Reborn with Consumption System

It was easy to understand. Han Lie's own account had already accumulated 650,000 in assets. Pan Ge's account had reached 1.77 million. Panzi and Dou's 20 million had been pushed up to 38.89 million. He was on the verge of earning enough for an apartment in the Magic Capital. How could Han Lie possibly still have the leisure to go all out on the competition account?

Han Lie truly thought this way, his mindset remarkably relaxed. Second place is pretty good; it saves worry. As long as I can maintain a top-five position, any rank will do. Yet, quite a few girls couldn't resist coming to comfort him… which was absurd.

Chen Yanfei, Ding Xiang, Xi Luting, Pan Ge, Yu Yun, Wang Tianqing…

My goodness, there were about twenty or thirty in total, roughly one-third of all the beauties in the arts faculty.

People like Qu Pingting and Liu Huanxin could barely be considered acquaintances; they were members of the Li Yi team. As for the few pretty girls from the neighboring accounting class, he hadn't actually spoken to them at all; they just had lectures together in the same classroom. There were even those he had neither chatted with nor ever met.

The more straightforward ones said, "Getting second place is already amazing! Keep it up, you're always the best in my heart!"

The more subtle ones said, "Have you been feeling tired lately? Make sure you rest well!"

And the inexplicable ones: "Minister Han, I'm an artistic activist who has been doing ballet since childhood. When might you have some time? Could you come and give me some guidance?"

Brother Lie was bewildered. How am I supposed to guide these ballet-dancing girls? By checking if their splits are straight and smooth?

Han Lie glanced at the photo the girl sent via QQ and casually tossed it aside. She was quite elegant and pretty, but truly not beautiful enough. Girls like her shouldn't come and waste my time…

But it was evident that after Han Lie became the head of the arts department, his fame had soared even higher. Whether he was hands-on or not was secondary. His prowess in stock trading, coupled with the school's high regard for him, had led many girls to view him as a campus god, their eyes practically sparkling with hearts whenever they mentioned him.

Frankly speaking, it indeed greatly satisfied his vanity. Men like to be admired and worshipped by beautiful girls; it's disingenuous not to admit it.

And so, Han Lie was thoroughly comforted by the girls for two days. Then, on Thursday, there was a dramatic turn of events.

Jinbin, after hitting three consecutive limit-ups, suddenly lured in buyers during Thursday's early trading session before plunging. Meanwhile, Wei Hua, which had been trending upwards with fluctuations and gained less than 15% over three days, suddenly surged to a strong limit-up on Thursday.

With one stock's plunge and the other's surge, Han Lie once again topped the weekly leaderboard.

After the market closed, God of Stocks Lie replied one by one to that group of girls—

"Thanks for the concern, no major problems."

Good grief, he played it so cool. Even Emperor Qin, if he came back to life, would have to give him a thumbs up.

The next day, Friday, Wei Hua opened with its first straight-line limit-up since its rise began, and the price held incredibly firm.

His fourth weekly championship was secured easily, and all his accounts had doubled.

Panzi had endured for a full six days without calling Han Lie, probably because he couldn't swallow his pride. Today, however, he finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Xiao Han…"

Tsk, that's not the tone of a 'good big brother.' So, the love is gone, huh?

Han Lie didn't dare to act rashly and obediently responded, "Uncle Pan, is there something you need?"

Panzi, forcing himself to maintain a steady and imposing demeanor, grunted affirmatively. "Right. The money in the account has doubled, hasn't it? Your Uncle Dou and I discussed it, and we feel we can't make you wait for the end-of-month settlement anymore. So, if you're free later, let's go out for a meal, and Old Dou and I will settle your share with you. In addition, a couple of friends want to meet you; it'll be good to chat together…"

Are we drinking today? Han Lie really wanted to ask. But after thinking it over, he decided to save some face for his potential father-in-law.

So, he asked in a different way, "I've already made dinner plans with Pan Ge. How about I bring her along?"

Old Pan unexpectedly became delighted and laughed heartily. "Good, good! Bring her along! Today, Uncle will treat you to wild Da Huang fish!"

After hanging up, Han Lie pondered for quite a while and suddenly had a revelation.

Good heavens! Panzi, Panzi, you're really in a rush to be my dad, huh?! Well then, it looks like I won't be able to call him 'Brother' today. But that's not a big deal. Pan Pan and I can just stick to our respective forms of address.~~~
