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

Gu Heng pulled out a cigarette and was about to light it when he saw the room full of firecrackers and fireworks, so he had to walk a few steps forward, leaving the range of the fireworks store before lighting it, then glanced at her and said, "No way, no way, you don't think I bought all these fireworks just to show you, do you?"

Lin Ran didn't say anything, just stared straight into Gu Heng's eyes.

This time, Gu Heng was the first to yield...

But he still stubbornly said, "I've had this idea since I was a kid.

You know those small fireworks tubes?"

"What small fireworks tubes?"

"The kind you hold in your hand, light it, and after lifting it, it just 'whooosh' 'pop' goes up into the sky, much smaller than fireworks."

"And then?"

"When I was a kid, I used to love setting these off, but when it came time to prepare for the New Year's goods, my dad usually only bought me one pack, and a pack had just ten of them.

These ten I still had to save for the New Year's celebration.

Back then I swore, when I grew up and had money, I'd buy a hundred big fireworks and set them all off at once! So now you know, huh? Making a Vlog for you was just incidental; I just wanted to fulfill my childhood dream!"

"You had quite a few dreams as a kid, did you plan to accomplish them one by one?"

Gu Heng took a deep breath of smoke, exhaling rings one after another, and said faintly, "Where can all be accomplished? If I think of it, I satisfy myself; if not, I let it go.

Even now that I can, it doesn't have the same feeling as when I was a kid. A poor family's child, even dreaming of legitimately farting was a dream.

Back then, I also dreamed of eating KFC every day; now, not to mention eating it daily, even opening a store and serving only myself would be doable, but what's the point?"

Lin Ran remained silent...

...

While the two were chatting, the shop owner along with his wife, son, grandson, and a big family of over a dozen people, had placed all one hundred of the fireworks on the open ground.

Panting, the owner walked up to Gu Heng, smiling broadly, and said, "Young man, all the fireworks are ready for you."

During the conversation, he couldn't help but glance a few more times at Lin Ran...

No wonder Gu Heng could afford to spend over twenty thousand on fireworks for fun...

If he had such a beautiful girlfriend in his younger days, he too would have been willing to splurge like this...

"Boss, if it's not too much trouble, can you help me light them? With these hundred fireworks, it'll take me forever alone…"

Having earned quite a sum from Gu Heng, the owner didn't hesitate and smiled, "Okay!"

Then he turned to his sons and grandchildren, "Don't hurry back home; let's help this young man get these fireworks going, he can't manage them alone."

The owner's grandsons and granddaughters, all teenagers, upon hearing this immediately jumped up in excitement and hurried inside to grab some lighters...

A few minutes later...

Gu Heng and the owner's family all stood in front of their assigned fireworks...

With one hundred fireworks and over ten people, each person only had to fire about seven or eight...

Gu Heng plucked the half-smoked cigarette from his lips and called out to Lin Ran, who wasn't far away, "Are you ready?!"

"Yep, ready!"

Lin Ran held up the camera, nodding like a pecking chicken.

Gu Heng took a deep breath, then gave the command to the owner's family, "Start!"

Having spoken, he shakily stretched the cigarette end toward the fuse...
Stay tuned for updates on empire

"Ssszzzz~"

The fuse was quickly ignited, and Gu Heng ran to the next firework, repeating the process...

"Whoo~"

"Bang~"

As the first firework soared into the sky, the subsequent fireworks continuously burst into the night sky...

A fireworks display might seem mundane when done alone, but one hundred fireworks set off together were absolutely spectacular, turning the night almost into day with their countless blooms...

Many people who were at home watching TV came out upon hearing such loud explosions, taking out their phones to capture it...

After finishing the fireworks assigned to him, Gu Heng threw away the cigarette butt and quickly ran up to Lin Ran, shouting, "Did you get that on film?!"

"Got it!"

"Good."

After saying this, Gu Heng looked up at the sky fireworks, his mouth curving into a smile, a series of "woo-hoos" screamed out from his mouth...

Lin Ran, watching Gu Heng laughing like a child, could not resist turning the camera to Gu Heng's side face...

[The host gifted a beautiful woman a grand fireworks display, simultaneously fulfilling a childhood dream and indulging heartily. Reward: 1.8 million yuan, balance: 81.3 million yuan.]

Lin Ran had seen fireworks displays...

But those costing tens to hundreds of millions paled in comparison to tonight's...

This time, it was exclusively hers.
