Reborn with Consumption System

Dog Lie suddenly wanted to take a photo and send it to the guardian beast.

——See that?

I’m here puffing and chatting over tea with your dad, not going to call me uncle?

Next, Boss Chen showed some concern about Han Lie’s fund.

The attitude was like this: "Those mine owners’ money just sitting idle in the bank is pointless. You’re helping them earn more, and since they live in Dream Garden, they’ll eventually invest and spend back home. A good thing, a great thing! Is there anywhere you need help?"

Actually, there wasn’t.

But Han Lie had to rack his brain to think of one.

"When we hold the roadshow, could we borrow Xiao Zhao?"

"Sure!" Boss Chen agreed immediately, "Send me an invite then, and I’ll come personally to celebrate with you!"

"I couldn’t trouble you." Han Lie declined with a smile.

"Trouble? Don’t be a stranger!"

Boss Chen had the look of treating Han Lie like a son-in-law but didn’t mention Chen Yanfei at all.

Han Lie thought the conversation was about over. He looked at the time, thirty minutes, just as expected.

But Boss Chen sat firmly, as if casually, and asked one more thing.

"President Han, now that you’re in the securities market and also starting in equity investment, have you had any contact with our Mining Province’s richest, President Li from Haixin?"

Li Zhaohui?

Han Lie had heard of him for a long time.

The traditional bosses in Mining Province mostly hide their wealth. Only two and a half people are truly high-profile; President Jia, President Li, and the last half isn’t worth mentioning.

This President Li has many legendary exploits, overlapping a bit with Han Lie’s field, but the end of his path remains a mystery, one of the few local businessmen who intrigues Han Lie.

Why did the former father-in-law suddenly mention him?

"I haven’t had the chance to."

Han Lie shook his head honestly: "I’ve been really busy lately, and President Li must be quite busy too, I guess?"

"That’s true, busy like crazy!"

The former father-in-law gave Han Lie a meaningful look and chuckled.

"I heard that President Li has been asking about you recently, maybe looking to chat with you, keep an eye out."

Be mindful of what?

Need to interpret it yourself.

Han Lie nodded thoughtfully, then saw Boss Chen glance at his watch and take a sip of tea.

Well, time to say goodbye!

Boss Chen warmly stood up to send him off. At the door of the office, he hesitated for a moment and finally mentioned Chen Yanfei.

"Xiao Han, you and Feifei are good friends, if there’s a chance in the future... help each other."

"Of course, I cherish every friend."

Han Lie responded with a smile, burying the perplexity deep in his heart.

Help?

The wording was a bit ambiguous... Was it just casual, or something else?

Judging from his attitude, it didn’t seem like he wanted me to get close to Chen Yanfei...

Couldn’t figure it out for the moment, so he stopped overthinking it. By now, many things that once seemed crucial are just whatever.

After leaving the office, Han Lie got into the car to go home.

Pan Shaohang tried hard to suppress his excitement, driving steadily.

Only downstairs at Han Lie’s home did he finally ask, "Brother Lie, I applied to Magic Capital Jiao Tong University, could I intern at your company during summer and winter breaks?"

Wow, this kid sure is gutsy!

Han Lie glanced at Pan Shaohang in surprise. His grades this year are even better than last, able to get into Qingbei or even Ivy League. After all, the effort to pull strings for a recommendation for Liu Hanhe’s son, doing one more for Pan Shaohang wouldn’t matter.

Han Lie had previously mentioned this to Pan Dajun, why did Pan Shaohang resolutely choose Magic Capital?

"Thought this through?"

Pan Shaohang nodded heavily, "Thought through! I want to learn some real skills to stand on my own!"

"Alright, report to me during the winter break."

Han Lie left with a simple reply and turned to go upstairs.

But Pan Shaohang couldn’t help but punch the air in excitement, letting out a few low growls.

Look how happy the kid is, thrilled just to work for Han Lie...

Things have changed... Everything’s different.

Back then, when Pan Shaohang swung his fist at Han Lie, wasn’t he wild and arrogant?

Now, he’s just an admirer.

...

While climbing the stairs, Han Lie bumped into Liu Lianlian again.

This girl was definitely waiting at the door for Han Lie to come upstairs, otherwise it couldn’t be such a coincidence.

