Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 608 - 269: Sister Tang is Invincible_2

"Actually, it's really no big deal. If you want to understand, I'll explain it to you slowly."

As she spoke at length, Han Lie gradually came to understand.

Generally, social life in American universities relies on clubs and, more centrally, on various fraternities and sororities. Typically, fraternities and sororities at colleges have their own names, often abbreviated with Greek letters, like the well-known business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi (ΑΚΨ). Classified by nature, fraternities and sororities can be divided into honor societies, professional business fraternities, service fraternities, and social fraternities.

The society Tang Xintian joined at Harvard was an honor society—specifically, an Honor Society. Its standing committee invited students whose GPAs ranked in the top 10% of their class, and membership required a written assessment and an interview. This is a typical society for academically strong students, with few activities, a loose structure, and communication focused on academics and various challenges. Professional fraternities are formidable as well, with the core goal of planning careers early on and building networks. Social fraternities are rather... well, the chaotic scenes most people think of when they hear "fraternity" mostly come from social fraternities.

When it comes to honor societies versus social fraternities, or Harvard versus UPenn, it's a complete rout.

"In America, social fraternities at good universities inevitably involve weed and controlled prescription drugs. Being a good student with strong abilities doesn't mean having healthy living habits."

Tang Xintian's attitude remained very calm, a stark contrast to her descriptions.

"Therefore, female students who have studied abroad usually depreciate greatly in the top circles of the rich second generation; only clueless middle-class office workers and straight men treat them like goddesses. I don't know if you've ever paid attention to Magic Capital's marriage market, where many 'aunties' use their daughters' overseas studies as an impressive achievement to raise their standards for potential matches. Whenever I hear about this, I find it particularly ridiculous. Especially those girls who occasionally ask their parents for more living expenses... their parents will never know what they've done with that money..."

Han Lie smiled playfully. "Sister Tangtang, you're painting all international students with the same brush, including yourself."

Tang Xintian shrugged indifferently, exuding effortless cool.

"But it's the truth. Going to those kinds of parties once or twice is no big deal, but if you frequent them, you will inevitably drink excessively and come into contact with various controlled drugs. Some can produce hallucinations, some can stimulate sexual desire, and others can destroy willpower. That environment is just rotten. The women who can fit in, no matter how pure and innocent they claim to be, would you believe them? No matter how it first happened—whether tricked, coerced, or scared of losing face without knowing the consequences—the outcome is the same. There are certainly good girls among the students who focus on their studies. However, female international students keen on social fraternity activities are generally those who chase thrills and crave external validation—people with unhealthy personalities. Gu Tian is clearly interested in you that way. I know you're not, but I still feel obliged to warn you. In short, just don't treat her as some goddess or high-society lady. As for me, think whatever you want."

Han Lie instinctively glanced back at Gu Tian. That girl was quite pretty. A management degree from UPenn is no trash from a no-name school, and coupled with her father's wealth... it was all very misleading. In ordinary people's eyes, she would definitely be regarded as a true socialite, a wealthy beauty, a goddess of high standards. It's a pity. Just because of a moment of jealousy and a couple of clashes with Tang Xintian, she got completely exposed... Truly miserable.

"Thank you," Han Lie raised his glass to her in a toast. "Although I'm indeed not interested in her."

"You're welcome." Tang Xintian smiled, her lips pursed, and unabashedly hooked her arm through Han Lie's. "Let's go. There's no time to waste. Let's go make a couple of genuinely influential acquaintances." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

So perceptive!

Han Lie felt as though he was getting to know Tang Xintian all over again. When she was alone with him, perhaps due to the significant stakes involved, her performance wasn't particularly outstanding. But the moment she faced others... she was far stronger than Chen Yanfei, Pan Ge, and Liang Wu. It was a sophisticated charm, a product of her education, experience, social circle, and age. Pan Ge and Xi Luting were hardly a match for her. Chen Yanfei might have a chance to challenge her in the future, but that was also a distant prospect. No wonder Panzi was so wary of her...

Han Lie's reflection was short-lived, interrupted by waves of acquaintances and strangers. The celebration was a high-class cocktail party, attended by many, including three real estate tycoons each with a net worth exceeding ten billion. Yet no one could overshadow Han Lie's brilliance.

When Liu Minghao was the first to approach, offering a warm hug, most eyes in the crowd turned to them. Then, as Liu Minghao led Han Lie to meet the key figures of the inner circle, half the banquet hall was buzzing about him.

"That's President Han, isn't it?"

"Not sure. Let's get a better look."

"Gao Yijun from CITIC also went over. It's him!"

"Wow! He's the mastermind behind Ming Capital's securitization? So damn young!"

"Ambition knows no age. Another major figure has emerged from the Huangpu area..."

"It seems General Fan and CEO Ma are here for him, right? Securitizing real estate portfolios—amazing, truly amazing!"

"Old Gao, shall we go over and say hello too?"

"Let's wait a bit. Gu Yong is sure to say a few words. Let him enjoy his moment; there's no rush."

Gao Yijun and Zhang Guangyuan, the company's third-largest shareholder and Executive Vice President, stood in a corner quietly watching Han Lie, their minds in turmoil.
