How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself? Chapter 540 - 248: Age Brings Pains

```

Once inside...

Gu Heng paid no mind to Yang Hanshu's peculiar gaze, still standing in front of the floor-length mirror, adjusting his dragon robe...

While tidying up, he called out, "Mr. Yang, there are no outsiders in the room now. Can you speak about the purpose of your visit?"

Yang Hanshu, still dressed in her attire with a touch of ancient style, didn't feel embarrassed by Gu Heng's straightforward question. Her bright eyes twinkled with a clever smile, not at all resembling a woman in her 40s, as if ti hadn't left many marks on her. She seed more like a woman in her 30s, at the pri of her charm...

"Didn't I say before coming in, I'd like to talk to you about the screenplay~"

If it were any ordinary woman, especially one approaching 40, posing like a young girl in front of him, Gu Heng might have already called security to escort her out...

But this was Mi...

Like Liu Yifei, the two evergreen trees in Hua Entertainnt's novel world that wouldn't topple...

Although she was older now, perhaps due to the celebrity halo effect, Gu Heng didn't find her repulsive. On the contrary, he felt a certain inexplicable aning rising from within, subsequently turning to look at her with a teasing gaze...

After staring for a full thirty seconds, it was Yang Hanshu who ultimately looked away, defeated.

Gu Heng didn't intend to continue the invasive eye contact, returning to his normal deanor, and said slowly, "If you have sothing to talk about, you can say it directly. I am not very formal, there's no need to beat around the bush around .

But if you really plan to chat about the screenplay, then I suggest you can turn right as you leave. I have zero interest in the screenplay you're holding."

Listening to Gu Heng's blunt words, Yang Hanshu also put away her pretentious expression, and sat up straight.

"Since Mr. Gu is so straightforward, I shall not beat around the bush either. I would like to propose a cooperation."

"Cooperation?"

Gu Heng was curious.

"Yes, cooperation."

Seeing Yang Hanshu's serious deanor, Gu Heng was convinced she wasn't here in the middle of the night to get paparazzi photos in his room to leverage the current online craze about him. He then took out two wine glasses, poured the already decanted red wine into them, handed one to Yang Hanshu, and sat in front of her, wearing his golden yellow dragon robe, with a leisurely posture.

"How do you propose we cooperate?"

Upon hearing Gu Heng's response, Yang Hanshu eagerly said, "Before we talk about cooperation, I would like to ask if Mr. Gu has any plans to enter the entertainnt industry? Although this question is a bit abrupt, it is fundantal to our cooperation.

Of course, if it involves business secrets, you don't have to answer ."

Gu Heng swirled the red wine in his hand, and from his expression alone, Yang Hanshu couldn't tell anything.

Had Gu Heng planned on investing in the entertainnt industry?

He had.

This was a new business direction chosen by the company's senior managent recently.

In the entertainnt industry, capital is king.

With IDE Capital and Gu Heng, a major financier controlling such a large cash flow, it would indeed be hard to justify not getting involved.

Moreover, as the company's group strategy deepened, they had begun to lay out various industries. Entering the entertainnt industry couldn't be kept secret for long. It would beco public knowledge sooner or later. Even the industry veterans had already deduced this based on IDE Capital's actions, so it certainly didn't qualify as a trade secret.

With this in mind, Gu Heng didn't play coy, took a sip of red wine, nodded slightly, and said, "Tonight at the wine reception, Director Zhang from Wanda was correct, I have indeed established a subsidiary called IDE Film and Television, and the company's registered capital is indeed 2 billion yuan."

Seeing Gu Heng's acknowledgnt, joy flashed across Yang Hanshu's face.

Seeing the barely concealed happiness on Yang Hanshu's face, Gu Heng was sowhat puzzled and continued, "However, what does this have to do with our cooperation?"

Yang Hanshu's smile persisted, "I am happy to have a strong partner for cooperation."

Gu Heng gave a noncommittal shrug, "It seems that Mr. Yang is quite confident about this cooperation? Let's skip the small talk then, and discuss the content of the cooperation."

Taking a deep breath, Yang Hanshu went straight to her well-prepared plan, "I plan to incorporate my studio into a company, and I'm sincerely inviting Mr. Gu to invest in my soon-to-be-established company."

Gu Heng's expression: "???"

Had this woman lost her mind?

Running to his room in the middle of the night, brazenly asking to talk about cooperation, and after all this ti, she wants him to invest in her company?

If he rembered correctly, hadn't this lady been taken advantage of by capitalists just a while ago? Her company, which she'd worked to death to take public, had kicked her right out after the IPO. And that kick hadn't even left her limping? Was she still dreaming of becoming a big capital in the entertainnt industry?

Did she take him for a fool?

Imdiately, the interested expression on Gu Heng's face vanished, and he said in a flat tone, "If it's about investnt, you actually didn't need to find . IDE Capital is a formal investnt company, with professional investnt departnts inside. Mr. Yang, you can visit our investnt departnt if you have ti. Regarding investnt, I've delegated all authority and do not participate in any decision-making."

The rejection was simple and clear.

Yang Hanshu, as shrewd as they co, had been through the ups and downs of the entertainnt industry for decades, so how could she not understand Gu Heng's implication? Yet, she didn't give up and spoke again, "Mr. Gu, I don't know if you've heard about my achievents..."
