Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 626 - 274 Monster [Vote Request]_3

"Of course, this is a kind suggestion from your brother-in-law. Both of you are my younger sisters, and I absolutely don't mean to favor one over the other. Small Snow and Han Lie would obviously have more common ground. Small Frost, you'd probably find it very dull listening to us discuss finance and economics, and forcing yourself to participate might not end well. What do you all think?"

If one didn't consider other external factors, Gao Shen's idea was entirely sound. Purely from the perspective of interests, knowledge, and compatibility, Bai Yuxue was indeed more suitable for Han Lie than Bai Yushuang.

Bai Yushuang didn't want to agree with Gao Shen. She felt things weren't that simple, yet she truly couldn't refute him; his proposal was particularly reasonable. If I insist on going, will Gao Shen detect a flaw?

The two sisters exchanged a quiet glance. Suddenly, Bai Yushuang noticed a glimmer of eagerness in her younger sister's eyes. Just as she registered her surprise, she heard Bai Yuxue say composedly, "Indeed, it doesn't matter which of us goes. I've also been wanting to meet this Teacher Han in person, so I'll accompany Big Sister."

Bai Yuqiu was completely indifferent. With the 'little guard dog' around, safety wasn't an issue, so it didn't matter which of her younger sisters went.

After some thought, Bai Yushuang decided it would be good for her sister to see Han Lie with her own eyes. Ever since she was young, Bai Yuxue had always been particularly astute at judging people. For example, regarding Gao Shen and their eldest sister's marriage, Bai Yuxue had always insisted, "Those two won't have a happy ending. Gao Shen isn't a good match." When asked for her reasons back then, she couldn't articulate them. Consequently, no one in the family believed her. They all thought, You're just a child. You've only met Gao Shen a few times and have no reasons, so what are you needlessly worrying about? Subsequent events proved her right.

Now, even though 'Big Bai' and 'Second Bai' had thoroughly committed themselves to Han Lie, and it was like spilt water that couldn't be gathered, whether they saw him or not seemed to lack practical significance. However, from a long-term perspective, understanding Han Lie a bit more now would provide an extra measure of composure when making future decisions. Therefore, it was indeed best to let her younger sister meet the 'little guard dog' sooner rather than later.

Realizing this, Bai Yushuang stopped worrying and said casually, "Alright, if you want to go, then go. I'll take this opportunity to go home and catch up on some sleep."

Gao Shen was overjoyed. He quickly showed the warm concern of a good brother-in-law towards his wife's younger sister. "Small Frost, I've noticed you don't seem to be in good spirits today; you're even a bit unsteady on your feet. Did you stay up late binge-watching dramas again last night? Look at Small Snow... Huh? Small Snow, why are your eyes bloodshot too?"

His question made both sisters roll their eyes.

Bai Yushuang turned away impatiently. "I wasn't watching dramas; I was studying!"

Bai Yuxue calmly added, "I was affected by her."

Gao Shen muttered skeptically, "Really? You're studying so hard now that even Small Snow can't take it? That's quite unusual..."

The twin sisters thought in exasperation: Why are you so nosy?!

Bai Yuqiu quickly turned away, clutching her chest, laughing so hard it ached.

When Han Lie arrived at the Tomson Golf Club, Director Huang was already warming up. Old Huang had quite an entourage, with five or six people accompanying him. Besides Tang Xintian, there was Boss Qin, a good friend from Magic Capital's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission; Hu Mingtang, the deputy general manager of the Magic Capital Urban Investment Land Group; and the general manager of the Tomson Golf Club. Three young, beautiful female caddies were also in attendance.

Han Lie checked the time, a sense of unease creeping in. Old Huang, what's with this sudden arrival? I got here almost half an hour early, but all you VIPs are still ahead of me. It makes me look so inconsiderate... As frustrating as it was, he still had to smooth things over.

"Distinguished leaders, my apologies, my apologies! Have I arrived too late?"

It was clearly a rhetorical question. Han Lie smiled heartily, yet there was little genuine apology in his expression. In fact, none of the three men present had any authority over him. So, while respect was appropriate, there was no need for excessive humility, which would only serve to lower his own standing. Hmm, 'status' isn't quite the right word. It's better described as 'a self-awareness of interacting on equal terms and an outward projection of that.'

Han Lie's actual social standing and control over resources couldn't compare to theirs. However, he was self-sufficient and didn't need to seek benefits from them. On the contrary, it was more likely that the three leaders present needed him. Therefore, his mindset needed to be relaxed, his demeanor generous, and he absolutely could not appear subservient. This was the 'finesse' in social interaction—deeply understanding what attitude to adopt with different people. A popular term in later years, 'sense of boundaries,' is the most straightforward form of this social 'finesse.'

As soon as Han Lie spoke, the three men immediately smiled.

Old Huang was the first to wave his hand. "Not at all, not at all! We scheduled for 9:30; you're still 40 minutes early!"

Boss Qin joked good-naturedly, "Young Han, you must rarely play golf, right? We old folks need to warm up for an hour if we want to play a game in winter. We truly envy you young people, who are as vibrant as the sun!"

Oh! So that's how it is!

Hu Mingtang took a towel, wiped the sweat from his hands, and was the first among them to step forward, intending to shake Han Lie's hand. "Young Han, you haven't met me before, but I'm quite familiar with you! The renovation of the Sinan Road residential project was handled by our Land Group—I've been old friends with Pan Shengwu for a long time!"
