Reborn with Consumption System

Looking on the bright side, he might be trying to help Han Lie figure out Gao Yijun's conspiracy and make friends with Teacher Han.

But Han Lie is more skilled at looking on the dark side...

Is there a possibility that Director Wang is actually eyeing that piece of Gao Yuan Real Estate?

So he's trying to gauge the real relationship between Han Lie and Gao Yijun, as well as Han Lie's attitude towards Gao Yuan Real Estate, to decide on subsequent actions?

Han Lie couldn't be sure, but he had more tricks up his sleeve.

"Ha! How come the 20% shares of Gao Yuan Real Estate I hold feel like a landmine?"

Han Lie shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed, "If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered with Gao Yijun. Letting him get penalized to death would've been great!"

Director Wang smiled and replied with narrowed eyes, "Hey, penalized to death is unlikely. No matter how big the problem is, it has to be handled according to specific regulations.

At most, it's about flexibly adjusting between severe punishment and being lenient.

After all, our functional department doesn't aim to indiscriminately kill off all the erring enterprises. We also need to consider the district's long-term fiscal revenue and maintain market vitality while ensuring fairness.

However, personally, I'm not too fond of some of Gao Yijun's practices. His reputation has always been poor, and no one wants to deal with him.

Teacher Han, you're so potential and reputable, why are you mixed up with him?"

Master Fisherman's words were vague, but Han Lie understood them.

In simple terms: we can talk, but I won't talk with Gao Yijun. I don't trust him.

Severe punishment roughly equates to the maximum penalty.

Being lenient roughly equals letting it slide softly.

The reason is ready-made—the district sometimes values market fairness more and sometimes values market vitality more.

Exactly when to value what... don't ask, asking shows you don't get it.

In the last sentence, Director Wang again asked about the true relationship between Han Lie and Gao Diaomao.

Now, the mallet is in Han Lie's hands.

How Han Lie responds directly determines the final direction of this matter.

Director Wang deeply gazed at the young boy opposite him, took a deep puff of his cigar, and the swirling smoke obscured his expression.

Goodness!

Han Lie thought wryly: Is Director Wang really eyeing this rotten piece of Gao Diaomao?

Square Face, how are you handling this affair?!

Square Face was mentally prepared for this long ago and began to smooth things over with a cheerful tone.

"God Lie, Director Wang is in the prime of life, highly capable, and a very trustworthy good elder brother. I've always respected him a lot.

Brother Wang handles affairs very thoroughly. Mainly, it's unclear about your stance, so he made a special effort to sit down and clarify things with you. Otherwise, the penalty would have already been sent to Gao Yuan Real Estate. Who told Gao Yijun to be so reckless?

You don't even know how big the hole is, the auditors were shocked. It shouldn't have troubled Brother Wang, but the issue was truly shocking...

Only you have the face to let Brother Wang give some leeway, seriously!

Me, today, I brought neither mouth nor ears, you guys slowly discuss..."

Square Face's words translate as follows—

Director Wang has a bright future, and I can't handle him, it can only be a cooperative relationship.

Gao Diaomao is too foolish and ignorant, the tax issues were shocking, and the issue was reported to Director Wang as soon as it was verified. I couldn't stop it, nor could I.

Going forward, it's up to you. I don't know what you really want to do, you talk it out yourself.

...

At this point, blaming Square Face for being unreliable in handling affairs has no meaning.

Han Lie frowned, starting to think about how to satisfy Director Wang's appetite without affecting his own plans.

The most important thing is absolutely not to leave any evidence.

Isn't it quite troublesome?

No choice, once at a certain height, when enormous interests are involved, handling affairs is just that troublesome.

The same rule applies worldwide. The interest exchanges in the American drama "House of Cards" have exactly the same probing, speaking identical subtexts.

The root cause is the trust foundation.

What trust foundation is there between Han Lie and Director Wang?

Even if trust can be established now, as time passes and conditions change, can they always maintain that trust in the future?

If not, then every straightforward demand now becomes a knife for killing tomorrow.

If another Square Face emerges?

Even more reason not to be foolish!

That's why high-ranking people rarely speak "human language." If you understand, you understand; if not, you don't belong in this circle, nor can you accomplish this matter.

Why did Jack Ma's furious rant at banks cause an uproar?

Because he ignored the rules!

At a deeper level, it was because the main business of Ant Financial was being jointly resisted by major banks, and the financial risk caused by Ant's equity structure was being continuously questioned by industry scholars, leading Jack Ma to become frustrated and resentful, finally firing shots at a financial summit.

In fact, even before he fired those shots, regulators were already seriously scrutinizing Ant Financial's issues.

So, it wasn't that Daddy Ma floated, but was urgent. The furious rant at banks was not the real reason for Ant's suspension of listing, it was purely an emotional outburst.

Of course, after breaking the rules, he suffered a large deduction in scores with the management. That's the consequence of reckless speech.

Han Lie didn't want to leave any evidence for Square Face and Director Wang, so he chose to distance himself.

"I just have a business relationship with Mr. Gao. He couldn't afford the consulting fee, so he used equity to pay off the debt. But, what use do I have for the equity of a real estate company?

At the time, there was no choice. If I didn't take it, I wouldn't get the cash, so I had to hold my nose and endure it.

Goodness, I didn't expect it to be such a big pit!

Brother Wang, deal with it however you see fit!
