Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

After saying that, without waiting for Han Tao's response, he put down the teacup and continued:

"You just returned to the Magic City and may not know much, so you may not know that you accidentally offended someone. I was afraid that you might be young and impulsive, so I came to remind you.

We're all here for the sake of wealth, so there's no need to make things awkward. There's a lot of stuff between Mingtang and I that you don't know about, so it's really unnecessary to get involved rashly. What do you think?"

Han Tao poured himself a cup of tea and said pointedly, "Thank you for your concern, Director Huang. I really don't know what happened between you and Mingtang, and I don't want to know. But I have to do my job. If anyone wants to touch my people or target Mingtang in the future, they can only do it after they have fought each other!"

Han Tao and Huang Yaoqing have different needs. Although they all run law firms, Han Tao's main purpose is fame, in addition to his predecessor's ideals. Therefore, he cannot damage his reputation and must win every case.

Huang Yaoqing and his people want money, so Huang Yaoqing sues only to make money, and of course for the sake of mergers and acquisitions, so he cannot tolerate his own interests being damaged.

Since there was no consensus on the idea, Huang Yaoqing didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Han Lu, stop it. It's not good for anyone to push Mingtang to the forefront. Besides, you've offended people since you came back, which is not good for your future work."

"impossible!"

Han Tao shook his head and replied resolutely, "That's what lawyers do. If I don't take a case, then that's fine. But if I do, I'll give it my all. Besides, everyone understands the nature of a lawyer's work. If I win against them, it will only make them trust Mingtang even more."

The so-called suppression is all from colleagues. You are a senior, and you understand some things better than me. Which law firm is not on opposite sides? "

Huang Yaoqing looked at Han Tao and said with a look of deep sorrow, "In this world, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies.

"Chuang Group is willing to pay the price, and both you and your client can get the compensation you want. Isn't that great? Why is there such a life-and-death struggle?"

Han Tao smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Director Huang, when I graduated, Teacher Gao once told me that I should never go against my conscience.

Besides making money, lawyers also have the responsibility to uphold the Constitution and the dignity of the law. They practice for the people, are diligent and dedicated, honest and upright, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of their clients, ensure the correct implementation of the law, and uphold relative fairness and justice. This is the principle I have always adhered to."

Huang Yaoqing was furious when he heard this. In his opinion, Han Tao's words were just nonsense to fool people. He was just making fun of himself, so he said helplessly:

"Han Lu, let's not talk big. Li Yi, the general manager of Lianchuang's business development department, has already admitted to bribery.

Now that Lianchuang Group is willing to compensate your client, you insist on holding a court hearing and demanding additional evidence. Isn't that a bit over the top? Is this what you mean by protecting the client and considering them?"

Under normal circumstances, or when facing other lawyers, there is nothing wrong with what Huang Yaoqing said.

But Han Tao is different. Han Tao knows that there is a bigger secret behind Lian Chuang. Chen Wenguang and Li Yi are both victims of this fight and are just scapegoats.

This is also the brilliance of Lianchuang Group. From the moment they embarked on that path, they had already arranged all the back-up plans, and set up safety measures at every link.

After thinking for a moment, Han Tao said directly, "I will not let the client take even a penny less than what is deserved, but I will not gain these at the expense of others.

So I apologize early on, Director Huang, your trip today may be in vain. Unless Lian Chuang can make the right choice, let's show our skills in court!"

Hearing this, Huang Yaoqing looked at Han Tao with embarrassment and asked again, "Han Lu, aren't you afraid that you will regret it?"

"I never regret anything, and I'm still young. Even if I fail, I still have a chance to start over. Director Huang, you should think it over carefully, otherwise you won't even have a chance to start over."

Having said that, there was naturally no need to continue. However, Huang Yaoqing still had the most basic manners, so he stood up and stretched out his hand and said:

"Then let's wait and see. Sorry to bother Han Lu. See you next time!"

Han Tao smiled but did not extend his hand. They now represented the rights and interests of different parties, so he did not have the habit of shaking hands with his opponents.

