How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 530 - 243 Charity Gala

"Mr. Gu, the Shanghai Municipal Government has already agreed to the deal."

"Oh?"

Gu Heng was sitting in his office, scrolling through TikTok just like any other employee slacking off, waiting for the workday to end.

Several days had passed since the lawsuit against the entire net, and the "Internet Violence Assistance Foundation" that Gu Heng had promised to the public was officially underway. Especially since this "Foundation" was co-organized with Hua Country's top ten law firms, all legal aid would be provided by lawyers from these top firms. Gu Heng's reputation alone might not be enough, but the joint statement from the top ten law firms took the nature of this "Foundation" to a climax…

While Gu Heng was indulging in online users' frenzied praise, with titles like "Conscientious Entrepreneur of Hua Country" and "Number One Post-2000s Person in Hua Country" being heaped upon him as if they were free, Jiang Ruxue's voice reached his ears.

He then turned off his phone and looked at Jiang Ruxue.

"It's like this, Director Shu Yan has spent over a month in Jingcheng, Shanghai, Yangcheng City, and Shenzhen, these four super first-tier cities, continuously scouting for the group headquarters building location, and she finally chose Shanghai.

There are currently no enterprises in Jingcheng that are willing to sell, and if our group were to build it, the construction period would likely exceed five years, mainly because it's too difficult to get the land approved in Jingcheng.

The situation in Yangcheng and Shenzhen is almost the same.

But Shanghai is different.

The Global Financial Center, Shanghai's second tallest building, was led by Japan Mori Building Corporation, and it was jointly invested in by over 40 enterprises from Japan, the United States, and others. However, due to shareholding changes over the years, the actual controlling companies have become CITIC Group, Japan Mori Building Corporation, and three American capital enterprises with cross-shareholding.

But due to policy changes in recent years, large real estate of this kind is no longer allowed to be entirely controlled by foreign enterprises, so Japan Mori Building Corporation and the three other American capital companies are interested in selling.

The Shanghai Municipal Government is willing to use their influence to connect and assist our group in acquiring this building.

The condition is that our group's registration must be changed to Shanghai, and we must become a tax-paying enterprise in Shanghai."

Gu Heng listened and nodded slightly.

To Gu Heng, the conditions of the Shanghai Municipal Government weren't really conditions.

To him, where is the company to settle down if not in Hua Country? Anyway, the tax rate in Shanghai is the same as in Jingcheng.

With this in mind, Gu Heng spoke directly, "Then just reply to Director Shu, tell her to handle this matter fully, and I'll personally go to Shanghai when it's time for the final negotiations."

"Understood."

Jiang Ruxue quickly noted down Gu Heng's words and then continued, "Mr. Gu, a few days ago there was an invitation to a charity event. I mentioned it to you at the time, but you were dealing with the defamation case and didn't give me a direct answer.

Today, the officials from the charity event called again to inquire if you had time to attend."

"A charity event?"

"Yes, it's a charity gala hosted by Tencent Film, and there will also be a charity auction, mainly for raising educational funds for kids in impoverished mountain areas. These kinds of events are held many times every year, and they are usually led by companies from the entertainment industry, mostly for the sake of reputation, and they aren't significantly meaningful.

If you're not interested, Mr. Gu, I'll decline on your behalf, citing your busy schedule."

After hearing Jiang Ruxue's words, Gu Heng stroked his chin, pondered for a few seconds, and then responded, "Don't decline it, as I'm relatively free these days. I'd just be lying in bed playing on my phone at home, so since there's an event, I might as well go and take a look."

Jiang Ruxue, like a precise secretary robot, nodded immediately upon hearing Gu Heng's response, "Then I'll go back to Tencent Film and ask for the specific address."

"Mhm."

...

...

At 7 p.m.

The night had fallen in Jingcheng.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Ruxue attentively smoothed out the slight wrinkles on Gu Heng's clothes...

Although Gu Heng couldn't be considered extremely handsome, his height and physique were very good, especially with the deliberately cultivated aura of a leader over this period, and in a deep black bespoke Armani suit, he looked extraordinarily noble. Even Jiang Ruxue, who always had a cold demeanor, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment at the sight of Gu Heng…

"Do I look very handsome?"

Seeing Jiang Ruxue's expression, Gu Heng couldn't help but tease.

After all, bespoke tailoring is bespoke because it's made for one person. From the simple details of a sleeve to the overall style of the cut, everything was perfectly suited to Gu Heng, and the price was exorbitant…

Having signed a one-year bespoke suit deal with Armani for 6.5 million a year, every quarter he had two sets of suits tailored specifically for him, meaning just this outfit alone was nearly worth a million...

Hearing Gu Heng's banter, even the normally cold Jiang Ruxue felt a bit embarrassed, turned her head to one side, and did not respond.

Seeing Jiang Ruxue ignore him, Gu Heng didn't continue the jest but started to assess her attire.

Jiang Ruxue had also switched into an evening gown, different from a skirt dress; her gown was more androgynous, with the upper and lower parts thoroughly covered, yet it still revealed a sense of noble beauty...

Even after spending so much time together day and night, Gu Heng still felt a bit dazzled...
