Reborn with Consumption System

For Han Lie, the feeling of being questioned at home was quite novel.

The people who came were quite courteous and very well-mannered.

However, when discussing the whole matter, the questions were tricky and showed a high level of skill.

For Han Lie, it was a rather difficult test.

Because no matter how he tried to dissociate himself, he was a major shareholder of Gao Yuan Real Estate, and he had entered recently without spending a cent.

The crime of collusion wasn’t so easy to clear up, yet it had to be cleared.

"What is your relationship with Gao Yijun?"

Han Lie’s demeanor was casual, but his wording was extremely precise: "Initially, he was my client, then later we became partners. The most precise description would be that we are friends with certain business dealings."

"Tell me about your collaboration."

Without thinking, Han Lie replied immediately: "He wanted to issue a trust product through a real estate project, and it happened that I was an expert in this area, so he actively sought me out for advice.

At the time, I was preparing my first fund, quite busy, and my main focus was more important than the FA business, so I only offered some general advice.

Then, he asked me to handle the business, but couldn’t pay, so I had to decline.

Later, he repeatedly created opportunities to discuss this with me, and he offered higher value shares as compensation, so I casually did some matchmaking and networking for him..."

The uncle’s gaze became very sharp: "Specifically, how did you do the matchmaking?"

"I introduced Gao Yijun to Gao Fengbo, the deputy vice president of marketing at Central Trust, who is very capable in product sales; I also introduced him to Mr. Qiu from Mo Zaidan for post-project guarantees..."

Suddenly, the uncle interrupted: "Did you know Mo Zaidan violated regulations in this regard?"

"I know now."

"What about back then?"

"Back then, I realized Gao Yijun had a shortcut mentality, so I specially reminded Mr. Qiu—only provide convenience within reasonable limits and ignore the excessive demands."

"So, did you know in advance that Gao Yijun had fraudulent intentions?"

"Of course not."

Han Lie shook his head calmly and replied: "I only noticed that Gao Yijun was quite hasty and eager for quick success in his actions. That’s why I didn’t like him much, but I actually got along well with his son.

However, what exactly he would do? I didn’t know, nor did I care much.

To be frank—I am currently managing over 20 billion yuan in funds, living cautiously on thin ice every day, where do I have the leisure to focus on his one or two billion profits?

In fact, over the past two months, he invited me multiple times to dine and entertain, and I declined every time."

"But you took six billion worth of his shares."

The uncle stared intently at Han Lie.

Yet psychological master Lie was completely unfazed.

"At most, worth a little over two billion, the rest is all inflated. Plus, I need to find funding for the next company project, so it’s a very fair transaction."

"What about the project design for Central Ring New Town?"

"I provided the initial draft, which was just a general outline, and then it was taken over by Mr. Gao from Central Trust. I didn’t follow up further."

"Then what about the resolutions at the company shareholders’ meeting?"

"I have no idea?"

Actor Lie raised an eyebrow in bewilderment: "I sent my assistant, told her to handle it as she saw fit. She did bring me back a copy of the meeting minutes, but I didn’t read it.

As a non-controlling shareholder, it’s simple to take advantage of a smooth ride, and if not, then just stop losses promptly.

Gao Yijun, this person, has a very strong desire for control and is very wary of me.

And I also have no interest in competing with him for the say in such a small company, so since acquiring the shares, I’ve basically been a mascot."

"So, you’re saying you are unaware of everything he did?"

"Basically unaware."

"Then what is your relationship with Gao Shen’s ex-wife Bai Yuqiu?"

"I am good friends with Bai Yuqiu’s younger sister, Bai Yuxue. She is like an elder sister."

"Gao Yijun accuses you of having an affair with Bai Yuqiu a long time ago and conspiring to seize his company shares. How do you explain this?"

"I’m very saddened but there’s no need for explanation."

"Are you resisting this somewhat?"

"No, I have always cooperated. I simply believe that justice will prevail, and an innocent me will not be tainted by the slander of scoundrels."

...

The inquiry went on for a long time, but there was always an end to it.

Afterwards, Han Lie shook hands with them and cheerfully saw them out the door.

The two uncles returned to the office and reported to their superiors, straightforwardly saying: "Han Lie is smooth, doesn’t let anything slip. But we can basically rule out his collusion suspicion. At most, he is a clever and cunning third party, who took advantage of Gao Yijun when he most needed help to conduct a commercial extortion."

"Yes, his statements were highly consistent and logically tight. It’s highly likely just Gao Yijun’s baseless incrimination."

"Then let it go."

The leader put the notes aside and casually said: "I know that kid, a rising star in the financial circle, with a bright future, smart and cautious, indeed unlikely to be involved with Gao Yijun in such a conspiracy."

The conclusion was drawn, and henceforth, there were no further matters concerning Han Lie.

As for the rumors about Bai Yuqiu and Han Lie being involved, no one even mentioned it.

Who has the patience to deal with such messy affairs!

The leader rubbed his forehead and said: "Tell the guys to tighten up, those involved somehow got wind of something, and now it’s becoming more troublesome. We need to quickly provide them with an explanation..."
