How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 534 - 245: Dispelling Rumors, Gu Heng and Ouyang Nana are not in a Scandal...

The entertainment industry is well-informed.

IDE Capital's involvement in the entertainment and film industry was not a well-guarded secret, so not only did big capitals like Wanda Film and Tencent Film know about it, but also some celebrities who often had good relationships with investors were aware of the news.

As the party progressed, more and more people came up to Gu Heng to offer a toast.

Most of them Gu Heng couldn't name, but they all looked very familiar...

Watching this group of stars, who once seemed so superior, now desperately trying to display their humility before him, Gu Heng felt nothing. These so-called stars were no different to him now than the internet celebrities who, just a while ago, were vying for his favor for a million on the bar stage with their seductive gestures.

If there really was a difference, it might be that the stars had a slightly higher 'force', requiring more money to kneel before him. Having figured this out, Gu Heng just shook his head internally, maintaining a neutral expression as he politely clinked glasses with the crowd, barely sipping the champagne. After receiving toasts from more than a dozen people, he hadn't even drunk a third of a glass...

A single glass shared with over a dozen people was quite dismissive.

But this was the social circle of the entertainment industry, with a strict hierarchical system.

Capital is capital, and it always stands at the very top of the food chain in the circle.

For them, the fact that Gu Heng would stoop to clink glasses with them was already an honor, how could they dare ask for more?

...

Those who mixed in the entertainment industry, whether big stars or lesser-known ones, had mastered the art of observing words and colors and gauging situations. As time slowly passed, another group of stars, who hadn't dared to step forward earlier due to their lower status, also began to feel tempted...

Everyone knew how beneficial it would be to win the favor of capital investors in the future...

Even if they couldn't make Gu Heng remember them, just being vaguely recognized by him at this cocktail party was a huge win. Who knows, maybe Gu Heng would spontaneously remember them when deciding on a cast for a movie, and wouldn't that bring immense fortune?

Gu Heng appeared so approachable, clearly not refusing any comers...

The more they thought about it, the more they couldn't contain their thoughts...

Soon, some more daring stars, holding their wine glasses, hurried over to Gu Heng...

With the first one approaching, there came another...

In just a few minutes, Gu Heng's side had become the center of the entire cocktail party...

Gu Heng looked at the scene in front of him, a trace of impatience subtly flashing across his face...

The reason he interacted with those top-tier, frontline stars was mainly for the newly established IDE Film, considering these people were all money pots, potentially useful in the future. It wasn't too much of a loss to spend some time appeasing them...

But what about this later group?

He didn't recognize a large part of them.

He wasn't there to be a social butterfly; dealing with these people was just a waste of time.

Luckily, Jiang Ruxue, who had been observing Gu Heng, noticed his impatience and immediately stepped in front of him, politely saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

Mr. Gu has already had enough today, and he has two important meetings tomorrow. I hope you can understand."

Hearing Jiang Ruxue's words, people couldn't help but glance at the champagne glass Gu Heng had been holding from the start, then at the champagne that was still mostly left in the glass, feeling somewhat speechless...

This excuse was really far-fetched...

But they had no choice, as his secretary had already started blocking people. If they continued to rush forward rudely, it would no longer be flattering but offensive...

Those who came late and were still lining up also couldn't help feeling frustrated...

If only they hadn't held back and had come forward earlier to make themselves known...

They had just missed an incredible opportunity...

Despite their frustration, the crowd behaved quite well. After Jiang Ruxue finished speaking, one young male actor in his thirties said, "It was presumptuous of us, mainly because meeting a major figure like Mr. Gu, it would have been too regrettable not to know him.

Although Mr. Gu can't drink anymore, I still have to give my toast."

After saying this, he downed the drink in his glass...

And Gu Heng did not skimp on his appreciative glance at the actor.

He liked such sensible people who both flattered him and saved his face. Immediately, smiling, he said, "I remember you, Zhu Yilong, right? I've seen the movies you've acted in, your acting is very good, we might have opportunities to collaborate in the future."

Zhu Yilong was momentarily startled upon hearing this, then quickly masked the joy on his face, maintaining a neither servile nor overbearing attitude as he thanked Gu Heng.

As for others who heard Gu Heng's words, they also began to follow suit, with one flattering remark after another...

But clearly,

Gu Heng was not buying it.

He simply nodded in acknowledgment, not saying another word.

The host, Sun Zhonghuai, also timely said to Gu Heng, "Mr. Gu, it's about time. The charity auction will begin in less than half an hour. Shall we go to the banquet hall and talk slowly?"

Gu Heng had had enough of this atmosphere and quickly nodded, "Let's go."

Saying this, Sun Zhonghuai, Zhang Genming, Gu Heng, and a few other capital magnates left the executive lounge amidst a crowd...
