The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 261 The Festive Atmosphere Grows Stronger (3k)

Wang Wanning carried a bowl of hangover soup in her hand and walked slowly toward the room.

As the distance drew closer, the initially faint sound gradually became clearer.

The high-frequency, steady banging on the door was mixed with Feng Yao's melodious, warbling voice, which she tried her best to suppress but could not at all suppress. Feng Yao was originally an art student majoring in vocal music, and her voice was extremely excellent. Her voice was truly enchanting and charming.

Before she knew it, Wang Wanning was already standing at the door of the Park Hyatt suite where Feng Yao was. At such close range, even if the wooden door of the Park Hyatt suite had the best sound insulation, it was impossible to reduce the sound by much.

Just a door away, the voice was exactly the same as if Wang Wanning were there.

Wang Wanning didn't know Feng Yao and had never met her before, but based on a woman's intuition, she was certain that Feng Yao had an extraordinary relationship with Gu Heng.

Because the moment the other person saw Gu Heng, the expression that subconsciously appeared was clearly the kind of expression that only appears between a man and a woman.

There was joy, there was sorrow, there was grievance, there was forbearance, there was bitterness...

Now, Gu Heng has "disappeared" from the suite, but such a sound can be heard from the suite where the woman is.

Who is that man?

The answer is self-evident.

"No wonder Brother Gu Heng suddenly accepted all the local specialty wines last night."

Wang Wanning murmured to herself, "No wonder Brother Gu Heng didn't knock on my door last night."

Although the man she admired was having an affair with another woman, she remained remarkably calm. Having grown up in a wealthy family, she was used to such situations.

At this moment, Wang Wanning is pondering a question.

So, even though she had already given Gu Heng a signal, why didn't Gu Heng choose to knock on her door, but instead chose the girl who was only one door away from her?

Is the other person prettier than her?

The other person has a better figure than her?
Is the other person younger than her?
neither.

Wang Wanning is confident, but she is never arrogant.

Just like Jiang Ruan, whom Gu Heng brought to Zhonghai last time, Wang Wanning could only say that she had an advantage in age, but she dared not say that she could surpass her in terms of looks and figure. However, the girl she met today was far inferior to her in every way.

So why did Gu Heng choose the other person instead of her?

Despite the melodious warbling of a nightingale right beside her, Wang Wanning inexplicably remained remarkably calm.

“Brother Gu Heng…”

"He was wary of me."

“He was worried that if he crossed the line with me, it would cause unnecessary trouble with the Wang family.”

Wang Wanning was very smart; she quickly found the root of the problem.

The dull banging on the door grew faster and faster, and the melodious chirping of the nightingale grew louder and louder. Wang Wanning looked at the hangover soup she had made herself, stood silently for a moment, then turned and slowly left the door of the Park Hyatt suite.

……

Over the next few days, Gu Heng spent his days skiing with Wang Wanning and his evenings "collecting debts" from Feng Yao, leading a very comfortable and carefree life.

With the top-notch talent in skiing bestowed upon him by his father, Gu Heng's skiing skills have improved rapidly. Although it is a pipe dream to catch up with Wang Wan Ning's more than ten years of hard work in just a few days, the gap between the two is visibly narrowing.

As for the Zhencui Group's investment project to establish a 10,000-mu (approximately 667 hectares) Chinese herbal medicine planting base in the Changbai area, after several days of discussions and exchanges between leaders such as Gu Heng and Huang Zhongliang, the two parties officially signed the investment agreement the day before Gu Heng decided to leave the Changbai Mountain International Resort.

Because Wang Wanning planned to stay in Beichun for two more days before leaving, Gu Heng still rode with Wang Wanning back to Beichun in the same Rosler Bay Stream van when he left Changbai Mountain International Resort.

After working day and night, Feng Yao, whose body and mind had completely transformed into Gu Heng's shape, was driven directly to the airport by Gu Heng and her best friend, who also bought business class tickets for them in advance.

As the end of the month approaches and the Lunar New Year draws ever closer, the city is gradually filled with the festive atmosphere, and many fireworks and firecracker stalls with the necessary licenses to sell fireworks and firecrackers are starting to appear on the streets and alleys.

"Brother Gu Heng, is it forbidden to use fireworks and firecrackers during the New Year in Beichun?"

Wang Wanning looked at the roadside stalls selling fireworks and firecrackers, a hint of surprise showing on her beautiful and delicate face.

"It can't be banned."

“Our place is especially lively every Spring Festival.”

"Fireworks are going off almost non-stop from morning till night."

Gu Heng, who was reading, snapped out of his reverie and responded with a smile.

"That was really lively."

"Unlike our Zhonghai, the Spring Festival is quiet and deserted."

Wang Wanning exclaimed sincerely, "It's not even as lively as usual, let alone the beautiful fireworks and firecrackers."

"From now on, whenever you come to Beichun for the Spring Festival, I'll take you to set off fireworks every day."

Gu Heng continued reading with his head down, while casually responding to Wang Wanning.

