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

It was a little past seven in the evening...

Under the nighttime veil, Qing'an, although not as bustling as Hang City, still had its unique charm exclusive to small towns.

Following the GPS, we directly arrived at the long-famed Underground Palace Business KTV in Qing'an...

Watching the continuous flow of vehicles entering, Li Feng, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, I just took a glance, and the least expensive cars coming here are Cadillacs. I didn't see anything under 200,000."

Li Haibin said, "Isn't that obvious? Only those who aren't short of money would come here to spend.

"If you drive a Chevrolet Malibu or Mazda here, and splurge inside, if the hostess agrees to go out with you, but then sees your crappy car, she'd probably find an excuse about forgetting to check if the stove was off at home..."

"How come you know so well? Have you been played by a hostess?"

Li Haibin was honest, not hiding anything, "It's not about being accompanied by a hostess; everything at a Business K's night scene is too high-end. Just casually having fun starts from a few thousand, and I can't afford it. Once in Dongguang, I met a foot-washing girl online and went to her workplace to spend some money.

298 yuan for an hour, and I generously gave her five hours, thinking I might get to hang out with her later."

"But as soon as she came down with me, she saw my Haval H6 and told me she needed to go back to get something. I naively believed her, waited in the car for half an hour, sent a WeChat message, only to find out she had blocked me... Damn, over a thousand bucks down the drain..."

"So you probably weren't despised for the car's low standard; you were treated like a pig ready for slaughter..."

"No, that's not it! I can't make it clear to you all, but later I managed to contact her again, and she quite frankly told me that by washing people's feet for a few months, she could pay in full for a Haval H6, and asked why I thought driving that junk could entice her..."

Listening to Li Haibin's embarrassing confessions, everyone burst into laughter...

Though the story sounded ridiculous, it actually made sense...

It's an era where mocking the poor, not the prostituted, prevails...

Even a foot-washing girl now feels entitled to disdain the impoverished...

.....

After waiting for several minutes with no more cars in line, Gu Heng slowly drove up to the entrance of the Underground Palace...

Gu Heng understood the congestion all too well...

Business Ks and nightclubs, places like these are definitely lively in big cities during regular times, but around the Spring Festival, although not deserted, they are surely less crowded than before...

The reason is simple; the regular big bosses all went home...

At this time, Business Ks and nightclubs in small towns start bustling.

So every New Year, many hostesses who previously accompanied drinks in big cities catch wind and flock to smaller towns, serving wherever there's market demand...

Gently parking the car by the entrance of the Business K, Gu Heng took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to each person, leisurely lighting up.

"Come on, Hengzi, find a spot to park and let's head in. Why block their entrance?"

Gu Heng glanced at him and said lightly, "Watch closely, learn well."

Li Feng: "???"

Li Haibin: "???"

Song Hua: "???"

Seeing Gu Heng's pretentious look, the three were utterly confused...

Teach us what, for God's sake?

However, within seconds, someone came to give them the answer...

A man dressed in a suit, followed by several attendants, hurried over from inside.

"Good evening, sirs, are you here to enjoy yourselves?"

Gu Heng nodded, then turned back giving a knowing look to Li Feng and the others as he stepped out of the car first.

Once outside, Gu Heng lazily stretched, then casually asked the man in the suit, "Are there any private rooms available now?"

"Yes, of course, for four gentlemen?"

"Yes, find us a big one; the bigger, the better."

"Certainly, we'll arrange that right away."

Hearing Gu Heng's request, the man in the suit knew they had a high-spender, and his attitude became even more respectful.

Upon confirmation, Gu Heng nodded again, then casually tossed his car keys to the man, who quickly caught them.

"Find a parking spot for me; I'll wait in the lobby."

"Certainly, sir, just give me a moment to find you a parking space."

Being able to wear a suit to work, the man was probably a manager, but he didn't feel insulted being treated as a valet by Gu Heng; rather his respectfulness deepened, catching Li Feng, Li Haibin, and Song Hua off guard...

Is this guy really that meek?

Turning back, seeing their startled faces, Gu Heng chuckled.

You really thought the multi-million dollar Bentley was just for a comfortable ride?

If it didn't have this kind of clout, why would so many people spend money on luxury cars? Couldn't they just drive a Mazda? They all have four wheels. How much worse could the experience be?

He snapped his fingers at the trio, "What are you dazed for? Let's go!"

With that, Gu Heng led the way into the Underground Palace Business K.

"Is this what you wanted us to learn?"

Hearing Li Feng's question, Gu Heng shrugged and replied, "What else?"

"You want us to learn how to show off?"

Gu Heng chuckled and slapped him on the shoulder, saying, "Too small-minded! It's not just about showing off. I want to show you that the more upscale the place, the more you can ask for seemingly unreasonable demands without worrying about being turned down.

Because when you have money, you are God, and God is born to enjoy."
