Reborn with Consumption System

"Your father-in-law? Hahaha, the tea leaves Pan Shengwu treasures must be good stuff. Han, thank you! Come, sit down!"

Da Cheng’s mom also came out upon hearing, carrying a basket of freshly washed fruit.

Yes, even the leader’s family eats fruit...

"Oh, is this Han? This kid is really handsome and righteous! Sit down, sit down, have some fruit!"

Gu Zicheng hugged her mom, barely able to hold back her laughter.

Righteous?!

Dog Lie?!

No matter how she looked, she couldn’t find the rogue or wickedness in Han Lie that he used to have.

He looked kind and gentle, naturally upright, with an incredibly fresh demeanor.

Huh?

Little brother acts like a well-behaved child so naturally...

Gu Zicheng was a bit confused, increasingly feeling that the youth in front of her was truly mysterious, both surprised and delighted inside.

Everyone took their seats, and Gu Yitang and Qin Ruomian started chatting with Han Lie about everyday matters.

Normally, Mother Gu wouldn’t be so relaxed, but Han Lie’s demeanor was particularly to her liking, so they talked a lot about family matters, firmly believing the Han Family must be a wealthy family.

Han Lie explained that his parents were ordinary workers, but she refused to believe it, asserting, "Then your grandparents’ generation must have been scholars, just look at you, they raised you so well!"

Ah right, right, my upbringing has always been good...

Han Lie didn’t argue with her, only picked the nicest things to talk about.

After a dinner, Gu Zicheng didn’t show any flaws, behaving utterly well at home.

Best Actor + Best Actress, appearing completely pure.

Afterwards, they went to Gu Yitang’s study to drink tea, finally getting to the main topic of the day.

At home, Old Gu didn’t speak any official jargon, very straightforward.

"Han, you’re a promising kid. Actually, I’ve understood your situation for some time—it’s sure that not all the money Peng Hu invested in Supernova One is his own!"

Han Lie was really a bit surprised.

My goodness, Peng Hu and Gu Zicheng, you two hid this well, huh?!

But it was clear Gu Zicheng was hearing this for the first time, eyes widened: "Dad, our family has shares in Han Lie’s fund?"

Gu Yitang took a sip of tea, glanced at his daughter, didn’t answer.

"Han, logically and emotionally, I will definitely support you in your endeavors, only the level of support may vary.

Now that Chengcheng told me you’ve started a company together, bringing you closer, then Uncle Gu won’t falsely promise you anything—your business, it’s manageable!

In the group, I rank low among Vice Presidents, overseeing only newspapers, magazines, and internet new media. Previously, I also managed content creation and copyright operations, quite suitable for your current situation.

Take this business card, call my secretary tomorrow, he will help you settle the lawsuits.

As for later, how your news platform collaborates with media of the Magic Capital, you can discuss normally, I shouldn’t directly interfere..."

A leader can’t force subordinates, that’s not proper management.

But since the lawsuit was handled, how could others refuse collaboration?

Gu Yitang’s help was thorough and effective.

And Han Lie naturally knew how to reciprocate.

"Uncle Gu, I feel a bit guilty for your generous support.

As for the film company, I’m afraid I won’t have much time to oversee it, at most I’ll authorize it, all burdens will be on Cheng alone, it’ll surely be tiring and busy, so I hope you and Aunt Qin won’t blame me for overburdening Cheng..."

Though appearing as an apology, it was indeed a statement—this new company is Gu Zicheng’s stage, I won’t interfere with her, she’ll have ample space to perform.

And this was exactly what Gu Yitang wanted.

He indeed had connections and contacts, but even his millions couldn’t achieve much in the entertainment circle, nor could he bring it all out for Gu Zicheng to start a company.

It’s inconvenient.

Yet with Han Lie investing, Gu Zicheng managing, and distributing equity based on credit, it’s different.

Externally, it’s open and fair, beyond reproach.

Internally, Han Lie doesn’t need to leverage Gu Yitang’s power via Gu Zicheng, they can cooperate trustingly.

Gu Yitang wasn’t short of investors willing to help Gu Zicheng; it’s never been about that, their family couldn’t find trustworthy outsiders without complex interests.

Otherwise, letting Gu Zicheng make some bad movie or variety show and having Oriental TV procure it, isn’t that easy?

Old Gu disdained playing that blatantly.

Magic Capital, as the national economic center, the second major hub, everyone cherishes credibility, unlike the Inland Provinces with a different ecology.

"Hahaha, you!"

Gu Yitang laughed heartily, accepted Han Lie’s gesture, enhancing their closeness further.

"Alright, how many media are suing Headline? Sort it out, hand it over to my secretary, I’ll see if any friends can manage..."

If he’s willing to handle it, how could there be anything unmanageable?

Thus, the Byte issue was resolved.

Tomorrow when Zhang Lidong and the others come, there’s no big deal, just watching Han Lie act cool with wide eyes.

Even if someone wants to enter and grab a piece from Han Lie, they’ll definitely fail to sway Zhang Lidong and Zhang Yiming’s resolve.

Although money still isn’t gathered enough, the 20% shares in Byte are already within Han Lie’s grasp.
