The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 285 She was furious and cold-blooded; how dare she say I wasn't pretty enough?

A grand banquet at the Imperial Palace, in the private room of Lanting.

A dazzling crystal chandelier hangs high, illuminating the entire private room.

Since Wang Baoshan was hosting the gathering today, he sat in the main seat, while Gu Heng and Qian Zhengxing sat on his left and right sides.

Jiang Man, who had been successfully promoted to president of Jilin University Ninth Hospital at the beginning of the year, sat directly opposite Wang Baoshan. Next to her sat her daughter Sun Xian, who had returned from studying in the United States for the New Year. Sun Xian was two years older than Gu Heng and had a six-tenths resemblance to Jiang Man. She was beautiful and dressed fashionably.

"Um……"

"I see."

Five minutes ago, Sun Zhixing, the general manager of Zhenhai Banquet, suddenly knocked on the door and walked in from outside the private room. He then went straight to Gu Heng's side and whispered something.

The matter he reported to Gu Heng was exactly what had just happened to Luo Xiwen in the Xige private room. Deputy General Manager Zhou Shunan reported it to him immediately after leaving the Xige private room, and after learning about the situation, he immediately reported it to Gu Heng.

"Chairman Gu, please call me if you need anything."

After Sun Zhixing finished his report, he left the private room again.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Wang Baoshan had just seen Sun Zhixing whispering in Gu Heng's ear when he instinctively turned towards Qian Zhengxing and started chatting with him. Now that he saw Sun Zhixing leave, he turned back around.

"Small things."

Gu Heng smiled, completely ignoring what Sun Zhixing had just reported.

Given that Pan Xiaomei is a shameless clown, if Luo Xiwen, who has been by Gu Heng's side for so long, could still be bullied by her on his own turf, then Luo Xiwen would be far too stupid.

As it turns out, Losiwen did a great job.

Not only did it humiliate Pan Xiaomei's family, but it also caused them to suffer heavy losses.

"Eh?"

"Mr. Wang, does your company still have any villas available in Yu Cui Yuan?"

Gu Heng suddenly asked Wang Baoshan.

“There should be more.”

"I'll have my secretary check it now."

Wang Baoshan didn't know why Gu Heng suddenly brought this up. While taking out his phone, he asked Gu Heng, "Chairman Gu, do you still want to buy a villa?"

"I have this idea."

Gu Heng nodded slightly and answered frankly.

"Do you want a fully furnished or unfurnished apartment?"

Wang Baoshan directly inquired about the conditions, without asking Gu Heng why he wanted to buy a house again.

Wealthy men buy houses for only three purposes.

It's either for personal use, for investment, or to keep a mistress.

Currently, Gu Heng already owns a villa on the mountaintop as his primary residence, and its luxury status is basically the pinnacle of the entire Beichun area. Therefore, if Gu Heng wants to buy another villa, it certainly won't be for his own residence.

As for investment, that's even more impossible. The national real estate market is currently in a slump. Not to mention that Beichun real estate has no investment value to begin with, even if Gu Heng really wanted to invest in Beichun real estate, he should choose school district properties or properties in prime locations, rather than villas, which are the least likely to lose money.

Excluding the first two possibilities, naturally only the last one remains.

Gu Heng replied, "If I could have a villa with the same level of decoration as the one I live in now, then I would want it fully furnished; otherwise, I'd prefer a bare shell."

"Row."

"I'll ask you now."

I'll get back to you right away.

After Wang Baoshan finished speaking, he relayed Gu Heng's request to his secretary via WeChat and then instructed the secretary to get on it immediately, demonstrating his exceptional efficiency.

"Come."

"Chairman Gu, let's continue drinking." "I'll toast you again."

After putting down his phone, Wang Baoshan immediately picked up his wine glass.

"Mr. Wang, this is the fourth toast you've made to me tonight."

Gu Heng chuckled and teased, "Now I'm starting to suspect that you're using this as an excuse to deliberately get me drunk."

"no!"

"Absolutely not!"

Wang Baoshan raised his glass and clinked it against Gu Heng's: "I am truly grateful to Chairman Gu for trusting me and entrusting me with such a large project for Zhencui Group in the Changbai region."

Actually, Wang Baoshan had wanted to organize this gathering before the Lunar New Year, but Jiang Man, Qian Zhengxing, and Gu Heng were all very busy before the Lunar New Year, so the gathering was postponed until today.

The core reason why Wang Baoshan was so proactive in organizing the event was to express his gratitude to Gu Heng for entrusting him with the construction project of the Chinese herbal medicine planting base that Zhencui Group was preparing in the Changbai area.

It's important to know that the ultimate goal of this Chinese herbal medicine planting base is to reach a scale of tens of thousands of acres, with a total investment of over 300 million yuan. As the contractor for this project, Wang Baoshan can imagine how much profit he will make.

It may not be as good as real estate development in the past, but in this current winter for the civil engineering industry, with countless former civil engineering luminaries falling by the wayside in the past two years, Wang Baoshan is already quite satisfied to have such a good project with no delays or debts.

"It doesn't matter who you hand the project over to, it will be done the same way."

Gu Heng smiled and said, "President Wang has the ability and experience in this area, and we are also friends. It is only natural for us to help each other and benefit each other."

"Enough said, it's all in the drink."

Wang Baoshan picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Why did it dry again!"

"They really won't stop until they've got me completely drunk!"

Seeing this, Gu Heng shook his head and had no choice but to do it as well.

Not far away, Jiang Man's daughter, Sun Xian, watched Gu Heng with great interest.

"Don't have any thoughts you shouldn't have."

"Chairman Gu is outstanding and a very good person, but he is not suitable for you."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Although Sun Xian has been studying away from home for the past two years and has had little time to spend with Jiang Man, Jiang Man can still see through what Sun Xian is thinking at any moment.

"how?"

Sun Xian glanced at her mother and asked Jiang Man in return.

"because……"

Jiang Man was silent for three seconds: "You're not pretty enough. Even if you throw yourself at someone, you'll only be making a fool of yourself."

Sun Xian: "???"

Sun Xian: "!!!"

Chilling!
What did my mom say?
Am I not pretty enough?
The line of men chasing me could stretch all the way to Longjia Airport, and they actually say I'm not pretty enough?!
Looking at her daughter's wide eyes, Jiang Man silently added, "I'm not lying to you, and I'm not trying to belittle you. You really do fall short of Chairman Gu's criteria for selection."

"Mom!"

"You can use any reason to dissuade me, but this one condition is unacceptable!"

"Why am I not pretty enough!"

"Could it be that all of Mr. Gu's girlfriends are angels?"

Sun Xian was extremely resentful. In terms of beauty, she had never been the most beautiful among the people around her since she was a child, and this remained true even after she went to the United States.

Just then, the knocking on the door of the private room sounded again.

As the door to the private room was pushed open, Jiang Man turned around and, upon seeing who it was, said to her daughter, "Here, see for yourself..."
