Chapter 880: Chapter 362: The Man Behind the Scenes (Part 2)

That’s it?!

Han Lie asked forcefully without showing any emotion, "What about that Mu guy behind you?"

"How can he compare with you?"

Fan Bingbing bit her lip and replied intermittently, "He’s just the owner of an entertainment company, with total assets not even reaching two hundred million. We’re partners, but just partners...

Because his scale isn’t large enough, I only partnered with him, you understand?

But you’re different...

You can help me earn more money, turn me into capital. We can be more than just partners, you know..."

Han Lie understood what she meant.

However, he still couldn’t understand how she made her decision.

"Why do you think I have the ability to help you become capital? I’m just an ordinary private equity manager, relying on my father-in-law’s connections to bluff. You’re overestimating me."

Damn man, still hiding things at this point!

Sister Bingbing gritted her teeth in anger, trying hard to control her itchy throat as she spilled the beans directly.

"Back when the Wang brothers wanted to go public, during their promotion to the investment leaders, I accompanied them for several drinking sessions and saw the true prestige and capability of the financial bigwigs with my own eyes.

President Wu of Huace told me personally, with your age and ability, as long as you can achieve a fund net value of 4 or above during the closed period this time, you’ll be able to command at least a quarter of the Magic Capital financial circle in the future, and no one in the Yangtze River Delta will disrespect you.

If he didn’t want to establish a good relationship with you, why would he sell Gu Man’s rights to you so easily?

The copyright fees were used to satisfy company requirements, but the favor fell onto him personally.

Everyone with a chance to interact with the bigwigs in your circle is betting, how am I not to start the fire early?

Wait, you’re not a cold stove,...

Teacher Han~~~is that okay?"

What she didn’t tell Han Lie was that, actually, the project of "Micro" and that Guo Qingting was likely to become the female lead of "You Are My Sunshine" was no secret among the high-level circles.

In total, spending over a hundred million to promote two women, countless female stars were enviously red-eyed.

But now, not many people knew Han Lie was the one behind them.

If it weren’t for her coincidentally having connections at Huace’s upper levels and keeping a close eye on Han Lie, she probably wouldn’t have guessed the truth.

This was a rare opportunity.

She told herself this, then brought out her long-present determination and blindly dove in.

If it succeeded, there would be a big gain, and even if it failed, it wouldn’t be a total loss. Why not take the plunge?

Seeing the little man still unmoved, as if contemplating something, she gritted her teeth hard and, as she rose, suddenly lost control and fell forward.

Ouch!

"Didn’t hurt you, did it? Let your sister take a look..."

WOW~~~⊙o⊙

What is this?!

...

...

On Friday, realizing that indeed no big brother would personally step in to request a quota, Han Lie simply divided the last remaining billion reserve quota.

He first asked Pan Dajun, who had money but needed to buy land in the provincial capital and relocate the company. He eventually squeezed out 30 million to invest in "Supernova One".

No need to mention the gratitude, in Dream City, the quota for "Supernova One" was not just a matter of how much money it made, but a symbol of status.

Incidentally, Pan Dajun also asked Han Lie to take care of Pan Shaohang for him—this guy didn’t return to Dream City and somehow got mixed up with Liu Yingjun’s group, having so much fun he forgot his worries.

Too busy to deal with him, don’t find me if there’s no problem.

The remaining 70 million all went to the little chubby one.

She dared to gamble and only requested a standard contract, so it was meant to be hers.

Late to the game, but ended up with the most.

A person’s fate is indeed closely related to their character. Those who dare to gamble always win more, but those who keep gambling will lose everything eventually.

Oh right, the little chubby one isn’t, in fact, chubby. Off-camera, she indeed has a top-notch curvy physique, worth a 95 score.

Played a friendly game on Friday night, and the next day she left clutching her backside.

Beast!

— From a WeChat farewell.

...

"Supernova One" just made up the 2.5 billion, closed the slate, and filed the record.

On February 27, both funds of Zhongmei completed their fundraising and started the process.

A committee member from the Fund Association directly called Han Lie, "At most 7 working days, rest assured."

The market was sluggish, so Han Lie naturally wasn’t in a hurry.

Everything was ready by mid-March, just in time for position building.

When almost everything was busy, the new semester finally started. Han Lie had no special attachment to the campus, just a little bit of missing Xi Luting.

After a holiday, how had her novel outline progressed?

More importantly, besides the exhilaration, how would she view her engagement with Pan Ge?

Han Lie quietly logged into his QQ alt account, turning back into Teacher Ham.

There were a few messages in QQ.

Mostly asking about plot and character design, the last one from three days ago—I’ve finished my outline, Master, do you have time to help review it?

Han Lie received the offline document, opened it and...goodness! Are you aiming for the heavens?

The new novel is essentially still a romantic story with an Immortal Realm skin, following a sweet and painful intertwining path.

But its brilliance lies in her distinct addition of an advancement system and motivation to the main storyline, with the core narrative no longer solely focused on intimate relationships.

The outline can be simply summarized as—the male lead betrays the childhood sweetheart female lead, attaches to the Immortal Realm princess Ge, establishes a foundation in ten days, becomes renowned, blah blah blah.

Then the female lead, with the mindset of "I will defeat him openly in front of everyone, then ask if he regrets it," starts working hard on cultivating immortality, blah blah blah.

Eventually discovering his hardships, that he’s a destined savior, while the princess Ge is lofty, creating troubles and misunderstandings, blah blah blah.

Then sweet, then painful, then sweet, then painful, and so forth.

Ultimately, the male lead sacrifices himself, the female lead retreats to the mountains with their child, and the evil supporting female ends up alone on the Immortal Realm’s throne.

The classic scene and classic line within is when the female lead nonchalantly resolves a big problem, giving the princess Ge a sidelong glance, disdainfully snorting: "Little cabbage."

Then the second female lead gets all steamed...kind of cute.

Han Lie understood it.

Then laughed for half an hour and enthusiastically encouraged her, "It can be a hit! Just follow this path!"

He didn’t know if it would be a hit, but after publishing, Pan Ge would definitely be particularly furious...

But before that, he couldn’t let Xi Luting be too comfortable.

However, how should he lure her out when she’s having a little tantrum?

The sly guy rolled his eyes, then turned around and issued an ultimatum to Pan Ge, "All busy stuff is almost done, can accompany you properly these days, happy now, dear?"

Receiving the message, Pan Ge shivered all over, and without a word, immediately dialed Xi Luting’s number.

"Dear, I miss you so much! Let’s go shopping tomorrow; I’ll treat you to a big meal!"

Xi Luting was quite wary, "Why are you suddenly so kind?"

Pan Ge, lying through her teeth, didn’t even blink an eye, "You have no idea how boring my holidays were, staying home alone every day, almost drove me crazy... Let’s agree, I’ll pick you up from school tomorrow, mua!"

Xi Luting sensed something was off, but she never imagined that after just one holiday, previously feeble Pan Ge was now completely scared of facing the sly Han alone, just absurd.

Unimaginable, naturally unguarded.

So she coolly responded to Han Lie’s invitation, "Recently no time to bother with you, entertain yourself!"

The sly Han looked at the messages from Xi Luting and Pan Ge, stroked his chin, and chuckled...
