Chapter 286: Third Brother, New Company
According to Li Yan, it’s just the right opportunity to find a companion for Li Chengfeng, as a birthday gift, which is undoubtedly very fitting.
However, Li Jie still needs ti to accept this issue; she’s certain about handling the matter with her old comrades first.
Anyway, Li Yan has already finished his "official business". Whether he can help his soon-to-be father-in-law resolve an issue will depend on the future outco.
After leaving Jie Rui, he initially planned to return to the company. Since among them, he hadn’t seen Hai Fu since the New Year’s holiday. But now, going back to the company wasn’t convenient for a eting.
While on the road, a phone call summoned him to Zheng Yixuan’s law firm.
He had returned to his hotown during the New Year’s holiday and hadn’t visited Zheng Yixuan upon his return. The current call was because there was sothing that needed his attention, which he had to handle.
Arriving at Zheng Yixuan’s law firm, it seed less busy than last ti. Perhaps part of the staff hadn’t started working yet, or the workload after the New Year was so high that they were out.
Thanks to Zheng Yixuan’s prior notice, everything went smoothly, and he was directly invited to Zheng Yixuan’s office.
"Third Brother, congrats on getting rich! Where’s my red envelope?" Li Yan joked after eting him.
Zheng Yixuan pulled out a pile of docunts, half-jokingly saying, "You want to give you a red envelope? Looks like you’re richer than , Old Seven."
"Nonsense, I just saved a bit by risking my life. Unlike you, having a whole group making money for you, while you just play golf, drink, chat, and make money every day." Li Yan walked over to check the docunts.
"Here’s what’s done, Old Four got the venture capital process ready for you. I’ve checked it, legally it’s mostly fine. But your company is still just an empty shell. When will you have an office, staff, and everything set up? Even a shell company should look sowhat decent!" Zheng Yixuan handed them over to him.
This was arranged by He Bin, as many regulations involved dostic laws and local rules, not only needing Zheng Yixuan, the prominent lawyer, to oversee, but also because sending them to him rather than directly to Li Yan would avoid suspicions from nosy people. Zheng Yixuan receives a vast array of docunts every day, including many from overseas.
Li Yan glanced briefly; with the capabilities of He Bin and Zheng Yixuan, there wouldn’t be a better outco if he handled it himself.
"Haha, it’s not a shell company; it just hasn’t formally started yet."
Zheng Yixuan moved over to the lounge sofa, gesturing for Li Yan to join him.
Li Yan happily sat down, refusing the cigars Zheng Yixuan offered, choosing his own cigarettes instead.
"Let’s put it this way, are you willing to be stationed permanently in S City with your current identity?"
"It’s just an additional, transparent identity, sa as before. Being invisible for too long isn’t good either, let’s change it up!"
Zheng Yixuan nodded, "If that’s the case, I support you. Just like I want to change my life too, but I can’t..."
"..." Li Yan wasn’t sure if he was serious; if it weren’t for sharing the sa secrets and experiences, coming from soone with a successful law firm, saying sothing like this might seem pretentious or hypocritical.
"But... hehe, don’t bla for ddling. I’ve noticed you’re juggling several relationships. Which one are you settling with this ti?"
Li Yan wasn’t surprised he knew about it. Just like back when Peng Duandao, Liu Yunqing, and the others rebelled, he was the first to find out.
"Let guess, your wife Zhang Yurong doesn’t know your background, your marriage wasn’t by choice, and she probably just hopes you can advance in Paradise Group. The other girls wouldn’t think too much. Now you’re considering this because the Yu Family has assigned you a task, right?"
Li Yan nodded, "That’s right, Chen Mingying said I need to prove my capability, giving two choices, without needing to start from scratch to prove myself; they’d provide the startup capital, with a three-year tifra. First, they’d give 1 million and expect it to grow to 5 million. Second, they’d give 10 million and expect it to grow to 30 million."
"You chose not to take their capital, yet aim to reach 30 million in three years?" Zheng Yixuan saw right through him. "And the approach is to invest your own money?"
Li Yan nodded while smiling, "Rest assured, I’m only channeling a portion in."
"I know, your inco is substantial, richer than mine. I’ve heard... you recently got a large sum? And it’s a bit troubleso?" Zheng Yixuan switched the topic.
Li Yan smirked, "Hypocrite! Why say it’s heard, it’s obviously from Old Four. As for the source of this money, maybe he’s also matching the numbers. What’s there to ask, want to verify sothing? I did it, and I’m not afraid to admit it."
Zheng Yixuan shook his head with a chuckle, "Regardless of what you say, you’re not a novice anymore, you’ve gained your own experience, learning how to weigh the pros and cons. Old Four will clean up your ss. However, from a lawyer’s perspective, I still remind you, these actions carry risks, even more than your main job. You might as well continue in the promising career of being an assassin!"
