How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 449 - 206: Seeing Him is Like Seeing a God
After having said all that needed to be conveyed, Gu Heng smiled and asked, "Have you guys eaten yet? Why don’t you sit down and have some?"
"No need, Mr. Gu, we had an airplane meal and we’re not hungry."
Hearing Gu Heng’s words, several employees involuntarily glanced at the dishes on the table and swallowed their saliva subtly. Although they were not sure about the value of the feast before them, it definitely couldn’t be cheap—after all, this was Xinrongji...
But even if it were extravagant, they could never agree...
In their eyes, Gu Heng was just being polite. If they really agreed, it would mean they knew no better...
After all, although Gu Heng was a few years younger than them on average, he was their bona fide boss. Not to mention dining with the boss, they hadn’t even dared to think about dining at the same table as a supervisor...
Dine with the boss? Wouldn’t that be jinxing themselves?
Gu Heng looked at their awkward expressions and guessed what they were thinking, shaking his head slightly.
He wasn’t just being polite; he genuinely wanted them to sit down and eat... Explore more stories at novelbuddy
He was always generous with his employees, especially since they had come all the way from Jingcheng. He wouldn’t be stingy now.
However, he also knew that the hierarchical unwritten rules that had been in place for thousands of years were deeply ingrained. Even if he forced them to stay, they wouldn’t enjoy their meal. Consequently, he said, "The food on the plane is not even enough to feed a cat, how could it be filling?
Alright, I won’t force you. Get another private room here at Xinrongji, eat whatever you want, consider it a business trip allowance. Just get the receipt and expense it later."
The employees wanted to say something more, but Gu Heng’s hand was already waving them off, "Stop the talk, go on, go on."
Seeing that Gu Heng was getting impatient, they didn’t say anything more. After expressing their gratitude profusely, they left the private room to go open a table at the front desk. IDE Capital, although not large in scale, definitely offered top-tier benefits for its employees. Even the ordinary finance staff like them had a monthly salary starting in the tens of thousands. With benefits and bonuses, their annual income could reach more than 200,000...
But even with such good treatment, they normally couldn’t afford to eat and drink lavishly at a well-known restaurant like Xinrongji...
Now that they had Gu Heng’s decree, they had no reservations...
Who wouldn’t be happy to eat and drink by command?
The more they thought about it, the clearer the smiles on their faces became. They had been complaining about the hasty business trip, but now there wasn’t a hint of complaint left...
An utterly ordinary business trip, staying in a five-star hotel, dining in a Michelin restaurant—it was better than a vacation. What was there to complain about?
Looking at the whole world, what other company could do this?
Apart from a boss like Gu Heng, who didn’t care about money, there was no second one...

Although the employees had already left, the private room was still eerily quiet.
Everyone was still immersed in the shock of the 7 billion tax declaration amount...
Gu Heng had expected this scene and just smiled lightly...
Indeed, he had done it on purpose...
But it wasn’t about showing off, although that was a part of it, but not much.
Mainly, he thought about the fact that his next moves would make a big splash. Eventually, even if it wasn’t widely known across the country, most netizens would be clear about it. There was no need to hide...
What he had least enjoyed about novels was when a character got money and insisted on being low-key, plotting ways to be a "wolf in sheep’s clothing." It had always disgusted him...
His money, even though it came from a system, was completely legal. He even paid taxes at the highest bracket. What need was there to be low-key? When it was time to be high-profile, he couldn’t possibly be any less conspicuous!
With this in mind, Gu Heng didn’t speak and just quietly continued eating his meal...
The first to snap out of it was Lei Yibin. After all, he was a big boss who had seen the world and wouldn’t be stupefied like these online celebrities at this moment.
But even though he had recovered, he didn’t dare to ask Gu Heng what was going on, his curiosity was almost killing him...
More than a hundred billion in profit...
If he could get even one percent of Gu Heng’s profit margin, he wouldn’t need to run this crappy Wuyou Media to be a rich man for the rest of his life...
As the group of celebs gradually came out of their shock, Lin Jiayun, who considered herself the closest to Gu Heng, couldn’t hold back her curiosity and whispered to him, "Gu Heng, what was that you said about declaring taxes?"
"It’s just legal tax declaration."
As Gu Heng casually responded, chewing on a golden piece of Spanish mackerel, Lei Yibin was already all ears, wanting to hear how Gu Heng had made his money. He didn’t dare to ask directly, but with Lin Jiayun, Gu Heng’s sidekick, asking, it should be fine for him to eavesdrop, right?
Lin Jiayun also continued to inquire cooperatively, "Then why do you have to declare so much tax, 7 billion... and it’s personal income tax..."
"I have 100,000 small fund accounts in the foreign exchange market, and I’ve hired more than a dozen financial teams to operate them for me. This over 150 billion is the financial gain from the first half of the year. Personal income tax in the United States is relatively low, but there are several layers of taxation on these financial incomes. My economic team behind me did the math, and if I declared this money domestically, I would save over 20 billion, so I transferred all the funds back to China."
