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

Chapter 74 Should the World Be So Small?
11 o'clock in the morning.

Gu Heng drove to the location that Gu Xinran sent him, which was downstairs of the Lujiazui World Financial Center in Shanghai.

He found a place to park his car and looked at the endless stream of cars in Lujiazui. Gu Heng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder Shanghai is said to be the place with the highest concentration of wealthy people in China.

Especially in financial and business centers like Lujiazui, there are rich people everywhere.
Just like the joke on the Internet, in Beijing, one brick can kill three department-level officials.

In Shanghai?
One brick could kill three billionaires.
Luxury cars that are rarely seen on the streets, such as Maybach, can be seen almost every once in a while.
Previously, Gu Heng thought that with his nearly 100 million yuan in assets, he should be considered one of the top few in China. Now it seems that he was too arrogant.
Assets worth hundreds of millions may already be the ceiling of imagination in the eyes of ordinary people.

But compared with the real big guys, there is still a certain distance. After all, their villas may be worth nine figures.
Fortunately, Gu Heng doesn't have too big ambitions, so he won't feel any sense of disappointment.

In just a few days, I have become a billionaire with assets of nearly 4500 million yuan from a yuan monthly salary thanks to the system's reward. What else do I want? And as long as I continue to enjoy life and indulge myself, I may become a world-class giant in the future who can shake the global economy with just a stomp of my feet.

Having fantasized about this, Gu Heng didn’t think any more about it. He leaned against the car door, lit a cigarette, and without making a phone call, he took a photo and sent it to Gu Xinran.

"Understand?"

Gu Xinran: “I understand!!!”

Looking at Gu Xinran's reply, Gu Heng smiled with satisfaction.

This is how the post-00s communicate with each other!
There is no need to say a single word.

Gu Heng, who was leaning against the car door and feeling bored, was smoking a cigarette while looking around this world-class city known as the "Magic City".

When Gu Heng's eyes swept to the floor sign of the World Financial Building, he couldn't help but take another look.
【Hillhouse Capital Shanghai Headquarters → 37F】

If it was a few days ago, Gu Heng would have absolutely no reaction when he saw the words Hillhouse Capital.
But now I have an inexplicable liking for this company, just like seeing my girlfriend’s hometown.

As for why?
Although he has never worked at Hillhouse Capital, he has been a senior executive at Hillhouse Capital.

Doesn't this mean that I can barely be a part of this company?
Moreover, it was my first time in Shanghai, and I was able to come to the building where Lin Ran worked. It was also a kind of fate.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng forwarded the photo he had just sent to Gu Xinran to Lin Ran.
Fortunately, although Lin Ran was tortured by Gu Heng for a whole night, he did not block him and the photos were quickly sent out.
Lin Ran, who had just finished processing project documents on the 37th floor of the Financial Center Building, stretched his body and heard the phone on his desk ring.
When he opened his phone and saw that the person who sent the message was Gu Heng, Lin Ran smiled subconsciously.
I originally thought that after being a couple in bed for one night, they would not have any contact in the short term, but I didn't expect that Gu Heng would contact me on his own initiative after just a few days.
Gently click on the chat interface between the two.

Enlarging the only photo in the chat, Lin Ran's delicate features suddenly froze.
She has worked in this building for several years and is so familiar with the building in the photo.
Lin Ran: “!!!”

"You've come to Shanghai?"

Ding dong.

Gu Heng's message came back quickly.

"If the navigation is correct, I should be at the Lujiazui World Financial Center."

Originally, Lin Ran acted calmly in the face of Gu Heng's news.
But when she found out that Gu Heng was just downstairs from her company, she started to panic.
Human beings, regardless of gender or how high their position is, will always have a special feeling for the other party with whom they have given their first time.

Lin Ran pushed Gu Heng in a confused manner in Wuzhen at that time, and then left Wuzhen and returned to Shanghai the next day, and never contacted him again.

Seems very free and easy.

But in fact, she was still struggling for a few days after the madness, otherwise she would not have run away without even seeing Gu Heng the next day.

This dilemma was not resolved until I devoted myself to my work.

