Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 483 - 226: Misjudged, You’re Really Not Human!
The room filled with green plants was not luxurious, but it had a lot of style.
As soon as Han Lie walked in, he paused in surprise.
He saw a combination that could only be described as bizarre.
There were a total of ten people in the room; he recognized eight of them—Wu Qilong, Liu Shuangshi, Huang Sanshi, Guo Qingting, Zhanzhan Na, Da Mimi, Da Mei Ba, and Second Sister Jin.
The remaining two were a square-faced, handsome middle-aged man with glasses, and a round-faced, stout man in a crisp suit.
Second Sister Jin was the first to come forward, enthusiastically introducing people to Han Lie.
"This is Su Xiao, the director of the TV drama center of the Magic Capital Broadcasting Group and a very famous producer in the industry," she began. "The huge hit ’Legend of Zhen Huan’ in ’11 was produced by President Su."
Han Lie always felt that the square-faced, middle-aged handsome man before him looked familiar, but even as Second Sister Jin tried hard to introduce him, he still couldn’t recall.
"President Su, it’s an honor."
"President Han, hello, hello!"
After shaking hands, Second Sister Jin led him towards the round-faced stout man.
"This is Peng Hu, the president of Magic Capital Broadcasting Capital Management Co., Ltd.," Second Sister Jin continued. "President Peng not only manages the Broadcasting Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fund but is also the CEO of Broadcasting Television Group Finance Co., Ltd. You might have the opportunity to collaborate in the future, so I’m taking the liberty of connecting you two ahead of time."
This person seemed more important than President Su?
Han Lie hadn’t figured it out yet, but it didn’t stop him from showing enough enthusiasm.
"President Peng is a senior in the field; I look forward to your guidance!"
Peng Hu was smoother than Su Xiao, laughing as he said, "Now it’s the era of the younger generation. ’God Lie’s’ brand has already made its mark in the Magic Capital financial circle. It’s I who should be learning from Teacher Han."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Second Sister Jin continued with the introductions.
"This is Huang Sanshi, a good friend of mine and President Su. He’s the president of Manfu Cultural Communication Company and a well-known domestic director, actor, and producer."
"It’s a pleasure, Teacher Huang," Han Lie said.
Han Lie was still puzzled to see Huang Sanshi there.
At this time, Old Huang had not yet made a comeback by appearing in ’Dad, Where Are We Going?’ nor had he received the offer for ’Extreme Challenge’ that would take him back to the peak of national popularity; he was just a relatively well-known teacher from the Beijing Film Academy.
Harboring his doubts, Han Lie proceeded to greet everyone one by one.
"This is Guo Qingting, an artist from Taiwanese Qiyi Entertainment. Some of her business endorsements on the mainland are under our company, so she’s one of us."
Guo Qingting, who was already 30 years old, still looked like a literary girl—fresh, pretty, introverted, and restrained.
Han Lie had a rather good impression of this girl. Female artists who were content to be good wives weren’t bad at all. Isn’t she much better than the Flirtatious Sisters?
"You’re familiar with Zhanzhan," Second Sister Jin said. "Her President Cai and I are good friends and partners. She specifically asked me to look after Zhanzhan a bit, and I hope you can help take care of her too."
Zhanzhan couldn’t help but laugh when shaking hands with Han Lie. God knows what she was laughing about; it was strange.
"This is Da Mimi—Lin Xiao, Luo Qingchuan—currently the hottest female star in the country," Second Sister Jin explained. "Xiao Si and she filmed a drama that I partly financed, so she’s also one of us."
Second Sister Jin was obviously trying to take credit. Da Mimi belonged to no one; at the moment, she was working for herself.
Her studio was probably about to sign a high-stakes performance-based contract, and the top female powerhouse who worked tirelessly all year round was about to make a grand entrance.
Some people don’t like Da Mimi’s husky voice, but speaking face to face, her voice actually had a magnetic quality, simultaneously possessing the softness of a woman and the straightforwardness of a tomboy.
"God Lie, right? If there’s a chance, maybe you can help your sister make some money?"
"Ha! Sister Mi, you flatter me too much."
Han Lie affected a Beijing accent, nodding with a smile.
No one was quite sure what this young man meant by nodding and being polite at the same time, but it left everyone with the impression that "this guy is not easy to fool."
Second Sister Jin went on with the introductions: "Da Mei Ba, an artist under Sister Mi’s banner. Just like Zhanzhan, both are girls from Xijiang. Beautiful, right?"
At this point, Da Mei Ba was still an unknown, so there was not much to say except to compliment her beauty.
But the young Da Mei Ba was indeed extremely beautiful.
She hadn’t started the life of a top influencer who always maintained heavy makeup. With just light skincare, her skin was fair and plump, with collagen flourishing and suffused with the youth and health of an exotic locale.
Han Lie had seen the top-tier Ba in the future: heavy makeup, body-hugging, cut-out gowns—quite an explosive impact.
However, according to a major client from the medical aesthetics field, by then Da Mei Ba’s skin condition had already deteriorated, showing fatigue when she removed her makeup.
Meanwhile, Zhanzhan was in a much better state. She hardly needed any machine-based beauty treatments; just regular care was enough.
This was partly due to natural constitution, and partly the inevitable price of being a top influencer.
Exhausting workloads, long hours of makeup, irregular diet, and sleep patterns—it was all too destructive.
Now, Da Mimi seemed much older than Guo Qingting, but in reality, she was two years younger...
If Han Lie had to rank the beauty of the female artists present—
Zhanzhan, 98 points: impeccable from facial features to skin condition, except for too many small expressions which cost her a point in temperament.
Da Mei Ba, 95 points: at the best age for everything, a strong visual impact with her striking features, but a bit stiff from certain angles, not a 360-degree divine beauty.
Qing Ting, 94 points: older in years, but still with superb skin condition, a mix of seductiveness and coolness, only a tiny bit inferior in skin tone compared to Zhanzhan.
Da Mimi and Shuangshi, 89 points.
Neither had top-tier beauty among female celebrities and were very reliant on makeup and styling. However, Shuangshi had a great temperament, and Da Mimi had both presence and approachability.
