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

"All right, have them come over for a look; if they’re as you described, your performance tonight won’t be lacking."

"Got it! Mr. Gu, you go ahead and enjoy; I’ll contact them right now!"

Having said that, Manager Ma picked up the microphone and said to the line of hostesses, "All of you stay."

He didn’t need to say much more; these girls were true business elites, they knew exactly what to do.

With those words, Manager Ma hurried off to arrange part-time "princesses" for Gu Heng...

...

...

As Manager Ma left, the group of girls also loosened up.

They walked towards the sofa with light steps.

Since there were no single requests, they had some choice, the privilege to choose their male companions...

And naturally, the target was Gu Heng sitting at the center of the sofa...

They were all crafty foxes, each sharp as a needle, from Manager Ma’s attitude towards Gu Heng they already knew who was in charge in this private room, and who would bring greater benefits...

Gu Heng, watching a swarm of hostesses rush towards him, couldn’t help but frown and gave a side glance at Li Feng and the others sitting somewhat bewildered at the sides, and said bluntly, "What’s all this running over here for? Can’t you see?"

After speaking, he pointed to the girl closest to him, "She stays, the rest of you, to the sides!"

Hearing Mr. Gu speak, no matter how reluctant they felt inside, they had to disperse, each taking the arms of Li Feng, Li Haibin, and Song Hua...

The three who had been somewhat embarrassed now found themselves surrounded by beauties, and their mood instantly lifted; they all looked towards Gu Heng with grateful eyes in their gaze...

What is brotherhood?

This, damn it, is brotherhood, picking eight but only keeping one for himself, distributing the rest to his brothers!

As for the girl chosen by Gu Heng, her heart also filled with joy, and she softly took her seat next to Gu Heng, whispering, "My name is Wanwan, what’s yours, brother?"

Sniffing the fragrance of her, Gu Heng’s expression remained as usual.

People...

They grow up.

Put in the same situation a week and a half ago, with such a girl sitting next to him for his taking, he surely would have lost control.

But now...

Gu Heng admitted she was somewhat charming, and to his former self, who was a mere mutt, her allure would have been substantial, but he had evolved, becoming Mutt 2.0; she was no longer capable of disturbing his tranquility.

He then said indifferently, "Just sit next to me and play on your phone, and help me pour wine when I need it; you’ll get your tip as usual later."

Wanwan: "???"

Was she being looked down upon?

When Manager Ma called them over, he had said that the customers in this private room were very picky...

But far from being offended, all of them were eager and excited at the prospect.

Having been in the industry for a while, they knew well that picky customers typically correlated with generous spending; the pickier they were, the more lavish they became once they made their choice...

Especially since Manager Ma specifically mentioned that Gu Heng had booked the premium suite...

That had gotten them all excited, thinking they were in for a big payout tonight...

And now, having been selected by the wealthy patron Gu Heng, she thought she had become the sole lucky person, but right after she’d introduced herself, he barely gave her a second look before saying he just needed her to pour drinks?

If it was just for pouring drinks, why not call a waiter!

A waiter would pour all night for a 200 tip!

While her inner monologue railed with complaints, she dared not let any dissatisfaction show on her face and could only give a feigned nod of submission...

Gu Heng, observing her expression, didn’t waver at all, still leaning back on the sofa with his legs crossed, humming a song lightly.

After a while, seeing Li Feng and the others getting into the swing of things, Gu Heng started to feel somewhat bored and said to Wanwan, "Go help me pick a few songs."

"Ah? Okay."

"What songs do you want to pick, brother?"

Gu Heng thought for a moment, couldn’t think of any, and just said directly, "You decide; if I don’t like them, I’ll change them."

"Okay..."

Half a minute later, as the KTV’s screen lit up with the big characters "The Song for Myself," Gu Heng’s eyes lit up.

Unlike most of the OO generation who liked pop music, Gu Heng loved those classic oldies, especially ones by old artists like Li Zongsheng...

