Reborn with Consumption System

The next day, Han Lie was woken up by a call from Panzi.

Half asleep, he answered the phone to hear an angry accusation: "You little scoundrel, you set me up!"

"Huh?"

Han Lie was completely clueless!

So, in an urgent tone, he asked, "Dad, what’s going on? Don’t worry, I’ll have Nannan listen with me, take your time to explain!"

Panzi was stunned.

Damn!

Has anyone seen a son-in-law this shameless?!

The words got stuck in Panzi’s chest, leaving him speechless.

Then, Dog Lie really nudged Pan Ge, who was sleeping next to him. But Pan Ge, the little sleepyhead, didn’t wake up and mumbled, "What? Annoying..."

Dog Lie moved the phone a bit away and improvised in a very serious tone, "Wake up, our dad seems to have something going on..."

"No, no, no!"

Panzi was startled and quickly changed his tone.

Having been disciplined by his wife for lying about drinking with women, then confronting his son-in-law about it — such a shameful matter, how could he possibly tell Pan Ge?

"Well, I’m still not sober, called the wrong number... you guys go back to sleep... good! Son! In-law!"

Panzi spat out the last three words through gritted teeth, but it was no use, and he hung up, frustrated.

Dog Lie casually tossed the phone aside, smirking disdainfully, "Tsk! Clueless!"

Do you really have no idea of your place in the family...

Then he snuggled back with Panzi’s precious daughter for another nap.

As for what kind of beating Panzi took... couldn’t care less, not my business!

...

Slept till he woke up naturally, starting the day’s busyness.

Gu Yitang’s secretary had already contacted last night, and this morning, sent a message to Han Lie.

"President Han, I’ve already communicated with the heads of the relevant media about your cases. There’s not much of an issue, nothing involving core interests, and the few local ones in the Magic Capital will soon withdraw the lawsuits..."

"Thanks, thanks!"

Han Lie enthusiastically invited, "Secretary Zhang, how about I arrange a gathering later, and we sit down for a meal and chat?"

Secretary Zhang politely yet sincerely declined.

"President Han, I would love to learn from you face-to-face, I’m already quite familiar with your reputation.

But you might not know, the nature of my job is such that I have very little freedom, usually very busy. The only day I have to be with my family in the past half-month is today, and I’ve long planned to take my daughter to the amusement park, so...

Can we arrange for me to organize a meal either tomorrow or the day after, and we can talk about both business and personal matters together?"

Oh wow, this guy is interesting!

Han Lie felt quite a liking for Secretary Zhang, who managed things well and wasn’t neglectful, so he readily agreed.

"Then tomorrow night, add me from ByteDance, there will be about eight people attending, you can decide the location for the meal, we won’t leave until we meet!"

"Alright, alright, thanks for understanding..."

Secretary Zhang’s posture was very humble, but this wasn’t always the norm; another secretary might be bold enough to snub Han Lie, so Han Lie was also very courteous.

"It’s not necessary, Secretary Zhang, I’ll repay your hospitality later on."

...

At 10:30 in the morning.

Zhang Lidong landed in the Magic Capital with Chen Lin and the legal team, a group of five people.

Today was Sunday, their original plan was to meet with Han Lie, push a bit on the lawsuit, and then investigate Han Lie’s company tomorrow.

The main goal was to review Tianhang’s various materials to have a good understanding of their second-largest shareholder.

Third brother Han drove the company business car to pick them up and settled them at the Ritz-Carlton below the company.

Han Lie and Liu Minghao were waiting in the hotel lobby. Zhang Lidong quickly walked up and greeted warmly, "President Han, how could we trouble you... oh, where’s President Pan?"

Dog Lie almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

President Pan?

Perhaps he wasn’t quite presentable today...

Of course, in front of others, one must maintain his dignity, so Han Lie casually fabricated an excuse.

"President Pan is inspecting another project, and the project’s initiator is quite tricky. He might not be free in the next two days, he asked me to apologize on his behalf..."

"Oh, no, not at all!"

Zhang Lidong quickly waved his hand, "I just really miss President Pan, his insights in management have benefited me greatly!"

Oh yes, yes, his insights in getting beaten by the wife hold even greater learning value!

The group chatted a bit and quickly got to the main topic.

"President Han, when can we start the public relations?"

"Public relations? For what?"

Han Lie lightly smiled and said, "You’re on our turf now, how can we let our guests worry about such things?"

"Huh?!"

Zhang Lidong understood the implication of Han Lie’s words but was a bit in disbelief.

Such a troublesome matter, there was no action when they communicated with President Liu just two days ago, and this trip’s main goal was to nudge Tianhang to make an effort, could it be...

He turned his head in amazement to look at Liu Minghao.

President Liu?

Liu Minghao smiled and nodded, confirming his guess.

"Yes, the media here in the Magic Capital has already been dealt with. It’s too late to process it today, but the lawsuit will be withdrawn tomorrow."

He paused, then said meaningfully, "Rest assured, Director Zhang. You’ll only clearly feel the influence of Teacher Han when you come to the Magic Capital. This matter, it didn’t even need President Pan to take action..."

Look at how Old Liu flatters!

So uniquely refreshing!
