The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 60 A husky can't become a wolf, and a simp can't get into bed.

Fine rain, like silver threads, fell from the inky sky, weaving a hazy curtain that enveloped the entire street.

The streetlights were blurred into fuzzy orbs of light in the rain and mist, and the asphalt road surface shimmered with water, like crumpled tin foil.

The headlights of the Maybach GLS600 pierced the rain curtain, forming a dazzling and bright beam of light, only to be quickly swallowed up by the rain ahead.

"It's raining……"

Jiang Ruan looked at the suddenly changed weather outside, her pink lips slightly parted: "The weather forecast clearly showed that there would be no rain today?"

"I was just scrolling through Douyin, and it seems like a typhoon is passing through."

"Rain is likely to continue for the next few days, and there may be heavy rain."

Gu Heng turned on the heater slightly and responded to Jiang Ruan.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

"Luckily you came to pick me up today, otherwise I might have gotten soaked."

Jiang Ruan turned slightly to the side and said softly.

Gu Heng smiled, his gaze fixed on the road ahead, and suddenly said, "I ran into your roommate Huang Yufan yesterday. I didn't expect her to be an employee of Shenglong Real Estate. What a small world!"

“Yu Fan told me about this yesterday when she got home.”

At this point, Jiang Ruan tentatively asked, "She said you bought a villa in Yu Cui Garden?"

"Um……"

"The property was transferred at the real estate transaction center this morning."

"That place still needs to be tidied up before we can move in."

Gu Heng nodded and responded naturally.

"So, do you plan to stay in Beichun for an extended period of time?"

Jiang Ruan's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked Gu Heng again.

"I have no plans to move to other cities for the time being."

Gu Heng answered truthfully.

If Brother Tongzi rewards him entirely with cash after he successfully unlocks the first level of the [Golden Tower of Wealth], then he might genuinely consider leaving Beichun and moving to top-tier cities like Yanjing, Zhonghai, or Pengcheng.

After all, first-tier cities like Zhonghai and Shenzhen may not be very friendly to ordinary people, but for the rich, they are practically paradise.

Unfortunately, not all of the rewards given to him by Brother Tongzi were cash rewards.

With assets exceeding 100 million yuan, Zhencui Group has a deep-rooted presence in the catering industry in northern China.

A complete relocation is simply unrealistic.

However, it is also unrealistic to expect Gu Heng to simply wash his hands of the matter and abandon Zhencui Group to fend for itself.

Moreover, these rewards only unlock the first level of the [Golden Tower of Wealth]. He doesn't know if the asset rewards given to him by Brother Tongzi after he successfully unlocks the second level of the [Golden Tower of Wealth] will still be properties in Beichun or Jilin Province.

and so……

Gu Heng will definitely not choose to leave Beichun before he understands the situation, at least not now.

“Yesterday, I talked to Huang Yufan about you.”

Gu Heng then asked, "She said you're not very satisfied with your current job, is that right?"

"Uh-huh."

"I've already decided to resign soon."

Jiang Ruan nodded and answered truthfully.

"Then what are your plans next?"

Gu Heng asked the question knowing the answer already.

Jiang Ruan blinked: "President Gu, aren't you going to ask why?"

"That's nothing to ask."

"In my opinion, leaving a job is like breaking up."

"Either the money isn't enough, or..."

At this point, Gu Heng suddenly stopped.

"Just what?"

Jiang Ruan was puzzled, wondering why Gu Heng had suddenly stopped talking.

"What else could it be?"

Gu Heng's lips curled into a slight smile: "You're not happy with the work, are you?"

Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment, then her face inexplicably flushed. Unfortunately, she couldn't refute Gu Heng, because one of the main reasons she wanted to resign was that she was extremely unhappy working there.

If it weren't for the fact that sales pays so well, she probably would have quit long ago.

"Then what are your plans next?"

This was the first time Gu Heng had encountered rain since he started driving, so he kept his speed at around 70 mph and did not overtake or run red lights.

"I'm going to apply for a flight attendant position with an airline and go back to doing the job I should be doing."

Jiang Ruan's voice was soft, but her tone was full of determination.

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng remained silent.

Soon, Jiang Ruan noticed that the atmosphere inside the car was a bit strange.

She asked somewhat cautiously, "Mr. Gu, if I leave Beichun, will we have a chance to meet again in the future?"

"There probably isn't a chance."

Gu Heng didn't look at Jiang Ruan, and replied calmly, "I'm usually very busy."

Even though Jiang Ruan's looks, figure, and temperament all meet Gu Heng's aesthetic standards, and even though Jiang Ruan is the bound object of the system challenge mission [Conquer], so what?

Are you suggesting he should chase after the other party all over the country?
From the dignified Chairman Gu to AAA Ah Heng (flying nationwide)?

If this gets out, it'll be absolutely hilarious.

Even Fei Yangyang would shake his head at her humility.

As the saying goes, women all admire strength.

A husky can't become a wolf, and a simp can't get into bed.

If Gu Heng really did that, willingly becoming a sycophant and chasing after Jiang Ruan all over the country, he dared to guarantee that he would never be able to complete that challenge mission in his lifetime.

Jiang Ruan was a woman with extremely high aspirations. To completely conquer such a woman, one must always be stronger than her and always keep her in a position of looking up to and worshipping her.

Sure enough, right after Gu Heng finished speaking.

Jiang Ruan's expression became somewhat tense, and she quickly added, "President Gu, what I mean is that I will often return to Beichun."

"Um……"

"Let's see how things go."

Gu Heng gave a noncommittal reply, then turned the car around and drove off in another direction.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ruan paused for a moment, then said, "President Gu, the Li'ao Sports and Fitness Center seems to be in that direction. You're in a different direction now."

"Rainy days, I'm not in the mood."

"I'll take you straight home."

Gu Heng still didn't look at Jiang Ruan, his tone inexplicably cold.

"Okay... okay."

Jiang Ruan's voice faintly revealed a hint of grievance.

She could clearly sense that Gu Heng's attitude changed immediately after she said she was leaving Beichun.

but……

She had already said that she was willing to come back to him on her own initiative!

Isn't this enough?
Putting aside the fact that he and I have no relationship now, even if we did have a relationship, he can't interfere with my independent will!
Jiang Ruan felt increasingly wronged as she thought about it, and the two remained silent until Gu Heng dropped her off at her apartment building.

"It's raining heavily, you can take the umbrella."

Gu Heng handed the folding umbrella from the back seat to Jiang Ruan.

"Thank you."

Jiang Ruan pursed her lips and thanked her softly.

Gu Heng didn't say anything. Jiang Ruan opened the car door, held up her umbrella, and walked quickly towards the building, splashing through the water.

After Jiang Ruan disappeared from sight, Gu Heng withdrew his gaze.

He felt a little irritated. He was a lifelong single with zero romantic experience, and now he was suddenly faced with such a thorny problem. He really didn't know what to do.

"Hey……"

"It would be great if someone with experience could give me some pointers."

Gu Heng sighed softly, turned the steering wheel, and drove away.

However, just after Gu Heng sighed like that, Wang Baoshan's face from the dinner table yesterday inexplicably flashed into his mind.

Gu Heng suddenly slammed on the brakes, hesitated for a moment, and finally took out his phone to call Wang Baoshan...
