Reborn with Consumption System

Unlike Gu Tian, she didn’t stir things up recklessly, but studying film arts abroad, touring places like Holy Valley countless times, her mindset was already different from that of a normal woman.

So even if she’s beautiful, sexy, and extremely charming, from a powerful family, marrying her might not be the best decision.

"I really worry for that guy..."

Han Lie openly raised this point, which meant he didn’t consider Gu Zicheng as someone to put in the fish pond at all.

On the other end of the phone, Gu Zicheng sighed silently and then perked up, acting as if everything was normal.

"Don’t worry, that guy’s no good either. It’s purely a marriage alliance, we both know it, only our families insist it’s a well-matched marriage."

"Alright." Han Lie replied with a laugh, "As long as he doesn’t bother me."

"That would be impossible."

Gu Zicheng abruptly tore open the veil, laughed mischievously, "You’re so handsome, and we’re running a company together, he’s bound to be jealous!"

"I’m too lazy to deal with you."

Han Lie believed half of it but didn’t take it too seriously.

Many want to make trouble for me, who do you think you are?

"Stop wasting time, what should I bring for your parents? Tell me quickly so I can prepare."

Gu Zicheng offhandedly said, "Just something usual for the first visit, tea and cosmetics, nothing too expensive or hard to explain."

"Alright, that works."

Han Lie nodded in agreement.

They’re not asking the father-in-law to do favors, it’s just an exchange, the thought behind the gifts is what counts.

Then Han Lie hung up the phone and drove back to the Pan Family.

As it happened, Panzi was not at home, Zhao Anni was, so Han Lie straightforwardly expressed his needs, which elicited laughter and scolding from the mother-in-law.

"Could you take more at once and store it at the hotel? Stop going back and forth. Now Uncle Pan has to check the storage room every day at home, like he’s possessed... Really, it’d be better to just settle it all at once."

Gosh!

The mother-in-law’s sudden shift almost made Han Lie throw out his back.

Hmm, better short pain than long pain, right?

Han Lie pondered and then replied playfully, "Mom, the storage conditions at my hotel aren’t as good as at home... Let old Pan keep thinking about it, having something on his mind, it’s good that he comes home every day, right?"

"True..."

Zhao Anni nodded slowly, feeling it made sense.

Then she quickly packed for Han Lie, and upon hearing they were gifts for Gu Yian, she pulled out a box of premium Tieguanyin.

"Old Gu likes Tieguanyin, this is perfect!"

Tsk tsk, look at her information channels...

When Han Lie gathered the tea leaves and the complete set of Sea Blue given by the mother-in-law, Zhao Anni suddenly asked, "Speaking of coming home on time, why did you mess around until so late when you guys returned from the Imperial Capital last week?"

"Ah?!"

Han Lie was momentarily stunned by the question.

The main issue is, Zhao Anni doesn’t shoot lightly, if she asks, she’s definitely caught something.

So... should I stand by my brothers or...

Han Lie didn’t think much, displaying a look of bafflement, "Was it late? It shouldn’t have been... I had an important appointment that day, and before leaving, I asked Uncle Pan to send my regards to you!"

"Oh."

Zhao Anni nodded calmly, maintaining her fond smile towards Han Lie: "You are thoughtful... Okay, go ahead, attend to your business, and take good care of Nannan, spend a few more days outside."

Han Lie promptly made his getaway.

The wind is tight, retreat!

Look at Madam Zhao’s understated killing intent, she doesn’t even let her daughter go home...

After selling out Panzi, Han Lie endured the pangs of conscience, refraining from sending him any warnings.

Joking aside, offending the lead sister for the family’s fourth, I’m no fool!

...

Around four in the afternoon, Han Lie arrived at Gu Zicheng’s doorstep and was led into the TV compound.

Upon entering, Gu Yitang, who had been informed, stood at the front of the living room, then took two precise steps forward to greet Han Lie.

"Oh dear, hello Uncle Gu, how could I dare trouble you to get up, it’s just too grand!"

It truly was grand.

Old Gu currently serves as the vice president of the Culture Broadcasting Group, and also holds a post in the city.

The Culture Broadcasting Group is a special type of state enterprise, controlling the media, so the attributes of related leaders are different.

Speaking of the auto group, it’s heavy industry, massive in scale, its net assets dwarf those of Culture Broadcasting by five times, but Gu Yitang’s actual status is much stronger than Little Dou, usually dealing with top leaders in propaganda.

Peng Hu is also in Culture Broadcasting, serving as the president of Magic Capital Culture Broadcasting Capital Management Co., a lord in his own right, but two and a half ranks lower than Gu Yitang, unlikely to rise in this lifetime.

When old Peng visits the Gu family, Gu Yitang doesn’t even need to lift an eyelid while sitting on the couch.

Thus, Gu Yitang’s hospitality towards Han Lie was extraordinary.

And with Han Lie being so tactful, he would surely not accept it directly.

He quickly stepped forward, first bowing then extending his hand.

"Uncle Gu, it’s your nephew Han Lie, daring to disturb your rest, I truly feel anxious. This is Tieguanyin I took from my father-in-law’s place, I hope you’ll like it."

Gu Yitang used the handshake opportunity to scrutinize Han Lie’s brows and demeanor closely.

Hmm, eyebrow peaks are tidy, eyes clear, facial angles defined, yet his smile carries a rare youthfulness and sincerity, a good lad!

Old Gu felt very satisfied, laughing heartily.
