How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Chapter 436 - 200 Wuyou Media

After a moment of stunned silence, He Jing and Lin Jiayun couldn’t help but speak up.

It was He Jing who spoke first with an added urgency on her face, "Why are you giving it to me? I don’t want it."

Although Gu Heng only needed 3 million to acquire Galaxy Media, its actual value was 7 million, and fifty percent of the shares were worth 3.5 million. As Gu Heng’s woman, it was not unreasonable for Lin Jiayun to accept such money.

But what about herself?

Why should she accept such a generous gift?

She was a smart woman and perfectly clear about Gu Heng’s intentions, which were nothing more than an attempt to sway her heart by spending money in advance...

However, clear as she was, not everything in the world was within her control. There was a saying, "Wealth sways the heart," and He Jing admitted that she was indeed tempted...

She was still in a state of inner turmoil, with a blurred bottom line...

If she really accepted Gu Heng’s gift, it would mean she had completely succumbed to his wealth...

That He Jing could still refuse now meant that her bottom line was still in place...

As for Lin Jiayun, her thoughts were quite simple...

As long as she served Gu Heng well, whether or not she received the company’s shares didn’t really make a difference in reality. 3.5 million seemed like a lot, but Gu Heng had spent one or two million in cash on her in just the past few months. Compared to the money Gu Heng gave her, she didn’t really care about the company’s earnings...

She also declined, saying, "I don’t want it either. I don’t know anything about managing a company. Just making short videos and live-streaming is already my limit. If I had to manage a company, I would definitely go crazy."

Gu Heng, hearing both of their replies, couldn’t help but chuckle, "Are you sure you don’t want it?"

"No."

This attitude was quite disrespectful, but some people are indeed masochistic. When slighted by their peers, dignity becomes immensely important to them, and they’d go to great lengths to prove themselves, even if it means causing an uproar... Read new chapters at novelhall.Côm

But when they are looked down upon by someone from a higher tier, not only do they not get angry, they actually take it as a slap to the face, even smiling and offering their cheek for another hit, followed by an affectionate question, "Did that hurt your hand?"

The representatives from Wuyou Media were obviously such people.

Since Gu Heng had entered the office, he hadn’t shown them any respect, but they didn’t get angry. Instead, as time went on and Gu Heng’s attitude became increasingly apparent, they grew more and more respectful...

Hearing Gu Heng’s question, the representative from Wuyou Media hurriedly responded, "Mr. Lei said we’re giving up on this acquisition.

But..."

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow at the mention of a ’but’ and interrupted, "But what? Are you planning to ask for compensation for your losses?"

"No, no, Mr. Gu, you misunderstood.

It’s just that Mr. Lei said he’d like to invite you to Wuyou Media as a guest. He is not quite clear about your issues with Galaxy Media and is afraid of any misunderstandings, so he would like to invite you for a meal and also to apologize to you."

Hmm?

Gu Heng looked at him skeptically, trying to discern something from his face...

But aside from respect, the representative’s face revealed nothing...

Something felt off...

Very off...

Although most of Gu Heng’s target was Zhang Yang this time, Wuyou Media must have suffered losses too.

Not to mention a purchase deal worth several million required planning, market research, and such, right? The financial loss might not be big, but the loss of time was inevitable...
