Chapter 114 - 112: What Have These Girls Done Wrong?

Chapter 114: Chapter 112: What Have These Girls Done Wrong?

Late at night, the lights of Lujiazui were still as brilliant as ever.

Gu Heng and Wang Yan, surrounded by a flock of beautiful women, downed several glasses of whiskey. Finally, it was time for the main event of the evening: *Lu Xiaobu’s Ultimate Pool Party*!

The massive suite had numerous rooms of all kinds.

Gu Heng and Wang Yan got up, went into a room, and changed out of their expensive business attire into brand-new swim trunks they had prepared earlier.

The moment Gu Heng walked out of the room in his swim trunks, the eyes of every girl there were fixed on him, unable to look away. Their beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Wow! Chairman Gu has such a great body!"

"I copped a feel through his clothes just now, and I knew then that Chairman Gu had a good physique. Looks like I was right!"

"I just remembered, I’m out of my essence lotion. I want to get some from Chairman Gu!"

"Ooh, you little hussy. Was that a dirty joke?!"

"Chairman Gu’s body is practically a male model’s—broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs. He looks... powerful!"

"I’d love to give Chairman Gu an oral... calculation of his length. I’m just so curious!"

"No wonder you guys only work first or business class. You’re all so thirsty!"

...

Not far away, Jiang Ruan listened to the women’s whispered chatter. It was a real eye-opener for her.

She felt embarrassed just hearing those words, yet these women could say them so naturally, without batting an eye.

Jiang Ruan watched Gu Heng walk slowly toward the crowd, unable to stop herself from biting her lip.

As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she had to: Gu Heng was extraordinarily charming right now.

His looks, body, status, Wealth, charisma, and age were all top-tier. If you were to rate him on a stat chart, Gu Heng would be a "pentagon warrior"—completely maxed out with no weaknesses.

Hearing the "filthy language" around her, Jiang Ruan’s mind inexplicably drifted back to that one night.

’He doesn’t just *look* powerful...’

As the thought surfaced, a deep blush spread across Jiang Ruan’s pretty face.

...

After Gu Heng came out of the room, he faced the girls’ scorching gazes with a calm expression. Wang Yan was also a quick changer, emerging from the room just two minutes after Gu Heng.

"Holy shit!"

"My man, your physique is fucking incredible!"

"You’re making me look like a chump!"

Wang Yan stared at the fluid, aesthetic lines of Gu Heng’s muscles, his eyes widening as he couldn’t help but curse.

"Just some casual workouts."

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow, feigning nonchalance.

"Asshole!"

"What do you mean, ’casual workouts’!"

"You’re obviously proud of it, okay!"

Wang Yan lightly punched Gu Heng’s shoulder, laughing as he cursed.

"Is it that obvious?"

Gu Heng grinned. "You actually saw through me."

He had to admit, this feeling was pretty damn good.

The two bantered for a bit more as they walked toward the open-air infinity pool, surrounded by the women.

"My man, look, it’s already midnight."

"It’s about time we started the ’faction selection.’"

As he said those words, Wang Yan gave Gu Heng a look that said, "You know what I mean."

Gu Heng immediately understood what Wang Yan meant.

If what came before was a team battle, this was the start of the individual matches.

Key targets get key attention.

"Brother Yan, just tell me what the plan is."

In front of a princeling like Wang Yan, Gu Heng was no different from a greenhorn. All he had to do was listen, watch, and learn.

"Alright, everyone..."

"All of you, get in the pool now."

Wang Yan didn’t answer Gu Heng right away. Instead, he turned to the crowd of girls and urged them on.

Hearing Wang Yan’s command, the girls were all very obedient, jumping into the pool one after another like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Once all the girls were in the pool, Wang Yan took two stacks of rings from the suite’s female manager. He kept one stack and handed the other to Gu Heng.

"It’s simple. You’ve played ring toss, right?"

Wang Yan jutted his chin toward the girls in the pool. "Whoever you like, you toss a ring over her. Whoever you ring is yours for the night."

"Once the factions are decided, we’ll start the faction battle."

"The losing faction has to drink."

"As for who gets more people and who gets fewer, that’s all up to our luck."

Wang Yan didn’t lower his voice, so not only Gu Heng but also all the girls in the pool could hear him.

