How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 289 - 142 The Only Presidential Suite in the Country_3

However, Gu Heng wasn’t any warmer towards her because of this, and compared to the previous two, he was even slightly more distant...

After all, he didn’t harbor any grand ambitions...

He just wanted to fully enjoy the indulgent life bestowed upon him by the system...

There were plenty of beautiful women...

Not to mention the distant ones, even Kim Jisoo’s attractiveness was not inferior to hers. With such special status, Gu Heng, adhering to the idea of avoiding interactions if possible, smiled and nodded at her, then turned to Fu Songyang and asked, "Where are Brother Lu and Brother Liu?"

"Liu Wan went to handle some company matters and will be a bit late."

"As for Lu Yuan, he’s already on his way here."

While speaking, he seemed to remember something and handed a black membership card to Gu Heng.

"What’s this?"

"Didn’t we mention an A-level auto show in Beijing? This is my invitation card. I probably won’t be able to accompany you that day. It’s not open to the general public around the booth, it disrupts the viewing, so this will make things easier for you."

Gu Heng took the invitation card, expressing his thanks.

With this card...

He completely avoided the cliché scenario of being looked down upon at the car show and then furiously showing off to save face...

Well...

Not bad...

"Okay, the state banquet set I ordered today will take a while to prepare, so let’s each do our own thing for now. We can meet up at Fanghua Garden later. It’s Gu Heng’s first visit to Beijing, so I’ll take him around first."

Seeing that no one objected, Fu Songyang led Gu Heng out of the reception hall.

The previous manager, Manager Du, also came forward to greet them.

"Is Building 18 reserved?"

Manager Du quickly nodded: "I came to notify you about this. Your reservation was approved just now, and Building 18 is now available until 3 PM the day after tomorrow, for a total of two days."

Fu Songyang nodded and turned to Gu Heng, saying, "Usually, when someone joins my HAC club, I give them a gift. I gave Jiang Wen a modified engine from Koenigsegg.

I gave Lizi a Porsche 911 since she can’t be too conspicuous. A Porsche 911 is already the limit.

Now it’s your turn, and you are no exception. I have to give you a gift too."

Seeing Gu Heng’s puzzled look, Fu Songyang didn’t explain further but led him out of the reception building and got on the internal ferry vehicle...

Two minutes later, an ancient building appeared in front of Gu Heng...

Outside the building, there was a middle-aged man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses standing at the entrance with several attendants...

The driver parked the vehicle on the grass, and Fu Songyang led Gu Heng out of the car, saying with a smile, "This is the membership gift I am giving you."

Gu Heng: "???"

"Brother Yang, are you seriously giving me a building at the State Guesthouse?"

Hearing Gu Heng’s words, the proud smile on Fu Songyang’s face froze instantly...

"What are you thinking? I’m giving you two days’ accommodation, not a whole building!

Originally, I wanted to book three days for you, but next week we have foreign guests arriving, and after three days, this building will be closed for arrangements, so I could only book two days."

"???"

I’m staying perfectly well at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and now you help me book two days’ accommodation here?

While Gu Heng stared at him, utterly baffled, the middle-aged man waiting at the entrance approached them and said with a smile, "Welcome, Mr. Fu, Mr. Gu, to Building 18 of the State Guesthouse. I am Yi Fan, the assistant general manager of Building 18."

This man named Yi Fan, although still maintaining the respectful tone characteristic of the hospitality industry, had a fundamentally different demeanor from that of other hotel managers...

It was almost as if he was on official duties...

Fu Songyang nodded in response and smiled at Gu Heng, "Let’s go inside."

As they walked, Fu Songyang asked Gu Heng, "Gu Heng, guess how much it costs to stay here for a day?"

As a senior member of both the Hyatt and Marriott luxury hotel brands, Gu Heng was an experienced hotel guest and asked, looking at the setup inside, "Is it for just a single room or the whole building?"

Before Fu Songyang could answer, Yi Fan spoke up, "It’s for the whole building, and the staff here will only serve one person. Building 18 normally maintains a staff of 30, including 20 attendants and 10 chefs."

Gu Heng nodded, "Based on this setup, plus the premium of the State Guesthouse brand, it must be around 300,000 yuan a day, right?"

Fu Songyang knew Gu Heng would guess wrong and his mouth lifted in a mocking smile, "300,000 was the price 20 years ago. Guess again, think bigger!"

"500,000?"

"Mr. Yi, tell this young man how much it costs to stay here for a day."

Yi Fan promptly revealed, "Building 18 is only open to the outside when there are no important foreign guests to host, and it is open less than 60 days a year. Visitors enjoy the same treatment as foreign guests, and the meals are arranged at a state banquet level, thus the price is quite high, 680,000 yuan a day."

"So much?!"

Even someone like Gu Heng, accustomed to staying in presidential suites, couldn’t help but be surprised.

680,000 yuan a day?

So the cost of staying here for two days could buy a suite in an ordinary city?

Hearing Gu Heng’s amazement, Yi Fan continued to explain, "The construction cost of Building 18 was already 16 million in 1959, which at today’s exchange rates would be well over several billion. So, even without the specialty of Building 18, a daily cost of 680,000 yuan is not considered expensive."