Now that things have finally calmed down a bit, Gu Heng suddenly appears downstairs of her company, and it's hard for her not to have wild thoughts.
"Could it be that he thinks that I am the kind of woman who can be easily taken advantage of and wants to date me again? No, he should not be short of women."

"Or does he want to threaten me with this? That's not right. He has money."

While trying to figure out why Gu Heng suddenly came to Shanghai, he overturned it in his mind.
Lin Ran was getting more and more confused the more he thought about it, so he simply stopped thinking about it. It was time for a lunch break, so he just tapped on his phone screen: "I'm going downstairs now, wait for me at the entrance of the building."

Gu Heng couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Ran's reply.

This girl is quite proactive.
This trip to Shanghai was barely not in vain, as I got a chance to meet up with an old friend. If we can have another friendly match, I can go back home for a day that night.

After all, I was pushed back last time and my desire to conquer was not satisfied.

This time I tried a frontal push to satisfy my desire to conquer, and then I sent an OK emoticon on my phone.

After receiving the expression from Gu Heng, Lin Ran did not hesitate. He stood up, opened the office door and walked out.

The first floor of the World Financial Center is more than 3,000 square meters, and a Fortune 500 company like Hillhouse Capital, even if it is just a city headquarters, would never share a floor with other companies.

Although she was only a deputy director, she was already an absolute senior executive. So in the short distance from the project department to the elevator entrance, almost everyone who saw Lin Ran would subconsciously greet her.

Lin Ran, who was already used to it, did not ignore it, but did not show much expression either. He just nodded slightly without stopping.

"Miao Miao, hurry up, you won't be able to squeeze into the elevator when the break time comes!" Just when Lin Ran was still wondering why Gu Heng came to find him, he heard a shout behind him and looked back with a frown.
Gu Xinran, who was still urging Tao Miaomiao, happened to meet her gaze.
Although she was just an intern, her boss had already asked her to remember all the company leaders on her first day. Seeing Lin Ran's expressionless face, Gu Xinran's heart skipped a beat and she almost suffocated.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly imitated the new employees in TV dramas, bowed and said, "Good afternoon, Director Lin!"

Seeing Gu Xinran's reaction, Lin Ran had roughly guessed that it was an intern from the company. He just nodded politely and turned away again.
For certain political reasons, large companies like Hillhouse Capital will set aside a certain number of internship places for some of Shanghai's top universities every year, but in reality it is just a formality. Almost no interns can stay. Most of them will just be stamped on their internship certificate after the internship period and let them pack up and leave.

But even so, there are still countless talented people fighting for such an internship opportunity. After all, if you have an additional qualification of "interned in a Fortune 500 company" on your resume, no matter which company you join later, your value will not only double, but it can also be considered an extra layer of gold.

However, these so-called chosen ones had no weight in front of Lin Ran. She didn't even remember that there were such people in the company, so naturally she didn't even have the desire to speak.

After a long while, Tao Miaomiao finally arrived. Gu Xinran, who was shocked by Lin Ran, said with lingering fear: "I think Director Lin disliked me just now."

Under normal circumstances, Tao Miaomiao's reflexes were fine. Upon hearing this, she straightened her ponytails, her big eyes filled with clear stupidity: "Which Director Lin?"

"Who else could it be? It was the youngest deputy director of our company, Lin Ran, who was introduced to us by the training supervisor on our first day of training."

"Ah? Why does she hate you?"

Tao Miaomiao opened her mouth in surprise after hearing this.

Seeing her silly look, Gu Xinran was furious.
"It's because you're too slow. I was shouting at you too loudly just now, and I think I disturbed her."

When Tao Miaomiao heard that the problem was still with her, her originally fair face instantly showed a guilty pink, she lowered her head and whispered: "I'm sorry"

"This is the twenty-first time you've said sorry today!"

After saying this, Gu Xinran, who was originally somewhat complaining about her slowness, directly took Tao Miaomiao's arm and said, "I really don't know how you developed this personality of admitting mistakes. I haven't even gotten angry with you yet, but you've already admitted your mistake.

I just can’t even get angry with you.”

Seeing that her best friend had forgiven her, Tao Miaomiao still felt guilty, but she also smiled.

