Reborn with Consumption System

Gu Zicheng shrugged nonchalantly, "It’s nothing, she warned me not to have delusions, not to ruin your relationship, and if there’s something I want, I could discuss it with her, and she might help as appropriate..."

Oh, sounds like something Sister Da Tang would do.

Han Lie laughed and asked with interest, "So how did you bring it up to her?"

"I said: You’re not even his legitimate wife, why do you care what I want?"

Gu Zicheng let out a mischievous laugh, sly as a fox.

"I provoked her, subtly suggesting she snatch you away, then made a list of demands she could never meet... like..."

Ahem, your demands are too much!

But then he finally understood what this girl really wanted to do—simply put, she feared the world wasn’t chaotic enough, wanted to stir up trouble, then reap the benefits amidst the turmoil.

Anything she gets is a win; even if not, at least she found excitement.

Han Lie felt he couldn’t indulge such dangerous ideas, so he decisively threw out some bait.

"A house in Tomson Riviera, three cars of your choice, at least ten million in yearly spending—will that make you behave a little?"

"Tch! You think I’m just after your money?"

Gu Zicheng scoffed, her eyes clear, showing no sign of insincerity.

Han Lie was puzzled, "If not, then what? True love? Come on!"

"Well, not quite that."

Da Cheng was indeed fierce,

The dog-like Lie said calmly, "Then you better ask me nicely... but I might not agree. You don’t lack men, I don’t lack women, I don’t see any need to force this."

"You dog scumbag, how heartless you are!"

Gu Zicheng cursed, but she seemed even more delighted.

She even licked her lips...

Then straightforwardly confessed, "Money is one thing, excitement is more important, but most importantly, it’s the admiration, jealousy, prestige, and flattery that I can enjoy by being publicly seen by your side... all those things that satisfy my shallow vanity.

Moreover, my parents do have some connections, but they are mainly in the cultural entertainment sector, and mostly in the Shanghai branch.

Here, the bourgeois are snobbish and exclusive, resulting in... sigh!

Forget it, doesn’t matter if I don’t mention it.

Anyway, I’m not content with simply being a producer hopping around setting up projects, socializing daily, drinking until I get a stomach ulcer, struggling to find funding and then having to talk my way into projects, perhaps even less capable than Cai Yinong.

The film and television industry, you might not understand, but basically, this place can’t be managed just by having connections.

As a content-production industry, platform, channel, script, director, actor... any weak link can severely limit success.

Hua Yi has money, Feng Xiaogang, countless good actors, but now that Feng Xiaogang has thoughts of independence, they’re immediately on a downturn.

Tencent has IP sources, film and television platforms, and spin-off industries like gaming and comics, and can afford to lose billions of US Dollars every year, yet they haven’t produced a real hit until now...

It shows how hard it is to build a true entertainment empire.

I might not have such grand ambitions, but at least I want to create a listed company, be at the top of the industry, right?

Otherwise, what’s the point of all my hard work, disciplined fitness, and active socializing?

I might as well lazily eat and wait to die, play until I’m old enough to marry some rich second-generation with cool parents, at least that’s not exhausting!

Following others, I see no hope for a breakthrough.

But you’re different, I found your connections not only broad but far exceed the second generation in level.

Most importantly...

You are at the core in your network, with incredible influence.

You’re naturally the most amazing, most dazzling man, you know?

Even though you can’t help me with content, you can ensure I have no worries and can focus on content production.

And if you are willing to create a stable product for the entertainment industry, pulling in more stars, actors, directors as clients, it’s very possible I can conquer the world with just appearances.

So the nonsense Tang Xintian said can’t possibly persuade me.

What can she give me?

I just want to be your agent in the entertainment industry, after all, you certainly don’t care about such small profits, why not use it to amuse me?

As long as you agree, I promise to be obedient, and...

I’ll do my best to handle Tang Xintian for you!~~~"

What the...!

Are you a devil?

Han Lie was not only shocked by Gu Zicheng’s candor but also by her clarity and boldness.

This girl isn’t infatuated at all?

On the contrary, she knows exactly what she wants and how to get it.

When there was no connection before, her tactics layered like a thousand-layer cake; now without stakes, she immediately resorts to full devotion, sacrificing herself first before anyone else...

Look at the terms she offered, as a responsible and upright good man, how could Han Lie bear to refuse?!

"Ha! No way I’m going to conspire with you against Xintian!"

Brother Lie spoke with righteous indignation.

But...

Looking closely at his wording, it’s friggin’ interesting—

"I can’t control how you’d fool around, but if you hurt Xintian or my fiancée, I guarantee you won’t get any of the things you want."

Gu Zicheng was stunned, then suddenly squinted and smiled like a demon.

"Hurt?

How could I bear to hurt Xintian?

We are bosom friends, as close as sisters in love..."

She paused, startling Han Lie, almost thinking she was going to veer off and shout "add money".

But she didn’t.

She just raised an eyebrow at Han Lie, full of meaning, "You insatiable wolf cub, just watch me..."

With a "ding", the elevator reached the top floor and then went down again, so Han Lie responded no more, turned around, and stepped into the car.

Who are you calling a wolf cub?

If I don’t agree, then I’m not one!

Gu Zicheng followed gracefully, brushing past a couple exiting the elevator, drawing their simultaneous head turns and dumbfounded gazes.

Of course, the man looked at Jelly Orange, the woman at Wolf Dog Lie; it was fair.

Until the elevator doors closed again, the couple snapped back, staring at each other furiously.

"Still looking? Can’t tear your eyes away, can you?"

"Aren’t you the same?"

"I was just checking if he’s a celebrity, being so tall and stylish! What were you looking at?! Identifying people by their chest, huh?!"

The argument faded away, Dog Lie and Dog Orange exchanged a look and suddenly smiled.

There was some tacit understanding after all.

Then, when knocking on the door, facing Tang Xintian’s suspicious yet feigning indifference inquiry, both simultaneously concealed their conversation downstairs.

"What took you so long? I’ve been waiting ages for you two."

"She was demanding benefits from me."

"I asked him to choose between us two!"

Instantly, the dramatic conflict hit its peak.

The brilliant mind of Sister Da Tang, a top Harvard psychology graduate, couldn’t handle being toyed with by one actor and one actress like this.

Family, this completely wasn’t in the script!

Every look they cast was a performance!

So, Sister Da Tang’s thoughts immediately strayed.

"What benefits for her? Does she deserve it?"

"And why are you on par with me? Don’t provoke me!"

Han Lie leisurely walked into the living room, sat down on the sofa like a lord, and began watching the USC drama major perform...
