Reborn with Consumption System

"So impressive!"

Fang Feifei’s eyes sparkled like stars. She had never heard of such an easy and exaggerated way to make money.

Xi Luting immediately realized: "If I write web novels and become famous, with millions of followers, isn’t it..."

"Wishful thinking?"

The Black-hearted White Lotus quickly mocked her mercilessly: "No matter how famous you become, at most you can take on ads and earn some ad fees. Which association or organization would need you to endorse them?"

Slap!

Immediately, he got another slap.

But Little Shou Pan grimaced in pain on one side while grinning triumphantly on the other.

"Hitting me won’t work! You don’t deserve it!"

Eventually, it was Han Lie who broke them up, otherwise Little Shou Pan would have been crushed.

"The situation is different, can’t compare. I can earn this kind of money, but can’t take ads for fast-moving consumer goods. After you become a web novel goddess, you’ll have way more ways to monetize..."

Dog Lie is still so good at comforting little girls.

Xi Luting understood, calmed down, and correctly recognized Han Lie’s current status and position.

Even though Dog Man kept humbling himself: "Those associations aren’t all that valuable..."

But having so many associations seeking him out meant Han Lie was already part of Magic Capital’s top tier.

From the start of school to now, it’s only been a year.

Admiration +1+1.

Afterwards, Queen Ting burst into immense enthusiasm, showering Master Han with meticulous care.

Ahem, let’s stop there.

...

Ultimately, Han Lie only picked two associations with significant influence in the financial sector to join, declining all others—including the Magic Capital Real Estate Association.

But the big shots in real estate were relentless. Finally, at a cocktail party, they managed to get Han Lie to attend.

It was another weekend at the end of June.

Location: Pudong Shangri-La Banquet Hall.

Format: Buffet Reception.

Companion: Sister Da Cheng.

These days, Pan Ge mostly shuttles between home and school, seldom accompanying Han Lie to social events.

Logically, during Han Lie’s phase of recent promotion, it’s the time when he most needs to solidify relationships. Keeping the leash on the dog at all times would be the right move.

But Pan Ge has a great father who took care of things for her and did it exceptionally well.

Bro Panzi and Dog Lie have an indescribable bond; they even share face wash when drinking at night, much closer than a typical father-in-law and son-in-law relationship.

So Pan Ge can comfortably sit back and let the dog roam outside.

Thus, Han Lie got used to choosing female companions based on the occasion.

If the level is average, and he’s the absolute main guest, bringing Lizzy the assistant is enough.

If the level is a bit higher and needs to be more serious, he takes Lü Shuli or Yu Yun.

The highest response level is naturally bringing Tang Xintian.

Today doesn’t call for such solemnity; bringing Gu Zicheng is enough.

Upon arriving at the banquet hall, the first thing was to greet Panzi.

The father-in-law didn’t bring a companion today, surrounded by a bunch of socialites—beautiful real estate company women, anyone who’s experienced knows how pretty and good at chatting they are.

While the father-in-law and son-in-law were having a normal conversation, they exchanged a series of silent signals with their eyes.

"Are you going home, Han-san?"

"I’m not, what about you, Pan-san?"

"Then I’ll go home later too."

"Take it easy!"

"As long as you don’t sell me out again, I’ll be fine!"

"Okay, okay, I was never here!"

"Right, right, we didn’t see each other today!"

...

Then they each went about their own business.

Before getting to the main topic, Han Lie was first intercepted by Gu Yong.

After a round of pleasantries and mutual compliments, Old Gu finally couldn’t resist bringing up his project.

Lie Brother’s response was earnest and sincere, downright serious.

"Gu Brother, I know the rumors around Boss Gao are out of hand, but it’s normal for others to misunderstand me; don’t you know me better?!"

Gu Yong thought: I truly don’t understand... Before Gao Diaomao’s incident, who would’ve thought a sharp, honest young man like you could do something so ruthless and absolute?

If you ask anyone here, who isn’t wary of you to some extent?!

Then Han Lie reassured him strongly: "Gu Brother, don’t worry, just work on your project. As long as you don’t pull any crazy stunts, I’ll definitely respect the contract on my side!"

Actually, Gu Yong had already pondered over it several times; the contract really had no issues.

Gao Yijun’s trouble was largely due to his greed leading to self-destruction. Han Lie indeed set a trap at a key position, but it took him volunteering to jump in, right?

"All right, Professor Han, rest assured, I will strictly follow the contract, go by the book, and ensure quality!"

In Gu Yong’s view, the only part in the contract that could screw him was the quality clause.

If third-party acceptance was overly picky, pointing out minor issues and demanding rework, running back and forth would surely inflate costs, causing the project to suffer.

No way, I have to patch the loophole!

I’m gonna damn well spend more money and time to work carefully and create a quality project, let’s see what you’ll do to me then?

I just don’t believe my high-quality premium property won’t sell!

Having decided, he regained his boss demeanor.

Then he set off on the path of steady construction and gradual listing...

Han Lie swears: I really didn’t mislead him in any way!

But too many peers witnessed that scene of their conversation today, so when something unexpected happens, it’ll be hard to explain...

Han Lie, unaware of his reputation being on the brink, wandered around the banquet hall twice. Everywhere he went, he was met with smiling faces, compliments, and constant flattery, yet not a single real estate merchant talked about cooperation.
