Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 541 - 245 No one understands kindness better than Brother Lie_2

GP is Han Shi Holdings, holding 60% of the shares.

LP is Phoenix Holdings, holding 40% of the shares.

Han Lie didn’t push it too hard, as he didn’t want to hide too much income.

Then, Sky Capital’s subsidiary, Magic Capital Zhongmei Investment, would act as the primary entity to sign an agency agreement with Mingu. This would be a business-to-business arrangement, with the intermediary fee reported as regular consulting income.

Zhongmei would be the issuing company for the private equity fund. Han Lie also had to involve Panzi and Liu Minghao. The specific share allocation could be discussed later.

In the future, if Han Lie wanted to engage in any particularly risky operations, he would just establish another subsidiary under Sky Capital and spin off the GP.

Hmm, whom should I trick? Han Lie mused. Pan Ge is definitely a no-go, and I can’t bear to use Xi Luting. So, how about... pulling in Yu Yun and putting her to use, like turning trash into treasure?

With a slight shift of his eyes, Lie Lie decided he still ought to be a bit nicer to Naiyun.

For a financial scumbag like him, tricking someone into taking the fall is all too easy. And tricking Yu Yun wouldn’t weigh on his conscience; as long as there’s money involved, she’d be more than happy to be fooled.

After sorting out the company structure, Liu Minghao started discussing costs with Han Lie again.

"Mingu can give a total of 17.5%. President Pan wants to take 5%, Dou is taking 6.5%. How much did you negotiate with the bank yesterday?"

"1.5%."

"And the securities company?"

"0.7%."

"That’s 13.7% already. What else is there?"

"Assessment fees, accounting fees, law firm fees."

"Oh, right!" Liu Minghao smacked his forehead. "The assessment fee standard in Magic Capital is generally a progressive differential rate, but we can negotiate for large asset evaluations. Let me reach out to some contacts; it shouldn’t be a problem to keep it within 0.4%. The accounting firm and our law firm both charge fixed fees. How much do you think I should propose for our fee?"

"What do you mean, ’what I think’?" Han Lie chuckled. "Normally, shouldn’t it be several million?"

Liu Minghao pondered for a moment, smacking his lips. "For a case of this magnitude, I’d definitely have to aim for 2,000,000."

"Aim for" implied he was quoting a high price, leaving plenty of room for negotiation.

Lie Lie understood immediately and made a decisive call, "Alright, I’ll give you 5,000,000."

Catching a glimpse of Lü Shuli in his peripheral vision, he quickly added, "Remember to give Little Lü a bonus with the extra."

Lü Shuli was taking notes. When she heard this, she almost crushed her pen.

Lie Lie, stop it! Stop flirting! I can barely stand it anymore!

Little Lü’s heart fluttered in turmoil, nearly making her forget she was just an intern at a law firm, with her mentor and boss sitting right across from her.

Liu Minghao raised an eyebrow at Han Lie, a sly smile on his face, but his voice remained perfectly serious. "Fine. Little Lü has indeed been working very hard lately; she deserves a reward."

After a pause, he added, "Of course, how she’s rewarded must follow our law firm’s rules, otherwise it might stir up idle gossip."

Our law firm has rules, my ass! Aren’t you the one who calls all the shots anyway? Lü Shuli thought.

Being exceptionally sharp, Lü Shuli immediately understood Liu Minghao’s underlying message: If you want to ’avoid idle gossip,’ you need to achieve something significant enough to silence everyone. What kind of achievement would be convincing? Naturally, high recognition from the client, ideally by taking credit yourself for securing the exceptionally large bonus. So, how does one earn such high client recognition?

With no other recourse, I have only myself to offer.

Lü Shuli saw it clearly: her mentor, Liu Minghao, wanted her to willingly offer herself to Han Lie, thereby establishing a more solid, two-tiered relationship.

My mentor’s direct relationship with Han Lie is that of business partners. If I also become Han Lie’s woman, under my mentor’s watch, it adds another layer of private connection and value exchange. Their bond would immediately deepen. With me as a bridge between them, they could meet privately, frequently, and naturally in the future.

Such calculated planning...

Honestly, in that moment, Lü Shuli’s emotions were incredibly complex.

She didn’t resent Liu Minghao for so blatantly "selling" her. In the workplace, any male leader who takes a beautiful female subordinate to a social gathering either harbors his own desires for her or is considering "selling" her off at any opportune moment. Most female subordinates who agree to attend such gatherings are already aware of what might be expected. Some might claim they never considered the implications, believing it was just routine socializing. While such naive individuals do exist, they typically stop attending after two or three experiences, as these gatherings are often far too unwelcoming for women. Innocent girls quickly learn to avoid them, and most leaders with a shred of decency won’t force the issue. Even if pressured, these women can simply resign and find work elsewhere; pretty and composed girls can find jobs in any industry. However, women who consistently enjoy such gatherings are usually those who like to display their charm, are always on the lookout for opportunities, and possess a less reserved nature. They and their leaders often simply have an arrangement of mutual benefit.

Of course, this "selling" wasn’t coercive; it was more of a common workplace dynamic, playing out differently depending on the people involved.

For instance, when Liu Minghao met with ordinary clients, he occasionally brought Lü Shuli along purely for her to gain experience. If a client tried to flirt with Lü Shuli, he would definitely protect her. Sorry, you’re not worthy, he’d think. This way, he earned Lü Shuli’s gratitude and trust, while also cultivating her experience and mindset. Once Lü Shuli was seasoned and capable, the law firm would gain another considerate and reliable assistant—one of their own.

But when Liu Minghao took Lü Shuli to dine with Han Lie...

Brother, feel free to make your move! If you can’t win her over, I’ll help you!

People’s values differ. Liu Minghao would be thrilled to see Lü Shuli get together with Han Lie, even without any official status.

No matter what, you two will owe me a little something for this, right?
