Reborn with Consumption System

"What do we need to do?"

"Strictly follow my instructions and handle the trading operations well."

Xia Hongjuan and Zheng Lei's excitement met Han Lie's calm, soon turning into a yearning laced with intense admiration.

"Brother Lie, you can count on us; there won't be any problems with our operations!"

"Wow! I can finally experience Brother Lie's stock trading artistry firsthand. This is so awesome!"

Han Lie took out the executive suite's door card and glanced at the number, saying, "Tomorrow morning at 8:30, bring your laptops and come find me in room 1808. By the way, you'll need to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Any problem with that?"

"Of course not!"

"Naturally!"

They both took the non-disclosure agreements at the same time. Xia Hongjuan flipped through hers briefly before signing, while Zheng Lei scrutinized every clause, occasionally asking Han Lie questions.

Their different approaches weren't a matter of right or wrong, but simply showcased their individual styles.

After signing, Xia Hongjuan waited quietly without rushing Zheng Lei.

And Zheng Lei, just because Xia Hongjuan had signed promptly, didn't forgo his right to understand the contract.

As a Magic Capital native with a strong commercial spirit, Xia Hongjuan had some understanding of the finance industry's confidentiality principles and firmly believed Han Lie wouldn't deceive her.

Meanwhile, Zheng Lei's father was a high-ranking official, and he had a strict upbringing. His personality was also cautious and meticulous, so he wanted to clearly understand his rights and obligations beforehand.

Neither approach was problematic, and both would become valuable assistants to Han Lie in the future.

The success rate of the Humanities and Finance class was very low, but the few who did succeed reached considerable heights.

By her own efforts, Xia Hongjuan had climbed to a middle-management position in a brokerage firm before the age of 35. Starting in marketing, she had managed departments and taught herself to independently write research reports, delving deeply into the pharmaceutical and internet sectors.

Her middle-management position wasn't particularly remarkable, with an annual income of only a million yuan, but she was fully prepared to aim for higher positions.

Around the age of 40, it was possible for her to reach a senior-level position or transition to being a fund manager.

And don't ever think writing a report is easy.

To write a good industry research report, one needs strong abilities in organizing and summarizing data and information, meticulous logical thinking, profound knowledge of the industry itself, and clear, structured communication skills.

And last but not least, you also have to be very good at making PPTs—cue the cheeky grin!

In short, industry researchers in brokerages and investment banks rarely hold postgraduate degrees from universities outside the top 985 tier.

A master's degree from a 211-tier university doesn't offer much competitive advantage in this field.

A lower educational level doesn't necessarily equate to lower intelligence, but it often implies weaker learning abilities. And those who lack strong learning capabilities can hardly become excellent industry analysts.

For Xia Hongjuan, a graduate from a Tier 3 university, to have reached such a level through self-study, it could only be said that she truly possessed outstanding talent and had been exceptionally diligent during her university years.

Oh, wait, that's not right. Xia Hongjuan is a graduate from a Tier 2 university; she's a local, so her diploma is Tier 2...

If someone gave her the opportunity and a platform to showcase her skills, her growth would undoubtedly be faster, and her potential peak even higher.

As for Zheng Lei, Han Lie's definition of him was: a born winner in life, one whose success was beyond envy.

Zheng Lei was a raw talent. He had never undergone formal training yet had naturally developed into an outstanding individual investor.

His explosive power wasn't his strong suit, but he was inherently skilled at defensive strategies, possessing the technical abilities and mindset to profit consistently through bear markets—a rare feat.

With careful guidance and cultivation, he had every chance of becoming a top-tier, stable-type fund manager, forming another cornerstone for Han Lie's company.

Why trust these two?

The financial industry is unique, with countless intricacies.

They were classmates, had a good relationship, and he could personally train them and gradually deepen their bond. If he didn't trust them, was he supposed to trust some externally recruited, twice-fried old dough sticks?

Tsk. Bringing Fang Feifei into the company would be more reliable than those "dough sticks."

「 」

As Zheng Lei read the agreement, he had many questions.

The more he asked, the more he admired Han Lie.

It seemed almost magical how Han Lie could provide detailed and clear explanations for every clause Zheng Lei didn't understand.

While Zheng Lei was still mulling things over, Xia Hongjuan finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lie, you even understand law?"

Are you kidding me? Law, Level 3!

Han Lie smiled faintly and replied, "I drafted the confidentiality agreement myself, so you could say I'm quite familiar with it."

His nonchalant boast hit the mark perfectly; the two promising newcomers were thoroughly impressed and regarded him with newfound respect.

Zheng Lei then asked, "Brother Lie, why can't I find a penalty clause for breach of contract?"

Han Lie, maintaining his cool and impressive demeanor, explained, "According to the Labor Contract Law, you can't directly stipulate a penalty for breach of contract in a confidentiality agreement; such a clause would be invalid. Therefore, I could only specify the terms of compensation for breaching confidentiality obligations and the method for calculating that compensation within the contract. Take a close look at clause 4.7.3."

Wow, no wonder you're the leader!

Xia Hongjuan and Zheng Lei simultaneously gave him a thumbs-up, utterly convinced.

"My dear God Lie, with talent like yours, how on earth did you end up at our school?"

Han Lie smiled but didn't answer, which made them even more convinced of Xi Luting's assessment.

Indeed, the wild theories 'Little Cucumber' (Xi Luting) had initially concocted had long since spread throughout the class and, with time, gained increasing acceptance. It was simply preposterous...

Zheng Lei genuinely had no intention of leaking any secrets, so after grasping the general rights and responsibilities outlined in the agreement, he signed it readily.

Tomorrow, the two of them would start working at the hotel, each responsible for three accounts, each worth ten million yuan.
