Tycoon: From Rags to Riches

Chapter 151: Chapter 142: Eh, Why 2 Sets?

On the Huangpu River, a yacht circled The Bund again and again.

Though it was late at night, both banks of the river were still a dazzling world of lavish living, bustling with noise and excitement. It was an extraordinarily lively scene.

On the yacht, Gu Heng remained seated in the center.

Compared to the beginning of the night, two more girls had appeared around Gu Heng.

One was Bingbing, who had rushed over on short notice about half an hour ago.

She wore a thin, black sun-protection top with tight black yoga pants. Her light brown hair fell naturally over her shoulders. Her skin was already exceptionally fair, but against her dark clothes and hair, she looked so pale she practically glowed.

At least, compared to the other girls around, Bingbing was probably the fairest of them all.

Aside from that, her chilly aura was somewhat similar to Jiang Ruan’s.

However, she only *looked* cold. It was different from Jiang Ruan’s genuine, deep-seated frostiness. When it came to social graces, Bingbing was an absolute master.

The girl next to Bingbing was named Xinxin.

She always had a "green tea" way of talking and was a natural at putting on a cutesy, squeezed voice.

In truth, every single girl here knew a thing or two about the "art of green tea." The only difference was their level of skill. But while the other girls were subtle about it, Xinxin was openly playing the part.

Of course...

’That whole "green tea" label is just a slanderous term invented by those sour, vicious women!’

’Take these girls here. No matter who they are, they’re all my sweet, understanding little sisters!’

’What "green tea"?’

’Why would anyone reject girls who are understanding, gentle, virtuous, considerate, and well-behaved? You think I’d want one of those boorish, aggressive she-dragons who are clueless about romance, full of themselves, and always flaunting their independence?’

’What a joke!’

"Chairman Gu~"

"We came to offer you a toast~"

"It’s such an honor to meet you today~"

And look, here came two more of his sweet, understanding little sisters.

As Gu Heng watched Lili and Yaya approach with glasses in hand, the slight furrow in his brow smoothed out.

’[Challenge Mission: Legend]’

’[Legendary Level: 84.75%]’

’[Mission Rewards: 8-hour Consumption Refund Card, Buff Upgrade Card]’

Ever since Gu Heng started dominating the entire internet with his "Prince Heng" account, he had gifted over two thousand Carnivals. His account had risen from the initial Level 1 to its current Level 68.

At first, his Legendary Level had increased rapidly, reaching over 50% in almost no time. However, once it passed 50%, the growth rate began to slow down.

Now that it was over 80%, the growth rate had slowed to a crawl. Take the PK battle he just had, for example. He’d thrown out over two hundred Carnivals, and in the end, his Legendary Level had increased by less than 1%.

Gu Heng knew where the problem lay. The problem was that he couldn’t find an opponent.

The few times he encountered accounts above Level 70, they were no match for him at all. Even though Gu Heng was being as arrogant as possible, his opponents would usually get angry for a moment... and then nothing. That was the end of it.

Gu Heng understood that only an evenly matched fight was exciting to watch.

It was like a soccer match. A showdown between the French supercar and Demon Buu would be spectacular and thrilling, the kind that got your blood pumping and stayed in your memory. Even if only one goal was scored the entire game, it would still go down as a legendary duel.

But if the French supercar were playing against the King of Sea Cucumber, even if he scored dozens of goals, it would be utterly boring and tasteless.

Right now, Gu Heng was like the French supercar, but his Demon Buu had yet to appear. It truly made him feel like he had all this power with nowhere to use it.

Gu Heng felt a little worried inside, but on the outside, he picked up his glass and clinked it with Lili’s and Yaya’s in turn.

"Chairman Gu, you just need to take a sip. We’ll finish ours."

Both girls were very sensible. They squatted down on either side of Gu Heng, tilting their heads up to gaze at him with their dewy, alluring eyes. They didn’t have the slightest air of being major internet celebrities.

"Let’s all finish it together."

