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

"Mr. Gu, your total expenditure this time is 1.03 million, which covers the membership fees for you, Mr. Li, and President Song, totaling 360,000, your companion play costs 480,000, Mr. Li's 90,000, President Song's 90,000, plus 14,000 for the service fee. I took the liberty of waiving the 4,000 change."

"Here is your bill for your review."

As he spoke, Li Changrui handed over the printed bill to Gu Heng, but Gu Heng didn't even look at it and just threw his Construction Bank black card onto the bar counter, "Swipe the card."

An expenditure of 1.03 million marked the most Gu Heng had ever spent on a single entertainment venture...

But Gu Heng, long accustomed to spending in tens of thousands, was completely indifferent to this amount now. He used to consider spending 103 yuan, but now, spending 1.03 million didn't even warrant consideration...

As for what Lu Yuan said about covering the expenditure for himself, Li Haibin, and Song Hua today, Gu Heng didn't take it seriously at all.

He believed that if he played dumb tonight, Lu Yuan would still end up paying the 1.03 million for him. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

But there was no need.

It's just over a million; he wasn't short of money, so why owe Lu Yuan a favor? Besides, since he got rewards for spending his own money, there was no way he'd let Lu Yuan pay. Wouldn't that be hindering his own chance to make money?

Li Haibin and Song Hua, accompanied by their chosen companions, watched Gu Heng casually toss his card and felt nothing but moved and envious...

They were moved that Gu Heng had reached such a level of wealth, mingling with billionaires like Lu Yuan, yet still willing to hang out with his less wealthy friends...

Their envy was for Gu Heng's ability to throw away over a million as though it were nothing...

Gu Heng, seeing the look in their eyes, could roughly guess what they were thinking, but he didn't say anything, just smiled at them.

When poor, one survives alone; when able, one helps the world.

Though Gu Heng might not yet have the capacity to help the world, he could still afford to treat his old childhood friends to some luxury.

Just then, having completed the transaction, Li Changrui respectfully returned the small card to Gu Heng with both hands.

The system's notification sound instantly chimed.

[Host has realized that life is not about enjoying alone, but about reveling with a group of childhood friends. For experiencing the pleasures that money can bring, successfully indulging. Reward: 10 million, balance 356.9 million.]

This time, the system's reward phrase struck a chord with Gu Heng...

If one has money but ends up alone, what's the fun in that?

And Kim Jisoo, who was clinging to Gu Heng's arm, watched as Gu Heng spent 1.03 million more decisively than she would on a lipstick, and stars began to appear in her eyes...

Wealth is one of the biggest representations of a man's allure. If Gu Heng's system had a panel, his charm rating might have been 60 before, but at this moment, it would definitely shoot up to 90, or even higher!

After settling the bill and walking out of the grand hall, enjoying the "kneeling" shoe service once more, the time had reached seven o'clock in the evening.

...

Outside the Yundian Association, night fell, and Yangcheng, this enchanting city, quietly donned its neon garment and began to show off its beauty to the world.

The Yangcheng Tower looked even more splendid at night under the stars, its lights flickering and mingling with the horizon's constellations as if narrating a romantic tale.

"Mr. Gu, I'll leave you here. There are still many matters to handle inside the association. Please excuse me; I await your next visit to Yundian Association."

Gu Heng nodded at him, then turned to Li Haibin and Song Hua and asked, "Are you planning to head straight back to the hotel, or do you want to go out for a bit?"

Li Haibin and Song Hua exchanged looks, then countered, "Aren't you going back to the hotel?"

Gu Heng shook his head, "I plan to wander around Yangcheng a bit, ate too much tonight, need to digest."

"Then shall we join you?"

Hearing this, Gu Heng already knew their intentions and replied with an eye roll, "Alright, if you want to head back to the hotel, go ahead. I'll wander on my own."

"Hehe, okay," Song Hua and Li Haibin smirked in unison…

Gu Heng looked at their sly grins, shook his head helplessly, and sneakily glanced at the companions they had chosen.

Li Haibin had picked a petite girl, probably only around five feet tall, her features somewhat resembling Wang Lulu's, but definitely a few grades higher in overall attractiveness—a high-class version of Wang Lulu...

Gu Heng had seen this girl when making his choice; she seemed to be a lactation consultant?

No wonder Leizi was so large...

The skills for lactation consulting must have been used on himself...

And Song Hua was even more outrageous...

His height was only around five feet six, maybe even less, but he picked a girl possibly taller than Gu Heng by a few inches, a model around six feet...

Her nine-head ratio might make her popular in the modeling industry, but Gu Heng found it awkward no matter how he looked...

He couldn't even imagine the scene of Song Hua and her getting physical in bed…

A small horse pulling a big cart?

Though Gu Heng could hardly accept their taste, he respected their quirks, waved at them, and walked aimlessly into the distance with Kim Jisoo...

...

...

In Tianhe District, Yangcheng's most bustling area equipped with urban facilities, it wasn't long before the two reached a commercial zone.

The crowd started to thicken...

Looking ahead at the endless snack vendors, Gu Heng deeply inhaled the air filled with various snack aromas, suddenly grounding himself back to reality...
