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

The two did not bring up the matter of looking at watches, instead they brought Gu Heng and his companions to the reception room...

After inviting Gu Heng to take a seat, the foreigner spoke, "Mr. Gu, the thing is, although you are our appointment client, we still hope you can provide an asset certification report."

Because the wristwatches we sell here at the Patek Philippe Origin Mansion are all high-end models, asset certification can greatly save time for both parties.

Of course, we do not intend to offend you in any way, and we hope you don’t mind."

Gu Heng was a little stunned upon hearing this...

He couldn’t help but turn his head towards Xu Ying...

He knew that some high-end properties required financial verification, but he really hadn’t expected that even looking at a watch would require it...

However, after thinking it over a bit, he could somewhat understand...

In a store selling such super luxury goods, where the price of a watch is higher, not unlike a house, without asset verification there would probably be many internet influencers coming in to freeload and check-in, which not only wastes the brand’s time but also creates a poor experience for those who genuinely want to purchase...

But the problem was...

He was unaware of this and had come straight here, so where was he supposed to get an asset proof for them now?

Xu Ying’s face turned pale when she heard what the Patek Philippe staff member said...

After being so cautious and attentive... she had still made a mistake...

Not being able to buy the watch was one thing, but causing Mr. Gu to lose face in front of so many people, all the blame would fall on her...

If Mr. Gu were to make a complaint against her when he got back...

Being fired might not be on the cards, but it was very likely she would be reassigned to another hotel within the group as an ordinary housekeeping manager...

"I’m sorry Mr. Gu, this was my mistake, I failed to understand the situation beforehand."

In the service industry, apologizing + making excuses = no apology at all.

Xu Ying did not make any excuses for her oversight, instead she took the fall for all the mistakes right away...

Yu Qianqian and others also hadn’t expected this situation and exchanged glances...

Gu Heng did not respond to Xu Ying, but took out his personal bank card from Construction Bank from his card holder and asked the person who had just spoken, "I remember that the POS machine can check the balance on the card, right? Maybe you could take a look at the balance?

If that’s still insufficient, I could make a call and have the bank send over an asset certification, would that be okay?"

Hearing Gu Heng’s words, the staff member quickly replied, "Some POS machines on the market can indeed display the balance, but querying transaction domains that fall outside the standard bank card acceptance terminals is illegal in Hua Country, so we are not authorized to do that...

However, having the bank send over an asset certification could work..."

Gu Heng nodded upon hearing this and immediately made a call to his client representative, Zhu Shuting.

Zhu Shuting had already finished work for the day...

But after hearing Gu Heng’s request and getting his precise location, she quickly agreed to help.

She then made a direct call to the Construction Bank Shanghai branch...

Only after the nearest branch to Gu Heng had received the notice and provided a confirmation did Zhu Shuting call back...

"Mr. Gu, we have notified the branch closest to you in Shanghai to print out the asset certification report, it will be delivered to No. 33, Zhongshan East Road, Bund Origin Building 2 within a maximum of 20 minutes."

"Thank you, Manager Zhu, for the trouble after work hours."

"You jest, Mr. Gu, for us, serving you does not depend on business hours, as long as you need us, we’re ready 24 hours a day."

"Alright, then that’s settled, I’ll invite you for a meal when I’m back in Hang City."

After exchanging a few more polite words, he hung up and turned his gaze to the two Patek Philippe service staff members.

Gu Heng had deliberately played the phone call on speaker, just to let the two of them listen.

At this moment, the reception room was unusually quiet...

Yu Qianqian had always thought that although Gu Heng was wealthy, he was probably only at her father’s level at most, but now she realized she might have been wrong...

The bank might be polite to her father, but they wouldn’t provide such considerate service, communicating across different branches from Hang City to Shanghai Construction Bank after work hours, just to deliver an asset certification report...

And Leyi, with her peach blossom eyes, was already starting to get teary-eyed...

She had never encountered such a situation before, but she couldn’t deny that Gu Heng at this moment was really handsome...

So much more appealing than those schoolboys who would set up heart-shaped candles beneath the dormitory building or take them for a drive in a so-called luxury car worth hundreds of thousands...

And Gu Heng, unaware of their thoughts, still looked at the two service staff and asked lightly, "This should be acceptable now, right?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hearing the unmistakable discontent in Gu Heng’s tone, the two staff members also felt a bit of a chill...

Requiring asset certification was a hard rule, and there was nothing they could do about it...

As for breaking the rules to use the POS machine to verify Gu Heng’s assets, they simply didn’t have the nerve; with the industry so competitive and the internal stakes so high, such an act, if reported, could cost them their jobs...

Thinking about this, the two could only produce a bitter smile and said, "We are truly sorry, Mr. Gu, the mistake regarding the regulation is ours, we will report it immediately to ensure such an incident doesn’t happen again."

The other foreigner, full of remorse, continued, "Mr. Gu, how about we accompany you around the showroom first, let you understand our brand culture?"

Gu Heng simply shrugged, "No need, I’ll take a look when the asset certification arrives. And please arrange for two different service staff members, that’s a request I’m entitled to make, right?"

He could understand Patek Philippe’s need for asset verification.

But that didn’t mean he had to accept it.

It was supposed to be a simple matter; he just wanted to spend some money.

Why did they have to force him to show off?
