Reborn with Consumption System

Originally, Han Lie only had four kinds of leverage—

Yunfeng’s favor, adding money, his own potential and influence, and individual benefits delivery.

Among them, adding money corresponds to premium.

Potential and influence correspond to Han Lie himself and his network, which may potentially help Byte in the future.

Individual benefits delivery corresponds to Han Lie’s investing capability—Byte executives like Chen Lin would be more inclined to accept him as a shareholder so they could entrust him with asset management.

Despite having four types of leverage, Han Lie still wasn’t 100% confident in acquiring Byte.

After all, his opponents were Sequoia, Lei Jun, and Sina.

And Han Lie could only provide money temporarily; everything else was pie in the sky or minor details.

Anyone with a basic grasp of internet venture capital knows that the resources represented by the Sina-Red-Lei trio can’t be replaced by money alone.

All relying on premium?

Spending money like crazy?

In the A round it’s possible, but by the B and C rounds, price is no longer the most important thing.

Han Lie couldn’t possibly put in 800 million just to get 5% of the shares, could he?

If he really did that, he’d have a hard time in the future.

Outsiders who brag online often find it easy to get carried away, thinking it’s not a big deal and that with basic conditions anything can be achieved. But in reality?

Han Lie had already made the greatest and most comprehensive effort, yet still felt it was difficult.

And Gu Zicheng’s proposal was a new heavyweight leverage.

How many large and small media outlets are there in Magic Capital?

Countless.

Gu’s father-in-law might only directly influence four or five official media outlets and seven or eight top media, but further extending, he might indirectly affect thousands of small and medium-sized business media...

Once most of Shanghai’s media collaborated with Byte, imagine the immense influence!

But what if it turns completely the other way around?

Zhang Yiming would probably be overwhelmed...

No way!

Calling Gu’s father-in-law that seemed too distant.

Fourth Father, please accept a bow from your son-in-law!

Han Lie was overjoyed inside but remained composed, taking the initiative to look at Tang Xintian.

The meaning was about — My dear, should I or should I not?

Tang Xintian felt the respect and was quite satisfied inside.

She never considered herself as just Han Lie’s girlfriend, so she couldn’t block him from doing proper work out of jealousy.

Receiving unexpected respect, she wasn’t as angry when looking at Gu Zicheng anymore.

"Orange’s view is deeper than mine, and her advice is more targeted. I think it’s pretty good, you can follow it if it helps you."

Tang Xintian spoke generously but firmly held her bottom line—

"You need to thank her properly, but pay attention to your approach; she’s someone whose desires are insatiable, don’t spoil her too much."

Listen!

What is the art of speaking?

Which straight man could possibly understand how exactly to thank Gu Zicheng?

Han Lie understood and nodded with a smile: "Got it, I’ll do exactly as you say."

Tang Xintian glanced at Gu Zicheng, originally expecting her to explode, but instead, she had no reaction at all.

Huh?

So calm?

Something’s off here...

Tang Xintian couldn’t figure it out, but the conversation continued harmoniously and smoothly without any incident.

Until 10:30, the uneasy Sister Da Tang yawned intentionally.

I’m sleepy, Doggy, see the guest out!

She thought, first get rid of Gu Zicheng, whatever mischief she wants to make won’t affect her.

But Gu Zicheng got up with a smile and headed straight to the second bedroom.

"Dear, I drank a little too much, and I’m feeling a bit dizzy, so I’ll just crash here for the night. You guys do whatever you want, don’t mind me."

"Hey! Don’t..."

Before Tang Xintian could finish her sentence, Gu Zicheng had already slammed the door shut.

"What’s up with her?"

Sister Da Tang was angry and confused, clearly feeling the sly fox had bad intentions, but she couldn’t for the life of her figure out where the trap was.

Doggy Lie chuckled inwardly, looking puzzled: "Huh? No idea... Whatever, I’m going on a business trip tomorrow. Let’s go, let’s chat more in the bedroom. I want you to help me go over the business negotiation process..."

Honestly, that excuse was as fake as they come.

But Tang Xintian couldn’t bear to expose it, nor could she refuse it.

She was already 26, fully mature in body and mind, and given how blissful last time had been, she had been reminiscing in her dreams every night.

So even with the annoying person in the next room, she couldn’t resist this rare reunion.

With a slight hesitation, she was enveloped in the embrace of the little wolfdog.

The surging warmth and hormonal haze instantly melted her.

She thought and thought, and suddenly gritted her teeth—after all, the sly fox already knew, who am I holding back for?

As for whether she’ll cause trouble...

Not afraid!

As long as I put in enough effort to tame the brat well, what mischief could she stir?

Let her toss and turn sleeplessly alone in the guest room at my house!

With this thought, she suddenly exuded a unique charm and aggression of a mature sister, her eyes twinkling as she mischievously smiled and lifted Han Lie’s chin.

"Young man, don’t cry for your mommy and daddy later..."

Huh?!

Han Lie was dumbfounded.

That bewildered look of his made Tang Xintian feel even more inflated and excited, so she took the initiative to A on him.

Goodness, are you serious?

Doggy Lie held back a laugh, choosing to let her take the lead, passively accepting.

Meanwhile, Gu Zicheng, who was slowly tidying up, let a cold smile emerge at the corner of her mouth.

Heh!

You won’t take the soft approach, guarding against me without any gaps, but how about the hard one?

Wait and see how you cry later!
