Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 576 - 257: Both of You Are Toxic!

Tang Xintian's shock left Han Lie dumbfounded for quite a while. What's going on? Isn't today the 1st? Did I sleep right through to the 4th?

He raised his hand to glance at the calendar on his watch... No problem, it was indeed January 1st, 3:35 PM.

That's weird. The stock market is closed for three days during the New Year's holiday, so how did it drop? Could it be...

Han Lie casually waved his hand, "Is that necessary?"

While responding to Tang Xintian, he returned to his desk and quietly opened the Da Zhi Hui software. Yesterday was the 31st, Monday—the first trading day after the lecture and the last one before the holiday. If there really was a big drop, it could only have been yesterday.

Han Lie hadn't glanced at the market at all yesterday—truth be told, not today either. It's not that I was slacking; I was just busy with important matters: Sister Bai, rehearsals, Pan Ge, rehearsals, sister-in-law, rehearsals... After finally finishing work and coaxing so many girlfriends, I was staggering on my way to sign a contract this morning. Where would I find time to watch the market? Hold on, Tang, let me check what's going on first; we can chat later!

Tang Xintian looked at the composed and serene Han Lie and subconsciously thought that this man was putting on airs.

How could it not be serious? The accuracy was simply terrifying, okay? I don't believe you don't feel a sliver of pride! Are you not just trying to portray the image of a sage who is neither haughty in victory nor discouraged in defeat, with all things under control, right in front of me? I've seen this kind of act too many times!

But after observing carefully for a few seconds, she saw Han Lie focusing on the computer screen, his mouse clicking—CLACK, CLACK, CLACK—his fingers occasionally tapping the keyboard, his gaze never diverted toward her once—he was truly undistracted.

Huh? Was I wrong? Is he dealing with contracts? Really indifferent to the glory of a sudden rise to fame?

Tang Xintian suddenly felt deflated. Han Lie's reaction finally made her realize that she didn't have such great charm as to make him treat her differently, set aside important matters, and exclusively engage with her.

To be honest, it was quite a blow.

But then again, she couldn't help but admire the youth before her.

Achieving such a significant victory, conquering hundreds of private banking clients in one day, his fame echoing throughout the entire bank, yet he remained calm and unperturbed, still so down-to-earth...

If he doesn't succeed, who will?!

Tang Xintian shook her head and sighed, "You might not care, but we can't. Our private banking department's approval rating skyrocketed by more than ten percent overnight. This afternoon, the director praised all related employees..."

Han Lie felt somewhat bemused. A whole day has passed, right? What were they doing earlier?

"Your bank sure reacts quickly..."

Seeing the mocking smile on Han Lie's face, Tang Xintian suddenly felt her making such a fuss was indeed a bit embarrassing, and her ears discreetly turned a shade of red.

"Er, well, we're a bank; naturally, we aren't that sensitive to the stock market."

She forcibly explained herself and clarified the situation.

"Actually, many clients called right after the market closed yesterday. However, our private banking department has its own independent processing procedures. Compounded by the New Year's staff rotations and shift breaks, it wasn't until this morning, when we couldn't keep up with the incoming calls, that we started to report it. The director then took the initiative to inquire, which caused the news to spread.

Our department doesn't directly cooperate with private banking, so I heard about it from Director Liu.

But you're really impressive; your prediction was like magic!

Now, every major department in our branch is trying to learn about you, and those colleagues who attended your lecture are almost tired of being questioned..."

Well, well, this flattery isn't bad at all!

Han Lie carefully scanned the market, a faint smile on his face, and casually replied, "So, it actually has nothing to do with you, right? Then why are you so worked up?"

The business growth of the private banking department really has nothing to do with me... Tang Xintian was just about to nod when a sudden realization hit her.

Not right! How can it have nothing to do with me? My new teacher is a verified great master with a golden reputation. The director has said he wants 'to invite Teacher Han for another lecture at an appropriate time soon, aiming to make the lecture bigger, better, and ensuring high customer satisfaction, in hopes of expanding business scale and enhancing core competitiveness, to make a great start for the bank's growth targets in 2014'... Right now, all employees in the branch want to ingratiate themselves with Teacher Han, and I was the one sent out in advance to be the bridge, the liaison with the teacher... The relationship is huge, okay?!

Tang Xintian suddenly remembered the additional reminder Uncle Huang had given her after Director Liu had called to inform her of the contents of the temporary director's meeting—

"Tiantian, Teacher Han is really impressive... This is a rare opportunity, and you must value it highly, understand?"

It was a simple sentence, yet profound.

Without careful contemplation, it was just a normal, official pleasantry that every leader uses when assigning tasks to subordinates. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But when considered thoroughly in light of the actual situation, it might carry certain implications.

So, how should she judge?

It only took a moment for Tang Xintian to understand—

In the morning, when she set off, Director Huang had already given her a normal admonition.

In the afternoon, after the shock had spread, Uncle Huang made a temporary call, addressing her not as 'Section Chief Tang' but as 'Tiantian,' clearly an extra reminder made in his personal capacity.

Now, what else was there to misunderstand?

Low-EQ interpretation: That guy is incredibly valuable. It's rare for you to have a legitimate reason to get close to him, so quickly find a way to win him over, preferably secure him tightly, or at the very least, get more benefits out of this!

High-EQ interpretation: You are a fine lady, deserving of a precious jade. Such a favorable match is hard to come by; you must cherish and value it.
