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

Descending from a room 230 meters above the ground, Gu Heng once again experienced the "ear-cupping service"...

Although even without having his ears cupped, he probably would not have felt any discomfort...

But Gu Heng still accepted Xu Ying’s service without any intention of stopping her...

Who would refuse a beautiful woman using her warm little hands to gently cover your ears while looking at you with affection?

Especially since he had paid for it...

If it weren’t for the hefty sum he spent, why would Xu Ying be so attentive?

So, it was a service he had bought with his money, and even if he didn’t need it at all, enjoying it came without any psychological burden...

....

At this time, a Toyota Alphard was parked not far from the hotel entrance below...

Seeing this bulky business car, Gu Heng glanced at a sign nearby...

[No Vehicles Beyond This Point!]

The six bold characters were quite glaring...

Following Gu Heng’s gaze, Xu Ying knew what he was thinking and explained with a smile, "This sign was set up by the cultural tourism department during construction to restrict the random parking of tourists’ vehicles which may disrupt order."

Hearing her explanation, Gu Heng just smiled without saying much.

If it really was about stopping illegal parking, then it should be done without exception, not allowing any vehicles to pass through...

Just say it’s a privilege for the few and be honest about it.

No need to dress it up as maintaining order...

Why can’t they be as honest as those in the capital service industry? Although they also practice privilege, there’s no hiding it; they make it clear that as long as you have money, you are God...

No need to play the whore while setting up a shrine...

Honestly, although Gu Heng was somewhat repelled by this hypocrisy, he didn’t show it...

For a simple reason...

He was the beneficiary... why make things difficult for himself?

How is this any different from "Why would His Majesty rebel?"

Lightly pulling on the door handle, the electric sliding door automatically opened...

Xu Ying turned around and invited him, "Mr. Gu, please get in the car."

Gu Heng glanced at the car’s interior and couldn’t help but marvel again inside, just how many luxuries are there that rich people can’t think of...

A seven-seater business car was genuinely transformed into a four-seater...

The interior decoration was even superior to that of his Bentley Flying Spur...

Seeing Gu Heng had stepped into the back seat, Xu Ying eagerly began to introduce the vehicle.

"This Toyota Alphard had its rear half compartment stripped of excess seating, replaced with dual massage chairs, and the interior was redecorated by designers from Toyota at a great expense by our hotel. It’s unparalleled in comfort," she said.

Then, pointing at a button next to the armrest of the seat, she continued, "The car is fully soundproofed, not only is it difficult for outside noise to get in, but even the voice of the driver can’t be heard.

So if Mr. Gu has any needs while in the car, you can press this button, allowing me to attend to your needs from the front passenger seat immediately."

Gu Heng, already sitting in the seat, looked around while listening to Xu Ying’s explanation...

To be honest...

In terms of prestige, the Toyota Alphard isn’t a match for his Bentley Flying Spur.

But from just a few minutes inside, it was enough for Gu Heng to make a comparison...

And the soundproof feature Xu Ying had mentioned...

At first listen, it doesn’t seem so useful...

But after some thought, its potential benefits seemed considerable...

If he were to take a girl on a trip in such a car, Gu Heng dared not think how fast the idle time would pass...

Maybe not a thousand miles in a day,

but a hundred miles would certainly be doable...

"Mr. Gu, if you’re ready, shall we depart?

Do you need me to turn on the LCD screen and play a movie or something to pass the time?"

Gu Heng shook his head.

"Just ten or so minutes, no need."

"Alright then, the electric storage cabinet is beside you, inside are disinfected eye masks. If you feel tired later, you can wear the eye mask and rest a bit. Don’t worry, the vehicle will not have any vibrations to disturb you."

After she finished speaking and saw Gu Heng nod, Xu Ying pulled the door handle again, and the electric door gently closed...

Xu Ying herself then sat in the front passenger seat...

As the vehicle slowly moved off, the scenery outside began to change...

Xu Ying didn’t exaggerate in the slightest...

Sitting in the car, Gu Heng didn’t feel the slightest sign of movement from the vehicle...not even riding high-speed rail was this stable.

Although he was not very knowledgeable about cars, Gu Heng knew that this Toyota Alphard had undergone significant modifications...

The cost was likely even higher than his Bentley Flying Spur...

Thinking of this, Gu Heng had an idea...

Not only did he want to buy a supercar while in Shanghai; a comfortable car like this was indispensable...

And to get a personal secretary as well—directly upgrading from an ordinary person to the lifestyle expected of the rich!

....

After driving for about ten minutes, Gu Heng, who was taking a brief nap, was awakened by his mobile phone’s ringtone...

The small ringtone seemed so jarring in this quiet cabin...

Glancing at the caller ID, Gu Heng instantly chose to answer.

"Brother!!!"

The startled voice of Gu Xinran rang in Gu Heng’s ear...

Causing him to instinctively pull the phone away from his ear...

"What’s the situation?"

"Have you come to Shanghai?" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Gu Heng didn’t deny it.

"You’re being too much! Am I still your sister? To think that I only found out you were in Shanghai through someone else!"