Upon hearing this, a glint of surprise flashed in Wang Wanning's beautiful eyes.

"May I?"

She blinked and asked in a low voice.

"of course."

Gu Heng paused for a moment, then laughed nonchalantly, "As long as Chairman Wang and Aunt Su agree, that's fine."

The Spring Festival, which Gu Heng used to love most when he was young, has somehow become his least favorite holiday.

Was it the year your parents divorced?
Was it the year his father abandoned him?

Gu Heng only knew that during his three years in Beichun, he would finish his meal early every Spring Festival, prepare enough alcohol to get himself drunk, play games while drinking, and then fall asleep as soon as he got drunk.

I won't watch the Spring Festival Gala, and I won't send New Year's greetings to anyone.

Just treat this day as any other ordinary day in your life.

Will I continue living like this this year?
Gu Heng gazed out the car window at the increasingly strong festive atmosphere, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes. Despite the many people surrounding him now, he knew what would happen when that day came.

Jiang Ruan, Luo Xiwen, Xu Mo, and others are all going home for the Chinese New Year.

of course……

If Gu Heng were to offer them a place to stay, they would most likely not refuse. However, Gu Heng felt that it was pointless to exchange his own comfort for the happiness and reunion of other people's families.

"It's probably not going to work out this year, but I'll try my best next year!"

Wang Wanning clenched her small pink fist, her expression inexplicably cute.

"it is good."

Gu Heng smiled slightly: "Then I'll be waiting for your good news next year."

The two chatted and laughed as their Lorinser Gulfstream soon arrived at the North Spring Grand Hotel.

The electric door slowly opened, and Gu Heng and Wang Wanning stepped out of the van one after the other.

"Good afternoon, Chairman Gu."

"You must be tired from your long journey."

As soon as Gu Heng stepped out of the van, Dong Qiming, the general manager of Beichun Junlan Hotel, immediately came to greet him.

"is acceptable."

"A four-hour drive can pass by while reading a book."

Gu Heng nodded to Dong Qiming, then asked, "Have you arranged everything I asked you to?"

"Chairman Gu, everything you instructed has been arranged."

Dong Qiming immediately responded: "Based on Ms. Wang's living preferences as you sent us, we have adjusted and improved our hotel's best panoramic executive suite. If Ms. Wang has any further needs, we will make further adjustments as needed."

"it is good."

Gu Heng nodded slightly, then turned to look at Wang Wanning. Seeing her slightly surprised expression, he smiled and said, "As you can see, this is the hotel I mentioned to you some time ago, the one I run."

Five stars!

"Luxury hotel!"

Wang Wanning said with some surprise, "Brother Gu Heng, when I heard your nonchalant tone, I thought that the hotel you run might not be very big!"

"It's okay."

"This hotel is independently operated and is not one of those chain five-star luxury hotels. In terms of scale alone, it is indeed not very large in the hotel industry."

Gu Heng returned to his home turf and was naturally treated like royalty. He led Wang Wan Ning towards the private elevator, casually responding to her exclamations of surprise.

“Why isn’t it big!”

"It's already very big!"

Wang Wanning retorted earnestly, "Brother Gu Heng, your one hotel alone is enough to rival hundreds of hotels from those budget chain brands!"

"Ok."

"If you say it's big, then it's big."

Gu Heng smiled, led Wang Wan Ning into the elevator, and then pressed the button for the 27th floor.

The elevator ascended rapidly, taking them to the 27th floor of the hotel in just over ten seconds.

Dong Qiming walked in front, personally leading the way.

"I promised you I would prepare a private suite for you."

Gu Heng walked into the building: "This private suite has been prepared for you. From now on, this suite will only be open to you. You can come and stay anytime. You can treat this place as your home in Beichun."

When Wang Wanning heard Gu Heng say that, her eyes became even more moist.

She never expected that her casual remark that day would be treated so seriously by Gu Heng. Although it was just a small favor for Gu Heng, it still warmed her heart.

"Brother Gu Heng, I will come to Beichun often in the future."

Wang Wanning said softly, "I will never let you down."

"You are welcome anytime."

As they talked, guided by Dong Qiming, they soon arrived at the private suite that Gu Heng had prepared for Wang Wanning.

Compared to other standardized panoramic executive suites, this panoramic executive suite was custom-designed to suit Wang Wanning's living habits, making it feel very homey and adding a lot of warmth.

"Like it?"

"Do you feel comfortable living here?"

Gu Heng followed Wang Wanning inside for a look around.

"Uh-huh!"

“I love it!”

"The scenery is amazing!"

Wang Wanning nodded repeatedly, her words full of praise.

"nice! You love it."

"Then please tidy up a bit."

"Let's eat first, and then I'll show you around Beichun."

After speaking to Wang Wanning, Gu Heng led Dong Qiming out of Wang Wanning's private suite. Then, adhering to the principle of "since we're already here," he held a small meeting with the senior management of the Beichun Junlan Hotel to handle the backlog of recent matters before leaving the hotel with Wang Wanning...
