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

Chapter 68: Chapter 66: The World is a Huge Bitch



"May I speak with Mr. Gu Heng?"

A pleasant female voice came through the phone.

Gu Heng was somewhat puzzled. For such unfamiliar numbers, he had thought it was some internet loan or game advertisement since, in his younger days, he'd left his phone number when signing up on dubious websites, and his number was sold off, making these messy advertisements inevitable...

However, since the caller knew his name, he guessed it might not be an advertisement, so he simply replied, "Yes, I am."

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Zhu Shuting, a senior client manager at the Construction Bank Hang City branch. I noticed that your account has had frequent large-scale deposits and withdrawals recently. May I ask if these were made by you personally?"

As soon as Zhu Shuting finished speaking, Gu Heng knew why the call had been made.

Prior to this, there had been expenditures and incomes of several hundred thousand or million, but those were still small fry for the bank. The system had just rewarded him with nearly 70 million, a number far from insignificant...

The bank couldn't remain indifferent.

"It was operated by me personally."

Gu Heng responded quite frankly.

The system had already explained the source of the funds to him, which were legitimate and traceable. He had nothing to hide and, moreover, if the bank had detected any problems with the funds, they wouldn't be calling him courteously but would have sent the police to his doorstep.

"Since that's the case, then we are relieved. Also, I'm not sure when you will be available. Given the substantial amount of your savings, you are considered a premium customer at our Construction Bank. We can tailor a personal financial service for you, including some special courtesies.

If you are available, I would personally visit you with our staff to explain the services we've tailored for you in detail."

Listening to Zhu Shuting's respectful and polite tone, Gu Heng couldn't help but grind his teeth a bit.

Fuck, back when his bank card was lost and he went to report it, he had to queue up five or six times. Each time, nothing was said until he reached the front, and then they would tell him the documents were incomplete, unable to process the request, just for a damn card which took him days running to the bank.

Now things had changed; he didn't need to do anything, just because he had more money, the bank's manager was personally coming over to handle his affairs.

No wonder they say the only kind of people banks serve are the rich...

But now, as he had nothing else to do and was curious about how the bank would serve him, Gu Heng said, "No need for the trouble; I happen to have time now. I'll come directly to your branch."

Hearing how straightforward Gu Heng agreed, Zhu Shuting was a bit surprised as she had dealt with many demanding rich clients, but it was her first time coming across someone so forthright.

"Then I will wait here for Mr. Gu."

Having said this, Gu Heng hung up the phone.

"Do you have something to take care of?"

Upon seeing Gu Heng put away his phone, Lin Jiayun had already forgotten what she was originally going to say and asked crisply.

He nodded.

"There's something at the bank that I need to handle."

As soon as Lin Jiayun heard the word "bank", she became alert and continued asking, "What is it?"

With a mocking expression, Gu Heng jokingly said, "The bank said I have stored too much money, they need me to confirm and handle it, do you want to come with me?"

"Bluff! You spent over a million on a house already, what money do you have left in the bank?"

She first scoffed.

But upon thinking that Gu Heng invited her proactively, Lin Jiayun was quite excited and then proudly lifted her fair neck, "But since you asked so sincerely, I'll graciously accompany you."

With a smile, Gu Heng said nothing further.

By now, he thoroughly understood what kind of woman Lin Jiayun was.

The smarter the woman, the greedier.

She didn't care about how much money Gu Heng could give her now, but rather, how much money Gu Heng had in total.

Seeing her current behavior, if he wasn't mistaken, spending 10 million to buy a house had already started to sway her decision. With that, Gu Heng planned to administer a stronger dose next.

Wasn't she in love with money?

Then this time, he would let her have her fill.

Thinking of this, Gu Heng smiled and said to Chen Hao, "Manager Chen, I'll have to trouble you to take us to Construction Bank."

"Mr. Gu, you are too polite."

....

....

Twenty minutes later.

A sleek, black Audi A8L parked in the outdoor parking lot of the Construction Bank Hang City branch. This time, Chen Hao did not follow but chose to stay in the car as the driver, waiting for Gu Heng to return.

After entering the bank's main doors with Lin Jiayun, he headed straight for the office of the lobby manager.

"Hello, could you please contact your customer manager Zhu Shuting, and tell her that my name is Gu Heng and that she asked me to come."

Gu Heng was very polite in his tone.

There wasn't a hint of a commanding attitude.

Gu Heng's personality was naturally pleasant, especially since the system arrived, it had improved even more; he treated everyone from ordinary servers to salespeople with great respect.

Upon hearing this, the lobby manager first glanced at Gu Heng, politely responded, and then immediately made a call to Zhu Shuting's office to check.

After confirming, he hung up the phone, and it was unclear what Zhu Shuting had said on the other end, but the lobby manager's attitude became even more enthusiastic, and he stood up smiling, "Mr. Gu, please wait a moment, Manager Zhu will be here shortly."

Gu Heng politely smiled, then casually chatted with Lin Jiayun to pass the time.

In just over a minute, a woman in her thirties dressed in black tights, a pencil skirt, and a blazer hurried over, followed by two men dressed as sales associates.

"Manager Zhu, this is Mr. Gu," said the lobby manager as he quickly introduced them.

Zhu Shuting directly ignored the lobby manager and approached Gu Heng.

"I apologize, Mr. Gu. It was a mistake on my part not to come down earlier to wait for you, wasting your time. I'm very sorry."

Considering the attentive attitude, along with his previous experiences of being treated transparently when losing his bank card, his entire being was permeated with one feeling. Chapter Experience:

Thrilled!

The world was indeed a colossal bitch, serving only those with money.

Gu Heng, though lost in his thoughts and unresponsive, heard Zhu Shuting speak respectfully, "Mr. Gu, please follow me; the lobby is too crowded, we can go to the VIP room and talk comfortably."

The commotion caused by Zhu Shuting wasn't small, and many in the lobby had noticed, but although Gu Heng liked to show off, he didn't enjoy being spectated like a monkey. He promptly followed Zhu Shuting to the reception room with Lin Jiayun.

After Gu Heng left, those in line for service also withdrew their gazes.

They didn't need to speculate about who Gu Heng was.

The bank's display had already given them the answer.

And the answer was simple.

Wealthy man.
