Reborn with Consumption System

Chapter 989 - 400: Solo Debut (Part 3)

Among a bunch of students and second-gens, he was the shiniest star.He walked to the center of the stage, turned and stood still, left hand over his chest, gave a slight bow, then raised his head, eyes bright and lively.

Fair’s fair, he really was ridiculously handsome.

centimeters tall, smooth, well-proportioned physique, a 89-point male-god-grade face, plus that scummy-but-full-of-personality aura—seriously eye-catching.

Even the people who hated him had to admit, this guy Han Lie really was presentable.

However, Tang Xintian couldn’t help starting to worry about him again.

This kind of setting, Han Lie was probably experiencing for the first time. This was different from giving lectures—those highly professional talks were what Han Lie was best at; as long as the content was solid enough, no one would nitpick anything else.

But right now, this was his first public appearance among peers.

Fang Yuan’s brainless bragging spree had started out with good intentions, but it dumped a whole lot of unnecessary pressure onto Han Lie.

Everyone present—who here wasn’t a second-gen or a top student?

They all had their pride; it was hard for them to truly admire anyone. Fang Yuan had dug such a big pit—could Han Lie really handle it properly?

If he still went with that same lecture style, it would be a huge problem...

With Tang Xintian worrying and Pan Ge staying calm, Han Lie opened his mouth with a bright smile.

"Hi everyone, I’m Han Lie, that badass guy Fang bro was talking about. But honestly, I’m not that close with Fang bro, and I had no idea beforehand that he’s so into exaggerating and kissing ass..."

"Hahahahaha!"

He’d barely finished the sentence when laughter erupted below the stage, some good-natured, some not—though even the malice was aimed at Fang Yuan. Overall, everyone had a pretty good impression of Han Lie.

By poking fun at the organizer, the core second-gen, while half self-deprecating, Han Lie’s approach wasn’t just fresh, it also neatly closed the distance between him and the crowd.

"Getting shoved on stage last minute to share my ’success experience’—I’m really in a bind here.

Because I can’t say that I’m actually not successful, that’d be too humble-brag; and I’m not about to brag about myself and go on about how amazing I am—I do care about saving face."

"Nice!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Another wave of roaring laughter. By hammering Fang Yuan’s shamelessness for all it was worth, Han Lie quickly won over most of the crowd.

Quite a few people turned teasing eyes on Fang Yuan, but seeing that this proud young master wasn’t angry at all, they genuinely started taking Han Lie seriously.

Yup, God Lie had them eating out of his hand again...

"So, I’ll just keep it simple and do a quick self-introduction."

Han Lie cleverly shifted the ’sharing session’ into a first-appearance self-intro, quietly claiming the initiative of "I’m just me."

"Han from Han Xin, Lie from raging fire. I’m not a second-gen, I’m a wreck burned out of the flames.

My main business is private securities investment funds; side business is private equity investment funds. Neither is very big. In the secondary market I manage a bit over 8 billion in principal, mainly from local investors here in the Magic Capital—some of them might even be your parents.

They’re the ones who feed and clothe me, so you could say we’re brothers and sisters. In the future, if you ever need help in finance, small stuff just DM me directly, big stuff come to my firm and we’ll talk it through—I’ll do my best.

I didn’t bring that many business cards, so just remember my company address, and please look after me going forward.

And, something I’ve said many times in different settings, I’ll say again today—

The real bull market is coming. I hope that when we meet again next year, you’ll all come toast me and say: ’Bro, thanks for the heads-up, I’ve been raking it in, life is sweet.’

You can’t finish earning all the money in the market anyway. Since fate brought us together tonight, I wish all of you the best.

That’s it.

Last thing, thanks to Fang bro for the hype, though I don’t quite deserve it yet. Tonight I’m only here to make friends, not talk business. Thank you!"

With a whoosh, the applause exploded.

Whistles and cheers almost blew the roof off the banquet hall.

No matter how cultured you are, at a moment like this there’s only one crude line that really fits—

"God Lie is fucking awesome!"

From this moment on, that name was firmly planted in the Magic Capital’s overseas-student circle.
