Chapter 376 Raid Inspection

The man on the other end of the phone had a mid-tone voice, and it seemed that he was much older than Tang Xien. Tang Xien quickly changed his address: "I am, may I ask who you are?"

The other party said: "I am Director Li of the Department of Treaty and Law of the Ministry of Commerce. Do you have time to meet?"

In just a few seconds, Tang Xi'en remembered that three years ago, this Director Li frequently invited him to work for the Department of Treaty and Law of the Ministry of Commerce. The last time we met was a year and a half ago, when she was levied a high amount of anti-double tax by M country for "Fu Shi" The time when the tax is submitted to the Ministry of Commerce.

Every time Director Li contacted her, it must be to poach her to go to the Department of Treaty and Law, could it be the same this time?

Tang Xien came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Yao who had already walked towards him, didn't think about it, didn't ask any more questions, and smiled to the person on the other end of the phone: "Happy New Year, Director Li, when is it convenient for you to meet?"

Director Li said: "I can do it at any time during the working day. If it is convenient for you, you can find me at the office of the ministry."

"Okay, I'm in City Z today, and I'll meet you in your office tomorrow afternoon."

Director Li was very straightforward, said "Okay, I'll wait for you!" and hung up the phone.

When the call was cut off, Jiang Yao just walked to the front of the car, waved to Tang Xi'en in the car, and pointed to the opened door behind her, indicating that she could drive in the car.

Tang Xi'en stepped on the accelerator, the car moved a few steps closer to Jiang Yao, and lowered the passenger window: "Get in the car."

Jiang Yao smiled and got into the car.As soon as I got in the car, I raised my hand to look at my watch: "There is still enough time, don't rush, take your time."

Tang Xi'en smiled politely, the two exchanged a few words, the car parked in the parking lot, and they went to the office building together.

Because the factory area is too large, the square in front of the office building is even more astonishingly large. The two of them walked for several minutes before walking from the parking lot to the office building.

While waiting for the elevator, Jiang Yao said: "Our company is the domestic branch of ST Group in the United States. It mainly produces electrical and nuclear power components, some of which are sold domestically, and a large proportion are sold all over the world."

Tang Xi'en asked: "Is it exported directly by the branch to the customer or is it underwritten by the US headquarters?"

Jiang Yao: "The headquarter underwrites the sale."

Tang Xi'en understood now.

This factory is just a domestic manufacturing factory of the world's top [-] companies. It just looks at the cheap domestic labor force, cheap raw materials, and even some preferential tariffs for foreign companies. The factory doesn't even have sales rights, let alone trade disputes. The so-called legal director is at most sorting out contracts and handling trivial matters such as labor disputes.
.
I had an interview with the general manager of the factory, and the other party sincerely invited Tang Xien to be the legal director of the factory, but the salary offered was really...

To put it bluntly, the monthly salary offered by the other party is almost enough for Tang Xien to pay the monthly rent of the hotel apartment and the salary of the caretaker. Tang Xien, who originally wanted to refuse because of Director Li's intentional invitation and the single legal work in the factory, now I feel that I have nothing to do with this factory.

Coming out of the office of the general manager of the factory, she went to Jiang Yao's office and sat with Jiang Yao for a while.Hearing that the factory offered a salary of [-] yuan after tax, Jiang Yao was so sorry that her face was filled with embarrassment: "How about I talk to our president later?"

Tang Xi'en smiled and patted her on the back of her hand: "No need. For a legal director who only occasionally handles labor disputes, employee disputes, provides legal inquiries, and assists relevant departments in handling intellectual property matters, the salary of [-] after tax is actually quite reasonable. reasonable."

After finishing speaking, she stood up: "Yaoyao, let's talk at dinner time, I won't disturb your work now."

"Okay." Jiang Yao sent her out.
.
The next day, Tang Xien set off from City Z at [-]:[-] am and arrived in City B at [-]:[-] pm because he had to arrive at the Ministry of Commerce located on the first ring road of City B to meet Director Li at [-]:[-] pm.She had a quick lunch at the restaurant opposite the Ministry of Commerce, and arrived at Director Li's office at [-]:[-] on time to wait.

