How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?-Chapter 448 - 205: Tax Filing for 7 Billion?!_2

Lin Jiayun and He Jing certainly knew this balding old man was the boss of Wuyou Media...even at the peak of their own popularity, they would have had to look up to him. Yet due to Gu Heng, this once unapproachable figure was now nodding and greeting them humbly; they didn’t even know how to describe this feeling...

He Jing’s bottom line was violently struck once more, almost shattering...

And the hand that Lin Jiayun wrapped around Gu Heng’s arm subconsciously tightened a bit more...

Although he roughly guessed their thoughts, Gu Heng didn’t make any particular gesture, simply speaking indifferently, "Now that we all know each other, shall we go in?"

Lei Yibin slapped his forehead, feigning irritation, "Look at my memory, I kept Mr. Gu standing at the door for so long. Mr. Gu, please come inside."

With that, he led Gu Heng toward the reserved private room...

Cheng Yuxin had spent the whole afternoon brainwashing herself, still undecided about whether she should proactively offer herself to Gu Heng until she saw Lei Yibin’s attitude toward Lin Jiayun and He Jing, which finally made up her mind...

Cheng Yuxin knew Lin Jiayun and He Jing; they had met a few times.

The previous Cheng Yuxin would have looked down on them, for they were merely minor online celebrities at best, not comparable in scale or potential to herself...

So why were these insignificant Internet stars considered by her own boss today, enough to greet them proactively? Why?

All of it was because of the young man before her...

Women are so competitive...

At this moment, she thought, if Lin Jiayun and He Jing – those inferior to her – could, why couldn’t she?

...

...

Inside the private room.

Seven or eight carefully selected Internet celebrities were sitting anxiously at the table.

This afternoon, Lei Yibin had given them some autonomy.

But tonight it was mandatory...

Lei Yibin had spoken to almost every one of them...

If Gu Heng didn’t take to any of them, that was fine; they could carry on with their work as usual, and Lei Yibin would not force them.

But if Gu Heng showed favor towards any of them, yet she still played hard to get, acting coy and enticingly resistant, thus angering Gu Heng, then they could forget about any exposure for the remainder of their contracts...

In the entertainment industry, the subtext of this was a ban...

As the private room door pushed open, the first figure to appear before the Internet celebrities was the balding Lei Yibin; his face was all smiles, not at all concerned about losing face in front of his employees, he doubled as a lackey to Mr. Gu, saying, "Mr. Gu, please come inside."

After him entered Gu Heng, with Lin Jiayun and He Jing...

"Mr. Gu, please take this seat."

Lei Yibin reserved the seat of honor for Gu Heng, with two adjacent seats for He Jing and Lin Jiayun. He sat elsewhere, addressing the company’s Internet celebrities, "You’ve all met Mr. Gu this afternoon; say hello to Mr. Gu."

"Hello, Mr. Gu."

"Hello, Mr. Gu."

Just as Gu Heng sat down, he saw the seven or eight Internet celebrities stand up and greet him with sweet voices...

This scene was a bit like the time during the New Year at the business KTV where a group of hostesses greeted him...

The only difference might be that the venue had changed to Xinrongji’s private room...

And the hostesses had turned into Internet celebrities, each boasting millions of followers, including several whose names he couldn’t recall but looked somewhat familiar...

Although a bit more upscale, the essence remained the same...

This scene was something he couldn’t have dreamt of back when he was a lackey; but now, it didn’t seem to evoke much feeling...

Thinking this, Gu Heng let out a yawn and extended his hand slightly downward, signaling for them to sit...

Lei Yibin was about to introduce them to Gu Heng, but noticing his somewhat displeased expression, he tensed up, hurriedly saying, "I thought a private meal with the company executives might not be proper, so I brought the artists for a lively atmosphere. If Mr. Gu is not satisfied, I can ask them to leave?"

But Gu Heng shook his head, "Mr. Lei, don’t overthink it, I just suddenly remembered something, I’m not dissatisfied.

And since they’re here already, why send them back? Mr. Lei, you’re not particularly judicious as a boss, who treats their employees this way?"

"Yes, yes, you’re right, Mr. Gu."

