Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 542 - 245 No one understands kindness better than Brother Lie_3

As long as it exists, it’s a benefit at no cost—no need to thank me!

Lü Shuli could see Liu Minghao’s mentality—his delight in seeing things unfold and even his efforts to push them along—perfectly clearly.

How could she possibly hold a grudge against Liu Minghao? You sold me to a top-tier elite, a predestined future big shot, a chosen one—talk about flattering me.

But she still felt uncomfortable about it.

It was hard to explain exactly what was wrong, but something was just off, a mix of self-pity and self-blame.

So, she looked expectantly at Han Lie, even though she herself had no clear idea what she was hoping for.

Han Lie was about to crack a joke when he suddenly caught Lü Shuli’s gaze, and something stirred in his heart.

Therefore, the playful remark that was on the tip of his tongue suddenly changed.

"Stop that nonsense!"

Han Lie pointed at Liu Minghao, chiding with a laugh, "Shuli is such a good girl, isn’t she? Cut out that office PUA stuff, and be a decent person! I don’t know your rules, but at the very least, the bonus should be enough for Shuli to rent a decent two-bedroom apartment long-term. Last time I visited her place, it was so cramped I could hardly stretch my legs. Is this how your Red Circle Firm treats its elite? Minghao, if you don’t make it worthwhile, I might just poach her. Don’t blame me for fighting dirty then."

How quick was Liu Minghao to react?

He surrendered immediately. "Alright, alright, you’re the Sugar Daddy, you’re the boss! Anyway, you’re paying enough; even if we split it fifty-fifty after it’s booked, I still make a killing..."

Lü Shuli’s eyes widened, and her lips trembled slightly as a rush of heat surged through her.

Ugh, ’heat’ isn’t the right word. That thing was a goddamn tidal wave. Damn, it was so overwhelming it nearly brought tears to my eyes. Lie Lie, please spare me! I’m about to lose it!

The way Lü Shuli looked at Han Lie became particularly unusual. It was difficult to describe precisely; her usually sharp mind was definitely gone, replaced entirely by emotion.

Liu Minghao, meanwhile, sighed and looked at Han Lie as if viewing a monster.

Brother, I really was being too presumptuous... With your skills, why the hell would you need my meddling?! If the heavens hadn’t blessed us with you, Han Lie the Heartbreaker, the path of scoundrels would have remained mired in eternal darkness. I’m utterly convinced! Fine, fine, I’m the scumbag running his ’workplace CPU’ routine, and you’re the saint!

Liu Minghao sighed and shook his head. "Don’t worry, I’ll handle the bonus; Shuli won’t get the short end of the stick. Shall we continue with the accounts?"

Han Lie smiled contentedly. "Adding your five million, my total stake comes to 14.3%. Then, if we also set aside five million for the accounting firm and various entertainment expenses, my effective share becomes 14.5%. That should be about right, yes?"

"HISS..."

Liu Minghao slapped his thigh and gave Han Lie a thumbs up. "You’re the man! Eating, drinking, and flirting with girls, you’re making 75 million with your eyes closed—who can argue with that?"

"Cut it out!"

Han Lie scoffed, "I deliberately didn’t include the trust’s fee. Did you forget?"

Oh, right!

Liu Minghao blanked for a moment. He wasn’t very familiar with this kind of ABS project and really had forgotten.

"How much will the trust cost?"

"Around one to two points. I’ll go discuss it tomorrow and see."

Han Lie himself wasn’t sure. He knew how trust fees would be charged in another two years but was uncertain about the present.

"So, you’re not left with much either?"

Suddenly amused, Liu Minghao said, "That makes me feel a lot better."

That sly Dog Lie truly never missed a chance to show off, replying with nonchalance, "I’m not relying on it to live; it doesn’t matter. As long as you all profit, that’s good."

Now *that’s* what you call magnanimity! This is it!

Lü Shuli thought of her own bonus and was touched to the point of feeling an utter warmth inside.

He’d rather not make a profit himself just to give me a subsidy... Boohoo, I’m actually crying! Lie Lie, rest assured, I’ll move into a place with a much bigger bedroom as soon as I get back! The next time you visit, I guarantee you’ll have enough room to stretch out... 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

As she made up her mind, Han Lie seemed to sense something and subconsciously glanced over.

Huh? Shuli, your face is so red. Are you feverish?! You can’t just tough out a fever; you need to get a shot if you have one...

****

Rationally speaking, isn’t becoming enamored inevitable, sooner or later?

I’m super anxious now...
