The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 54 Late-Night Invitation

Late at night, in a corner of the city.

Gu Heng, Wang Baoshan, Jiang Man, Qian Zhengxing, and others, who had just finished their dinner, walked out of the rather unassuming private restaurant behind them.

"Chairman Gu, I'm so happy today."

"Want to play another round? Let's find somewhere to have some fun?"

Wang Baoshan, arm in arm with Gu Heng, was so drunk that he could barely control his voice and his steps were unsteady.

Gu Heng, who was being held by Wang Baoshan, also had a strong sense of intoxication in his eyes, but he was still able to maintain a clear mind.

Jiang Man walked beside the two of them. Although she had also been drinking today, she was quite restrained and did not drink too much.

Upon hearing Wang Baoshan's words, Jiang Man immediately said tactfully, "President Wang, Chairman Gu, President Qian, if there's another round, I won't go. You all have a great time, let's reschedule for another day."

In Beichun, the only places where these big bosses could have their fun late at night were those places that were not convenient for her, as a woman, to go to.

"President Wang, President Gu, I have indeed reached my target for today."

Gu Heng waved his hand with a wry smile: "I really don't have the strength to play another round. Let's have a good drink another day when everyone has time, I'll treat you."

Before he acquired Tongzi, Gu Heng had basically never drunk any alcohol other than beer.

Today, Wang Baoshan hosted a banquet, and the liquor he brought was Moutai.

Gu Heng had never drunk baijiu before. Even though he knew that baijiu should be sipped slowly, it was his first time, and he still didn't quite get the amount right.

"Chairman Gu, it's alright if you can't drink it."

Wang Baoshan continued to warmly invite, "Let's not drink when we get there. Wouldn't it be nice to chat, sing songs, and play games?"

"Mr. Wang, I really can't go today."

"Another day, another day."

Seeing that Gu Heng's reluctance to go was not just politeness, Wang Baoshan did not insist further and instead looked at Qian Zhengxing.

"President Qian, Chairman Gu is not a good drinker, so we'll call it a day for now."

Wang Baoshan turned to Qian Zhengxing and said, "But I know how much you can drink, Director Qian. Let's find a place to have a little less to drink later."

Upon hearing this, Qian Zhengxing immediately declined.

However, everyone could see that Qian Zhengxing's refusal was just a polite formality. After Wang Baoshan invited him several times, he finally "reluctantly" agreed.

"Xiwen, how are you?"

"You didn't drink too much? You're alright, aren't you?"

While dealing with Wang Baoshan, Qian Zhengxing didn't forget about Gu Heng.

After all, compared to Wang Baoshan and Jiang Man, Gu Heng was the most important, and he could tell which was more important.

"President Qian, I'm fine with it."

Luo Xiwen shook his head and quickly responded to Qian Zhengxing.

She had just been sitting next to Gu Heng, pouring him wine and serving him food the whole time, while she herself had only drunk less than an ounce of baijiu.

"As long as you didn't drink too much, it's fine."

Qian Zhengxing instructed, "Make sure you get Chairman Gu home safely later."

"Ok."

Loshvin nodded seriously.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while in front of the restaurant, the group got into their cars and left.

Jiang Man assigned a trusted subordinate to help with the driving, while Gu Heng was driven by a professional driver sent by Zhencui Group.

Gu Heng and Luo Xiwen sat in the back seat. The driver in front turned around and respectfully asked Gu Heng, "Chairman Gu, where are we going?"

"Huatai Jiayuan".

Gu Heng leaned back in the comfortable, soft chair and casually responded to the person in front of him.

"Okay." The driver had no objections and immediately navigated to Huatai Jiayuan.

Luo Xiwen, who was sitting next to Gu Heng, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said, "Chairman Gu, I can take a taxi home by myself later. How can I let you take me home?"

"I have a driver, I don't need you to take me."

Gu Heng unscrewed a bottle of mineral water placed in the back row: "On the contrary, it's you, a young lady, who has been drinking. It's not safe for you to go home so late at night."

"I……"

Although Luo Xiwen knew that Gu Heng wasn't deliberately showing concern for her, but rather acting out of his primal kindness, she was still touched.

Outside the window, the long street, which had been flashing neon lights, had returned to silence.

Only the streetlights on both sides were still on, making the city less noisy and more warm.

"Xiwen, there's something I need you to do."

Gu Heng turned his head and met Luo Xiwen's gaze.

"Chairman Gu, you said..."

"Loh said in a low voice."

"Dean Jiang just sent me the villa garden design, but I feel it's not quite suitable for a young person like me. So I plan to hire another gardener to redesign the garden, and then buy wood and flowers to plant."

Gu Heng briefly explained the situation to Luo Xiwen: "I plan to put you in charge of this matter, is that alright?"

"No problem, no problem."

Luo Xiwen responded immediately, "Chairman Gu, please just tell me if you need anything."

"Row."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

Gu Heng then instructed, "Gardener, use our China Merchants Bank's channels to find some options. Do a preliminary screening first, and then let me make the final selection."

"Ok."

Luo Xiwen nodded, remembering all of Gu Heng's instructions.

"The next thing is the initial cleaning of the villa's interior. I noticed it was a bit dirty today. You should hire a cleaning company to thoroughly clean the inside and outside in the next couple of days."

"Besides that, please also prepare all the necessary supplies for living in the villa. I'll give you my China Merchants Bank credit card temporarily later. Just make a list of how much you need and report it to me at the end..."

Gu Heng said whatever came to mind, and it was mostly related to the villa.

Luo Xiwen took out his pen and notebook early on and carefully recorded everything Gu Heng had told him.

During their conversation, the Maybach GLS600 they were in quickly drove into Huatai Garden and eventually stopped downstairs at Luo Xiwen's house.

"Thank you, Chairman Gu."

Luo Xiwen gently thanked Gu Heng.

"fine."

Gu Heng gently shook his head.

Luo Xiwen reached out and opened the car door. She hesitated slightly, but her fair face flushed without her noticing.

Finally, she turned around again, her eyes filled with a hint of shyness, and she was even more hesitant to look Gu Heng in the eye: "Mr. Gu, would you...would you like to come to my house for a bit? I'll make you some tea so you can sober up."

As soon as Luo Xiwen said those words, she felt her face burning hot.

At this moment, Gu Heng, using the dim light inside the car, looked at Luo Xiwen's beautiful, shy face and felt somewhat surprised by her invitation.

In the dead of night, a lone man and a lone woman.

The young tyrannical boss and the cute little assistant.

This plot...

Why does this feel so familiar?
Gu Heng's thoughts wandered, but he silently replied, "Okay..."