At two o'clock, she met with Director Li. The other party was as enthusiastic as before. After shaking hands, asking for a seat, and making tea, she directly pointed out the purpose of yesterday's phone call: "A year ago, the Ministry's WTO Law II The director of the department has resigned, and I asked you to come here today mainly to ask if you have any ideas about working for the Department of Treaty and Law."

The meaning of these words sounds like they want her to take the position of director.

Tang Xi'en felt that it was impossible. With her qualifications, she was far from being the Director.

She tentatively asked: "What is the nature of the 'work' you mentioned? I know that your company has cooperated with many excellent non-governmental law firms and lawyers, so what do you mean?"

She thought that if Director Li meant to let her assist the Department of Treaty and Law as a private lawyer in handling trade disputes between the country and other countries, she had to clarify that she had left Jisi and had not yet found a law firm that would accept her.

Director Li, who understood what she meant, smiled and said, "I want to recommend you to be the director of the 'WTO Legal Division II', it depends on whether you have the will!"

Tang Xi'en was surprised, and there was an unexpected but unexpected surprise.

As if he had anticipated her entanglement, Director Li said, "It's not the same as before, now it's whoever has the ability who goes up! Don't worry about your lack of qualifications or your young age, I know you have that ability!"

The "WTO Legal Division" is mainly responsible for prosecuting, responding to and appealing trade disputes involving countries in the WTO, participating in the settlement of WTO disputes as a third party, and participating in trade disputes involving countries in resorting to WTO dispute settlement External consultations before the mechanism.

Tang Xien is quite familiar with the WTO rules.She not only focused on foreign-related economic law during the ten years of law study, but also has been handling various foreign-related economic cases in the past few years after graduating from Harvard; when she was a foreign-related lawyer in Guantao, she also went to the World Trade Center in Geneva with other lawyers. organization to assist the Treaty and Law Division in dealing with trade disputes with other countries.

Director Li had not hesitated to praise her before, not only repeatedly invited her to work for the Department of Treaty and Law, but also expressed his appreciation and praise for her in public many times.

Presumably, Director Li has been observing her for many years, and he will not offer an olive branch to her again when her career is reshuffled this time.

However, even if he becomes the director, the salary may not be as high as that offered by the ST factory in Z City yesterday.

Tang Xi'en currently has to bear the living expenses of himself and Li Miaolian, as well as Li Miaolian's nursing expenses, medical expenses, and huge surgical expenses that may arise at any time.

In addition, her food and clothing expenses in the past two years have been used by Fu Shiyu to the level of light luxury. The only personal expenses include keeping a car, buying cosmetics and skin care products, buying clothes, shoes and bags, doing beauty and hair care, and occasionally talking to Fu Shiyu. If Yu goes to Hong Kong or abroad, it will cost at least [-] to [-] a month.

The bonus owed to her by the "Fu Group" still has eight months to be paid. Although she has saved all these bonuses, there are still decades of life ahead, so she can't just sit and eat.

This is one aspect, and there is another aspect. If she agrees to take up the post of director, it will be tantamount to airborne. While handling complicated tasks, she will also spend a lot of time dealing with the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and dealing with the dissatisfaction of subordinates. Just imagining that kind of scene, she felt very annoying.

These two worries became obstacles for Tang Xi'en to enter the Department of Treaty and Law.She didn't agree to Director Li immediately, she just said that she had to think about it for a few days, and she would reply to him on Monday.
.
After coming out of the Law Department, Tang Xi'en called the nurse and confirmed that the nurse could stay with Li Miaolian in the apartment at night, so she didn't go back to City Z, and went directly to Fu Shiyu's apartment.

After parking the car, she went around to the fresh food market to buy vegetables, and when she was going back, she started washing the vegetables and preparing dinner.

In fact, she wasn't sure if Fu Shiyu would go home for dinner tonight, she didn't call to tell him that she went back to City B today and planned to surprise him tonight.

After washing the dishes, Tang Xien saw that it was still early, so she took the Kindle and went to lie down on the recliner in front of the French window to rest for a while.

It's been more than ten days of spring, and it's rare to see a big sun in City B today.At around four o'clock in the afternoon, looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the bright golden sun hangs high in the sky in the distance. Although it will set in the west in an hour, the feeling of golden light shining into the room right now really makes people feel warm and full. hope.

