Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 631 - 276 Show time [Celebration of the New Year]
Tang Xintian was fiercely determined to conquer Han Lie, but her first attempt was a huge setback—the scoundrel made her discuss work for three whole hours.
Ha, Teacher Han was remarkably focused…
The main reason was that things were about to get very busy.
For a long time to come, Han Lie would probably have to work overtime on the project. Not only would he have no time for romantic pursuits, but his leisure time would also be drastically reduced.
Tomorrow was Monday. During the day, he needed to monitor the market, track trading activity, confirm the stock pool with Jiao Fangyan, and be ready to enter the market at any moment.
With over 500 million in funds, succeeding in the current market environment required both skill and patience to establish his positions efficiently and discreetly.
During off-market hours, he had to secure the project with Magic Capital Bank. Tang Xintian's identity was too sensitive. It was impossible to rope her into this difficult task; the previous invitation for her to work overtime had just been a joke.
So, Han Lie had no choice but to take it on himself, at most pulling Lü Shuli in to help.
After that, he needed to design proposals for SPD Bank and liaise with all parties. One or two dinner meetings each day would become the norm.
Then, he had to "look after" the Gao father and son. Starting tonight, he had to officially get into character.
It just so happened to coincide with the end-of-term exams…
Oh, Han Lie didn't have to strictly adhere to the schedule for the standardized exams; he just needed to find time to complete the papers separately.
Old Zhang had taken the initiative to arrange this. He was incredibly thoughtful, afraid that Han Lie might miss the window to establish his positions because of an exam…
So, have you all learned the lesson? If you want to swagger around school enjoying various privileges, just make money for your principal or bring him fame. It's really that simple.
Even so, Han Lie genuinely couldn't squeeze out any more time to deal with personal relationships.
Being at the core meant just that. With a thousand and one responsibilities resting solely on him, his daily communication overhead was frighteningly high.
But after this period of intense effort, he would become very wealthy.
The initial capital provided by Pan Shaohang had boosted all his key attributes to an excellent threshold. From there, the snowball effect had taken hold, growing until now, when a quantitative change was about to trigger a qualitative one.
Roughly estimated, Han Lie was about to gain around 200 million in short-term profits, 300 to 500 million in loans, various 'interest payments' from the Gao Family, and countless long-term earnings.
This didn't even include profits from the secondary market.
This speed of making money was faster than robbing a bank—oh, right, the financial industry's specialty is legal robbery, so never mind.
In any case, Han Lie had to focus, and he spurred Tang Xintian on as if driving cattle. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Had it been any other girl, she probably would have exploded by now.
However, although Tang Xintian was somewhat dejected, she cooperated exceptionally well.
She was a career woman, after all. Not only would she not let personal matters interfere with her work, but she actually enjoyed finding synergy in collaboration and deriving satisfaction from it—no, this isn't a euphemism, be serious!
Han Lie went over all the currently confirmable details with Tang Xintian, then returned to the lounge to join the three older men for tea and conversation.
Both Boss Qin and Director Hu were still in the 'observation period' with Han Lie. Consequently, their conversation was mostly insubstantial business flattery, filled with covert attempts to gather information.
Given their sensitive positions, acting with caution was to be expected.
Han Lie handled it very well, with remarkable ease.
The SPD Bank project was, in essence, a product of multiple parties pushing it forward together, just with varying degrees of involvement.
Therefore, Han Lie didn't forget the most important thing—to use the opportunity to state his position clearly.
The specifics of their discussion aren't important, but Han Lie's stance was unequivocal: "I can do the work, but I will only do my part. I will not inquire about, participate in, or acknowledge any other off-the-books matters."
Director Hu nodded with a beaming smile, while Old Huang shook his head with a faint smile, seemingly thinking Han Lie was making a mountain out of a molehill.
In reality, matters outside his direct role had absolutely nothing to do with Han Lie. He was just a contractor selling his Intelligence; they wouldn't want his involvement even if he desired it.
Around 4 o'clock, the group dispersed, everyone satisfied.
The plan, of course, still required further discussion, but the basic framework had been set and wouldn't cause any more problems.
They parted ways to head home. Tang Xintian had driven today, so Han Lie didn't need to give her a lift. After saying goodbye, they went their separate ways.
Tang Xintian settled into the driver's seat of an Audi A4L. She smoothly slid the sunglasses from where they hung on her collar onto the bridge of her nose and started the car with one hand on the steering wheel, her aura as a powerful, elite woman instantly radiating.
TSK TSK. She was so cool!
Who could imagine what she would be like in married life?
Anyway, Han Lie couldn't picture it, nor was he curious.
Previously, when they were discussing work, she had relentlessly questioned him—about the 'why,' his considerations, the theoretical underpinnings, the policy basis... She was incredibly incisive.
Although her questions couldn't stump Han Lie, they were indeed extremely mentally taxing.
So, she was an exceptionally good subordinate or partner. With another two years of experience, she could definitely hold her own.
However, she wasn't a good candidate for a casual romance.
Otherwise… should he try to poach her later to manage the equity fund?
With thoughts of working her to the bone, Han Lie took a car back to his hotel suite.
Thinking about the upcoming engagement, Han Lie spent some time choosing from his wardrobe, finally settling on a highly fashionable casual outfit.
He wore slim-fit pure black jeans and high-top leather boots. On top, he wore a large, side-slit sweater, the wide round neck revealing just a hint of his collarbones.
His hair was styled somewhat artfully disheveled with pomade, and he put on rimless, non-prescription crystal glasses. All he lacked now were an earring and a necklace to be the trendiest guy in any nightclub.
Since Gu Yong had helped Gao Diaomao invite him to dinner, it was certain they wanted to discuss serious matters.
