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

Chapter 198 - 116: Aventador’s Last Swansong_2



Wu Yifeng saw Gu Heng and very familiarly patted his shoulder, saying, "Dude, are you a professional racer? From an international team?"

"Damn, I was watching you drive the entire time, it was freaking awesome! I can’t even imagine, if I brought a few chicks to see this, how many times I could score tonight!"

Gu Heng looked at the excited Wu Yifeng in front of him, his face full of confusion.

???

Who is this guy?

Do I know him?

Gu Heng had seen plenty of social butterflies, but this was the first time he encountered someone who started discussing how many times he could score right off the bat...

Seeing Gu Heng’s bewildered expression, Tong Jingcheng gave up on continuing to fret over his car and quickly walked over to Gu Heng to help him out...

"This is a buddy from our car enthusiast group, Wu Yifeng, from Jinling, a real second-generation rich kid, usually talks big, you shouldn’t take him to heart."

While speaking, he started introducing Gu Heng to everyone else.

"This is Gu Heng, a friend I met in Hang City, he said he wants to buy a supercar but complained that buying one from a store takes too long, so I brought him along this time."

The quiet observer, Lu Yuan, brightened up when he heard what Tong Jingcheng said, and then he approached proactively.

"Hello, my name is Lu Yuan."

While speaking, he also very formally reached out his hand to Gu Heng...

Handshakes, a ritual frequently seen on TV...

But to be honest, this was really Gu Heng’s first experience...

Mainly because he never needed it...

When he was broke, the strangers he dealt with the most were delivery guys, courier guys...

If he went to shake hands with them when he didn’t need to, they might even think he had some kind of problem...

Now that he had money, most of his interactions were with people in the service industry...

Their rituals were all about bowing, and all he needed to do was receive them...

Learning from the handshaking posture he had seen on TV, Gu Heng brought his four fingers together, thumb outstretched, briefly shook hands with Lu Yuan, smiling and said, "Hello, my name is Gu Heng." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Gu Heng, this is President Lu, a real big shot, whose family assets are on the Hurun Rich List, the first entry when you search Lu Yuan on Baidu. (PS: Made up.)

However, he’s quite down-to-earth, we usually just call him Brother Lu."

Tong Jingcheng timely chimed in with the introduction.

Upon hearing Tong Jingcheng’s introduction, Gu Heng couldn’t help but give Lu Yuan a few more looks...

This was the first time since birth that Gu Heng was in close proximity to a true big shot, the highest socially ranked person he had met before was Lin Ran...

The Hurun Rich List, huh...

Even if ranked over a thousand, one would still have assets worth several billion, right?

He had no idea that a car enthusiast gathering Tong Jingcheng invited him to would have such a big shot present...

Lu Yuan didn’t pay attention to Tong Jingcheng but smiled faintly at Gu Heng, saying, "I just heard Little Tong say you want to buy a car? Do you have a specific model in mind? If you do, you can tell me, I have some connections in the supercar community here, I could ask around for you."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan’s question, Gu Heng was a bit startled...

Are big shots all this approachable?

So proactive in offering help?

If it weren’t for Tong Jingcheng swearing earlier that you could even find him on Baidu, Gu Heng would have doubted this guy was some kind of scammer...

A real big shot, even if not supremely arrogant, probably wouldn’t be this enthusiastic, right...

Seeing Gu Heng’s dazed look, Lu Yuan guessed what he was thinking and immediately explained with a smile, "Don’t get me wrong, I am not some middleman trying to make money off you.

I just watched your driving at the racetrack and thought it’s a shame for a racing talent like you not to have your own sports car."

The overly friendly Wu Yifeng also laughed and put his arm around Gu Heng’s shoulder, "He doesn’t have any other hobbies, just loves racing.

But this guy is old, can’t race himself, so he set up an amateur racing team, and whoever he sees with good driving skills, he wants to pull into his team, don’t overthink it."

Hearing Wu Yifeng’s explanation, Gu Heng then laughed, "I was just surprised that a big shot on the rich list could be so approachable.

But honestly, if you, Brother Lu, have any connections, I’d really appreciate it if you could hook me up, I’m not picky about the brand or model, as long as I can get my hands on it quickly."

Honestly speaking...

I just tried Tong Jingcheng’s SF90, my first time driving a supercar, and it really got me hooked, one round wasn’t enough."

"Wait a second..."

Hearing Gu Heng’s words, Lu Yuan interrupted.

The others also focused their surprised gazes on Gu Heng simultaneously.

"Did you say it’s your first time driving a sports car?"

Gu Heng also nodded and said, "Yeah, I previously bought a Bentley Flying Spur, the driving feel of that kind of luxury car is too different from a sports car."

Wu Yifeng: "Are you bluffing? With the skills you just showed, you couldn’t have reached this level without a few years of practice."

Of course, Gu Heng couldn’t tell him he had a system, and even if he was considered to be bluffing, he could only tough it out.

"I only got my driver’s license recently, how could I have practiced for years?"

Wu Yifeng wanted to continue arguing, but Lu Yuan spoke up, "Some people really do have strong driving talent, there’s a young man from Hong Kong Island in my team who also hadn’t touched a sports car before, he did quite well his first time racing."

After speaking, he turned to Gu Heng and asked, "Are you interested in joining a professional racing team? If what you’re saying is true, with your talent, I feel it won’t take two years for you to sweep all major racing awards."