She was lying on a deck chair basking in the sun, with her Kindle lightly resting on her lower abdomen, her arms resting on her head, her legs crossed, and her eyes were calmly looking at the old man in city B full of bungalows on the other side of the sea-crossing bridge. In the urban area, my thoughts drifted back to more than ten years ago——

She went to school early, and skipped two grades in elementary school. When she was 13 years old, she went to No. [-] Middle School in Z City alone to study high school.

No. 100 Middle School in City Z is the best high school in the entire province of H. Every year, the college entrance examination rate is 985%. She was in the science experiment class at the time. Except for her and a few other students who went abroad to study undergraduates, the rest of the class took [-]. University.

It's just that in such a high school where there are so many top students, no one expected that the top science student in H province that year was a 16-year-old girl from a famous poverty-stricken county who was two years younger than her classmates. Thinking about it, the girl dared to go to Hong Kong to study alone at the age of 16.

The girl spent five years obtaining two degrees in law and economics at the University of Hong Kong, and then returned to University B to study for graduate school with the savings accumulated from working in Hong Kong in those years.In the two years at University B, after she received a master's degree and a domestic lawyer's license, she was persuaded by her professor to apply for a doctoral program at Harvard Law School.

For a whole ten years, she spent a lot of time and energy studying and working part-time; after ten years, she finally made her way into "a world" in City B.

But not long ago, she discovered that this sky was so fragile that it would collapse at any time.

The sky is not secure.

When she just came back from the United States, she entered "Guantao" on the recommendation of Li Tao, and became one of the lawyers involved in external affairs with an extremely considerable annual income in the top firm in City B; With the first pot of gold she earned in "Guantao", she bought a small two-bedroom apartment in City B, where every inch of land is expensive. With the support of Fu Shiyu, she resigned from the law firm and became the owner of the homestay; later, the homestay project failed, and she relied on Fu Shiyu's recommendation to earn a second pot of gold from the "Fu Group". She opened a law firm; but in the end, she did not keep her position in the law firm.

These seemingly brilliant achievements are actually all because she took shortcuts, so at any time a false accusation or a post posted by some sailors on the Internet can easily destroy all of them.

In fact, she belongs to the army of thousands of entrepreneurs, those who failed, if Fu Shiyu hadn't supported her, she wouldn't know where she lived in a small house now after mortgaged the house to start a business...

She thought it was time for her to do things down-to-earth.Don't rely on anyone, don't take any shortcuts, and start a new territory of your own business steadily and steadily.

Perhaps this invitation from the Department of Treaty and Law will bring about another possibility for her.
.
"Fu's Group" usually gets off work at five o'clock. Tang Xien estimated that Fu Shiyu might arrive home around six o'clock, and got up to cook at 05:30.

The rice is washed and put in the pot after four o'clock, and the time is made, and it will be ready to eat at six o'clock in a while.

At this moment, Tang Xi'en put the marinated beef into the pan and stir-fried until it was half-cooked, and then poured the chopped green peppers into it.

There is still water on the green peppers, and once poured into the oil pan, the oil splashes and crackles instantly.

Tang Xi'en quickly put the lid on the pot for a while, and when the sound of oil crackling became quieter, he picked up the spatula and prepared to stir fry a few times before it came out of the pot.As soon as the spatula in his hand moved a few times, his waist was suddenly bound tightly.

The clean and elegant scent of the man lingered from the back of her neck to her front.That was the taste of Fu Shiyu.

The man hugged her from behind, kissed the tips of her small and lovely ears, and smiled softly: "Why didn't you tell me that you were coming back today?"

She smiled, and raised her hand to touch his cheek on her shoulder: "A sudden inspection! Is there any reason to notify in advance?"

"What did you check?"

She stir-fried the beef and green peppers in the pot, and pretended to be angry: "The bed, bathroom, and cloakroom are full of women's long hair!"

"Well, those hairs belong to my wife."

She laughed loudly, turned his elbow on his lower abdomen, turned off the fire, turned around to look at him, put her arms around his neck and said, "Okay, Fu Shiyu! As soon as I go back to my hometown, who are you going to talk to?" Got married?"

He wrapped his arms around her waist, looked at her quietly with his eyes, and said in a tender voice, "Of course it is the woman I love deeply."

　This is four thousand words, and one more two thousand words.

　　Thanks to two readers, Lanyue Zimo and Qigong Pao, who voted for me monthly!
