The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 227 Enjoy the Moment When You're Young and Successful (4k)

As night fell, heavy snowflakes drifted through the streets and alleys with the north wind, turning the entire city into a vast expanse of white, interwoven into a chaotic net in the air.

However, even with howling winds and heavy snow, it couldn't dampen people's joy and excitement at the approaching New Year. Brilliant fireworks would occasionally burst into the sky above the city, adding to the festive atmosphere of New Year's Eve.

Both sides of Guilin Road are packed with bars and nightclubs tonight.

Countless young men and women came and went, and some even used the snow to start a snowball fight.

Amidst the laughter and cheers, two imposing black Hongqi Guoyao cars, braving the wind and snow, slowly emerged from the street corner, protecting a pure white Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The crisp sound of tires crushing the snow pierced the night sky, and the headlights at the front of the Hongqi Guoyao cars left two blurry red streaks in the snow curtain, which were quickly filled in by the newly fallen snow.

Three luxury cars moved slowly forward, attracting the attention of many young men and women on both sides of the street, who secretly wondered who was sitting in the Rolls-Royce Cullinan in the center.

At this moment, in front of the Soundwave store.

Store manager Liang Chengyu, dressed in a relatively thin black suit, suddenly felt a surge of energy as he watched the three cars slowly approaching from afar.

"Hurry up!"

"Chairman Gu is here!"

"Get yourselves together, everyone!"

Liang Chengyu was shivering from the cold, but when he saw Gu Heng's car, he stopped shivering instantly and became extremely excited, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, three cars that had turned out from the street corner finally stopped in front of the main entrance of Shenglang.

The two Hongqi Guoyao cars opened their doors first, and a group of professional bodyguards wearing black stand-up collar cashmere coats stepped out of the cars and quickly took their positions to stand guard.

The passenger door of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan opened immediately, and Xiang Ling Shuang, looking dashing and confident, stepped out, turned around and opened the rear door with a respectful expression.

Such a scene left everyone, from Liang Chengyu and his fellow employees at Shenglang to the young men and women strolling and playing on the roadside, completely dumbfounded.

As his expensive leather shoes stepped out of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan onto the snow, Gu Heng, dressed in a black bespoke suit, quickly stepped out of the car.

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he had a dignified appearance.

The falling snowflakes reflected his tall and slender figure, making him look like a handsome young nobleman from a comic book who had stepped into reality.

"Chairman Gu!"

"Happy New Year!"

The moment Gu Heng appeared, Liang Chengyu, the store manager standing at the front, and all the store management personnel on both sides immediately bowed at a 90-degree angle.

The loud voice lingered in the air above the street for a long time.

Many young girls who saw this scene had their eyes sparkling.

"lead the way."

"K65 card station".

Faced with the respectful greetings from Liang Chengyu and the others, Gu Heng merely nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then uttered a few words indifferently.

"Chairman Gu, please come in..."

Liang Chengyu didn't know why Gu Heng suddenly wanted to go to the K65 checkpoint, but he didn't hesitate at all and walked directly in front of Gu Heng, acting as his guide.

Behind Gu Heng were Zhong Hua and Xiang Ling Shuang on his left and right sides, followed by four professional bodyguards from Zhaode Heritage Security Department. As for the store managers who had just lined the street to welcome Gu Heng, they could only respectfully watch Gu Heng walk past them, and did not even have the right to follow him.

After a mere dozen or so steps, Gu Heng and the others quickly entered the Shenglang store.

"Chairman Gu!"

"Happy New Year!"

Outside the main area, from the gate to the path leading to the inner area, there were also twenty security personnel standing there. The moment they saw Gu Heng, they all bowed in greeting.

In this situation, Gu Heng, who was already excited by the alcohol, suddenly understood why some people say that the greatest fortune in life is to be successful in one's youth.

At the recently concluded dinner for entrepreneurs in Jilin Province, Gu Heng stood at the very front of the banquet hall, chatting and laughing with high-ranking officials and exchanging toasts with the richest man in Jilin Province.

What does that feel like?
I will climb to the very top and look down on all the mountains below!

Now, he has returned to his home turf.

Wherever he went, people bowed and scraped.

Everywhere I looked, there were fawning smiles and sycophantic grins.

