The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 314 Women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers (5k)

After a long while, Loshman put down the two trust documents in his hand.

"finish watching?"

Gu Heng placed the cigar on the cigar jar and asked softly.

"finish watching."

Luo Xiwen nodded, a hint of shock still lingering on her dignified and beautiful face.

"Then sign it."

"After you sign, someone from the trust company will contact you tomorrow."

Gu Heng gestured to Luo Xiwen and said, "The headquarters of the Nirvana Bloom Trust is in Singapore. You may have to fly there in a couple of days. These two trust documents are just the beginning. There will be many more documents that you will need to sign in person in Singapore."

“Gu Heng, you…”

Faced with the "protection" Gu Heng offered her, Luo Xiwen wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know what to say.

"I've said before that I can give you anything except marriage."

"You deserve this, and this is just the beginning. I will treat you even better in the future. I want to make you the envy of all women in the world."

Gu Heng raised his hand and gently grasped Luo Xiwen's hand, his eyes filled with sincerity, and his voice was filled with indescribable tenderness and affection.

"Three million US dollars a year, that's way too much money."

Luo Xiwen was deeply moved and said softly, "Based on my daily spending habits, I wouldn't even be able to spend a fraction of the trust income each year."

If you can't spend it all, save it.

Gu Heng smiled and said, "[Nirvana Bloom Trust] has many stable investment channels, with a basic annualized return of around 10%. Alternatively, you can invest in real estate, precious metals, or art globally through the trust's internal channels. For more details, please visit our headquarters in Singapore."

At this point, Gu Heng paused slightly.

"Xiwen, I won't hide it from you."

His expression turned slightly serious: "The trust beneficiary agreement you have now is shared by Jiang Ruan and Xu Mo, but in their separate accounts at the Nirvana Bloom Trust, each of them only has 5000 million in trust assets, which is only a quarter of yours. Do you know why?"

Luo Xiwen's expression shifted slightly, and he shook his head to indicate that he did not know.

"Because your score was higher than theirs in the internal review of the trust, your trust assets in your separate account are much higher than those of Jiang Ruan and Xu Mo."

Gu Heng explained to Luo Xiwen the rating system for family members in the "Family" function, but in a different way.

"score?"

Luo Xiwen looked slightly puzzled.

"Yes."

Gu Heng nodded slightly: "Xiwen, I can tell you the truth. Although I am the chairman of the Nirvana Bloom Trust committee, the Nirvana Bloom Trust has its own independent operating charter. Even as the chairman, I still have no right to interfere with the normal operation of the entire trust."

“I have the right to list you as a beneficiary of the trust, but I do not have the right to decide how much trust assets to give you. If you want to obtain more trust assets from the trust and accumulate more wealth for you and my children, you need to work hard to improve yourself and thus obtain a higher score in the trust’s internal review.”

Gu Heng's words were half true and half false.

The trust beneficiary agreement that Luo Xiwen was holding had already been signed by Jiang Ruan and Xu Mo, but Gu Heng had not told Jiang Ruan and Xu Mo what he had just said to Luo Xiwen.

Because Luo Xiwen has now clearly defined her own correct direction for growth, Gu Heng only needs to give her a little push, and Luo Xiwen can achieve self-growth. As for Jiang Ruan and Xu Mo, they are still completely unaware of what they want and are in the process of exploring their lives.

Under these circumstances, if Gu Heng were to tell them what she had said to Luo Xiwen today, it would only be counterproductive, making them restless and uneasy. That's why Gu Heng chose to keep it a secret for the time being.

"Internal review standards for trusts..."

"What is it?"

Originally, Loshvin did not have a particularly strong desire to acquire more trust assets, because in her view, the $300 million in trust income per year was more than enough for her to spend every year.

But after hearing Gu Heng say, "To accumulate more wealth for you and my child," her mindset suddenly changed.

Women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers.

Loshi was originally a rather traditional girl, and she always loved those adorable human babies and longed to have a baby of her own with the one she loved.

If it were just for herself, she would be easily satisfied.

She has now achieved the upward mobility she once longed for, and now she has everything she wants and no longer needs to worry about making a living.

But if it's for the sake of building a family fortune for their children, then the situation is completely different.

Most mothers never just want to give their children the most, but always want to give them more, because maternal love is boundless, and they all want to provide their children with a better life within their means.

The same applies to Roshwin.

"The internal assessment criteria of a trust are very multi-dimensional. Your education, your career, your achievements, your resources, your network, and many other aspects can all become bonus points in the trust's internal scoring criteria."

Gu Heng looked at Luo Xiwen's eyes, which had quietly brightened, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "In general, as long as you become more outstanding, your internal rating within the trust will continue to improve, thereby obtaining more trust assets."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiwen seemed to be deep in thought.