He hadn’t expected this girl Wanwan to understand him so well, picking the very song he wanted to sing first, he then grabbed the microphone from the table, saying, "This is it, keep picking more in the same style as this song."

[The Vow of an Old Love~

It’s just like a slap in the face~

Every time you remember a phrase~

You get a slap across the face~

And then for years on end~

Can’t Stand the Scent of Women~]

A simple song was quickly sung to its end, and applause followed promptly in the private room...

To be honest, Gu Heng’s singing wasn’t that pleasant to listen to, at most it could be considered tolerable...

Especially since he hadn’t heard this song in years, many parts were out of tune...

But what were these little sisters here for?

Professional flatterers!

No matter whether Gu Heng’s singing was barely bearable or truly awful, they could pretend they were hearing the voice of an angel...

The main thing they supplied was an emotional experience...

Li Feng looked at the little sister sobbing quietly beside him, filled with question marks and asked, "Why are you crying?"

"He sang so well, Mr. Gu must have been hurt deeply by a girl before, didn’t you hear the emotion in his voice?"

Your next read awaits at empire

Li Feng: "???"

How did he not hear it?

Even if there were emotions, was there a need to cry?

It’s a shame not to invite you as an audience to a singing contest...

...

In the following ten or so minutes, Gu Heng sung song after song, and although these girls were there to accompany Li Feng, Li Haibin, and Song Hua, their attention was entirely on Gu Heng. As soon as he finished a song, insincere praises and applause were dutifully delivered...

With such a supporting crowd, Gu Heng got carried away singing.

But it exhausted Wanwan, who was seated beside him. She hardly had a chance to warm her seat before having to change songs for Gu Heng, running back and forth almost a dozen times. With any dissatisfaction from Gu Heng, she had to get up again...

Seeing Gu Heng’s forehead slightly sweaty, she was filled with speechlessness...

It was her first time seeing someone come to a business KTV just to sing...

As the song ended, just as Gu Heng was about to tell her to change the song, Wanwan stood up, took a few tissues from the table, and gently wiped the sweat from Gu Heng’s forehead like a considerate girlfriend, her face revealing a faint, beautiful smile.

Gu Heng was not the least bit moved by her gesture, showing the demeanor of a Sigma male.

"Change the song."

Wanwan: "..."

But this time, she did not get up immediately to change the song...

She was a hostess.

Not a waitress.

She had her professional standards!

Making herself choose songs all night long, what kind of thing was that!

Thinking this, she mustered up her courage, her voice soft and weak, with a hint of frailty as she slowly said, "Bro, stop singing, let’s touch for a while..."

After speaking, she patted her thighs wrapped in black stockings...

That DuangDuang feeling was like Jelley, so bouncy...

Gu Heng, puzzled by her flirtatious manner, raised an eyebrow...

He knew this joke.

But wasn’t this woman getting it backward?

What did she mean by "stop singing, let’s touch for a while"?

Shouldn’t it be "stop touching, sing for a while"?

Just as Gu Heng was considering whether to ask this woman, who was disturbing his mental state, to leave, Manager Ma, who had been missing for almost half an hour, finally returned...

Approaching Gu Heng with a radiant smile, Manager Ma said, "Mr. Gu! Mission accomplished, everything is arranged, should I let them in now?"

Hearing Manager Ma’s words, Gu Heng nodded slightly.

Though he appeared calm on the surface, inside he was getting anxious...

Although he hadn’t sung in a KTV for a long time, who actually comes to a business KTV to sing songs! Even if one really wanted to sing, shouldn’t there be a girl to accompany the singing?

Watching Li Feng’s side near to drinking a wedding toast, having the time of their lives, he was in a hurry too...

He had even considered whether to just have some fun with Wanwan...

Now that Manager Ma had brought the part-timers over, he was intrigued to see what would happen next.
