Reborn with Consumption System

Chapter 957 - 389: Hidden Thrills (Part 2)

Old Xun gave Old Wang a meaningful look: "You’ve seen young Han in person, what do you think of him?""Handsome!"

Old Wang gave a thumbs up: "Really, he’s tall, handsome, and has a tough edge, definitely attracts young ladies!"

"That’s it then!"

Old Xun clapped his hand, concluding: "Young people nowadays aren’t like we were, they have their own take on relationships, happiness is what matters most..."

It seemed like he said everything and nothing at the same time.

Old Wang grinned, feeling quite envious.

"Wow, if I’d been as handsome as young Han when I was young, I wouldn’t have had to wait until 40 to become an assistant manager..."

But Old Li was different; besides envy, his expression was more conflicted.

"What’s wrong, Chairman Li?"

Old Li glanced towards Han Lie in the distance and discreetly wiped his sweat: "You guys aren’t in Imperial Capital, you don’t know the situation.

There’s been talk of forming a higher-level financial regulatory committee, right? If it happens, President Tang is likely to be a key figure...

Shouldn’t we give a heads-up?

Young Han is playing with fire; the central bank can’t really control him now, but in a few years, he’ll be in trouble!"

Good grief!

Old Wang and Old Xun were immediately stunned.

How to describe that feeling?

Right now, Han Lie with Tang Xintian feels like the Monkey King toying with the Seven Fairies; sounds risky but the Jade Emperor can’t do much to him.

But if President Tang gets another promotion...

It’s equivalent to a ghost in the underworld messing with the King of Hell’s daughter, even in death he’d be fried again in the oil pot!

Old Xun quickly asked: "Is it reliable?"

Chairman Li shook his head: "No one can be sure now, but tightening regulation is a trend, I can only say there’s a not-small chance."

"Hiss..."

Old Wang inhaled sharply, no longer envious.

"Being too handsome is not necessarily a good thing; a man still needs to rely on strength for stable progress..."

You’ve said both good and bad things; well, you certainly understand being true to oneself.

...

On the other side, Han Lie isn’t intimidated by Tang Xintian at all.

"Sister Da Tang, any directives?"

"Directive what directive!"

Tang Xintian seemed a bit irritable, quite rude: "Didn’t you promise to accompany me to a gathering last time? Come out, it’s time now!"

"Oh!"

Han Lie remembered, but was puzzled.

"Why has it been dragged out until now? I thought I wouldn’t be needed."

"It’s not a formal gathering anyway, had to wait until everyone was free... Actually, we’re waiting for a nuisance to return to the country, sigh, don’t mention it, quickly come pick me up!"

Oh, a matchmaking-type gathering?

Intending to use me as a shield?

Innumerable guesses surged in Han Lie’s mind, then he decisively resolved... bye-bye!

"Can’t do it sister, Zhongjin’s vice president from the headquarters is here to talk business with me; we’re out drinking now, tens of billions in deals are at stake, how can I leave now?"

"Zhongjin headquarters? From Imperial Capital?"

Tang Xintian’s voice slightly elevated, imbued with strong charisma.

"Then wait for me, I’ll help you close the deal, their chief is from Construction Bank, I call him uncle, you don’t need to drink for negotiation!"

Good grief!

Just how angry are you inside?

This situation is complicated?

Dog Lie felt his scalp tingle, hurriedly stalling: "No, no, no, it’s a normal collaboration, using force to pressure should be out of the question! How about this, I’ll wrap it up quickly, accompany them properly, you wait at home for me, okay?"

If undecided, delay a bit!

Stalling technique works at any time, applied wisely, can solve most unexpected issues.

Later, shut off the phone, claim you drank too much, what can you do to me?!

However...

Today it didn’t work on Tang Xintian.

Though Dog Lie performed sincerely as much as possible, Sister Da Tang ultimately is a woman well-versed in psychology, easily perceiving Han Lie’s reluctance.

— Fiddling around like this usually means not wanting to go at all.

Suddenly, her temper sparked uncontrollably.

I’ve been so good to you, you don’t have to like me, but how can you be so perfunctory and indifferent?

That’s not even acceptable!

"I’m no princess, don’t need a pick-up! Give me the address and I’ll find you, don’t force me to ask my uncle!"

You still say you’re not a princess?

Listen to this tone!

Han Lie wasn’t going to indulge such princess-like temperament, and immediately acted shamelessly.

"Hey, hey, hey? What did you say? What’s going on with this lousy signal..."

Tang Xintian instantly got mad: "Just help me handle a woman, and you’re dithering! I’ll settle it with Zhongjin myself, isn’t that payment enough?"

Woman?!

Not a jealousy shield swap...

Dog Lie shivered all over, the phone signal immediately restored.

"Hey, hey? I’m outside... Can you hear clearly? Where are you? I’ll come find you right now!"

Tang Xintian: "..."

This man is shameless!

But anyway, it’s settled; she won’t have to attend those boring, nasty, vain, shallow gatherings herself, her vexed mood finally relaxed.

As for Han Lie, he was certainly not losing out.

The escort is merely temporary, getting one favor from Sister Da Tang, a great profit!

He plans to reassess Tang Xintian’s capabilities.

Tang works at the central bank, currently more involved in macro-level policy making, seemingly unrelated to Han Lie’s career direction, but her network is actually intimidating.

Of course, marrying her is unlikely, but aside from dating, there are plenty ways to milk the cow.

As long as the methods are skillful, what advantage can’t be seized?

Target her!

Han Lie cheerfully returned to the table, apologetically bid farewell: "Sorry guys, I had long promised my sister, only able to accompany this far today..."