Of course, this is also an unwritten custom among lawyers. After all, a handshake represents friendship, so there are some taboos that lawyers should pay attention to when shaking hands.

Of course, lawyers who have a good relationship can shake hands privately as long as there is nothing wrong or no conflict. Obviously, he and Huang Yaoqing do not have such a relationship.

The final result was that Huang Yaoqing left Han Tao's office with a sour face.

But Han Tao smiled. The fact that Huang Yaoqing came in person showed that Lianchuang Group was anxious, if it hadn't touched their bottom line.

It may even break through the other party's firewall. Lian Chuang will not be so anxious. If there is something, he will arrange for the directors or the chief legal advisor.

This is not only due to the bank statements and bills that Han Tao received, but also due to Xu Jie's efforts.

Especially Sun Jian's parents, after being communicated with by Han Tao, they have joined the joint lawsuit. After all, it is a lawsuit involving a life. Regardless of the fermentation, the results have begun to show. If Lian Chuang does not deal with it, the direction will be out of control.

So the case is waiting to go to trial. As long as Xu Jie brings the things back, combined with the evidence collected by her side, Lian Chuang's defeat is basically a foregone conclusion, unless they make greater sacrifices and give up their current base.

........................

Chapter 473 Xu Jie is about to return to China

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the office of the chief lawyer of the second group of Mingtang Law Firm, He Xingyun summarized all the materials she and Luo Yun had collected and handed them to Han Tao.

"Teacher Han, all the information on Qiu Jiayi's husband's post-marriage income is here. The total amount is approximately 25 million. The application for filing the case has also been printed. Sister Luo Yun wants you to take a look and review it for her."

Han Tao took the documents and looked through them. Luo Yun's application for filing the case was fine, so he nodded and said:

“There’s no problem with the application, but you still have to check it once you get it back, and then go to the court to file the case.

Of course, my suggestion is that before doing so, you need to confirm with the person involved and sign the remaining agreements to prevent her from causing any trouble.

"Okay, Mr. Han, I'll be out first!"

After saying that, He Xingyun happily ran back to his workstation, and while calling Luo Yun, he checked the application for filing the case with great motivation.

After she finished her call, a girl who was on good terms with her and who had joined the Mingtang at the same time as her asked curiously:

"Lucky, what's going on? Why are you so excited after meeting Director Han? But Director Han is really handsome!"

"Bah, shameless! And you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. I'm just happy because I was assigned to be an assistant to Teacher Han and can follow Sister Luo Yun to take on cases. Don't talk nonsense."

He Xingyun rolled her eyes at the girl who came with her. Usually, trainee lawyers like them did odd jobs and errands, so she cherished this opportunity to learn.

The girl smiled and said enviously, "I'm just kidding, but you're lucky. We're here together. Don't forget to help your sister if you have the chance."

"no problem!"

He Xingyun smiled complacently, then looked around and whispered, "Lanlan, don't say I didn't remind you. I'm going out to help Sister Luo Yun later. You should pay more attention to the director's office."

"Well, thanks to Lucky, I'll keep my eyes and ears open and be ready to greet you at any time. I'll try to leave a good impression on Director Han. Even if I can fill in for you when you're not around, that would be great."

"You're welcome. It's important to keep the wealth within the family. Teacher Han handles big cases, so listening to her will teach you a lot. Come on, sisters!"

Soon, Luo Yun invited his client, Qiu Jiayi, to the law firm and walked into the small conference room. He poured her a glass of water and spoke first:

"Ms. Qiu, I asked you to come here to tell you that after investigation, we can probably help you get around 12 million."

When the middle-aged woman Qiu Jiayi heard that she could actually get over 10 million, her eyes began to light up and she said, "Really, Xiao Luo? Thank you so much, you guys really helped me a lot!"

Luo Yun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You're welcome. Since you trust us, we will definitely do our best. But I asked you to come here today because I wanted to confirm again: do we have to get a divorce?"

"Xiao Luo, what do you mean by this? I don't quite understand." After saying that, Qiu Jiayi looked at Luo Yun in confusion.

"What I mean is that if you don't want to get a divorce, we can also help you mediate and ask your husband to give you some compensation so that your family won't break up!"

