Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 469 - 221: Girl, You Have to Help Me!_3

Director Huang was also very courteous, his smile exceptionally warm.

"What a young talent! Little Han, do you think there might be a chance for us to collaborate with SPD Bank in the future?"

Han Lie was baffled by the question.

"Director Huang, my plan is to work in private equity..."

"Ah, you can pursue private equity, and wealth management doesn’t have to be delayed either!"

Director Huang waved his hand and proceeded to make Han Lie a grand promise, one Han Lie had been hoping for for a long time.

"Our branch is planning a rather high-level private banking client seminar soon. Would you be interested in giving an investment lecture for us? We can see how it goes, and then discuss other matters slowly, shall we?"

Oh man! I’m definitely interested in that!

In his past life, the private banking client seminar held by SPD Bank’s Xuhui branch had left an indelible mark on his young and pure heart.

Those two young married women were so beautiful; Han Lie couldn’t even describe the profound impact they had on him.

Well, if he had to make a comparison, it was as if Pan Ge and Xi Luting had meticulously maintained themselves until the age of thirty-five. Their skin would still be flawless, yet they would possess an added, exquisite charm cultivated by time.

From that day on, Han Lie refused to believe anyone who spoke ill of SPD Bank.

Facts speak louder than words; the private banking clients of China Merchants Bank, Minsheng Bank, and SPD Bank were truly high-end, sophisticated, and utterly captivating!

Han Lie was thrilled internally, yet he maintained a modest demeanor on the surface.

"Practical, combat-level techniques aren’t that easy to teach. I’m afraid it might affect the quality of your bank’s seminar..."

"Hey, whether the clients understand or not is one thing. As long as the intention behind the sharing is achieved, that’s what matters. So, is it settled then? I’ll ensure you receive the top-tier training fee."

Director Huang was insistent, so Han Lie no longer demurred.

"Alright then. Please give me advance notice so I can prepare the presentation materials."

The rest was casual conversation. The group discussed topics like Eurozone government debt, SHIBOR, and bank-securities channels, which Han Lie found quite overwhelming.

Han Lie didn’t interject, listening quietly and getting acquainted with a few mid-level managers from the finance industry. Then, Fifth Sister Jin called him out.

Fifth Sister Jin was Jin Meilun, the fifth child in her family.

"What scheme is Old Huang cooking up now?"

There was, in fact, an undercurrent of competition among the ’Fat Sheep Foursome.’ Jin Wu (Fifth Sister Jin) particularly disliked Huang Er and didn’t mince words.

Han Lie chuckled wryly. "Director Huang probably wants to assess my abilities. There will likely be further instructions later."

This wasn’t hard to guess. A private banking client sharing session hardly warranted someone of Director Huang’s stature to personally invite a speaker.

So what if the appearance fee was a million? Huang Xing wouldn’t care, and Han Lie wasn’t impressed by it either. There had to be future opportunities for cooperation for them to go to the trouble of sounding him out.

"Anyway, keep your distance from Old Huang. That man is the least reliable."

Fifth Sister Jin badmouthed Huang Er without any psychological burden, which was also a sign of her growing comfortable with Han Lie. Before they had become familiar, she had always maintained a magnanimous and forthright demeanor.

"My second sister has wanted to meet you for a long time. Come on, I’ll introduce you to a few big stars."

"You still care about stars?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"And why shouldn’t I?"

Fifth Sister Jin’s eyebrows and cheeks visibly relaxed, and she gestured with great enthusiasm.

"I was completely hooked on ’Startling by Each Step’ and ’Empresses in the Palace’ when they were airing! When I was young, I even had a crush on the Little Tigers!"

A shiver went down Han Lie’s spine. He glanced at her sideways. "Given how proficient you are at hiring male models, surely you haven’t also hired male celebrities to accompany you for drinks?"

"Of course! What else is money for?"

Fifth Sister Jin grinned broadly, relishing her own words for a moment before sighing.

"But don’t assume that accompanying someone for drinks always implies something nefarious. It’s quite normal to invite celebrities to attend events and dinner parties. Anything more than that depends on whether you have key resources and the right kind of ’Strength’. Besides, it also depends on the person. Many people have their eyes on little Hu, but who has succeeded?"

Han Lie instinctively glanced at Hu Ge, feeling a pang of worry for the guy.

Being targeted by a group of women in their forties and fifties all day long... what a ’promising’ life that must be...

As they chatted, they reached the area where the entertainment industry figures had gathered.

Second Sister Jin, President Cai, a middle-aged man with an artistic air, Wu Qilong, and Chef Xie were at the center of a circle, surrounded by young actors and actresses.

Second Sister Jin was very gracious. She moved forward several meters to meet Han Lie, opened her arms wide, and gave him a warm hug.

"Mr. Han, I’ve always wanted to invite you, but unfortunately, I never had the chance. I’m so glad to finally meet you today!"

"Second Sister, we’re practically family. Please, don’t be so formal."

Han Lie lightly hugged Second Sister Jin, who looked radiant and charming in her gown. She then smiled and led him into the center of the group.

"Mr. Han, let me make some introductions!"

The only person Han Lie didn’t recognize was a screenwriter and director from Emperor Entertainment named Liu Haoliang, the lead scriptwriter for ’Painted Skin’.

This man exchanged a few perfunctory words with Han Lie before turning to chat with Liang Lin.

Liang Lin was a very impressive and beautiful producer. Apparently, Emperor Entertainment had a project in the mainland, and Second Sister Jin had invited her to unwind today.

Not everyone at the party needed to cluster around the core figures. The term ’mingler’ is actually neutral in this context, and it was perfectly normal for people to form their own small circles for casual chats or get-togethers.

Chef Xie was rather aloof. He chatted briefly with Han Lie before moving to another small circle to become its center of attention.

Soon, only Second Sister Jin, Jin Wu (Fifth Sister Jin), President Cai, and Wu Qilong and his wife remained.

"Mr. Han, congratulations! A 45% return in one week, that’s truly incredible!"

Surprisingly, it was Wu Qilong who first brought up the topic of stocks.

Old Wu was actually a very modest, low-key, and polite person. He was currently transitioning into becoming a businessman and consistently praised Han Lie throughout their conversation, though without being sycophantic.

Maertai Ruoxi was very quiet, always holding onto Old Wu’s arm, offering a sweet smile from time to time.
