How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 452 - 207 High-profile Entrance_2
"Shouldn’t SOS have an event tonight?"
"There’s no way it’s an event. Each of these influencers charges upwards of 100,000 for a personal appearance, and some have tens of millions of followers— their fees are just ridiculous. Do you think SOS, being as frugal as they are, would want to spend two to three million in one night for an event?"

"Exactly, and even if it were an event, with such a big show, they’d have promoted it beforehand, right? Have you guys heard anything these past few days? I’m a lifetime member of SOS, and they usually inform me about events in advance. I didn’t receive a single message this time..."
Despite the low volume, the collective buzz was quite significant...
Gu Heng had faintly heard these discussions too but simply smiled lightly, not really minding.
It’s quite normal to be talked about when conducting oneself so prominently.
He decided not to dwell on it and proceeded to walk towards the bar.
As the group of influencers got closer, the chatter grew louder...
"Is that Ms. Cheng? I follow her on TikTok, no mistake!"
"And Yumeng, Liu Siyao, A Sip of Milk Cap, Yan Jin..."
"My gosh, I just realized they’re all from Wuyou Media. Are they capturing the whole of Wuyou Media in one go?"
The focus of the conversations shifted toward the influencers. In Hang City, the city of influencers, influencers truly were the talk of the town. Encountering more than a dozen at once certainly sparked a few extra chats...
But soon, a young man steered the conversation astray...
"No, why focus only on these influencers? Why not pay some attention to that guy?"
"The guy? What about him? He’s not even as handsome as I am."
"..."
"No, are you sick? What’s handsomeness got to do with anything? Can’t you see that all these influencers are following this guy? It’s obvious he brought them here!"
"That’s unlikely... right?"
Although he said this, it was clear, even to himself, that he couldn’t convince himself...
If it wasn’t Gu Heng who brought them out, why would they emerge from the same fleet of cars and then cling tightly behind Gu Heng?
"Could this guy be the legendary boss of Wuyou?"
"No, I’ve met the boss of Wuyou, an old bald, short, and fat middle-aged man. This guy might not be very handsome, but he’s at least a hundred times more charismatic than that Wuyou boss..."
"Is he some big-shot influencer? Like Tong Jingcheng who does outdoor activities?"
"That’s even more impossible. How would you have an influencer who can collaborate with so many high-profile influencers not be recognized? I think he looks a bit like..."
"Like what?"
"Like a rich second-generation..."
Upon hearing this, everyone around seemed to have an epiphany...
If Gu Heng were an incredibly powerful rich second-generation, that would explain the grandeur and the crowd of influencers around him...
When you have money, you can play however you want!
And the topic of discussion shifted entirely onto Gu Heng...
Gu Heng had decent hearing and could catch the snippets of people discussing him, yet he couldn’t be bothered to even shift his gaze, continuing straight toward the interior of SOS...
It wasn’t an act of calmness, but genuinely no ripples disturbed him.
Previously, being the subject of such attention and discussion might have excited Gu Heng enough to quicken his heartbeat...
But now...
Such minor scenes no longer stirred Mr. Gu’s heartstrings...
Just then, a familiar figure ran toward him, though stopped by security guards two meters away, waving and shouting "Mr. Gu"...
Lin Jiayun, standing beside Gu Heng, worried he might not remember who the person was, quickly reminded him, "This is Jiajun. I messaged him a few minutes ago that we were about to arrive; he’s probably here to lead us in."
In fact, Gu Heng had already remembered him.
After all, it had only been a few months since he last patronized the TF bar. Although his worth had escalated from tens of millions to tens of billions, it wasn’t a long time, so of course, he couldn’t forget.
He then waved in that direction, and casually said to his bodyguard, "Let him come over, he’s the marketer tonight."
Only when they heard Gu Heng’s voice did the bodyguard let Jiajun come over.
Seeing Gu Heng again, Jiajun felt a sense of how much things had changed...
A few months ago, although he knew Gu Heng was wealthy, he thought Gu Heng was just another rich second generation, so at that time, although he was very respectful to Gu Heng, it wasn’t exactly humble...
But ever since Lin Jiayun told him to look up "Gu Heng" online that evening, Jiajun’s worldview completely collapsed...
This wasn’t just any rich second generation; standing in front of him was practically a deity...
A deity who could spend 6 billion on two private jets!
He had of course also come across some negative comments about Gu Heng online, but whether they were true or false, he didn’t care at all...
All he knew was that the Gu Heng before him was his bread and butter! A single expenditure from him could keep him comfortable for months, or even years, without any effort...
Despite all the cursing online, if they were given a chance to suck up to Gu Heng, they’d do it even more fiercely than him!
Thinking of this, Jiajun showed a servile and fawning attitude, "Mr. Gu, welcome to SOS, our boss and all the major shareholders are waiting for you at the entrance."
Gu Heng graciously accepted Jiajun’s sycophancy, smiling as he responded, "I heard from Jiayun that you’ve started leading a team now? Congratulations on your promotion, I thought you’d make a name for yourself in this business when I first met you, and it looks like I wasn’t wrong."
A simple compliment from Gu Heng made Jiajun blush with excitement:
"Mr. Gu, you’re joking. What little achievements I have are nothing, and honestly, any further progress is all thanks to you and Sister Lin. Without your support, I might have ended up screwing in bolts at some electronics factory."
Gu Heng laughed, guessing that Lin Jiayun probably hadn’t spared her expenses on nightclubs.
However, he chose not to continue the pleasantries with Jiajun; after all, Jiajun was just a minor character. Even his dealings with high-level bosses like Lei Yibin were only superficial, so maintaining a relationship with a nightclub marketer was certainly out of the question...
In truth, having a chat with him was more out of nostalgia than anything else.
Jiajun, always keen to read the room, noted the expression on Gu Heng’s face and promptly said, "Mr. Gu, let’s go inside. It’s hot outside, and I’ve already reserved the largest VIP booth for you in SOS."
Gu Heng nodded slightly and, followed by a group of internet celebrities, headed towards the interior of SOS, the onlookers consciously stepping aside to clear a path...
As for criticizing Gu Heng for not queuing?
Only someone crazy would do that...
They were all too aware of their place: accuse Gu Heng of skipping the line, and it wouldn’t be his bodyguard who needed to act; the security at SOS could very well throw them out...
As Gu Heng moved forward, the owner and shareholders of SOS bar also hurriedly came up to greet him.

However, Gu Heng’s response was limited to nodding, not even as familiar as with Jiajun...
It wasn’t until Gu Heng had fully entered the inside of SOS that the customers waiting outside started to queue again, but the chatter didn’t fade—instead, it grew louder...
"Who is this guy? Even the owner of SOS came out to welcome him, what a grand scene?"
"Who knows which rich second generation he is? Not all of them flaunt their status like Principal Wang..."
Suddenly, a shout from a young man drew everyone’s attention...
"Holy shit!!"
"Holy shit!!"
"Holy shit!!"
"I knew he looked familiar, I just took a photo and recognized him on TikTok, I wasn’t wrong!"
"What weren’t you wrong about?"
Listening to the anxious inquiries around him, the guy called out again,
"Damn, do you guys know who just went in? It’s the tycoon Gu Heng who was cursed to madness on TikTok, the one who spent 6 billion on private jets! It’s hard to explain, just search ’Gu Heng’ on your phones on TikTok, Weibo, or Baidu, and compare for yourselves!"
Suddenly, whether believers or skeptics, everyone started searching "Gu Heng" on their phones on TikTok, Weibo, and Baidu...
