Chapter 462 - 212: Not Just Anyone is Qualified to Climb Into My Bed_2
What on earth brought all this about?
Isn’t it all just for money?
To others, I might look like a fool with more money than sense, but Gu Heng didn’t care. Happiness was priceless and he’d happily play the fool, even if it cost millions, tens of millions, or even a hundred million!
"Gu Heng, the lady who performed onstage is back~"
Lin Jiayun, with her sharp eyes, spotted Zhao Maomao’s return and softly warned Gu Heng beside him, but she was clever not to remind him about handing out the prize money, merely mentioning their return.
As far as being clever goes, Lin Jiayun might not be the sharpest tool in the shed.
But when it came to knowing the times and understanding men, she was truly exceptional.
She knew well that being this kind of canary, despite appearing very close to Gu Heng, she actually had no say at all. Even such a well-intended reminder had to be given through tactful hints; showing off too strongly could easily leave an impression in Gu Heng’s mind that she was "teaching him how to handle things"...
Although she felt Gu Heng was probably not that sort of person, people always change.
Who knows if Gu Heng had become like that?
Her sisters saw only Lin Jiayun’s lavish lifestyle with luxury cars and mansions, and high-end dining, completely oblivious to the underlying complexities...
Ordinary people also didn’t understand that even being a canary required certain skills...
Especially for the canaries of truly influential big shots, the skills demanded were even greater. Looks and beauty were just the bare minimum; the real limit was having emotional intelligence and brains.
It was truly like walking on thin ice...
Because for genuine big shots, the saying that "women are like clothes" was not empty talk. They could discard you in a heartbeat, and countless others would swarm in to take your place...
Gu Heng had grown quite experienced now and could understand the implications of Lin Jiayun’s hints. He gave her a meaningful look, caressed her smooth thigh, then stood up and walked toward Zhao Maomao.
He wasn’t worried about Lin Jiayun being scheming; this society was full of women with schemes.
As long as Lin Jiayun behaved, having schemes could even be a good thing.
...
"Maomao, this is 1 million we’re talking about~ After Mr. Gu hands over the money to you later, you must not forget about us."
"That’s right, I’ve been eyeing a new luxury LV bag recently. It’s not too expensive, just over ten thousand. Maybe you could gift me one~ It would at least offer me some consolation~"
...
A chorus of voices buzzed in Zhao Maomao’s ears.
Although Zhao Maomao’s face was always filled with a gentle smile, her mind was full of scorn.
However, Gu Heng didn’t ponder it further.
Whatever Qian Haowei’s motives might be didn’t affect him.
After all, he’s just another rustic boss, and had Gu Heng not whimsically decided to come here tonight, their paths would likely never have crossed. There was no need to care about what he might be thinking.
With this thought, Gu Heng simply said neutrally, "Mr. Qian, the bonus is simply because I made a promise. I, Gu Heng, consider myself a man of my word. Mr. Qian, are you trying to make me out as a person who doesn’t honor his commitments?"
Qian Haowei felt a chill down his spine and quickly explained, "Mr. Gu, you misunderstand, I simply wanted to express my gratitude to you and these ladies."
Qian Haowei couldn’t understand Gu Heng’s thought process.
Taking the initiative to pay this one million, anyone with eyes could see he was extending goodwill, yet not only was Gu Heng ungrateful, but he also responded with such a heart-stabbing remark?
But there was nothing he could do...
Compared to Gu Heng, he was very much the lesser man. Find your next read at novelhall.Côm
A small fish against a big fish, always trying to guess the thoughts of the bigger man, regardless of whether they’re agreeable or not.
Gu Heng couldn’t be bothered to listen to his explanation and turned his attention to Zhao Maomao, "Miss Zhao, you haven’t mentioned how you’d like to receive the payment."
Zhao Maomao initially wanted to engage Gu Heng with a bit of polite small talk, but sensing his impatience, she got straight to the point, "WeChat is fine, it’s more convenient..."
Gu Heng nodded, turning to Lin Jiayun, "Add her on WeChat and transfer one million to her. I’ll reimburse you later."
Lin Jiayun quickly nodded understandingly.
As for Zhao Maomao...
She couldn’t help but feel a touch of disappointment surge within her...
She had intended for Gu Heng to transfer the money via WeChat as a subtle move...
Her hope was to use this opportunity to add Gu Heng as a contact and, if possible, have some private conversations with him...
After all, withdrawing from WeChat carries a fee of 0.1%; that’s 1,000 yuan just in fees on one million, and that 1,000 yuan would be lining the pockets of brokers...
As for Gu Heng...
His thoughts were simple.
He didn’t care whether the girl was decent or not; he wasn’t some animal who indiscriminately indulges in carnal pleasures.
A woman who intentionally experiences a wardrobe malfunction in front of over a thousand people, the thought of what she might have experienced and how chaotic her life might be was almost too much for him.
His standards weren’t high, true, but not just anyone deserved to climb into his bed.