"Lie Lie, back?"

"Yeah, what are you up to? Need something?"

Dog Lie didn’t bother to play games, straight to the point.

She sidled up to him and asked mysteriously, "Brother, do you know Sister Bing and Big Secret?"

The word ’brother’ made Han Lie feel dazed for an instant.

How long has it been since I heard that?

Actually, not long, just a year or two, but in memory, it feels like a lifetime.

"Who told you that?"

Han Lie quickly recovered, responding with a question.

Liu Lianlian honestly replied, "Many people say your fund is particularly popular with those big stars. I think it sounds reliable. Brother, if you can, get me a couple of small roles to train me, will you?"

Han Lie laughed, feeling quite gratified.

Not bad, this childhood-pine-for-bamboo little sister is at least candid, not playing any mind games.

"Easy, I have a friend who opened an entertainment company. You can sign a contract with them, and then have them arrange it for you."

Suddenly, he reached out and patted Liu Lianlian’s head, turning to go upstairs.

The little girl stared blankly at Han Lie’s back, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

When she returned home, her mother started nagging again, "Is it reliable? Not arranging things himself, just handing it over to someone else... Lianlian, why not look for a proper big company?"

Old Liu retorted back, and she immediately snapped back at him.

This was the typical case of picking a fight out of frustration.

Liu Lianlian sighed.

"Mom, our family is just an ordinary one living in an old state-owned enterprise residential area. The highest-level person we could possibly meet in this life is likely somebody at the level of your factory director.

Now that our neighbor, my childhood friend, has made it big, to be blunt, our family’s ancestral grave must be on fire to have such a bond. Do you really have to mess it up until we’re strangers to be happy?"

"You silly girl, don’t I hope for the best for you?"

Her muttering continued, but her momentum completely deflated; it’s truly the first time in all these years.

...

When Han Lie arrived home, there were indeed guests.

There was no need to see faces; just hearing the sudden, high-pitched laughter, he knew it was the manager from his father’s factory.

He lightly greeted them, and the guest quickly took the hint to leave.

These visitors didn’t have any explicit purpose, simply coming over to make an acquaintance, to show a bit of attitude.

After the person left, Ma Honglian hurriedly asked, "Lie Lie, how long can you stay?"

Han Lie instantly became wary, "What do you mean?"

"If there’s nothing urgent, hurry and scram!"

Big sister Ma gave a dramatic eye roll, full of disdain.

"Every time you come back, there’s no peace at home! Look at this, one wave after another, what’s the difference from a hotel? And you and your dad act like big shots, doing nothing..."

Han Lie’s head felt like it was getting pounded by a hammer, fortunately, Lao Shen from Agricultural Bank called him just in time to save him.

"Hey, Shen Xing, what’s up?"

"Old buddy, someone reached out through my boss to find me, let me tell you about it, you decide whether you want to meet..."

Shen Cheng started, smiling bitterly, hinting that he’s held off a lot of pressure for Han Lie.

Han Lie got curious, "Who could it be? That powerful?"

"Li Zhaohui."

Shen Cheng didn’t beat around the bush and spilled the beans immediately, "People are already in Dream City, probably prepping a banquet at the hotel... "

Wow!

What’s with him again?

Seems like this richest big brother is really anxious...

"Alright, then let’s meet, it’s no big deal."

Han Lie replied with a relaxed smile.

For his current clout, he still can’t compare to the ’starving’ President Li, but he’s on the same level.

Meet, chat, it won’t have much of an impact.

Just after agreeing, Wang Qiwei suddenly called.

"Master Han, I’m in Dream City! I not only want to buy you a drink today, but also introduce you to quite a capable person! President Zhang from the P2P Financial Industry Association, have you heard of him?"

"Ha! Heard so much about him!"

Han Lie couldn’t help but laugh.

What on earth is happening today?

Why are all these people, good and bad, showing up today for a party?

Let’s meet them all! It’s just too interesting.

"How about this, I have another banquet lined up, you all should come over, Li Zhaohui arranged it, you wouldn’t have any qualms, right Wang?"

"Damn!"

Old Wang exclaimed, "I’m one of his creditors, why would I have any qualms? Where? I’m heading there now!"

Well, today’s gathering is going to be quite lively!