"To give a simple example, if you can continue your studies in finance and upgrade your current undergraduate degree to a master's degree or even a doctoral degree, your score within the trust will inevitably rise significantly."

"Compared to decades ago, although the emphasis on academic qualifications is somewhat outdated, in many social situations around the world, having a very high level of education will still be a great social asset."

Taking this opportunity, Gu Heng offered Luo Xiwen some suggestions: "For example, you could try becoming an angel investor using your financial knowledge and professional insight. If you can achieve success in this area, it can still improve your rating within the trust..."

From academic advancement to career development, Gu Heng, backed by the Zhaode Heritage Think Tank, offered Luo Xiwen numerous possibilities, all centered around the fundamental point of finance.

Gu Heng had only recently unlocked the [Family] function, and everything was still in the exploratory stage. His current approach of guiding Luo Xiwen to develop was essentially a trial-and-error process, hoping to gain some experience from Luo Xiwen.

Luo Xiwen listened to Gu Heng's detailed explanation, his expression thoughtful.

"Xiwen, would you like to know, after your score improves in the internal review of the trust, what scale will your trust assets grow to in the next stage?"

Gu Heng suddenly changed the subject and asked Luo Xiwen in this way.

"How many?"

Loshvin's interest was indeed piqued.

"Including your existing trust assets, your total trust assets will then climb to $1 million, and your annual trust income will increase from the current $300 million to $1000 million per year."

Gu Heng knew that the motivation that rewards could bring was endless. For example, when he first got the system, he faced the two challenging tasks of high-intensity weight loss and high-intensity muscle gain. If the system hadn't told him about the generous rewards in advance, it would have been unknown whether he could have persevered.

1 billion US dollars!
What kind of money is this?

Even if her whole family had been working since the time of Yuanmou Man, they wouldn't have earned this much money. Now, she only needs to put in a little effort to acquire such an astronomical amount of assets.

And the annual trust income of tens of millions of US dollars would allow her to achieve global luxury home freedom, whether it's Beijing or China Overseas, New York or London, she could easily own them all.

She can give her child the best educational resources, the best environment for growth, the freedom to pursue her dreams, and the opportunity to fully enjoy a wonderful life.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiwen couldn't help but feel a little breathless.

At the same time, her expression gradually became firm.

"I will work hard!"

Luo Xiwen looked at Gu Heng and said seriously.

Looking at the fighting spirit flashing in Luo Xiwen's eyes, Gu Heng smiled slightly: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. I certainly have no right to interfere with the distribution of the trust's assets, but it's my own money. I can spend it however I want and give it to whomever I want. I'll always be behind you. Your happiness is the most important thing."

“Gu Heng…”

Luo Xiwen's eyes were moist; Gu Heng had moved her so much tonight, his words and actions all proving his overwhelming love for her. Seeing this, Gu Heng stood up and walked towards Luo Xiwen.

With a little effort, he lifted the other person up by the waist.

"I haven't signed it yet."

"It's alright, we can sign it tomorrow morning."

"Good~"

Their conversation drifted further and further away from the restaurant.

As soon as the bedroom door closed, the seductive music resumed.

……

Three days later, in front of the Beichun [Zhenyuan Shanfang] Satellite Plaza store, countless opening flower baskets almost filled the entire street, and the open-air parking lot not far away was filled with luxury cars, with no luxury car priced less than one million yuan.

"Wow!"

"It looks so lively!"

"What a grand display!"

At the street corner leading to Zhenyuan Restaurant, Bai Muling looked at the scene before her and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Bai Muqing walked beside Bai Muning. Compared to her sister's liveliness and straightforwardness, she was more reserved. Although she was equally amazed by the scene before her, she did not show it on her face.

"Sister, is that four-story medicinal cuisine restaurant owned by one of your students?"

Bai Mu Ning, arm in arm with her sister, looked around at the magnificent scenery and asked in amazement, "To be able to acquire land and build buildings in such a prime business district, your student must be incredibly wealthy."

"Zhenyuan Shanfang is just a newly created medicinal cuisine brand under Zhencui Group. Zhencui Group owns many catering brands, such as Chaoyu Seafood Buffet Restaurant and Yuanzhi Steakhouse, which we visited before. They are both subsidiaries of Zhencui Group."

“My student, Gu Heng, whom I told you about, is the chairman of Zhencui Group and owns it entirely. Zhencui Group is just one of Gu Heng’s many businesses. His other businesses are no smaller than Zhencui Group. So, what you consider an amazing medicinal cuisine restaurant is just a drop in the ocean for him.”

Bai Muqing led her younger sister toward Zhenyuan Restaurant. Although the area in front of Zhenyuan Restaurant was bustling with people, she still spotted Gu Heng in the center of the crowd at a glance.

