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

He immediately stood up and addressed the Peking University leadership,

"Sorry, teachers, I'll assign a professional to follow up on the fund establishment. I have something to attend to this afternoon and need to head to Yangcheng City. My flight is taking off in half an hour, and I must rush there now."

"Which airport?"

"Capital International Airport."

Liu Qiao frowned upon hearing this,

"Just book the next flight, from Yan Garden to Capital International Airport it's at least 40 minutes at the fastest, there's not enough time."

Gu Heng shook his head helplessly,

"There's no way to catch the next flight, the final meeting regarding the International Racetrack project with Yangcheng City officials is at 3 p.m. My company secured a 20% share, and this afternoon we're negotiating the final investment funds."

"The Yangcheng International Race Track? That's no small project, is it?"

All of them were magnates, and for Yangcheng City's biggest project of 2024, even if they were not familiar with it, they had definitely heard of it...

A project worth nearly twenty billion...

Gu Heng securing a 20% share...

That was an investment of several billion...

No wonder Gu Heng could dismiss a sum over a hundred million without a second thought...

Gu Heng didn't explain too much but once again apologized to everyone and then took out his phone. While making a call, he started walking out of the conference room...

Meanwhile, Peking University's leadership silently watched Gu Heng leave...

They were well aware of Gu Heng's status...

Everyone knew that the EMBA was just a means to gild one's resume, established with the purpose of generating revenue for the school...

But unexpectedly, during today's enrollment, they snagged a big fish...

In less than a month after joining, he had already donated 10 million to the school, and now he was planning to establish a scholarship fund with 140 million...

The name Gu Heng now left a profound impression in the minds of these big shots...

Liu Qiao especially...

He wished he could grab Gu Heng and plant a big kiss on him...

Right in the critical period of competing for the vice-principal position, Gu Heng kept delivering achievement after achievement for his benefit...

Even his own son wasn't this dear to him...

Liu Qiao was now consumed with thoughts on how to reciprocate Gu Heng's actions...

...

...

Having stepped out of the conference room, Gu Heng was now rapidly walking toward the parking lot...

He directly called Will Riggs on his phone.

The call was quickly answered...

"Mr. Gu, is there an issue with the use of the black card?"

Normally, Gu Heng might make some small talk, but with time being tight, he had no interest in banter. He went straight to the point,

"I remember you saying that one of the privileges of the black card was to hold a flight from taking off, is that correct?"

Will Riggs immediately sat upright upon hearing this,

"Yes, Mr. Gu, do you have a need?"

"I have an important meeting in Yangcheng City at three this afternoon, and I'm still in the capital. The flight takes off in over half an hour, but it might take me an hour to get to the airport. Is it possible to delay the flight by half an hour?"

"Which airline? Which flight?"

Will Riggs was succinct.

After Gu Heng informed him of the flight details, he received a prompt response.

"Hainan Airlines is a partner of our company; it should be manageable. Mr. Gu, you can now head to the airport. I'll contact Hainan Airlines' emergency office and also get in touch with Capital International Airport to prepare for your expedited boarding at the earliest convenience!"

"Thanks."

"It's our honor to serve you, Mr. Gu."

With those words, Will Riggs mobilized all the staff he could to start addressing Gu Heng's issue...

This was the first time Gu Heng was exercising his black card privileges and there absolutely could not be any mistakes.

At this moment, Gu Heng had already taken his seat behind the wheel and was driving to Capital International Airport at top speed...

All the while driving, he marveled at the allure of special privileges...

Though the black card couldn't provide an unlimited credit line domestically...

All the expected privileges were undiminished...

There was no way he could miss his flight...

Why not just have the plane delay its takeoff?