Knowing that Gu Heng was not dissatisfied, Lei Yibin finally relaxed.

Gu Heng has now become her own sugar daddy. No matter the request, reasonable or otherwise, as long as she could fulfill it, he wouldn’t hesitate for a moment. Not to mention letting internet celebrities take turns. As long as Gu Heng isn’t disgusted by it, even if she had to perform a striptease, he would agree.

Just a striptease could pull in an investment of several billion; countless bosses around the world would scramble to dance in front of Gu Heng.

...

After some casual small talk, the dishes were served one after another.

And these weren’t just any ordinary dishes. They were special dishes not even listed on the menu...

With over ten people in the private room, the meal was set to cost at least a few tens of thousands to start, and breaking into six figures wasn’t impossible...

For Gu Heng, such culinary delights could only be considered as home cooking, but for He Jing, Lin Jiayun, Cheng Yuxin, and those internet celebrities, this was quite a luxury. Had Lei Yibin and Gu Heng not been present, they would have already started taking photos. Just this table’s spread would provide enough content for their Moments for a week...

Lei Yibin was very considerate, not mentioning anything about investments throughout the meal, occasionally asking the internet celebrities to put on a little show to lighten the mood. Over half an hour passed, and the dinner quickly reached its midpoint...

Suddenly...

Gu Heng’s phone rang.

The internet celebrities who were previously chatting and flattering Gu Heng all fell silent in an instant. The atmosphere inside the room also suddenly quieted down.

"Hello?"

"I’m at Xinrongji right now, and I have the USB drive on me. Just have the waiter guide you to private room 6."

Lei Yibin saw Gu Heng hang up and then inquired, "Is a guest coming? Should I add a few more dishes?"

Gu Heng waved his hand, "No need. I had someone come over to help me handle my tax matters this afternoon. They just arrived from Jingcheng."

"Alright then."

Lei Yibin was also witnessing for the first time someone like Gu Heng who was so proactive about paying taxes...

Every time he had to pay taxes himself, he would wish to delay it for a decade or more, only addressing it when he could no longer put it off...

"Knock, knock, knock."

As the private room door was knocked on, a waiter entered with two men and two women.

"Mr. Gu."

IDE Capital didn’t have many employees at the moment, and although Gu Heng might not have remembered their names, he definitely recognized them.

Seeing them enter, Gu Heng didn’t dawdle and directly took out the USB drive given to him by the system from his pocket, handing it to the employee closest to him, "The data is quite extensive, so spend some time over the next few days to thoroughly review it and compile it into a printed report.

I have also booked rooms for you at the adjacent Quan Ji Hotel, you can work there."

Gu Heng had only glanced briefly at the data in the USB drive. To print it all out, it would likely take a few thousand sheets of paper.

Every transaction in the system was very logical, with the highest single income being 1.7 billion US dollars and the lowest being 1,200 US dollars. All were profits from nearly ten thousand accounts in the foreign exchange market, then consolidated and transferred to a Swiss Bank...

But this kind of operation was the most standard...

The financial market is vast, but if a single account profited by several billion US dollars, it would still attract the attention of the capital market.

Only such small account transactions could be the safest.

Taking the USB drive from Gu Heng’s hand, that employee simply asked, "Mr. Gu, do you have an estimate of the tax amount to report? We could use that figure to cross-reference when preparing the declaration materials."

"File personal income tax at the highest tax rate of 45%. The tax amount should be around 7 billion. When you prepare the declaration materials, make sure to keep several copies for backup and coordinate with the business administration department."

Gu Heng’s calm words dropped, and the entire room fell silent...

Even the employees who had come from Jingcheng to handle Gu Heng’s tax issues couldn’t help but freeze on the spot, let alone Lei Yibin and the others...

Paying 7 billion in taxes?!

And that at the highest personal income tax rate of 45%?

Was Gu Heng seriously not doing any tax avoidance?

And that’s not even the key point. The key point was that even at the highest tax rate, to owe 7 billion in taxes, his income must have been over 15 billion...

Lei Yibin didn’t think Gu Heng was bragging, because there was no need...

Only those who don’t have would boast to seek attention, and Gu Heng truly had...
