How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself? Chapter 534 - 245: Dispelling Rumors, Gu Heng and Ouyang Nan

The entertainnt industry is well-inford.

IDE Capital's involvent in the entertainnt and film industry was not a well-guarded secret, so not only did big capitals like Wanda Film and Tencent Film know about it, but also so celebrities who often had good relationships with investors were aware of the news.

As the party progressed, more and more people ca up to Gu Heng to offer a toast.

Most of them Gu Heng couldn't na, but they all looked very familiar...

Watching this group of stars, who once seed so superior, now desperately trying to display their humility before him, Gu Heng felt nothing. These so-called stars were no different to him now than the internet celebrities who, just a while ago, were vying for his favor for a million on the bar stage with their seductive gestures.

If there really was a difference, it might be that the stars had a slightly higher 'force', requiring more money to kneel before him. Having figured this out, Gu Heng just shook his head internally, maintaining a neutral expression as he politely clinked glasses with the crowd, barely sipping the champagne. After receiving toasts from more than a dozen people, he hadn't even drunk a third of a glass...

A single glass shared with over a dozen people was quite dismissive.

But this was the social circle of the entertainnt industry, with a strict hierarchical system.

Capital is capital, and it always stands at the very top of the food chain in the circle.

For them, the fact that Gu Heng would stoop to clink glasses with them was already an honor, how could they dare ask for more?

...

Those who mixed in the entertainnt industry, whether big stars or lesser-known ones, had mastered the art of observing words and colors and gauging situations. As ti slowly passed, another group of stars, who hadn't dared to step forward earlier due to their lower status, also began to feel tempted...

Everyone knew how beneficial it would be to win the favor of capital investors in the future...

Even if they couldn't make Gu Heng rember them, just being vaguely recognized by him at this cocktail party was a huge win. Who knows, maybe Gu Heng would spontaneously rember them when deciding on a cast for a movie, and wouldn't that bring imnse fortune?

Gu Heng appeared so approachable, clearly not refusing any cors...

The more they thought about it, the more they couldn't contain their thoughts...

Soon, so more daring stars, holding their wine glasses, hurried over to Gu Heng...

With the first one approaching, there ca another...

In just a few minutes, Gu Heng's side had beco the center of the entire cocktail party...

Gu Heng looked at the scene in front of him, a trace of impatience subtly flashing across his face...

The reason he interacted with those top-tier, frontline stars was mainly for the newly established IDE Film, considering these people were all money pots, potentially useful in the future. It wasn't too much of a loss to spend so ti appeasing them...

But what about this later group?

He didn't recognize a large part of them.

He wasn't there to be a social butterfly; dealing with these people was just a waste of ti.

Luckily, Jiang Ruxue, who had been observing Gu Heng, noticed his impatience and imdiately stepped in front of him, politely saying, "Ladies and gentlen, I'm sorry.

Mr. Gu has already had enough today, and he has two important etings tomorrow. I hope you can understand."

Hearing Jiang Ruxue's words, people couldn't help but glance at the champagne glass Gu Heng had been holding from the start, then at the champagne that was still mostly left in the glass, feeling sowhat speechless...

This excuse was really far-fetched...

But they had no choice, as his secretary had already started blocking people. If they continued to rush forward rudely, it would no longer be flattering but offensive...

Those who ca late and were still lining up also couldn't help feeling frustrated...

If only they hadn't held back and had co forward earlier to make themselves known...

They had just missed an incredible opportunity...

Despite their frustration, the crowd behaved quite well. After Jiang Ruxue finished speaking, one young male actor in his thirties said, "It was presumptuous of us, mainly because eting a major figure like Mr. Gu, it would have been too regrettable not to know him.

Although Mr. Gu can't drink anymore, I still have to give my toast."

After saying this, he downed the drink in his glass...

And Gu Heng did not skimp on his appreciative glance at the actor.

He liked such sensible people who both flattered him and saved his face. Imdiately, smiling, he said, "I rember you, Zhu Yilong, right? I've seen the movies you've acted in, your acting is very good, we might have opportunities to collaborate in the future."

Zhu Yilong was montarily startled upon hearing this, then quickly masked the joy on his face, maintaining a neither servile nor overbearing attitude as he thanked Gu Heng.

As for others who heard Gu Heng's words, they also began to follow suit, with one flattering remark after another...

But clearly,

Gu Heng was not buying it.

He simply nodded in acknowledgnt, not saying another word.

The host, Sun Zhonghuai, also tily said to Gu Heng, "Mr. Gu, it's about ti. The charity auction will begin in less than half an hour. Shall we go to the banquet hall and talk slowly?"

Gu Heng had had enough of this atmosphere and quickly nodded, "Let's go."

Saying this, Sun Zhonghuai, Zhang Genming, Gu Heng, and a few other capital magnates left the executive lounge amidst a crowd...