"Isn't it because of me that you offended her? I'll go and apologize for you later."

"Okay, okay, you're addicted to apologizing, right?
When I say offended, I mean I think I offended her. In fact, she may not even know who I am. It’s not a big deal. We are just here to get the internship certificate. Even if I really offended her, it’s just that.”

After saying that, thinking that Gu Heng was still waiting for him downstairs, Gu Xinran hurriedly grabbed Tao Miaomiao's hand and ran towards the stairs.

"Hurry up, my brother is waiting for us downstairs~ We can finally go home~"

When he arrived at the elevator, he saw the man in the burgundy coat still there. Gu Xinran's originally excited expression froze.
As the elevator door opened, Lin Ran walked straight in. Gu Xinran hesitated for a while and then followed in holding Tao Miaomiao's hand.
Mainly because the other elevators were still far from the 37th floor, so he had no choice but to stay in the same room with Lin Ran.
Lin Ran also saw the two people walking in out of the corner of his eye, but he didn't even raise his head and continued to look at his phone.

As the elevator started, the space inside seemed to freeze.
A few minutes later.

As Lin Ran took the lead in stepping out of the elevator door, Gu Xinran and Tao Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief.
God knows what it's like to be in the same elevator with Lin Ran, the boss of your boss.
The natural level of domination of the superior over the inferior is simply too suffocating.
However, looking at Lin Ran's dashing back, Gu Xinran and Tao Miaomiao couldn't help but look at each other, and saw the envy in each other's eyes.
It is a woman's nature to admire the strong.

Even if the object of envy is also a woman.

Gu Heng, who was standing at the entrance of the building and almost getting impatient, saw Lin Ran, who was still wearing a burgundy coat, and smiled and raised his hand to signal.
In the elevator, Lin Ran kept thinking about what attitude he would have when he saw Gu Heng again.

But until he saw his face, Lin Ran couldn't help but smile.

Although I haven't been in contact with Gu Heng for a long time, I still have a good impression of this wealthy but unexpectedly down-to-earth boy.
Whether it's the bed.

Or under the bed
Just as Lin Ran raised her hand to respond, a small figure scurried out from beside her like a big black rat, speaking in a dialect that she couldn't understand, and then hung on Gu Heng like an octopus.
"Ah! Brother! I miss you so much!"

Seeing Gu Xinran hanging on Gu Heng's neck and acting like a spoiled child, Lin Ran's hand, which had not yet been raised, suddenly froze.
If it was a normal time, when Gu Xinran came up to me so intimately, I would definitely rub her head, but compared to my old lover, I would lose my own sister, let alone my cousin.
Without hesitation, he picked up Gu Xinran like a puppy while she looked aggrieved, then walked in front of Lin Ran and just smiled without saying a word.

Originally, Lin Ran was quite happy to see Gu Heng again.
But after seeing Gu Xinran throwing herself at Gu Heng, she couldn't feel happy at all and could only stare at Gu Heng. If he dared to talk about what happened in Wuzhen, she would cover his mouth immediately.
If people in my company knew that I had a one-night stand during my last few days off, I would probably have to take a train and leave the city.
Gu Xinran, who was standing next to Gu Heng, looked at the two people. Even if she was not very smart, she could tell that they obviously knew each other. She was stunned.
I work in the same company and on the same floor as Director Lin, but I have no right to know her. How did my cousin know her? ? ? ?

Seeing Lin Ran's straight eyes, Gu Heng probably guessed what Lin Ran was thinking. His cousin just spoke in dialect, which Lin Ran definitely couldn't understand. He probably guessed the relationship between the two wrongly. Thinking of this, he directly dragged Gu Xinran in front of her and said, "Let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Gu Xinran."

Just when she was about to introduce Lin Ran to Gu Xinran, Gu Xinran could only smile awkwardly and greet again: "Hello, Director Lin."

Gu Heng: “???”

Hearing Gu Xinran's call, Gu Heng couldn't help but blink.
Could it be that his cousin’s internship company is Hillhouse Capital where Lin Ran works?

Should this world be so small?

The person you had a one-night stand with was your cousin’s boss?
