's a big brother in the live studio causing trouble in the company. You've been in the company for quite some time, so you should know it's not a big deal. I'll hang up first and I'll find you later."

After saying that, Lin Jiayun hung up the phone.
Looking at the chat interface where the call had been hung up, Gu Heng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, started the car, and drove towards the parking lot not far away.
On the other side, Lin Jiayun let out a long sigh after hanging up the phone, and glanced at He Jing, who was looking pale not far away, with a guilty look.
She did not tell He Jing the news that Gu Heng returned to Hangzhou. She did not let Gu Heng come up because she wanted Gu Heng to contact He Jing.

Although she has accepted the fact that Gu Heng will mess around outside in the future, this person must not be He Jing
In her heart, He Jing's position is exactly the same as hers.
If Gu Heng really gets together with He Jing, then my importance in Gu Heng's heart will definitely decrease.
So for her own happy life, she had to sacrifice her fake best friend.
“I came here today to ask you whether you are committing fraud or not?
I spent over 30 yuan, and I can't even ask you out for dinner? Are you pretending to be innocent? If you want to pretend to be innocent, why don't you just come out and be a streamer?"

The man who was speaking was a middle-aged man in his forties, named Ning Baojun, with a Douyin account called [Dabao]. He was quite famous in the Douyin live streaming circle and was a wild rich man who had spent millions.
Wearing a suit and glasses, he looks gentle, but he never stops swearing.
The person he was scolding was He Jing who was standing on the side.
At this time, He Jing's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she remained silent with the support of another female anchor next to her.
Just as Lin Jiayun said to Gu Heng just now, this kind of situation is commonplace for Internet celebrity media companies that rely on anchors to make money. Almost every once in a while, someone will come up and make a scene.
2024 years
Those big brothers who consumed content in the live broadcast room also understood it.

There are no longer those big guys who mindlessly brushed in the live broadcast room in the early years.
The wild big guys who can still consume in the live broadcast room now all have clear goals. If the big guys’ wishes cannot be met, they will immediately change their goals.

But there is always a group of people who spend a lot of money but are still being lured. They will come directly to the door out of anger and shame.
Many anchors in the company have encountered this situation, but this was the first time for He Jing, who has always been a Buddhist broadcaster. She was in a state of panic.
"Don't play dead! Either go out for dinner with me today, or return all the 30+ tickets I spent in such a short period of time!"

Seeing He Jing remained silent, Ning Baojun was so angry that he grabbed a potted plant on the table next to him and threw it to the ground.
The loud noise frightened many of the female colleagues who were watching and screamed.
Only He Jing's face became paler
Although they were just fake best friends, they still had some friendship. Seeing this, Lin Jiayun immediately stood in front of He Jing and pointed at Ning Baojun's nose and shouted, "Don't go crazy here! No one forced you to give gifts in the live broadcast room!

If you cause trouble again, I will call the police right now!"

As he said this, he took out his cell phone and prepared to call the police.

He Jing saw Lin Jiayun standing in front of her and looked at her gratefully. Seeing this, Lin Jiayun whispered a few words to comfort her.
Zhang Yang, the boss of Xinghe Media, who had been pretending to be dead, heard this and quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't call the police yet!"

Who were the people who came to the company to cause trouble in the past?

They are the ones who swiped the trash but ended up not even touching the anchor’s hand.

For this kind of person, just report to the police, it won't cause any trouble anyway.
But the Ning Baojun in front of him is different.
As a well-known big brother in the circle, it is better not to offend if you can.
If we really call the police, we will be completely at odds.
Not only the entertainment industry is a circle, the Internet celebrity circle is also a circle
Of course it's okay to have a falling out. Now we live in a society ruled by law, and he is not afraid of being hacked to death.

But what if Ning Baojun, after the falling out, spreads some propaganda, or spends money to stir up public opinion, saying that Xinghe Media is a fraud and induces consumption? The reputation of Internet celebrities is too bad, and any public opinion will be infinitely magnified by netizens who like to watch the show.

If this happens, the impact on the company can be fatal.
His entire fortune is in Galaxy Media, and he can't afford to take this risk.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang first comforted Ning Baojun with a smile on his face, then turned to He Jing and said, "Jingjing, what's wrong with you just accompanying Mr. Bao for a meal? Mr. Bao is the only big brother in your live broadcast room. What good will it do you if you make Mr. Bao angry?"

He said, and winked at her.
Ning Baojun listened to Zhang Yang's words and nodded in satisfaction.
Zhang Yang's words gave him enough face.
But He Jing's eyes widened, not quite believing that the man in front of her was her boss who was usually so kind to her and coaxed her.
Zhang Yang saw He Jing's look and looked back at her without feeling guilty.
It’s true that He Jing is the top lady in the company.

But compared to the importance of her company, her weight is not enough.
If the first sister is gone, he can spend some money to create a new one, but if the money is gone, he will have nothing.
He Jing always thought that the company treated her well and allowed her to have a bad live broadcast. She didn't need to appease her big brother like other anchors. She just needed to focus on filming web dramas and maintaining fan stickiness so as to take on advertisements.

So she can accept a lower profit share.
After all, she didn't have as big an ambition as Lin Jiayun. She just wanted to buy a house in Hangzhou and have enough food and clothing.
But it was not until this moment that she realized that the previous respectability seemed to be her wishful thinking. In fact, she was just a pure money-making tool for the company.
At this moment, Gu Heng, who had already parked his car, walked in from outside the company gate.
Looking at the company office area that was already crowded with people, and then at the mess on the ground, he asked, "What's going on?"
