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

Sure, here is the translated text:

Alright then...

Gu Heng hadn't expected that spending 30,000 yuan would also give him a taste of private jet airport service...

A ground staffer and two airport security personnel were leading Gu Heng towards the VIP passage...

There's only this one airport throughout Yangcheng City...

And due to Dongguang Province's special geographical position, many tourists from Southeast Asian countries prefer to enter through Baiyun International Airport, which has resulted in Baiyun Airport being almost as busy as Hong Kong International Airport...

So there was Gu Heng, scrolling through TikTok, leisurely following the airport ground staff.

A few minutes into the walk, a burst of shrieking made Gu Heng frown and he couldn't help but look up...

A gaggle of vibrantly dressed young girls appeared before him, and the source of the shrieking was a large group of young men and women beyond the barrier of the VIP passage...

Gu Heng was momentarily taken aback by the sight...

He had often seen videos of fans flocking to airports to catch a glimpse of their idols...

Had he encountered some celebrity?

The VIP passage wasn't very spacious, and with these people motionless, he could only get stuck behind them.

About twenty or thirty people up ahead were blocking the way, slowly walking and greeting fans on the side...

Every time a female waved her hand, there was a wave of fan cheers...

Considering the circumstances, it probably would take at least ten minutes for this group of "celebrity idols" to get through the short passage...

Seeing this, the ground staffer turned to Gu Heng, whispering, "Mr. Gu, please wait a moment. I'll talk to the tourists ahead. Please wait for a few moments." Continue your journey with empire

Though he had used special passages many times, today was the first day he'd ever been held up in a VIP passage. If there were no rush, Gu Heng might even want to get a closer look at the idols driving all these crazy fans so mad...

But not today, as Lu Yuan had already informed him that he would reach the airport in a few minutes...

How could he let a tycoon from the Hurun Rich List who was coming personally to pick him up wait outside?

How great of face would that be?

At that thought, Gu Heng nodded and said, "Tell them to let me pass first before they continue. I have an urgent matter and must leave the airport within five minutes."

Hearing Gu Heng's request, the ground staffer was immediately prepared for action.

She was planning to communicate with the people ahead blocking the path, and at the same time, she had alerted the security personnel to be ready to clear the way if needed.

"Excuse me, you've occupied the VIP passage for too long, and it has begun to affect the normal flow of subsequent travelers. There is a traveler behind you who needs to pass through, please do not inconvenience others."

Upon hearing the ground staffer's voice, the SNH48 team's manager was momentarily startled...

He had led teams through the VIP passage many times, and this time wasn't the longest delay, nor the first to be hurried...

But considering at least half of the welcoming fans had been paid to be there, and the photographs weren't enough yet, how could they allow an early passage?

Wouldn't that make the money spent on hiring fans to welcome them go to waste?

With this in mind, the SNH48 team manager answered, "I'm sorry, the fans receiving us are too enthusiastic. If our artists don't cater to the fans' feelings and pass through quickly, it might negatively affect our artists' image.

You can negotiate with the traveler behind us; we will only delay at most ten more minutes."

Under normal circumstances, the ground staffer might have chosen to mediate, but today was different.

Her face still wearing a smile, her tone still polite and reverent, the words she spoke left no room for negotiation, "The person waiting behind is a special VIP guest of our airport, and he has an emergency that requires him to leave the airport within five minutes.

If you can't rapidly exit the VIP passage, we may need to deploy airport security to clear the VIP passage."

"Special VIP?"

The SNH48 team manager, surprised by the term, then asked, "Can I communicate with him directly?"

The ground staffer continued to smile but shook her head.

As they spoke, the security detail that the ground staffer had called for arrived...

Seeing this, the team manager had no choice but to compromise, urging the team's members to stop interacting with the fans and to hurriedly proceed through the VIP passage...

But the SNH48 members, who had already lost themselves in the cheering of the fans, didn't listen to him at all. They continued to block the passage, enthusiastically interacting with the fans and posing gracefully under the lights of the press...

Gu Heng, on the other hand, was quickly being ushered out of the VIP passage by the security personnel...

It didn't take long...

When the security personnel came into contact with the group of stars, they immediately started to form a human wall, creating a vacuum space around Gu Heng...

And the SNH48 group members, who had just been maintaining their idol image, were suddenly dispersed...

The fans, seeing their idols dispersed, started screaming from beyond the barrier...

The more extreme ones threw their unfinished beverage bottles over...

But the security, as if they weren't being targeted, still formed a solid barrier, tightly protecting Gu Heng in the center...

For a moment, Gu Heng couldn't tell if he was the celebrity, or if they were the real stars?

He had seen many videos of fans causing congestion at airports, where the celebrities were well protected, and it was the other travelers who were unlucky...

But this time, it was a complete role reversal...

The celebrities were scattered...

And he, the traveler, wasn't affected at all...

Witnessing this scene, Gu Heng couldn't help but smile...

He had often heard others claim that celebrities are nothing in front of the rich, that even top stars in the entertainment industry are just toys in the face of capital...

At that time, Gu Heng wasn't completely disbelieving, but he hadn't experienced it himself. Whether it was the wealthy or celebrities, both were far removed from his former life, beyond the sphere of what the old him could have encountered...

But today, he believed it...

This damnably captivating privilege of the wealthy...

It seemed to be drawing him in deeper and deeper...
