Reborn with Consumption System

Bai Yuqiu in such a state was all too familiar to Gao Diaomao.

No talent for business, no opinions on big matters, easily bullied by her mother-in-law while Gao Shen didn’t care, she just swallowed her pride.

Gao Diaomao’s suspicions had already lowered to below the warning line, but he still made a final test.

"You have doubts about any price I offer now. How about this, you ask Teacher Han when you get a chance? If he’s interested, I’ll let him take the shares; if not, he can at least help you set a fair price, how about that?"

"Ah... okay then."

Bai Yuqiu thought it over and nodded, torn.

"Little Xue has class and couldn’t come. I’ll discuss it with her when I get home and have her ask Teacher Han for me."

"Sure."

Gao Diaomao nodded gracefully and bid her farewell.

"That’s it then. Take some time to rest, and if you need to, go out and clear your mind. Things have passed, and you need to learn to look ahead."

A perfect act of a doting father, indeed.

And so they parted ways.

Gao Diaomao instructed Duan Xiaolong to take good care of his sister and hurried back to the company to handle follow-ups.

After probing Bai Yuqiu, he felt that the situation wasn’t as dire.

At the shareholders’ meeting, Han Lie didn’t show up himself, only sent an assistant who hasn’t even graduated yet.

Moreover, the assistant agreed to his resolutions without objection, and the board was given full authority, with no hindrance to his exercising the creditor’s rights. It seemed he truly didn’t care about company governance.

There was no flaw on Bai Yuqiu’s end either, probably just overthinking it...

Despite this, Gao Diaomao still placed a call to Han Lie.

"President Han, do you have a moment? Old Gao here needs to report the meeting situation to you!"

Han Lie’s voice seemed a bit impatient: "President Gao, this is pointless. You’re the real estate expert. Did I overstep my bounds?"

"No, no, that’s not what I meant!"

Gao Diaomao hurriedly explained, "Mainly, Bai Yuqiu is leaving our company with 11% of the shares. I just wanted to ask what you plan to do..."

"Oh, that matter? I understand what you mean."

Han Lie’s voice was not surprised, and he admitted frankly.

"Sister Bai did ask for my opinion, asking for what I’d recommend. I just gave a hint, saying Gao Yuan Real Estate has big moves planned next, and there’s a high chance of profit...

President Gao, our relationship is complicated, after all. I can’t just stand by and watch her suffer, you understand?

If you’re willing to include her, let her make some pocket change; if you have other plans, just pay a bit more to buy back her shares.

It’s a simple matter, no need to inform me again..."

Damn!

What the hell was I thinking back then?!

Gao Diaomao regretted it to his core, almost wanting to give himself a couple slaps.

He saw Bai Yuqiu as a gift he handed to Han Lie himself, and without this event, how could things develop to this?

However, at the same time, he completely relaxed.

It’s alright to lose a little, as long as you don’t plan to take my company...

He hastily said: "Alright, once the company stabilizes, I’ll buy back the shares. Don’t worry, she won’t lose out on the price!"

"That’s between you,"

Han Lie replied unceremoniously: "I’m busy and stressed every day; I can’t mediate your family disputes too, can I?"

"Yes, yes, I’m being immature, hahaha!"

Gao Diaomao quickly agreed, offered apologies filled with sincerity, and then immediately called his son Gao Shen to scold him fiercely.

This blame clearly belongs to you!

Actually, Gao Shen was also stunned.

No, this wasn’t how I wrote the script?!

He called Bai Yuqiu over a dozen times, the first three still had ringtone, the rest were blocked notifications.

Gao Shen was so angry he almost smashed his phone.

How much Bai Yuqiu took wasn’t his concern.

But she took away the shares of Gao Yuan Real Estate, what about my collaboration with Daddy Lie?

Unable to find Bai Yuqiu, he could only sheepishly seek out Han Lie.

"God Lie, what do I do now?"

Towards the boy, Han Lie comforted him gently.

"Sigh, I didn’t expect her to be so ruthless... but no worries, quickly retrieve the transferred cash, don’t let it impact the financial company business."

Gao Shen’s voice was depressed to the extreme: "That money is in my dad’s hands, how could I possibly get it back?"

"Forget it, this is an act of God, our contract is void. I won’t ask for compensation and penalties, and the advance payment will be treated as a loan to you. Find some time to come and sign an IOU..."

Gao Shen was moved to tears, his voice choked with emotion.

"God Lie! I..."

Emotions ran high, truly genuine feelings!

And it was no act, a true expression of gratitude and touching sentiment.

Dog Lie lay in the boss chair, stretched out his long legs on the desk and covered his face with his hand.

Otherwise, he was afraid he’d burst out laughing...

Choked with sobs, Gao Shen gritted his teeth, determined: "God Lie, my company urgently needs money, can’t wait, how about I sell my villa to you!"

"I’d love to help you."

Han Lie’s voice was extremely sincere, and Gao Shen even saw the hesitance and difficulty on Daddy Lie’s face.

Voice painting pictures, the highest level of line delivery.

"...But for the location, area, and depreciation of your villa, I really can’t offer 150 million!"

"What 150 million?!"

Gao Shen slammed the table, filled with a surge of knowing-a-friend’s-deep-determination, erupting fiercely.

"Just 50 million is fine! The jewelry, furniture, appliances, antiques, and art inside the villa all go to you. I’ll just take a few sets of clothes, how about it?"

Han Lie stopped covering his face and started to cover his mouth.

Shaking in his chair for a good while before speaking again.

"No, Brother Gao, I just bought a villa, currently being renovated, and why do I need another villa?! If I really take it, I’ll have to tear down the interior and completely redo it..."

"God Lie! Help a brother out!"

Gao Shen cried out painfully: "Your great kindness and virtue, I’ll never forget!"

"Sigh! Alright then, since you say the divorce was partly my fault too..."

Han Lie’s heart softened, couldn’t resist, and finally relented.

It delighted Gao Shen, he practically jumped three meters high.

"Good brother! How can any of that be your fault?! Watch, our company will make big money! Oh, and my new girlfriend is even prettier..."

"Mm-mm-mm!"

What could Han Lie do? Of course, just nod along!

And so, the matter was settled this way.

Bai Yuqiu received allocation rights worth 380 million or even more, and immediately applied for asset preservation, a huge gain.

Han Lie gained a pile of junk for 50 million, a small profit.

Gao Diaomao lost so much he almost wanted to vomit blood, diligently comforting himself: It’s not a big deal.

Gao Shen suffered the highest direct loss, yet he somehow cared the least, filled with confidence in the future and bursting with motivation.

And the least involved, Duan Xiaofeng, remains unconscious in the hospital to this day...

The bizarreness and magic of the world, today is the best annotation.

Everybody is part of the play, who can understand it all?

The final result won’t lie.
