How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself? Chapter 442 - 203: A Matter of a Few Hundred Million

Several minutes later.

Lei Yibin, having adjusted his expression at the office door, walked in with a fresh-aired smile and apologized while he walked, "I’m really sorry, Mr. Gu, to have kept your guest waiting for so long."

At this mont, Gu Heng was seated on the sofa in the office with his legs crossed, fiddling with a small decorative item on the table. Hearing this, he didn’t bother to get up; he didn’t even stop the motion in his hands. His lips slightly curled as he said, "It’s fine. Business is the priority. Besides, I’m quite free, just changing my location to play with my phone."

Gu Heng’s actions were quite disrespectful, but Lei Yibin didn’t have the slightest objection.

In his eyes, this was exactly the attitude a big shot like Gu Heng should have. If Gu Heng had been imdiately cordial with him, Lei Yibin would have found it strange. He gave a subtle glance towards Cheng Yuxin, then seated himself across from Gu Heng.

Cheng Yuxin hesitated for a few seconds, then also chose to submit. A touch of helplessness appeared on her delicate face as she smoothed out her skirt and took a seat on the sa sofa as Gu Heng, albeit at so distance.

She had no choice…

Although she didn’t want to get involved in the controversies surrounding Gu Heng, now that Lei Yibin had made it an obligation, she had to relent, willing or not…

If it had been in the past, she would definitely not have acted high and mighty at the chance to interact with a young and wealthy tycoon like Gu Heng. Even without Lei Yibin’s request, she would have found a way to get closer. If successful, the benefits could be trendous...

But now, because of Gu Heng’s situation, she wasn’t keen anymore.

She was an influencer with millions of followers, but under such public scrutiny, it seed difficult to protect her own image. If she could beco Gu Heng’s girlfriend, who cares about public opinion? Even if she quit being an influencer, being a wealthy socialite is far better than being a public figure, right?

But she was no fool...

She was acutely aware of the status of influencers like her in the eyes of the wealthy.

Forget about becoming the official girlfriend, sotis it was impossible even to be a golden canary; being played with once or twice and then discarded was the norm.

The more she thought about it, the more bitter Cheng Yuxin felt about the disparities between people. After all, she was an internet-famous woman who could probably make her followers’ day just by letting them sniff her underwear. Yet in front of Gu Heng, she could only be arbitrarily chosen, without even the right to refuse...

The more she thought, the sadder Cheng Yuxin felt, and she could hardly manage a smile...

But at that mont, Lei Yibin spoke again.

"Mr. Gu, this is our employee, Cheng Yuxin. She has always wanted to et you. There were too many people before, and I was afraid of disturbing you, so I couldn’t introduce her one by one."

He then turned his gaze to Cheng Yuxin, "Yuxin, haven’t you always wanted to et Mr. Gu? Now that Mr. Gu is right beside you, won’t you say hello?"

Cheng Yuxin, upon hearing this, did her best to conjure up a smile and softly said to Gu Heng, "Hello, Mr. Gu..."

But that smile contained not a trace of coquetry...

Gu Heng turned his head to look at her, furrowing his eyebrows slightly, almost laughing out loud, then turned his head back to Lei Yibin with a jesting tone, "Mr. Lei, are you sure Ms. Cheng wants to et and isn’t just forced here by you?"

Even an idiot could tell there was sothing off about Cheng Yuxin’s expression, let alone Gu Heng and Lei Yibin.

Lei Yibin wanted to explain but couldn’t, only managing a sheepish smile as his patience with Cheng Yuxin reached its limit...

Watching the atmosphere grow heavy, Gu Heng shook his head with a laugh, then pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, flipped one to Lei Yibin, and after lighting it, softly said, "Mr. Lei, you don’t have to co up with all these pointless gestures.

Let’s just get straight to the point if there’s business to discuss. If not, I’m planning on taking my leave."

Dealing with soone as cunning as Lei Yibin was exhausting, and Gu Heng’s patience was almost worn thin. He was no longer interested in continuing the niceties.

Was Lei Yibin annoyed?

Of course, he was…

He was the one in need of sothing from Gu Heng, but barely had any relationship with him.

Thus, he had to establish so connection with Gu Heng on the spot, but he also knew, considering his own status, it would be difficult to forge a relationship quickly, so he didn’t get his hopes up.

But even if a close connection wasn’t feasible, surely brushing up a bit of goodwill in front of Gu Heng would do, right?

Owning an MCN agency, aren’t beautiful won the best asset he had?

And yet, what’s the result? These influencers were more disobedient than the next, leading things to this state...

Forget about gaining favor; it was already good enough that Gu Heng wasn’t annoyed...

But with Gu Heng having made his stance clear, Lei Yibin knew if he didn’t speak his intentions plainly now, Gu Heng would indeed walk out, and Lei would miss his chance to even speak.

With that thought, Lei Yibin no longer hesitated and began to speak.

"Mr. Gu, it’s like this. I know you have previous experience working in MCN agencies. What do you think of this industry?"

"What do I think?"

Gu Heng first glanced at Lei Yibin indifferently, then chuckled lightly.

If it had been his forr self, faced with such a question, he wouldn’t have been able to answer.

Because of his narrow perspective.

He was previously just a junior scriptwriter, so how much could he really understand about the industry?

But now, it was different. With the skill of "Junior Business Leader," Gu Heng’s business acun had significantly improved. Although he still couldn’t compare to the executives of large companies, he had his own insights to so extent.