This feeling is something that cannot be fully described by the single word "爽" (shuang, meaning "awesome" or "refreshing").

Gu Heng, who had drunk a lot of baijiu at the dinner for entrepreneurs in Jilin Province, had not felt the slightest bit cold despite the wind and snow, but now that he was in the sound waves, he quickly felt a bit hot.

So he took off his suit jacket and handed it to Xiang Ling Shuang behind him. Underneath his black suit was a navy blue business shirt and a slightly retro-style vest.

This outfit immediately showed off Gu Heng's excellent figure.

He strode forward and entered the inner area in the blink of an eye.

……

"If you are everything~"

"If I were absolutely..."

"If being lucid is a sin~"

Let love spread and fulfill every night~

At this moment, the second round of performances of the day was taking place in the inner field. The song being sung by the singer on stage was Accusefive's "Take Me to Find Nightlife." This song was already very suitable for music festivals and live stages, and with today being New Year's Eve, the atmosphere of the entire venue became even more enthusiastic and high-spirited.

In the corner, Xu Mo held the glass of pineapple juice that had already been drunk to the bottom. Her two best friends were already having a great time, but she just couldn't feel happy.

As she watched the time tick by, she thought about calling or texting Gu Heng, but worried that it would interfere with his social engagements, so she could only sit there silently and wait.

'elder brother……'

When are you finally coming...?

'Momo really misses you.'

Xu Mo pursed her lips slightly, her clear eyes showing a hint of melancholy.

Shi Yiyang, who had suffered repeated defeats in his fierce attacks, was so angry at Xu Mo's expression that he almost ground his teeth to powder. He really couldn't understand what was so good about that scumbag who dropped out of junior high school that he could bewitch such a pure and beautiful girl like this.

Oh shit!

You'd better be even more handsome than Daniel Wu!
Just as everyone was filled with different emotions, a slight commotion suddenly arose in the distance.

Suddenly, a large number of security personnel wearing reflective vests with the sound wave logo emerged from the inner entrance. They split into pairs on both sides of the already narrow inner path, then spread their arms to form a human wall, keeping all unauthorized personnel out.

Such a commotion immediately attracted the curious gazes of many guests, including Xu Mo and her group at their table.

"What kind of distinguished guest could garner such attention from a nationwide chain?"

Upon seeing this, Luo Zixuan immediately guessed that there must be a distinguished guest present. He couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and look towards the entrance of the inner venue.

Not only were the guests at the individual tables and booths curious, but even the guests sitting in the four sofa booths in the center of the venue turned around to look behind them.

Amidst everyone's attention, a tall and slender figure appeared in their sight.

"elder brother!"

The moment Gu Heng appeared, Xu Mo jumped off the bar stool. Her previous dejected expression vanished instantly, and her clear, bright eyes were filled with excitement and joy.

"Momo..."

"Could he be the older brother you mentioned?"

Hu Xiaoxuan and Deng Sixin stared at Xu Mo in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Mo nodded quickly.

At this moment, her eyes were only on Gu Heng. From the entrance to the table where Xu Mo was, it was only a few dozen meters, but with Gu Heng's powerful strides, he arrived in front of Xu Mo in the blink of an eye.

Today, Xu Mo wore a French apricot-colored lace mini skirt under her down jacket, revealing her slender arms and long, beautiful legs. She wore white sneakers and lace socks, and her pure face was lightly made up. Her petite figure looked like a delicate little figurine, and she exuded a youthful and clean aura.

"Feel sorry."

"Sorry for the waitting."

Gu Heng raised his hand and gently rubbed Xu Mo's head, his voice filled with indescribable tenderness.

"it does not matter."

"I'm willing to wait as late as I can to wait for you."

Xu Mo could feel the love in Gu Heng's eyes, and her heart felt as if it were filled with maple syrup.

"Are these all your friends?"

Gu Heng casually swept his gaze over Hu Xiaoxuan and the others. Although his gaze was gentle and friendly, it still made Hu Xiaoxuan and the others feel immense pressure.

As for Shi Yiyang, who had just been thinking of exposing Gu Heng's true colors, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly when he felt the invisible and profound majesty emanating from Gu Heng.

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Mo nodded vigorously.

