How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 444 - 204: Online Public Opinion

"Everything has been said to this extent," Lei Yibin could only muster a bitter smile...

Gu Heng might not care, but he couldn’t afford not to care. Wuyou Media had already fallen behind by a large margin, and if they continued to lag, it was possible that in another two years, when people mentioned Wuyou Media, it wouldn’t be as one of the [top ten MCNs] anymore, but as an internet celebrity agency eliminated by the market...

With this thought, Lei Yibin adjusted his expression and then his tone became even more ingratiating, "Mr. Gu, do you have time later? I’ve already had someone reserve a private room at Xinrongji just a moment ago, hoping you would honor us with your presence."

It was no wonder Lei Yibin was so humble...

In the entire capital market, which enterprise seeking financing wasn’t like this?

Of course, those desirable projects that attracted eager investors, like Alibaba and Byte from the past, were certainly not among them, but it was clear that Wuyou Media was not, and there weren’t many capital investors who coveted this small and pitiful piece of the pie.

Having said this, Lei Yibin looked earnestly at Gu Heng...

If Gu Heng was interested in investing, then tonight’s dinner would surely receive consideration.

But if he refused, it would mean that everything Gu Heng had just said was merely perfunctory...

Gu Heng guessed Lei Yibin’s thoughts and, feigning deliberation, hummed in thought for two seconds before nodding slightly, "Alright then, I’ve just arrived in Hang City not long ago, and I haven’t figured out dinner yet. Since Mr. Lei is so gracious, I won’t stand on ceremony."

Gu Heng was indeed somewhat interested in Wuyou Media...

Although he didn’t expect it to make money for him, as a large-scale beauty contest organizer, the number of internet celebrities joining each year was significant. It was like keeping a reserved plot for himself. If ever he wanted a change of taste, he could just pick a few from Wuyou Media...

He had no sense of moral obligation, after all, this was how the world played the game. Why should he pretend to be above it all?

When you have money...

You ought to treat yourself better...

Lei Yibin heaved a sigh of relief in his heart upon receiving Gu Heng’s response. Although the investment was not yet certain, as long as Gu Heng was interested, that was enough. He would have to work harder later on, possibly pulling this new power player in the investment industry onto his boat.

Seeing how humble Lei Yibin was behaving, Cheng Yuxin felt nothing but surprise...

Was this their company’s autocratic Mr. Lei who brooked no dissent?

Was this the same Mr. Lei before whom everyone trembled and dared not backtalk?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt as if her world was being turned upside down...

Her gaze unconsciously shifted towards Gu Heng sitting beside her...

Having mingled in the circle of internet celebrities for over two years, having followed Lei Yibin and met quite a few industry tycoons or rich second-generation heirs, she realized that compared to Gu Heng, these so-called moguls and wealthy heirs seemed like jokes...

To treat an investment of several billion like a casual affair, how many in the entire country had such capability? Even if they could be found, they were business magnates who had been dominating for decades, weren’t they? Those big shots could still be called "young" in their fifties or sixties, while Gu Heng was even two years younger than herself, there was no comparison...

Her previous fears were simply because she hadn’t met Gu Heng; she knew he was wealthy but had never felt it intuitively.

But now she had a very direct experience...

After all, even her boss had to tread carefully around him...

If she could forge some relationship with Gu Heng, wouldn’t that mean she’d really be soaring high, like a phoenix spreading its wings?

At this thought, Cheng Yuxin snuggled a bit closer to Gu Heng, and the distance between them narrowed. The fragrance of her perfume began to seep into Gu Heng’s nostrils...

Lei Yibin nodded to himself at this scene...

These internet celebrities might be timid, but they were adept at ingratiation. If they could really get Gu Heng interested in investing, Cheng Yuxin’s value would be proven. Even if not, just enhancing Mr. Gu’s favorable impression a little would be worth it...

Gu Heng also noticed Cheng Yuxin’s subtle movements, but simply curved the corner of his mouth without acting or rejecting.

As for internet celebrities...

No matter how big they were, they weren’t worth wasting his energy. He Jing and Lin Jiayun were exceptions, as he had personal connections with them.

As for this Cheng Yuxin, what did she count for? Why should he take the initiative?

But if she really threw herself at him, he would certainly not refuse.

Suddenly...

Lei Yibin thought of something and cautiously asked Gu Heng in an inquiring tone, "By the way, Mr. Gu, do you usually pay attention to online public opinion?"

"Hmm?"

Gu Heng looked at him, puzzled.

Seeing this, Lei Yibin quickly continued, "The thing is, some negative news about you, Mr. Gu, has been circulating over the Internet these past few nights, and it’s gotten quite big, even hitting the trending searches...

I mean no offense, but if you need help, I could lend a hand.

Our company’s public relations department has dealt with many such cases. I might not have much say on Weibo, but on Byte, I can still speak up a little."

Lei Yibin was now pulling out all the stops for the investment.
