Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 417 - 203: Bad Water Oozing Out_3

"Being able to follow you is an honor I don’t deserve," she said.

Damn, she’s good! She really knows how to play the game! Even during such a grave and profound conversation, she didn’t forget to flatter Han Lie. Such professionalism! It would be a crime not to give her a "super satisfied" rating!

Han Lie felt extremely comfortable with this idle chat. It wasn’t a physical stimulus, but a higher level of achievement and satisfaction.

Yet, he still made no promises to Liang Wu. She wasn’t someone who would blindly believe in promises, and he himself didn’t see much meaning in them either. Rather than making empty promises, it was better to give tangible rewards.

"Find time to go to the Sheraton. Rent the room next to my executive suite, and put it on the company account. From now on, you’ll stay wherever I stay."

Her heart soared at his simple words.

"Yes, Boss!"

This signified a different level of trust. Compared to that, the money saved on rent and food was insignificant. Clearly, Brother Lie knew exactly what she wanted and provided it with heartwarming thoughtfulness.

Han Lie smiled and added, "Also, remind me on payday each month, and I’ll pay your personal assistant salary then."

This money wasn’t a subsidy; he couldn’t give several months’ worth in one go. After all, a payday should look like a payday.

"Yes, Boss!"

Her tone rose again with the same response, betraying her delight.

With perfect timing, the little Mercedes came to a smooth stop outside the school’s side gate. Han Lie instructed, "You go on. Come pick me up for the boxing club tonight."

Then he got out of the car himself. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Just as he steadied himself, he turned to meet two pairs of curious and somewhat sour eyes—it was Yu Yun and Yin Qin.

Han Lie frowned and took the initiative. "How did you two end up together?"

Yin Qin was so annoyed she dropped her usual sweet tone. "What do you mean ’end up together’? I’m the vice director, and Yun Yun is my top lieutenant. We’re both working for you, not messing around!"

Looking at Yu Yun, she maintained her innocent facade, cool as a cucumber.

"Brother Han, whose car did you ride in just now?"

Han Lie couldn’t be bothered to respond. He didn’t believe Yu Yun was unaware that it was Liang Wu’s car. How famous was Assistant Liang now, anyway? The gossips had already secretly dubbed her "the green tea bitch who licked her way to the top."

Ugh, thanks to Han Lie’s meddling, the Literary Arts Club was quite a mess now, averaging no fewer than ten dramas a day. Good grief, plenty of idle folks in the student council now looked forward to the excitement of the Literary Arts Club as entertainment for their days.

Brother Lie didn’t indulge their nonsense and laid into them directly. "Do you have business with me or not? If you do, hurry up and state it. If not, take me out to eat."

After being scolded, both of them actually grinned from ear to ear.

"No business, no business at all! Let’s go, Brother Lie. What do you feel like eating?"

Liang Wu sat in the car, watching their fawning antics with a silent chuckle. Not wanting to disturb the boss’s mood, she quietly drove off without a word.

Thus, Han Lie and the two beauties had lunch together in the cafeteria. Afterward, at their enthusiastic invitation, he watched rehearsals for a couple of programs that were already taking shape, spending a very pleasant and freewheeling afternoon.

Around 5 p.m., a message popped up on his QQ alias from Xi Luting.

"Master, I finally finished!"

"Fireworks for the grand finale!"

"Congratulations to us, our book has reached god-tier status!"

What?! The Goddess CEO is complete?!

Han Lie hadn’t been focusing on the novel at all recently. Hearing the news, he was surprised and felt a complex mix of emotions.

It wasn’t that he was attached to the "Quest for a Wife Turns Into a Funeral" plotline. It was more that he’d miss having such a great tool to tease Xi Luting with. I haven’t even had the chance to threaten her, scare her, or sweet-talk her into doing... *that* yet... Nope, I need to find more things for her to do!

The scoundrel’s eyes gleamed as wicked ideas began to bubble up; he quickly hatched a new plan.
