Chapter 71: Chapter 69: How Much I Can Give You Depends on Your Value to Me

A meal took over an hour to eat...

Gu Heng had no idea how much Zhu Shuting had spent on this meal, but it definitely wasn't cheap...

After all, the table just now had more dishes piled up than even those at weddings and funerals back in his hometown.

Moreover, they were all expensive delicacies like swallow's nest and abalone; casually bringing out a single dish could probably match the cost of an entire country banquet...

After finishing, he called Chen Hao; Chen Hao was already waiting at the hotel entrance. Zhu Shuting accompanied Gu Heng as he walked out of the hotel. Seeing Chen Hao open the car door and stand by, waiting quietly, she respectfully smiled at Gu Heng and said, "Since Mr. Gu's driver has already come to pick you up, I won't impose any further.

If you need anything in the future, just contact me directly."

Zhu Shuting wasn't the least bit surprised about Gu Heng having a private driver.

For a tycoon with 70 million in liquid cash, having a private driver was nothing. It wouldn't be surprising even if he had a private jet.

When Chen Hao heard Zhu Shuting mistook him for Gu Heng's driver, he didn't feel slighted nor did he intend to correct her; he just stood by the car door with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Gu Heng didn't bother to explain either; he exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhu Shuting and then he, along with Lin Jiayun, got into the back seat of the Audi A8L.

As the car started moving slowly, Zhu Shuting still stood there, smiling and waving at Gu Heng until the black A8L merged into the traffic. Only then did she return to the hotel to get the receipt...

A meal that cost more than ten thousand, if she didn't claim it on expenses, she would be so distressed she might lose sleep for several nights.

.....

Now seated comfortably in the back seat, Gu Heng looked through the car window at Zhu Shuting, who still maintained her respectful demeanor even after he left, and he let out a breath slowly...

He finally understood why people, after getting rich, inexplicably develop a certain demeanor that allows others to distinguish them from ordinary people at a glance.

Surrounded by a group of people who are so respectful all the time – even a pig might develop some demeanor, right?

While Gu Heng was reflecting as usual, an arm slid under his and was then clamped tightly between something soft...

The sudden sensation made Gu Heng involuntarily turn his gaze toward Lin Jiayun, who looked up at him with eyes brimming with tenderness...

Seeing her look, Gu Heng couldn't help but frown and after giving her a once-over, he asked, "Did you eat something strange? Why are you eying me so seductively all of a sudden?"

Lin Jiayun fell silent upon hearing Gu Heng's words...

Smart as she was, she actually understood what Gu Heng meant, but it was a bit hard for her to accept at first, and then she asked a bit pitifully, "Then, can I publicly announce that you're my boyfriend?"

After all, she was still a young person in her early twenties. The idea of being purely a caged canary, never able to see the light, was somewhat intolerable to her...

"Of course, why not?"

At this response, a glint of hope reappeared in Lin Jiayun's eyes.

But the next thing Gu Heng said made her lips pucker in disappointment...

"However, your making it public is your affair, I definitely won't acknowledge it."

As an obscure ordinary person who neither wished to be a star nor an influencer, it didn't really matter to him if Lin Jiayun made their relationship public. Even if some Sherlock Holmes-like netizens managed to dig up dirt on him, all he needed to do was deny it.

Such a small concession, Gu Heng felt he could satisfy her.

Although Lin Jiayun was not entirely satisfied with Gu Heng's answer, she understood it was the most he was willing to concede and promptly offered her red lips...

Chen Hao, sitting in the front seat, appeared to be focused on driving; in reality, he absorbed every single word of their conversation without missing a beat.

If he wasn't driving, he might have even wanted to take out pen and paper to jot it all down...

Was this the way rich people picked up girls?

It seemed a little too fantastical...

Especially Gu Heng's remark, "How much I can give depends on your value to me," practically picked up all the dignity that loser guys and simps had thrown away on behalf of men...

As for Gu Heng, well, he was lost in the game.

The person he used to be could never have said something so impressive.

But the experiences of the past few days seemed to have opened his Ren and Du meridians...

Indeed, money is the most potent Viagra for men! With it, they can stand strong and hard!
