Chapter 143 - 100: Revisiting Galaxy Media_2
Lin Jiayun didn’t even pay attention to him, and after connecting the call, she began reporting the situation to the operator.
As for Gu Heng... Listening to Zhang Yang speaking in the same old tone, he oddly wanted to laugh...
"Zhang Yang? I’m here to pick up my girlfriend for dinner; that shouldn’t be a problem, right?
After all, I’m a boss, shouldn’t I have some poise?"
Apparently not expecting Gu Heng to speak to him in that tone, Zhang Yang’s eyes widened incredulously behind his glasses, staring at Gu Heng...
And those former colleagues, upon hearing Gu Heng’s words, also cheered internally...
Some who had been planning to resign were even more determined about their decision...
If they really resigned, they definitely had to give that stupid boss a piece of their mind...
Gu Heng didn’t know about these former colleagues’ thoughts; he just quietly waited for Lin Jiayun to call the police.
If it weren’t for today’s special circumstances, he hadn’t planned on stepping back into Galaxy Media’s doors...
Showboating in front of these former colleagues with whom he had no relationship brought him no pleasure... With that time, he’d rather find a massage parlor and chat with the masseuse about her miserable life...
"Yes, the address here is..."
Finally, after giving the address to the operator, Lin Jiayun turned to Gu Heng with a sweet smile: "All done!"
Ning Baojun, seeing that someone had actually called the police, felt agitated...
He had just wanted to recover his dignity today...
If He Jing really wasn’t willing, he didn’t have the power to force her; worst case, he would just ask for the money he spent back...
Now that the police were involved, things had gotten complicated...
But since the report had already been made, Ning Baojun wasn’t going to back down, pointing at He Jing and saying, "Calling the police?
Is calling the police useful? I consulted with a lawyer before coming here, your actions constitute inducement to consume, and at worst it’s fraud!
I still have our chat record, if you don’t pay back the 300,000, just wait and see who the police will trouble."
The more he spoke, the more confident Ning Baojun became...
He grabbed a chair nearby and sat down.
After hearing Ning Baojun’s words, Gu Heng took a deep breath and turned to He Jing, saying, "Is this true?"
He Jing still avoided eye contact, too scared to speak...
Exhaling slowly to release his tension, Gu Heng’s tone grew colder: "Then just pay him back the 300,000. You’re not short of money, better to avoid further complications."
Disappointment.
That was probably the feeling in Gu Heng’s heart right now...
Why had he always treated He Jing much better than Lin Jiayun?
Wasn’t it because He Jing was different from other internet celebrities? Compared to the other internet celebrities’ decadence, He Jing was like a breath of fresh air...
She didn’t want to livestream, didn’t fish for wealthy patrons, and didn’t indulge in flirting.
Other internet celebrities’ IPs wandered all over the country, their social circles full of luxury goods and high-end hotels.
Gu Heng looked at Ning Baojun’s arrogant face...
The more he looked, the more annoyed he became...
He didn’t lack three hundred thousand and could easily pay on behalf of He Jing, and without accidents, He Jing would definitely repay him as soon as possible.
But the thought of actually returning the money to such a jerk made him uncomfortable...
He had acted tough several times, throwing out vast amounts of money each time.
Although the system reimbursed him, the money was still spent!
And this guy?
Not only did he act tough, but now he wanted to act tough and run away...
Life’s not that sweet...
Just as Gu Heng was contemplating how to handle the situation, something suddenly popped into his mind...
[Solve a Trouble Once: 500,000] (Can solve troubles worth up to 500,000 yuan for the host once)
This item was something he bought when he first acquired the system...
At that time, he spent 2.5 million and bought three items.
[Basic Driving Skills] [Basic Fighting] Both of these were quite practical...
His dashing one-handed driving skill came from [Basic Driving Skills]...
[Basic Fighting], although he hadn’t used it, acted as a passive skill that made him slightly more aggressive when going out, and he certainly wouldn’t end up like Principal Wang, taking a girl to northeastern barbecue and then getting shot in the head.
As for this [Solve a Trouble Once], if not for today’s situation, he would have truly forgotten about it...
With his personality of acting tough but not seeking trouble, he really had little use for such an item...
Especially as his savings increased...
He almost didn’t need it at all...
After all, most troubles could be resolved with money, and if not, just add more money.
If he really encountered a problem that almost a billion in savings couldn’t solve...
Then probably this item wouldn’t cut it either...
After all, the limitation of the item was clear, solving troubles worth under 500,000 once...
Gu Heng gave it no more thought and directly said to the system in his mind, "Use the [Solve a Trouble Once] item."
[Detected the current trouble’s value for the host is: 370,000, do you want to use it?]
"Yes."
[The item has taken effect, the trouble will be resolved within 2 hours in a normal, reasonable, and legal manner, with no supernatural phenomena involved.]
After saying this, the system disappeared without a trace...
Gu Heng glanced around at the people nearby, everything was still the same, and he couldn’t help but blink...
An item worth 500,000 per use, just like that?
It couldn’t be a counterfeit or shoddy product, could it?
