Kapitel 25: Chapter 25: Warm-hearted Hospitality
By the time Gu Heng had spent 2.5 million to purchase "Basic Driving Skills," "Basic Fighting," and "Solve a Trouble Once," the balance of his Construction Bank card dropped instantly from 5.74 million to 3.24 million.
His total assets had shrunk by nearly half in an instant...
But he wasn't the slightest bit worried...
He considered it a temporary custody fee to the system—sooner or later, he intended to fleece it back manifold.
....
....
Just as Gu Heng was about to turn off his phone screen and go back to sleep, a video call came through.
He was mildly surprised, wondering who would call him so early in the morning, and then pressed the green button.
Once the video connected, Lin Jiayun's incredibly refined face appeared before Gu Heng.
In the phone, Lin Jiayun had already applied her lovely makeup, her light brown hair upswept into a cute bun, her clear earlobes free of any excess adornment, her long eyelashes seemingly shivering from the cold, trembling with every blink.
Her tempting fox eyes were outlined with long eyeliner extending to the corners, and she was staring right at the phone through pale blue colored contacts.
In contrast, the Gu Heng in the small corner of the screen looked like a pure and disheveled otaku...
If their video were to be uploaded online, netizens would probably think it was photoshopped...
It was too discordant...
But Lin Jiayun didn't seem to care at all, squinting her eyes and saying, "I knew you were still sleeping, little slacker! Get up now!"
???
A few question marks instantly arose above Gu Heng's head.
"No, sis, I can understand if you want to wake up early and be a go-getter, but why are you waking me up?"
"Gu Heng! Who are you calling sis?!"
Girls' imaginations are always so peculiar...
Call her a go-getter, she doesn't get mad; call her an elder sister, and she instantly bristles...
"Alright, alright, I won't call you sis. Is there anything else? If not, I'm going back to sleep."
Having said that, he was about to hang up the call.
Seeing Gu Heng's actions, Lin Jiayun quickly said, "Didn't you mention yesterday that you were going to buy a car today? I just happen to not have a shoot this morning, so I'll reluctantly accompany you. With a big internet celebrity like me, who has 2 million followers, by your side, the salesperson will surely treat you differently.
But you don't need to thank me too much since someone as warm-hearted as me, Lin Jiayun, is well-known to you."
"I'm warning you, don't slander me, how would I know if you're genuine or warm-hearted, I've never tested it..."
Listening to Gu Heng's words, Lin Jiayun's brow furrowed: "What do you mean you've never tested it? What nonsense are you talking about?"
But the next second, Lin Jiayun understood the implication behind Gu Heng's words...
"Gu! Heng!"
Watching Lin Jiayun grit her teeth, Gu Heng couldn't help but laugh out loud on his end of the phone and continued to tease, "But seriously, I never knew you were so open, Lin Jiayun. Forget about drumming, but to think you could also..."
"Shut up! Keep talking, and when I see you later, I'll rip that thing off you! I'm at the company right now, you have half an hour to come and pick me up!"
Having said that, she hung up the phone...
...
...
Though the call had ended.
But with Lin Jiayun bringing it up, Gu Heng was indeed somewhat tempted...
As for cars, he had seen plenty, but hadn't really understood much about them.
Having someone to consult wasn't a bad idea, especially when that someone was a beautiful woman. Even if she couldn't offer much in the way of advice, just looking at that pretty face would lift his spirits.
After having been a corporate slave for so long, his biological clock was set, and even if he tried to sleep now, he probably wouldn't be able to. Thinking this, Gu Heng turned over, planning to get up.
He glanced at his WeChat interface again and saw that Jiajun, who had added him on WeChat last night, had sent him several messages, so he clicked to open the conversation.
The messages had been sent at eight in the morning.
Four of them were WeChat friend recommendations.
Gu Heng took a cursory look...
Really, when it was said that Gu Heng had a wide network, it was no joke—the four WeChat recommendations were all luxury car brands...
Apart from Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche, which were relatively familiar luxury brands, there was also a Bentley salesperson's WeChat account.
After adding each one, Gu Heng then typed out a simple 'Thank you' and sent it to Jiajun.
Just a few seconds after the message was sent, a WeChat call from Jiajun came through...
"Mr. Gu, good morning."
There was a hint of fatigue in his voice.
Facing his greeting, Gu Heng was a bit puzzled. At nine in the morning, wasn't this the time when club promoters were supposed to be asleep? He couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you gone to bed yet?"
On the other end of the line, Jiajun forced a smile and said, "Isn't this because I have to make sure all matters are taken care of for you, Mr. Gu?"
Without waiting for Gu Heng to respond, he continued, "The four WeChat accounts I recommended for you are my friends. I've already briefed them and introduced your basic situation.
They've also assured me that they will offer you the largest discounts and process all the paperwork as quickly as possible.
The car-buying business can be quite complex, and it's easy to fall into traps.
Although money isn't an issue for you, after all, nobody's money comes blown in by the wind; it's always good to save where you can...
Plus, if there are any issues later on, you don't need to contact them; just come directly to me!"
Hearing Jiajun's words, Gu Heng on the other side of the call smiled and sincerely uttered a word of thanks.
Undeniably, Jiajun was so eager to help because there were benefits involved for him, but so what?
The nature of adult social interactions is all about mutual benefit, right?
Not to mention, while he was still snuggled comfortably in bed, the other was up all night, earnestly seeing to his affairs, and that in itself was enough.
What made Gu Heng even more thrilled was the feeling of being valued and appreciated.
Would an ordinary person receive such treatment from others?
The Gu Heng of the past would have had to plead for someone to bring him a meal, yet now, a casual word from him could keep people busy all night. There was no other feeling quite like it; this was one of the reasons ordinary people envied the wealthy and those with status.
On hearing Gu Heng's thanks, Jiajun quickly responded on the phone, "Mr. Gu, you're too kind. I'm glad I could help. If you need anything else in the future, just let me know and I'll make sure it's taken care of."
"Alright, I won't say too much then. You should get some rest. I'll contact you in advance next time I visit your FT," Gu Heng replied.
After exchanging a few pleasantries Gu Heng hung up the call, tossed his phone on the bedside, and walked into the bathroom.
.....
Gu Heng peed for a full minute before finishing with a satisfying shiver.
...Looking down at his precious 'big treasure' that had been with him for over 20 years and had not enjoyed many sweet rewards, Gu Heng gave it a couple of comforting pats.
"Be good. The good days are here, and there will be plenty of seafood for you."
Then, after pulling up his pants, he began washing up in the cramped bathroom.
