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

Zhu Kai's voice was somewhat hesitant...

It was no wonder he was nervous...

The young man before him was the current richest man in Hua Country, and the acquisition of the Wuzhen Alila Hotel by the IDE Group was a done deal. The contracts had been signed; you could say that except for not having undergone the integration, this young man was truly the new owner of the hotel...

And he, Zhu Kai, was still the hotel's general manager...

In other words, in a sense, this man was his boss...

Just think about it, if an emperor incognito paid a visit to the territory of one of his subjects, and the subject recognized the emperor, wouldn't he be nervous?

Gu Heng wasn't there to show off on purpose. Just as he was about to cut off the sycophantic talk, his gaze swept across and he saw a woman dressed in a small suit standing timidly among the management, looking at him with trepidation...

"Fang Xun?"

Hearing Gu Heng call out her name directly, Fang Xun also became awkward, not knowing where to put her hands for a moment...

Since Gu Heng had left Wuzhen, the two had not contacted each other. However, Fang Xun had often heard news about Gu Heng during this time and knew that the man she once had a brief affair with had now become the richest man in Hua Country...

This novel-like, dramatic scene left her at a loss for how to respond to Gu Heng...

After all, she never expected that Gu Heng would still remember her...

"Mr. Gu knows Manager Fang?"

"Manager Fang?"

Gu Heng repeated the title, puzzled.

"Yes, Fang Xun is the manager of our housekeeping department."

Hearing this, Gu Heng didn't bother with the other man, but walked straight up to Fang Xun, speaking with a mocking tone, "Tsk tsk, as expected, a woman's mouth deceives the devil himself. Didn't you say you were going to resign? How come you not only haven't resigned but have also become a manager?"

"I..."

Fang Xun was about to explain when Gu Heng raised his hand to interrupt her: "Alright, let's talk about this later. First, arrange a room for me."

Zhu Kai, with his keen senses, noticed that the relationship between Gu Heng and Fang Xun was no simple matter, and quickly said, "Mr. Gu, arranging a room will take a little time. How about you rest in our VIP room first? We'll notify you once the room is ready. How does that sound?"

Gu Heng nodded, not giving Zhu Kai a second glance, but smiling at Fang Xun, he said, "Let's go, Manager Fang. Will you show me the way?"

Feeling that Fang Xun still had the same approachable demeanor as a year ago, Fang Xun's restraint also lessened a bit. She did not refer to him as Mr. Gu as the others did, but used the name she was more familiar with to softly say, "Mr. Gu, please follow me this way."

As Gu Heng followed Fang Xun away, Zhu Kai and the rest also quickly followed...

And the waitstaff, doormen, and receptionists who had just been serving Gu Heng were still immersed in the revelation of his identity...

"That customer who tipped Li Qiang, was that Gu Heng? The 24-year-old billionaire?"

"My goodness, I told you no ordinary person would be so generous. Who gives tips in the thousands... Turns out it's the billionaire. Well, that's okay. Now not only do I not feel it's too much, but I even think it's a bit too little..."

"It should have been me to welcome him, but it started raining, and feeling lazy, I let the newcomer Li Qiang go. Not only did I miss out on a few thousand bucks in tips, but I also missed the chance to interact with a billionaire up close..."

The lobby manager walking at the back listened to these comments and turned to glare at them sternly, signaling them to be more careful with their words, then hurried to follow the others...

After all...

He wanted to brown-nose as well...

In the eyes of such high-level magnates, what's the difference between a lobby manager and a doorman?

Zhu Kai was part of the Hyatt Group's management. Once the hotel transitioned, he would likely leave the Alila Hotel and be transferred to another hotel...

But a middle manager like the lobby manager wouldn't have such luck...

Even if he couldn't get a high regard or a promotion from Gu Heng, he needed at least to familiarize his face to ensure he wasn't purged and fired after the hotel transition was complete...