Gu Heng raised his glass and replied in a gentle voice.

As Gu Heng finished speaking, the other five girls sitting around him also raised their glasses and downed them along with him, Lili, and Yaya.

"Chairman Gu, how about we sisters perform a dance for everyone?"

After finishing her drink, Yaya’s already cherry-pink lips looked even glossier. She put down her glass and made the suggestion to Gu Heng.

"Alright."

Gu Heng nodded.

Gu Heng was quite looking forward to the "Yaya March" that had gone viral all over the internet. Lili was also a professional when it came to dancing; at least 90 out of 100 of her videos were of her dancing.

Their collaboration was bound to be highly entertaining.

As the dynamic DJ music started, the two girls simultaneously raised their hands, thrust out their chests, and swayed from side to side.

The classic "Yaya March" was being performed again, and a live version at that. It pushed the already heated atmosphere of the party to its peak.

The riverbanks glowed with magnificent lights, and neon flickered on the yacht’s flybridge.

Lost in a world of hedonism and debauchery.

You have to understand, Gu Heng had already "rewarded" pretty much all the original female influencers. The ones he’d poached weren’t just Bingbing, Xinxin, Lili, and Yaya; there were many others.

It was just that Gu Heng had taken a liking to these four, while he’d sent the rest over to be with Wang Yan, Deng Zhihong, and their group.

After all, Wang Yan had been organizing these outings for two days straight. Gu Heng took the opportunity of his mission to give Wang Yan and the others a little "perk" so they could have more fun too.

Right now, Wang Yan, Deng Zhihong, and the others each had at least three to five women by their side. Every single one was a major influencer with millions of fans; not one was a civilian.

Gu Heng gazed at Lili’s bewitching and seductive charm and Yaya’s sexy dance moves, which were a stark contrast to her innocent face. The fire that had long been burning inside him began to rage even more fiercely.

"Chairman Gu, we’d like to toast you."

Just then, Shuyue, the "older sister" type next to him, saw Gu Heng reach for his glass. With sharp perception, she immediately picked up her own glass as well and asked Gu Heng in a soft, gentle voice.

Gu Heng looked at the mature, "cool older sister" type, then at the lively, spirited "younger sister" beside her. He asked softly, "Are you staying on the boat tonight?"

Hearing this, an irrepressible look of pleasant surprise flashed in Shuyue’s eyes.

"Mhm~"

Without any hesitation, she nodded in agreement.

She had been desperate to latch onto Gu Heng, so this outcome was exactly what she had been hoping for.

Besides, with a bevy of beauties all around, the fact that Gu Heng had chosen her was a form of high-value validation. Her vanity couldn’t help but swell.

"What do you want?"

Seeing Shuyue nod, Gu Heng asked her another question.

"Um..."

Shuyue seemed a bit shy.

"I like things to be simple and direct. Beating around the bush is pointless."

Don’t be fooled by how these women fawned over him and treated him with respect, all of them sending him subtle signals.

But Gu Heng knew very well that they were all extremely pragmatic. They wouldn’t act without seeing a reward and were long immune to empty promises.

The only difference was that they tailored their efforts to the man. For some guys, they wouldn’t lift a finger even if you gave them a whole rabbit. For others, they might just act for a rabbit’s leg.

’Want them to give it up for free?’

’Even if they dared to offer, I wouldn’t dare to accept.’

Seeing how direct Gu Heng was, Shuyue hesitated for a moment, then took out her phone, opened a link, and said cautiously, "Chairman Gu, I’ve had my eye on a Tiffany jewelry set recently..."

At her words, Gu Heng glanced over.

A Tiffany bracelet and a Tiffany necklace. The whole set was a matching style, with a total price of 238,000 yuan.

"Send me the link later. I’ll buy you two sets."

Gu Heng replied casually.

"Thank you, Chairman Gu."

Shuyue thanked him instinctively, but then she froze for a second.

"Huh?"

"Why two sets?"
