Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 535 - 243 Adding Fuel to the Fire_2

Among the clients today, there were indeed some quite influential figures. Panzi wasn’t even considered top-tier among SPD Bank’s private banking clients, which gives you an idea of SPD Bank’s vast network in the Magic Capital.

But no matter how formidable anyone was, it didn’t affect Han Lie; he was different from Old Xu.

Ever since Han Lie entered the field, he has never engaged in any explicitly forbidden practices.

For example, those well-known big shots of later generations were all approached by people. They sought collaboration, asked for help, or wanted to be shown the ropes. But what if I didn’t accept?

No consequences.

If we could connect, we’d talk; if not, so be it. There was no such thing as someone forcing you to help them make money.

In modern society, as long as your own conduct was sound, you were pretty safe.

Getting involved in other people’s messes when you were already dealing with your own was just asking for trouble.

At 4 o’clock, Han Lie descended from the stage amid warm applause and plopped down next to Tang Xintian.

"Teacher Han, your speech was truly excellent!"

Tang Xintian proactively offered flattery to Han Lie, her eyes filled with admiration, her expression exceedingly tender.

Too bad Brother Lie didn’t believe a word of it.

Girls who understand psychology are tricky customers, the hardest to provoke.

What’s a Sea Queen compared to them?

At best, a Sea Queen might have mastered the push and pull of romantic games, but that’s leagues away from major disciplines like social psychology, managerial psychology, or behavioral psychology.

If a girl like Tang Xintian decided to get inside someone’s head, she would definitely apply theory to practice, tailoring her approach to their personality. She’d be capable of both sudden outbursts and sustained pressure, entangling them to the ends of the earth.

Finding a man who could withstand her targeted assaults would be genuinely tough.

Anyway, after mentally scrolling through his circle of friends, Han Lie hadn’t found anyone who could resist her when she was really trying—those middle-aged nightlife veterans didn’t count, as they weren’t in the same age group.

But Han Lie himself was perfectly capable of holding his ground.

Perhaps it was because he was her kind. One look, and it was like, "Well now, so you’re a freak too?"

It takes a freak to handle a freak; Bro has to stay strong!

Of course, the main reason boiled down to two words—not hungry.

Zhazha and Guo Guo are both delightful. I’m not in a hurry to ’savor’ my little assistant, little Yue Xiu, or little Brother Shuli. So what makes Tang Xintian think she’s so special!

So, he let her make her moves, condescending to play along.

Tsk. Strangely interesting...

"Really? You genuinely learned something?"

"Mhm, mhm! I really learned a lot!"

She nodded eagerly, her clear, bright eyes looking both demure and sparkling. With a flutter of her eyelashes, she instantly transformed from an ice queen into an adorable girl. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Han Lie cherished this moment, observing her intently, thoroughly enjoying it.

Tang Xintian still doesn’t understand this Dog Lie, which is why she’s actively displaying various personas, trying different methods to probe him.

Once she truly sees Han Lie for the dog he is, she’ll probably reveal her true nature.

Ah, time once past never returns...

Tang Xintian felt increasingly awkward under Han Lie’s gaze, wondering inwardly, What’s going on?

Do I look like I have a terminal illness? Is that half admiration, half pity?

As she puzzled over it, Han Lie spoke very casually, "Since you’re so eager to learn and indeed quite perceptive, I’ll accept you as my student. From now on, you can call me San Sai..."

Tang Xintian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what "San Sai" meant.

Later, following the dog man’s logic and mulling it over, she finally figured out what he was referring to—sensei!

Good heavens!

Little Tangtang’s composure shattered on the spot.

Her ears flushed crimson instantly, the blush spreading down her neck. Disbelief flashed in her eyes, quickly followed by a surge of murderous intent.

Honestly, having grown up as she did, who would dare joke like that with Sister Tang?

Even her run-of-the-mill colleagues who pursued her nearly put her on a pedestal!

Tang Xintian clenched her small fists, took a deep breath, and struggled to contain her anger as she sized up Han Lie.

But Han Lie had already turned his gaze back to the lectern, intently watching the expert from SPD Bank’s research institute, who was making the closing presentation.

Sensing her gaze, Han Lie suddenly turned his head and asked, puzzled, "What’s wrong?"

What do you mean, what’s wrong?!

Still playing dumb? Get lost, you!

Tang Xintian felt she couldn’t keep indulging Han Lie, so she forced a cold smile and squeezed out, "Nothing."

Unfortunately, Han Lie paid her no mind, seemingly engrossed in the lecture.

—At least, he appeared sufficiently engrossed.

Thus, the subdued atmosphere persisted until the day’s courses formally concluded, and everyone moved to the banquet hall.

Dinner tonight was a buffet.

Of course, eating wasn’t the primary purpose; socializing was.

After the buffet largely concluded, a more formal banquet was to follow, with a select number of invitees.

As soon as Han Lie entered the banquet hall, he was immediately surrounded.

"Teacher Han, your presentation was fantastic!"

"This is my card, I am..."

"Hello, Teacher Han. I’m a close friend of General Manager Jin Meilun..."

His popularity was arguably the highest of any speaker at these events.

Han Lie patiently dealt with the crowd for a while, then began to look around.

Where is my lady in the white suit?

Ah, found her!

The married lady was particularly conspicuous—tall, with an outstanding demeanor and creamy white skin. Even in a white suit, her complexion didn’t seem diminished.

However, Han Lie didn’t go over, nor did he even glance in her direction again.

Director Liu and Tang Xintian were still by his side, having introduced him to many key SPD Bank clients. He couldn’t slip away at the moment, nor was it convenient to reveal his target.

But it wasn’t a major issue. Fishing requires patience.

Brother Lie maintained his composure, courteously mingling and exchanging pleasantries with the various tycoons.

The buffet area wasn’t the place for serious discussions, but it was adequate for making initial contact.

Quite a few people wanted to give Han Lie money; some were bluffing, while others were genuinely sincere.
