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

Chapter 70: Chapter 68 The privilege is too good... (Please follow)

Half an hour later.

Zhu Shuting returned to the VIP reception room, this time holding a delicate and small bank card in her hand.

"Congratulations to Mr. Gu for becoming the distinguished Black Diamond VIP customer of Hua Country Construction Bank. Your satisfaction is our lifelong pursuit!"

The same spiel again, Gu Heng had heard it just an hour before from the sales staff at Tianyanga Mansion, and hearing it once more didn't excite him much either; after all, one does develop a resistance to flattery and compliments after a while...

He took the bank card from Zhu Shuting's hand and casually fiddled with it.

The card looked considerably different from his previous ones, obviously much more exquisite by dozens, if not hundreds, of times...

The all-black card, decorated with the ink dragon design on the edges, made its specialness apparent at a glance, and even the six big characters of [Hua Country Construction Bank]reflected a colorful laser glow.

The words [Private Bank Card] were simply and unostentatiously printed in the center, but anyone who had seen the card would know that all the fancy stuff put together couldn't compare to the weight these five words carried...

Looking at the modest card, Gu Heng burst out laughing...

Seeing Gu Heng's inexplicable smile, Zhu Shuting was curious but tactfully refrained from asking; during work hours, her status was completely unequal to Gu Heng's, in other words, she wasn't entitled to inquire about personal matters.

But Lin Jiayun was not so reserved and directly asked, "What are you laughing about?"

"A reflective laugh," Gu Heng glanced at her, and then casually stuffed the card into his pocket.

"What are you reflecting on?"

With her intent-to-know-it-all demeanor, Gu Heng had no choice but to share his thoughts, "I'm reflecting on how unfair this world really is. This simple card, had it been earlier, would have been worth more than my life."

It was true.

What's valuable is not the card, but what the card represents.

Inside Gu Heng's card were 70 million in deposits, to put it harshly, it was worth more than a hundred of his past lives; after all, a poor man's life is cheap.

Hearing Gu Heng's remark, Zhu Shuting could only offer a compliant smile, "Mr. Gu jests. Where is there absolute fairness in this world? Your money was hard-earned, it's your capability, and you deserve to enjoy all this."

Although she said this, Zhu Shuting didn't think so in her heart...

If the world were absolutely fair, would she still need to be here, offering forced smiles?

Gu Heng was unaware of Zhu Shuting's thoughts but hearing her praise, he couldn't help but smile again...

Gu Heng didn't have such cunning thoughts; his offer to pay was just a polite gesture and he was completely unaware of Zhu Shuting's considerations...

You could say that once people acquire a certain social status, every little action they take is subject to overinterpretation...

This time, Gu Heng simply made a straightforward move, but Zhu Shuting treated it as a major strategy...

After finishing the last sip of tea, Gu Heng smacked his lips.

Experience tales at M V L

At first, he felt the Shifeng Longjing tasted no different from the tea fragments that cost a few dozen yuan per half-kilogram, but after a few more sips, the difference became clear: you get what you pay for, and the lingering aroma of tea between his lips and teeth couldn't lie...

Thinking of Old Gu at home, who liked to wander around with a thermos cup of tea when he had nothing to do, he couldn't help but ask Zhu Shuting, "Manager Zhu, could you provide me with the purchasing channel for this tea?"

Tobacco, alcohol, and tea: these three were almost indispensable when visiting relatives and friends in Hua Country.

However, while ordinary gifts were easy to come by, higher quality items were often counterfeit, with more fakes on the market than the real thing.

Gu Heng didn't want to bring fake tea home to his dad; he hoped the bank's procurement channel wouldn't supply counterfeit products.

"Does Mr. Gu like this tea?"

Zhu Shuting first asked, then continued, "Shifeng Longjing is a seasonal famous tea with very limited production; it hits the market in March, and most of it is quickly snatched up by the government departments in Hang City.

After this period, most of the tea still being sold is fake, so even if I gave you the procurement channel, it would be very difficult to get any at this time."

Gu Heng could only nod his head at this.

He couldn't blame himself; he tried, and it was just Old Gu's misfortune to miss out.

But after Zhu Shuting added a "please wait" and hurried out of the VIP reception room, returning a few minutes later with two elegant gift boxes in hand...

"Mr. Gu, I just remembered we still had two boxes over at the president's office. After I spoke to the president, he insisted that I personally hand these two boxes of Shifeng Longjing over to you."

Observing Zhu Shuting's breathless appearance, Gu Heng was stunned...

Was this one of the privileges a private banking client could enjoy?

Things ordinary people couldn't buy even with money, he didn't need to spend a penny; just a mention would have someone delivering it to him straight away?

All he could say was... delicious.

Too damn delicious...
