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

Furthermore, even if He Jing hadn’t pulled that stunt, when I found out, I would’ve stood up for Lin Jiayun regardless.

Hearing Gu Heng’s words, Lin Jiayun’s heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. He Jing heaved a sigh of relief when she realized Gu Heng wasn’t angry, but her gaze couldn’t help but linger enviously on the couple huddled close together, as another hit battered her inner limits, nearly breaking through...

And when the others in the office heard Gu Heng say "watching someone bully you," their expressions changed instantly.

Especially Gu Heng’s former boss, Zhang Yang, who couldn’t help the tremor in his heart.

Even the company’s longstanding employees were aware of Gu Heng’s current status and position, and of course, he knew as well.

He just didn’t realize the nature of the relationship between Lin Jiayun and Gu Heng, after all, Lin Jiayun hadn’t had contact with Gu Heng for several months, and he never publicized it either.

Had he known Lin Jiayun was Gu Heng’s girlfriend, he certainly would have resolved the issue in a softer way, rather than showing no mercy as he was doing now, directly threatening Lin Jiayun with the contract matter.

But what’s done is done, there’s no use in regretting, plus he hadn’t pulled any unwritten rules, he had acted strictly according to the contract. Could Gu Heng be bigger than the law, no matter how impressive he could be?

But the face that was owed had to be given, so he immediately said with a smile, "Mr. Gu, it’s been a long time. Why didn’t you inform me before coming back to the company? I would have prepared in advance.

Please, have a seat."

A thick smile appeared on Zhang Yang’s glasses-wearing face, not exactly flattering, but somewhat humble.

Gu Heng couldn’t help feeling some emotion looking at his expression, thinking how things had changed. When he left this place a while ago, this guy didn’t even have the heart to look him in the eye.

But Gu Heng wasn’t interested in settling old scores. He sat down next to Lin Jiayun, then pointed to the others and asked, "Director Zhang, who are these people?"

"Oh, oh.

I forgot to introduce them. These are the leaders from the investment department of Wuyou Media."

"This is Mr. Gu, CEO of IDE Capital. You all are in the investment field; you should be familiar with Mr. Gu."

After Zhang Yang’s introduction, the senior executives from Wuyou Media quickly stood up and greeted Gu Heng, "Hello Mr. Gu, I am..."

IDE Capital had been making a name for itself recently; there were hardly any in the domestic investment industry who didn’t know of this company, especially after its first investment case was the massive 3 billion investment in Yangcheng International Race Track, something an ordinary investment firm couldn’t achieve, could it?

Even Principal Wang’s Pusi Capital, which had been hyped for so many years, did not have a total investment that high...

Even their company, Wuyou Media, one of Hua Country’s top ten MCN institutions, couldn’t match a single hair of IDE’s. Although Wuyou Media had high visibility, its valuation was only 1.9 billion, and that was an inflated figure, to actually have a valuation of 1.5 billion would be impressive.

Faced with such a major capital owner, how could they not treat him earnestly?

By the time one reaches Gu Heng’s position, even if they didn’t recognize him, they would have definitely heard of him.

They had eliminated any possibility of playing dumb to show off, fortunately, Gu Heng did not indulge in such lowbrow vulgarity. Without even listening to their complete introductions, he impatiently waved a hand, "No need for introductions, I’m not very interested in you."

"Uh..." @@novelbin@@

Their introductions cut off, they were all a little embarrassed, and a wave of anger built up inside.

But aside from bearing it, they really had no other choice but to smile awkwardly at Gu Heng.

Of course, Gu Heng knew his behavior was disrespectful and demeaning, but that’s just what he did, and concerns about offending people were not within his consideration. Even if he did offend, it didn’t matter.

"I heard that Wuyou Media plans to acquire Galaxy Media?"

Hearing Gu Heng’s voice rise again, the leading person from Wuyou Media replied, "Yes, we’re now at the final step, just need to sort out some minor issues before we can sign officially."

Gu Heng nodded slightly, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it up while speaking indistinctly, "I think Wuyou won’t be able to acquire Galaxy Media any longer."

He Jing: "???"

Lin Jiayun: "???"

Zhang Yang: "???"

The people from Wuyou Media: "???"

A line of question marks appeared involuntarily in everyone’s heads.

Especially for Lin Jiayun, after a brief confusion, her eyes almost beamed with excitement...

She certainly knew that Gu Heng was standing up for her, but she hadn’t expected him to be so blunt and straightforward, tackling the problem at its root, telling the people from Wuyou Media that their acquisition was a no-go...

So domineering, really too cool...

But the people from Wuyou Media and Zhang Yang, after a brief moment of shock, could barely disguise their discomfort.

Everyone had the same thought,

Sure, Gu Heng is rich, but he’s not a government executive; could he really obstruct their normal business operations?

But this was Galaxy Media, Zhang Yang’s home turf, so the few in charge of the acquisition from Wuyou Media looked to Zhang Yang for an explanation.

At this point, Zhang Yang couldn’t help it.

He did have some conflict with Gu Heng, but it’s not like he had treated him unfairly, right? He didn’t owe Gu Heng a penny when he resigned, and as for exploiting him for over two years, that was simply because Gu Heng lacked sufficient qualifications, giving him the chance to be exploited...

That’s how all bosses operated; he didn’t think he was wrong.

Then with a slightly colder tone, he began, "Mr. Gu, I know you’re a different man now, and I’ve given you respect.
