Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 585 - 260: How Did the Inspiration Come?_2
Bai Yuqiu, who was somewhat conflicted last time, was now particularly decisive.
"Regular dividends will do!"
Brother Lie looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile. "Don’t want a guaranteed minimum anymore?"
"Oh my!" Sister Bai cozied up to him. "I believe in you!"
Bai Yushuang chimed in from the side, "Exactly, God Lie’s abilities are top-notch in the entire industry; only a fool would want fixed interest!"
Han Lie said with a smile, "Your sister wasn’t this bold before."
"That was before, wasn’t it?" Bai Yuqiu coquettishly protested, planting kisses on him, MWAH! MWAH! "I know I was wrong now!"
Bai Yushuang explained methodically, "My sister doesn’t have money of her own. This money is too critical; her fear is understandable. Brother-in-law, you can understand that, right?"
Good heavens! My sister-in-law is too cunning, calling me brother-in-law when I don’t even know where to put my hands?! Impressive!
Han Lie’s blood boiled, his circulation reversed, his body temperature uncontrollably rising, and his muscles tensing.
But, as there were still important matters to discuss, he couldn’t rush.
Han Lie tried hard to calm his emotions and laid out the facts for them in an orderly fashion.
"It was perfectly normal for you not to trust me before," he began. "I understand, and I can accept it. The most fundamental professional ethic of a private equity manager is to humbly accept clients’ doubts and then prove oneself with actual results. Empty words mean nothing. You can even continue to wait until my later judgments are validated before deciding whether to commit, and to what extent. The market has only just started to fall; there’s really no need to rush. There’s still plenty of time before the private equity fund is established and it’s time to collect profits."
Bai Yushuang’s eyes suddenly brightened.
A confident man, no matter what he looks like, has a unique charm.
And Bai Yuqiu declared firmly, "No more waiting. There are many men who want to take advantage of me, but you’re the only one who can really help! I can’t stand to live through another day of life soaked in fear every moment! In recent months, the only time I could sleep peacefully was those two days in your arms. Let’s settle things now, and then I’ll give you everything I can give!"
When she spoke, there was even a hint of hysteria.
Han Lie hadn’t experienced marriage, but he could see what tremendous pressure hers had put on her.
Was it an ill-fated marriage?
Was it a doomed beauty?
No, neither was quite right.
Once a person illicitly takes wealth and power that doesn’t belong to them, there is always a price to pay, regardless of gender.
Any Strength that one cannot control is a disaster.
And Bai Yuqiu, in fact, was looking to use another external force to escape her current predicament.
It seemed like the start of another tragedy.
But fortunately, Han Lie was not one of those ruthless jerks most commonly found in the financial world. He had no obsession with money, valued promises, and acted with integrity.
Therefore, he couldn’t do such things as using someone completely and then kicking them to the curb.
If it was a deal, Han Lie would surely give her a fair and reasonable return.
"Your idea is dangerous; if you keep gambling like this, you’ll eventually lose everything," Han Lie spoke calmly.
Bai Yuqiu didn’t care at all; she was totally determined.
Bai Yushuang’s eyes flickered and her body tensed, her hopes skyrocketing.
She was very sensitive, especially when it came to discerning emotions.
Therefore, she understood the goodwill and concern implied in Han Lie’s warning.
Bai Yushuang quickly explained, "My sister can get carried away easily, but I’m her bottom line. Whatever happens, she’ll consult with me, and it will be me or Xiao Xue who have the last word."
Brother Lie said with an interested smile, "So, with me, you’re the second checkpoint, and Xiao Xue is the last?"
"Ah..." Bai Yushuang hesitated, then shyly nodded. "Yes, though Xiao Xue and I are both girls, she’s colder in temperament, better in studies, and has a brighter future, so she definitely won’t give herself away easily... Brother-in-law, it won’t be easy getting through, TEE HEE!"
TSK TSK. She really dared to flirt, and she was so good at it...
Han Lie understood Bai Yushuang’s subtext.
—Bai Yuqiu, in her desperation, had sought help hastily, and her sister had come to monitor things. If Han Lie could be trusted and the terms were good enough, then the guardian would also become a reward.
There were two bosses, and there were two layers of rewards. Whether or not he could acquire them depended entirely on how Han Lie performed.
The initiative had always been in Han Lie’s hands; Bai Yushuang only retained the power to reject.
This clever little sister had clearly been pushed to the extreme by her sister’s plight.
Otherwise, how could such a beautiful girl be without any fantasies about love and the future?
As for betting herself along with her sister at the gambling table?
Han Lie felt a great deal of sympathy for her. He tightened his hold on her gently and gave her a more heartfelt hug.
Bai Yushuang, moved, nuzzled the boy’s face, extremely docile.
Then, Brother Lie straightforwardly and succinctly shared his thoughts.
"Sister Bai, I have reserved 30 million for you with normal dividends, and I will help you mortgage your house for a loan—this is my payback to you, no extra conditions necessary.
"Yushuang, if there are any problems on your sister’s side during the fund’s closed period, and you need to redeem your share early, I will lend you 30 million separately, no interest required.
"Your investment will still be effective, and after maturity, the dividends will be distributed normally. You return the principal to me, and the rest is for you and your sister to keep.
"You can’t redeem shares during the private fund’s lock-up period, understand? This is my gift to you.
"Lastly, if you want a higher limit, want a guarantee of principal and interest aside from normal dividends, want me to help solve other troubles, want to get into a good company or start your own business... Then bring Xiao Xue over here. We will act on the principle of fairness and voluntariness. Let’s put our intentions out in the open. Then, when we interact, let’s do so wholeheartedly and enjoyably, with no displeasure. So, how’s that for honesty?"
More than enough! Brother Lie, you’re simply incredible!
Bai Yuqiu had come thoughtlessly, bringing only her sister; as long as Han Lie was willing to put in the effort, anything was fine.
Bai Yushuang was the one who was truly thinking and deciding, and Han Lie had completely dazzled her on the spot.
It seemed as though what he was offering her wasn’t much, but in reality, it was equivalent to a promise—whatever problems arose because of that 30 million, he would be there to cover them!
Where else could you find such a generous and straightforward man?
Bai Yushuang was thrilled. She looked up and, SMACK! kissed him fervently.
Their biggest concern was the pressure from the Gao Family if their actions were revealed. But as long as that sum could be replenished at any time, it was merely a temporary misappropriation of the couple’s joint property.
What’s the big deal?
Without any external support, it might be a big issue, but as long as Liu Minghao stepped in... it would count for nothing.
"I’m yours!"
Han Lie asked with a teasing smile, "Not waiting any longer? What if I were to deceive you?"
"I believe you!"
Bai Yushuang seemed infatuated with Han Lie’s charm, quite taken by him.
But inside, she was exceedingly clear-headed. She knew that if Han Lie wanted to deceive them, there would be countless ways to do so. If they avoided it now, they couldn’t escape it later.
Power, wealth, influence, knowledge, ability...
With all factors not even on the same level, how could they guard against him?
So, she could only resort to a woman’s most primal weapons—trust, reliance, and adoration—to overcome strength with softness.
「The next morning」
Han Lie beat a hasty retreat.
It wasn’t that he was chicken-hearted. Rather, the Cucumber was still waiting for Ham Brother’s outline. Duty called, and everyone understood, right?
Once he sat down in the office and turned on the computer, inspiration flowed like a gushing spring, bursting forth.
Hey, awesome! Turns out, inspiration really is something that gets squeezed out...
Being early isn’t as good as being timely.
But either is better than being late...