Hearing Luo Yun's words, Qiu Jiayi nodded resolutely: "Divorce, we must divorce. Anyway, that bastard hasn't been home for a long time. It doesn't matter whether we break up or not. I'm afraid that I won't be able to find a good man even if I have money!"

Hearing this, Luo Yun said nothing more and went out to find He Xingyun to get the remaining relevant documents, and then asked Qiu Jiayi to sign them one by one.

After signing, Luo Yun sent the middle-aged woman away. He Xingyun, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yun, why does this woman look so mercenary and unreliable?

I heard from Sister Liu Fang that divorce cases like this often have reversals. They have a child, so the custody issue is likely to cause a reversal. If they can reconcile, we can still participate. But if they don't divorce, wouldn't our efforts be in vain? "

After observing and hearing Han Tao's advice, Luo Yun had already grasped Qiu Jiayi's mind, so he said confidently:

"Don't worry, Lucky. The reason why Teacher Han reminded me to let her come this time was to avoid the possibility of her being led by the nose.

People are most afraid of losing what they have gained. Under the stimulation of a huge amount of money that can be freely used, even if you persuade her to reconcile now, she will not agree!"

"That's right, who would want to endure being treated like that by their husband when they can earn so much money?"

He Xingyun nodded with emotion, then followed Luo Yun out of the conference room and returned to his desk to prepare the documents needed for filing the case and going to court.

...............................

Han Tao, on his part, had already finished the work at hand and was preparing to leave work early. Guan Juer's parents had been in Shanghai for several days and he knew almost everything they needed to know, so when he returned to Wuxi tomorrow, he wanted to treat them to a meal.

However, just as Han Tao finished organizing the information on the desk, his cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Xu Jie calling, he answered it directly.

"How's it going? Is it going well?"

Hearing Han Tao's question, Xu Jie on the other end of the phone paused for a moment and said, "Boss, the work is going smoothly. I have obtained the information of the thirteen offshore companies related to Li Yi. You guessed it right, they are all shell companies, and they are definitely money laundering tools.

However, something unexpected happened. The transfer records I have aren't just about Lian Chuang alone; they involve many companies and individuals across the country. If these things were to leak out, it would probably lead to a massive purge."

"How's Wang Yadong doing? Did he arrange for someone to accompany you?"

Han Tao asked seriously. In fact, he had already guessed that the matter was not simple. For a company like Lianchuang Group that plays with money to stand up for so many years, the forces behind it must be complicated.

Therefore, both Chen Wenguang and Li Yi, the general manager of Lianchuang Group's business development department, were scapegoats prepared in advance by them, and were smokescreens they released to confuse the public.

"Things are going smoothly at the security company. After all, they were acquired and reorganized, so they have a solid foundation. Wang Yadong personally led the team and accompanied me this time. I'm also very cautious, and with your connections, I shouldn't have attracted any attention from the other party. Don't worry."

Hearing Xu Jie's answer, Han Tao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Immediately stamp all the records with the official seal, then return to China with the documents and have Wang Yadong send someone to escort you back!"

"He just took over the company and is short-staffed, so I plan to just ask them to take me to the plane. I've already bought the ticket and will be able to return to China the day after tomorrow."

"That's fine, but have Wang Yadong send the information back through his channels to avoid causing you unnecessary trouble. I'll have Dongxu bring someone to pick you up at the airport. Have a safe trip."

After hanging up the phone, Han Tao sat back in his chair and planned to think about the pros and cons.

It seems that he has accidentally got hold of a hot potato this time. Although he has not seen the detailed information yet, he knows in his heart that if he takes out this evidence, many people will be restless and want to kill him to prevent future troubles.

Therefore, I should try my best to offend Ding Lianchuang as much as possible, and avoid others as much as possible. If I really can't avoid them, I will consider how to deal with them.

Although he was not afraid, with so many people following him for meals, he could not just ignore them like the original owner and confront the young master of the Zhao family head-on. There were many people involved this time, and if he didn't handle it well, he would get into trouble.

