How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 519 - 238: I Invest, Not Charity

"Son, I don't know what happened between you and Ranran, but you listen to mom, Ranran is a good girl, you can't miss out on her, when you are done with the family matters, you should go find her and clarify things."

In Xu Hong's eyes,

Lin Ran truly was a good girl.

As a city girl and a leader of a big company, she did not put on any airs.

Especially during the New Year, when our house was not yet built, Lin Ran traveled all the way from Shanghai, without a place to stay, and had to rely on Gu Heng to take her to a hotel in town.

If this had been in the past, treating a new bride like this on her first visit would have directly ruined the marriage.

But Lin Ran...

Not only didn't she mind, she also affectionately called us uncle and aunt, and even helped with the household chores...

Especially on her birthday, she just sent a WeChat message and then drove all the way to celebrate it, where could you find such a good daughter-in-law?

Thinking about this, Xu Hong also couldn't help but nag.

Gu Heng was also annoyed, but not by Xu Hong's nagging, rather by the feeling of things getting out of control...

After all, it was still a man's desire to control...

As his fortune and status grew, Gu Heng's desire to control gradually increased...

Before, although there wasn't a confirmed relationship with Lin Ran, it was not much different from being boyfriend and girlfriend...

Now, Lin Ran suddenly making this move had taken everything out of his control...

Saying Gu Heng was a scumbag might be one thing...

Either way, he absolutely did not want to miss out on Lin Ran...

Of course, he wouldn't sever his relationships with Lin Jiayun, He Jing, and the other women just because of one person...

It was selfish, but unavoidable; only children make choices, adults want it all...

After soothing Xu Hong, Gu Heng didn't say much and directly headed to the fleet of cars parked outside in the yard, by the roadside, and got into the Bentley in the center...

This time, it was for a meeting with Mr. He in the county about investment matters, not a trip for leisure, so Gu Heng didn't bring He Jing or Lin Jiayun along, and an investment team from IDE Capital was already in place, and had informed Gu Heng by phone that all the county leaders were waiting for his arrival.

...

...

Gu Heng's town was only about twenty kilometers from the county.

Plus, with good national policies in recent years and infrastructure in place, the road conditions could not have been better.

Moreover, compared to the congestion of big cities, these rural county roads were usually clear of traffic, with hardly any vehicles passing by, let alone congestion, ensuring a comfortable trip for Gu Heng, the twenty-kilometer journey took less than twenty minutes to reach the county.

Although Wanghu County was a poor county,

the economic situation wasn't bad enough to be disdainful...

The county area was quite well built, and although it could not compare with the skyscrapers in the big cities, it was much stronger than the towns under its jurisdiction in terms of road environment.

Just entering the county area, thinking back to the rows of rural self-built houses seen along the road, it was a completely different picture, one still rural and the other already completely urbanized...

At the first red traffic light intersection, there were already quite a few cars waiting for the light.

As Gu Heng's fleet arrived, the surrounding pedestrians and drivers couldn't help but stare...

Wanghu County might be poor, but it wasn't lacking in rich people...

Usually, one could spot quite a few luxury cars on the roads, although there were none like Lamborghini or Ferrari supercars.

But Land Rover, Porsche, and the like from the BBA series weren't rare at all.

But Gu Heng's fleet definitely surprised the passersby, the older ones stopped to discuss, and the younger ones kept up with the times by starting to take videos with their phones, planning to post them on TikTok later...

It wasn't that they hadn't seen the world...

It was just that Gu Heng was too ostentatious...

A fleet of seven luxury cars, six black Maybach S680 series business vehicles, and the Bentley in the center need not be mentioned, although this model was gradually falling out of favor, as a classic business vehicle that could compete with the likes of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, its status was naturally unquestionable.

It's no exaggeration to say, any of the seven cars in the fleet, even individually, could make people in this small county stop and watch, let alone seeing all seven appear together.

Moreover, all seven vehicles had Jingcheng plates, and consecutive ones at that, which significantly boosted their prestige.

"Wow, what's going on, is some VIP coming for inspection?"

"Probably not, look at those license plates, they're all blue backgrounds, all private registrations, and if it really were a VIP, they would definitely be in an Audi or a Hongqi, right?

Look at these cars, Bentley, Maybach, each costing millions, what kind of leader would use such cars for inspections? That's just asking for trouble."

"Who says VIPs have to be officials? Aren't those big bosses VIPs?"

"That's true, probably some big boss from Jingcheng down here to survey, the neighboring county has already started a development zone, I guess our county leaders also don't want to fall behind, starting to push forward, if they really manage to develop Wanghu, we could get quite some benefits too."

"Come on, we're just small commoners who hang around in the county, what benefits would fall to us? Daydreaming."
