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

The process of purchasing a car was slow.

Gu Heng arrived just before ten o’clock, tested the car, negotiated the price, and by almost 12 o’clock...

But the payment process was swift...

As Gu Heng happily signed the purchase agreement, Liu Wen lightly swiped his debit card on the POS machine, officially declaring the three-million, two-hundred-fifty-thousand yuan Bentley as belonging to Gu Heng...

[One’s life is often hampered by what one could not have in youth. Congratulations to the host for taking the first step out of life’s predicaments, possessing one’s own luxury car, fulfilling the audacious words of an 18-year-old, satisfying desires, reward: 9,990,000 yuan. Account balance: 9,990,000 yuan.]

Listening to the crisp sound in his mind, Gu Heng felt as if every pore in his body involuntarily opened, a delightful sensation spreading throughout his body...

24 hours...

Just 24 hours! He had transformed from a nobody without a house or significant savings to a high-up person with tens of millions in savings and a luxury car!

He now just wanted to ask—who else?!

As Liu Wen received the notification of successful payment, her smile became uncontrollably wide...

Two hours to process the sale!

This was the quickest deal in her car sales career.

"Congratulations, Mr. Gu, on becoming the prestigious owner of a Bentley. May the companionship of your Bentley usher in a luxurious and spectacular journey in life."

Liu Wen had repeated these congratulatory words from the Bentley dealership countless times, but this time she delivered them most smoothly...

After finishing the blessing, Liu Wen continued, "We will contact our specialists to handle the acquisition tax, value-added tax, and insurance here at our dealership, so you don’t need to go to the vehicle administration office yourself. You only need to provide two photocopies of your ID card here, and upon completion, the vehicle registration and driving permits will be handed over to you.

The process will take about two hours. If Mr. Gu is free, you may wait here at our dealership, or if you do not have the time, you can provide an address, and we will personally deliver them to you.

Furthermore, if Mr. Gu, you need us to handle the license plates, we can take care of that as well, though it might take a bit longer since it’s the end of the year, but it shouldn’t exceed one week."

Hearing Liu Wen ramble on about many things, Gu Heng started to feel overwhelmed...

He had no experience buying cars and did not understand all this.

But in those billionaire novels, all protagonists could drive away their multimillion supercars right after paying, right?

Indeed...

Lack of common knowledge really does harm people...

However, troublesome as it was, Gu Heng honestly accepted the arrangements of the dealership...

After all, he was not any privileged individual, and as a law-abiding citizen, it was proper to follow the regulations.

Moreover, considering the usual slow pace of the relevant departments, getting these matters resolved in a few days would already be fast. The Bentley dealership had managed to reduce this period to just two hours, letting him somewhat experience the privileges only the wealthy could enjoy. Why bother about a bicycle...

"There’s no need to deliver; I will come to pick it up in two hours, and please take care of the license plate for me," he said.

"It’s no bother at all; this is all part of our service," she responded.

While Gu Heng was exchanging pleasantries with the saleswoman, Lin Jiayun, an outsider who had observed everything, still felt as though she was in a dream, and quietly asked Gu Heng, "A car worth more than three million, just bought like that?"

"Hmm? Otherwise?" he responded casually.

As she listened to Gu Heng’s light tone, Lin Jiayun subconsciously swallowed hard...

She considered herself to be in the high-income bracket and generally had a strong sense of superiority, yet it was hard for her to accept that someone could buy a multimillion-dollar luxury car more casually than she would buy a piece of clothing...

...

...

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

A few minutes later, while still listening to Liu Wen go over some car pickup specifics, a gurgling sound came from next to her...

Gu Heng followed the noise and looked at Lin Jiayun, who was tilting her head with a blush of embarrassment spreading over her neck...

While trying to ease the awkwardness, Lin Jiayun caught Gu Heng staring at her from the corner of her eye and a bit annoyed and bashfully scolded him, "What are you looking at! Didn’t you eat breakfast? I’ve been with you looking at cars all morning, of course I’m hungry!

"What’s wrong with saying I’m hungry!"

Gu Heng: "..."

Hearing Lin Jiayun’s complaints, Gu Heng felt a bit embarrassed...

He was so excited about buying a car that he hadn’t felt hungry, and indeed he had neglected Lin Jiayun...

Realizing this, Gu Heng promptly stood up and said, "Since you’re hungry, let’s go eat. By the time we’re back from eating, most of the paperwork should be done.

"Tell me what you want to eat, consider it a reward for accompanying me all morning."

"That’s more like it!"

Sitting quietly on the side and listening to their conversation, Liu Wen quickly said, "How about this, today Mr. Gu gave me such a big performance, I don’t really have a way to thank you both, why don’t I treat you to a meal?"

After saying this, she looked at Gu Heng with hopeful eyes...

As a salesperson, building connections is most crucial, especially for someone like her who sells luxury cars...

From her perspective, if she could foster a good relationship with wealthy individuals like Gu Heng, and if she could refer a couple of clients to herself, not to mention a meal, even treating them ten times would be worth it...

Seeing Liu Wen’s sincere gaze, Gu Heng hardly knew how to refuse and simply glanced at Lin Jiayun...

Lin Jiayun displayed a look of nonchalance.

Seeing this, Gu Heng nodded and said, "Then thank you, Miss Liu."

"Mr. Gu is too polite, please wait a moment, I’ll go to the parking lot to get my car."

....

....

Just like during the test drive, there were still three of them in the car.

The difference was the car changed from a Bentley Continental GT to a pink Audi A4, and the driver changed from Gu Heng to Liu Wen.

Sitting in the backseat, bored, Lin Jiayun suddenly put away her phone and turned her gaze to Gu Heng’s face, "Gu Heng, I have a question for you."

Putting away his phone, Gu Heng returned her gaze, "Hmm? What is it?"

"I feel like you liked that Continental GT more, why did you switch to the Flying Spur? You don’t dislike sports cars, do you?"

Sitting in the driver’s seat and focusing on driving, Liu Wen also pricked up her ears. She was also curious as to why Gu Heng gave up the more youth-favored Continental GT for a more standard Flying Spur.

Hearing Lin Jiayun’s question, Gu Heng smirked.

"Nonsense, what young person doesn’t like sports cars! I definitely like them."

"Then why didn’t you choose the Continental GT but went for the Flying Spur?"

"The Flying Spur has a bit more space in the back seat."

Lin Jiayun: "???"

She didn’t understand, a smaller back seat space wouldn’t hinder driving, and immediately questioned with a confused face, "Why do you need so much space in the back? You’re not seriously considering running a ride-hailing service to show off, are you? Doing such a tacky thing?"

Listening to her ribbing, Gu Heng rolled his eyes, "I’m not that bored. The back seat is reserved for my parents, it’s better if it’s more comfortable."

His idea was straightforward, he was buying a car just to show off when he went home.

During the New Year, he’d undoubtedly be visiting relatives by car, and with the cramped space in the back seat of a Continental GT, his old folks would likely be tormented to death...

Since it’s all for showing off, having a Bentley badge was enough...

As for liking it, he wasn’t buying a car just this one time in his life, he could always buy another later. He didn’t care what others thought; surely he couldn’t just enjoy showing off while making his parents suffer, right?

Listening to Gu Heng’s straightforward and simple explanation, Lin Jiayun and Liu Wen instantly fell silent...
