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

Chapter 10 - 10 What do you do for work?

He Jing listened to Lin Jiayun’s question and felt a bit aggrieved...

How was she supposed to know that in just a few hours of not seeing him, Gu Heng had transformed like a Bala Little Fairy?

Before she could explain to Lin Jiayun, Gu Heng had already stood up.

"What are you staring at, sit down."

The tone was still as casual as ever...

Hearing Gu Heng’s casual tone, He Jing also brushed off the slight feeling of strangeness that had cropped up because of Gu Heng’s transformation and walked straight up to him, pointing at his nose and saying fiercely, "How dare you ask us?

Tell me, why didn’t you answer the phone?

It made us three feel so awkward downstairs. I thought I had offended you somehow, that you lured me here to make a fool of me, and I almost paid for a table downstairs myself!"

Gu Heng: "???"

"My phone was almost dead, and their restaurant didn’t have any shared power banks, so I had Manager Lu charge my phone for me...

Moreover, I had instructed Manager Lu to have someone wait for you at the entrance."

After saying that, he turned his gaze toward Manager Lu, who hadn’t left yet.

After hearing Gu Heng’s words, Manager Lu hurriedly asked the three women, "Didn’t a designated person bring you in?"

Upon hearing this, He Jing shook her head with a puzzled look on her chubby face: "We came in on our own. If it weren’t for the waiter on the first floor who specifically asked if I was looking for someone, I would have probably opened a table downstairs on my own..."

After He Jing’s response, Manager Lu’s face, which was full of smiles, slowly sank...

He then dialed a mobile number directly.

"Didn’t I ask you to wait downstairs for Mr. Gu’s guests? Why are Mr. Gu’s guests telling me they didn’t see you?"

At this moment, there wasn’t a trace of his previous respect on Manager Lu’s face...

Seeing his stern expression, Gu Heng felt like he was seeing his former boss...

Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Manager Lu interrupted directly, "Enough, no need for explanations. Come up right now and apologize to Mr. Gu. If Mr. Gu doesn’t forgive you, you can hand in your resignation to me."

After saying that, he hung up without hesitation and turned to Gu Heng and the three women with a face full of apologies.

"Please rest assured, we will handle this matter seriously and ensure a satisfactory resolution for you!"

While apologizing, he had already mentally condemned that employee...

They [Pangu Valley] are currently applying for an upgrade from the Black Pearl Two-Diamond Restaurant to the Three-Diamond Restaurant. During such a crucial time, even a single complaint from an ordinary customer might lead the rating agency to reassess, let alone a major client like Gu Heng who dines on the third floor...

This was the first time Gu Heng experienced such a thing...

Earlier, he had only felt that the so-called high-end restaurant service was indeed thoughtful...

After speaking, without waiting for He Jing to continue, he turned towards Xiao Lan, who was staring intently at the sunflower seeds beside him...

Gu Heng tried pushing the seeds towards her, probing, "Want to eat some?"

"Thanks!"

After responding, she unabashedly grabbed the seeds and began cracking them attentively...

Watching her indulgent foodie demeanor, He Jing rolled her eyes again...

"This is Lai Yiting, a newcomer who joined our company a few months ago. You can just call her Xiao Lan like the rest of us... As you can see, she’s a pure foodie. She won’t turn down anything edible..."

Hearing He Jing’s description, Xiao Lan didn’t mind at all. Instead, she lifted her head and gave Gu Heng a goofy smile, just like her character in the short plays shot by the company, portraying a clumsy, foodie beauty.

Being all young, there were no generational gaps, and after a few brief introductions, they gradually started chatting.

Especially Lin Jiayun...

Before meeting Gu Heng, all she knew was the brief description from He Jing.

Some keywords.

[Monthly salary of 4500]

[Doesn’t edit his manuscripts]

[Invisible man lost in the crowd]

...

But upon meeting...

Not to say it was exactly like He Jing described, it was completely different!

How could you call an eighteen, sharply dressed in LV, eating in a private booth on the third floor of Pangu Valley, a loser? A geek? An invisible man?

This stark contrast between hearsay and reality made Lin Jiayun urgently eager to find out more, so she couldn’t help but strike up a conversation with Gu Heng, "Gu Heng, what do you do for work?"

As soon as she finished speaking...

The atmosphere quieted again...

Not only Gu Heng and He Jing, but even Xiao Lan, who had been focusing on her seeds, turned to look at her...

For a long while, Lin Jiayun didn’t understand what she had said wrong...

Until Gu Heng, trying to cosplay as the air conditioner repair guy, gently said, "Well... A few hours ago, I was Jingjing’s scriptwriter, but now... I could be fixing air conditioners..."

"Fixing air conditioners?"

In an instant, Lin Jiayun’s feet curled up under the table...
