Chapter 852: Chapter 352: Let the Storm Rage Even Harder! (3)

Pan Ge, faced with the approaching crisis, not only remained calm but actually revealed a mysterious smile.

Immediately after, she suddenly pushed the door open, turned around, and waved her hand.

"Mom! Lie Lie is done, come on in!"

What the heck!

Han Lie paused in his steps, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he couldn’t hold back the mischievous smile on his face.

So it wasn’t a little lamb delivering something to the door, but a lioness with her cub patrolling the mountain?!

Before he could fix his expression, a loud commotion erupted outside.

"Come, come, come, why are you all so shy? You’re here anyway, and there’s a lecture this afternoon, so why not meet my son-in-law in advance?"

Dog Lie only had time to give Pan Ge, who was covering her mouth and giggling, a glare. He quickly fixed his expression, and just as he steadied himself at the door, he ran into the wife tour group.

Umm...a more precise description would be a group of walking background boards.

Zhao Anni, with the demeanor of a dignified leader inspecting, walked at the front.

Behind her was a group of well-to-do ladies trying hard not to show their nervousness—known as bosom friends in scientific terms, also known as cannon fodder.

Hmm, let’s add a label to them—poor unlucky ones who never get a share of the good stuff and get dragged out by Zhao Anni for torture every day.

Seeing the situation, Han Lie immediately understood.

So it’s my turn to cooperate, right?

No problem, just watch!

Dog Lie warmly welcomed them with high enthusiasm: "Auntie, why didn’t you give some advance notice that you were coming? Our company is very busy today, was the reception satisfactory? Please come in and take a seat, I’ll call someone to prepare a meal right away!"

"Good boy, no need for you to trouble yourself, Auntie brought you something to eat...a simple meal personally prepared by the head chef of Jinpu Club, just out of the pot, still hot!"

Zhao Anni was so delighted she couldn’t keep her mouth shut and dragged Han Lie around making introductions.

Half of the bosom friends brought today overlapped with those from last time at the house viewing, with two additional unfamiliar well-to-do ladies.

But the process remained the same—Zhao Anni full of joy, her friends looking ashen, and Han Lie continued to play the role of a tool.

Dog Lie didn’t feel impatient at all.

Counting heads, a total of 7 bosom friends, an income of 14 million Dayang!

Let’s be objective, if you were paid 14 million for acting obedient in front of a group of rich ladies for an hour, would you do it?

Honestly, if such good fortune happened every day, Han Lie wouldn’t even bother with private equity anymore, he’d make being obedient his profession!

Of course, Zhao Anni wasn’t entirely unreliable. Her visit today wasn’t just to show off a good son-in-law, but also to introduce two significant figures to Han Lie.

The two newly-seen well-to-do ladies.

One of them, surnamed Du, was a professor at the Social Science University and served as the Deputy Dean of the Youth Academy.

Wow!

Han Lie’s pupils shrunk to pinpricks.

In a previous life, he didn’t understand the existence or significance of that academy, but it’s different in this life. At his current level, many things naturally become known within his social circle without needing specific research.

Professor Du, kind and gentle, with a peaceful aura, dressed in a simple and elegant women’s suit.

While chatting casually with Han Lie, she smiled and said, "Around mid-year, the university plans to hold the 2014 National University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Action Plan workshop, with over 40 innovation and entrepreneurship projects expected to launch.

Young Han, to have made such a scene while still a student is quite qualified, but unfortunately, the projects don’t quite meet the requirements.

So, do you plan to continue focusing on the private equity industry in the future?"

Just as Han Lie was pondering how to respond, Pan Ge playfully rested her chin on his shoulder and quietly whispered in his ear: "Professor Du’s husband is surnamed Guo, and he’s...in a position in another province."

Holy cow!

The moment Han Lie heard that name, his scalp almost exploded.

The future deputy boss!

Though not directly in charge of Han Lie’s industry, he’s practically one of the most important figures in finance.

And highly skilled, a typical hawkish parent.

In an instant, Han Lie overturned his original response, answering firmly: "Of course not. Engaging in private equity, earning a living in this domestic pond, is merely a necessary phase of early development.

I’m young and have already made more money than I can spend, I certainly can’t just lie on my laurels and eat for free.

When the time is right, I definitely want to venture out, perhaps in finance, or perhaps in some other projects.

Of course, it’s premature to discuss this now, we’ll see as things unfold."

Professor Du smiled and nodded, offering simple encouragement to Han Lie without elaborating.

The second lady, her husband also surnamed Guo—the wife of General Manager Guo from Fuxing.

She was equally warm to Han Lie, generously showering encouragement and praise.

Han Lie genuinely gained newfound respect for his mother-in-law’s social circle—the two newcomers, able to smile through Zhao Anni’s wild showing off of her son-in-law, were obviously not ordinary friends.

Even though they didn’t stay long, only for about 10 minutes before bidding farewell, their presence meant that the waves Han Lie was stirring had caught the attention of significant figures.

This means nothing, yet it means everything. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Han Lie couldn’t help but ask himself—are you ready to stand at the center stage?

After careful thought, Han Lie suddenly smiled lightly.

Yes, I am ready.

Money, beauty, wealth, power, glory, responsibility, I am prepared to face it all.

If storms are destined to arise on the path ahead, let them come more violently!

From today on, the Magic Capital finance circle, there shall be a number one Han Lie!