You know, ordinary people can't get this kind of thing. The reason why Han Tao was able to get it was through Teacher Gao and several senior brothers, including some other relationships. He must handle it carefully and not bring hatred to them or cause trouble.

........................

Chapter 474 Xu Jie's Crisis

In the most prosperous street of K City, Country Y, not far from the hotel where Xu Jie was staying, there was a residential building. Seven or eight burly men were hiding in a house in the residential building. Each of them was very strong and exuded a tough aura from head to toe.

Moreover, these people had bulges on their waists, obviously hiding weapons. One of the bald men was standing by the window, observing the hotel not far away with a telescope.

From the attitudes of several people, it can be seen that the bald man is their leader. He is wearing a gray shirt with his sleeves rolled up, revealing his strong bronze muscles.

"The target has appeared. Everyone, pack up your things. As soon as they leave the city, be ready to strike!"

After observing for a long time, until two people got off a business car and walked into the hotel, the bald man took out the binoculars and spoke in a low voice.

One of the burly Asian men leaned over and couldn't help but tease, "Boss, after we get the stuff, what are we going to do with those two? I think that female target is pretty good looking. How about letting you guys have a taste of her after we get her?"

As soon as he said this, the other people laughed knowingly. However, the bald man's face darkened slightly, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he kicked the big man who was speaking and said:

"Sea dog, you're going to die on a woman's belly sooner or later. I'm telling you, put that lustful heart away. If the mission fails because of you, I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs."

After saying that, he swept his eyes around and gave the others a cold warning: "Listen up, everyone! This mission must succeed, failure is not allowed. If you fail, I will throw you all to North Africa to experience the Mediterranean style. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Intimidated by the fierce aura emanating from the bald leader, the other men put away their smiles, quickly stood up and stood at attention, then separated and methodically packed up the weapons, equipment and other things they needed.

...............

In the Lujiazui Financial Street in Shanghai, at the entrance of Huaxin Securities, Guan Juer was waiting with her schoolbag on her back.

After a while, she saw Han Tao's Maybach Pullman coming towards her. She waved goodbye to her colleagues who were leaving get off work together, and then walked towards the car that was gradually stopping.

Han Tao opened the car door and waited for Guan Juer to get in and sit down. Then he asked with a smile, "Guan Guan, I've been too busy these past few days and haven't been home. Is your aunt at your place, or is she at the hotel with your uncle?"

Hearing Han Tao's question, Guan Juer put her schoolbag aside and said, "Thank you, Brother Han, for picking me up. Mom didn't go to Ode to Joy today. Let's go directly to the hotel to meet them and then go home after dinner!"

"Okay, then let's go straight to the hotel!"

Han Tao nodded, told the driver to drive to the Hilton Hotel, then sat in the car, closed his eyes and thought about the problem.

Guan Juer, who was standing aside, looked at Han Tao. This was the first time she saw Han Tao frowning, so she blushed slightly as she reached out and held Han Tao's hand, and asked softly:

"Brother Han, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong at work?"

"Nothing, just thinking about something!"

Han Tao opened his eyes, looked at the somewhat naive Guan Juer, and smiled faintly, "How are you? Did you have fun playing with your uncle and aunt? Has your work been going well these past two days?"

"Don't mention Brother Han. It's been a while since I saw my parents, so she's been cleaning the house for me these past few days, washing the sheets and quilts, and she's been nagging me, saying she wants to marry..."

Guan Juer was complaining about her mother when she suddenly realized something and quickly lowered her head to change the subject:

"My mom is always talking about trivial matters. Let's talk about work. Ever since the incident with Michelle, I've been working according to what you said. Now our manager no longer scolds me, and she often smiles at me now. I think she still likes me very much!"

"Haha, our Guan Guan is so cute, who wouldn't like her!"

Han Tao couldn't help but scratch Guan Juer's nose, then took out a box from the gift bag beside him and handed it to her:

"This is a gift for you. Do you like it?"

"A gift for me?"

Guan Juer looked at the box in Han Tao's hand and felt a little excited. It was the first time she received a gift from a man. She clenched her hands nervously, not knowing whether she should take it.
