How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?
Chapter 228: 20 Billion Received
He pushed open the door, and inside the VIP lounge were four people sitting together.
One appeared to be in his thirties, dressed in a suit and wearing glasses, looking gentle and refined. At the moment, he wore a full-faced smile, talking about something unknown, but he stopped as soon as he saw Gu Heng, and turned his gaze toward him.
Another was an even younger man, dressed in casual clothes, legs crossed in a relaxed pose, leaning back on the sofa.
As for the other two, Gu Heng knew them both...
There was no need to say much about Fu Songyang; he was already one of Gu Heng's most familiar friends in the circle...
And there was another Gu Heng hadn't expected to see there; his eyes were fixed intently on her.
Lizi was dressed casually today, in a pair of simple light blue jeans and a pure white T-shirt printed with an unknown LOGO, highlighting her shapely figure. It was particularly difficult to imagine that such a young girl would possess the voluptuous curves normally only found on a full-bodied young matron...
Her face was only lightly made up, a young woman in her twenties like her, with already high good looks and proper regular care, really only needed a light touch of makeup. If she applied it like the internet celebrities, as if it cost them nothing, she would actually look out of place...
Seeing Gu Heng gazing at her so intently, Lizi couldn't help but laugh teasingly, "What? You don't recognize me after just over half a month?"
Due to her cheerful personality, even though she hadn't interacted much with Gu Heng, she could still exhibit a very familiar attitude, otherwise she wouldn't have unwittingly become Gu Heng's wingman, sending Jiang Ruxue, the talented Peking University girl, to Gu Heng's side...
Gu Heng just smiled faintly and had not yet spoken when he saw Fu Songyang stand up and say, "The important guest I invited today has arrived!
Come, let me introduce you."
"Gu Heng, this name might have been unfamiliar to you before, but these past few days you must have heard it a lot, right? The Chairman of IDE Capital, a true heavyweight, who would definitely make it to the top 200 of the Hurun Rich List if it were updated, way stronger than a little nobody like me, ranking beyond a thousand."
After finishing, he laughed as he introduced the bespectacled man to Gu Heng, "This is Chen Zhi, Mr. Chen, the current Operations Director for Sina, an acting Vice President in charge of Weibo operations."
Gu Heng, after listening to Fu Songyang's introduction, also smiled and walked forward to shake hands with Chen Zhi.
Sina's Acting Vice President, and one with real power at that.
People like him, although not as wealthy as the capital magnates, are someone whom few magnates wouldn't want to befriend.
The reason is simple; they have true competence.
No matter how powerful a capital is, it can't be supported by a single person.
Like Gu Heng, who could at most be considered to have just stepped into the capital circle. If he had a problem, the entire IDE would instantly collapse.
But Sina?
Even if Sina's top boss suddenly disappeared, Weibo would still run smoothly, because Sina has many powerful professional managers like Chen Zhi.
After shaking hands, Gu Heng turned his questioning gaze to the young man standing aside.
Fu Songyang, seeing Gu Heng's look, only smiled and said, "Let Lizi introduce him. He's familiar with her, they live in the same complex."
Gu Heng understood at once...
Looks like another child of power-based privilege...
Lizi also chimed in with a cheerful smile, "This is my childhood friend, a year older than me. His name is Yu Wenxiang, and he is currently a deputy section chief at the grassroots level in the Publicity Department."
Logically speaking, given Gu Heng's status, even when facing the Mayor of Hangcheng City, although not exactly on equal footing, there was no need to be too cautious. As for an ordinary section chief...
Frankly speaking...
Gu Heng didn't need to care at all...
But the Yu Wenxiang in front of him was certainly an exception.
Lizi had made it very clear; Yu Wenxiang was only one year older than her. She was 22 this year, so that made him 23...
A 23-year-old deputy section chief just after graduating from college, in the current bloated civil servant system, was already impressive, since these days, being able to reach deputy section status before turning 30 in a political heartland like Jingcheng would be considered quite a feat.
Yu Wenxiang's position as a deputy section chief right after graduating from university clearly indicated that his family had pulled some strings...
After all, there's quite a distinction between the second-generation rich and the second-generation powerful.
Someone like Principal Wang, being a second-generation rich kid, could be placed in Wanda by Lao Wang right after graduating from college, becoming a director at Wanda Group...
But for a second-generation authority figure...
Even if their father's connections reached the sky, or even if they themselves were the sky, they still had to follow the rules. And given Fu Songyang's status, if Yu Wenxiang didn't have a true big shot behind him, why would he be in this setting?
With this thought, Gu Heng also smiled and extended his hand towards Yu Wenxiang, "Hello, Gu Heng."
Although Yu Wenxiang had been lounging lazily just before, as Gu Heng offered his hand, he also stood up and took it, "Tsk, Mr. Gu, I have to say you really know how to play the game.
Mr. Fu just gave us a rough outline of your plans. Now that you, the man himself, are here, do you have time to chat with us again?"
Although only 23 years old, a year younger than Gu Heng.
The education he'd received from a young age and the environment he was immersed in made it impossible for Yu Wenxiang to be as unreliable as Jiang Wen, but no matter what, he was still young and couldn't hide things away.
