The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 99 Using History to Understand Oneself
After reviewing the details of Xingchuan International and Beichun Junlan Hotel, Gu Heng's gaze then turned to Ruyi Airlines as an asset reward.

[Asset Incentive: Ruyi Aviation (13.67% equity stake)]

[Current Status: Transaction in progress (0.01%)]

Ruyi Airlines: A private airline under the China Shipping Junyao Group, established in 2006 and headquartered in China Shipping, with a market capitalization of 237 billion yuan. Its main business is domestic and international passenger and cargo transportation. Currently, it has a fleet of 101 aircraft and a route network covering major domestic cities and international destinations in Asia, Europe, and Australia. Its equity value is approximately 32.23 billion yuan.

[Note: Equity acquisition negotiations have begun. Once the current progress indicates that the transaction is complete, please have Juncheng Law Firm handle the takeover at Ruyi Airlines.]

After reading through the details provided by Tongzi's father, Gu Heng then searched online.

After gaining a full understanding, Gu Heng's expression became slightly strange.

Got it…

This time it's truly AAA-rated nationwide free flight!
Jiang Ruan wanted to be a flight attendant but failed, yet she unexpectedly became a major shareholder of a well-known domestic airline. It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.

'but……'

'Having this identity makes some things seem much easier.'

Gu Heng had a few thoughts running through his mind, and at the same time turned his attention to the final luxury reward.

[Asset Award: Bombardier Global 7500]

[Current Progress: In Delivery (0.1%)]

[Bombardier Global 7500: One of the world's most luxurious business jets, with a cabin 16.59 meters long and 1.88 meters high, featuring four separate living areas and accommodating up to 16 passengers. It boasts a maximum range of 14260 kilometers and a top speed of Mach 0.925, enabling intercontinental direct flights. It can operate in high-temperature and high-altitude conditions and possesses excellent short-runway performance. The total price is approximately 6 million yuan.]

[Note: Once the Bombardier Global 7500 delivery process reaches 100%, please entrust Ruyi Aviation to conduct the handover with Bombardier Aviation.]

Having now unlocked all the rewards for the second level of the [Golden Tower of Wealth], Gu Heng had read them all in detail.

He sat back down in the single sofa chair, gazing at the bright sunshine outside the window, feeling a strange sense of unreality.

Having only unlocked two levels of the [Golden Tower of Wealth], Gu Heng's wealth level had already soared to A10. And it wasn't just A10 that had just crossed the threshold, but A10 that was not far from the wealth level A11.

What if the third or fourth level is unlocked?
How high will his wealth soar then?

Towers of gold coins are often more dazzling than abysses.

Gu Heng understood that his feelings were related to his shallow understanding of the world.

Not to mention compared to those self-made billionaires, even compared to those who inherit wealth from their ancestors, his abilities, knowledge, vision, and overall perspective are far inferior.

Be prepared for danger when you are in peace, and be prepared for danger.

As the excitement gradually faded, Gu Heng fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, the tower and scepter that had been hidden in the void reappeared before their eyes.

One is glittering with gold, the other is dazzling with precious light.

As Gu Heng stared at them, the tower and the scepter trembled slightly at the same time.

[Challenge: Learn from History]

[Task Content: In-depth reading of 50 history books]

[Book List: Outline of Chinese History, Records of the Grand Historian, Zizhi Tongjian, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, A Global History, Capital, War and Peace, The Prince, Biography of Emperor Taizu, Culture and Society, The Idea of ​​History...]

[Current Progress: 0/50]

[Quest Reward: Unlock the first tier of the "Scepter of Power"]

As the light screen reappeared before his eyes, Gu Heng suddenly realized that if he wanted to unlock the third level of the [Golden Tower of Wealth], the prerequisite was to first successfully unlock the first level of the [Scepter of Power].

Compared to the [Golden Tower of Wealth], which directly presented Gu Heng with its rewards after unlocking, the [Scepter of Power] offered no reward whatsoever.

However, based on Gu Heng's understanding of his father, the Tongzi, he usually receives generous rewards upon completion of challenging missions. As a "main quest" on par with the "Golden Tower of Wealth," how could the "Scepter of Power" possibly be without any rewards?

