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

Chapter 205 - 118: Departure, Destination Hong Kong Island!_2

the occupation of a personal secretary may sound prestigious, but if it were in ancient times, it would be the equivalent of a personal maid or a personal slave...

from the moment xu ying agreed to become gu heng’s personal secretary, she had already cast aside what was so-called dignity; with an annual salary of 600,000, what more did she need dignity for? if she didn’t do it, there were plenty of people clamoring for the job.

if you want to make money, don’t expect to do it standing; if you want to stand, don’t expect to make money.

in hua country with its billions of people, how many could make money while standing?

at least xu ying was very clear about her own abilities; she did not have the skill to make money while standing.

xu ying knew gu heng’s net worth; a person who could easily buy supercars worth tens of millions definitely wouldn’t care about the difference in cost to upgrade a flight, but this respect was enough to touch her...

for a moment, xu ying even felt a surge of "if you treat me with the respect of a national scholar, i shall repay you as one."

how many bosses out there are generous and treat you as a person?

as xu ying pondered wildly, the pleasant voice of the ground staff sister rang out again, "there are two seats left in business class, would the two of you like to upgrade?"

"do it!"

gu heng glanced at xu ying.

xu ying quickly handed over her documentation.

"based on the current fare, upgrading from economy to business class will require an additional fee of 2,725 yuan. how would you like to pay?"

gu heng pulled out his phone, "wechat pay is fine, right?"

"of course it is."

after paying, the ground staff sister quickly came back with tickets and identification documents, respectfully saying, "i wish you both a pleasant journey. if you are not sure where the vip lounge is, i can arrange for vip lounge staff to come to meet you."

"good."

gu heng was direct and concise.

but now it seemed, gu heng was telling the truth...

although she didn’t know why this was the case, xu ying was very clear about what she should and shouldn’t ask. she also explained in a low voice, "it’s not that i didn’t buy a first-class ticket, it’s that there weren’t any first-class tickets for sale."

gu heng: "sold out?"

"not exactly sold out, there were just no first-class seats available."

gu heng: "???"

the more gu heng listened, the more confused he became...

"most domestic flights are short haul, so generally, there is rarely a first-class cabin. in domestic flights... except for a few fixed routes with air china, most flights actually do not have first class. business class is already the top tier."

as he listened to xu ying’s explanation, gu heng felt as if his understanding was being overturned...

when he read about tycoons in novels, they always flew first class. how come when he became a tycoon, first class was no longer an option?

indeed...

most of the knowledge one gets from reading novels is unreliable...

at that moment, another pleasant voice reached gu heng’s ears.

"good afternoon, i am the ground attendant for the vip lounge. the vip lounge is this way. please follow me."

after saying that, she gestured with an open hand, signaling for gu heng to go first.

as gu heng followed the direction indicated by the ground staff sister, xu ying whispered to him, "boss, are you hungry? would you like me to order a meal for you at the airport to take to the lounge?"

gu heng hadn’t felt hungry originally...

after xu ying mentioned it, he did start to feel a bit hungry...

but gu heng did not respond to her; instead, he turned and asked the ground staff sister, "is lunch provided on the plane?"

the ground staff sister clearly didn’t expect a passenger of a few thousand yuan business class ticket to ask whether lunch would be provided on the plane...