"Since they're all your friends, let's all go together later."

Gu Heng smiled at Xu Mo, then bent down and lowered his right arm, lifting Xu Mo up in one arm, making it seem as if she were sitting on his arm: "It's too crowded here, let's find another place."

"Brother, put me down."

"I can walk there by myself."

Gu Heng was already the center of attention, and now that she was being held in his arms like this, although she felt very sweet inside, she was extremely shy, being very thin-skinned to begin with.

"No~"

"It's my fault for being so late!"

Gu Heng smiled faintly: "From now on, we'll never be apart."

As he spoke, Gu Heng began to walk towards the central area.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gu cordially invites you to celebrate the New Year together in booth S1. Please come this way..."

No sooner had Gu Heng left with Xu Mo in his arms than the store's deputy manager stepped forward and respectfully invited Hu Xiaoxuan and the others to join him.

"Ok."

"Let's go."

Hu Xiaoxuan and Deng Sixin were completely confused. They never expected that Xu Mo's brother, whom she often talked about, was actually of such high status and was also so handsome and stylish.

Gu Heng's one-armed hug just now almost made them faint.

Hu Xiaoxuan and Deng Sixin followed closely behind, while Luo Zixuan, who was a little slower, went to his good friend Shi Yiyang's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, you have no reason to lose."

"We are not from the same world at all."

Luo Zixuan watched Gu Heng and the others disappear into the distance: "So, what do you say? Do you want to go or stay?"

"If you want to go, then let's go with you."

"Want to stay? I'll keep you company, bro."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yiyang was somewhat touched, but on the surface he pursed his lips and said, "You're staying here with me, do you think Hu Xiaoxuan will let you?"

"cut!"

"Am I afraid of her?"

"Do you understand the concept of a family imperial throne?"

Luo Zixuan snorted twice: "If you throw a tantrum, at most your father will have to work a little harder tonight. With your father's strength, it's a piece of cake, isn't it?"

"Eh eh eh..."

"Stop bragging!"

"Since they've invited us, let's just go."

Shi Yiyang shrugged: "My buddy can take it or leave it, and he really didn't lose unjustly. If Xu Mo has a boyfriend like that and still falls for me, then she's not just blind, she's mentally unstable."

The two chatted and laughed, and soon followed after them.

……

Gu Heng carried Xu Mo toward the center of the scene, surrounded by a large retinue.

He was the center of attention from beginning to end.

The crowd tonight was already filled with young men and women, and all the girls looked at Xu Mo with deep envy.

"The young, domineering CEO is holding his beautiful wife with one arm – the scene is absolutely stunning!"

"Who is this handsome guy? How come he's surrounded by so many people!"

"I was so imposing! He just glanced at me casually, and I didn't even dare to meet his gaze!"

"Help! God, can't you give me a boyfriend like this too?!"

"Sometimes I really want to slap myself. Why can't I control my mouth? Look how petite and slender she is. If I were given a young, domineering CEO like her, he probably wouldn't even be able to lift me up with both of his arms!"

……

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Xia Siyao, sitting in booth S2, stared wide-eyed at Gu Heng, who was being surrounded by people walking towards them.

"what happened?"

"Yaoyao, do you know him?"

Lu Zi'ang noticed that Xia Siyao's expression was strange, so he asked her.

"he……"

"It's the major client I've been serving recently, the one I told you about."

Upon seeing Gu Heng, Xia Siyao quickly took out a small mirror from her bag and, while tidying her hair, responded to Lü Ziang.

Ok?
A major client?!

Lu Ziang was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Gu Heng, who was walking in their direction.

Oh shit!

He said the other person's figure looked familiar!
Isn't this the man who went in and out of the hotel with Xia Siyao that night?

The other party is that scumbag who wanted to call and verbally abuse him!
In an instant, Lü Zi'ang was consumed by rage.

"Are you going to go and offer a toast later?"

Lu Zi'ang suppressed his anger and, barely managing to maintain a calm tone, asked Xia Siyao.

"That's for sure."

Xia Siyao replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "He's a super big client that even my dad treats with utmost respect. We met here and are sitting so close together, how could I not offer him a toast?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Zi'ang's barely maintained smile finally crumbled, and his expression instantly darkened...
