How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 523 - 240: Shanghai
After the initial investment negotiations concluded, Gu Heng's home practically became a gathering spot for Wanghu County.
Not only would the county leaders find excuses to come and cozy up to Gu Heng, but plenty of town leaders and businessmen were also eager to get close...
The main reason was that small-town secrets couldn't be kept under wraps...
Gu Heng's investment cooperation with the county government was impossible to hide...
Although discussions about building the new energy battery factory and developing the county's industrial zone were still ongoing, and it wouldn't be finalized for two or three months, the tourism project and several other medium and small projects had already spread like wildfire...
The total investment was 65 million...
To Gu Heng, this sum of money was chump change.
But to the local bosses living in Wanghu County, it was an astronomical figure...
The people who came to Gu Heng's house were mainly there for two purposes.
One was to secure the contracts for these investment projects.
The other was to attract Gu Heng's investment...
Gu Heng's recent days at home could be described in four words: utterly annoyed...
These visitors not only wanted to discuss investments, but they also always managed to forge some kinship with Gu Heng, like some distant big cousin or an uncle from the main family branch with whom they hadn't been in touch for dozens of years, all swarming out of the woodwork...
Because of these people, Gu Heng truly understood the saying, "In poverty no one asks about you, but in wealth even distant relatives find you"...
He had grown up without realizing that he had so many relatives...
And these relatives were not impostors; they were all genuine...
Some were even recognized by his parents, and for those who were not known to Gu Jianguo and Xu Hong, they could still produce evidence like family trees...
Initially, Gu Heng was very disinterested in these relatives who had come out of nowhere and had intended to simply have his bodyguards turn them away, but his parents' countryside clan mindset kicked in...
They lectured Gu Heng in a series of lessons...
They said that even if relations among relatives weren't good, there was no need to offend them...
If they had come to visit, they should be treated properly...
And it was precisely because of Gu Jianguo and Xu Hong's approach led to a flood of inexplicable relatives, aside from a few with genuine business who wanted a piece of the investment action, the vast majority were just freeloading, looking to get familiar...
Gu Heng had originally wanted to spend a few more days at home with his aging parents, but given the situation, he couldn't stay any longer...
After leaving some bodyguards behind, he left his hometown with Lin Jiayun and He Jing...
However, Gu Heng didn't stay long in Hang City either, just dropped Lin Jiayun and He Jing off before he headed to Shanghai.
...
At the main entrance of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.
A silver Lamborghini Aventador, like a gleaming blade, came to a steady stop at the school's gate.
In addition, a large truck followed.
But compared to the eye-catching Lamborghini, the truck was entirely too ordinary; had it not been following the Lamborghini, probably no one would even bother to look twice...
As the cool scissor doors of the Lamborghini rose, Gu Heng, wearing sunglasses, smoothly stepped out onto the ground.
For some time now, Gu Heng hadn't driven himself, mostly enjoying rides in the backseat with a chauffeur driving.
It was quite tiring, suddenly wanting to get a taste of driving again after indulging so much...
But no matter what, as a young man, it's not like he was advanced in age, with over a dozen supercars in his garage; they weren't bought just to be looked at. He needed to take them out for a spin occasionally...
Especially to a place like a university...
Arriving in a Rolls-Royce was nothing compared to the cool factor of his Big Bull.
Waiting at the gate for a few minutes, Gu Heng became the focus of passing students' gazes...
Because his sunglasses covered half of his face, even those who knew Gu Heng might not be able to recognize him at a glance, let alone strangers who had only seen videos or photos of him online.
But even so...
There were quite a few who approached to strike up a conversation...
After all, with this multi-million-dollar luxury car sitting there, how could any girl with a slight ulterior motive resist?

And it's 2024 now, not like ten years ago.
Back then, even if girls were materialistic, they didn't dare to be open about it, preferring to hide and keep quiet.
But now, it didn't matter; women had awakened. Everyone had their own mate-selection standards, and choosing a wealthy man as a boyfriend was normal, not something to keep hidden, but something to bravely charge forward in the name of love!
And because of this...
In the span of a few minutes...
Several brave female warriors had come up, hoping to exchange contact information with Gu Heng...
Although Gu Heng didn't have what you'd call a "pure spirit," he wasn't indiscriminate in his tastes either...
If he were to rate the girls who had approached him, they'd barely score 70 points, and that was after makeup...
Girls of this caliber, he only needed to hit the nightclub, ask the promoters to arrange it, and probably instantly attract a hundred and eighty of them. They weren't worth paying much attention to, so he politely stated his WeChat friends list was full and tactfully rejected them...
But just as Gu Heng was feeling fed up with these distractions...
An excited voice called out, followed by a whiff of fragrant breeze...
"Brother!"
Looking at Gu Xinran, who was clutching him like an octopus, Gu Heng rubbed her head somewhat helplessly, making her sleek long hair frizz up like a startled kitten, and said with a laugh, "You're in your twenties, with no regard for image. Do you still want to find a boyfriend in the future?"
