Reborn with Consumption System

Shock, awe, disconcertment… a mix of all emotions.

In the end, it was actually Shunzi who first took the initiative to applaud, and enthusiastically fawned, "Please, Minister Wang, make a speech and outline our tasks!"

Good heavens, everyone looked up, stunned.

Shunzi, however, ignored everyone else and just kept clapping, excitedly watching Wang Tianqing.

If you didn't know any better, you'd think he was Wang Tianqing's suitor.

Wang Tianqing finally put down her pen, raised her head, and with a lethargic lean back in her chair, succinctly made the sole ad-hoc arrangement for her temporary takeover.

"Everyone, continue with your current tasks and await notification for the next meeting. Dismissed!"

The crowd was speechless.

Then, they watched, dumbfounded, as Wang Tianqing tidied up her desk and walked away with style.

Honestly, she carried herself with impressive flair.

Shunzi's expression froze. Guo Li leaned back in his chair forcefully, and Yang Jinming let out a heavy sigh.

Yin Qin pulled out her chair irritably and stormed off.

Tan Xuan followed right after her.

The two walked in silence. It wasn't until they were near the school gate that they had their first conversation.

"Qin Qin, why does every woman around Han Lie suddenly become so full of confidence?"

Yin Qin was taken aback by the question.

She never expected that her good sister, after holding it in for so long, would come up with such a question.

Isn't her focus a bit off?!

Tan Xuan suddenly stopped walking, turned around, and looked at her good sister with piercing eyes.

She asked again, "Don't you think both of them have changed a lot?"

Well, indeed.

Xi Luting and Wang Tianqing were both acquaintances. They had previously been somewhat immature, but their recent performances were truly astonishing.

After thinking it over, Yin Qin pouted, "Alright already! I get what you mean. I know Han Lie is amazing, and I won't offend him anymore!"

Tan Xuan's eyes widened, and she and Yin Qin stared at each other in astonishment.

In fact, that wasn't what Tan Xuan meant; she was simply curious.

But… Qin Qin's interpretation wasn't wrong, was it?

You become like the company you keep; if you often have deep conversations with impressive people, you'll improve too, right?

"So, will you come to the reorganization meeting?"

"Of course I'm coming!"

Yin Qin suddenly clenched her small fists, her fighting spirit surging. "I have to see for myself just how formidable Han Lie really is!"

Right, Tan Xuan knew from Yin Qin's lapse into her local dialect that her friend was truly serious about this.

Of course, Tan Xuan herself was also very curious.

Xi Luting from the day before and Wang Tianqing today—both had been unexpectedly cool and impressive.

...

The school acted swiftly. At half-past three in the afternoon, while Han Lie was reviewing his trades, he suddenly received a call from Director Che, instructing him to go directly to the Student Council for a meeting.

"It's all set. You'll be in full charge of the Arts Department's affairs. If any issues arise that you can't handle, have Wang Tianqing report them to the Student Affairs Office. You don't need to deal with Director Zhang directly…"

Wow, that last piece of advice was ridiculously biased.

It was clear they had already found someone to take the fall for Han Lie!

Han Lie would get all the benefits, Wang Tianqing would get all the trouble, and if anything went wrong, Wang Tianqing would be the one reprimanded…

I absolutely love it!

Han Lie grinned and readily agreed, feeling that this work was becoming increasingly interesting and engaging.

As for what Wang Tianqing thought…

That didn't matter.

For 150,000 yuan a month, forget just taking the fall, she'd have to carry him on her back with a grin... and wouldn't dare complain even if he called her unflattering names.

After hanging up, Han Lie browsed the forum for a while.

Wei Hua's stock was a bit weak today. It fluctuated at a high level all day and then, quite shrewdly, closed as a red doji star.

Compared to yesterday, the decline was 1.77%.

However, Han Lie managed to make a 0.58% margin through T+0 trading, so his profit retraction was less than 1.2%.

He hadn't done particularly well; he failed to perfectly time the highs and lows. Otherwise, he might not have incurred any loss at all.

Of course, such things are all too normal.

In real life, there indeed are super traders who can perform better than Han Lie in short-term trades.

However, true stock market gurus aren't defined by how brilliantly they execute trades or how precise and sharp their timing is, but rather by their ability to consistently make the right decisions while effectively managing risk.

In the current market environment, the right thing to do was to hold tight to Wei Hua; minor details were unimportant.

In the long term, honing one's short-term trading skills was also the right decision, even if it meant temporary losses.

There was also other good news—

The number of people discussing Wei Hua shares on the stock forums was increasing. Those predicting doom and those optimistic about its prospects were equally vocal, simultaneously driving up the hype. This was a very healthy sign.

Han Lie was already quite certain he would make a big sum of money and gain fame from Wei Hua.

And fame.

In the competition section, discussions about '1358' were already buzzing. His heavy bets on popular, volatile 'demon stocks' and his adept T+0 trading were all points of admiration and hype.

Consequently, collaboration invitations were increasing daily.

Han Lie amusedly browsed his email for a while before setting off just in time.

On the way, he chatted idly with Chen Yanfei about that bunch of big and small swindlers.

Chen Yanfei didn't understand, "Aren't many of those partners reputable institutions? Why call them swindlers?"

"The financial circle," Han Lie patiently explained, "is a bit like the entertainment industry. In both, it's especially easy to convert fame into cash—and large amounts of it at that.

"Especially after you've made a name for yourself in the secondary market, even a so-called 'teacher's' fart is considered fragrant.

"So, you see, why are they spending money to collaborate with me? They want to use my fame and track record to make money for themselves.

"If they genuinely offered a substantial amount, that would be one thing; we could call it a win-win cooperation. But offering so little? Aren't they essentially just trying to exploit my youth and inexperience?"

Chen Yanfei chuckled, "Ha! 'Young and inexperienced,' indeed~~~"