Wearing a well-tailored light gray business suit, which perfectly showcased his tall and well-proportioned figure, he was chatting and laughing with the middle-aged men in front of him who were old enough to be his fathers. He looked very confident and maintained a relaxed and dignified demeanor in every gesture.

"Sister, according to your description..."

"Isn't this the quintessential Northeastern version of a young, domineering CEO?"

Bai Mu Ning blinked and muttered, "But he has to be handsome. Only handsome men can be called domineering CEOs, otherwise it won't feel right."

"garrulous……"

"That man standing in the center of the crowd, wearing a light gray business suit, is him."

Bai Muqing slightly raised her chin and gestured to her younger sister.

Bai Mu Ning looked in the direction her sister pointed, and when she saw Gu Heng's handsome face and tall, upright figure, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly.

"Beautiful, stylish, and elegant!"

Bai Mu Ning said excitedly, "It's like the young, domineering CEO from a romance novel has come to life!"

The two sisters grew up together, and Bai Muqing, who was eight years older than Bai Muning, had practically watched her grow up. Looking at the faint gleam in Bai Muning's eyes, she knew that her younger sister had developed a strong interest in Gu Heng.

For some reason, seeing her younger sister's expression made Bai Muqing feel inexplicably uncomfortable, a feeling she had never experienced before in all her years of life.

"gone."

"Let's go over and say hello."

Bai Muqing didn't let Bai Muning stay any longer: "Today I just brought you here to familiarize yourself with the place and to bring him an opening gift. In the future, our schedules may not be able to match, so you'll have to come by yourself most of the time."

"Sister, is their medicinal cuisine really that amazing?"

Bai Muning hesitated slightly: "We've taken so many Chinese medicines before, but our menstrual cramps still haven't improved. Now we don't even need to take Chinese medicine. Just eating here every day can improve or even completely cure our menstrual cramps. Is that really possible?"

"It's really amazing."

“If it weren’t truly effective, why would I have brought you here?”

"If you keep taking it for a while, you'll know I'm telling the truth when you get your next period. But the prerequisite is that you have to come and take it every day. I come here every day now, and I'll ask Manager Han whether you're really having your period or not."

As Bai Muqing finished speaking, his expression suddenly became much more serious.

She has been taking medicinal diet for three consecutive days since Gu Heng brought her here.

Just as Gu Heng said, although she still felt some pain after that day, she no longer felt the pain as unbearable as before. The pain was still within a tolerable range and did not affect her normal life at all.

You should know that in the past, even taking painkillers like ibuprofen was difficult to achieve this effect, but now she can get the same effect as ibuprofen just by using medicinal food supplements.

Most importantly, the former is nourishing, while the latter is harmful.

The miraculous effects of the medicinal cuisine gave Bai Muqing hope and made her completely believe what Gu Heng had told her a few days ago. So today, while the national youth team was resting, she brought her younger sister along.

"Ok."

"I will come to eat on time every day."

Bai Mu Ning asked her sister in a low voice, "Is this medicinal cuisine very expensive?"

Since her father suffered a stroke and became paralyzed on one side, the family's financial burden has fallen on her older sister's shoulders, and Bai Mu Ning has become particularly sensitive about money.

She used to love Pop Mart dolls, and would pester her parents and sister for rewards whenever she achieved good results in a competition. But now she never mentions them anymore. She just wants to train hard and get good results so that she can help relieve some of her sister's pressure as soon as possible.

"It's really not that expensive."

"Each medicinal dish is only slightly more expensive than those at fast food restaurants."

Bai Muqing knew what her sister was worried about, and her voice softened: "What's more, Gu Heng gave me a 30% discount on the entire store because of our relationship. After the discount, the price is even cheaper than that of a regular fast food restaurant."

"That's okay."

When Bai Muling heard that the price of each meal was even lower than that of a fast food restaurant, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, fearing that she would cause her sister an even greater burden.

Bai Muqing habitually raised his hand and patted Bai Muning's head, saying with a smile, "I still say the same thing: your main task now is to train hard. You don't need to worry about money. I'm still waiting for you to win the world championship in the future and make a lot of money so you can invest in my scientific research projects."

"ah!"

"Don't pat my head!"

"I finally managed to get this high-top hairstyle!"

Bai Mu Ning slapped her sister's hand away and couldn't help but puff out her fair and tender cheeks.

"All you do is show off."

Bai Muqing couldn't help but chuckle: "You're an athlete, how can you be so vain?"

"Athletes also have the right to look good!"

Bai Mu Ning pouted as she spoke.

"Go, go, go."

Bai Muqing shook her head helplessly, then looked at the space around Gu Heng that had been temporarily cleared, and quickly led Bai Mu Ning towards the main entrance of Zhenyuan Restaurant...