The rewards for unlocking the [Golden Tower of Wealth] consist of various types of assets.

So what will be the reward for unlocking the [Scepter of Power]?

Gu Heng pondered for a moment, but had no clue.

So Gu Heng simply stopped worrying about it.

In any case, regardless of whether his father, the ruler, would reward him after successfully unlocking the first level of the [Scepter of Power], this challenge was something he had to complete.

Unless he wants to stop here and never want to unlock the third level of the [Golden Pagoda of Wealth] to obtain even greater wealth.

'Just so happens...'

'I was just thinking about whether I should recharge myself and read more books to enrich myself when the challenge to unlock the first level of the [Scepter of Power] arrived.'

Gu Heng looked at the book list provided in the challenge task. Some of the books were familiar to him, while others were completely new to him.

However, since they were selected by the father of the system and included in the reading list, they must all be classics among classics in the field of history.

Actually, before this challenge appeared, Gu Heng had already considered finding some history books to read.

He noticed that the important figures he had recently met all seemed to have a habit of reading history books. Even Jiang Man, who was studying medicine, had many history books on her office bookshelf.

Now, this challenge is exactly what he wanted.

In addition, Gu Heng also noticed that there was no time limit for this challenge.

"Indeed..." "Studying is something that can't be rushed."

With no time limit, Gu Heng felt no sense of urgency.

He stretched lazily and got up to walk towards the soft bed.

For more than two months, the tension in my heart has finally eased.

……

Gu Heng slept from noon until evening.

I opened my eyes to find it was already dusk outside the window.

As dusk slowly drifted across the horizon, the orange-red sunset bathed the entire sky.

Gu Heng rolled over and lay on his side, gazing at the stunning view outside the window for a while in a daze.

"Dong dong dong..."

He didn't know how much time had passed before a soft knock on the door brought him back to his senses.

"Who is it?"

Gu Heng asked the person outside.

"it's me."

Jiang Ruan's voice came from outside.

"Come in."

"The door is unlocked."

Gu Heng's voice carried a hint of languor.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan gently turned the doorknob and then walked in from outside.

At the same time, she was carrying two business shirts of different styles and colors in her hands.

The room was dimly lit.

Only the setting sun at dusk illuminated the room, giving it a rich sense of light and shadow.

Jiang Ruan walked into the room from outside, and Gu Heng also sat up from the bed.

This caused the thin silk quilt that was originally covering Gu Heng to naturally slide down his body.

Strong and well-defined shoulder and neck lines, and neatly arranged six-pack abs.

She has a long, slender neck and a sexy Adam's apple.

A face that combines youthful charm with maturity, with dark and deep eyes.

The distinct layers of light and shadow fell upon him, creating a strangely beautiful scene.

Although Jiang Ruan had seen similar scenes many times over the past two months, she still couldn't help but feel her heart race when she saw them again.

"Mr. Gu, which outfit would you like to wear to the banquet later?"

Jiang Ruan looked at Gu Heng with a complicated expression and asked him softly.

Since that night, Gu Hengzhen has never touched her again.

Even though they lived under the same roof, and even though Gu Heng wanted her and she was powerless to refuse, Gu Heng never overstepped his bounds in the slightest.

His eyes were clear and devoid of desire.

even……

She felt that Gu Heng was more interested in those cold, impersonal gym equipment than she was.

Such indifference made Jiang Ruan begin to doubt her own charm.

'Could it be that I really gave Gu Heng a terrible feeling that night?'

Jiang Ruan didn't know why. If it was really as she guessed, she should have felt very happy to have achieved her wish, but she just couldn't be happy. In fact, a kind of regret that she was very unwilling to admit was growing in her heart.

"That brown shirt, I suppose."

Gu Heng looked at Jiang Ruan, who stood there gracefully with a cool expression. He casually glanced at the two shirts she was holding and replied to her.

"Ok."

"I'll iron it for you and bring it over later."

Jiang Ruan responded and turned to leave the room.

Gu Heng gazed at Jiang Ruan's graceful and slender back, his eyes becoming somewhat profound.

'perhaps……'

"Going to Zhonghai in a while will be a great opportunity."

Gu Heng was making these plans in his mind when he got out of bed and headed towards the bathroom, preparing for the banquet later...
