How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself? Chapter 578 - 265 [First Meeting] Bar

After arriving in the lounge, Gu Heng didn't act like an outsider at all, and directly flopped down on the sofa with a dominant posture. Fang Xun, on the other hand, stood sowhat stiffly beside Gu Heng...

Gu Heng looked at her and couldn't help but laugh, "What's the matter? I rember when I left Wuzhen you were quite open-minded. How co upon eting again you're acting like this?

Loosen up; I still prefer the untad look you had at first."

Fang Xun, dressed in a little suit and resembling a powerful businesswoman, couldn't help but roll her eyes internally upon hearing Gu Heng's words...

In her heart, her relationship with Gu Heng wasn't particularly close. To put it plainly, it was nothing more than the relationship of f**k buddies,

and that kind of one-night stand where she took Gu Heng's money, had zero-distance contact with him once, and then both got what they needed and called it even.

Furthermore, at that ti, Fang Xun just thought Gu Heng at most was a rich second-generation with a bit of assets, who would have thought he would turn out to be the wealthiest man in Hua Country?

She was very clear about her own position, and as part of the managent of Alila, she also clearly knew that the hotel was changing owners. The new boss was the very Gu Heng in front of her. If she tried to cozy up to Gu Heng, relying on their one-night stand, it'd be fine if Gu Heng wasn't disgusted. But once he took offense, her managerial position, which she had worked so hard for many years to climb up to, could very likely be wiped out with just a word from Gu Heng...

Seeing Fang Xun not speaking, Gu Heng could roughly guess her thoughts.

Truth be told...

Although his relationship with Fang Xun was of that nature...

In Gu Heng's heart, Fang Xun still held so status...

It's undeniable that his change in mindset started from Fang Xun...

Plus, she was the first woman he obtained after getting the system, using "money" and "power". It wasn't too much to say that Fang Xun was a teacher on his path of growth...

Thinking of this, Gu Heng didn't say more, but turned his gaze to Zhu Kai, who had followed him in, and spoke, "Mr. Zhu, I presu your group has already received the notification of the handover, right?"

Zhu Kai stepped forward at the question, nodding repeatedly, "We've received it; right now the entire managent team is preparing for the handover.

Is Mr. Gu here today to inspect in advance?"

Gu Heng shook his head slightly, "The people for the handover inspection will probably co over in a couple of days. I'm not interested in traveling a long distance to check on a minor project. I ca to Wuzhen today for so personal matters."

Gu Heng spoke arrogantly, but everyone thought it was only natural.

As a super magnate with assets nearing 400 billion, the acquisition of one hotel is indeed a minor project, even if that hotel is a five-star worth several billion...

Since he wasn't here for inspection, Zhu Kai also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the hotel had been open for so many years and there were more or less so gaps to fill. If Gu Heng requested to see the financial reports or sothing like that today, these unfilled gaps would be like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head. Not only would his position be at risk, but he might even be sent to jail by the company's people...

With this in mind, Zhu Kai quickly changed the subject, "Then, Mr. Gu, do you need any help with this personal matter? Our hotel has a bit of clout in Wuzhen, we could perhaps assist you with so minor issues."

Gu Heng was waiting for just that offer.

After all, Zhu Kai wasn't his employee yet and couldn't be directly ordered to do work. But now that he had volunteered, Gu Heng wasn't going to be polite.

"That's right, isn't the National Day holiday just a few days away? I plan to finance a fireworks festival and a large drone performance. I wonder if Mr. Zhu could help apply to the local town governnt?"

Actually, for soone with Gu Heng's resources, such matters were quite simple.

But Gu Heng's connections were on a much higher level. If there was a bit more ti, just a word from Mr. Chu to the authorities, and even though Wuzhen wasn't under Shanghai's jurisdiction, with Mr. Chu's clout, for such a small matter, not just Wuzhen's local governnt, but governnts across six provinces and one city in East China or anywhere in the country would not refuse to give Mr. Chu this respect.

It wouldn't even require Mr. Chu personally to greet soone – his secretary could handle it with ease.

The main issue, however, was the urgency of ti. Even if Mr. Chu was willing to help Gu Heng, going through all the procedures would take at least a month, if not ten to fifteen days. By that ti, it would be too late.

Sotis, it's true that local officials can be more effective. This kind of trivial matter indeed required soone like Zhu Kai who had been operating in Wuzhen for many years.

And the local leaders wouldn't refuse to give Zhu Kai face.

Not to ntion that the fireworks festival and the large drone performance would positively promote a tourist destination like Wuzhen, just considering Zhu Kai's status alone, local leaders wouldn't fail to give him that respect.

In Gu Heng's eyes, Zhu Kai might be a minor figure.

But in the eyes of local leaders, the general manager of a five-star hotel isn't a minor character; he's a significant taxpayer...

Hearing Gu Heng's words, Zhu Kai quickly thumped his chest and promised, "Rest assured, Mr. Gu, whether it's the fireworks festival or the drone performance, they're great events for attracting tourists to Wuzhen. The relevant departnts will definitely not block it. I will go apply for you right away and ensure it gets approved today!"

Such an opportunity to deliver performance credits to the local leaders would be refused by no one.
