Reborn with Consumption System

Chapter 952 - 387: Piercing Heart with an Arrow (Part 2)

Alright, she really does want to bravely take that step.Han Lie sized up her physique from top to bottom, suddenly realizing —— this is indeed a perfect build for a massage, it would be a shame not to use it.

So he gently nodded, "Then go ahead and give it a try..."

"Okay!~"

The little assistant beamed with a smile, walking out of the bedroom with a spring in her step, happily.

As time passed and abilities were showcased, she had fully devoted herself to Han Lie, having been prepared for everything for a long time.

Eating pears, was just a matter of course.

...

The next day, it was another weekend.

Han Lie wanted to be lazy but couldn’t manage to, as he was roped in early in the morning by Pan Ge.

"Get up, lazy pig, Queen Zhao is going to the villa!"

"You go with her, why call me?"

"I can’t win an argument with her, if you don’t come to back me up, do you want your baby to get beaten?"

Tsk tsk, what a compelling reason...

Han Lie had no choice but to attend as a spectator for another day.

The main content was the designers bragging non-stop, then Pan Ge and Queen Zhao giving them a hard time according to their own preferences, attacking from both sides, causing that group of elites to lose hair by the handfuls.

The design drafts still couldn’t be finalized, but the good news was, the wine cellar was officially proposed as a key requirement, to which all the designers howled in despair.

You all didn’t say this initially...

But there’s no helping it, the client is just that formidable, and the cash-wielding Queen Zhao particularly so.

The whole day, Han Lie didn’t accomplish any serious work, and nearing dinner time, he finally found a chance to slip away in a hurry.

Gao Diaomao was hosting a dinner.

Today it was outside, not at Gao Shen’s house.

The venue for the meal was a private kitchen club specializing in Huaiyang cuisine, the courtyard was very exquisite, the waitresses were quite beautiful, but the company at the table was particularly off-putting.

Gao Diaomao, his brother-in-law Duan Xiaolong, Gao Fengbo, the manager of CITIC Securities Asset Management Department, the manager of the Sales Department, and two girls to liven up the atmosphere.

Apart from those two beauties, not a single decent person!

Yet Brother Lie smiled kindly and warmly, leaving no room for complaints in his attitude.

During the eating and drinking, no serious business was discussed, it was purely casual chatting and mutual praise, of course, it was a group of people collectively boosting Han Lie himself.

"Mr. Han, your maneuver recently was truly remarkable!"

Gao Fengbo initiated the topic of stocks, giving a thumbs up, full of praise, showing no guilt for any wrongdoing.

With such an old hand, you simply cannot tell from his expression whether he’s screwed you over or not.

He can maintain a brotherly smile even at the moment of stabbing you in the back, then feign grief: "Big brother, you go without worry, your wife and children, I’ll take care of them!"

Therefore, when you’re unaware of his true nature, people like him are extremely dangerous.

Confidence can lead you to mistakenly believe that you are friends, with overlapping interests, giving him no reason to screw you over.

Then you unknowingly expose your vulnerabilities.

The financial world is deep because it’s too hard to determine who is trustworthy.

But to accomplish things, you have no choice but to trust those platform providers, custodians, project teams, patrons, investment advisors, trust institutions, and even those wealthy individuals whom you think you can easily manage.

For instance, today, apart from Gao Fengbo and Han Lie—the principal parties—no one knew that Gao Fengbo had already betrayed Han Lie in secret.

Gao Diaomao even thought they were truly good friends with an exceptional relationship.

"Nobody knows Mr. Han’s capabilities better than Mr. Gao, come on, Mr. Gao, tell everyone, what have Mr. Han’s achievements been again?"

With someone providing a platform, Gao Fengbo was indeed willing to praise.

"Mr. Han’s maneuvering skills are truly... four words, unparalleled, beyond description! By the way, Mr. Han, may I say it?"

Han Lie laughed heartily, "We’re all family here, what’s the point of keeping secrets from you all?"

The dog actor even voluntarily rolled up the sleeve on his left hand, revealing a fully diamond-encrusted Royal Oak, sighing with emotion.

"The first prestigious watch in my life was given to me by my prospective mother-in-law, and the second one is this Royal Oak I am wearing now, given to me by Brother Bo. Every time I wear it out, I recall Brother Bo’s kindness, pouring his heart out for me..."

"Wow, really beautiful!"

"Mr. Gao is generous, always impeccable with partners!"

"Cheers, cheers, to the friendship between Mr. Gao and Mr. Han, let us all sponsor a big toast!"

Gao Fengbo was moved immediately, his eyes slightly reddening.

"Alas, ashamed! At that time, I sought help from Mr. Han, visiting him, it should only be considered a normal reciprocation, but I truly didn’t expect Mr. Han’s kind nature... come, younger brother, I’ll overstep my bounds and call you that, I’ll down mine, you take a sip!"

Goodness, is this where the drama kicks off?

Life is like a play, come on, everyone, act it out for me!

What followed was a torrent of flattery from Gao Fengbo, lauding Han Lie’s maneuvers, yet in reality disclosing no details, his balance was simply perfect.

A very routine bottom-fishing strategy was exaggerated to seem like a legendary martial art, provoking wave after wave of awe and praise from the table.

The two beauties, one from the sales department, and the other from the front desk, flanked Han Lie, expressing admiration with warm, concerned chats, blushing coquettishly whenever someone chimed in, as if they were enamored with the young man beside them.

Well, possibly there’s some genuine affection there.

After all, Han Lie isn’t just wealthy now, but also young and handsome.

However, the focal point was the atmosphere at the table, making any man feel over the moon.

In fact, just based on the present, the overall profit of the two funds only just reached 20%, not really deserving of such excessive praise.
