Chapter 264 - 134: Is Gu Heng So Influential Now?_2
Li Haibin hesitated for a long time before he couldn’t help but ask, "Hengzi, can I ask you something?"
"Ask away."
"How much money do you actually have now? I’ve been wanting to ask you since you mentioned that the car costs 47 million, and now you’re talking about a project worth several billion. I can’t quite wrap my head around it..."
"But if it’s not convenient for you to say, then just pretend I didn’t ask."
Hearing Li Haibin’s question, Gu Heng smiled and responded, "There’s nothing inconvenient about it, just a few billion. But that’s the number for now; who knows, by the next time you ask me it might be tens of billions, or you might not even need to ask—you can see me on the Forbes or Hurun rich lists."
Li Haibin and Song Hua exchanged glances, looking at each other’s bobbing Adam’s apples, unsure of what to say...
Watching their expressions, Gu Heng felt a mix of smug pleasure and some confliction...
He hoped that in the future, money wouldn’t affect the feelings they shared now...
After all, he didn’t want to indulge himself to the point of becoming a solitary person after having enjoyed all that he could...

In the following period, at Gu Heng’s insistence, Li Haibin and Song Hua each took turns driving his Bugatti Divo and tearing up the streets.
At first, they were both somewhat reserved, but gradually, they let go, driving the black lightning through the streets and alleys of Yangcheng City without aim, while Gu Heng followed behind in Song Hua’s Honda Civic...
Given the traffic conditions in Yangcheng, there’s really no difference in speed between sports cars and regular cars in the city; the only difference is one goes unnoticed, while the other is an eye-catcher...
After that, the three of them exchanged glances and laughed together.
"Alright, now that you’ve had your fun, let’s move on to the next project. My personal secretary has booked the hotel, and she reserved two extra rooms. Don’t bother going back, just stay at the hotel for the next few days."
Li Haibin couldn’t help but say, "Should I go back and quit my job first? There’s half a month’s salary still due at the factory, quite a few thousand."
Gu Heng looked at his petty behavior and couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "Are you worried they won’t give you your salary? Just call your boss and tell them you’re quitting, ask them to send your salary on time.
If they dare to withhold your pay, I’ll have my lawyers knock on their door to recover your wages for you, okay?"
"It’s not necessary, not necessary..."
Li Haibin smiled awkwardly...
Gu Heng also shook his head and directly took the driver’s seat of the Bugatti Divo.

On the other hand, Xu Ying, who received Gu Heng’s call, said to the manager of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, "Manager Zhang, my boss will arrive at the hotel in about 10 minutes. Have you finished checking the rooms?"
The General Manager of the Yangcheng Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Zhang Sheng, hurriedly assured her, "Secretary Xu, rest assured, upon learning of Mr. Gu’s stay, I have arranged for three separate management teams to inspect the Presidential Suite, ensuring that not even a single hair strand will be found, even in places hard to clean!"
The Yangcheng Ritz-Carlton Hotel’s reputation wasn’t great...
Many well-known hotel bloggers have complained about it.
As Gu Heng’s personal secretary, Xu Ying certainly needed to be aware of the situation in advance, so she repeatedly emphasized the cleanliness of the rooms while making the reservation. After all, if Gu Heng was dissatisfied, the hotel would be responsible, but her role as personal secretary couldn’t escape blame either. Explore stories at empire
And in fact, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel had already been on high alert after learning that Gu Heng was a distinguished ambassador member, dedicating one hundred and twenty percent effort to ensure satisfaction.
