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

While Gu Heng was exchanging pleasantries with Fu Songyang and others, Tu Lei and Shu Yan, the group of corporate executives, swiftly joined Gu Heng.

"Mr. Gu, I just received a call from Mr. Chu's secretary. Mr. Chu, Mr. Li, and Mr. Hua's cars are almost at our building."

Gu Heng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He had taken the elevator and then chatted with Lu Yuan, Fu Songyang, and Principal Wang for so long that more than 10 minutes had passed, and it was about time they arrived.

With this thought, Gu Heng turned to Lu Yuan and the others with a smile, "Brother Lu, Fu, Principal, please excuse me for a moment; I need to go greet Mr. Chu and the others."

Hearing Gu Heng's words, Lu Yuan and the others quickly nodded their heads. Lu Yuan responded with a calmer demeanor, "Of course, our side is fine, go ahead and receive your important guests first."

Fu Songyang was more casual because he, being from Jingcheng, knew that Gu Heng had been dealing with Mr. Li, Mr. Hua, and other high-profile leaders lately. He even attended several meetings hosted by the Ministry of Industry, though he didn't know the specifics. Aware of Gu Heng's current high profile, Fu joked with a smirk, "Go ahead, treat them well, and if there's a chance, put in a good word for us too."

As for Principal Wang, since it was his first meeting with Gu Heng, it wasn't appropriate for him to say much; he just smiled and nodded.

The intimacy and distance in their relationships were clearly visible.

Gu Heng didn't say much more, just smiled at them and turned around, immediately shifting from a casual demeanor to a formal one.

"Clear out the intersection quickly, the reception department should soothe the other guests and explain the situation to them; I believe they will understand."

Tu Yong promptly responded, "It's already arranged, the guest passage is all clear, but the reporters are difficult to handle; we can only forcefully disperse them... but..."

"Don't tell me 'but', disperse all of them if needed, those willing to cooperate will receive some red packets as compensation after the event, and those who aren't, have security throw them out..."

"But..."

Tu Yong, intending to argue, instantly withheld further comment upon seeing Gu Heng's stern face, and immediately went off with others to organize the arrangements...

Gu Heng, the corporate executive, didn't care about offending the media, and he was only an employee. His boss's decisions were his to follow...

Soon enough, IDE Group's substantial security team was in full action, clearing away the reporters and internet celebrities gathered on the road in an unapologetic manner...

"What's going on? Your group invited us from Shanghai Finance to come here, and now you're pushing us out, what does that mean?"

"Yeah, use people when you need them but push them away when you don't, huh?"

"Damn it, I can't take this disrespect anymore, I'm done, I'm leaving!"

Faced with such harsh treatment, all the reporters displayed a demeanor filled with righteous indignation...

Some were invited by the IDE Group for a visit, yet they hadn't even entered the building when they began to be chased away, wasn't this a bit too oppressive?

Standing not far away, Gu Heng also heard these complaints but didn't care at all. Unpleasantly put, nowadays, many reporters did not need to be regarded with respect. Despite their current complaints, once a news opportunity arose, they would forget how Gu Heng treated them and would fawn over him to get a scoop and a performance bonus.

Conversely, if there was no news or hot topic, even if he treated them well, the journalists couldn't write much in his favor.

Apart from most mainstream media, he had no regard for these minor media outlets; they were no better than dirt to him.

If not for the strong insistence of the group's PR department to invite various media for coverage, Gu Heng wouldn't have invited these reporters...

Suddenly...

A convoy of cars appeared from afar...

Sharp-eyed reporters quickly noticed something different about this fleet...

Although these several old-model Mercedes-Benz S-classes were far less valuable compared to the earlier fleets of Maybachs and Bentleys...

But these government plates elevated the entire fleet's status more than just a notch...

But this was Shanghai...

In Shanghai, Mercedes-Benz S-classes with government plates, what level of leaders would those be?

Usually, the official cars for leaders of ordinary prefecture-level cities are just Audi A6s, even many provincial capitals do the same...

Shanghai, as the most economically developed city in the country, might have made some adjustments in allocating cars, but the Mercedes S-class remained the pinnacle of official cars...

For a moment, some reporters who initially planned to leave couldn't help but stop, redirecting their cameras toward the incoming convoy...

As the vehicles steadily parked, Gu Heng also adjusted his clothes and a standard smile appeared on his face.

"Follow me!"

He softly instructed to Tu Yong and the others behind him, then Gu Heng, with a smile brighter than the sunshine, quickened his pace forward.

The doors of several cars in the convoy opened almost simultaneously.

Hua Country is a nation that values etiquette and hierarchy.

In formal settings, the order of appearance is crucial...

Generally, the higher the status, the later the appearance; this is called the finale!

Although they arrived at the same time, the hierarchical order still mattered.

However, this time, with the three high-ranking officials of the same level arriving together, they stepped out almost simultaneously, which was a bit overwhelming for Gu Heng, who was experiencing this kind of event for the first time...
