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

The dishes were quickly served...

The small table was packed tightly with eleven dishes...

Rejecting the waiter’s suggestion to change tables, Gu Heng started showing off as soon as he picked up a bowl of rice...

The chopsticks nearly left afterimages on the plates...

Partly because he was really hungry.

On the other hand, he had never really had good food at home...

When he first returned home, maybe because of the familial love, Gu Heng had no complaints about the home food, even finding it quite tasty...

But as he spent more time at home, the taste of those ordinary dishes faded over time, saying they were unpleasant was an overstatement, but they were just filling...

To truly enjoy good food, one must go to these high-end restaurants...

In less than two minutes, Gu Heng had polished off an entire bowl of rice with the delicious crab powder tofu and casually handed the clean bowl to the waiter to serve himself another, then turned to He Jing, "Zhang Yang even held back your year-end bonus, are you sure you can get this month’s salary?

What about the credit card debt and mortgage afterwards?

You don’t want to work hard for years to buy a house and have it taken away by the bank before you even move in."

He Jing had thought about this issue too, and after a slight silence, she put down her chopsticks.

"I’m thinking of letting my parents sell the house in the county town at a low price and come live with me in Hang City. Although the house in the county isn’t worth much, it should help us get through for a while."

This decision was also made out of necessity...

Who would have thought that a mega influencer with millions of followers collapsed just because of a house...

Seeing her look, Gu Heng shook his head helplessly and then took out his phone and transferred the maximum limit of 200,000 yuan to He Jing’s WeChat.

Seeing the notification on her phone, He Jing widened her eyes and looked up at Gu Heng, full of confusion.

"Alright, keep it.

Don’t think I’m pitying you, just consider it a loan from me. Pay me back when you have money.

Also, you’ve added Qin Ya on WeChat. Let her handle the lawsuit with the company; it’ll save you some lawyer fees. I’ll talk to her later."

Listening to Gu Heng’s words, He Jing’s eyes instantly reddened... Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Gu Heng, quick to notice, hurriedly said, "Don’t give me that look; I find women crying most irritating. When women cry, it makes me want to laugh. Don’t make me laugh in such a public place."

Lin Jiayun was already seething with jealousy...

She hadn’t gotten Gu Heng to spend 200,000 yuan on her yet, but without doing anything, He Jing had 200,000 transferred to her...

How could she not feel jealous...

But knowing her place, she could only suppress her jealousy and try to comfort He Jing alongside others...

As the waiter brought the food, Gu Heng, while gobbling down his meal, muffledly said, "What if, I mean just if, I invested in an influencer media company and invited you to manage it, do you think it has potential?"

He Jing: "???"

Lin Jiayun: "???"

Both put down their chopsticks, staring straight at Gu Heng.

Seeing their wide eyes, Gu Heng swallowed his food and said, "Why the ghostly expressions?"

"You said you want to invest in an influencer media company?"

He Jing and Lin Jiayun said in unison.

"What’s wrong?"

Lin Jiayun’s sense of crisis surged instantly...

There were quite a few shell companies in the influencer circle merely funded by wealthy people, not to turn a profit but rather to create a harem for themselves...

After all, most decent-looking girls nowadays want quick money...

And there are only a few ways to make quick money...

Either become an influencer or a star.

Those rich second generations, the wealthy, they just know these girls’ mindset, thereby creating media companies directly, making these girls fall into their traps without needing to scout for beauties elsewhere...

Lin Jiayun thought that was Gu Heng’s intention...

If Gu Heng knew her thoughts, he would surely kiss her fiercely...

But obviously, he wasn’t...

With his current understanding, he couldn’t imagine the wealthy could play such intricate games, no longer actively chasing after girls but starting mass production...

As for why he suddenly said he wanted to invest in an influencer company, it was just a sudden inspiration...

If anyone asked what he did in the future, he could just say he owned a small company, a cover for his large assets...

And through the system’s teaching, he learned that having money alone wasn’t enough, one must also know how to spend it. He was indeed planning to establish his own industry to give himself a social identity, mere wealth was too flimsy, a bit like rootless duckweed...

After He Jing’s initial intense reaction, she resolutely shook her head.

"Such MCN incubators are already saturated, nine and a half out of ten entering this field suffer losses, companies like Galaxy Media succeeded wildly with the rise of short videos. If you asked him to start another company now, he could hardly make money.

Moreover, the cycle is too long. The signing fee for digging up a major influencer runs into tens or hundreds of millions, and self-cultivating one takes at least a year or two to see results. If you really want to make money, better put your money in bank finance, don’t overthink it."

"Is it that troublesome?"

Having thought he learned something during his time at Galaxy Media turned out to be nothing, Gu Heng could only helplessly shake his head, "Then I guess I won’t invest."