After hearing Wang Yan’s words, Gu Heng’s expression remained neutral, but inwardly he was deeply shaken.

It was only then that he truly realized that these great beauties, in the eyes of ordinary people, were nothing more than playthings to a top-tier aristocrat like Wang Yan.

Dignity?

No one cared about that at all.

Gu Heng noticed that after Wang Yan finished speaking, a few girls in the pool fell silent for a moment before quietly climbing out at the edge.

However, as soon as they got out, they were immediately led away from the scene by people like Shen Yan and Li Miao. The pleasant smiles they had when bringing the girls were now replaced with cold, stern expressions.

At the bar, Jiang Ruan watched this unfold, and her entire worldview completely shattered.

The profession she had once dreamed of now just made her feel disgusted.

’By his side...’

’At least I can live with dignity.’

Jiang Ruan sat on her high chair, looking down at Han Yijia standing in the water. She silently raised her glass and downed the last third of the drink inside.

"Get me another one."

Jiang Ruan ordered from the female bartender next to her.

Tonight, she really needed alcohol to numb herself.

...

Once the rules were explained, Gu Heng and Wang Yan began to act.

At first, Gu Heng was still a bit uncomfortable with this act of treating people like objects.

But when he saw the girls all looking at him with hopeful eyes, even actively sticking their heads out to be caught by the rings he threw, his heart was put at ease.

It was just like what Deng Chao said in the movie *The Mermaid*.

What did these girls do wrong?

They’re just a group of young people working hard to make money and achieve their dreams!

If I don’t give them opportunities like this, how will they earn money?

If they can’t earn money, how can consumer spending be stimulated?

And if consumer spending isn’t stimulated, how can the national economy grow?!

Once Gu Heng thought of it this way, he no longer felt any psychological burden.

At that moment, Han Yijia was standing near the back of the pool.

When she first heard the rules of the game, she had almost wanted to climb out of the pool too. After all, a game that trampled on human dignity like this was truly hard for her to accept.

But just as she was hesitating, she saw Jiang Ruan sitting on the high chair at the bar, looking down on her with what seemed like a contemptuous gaze. That look instantly provoked her.

’Why do you always get to have men’s affection so easily...’

’I’m going to steal it from you this one time!’

With this thought, Han Yijia proactively swam toward Gu Heng.

Because she deliberately moved closer, their gazes met in mid-air.

Han Yijia was quite confident in her own beauty. And sure enough, as soon as Gu Heng saw her, he tossed a ring in her direction.

Unfortunately, Gu Heng’s throw was a little weak.

Seeing this, a flash of anxiety crossed Han Yijia’s eyes.

So, she gritted her teeth, lunged forward, and caught the ring Gu Heng had thrown with her mouth.

"Oh?"

"A clever girl."

"President Shen, is this one of the girls you brought?"

Wang Yan’s eyes lit up when he saw this. "Not bad at all!"

At the edge of the pool, Shen Yan beamed upon hearing Wang Yan’s praise. She looked at Han Yijia in the center of the pool, finding her more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Does that count?"

Gu Heng asked Wang Yan beside him.

"Looks like this little lady really likes you. I wouldn’t want to steal her away from you."

Wang Yan waved his hand dismissively. "She counts as yours. Go on, go with him."

"Alright."

Gu Heng accepted without any pretense of politeness.

He bent down slightly and extended a hand to Han Yijia in the pool.

This was the first time Han Yijia had received such treatment since the game began.

"Thank you, Chairman Gu~"

Han Yijia’s eyes lit up, her voice soft and sweet. She reached out, took Gu Heng’s hand, and used his pull to get out of the pool.

It was unclear whether Gu Heng pulled too hard, Han Yijia’s foot slipped, or she did it on purpose, but as she got onto the deck, she fell directly into his arms.

In that instant, a cool, delicate body was in his embrace.

Seeing this, all the women in the pool cursed inwardly: ’Scheming bitch!’

But Jiang Ruan, who saw this from her seat at the bar, couldn’t help but suddenly tighten her grip on her glass. She then tilted her head back and, once again, drained the nearly full cocktail.

’Han Yijia!’

’I’ll never let you get what you want!’

’Never!’
