91: Money and Law
After discussing things carefully with Zhang Yadong, Han Wen left Jubaopen Records. However, he didn't go home; instead, he went to Yinshan Guard.
This was the first time Han Wen and Zhou Yu had met since they got drunk together last time. There was no way around it; Han Wen was too lazy, and Zhou Yu was too busy. So, it was rare for the two of them to meet unless there was something important.
Besides, Han Wen has already fallen in love with someone else and has another woman by his side, so he's too embarrassed to keep hanging around his brother-in-law.
In the past, he would come here to inquire about Zhou Ning, and Zhou Yu would naturally treat him with great courtesy.
If he comes here without a pretext and angers Zhou Yu, he's doomed.
Because this is a security company, and everyone here is a master, all of whom are Zhou Yu's men and obey his every command.
The major shareholder of Hanwen Company has no status, no position, and no power here. Apart from receiving some dividends, he gets no benefits whatsoever; it's truly pitiful.
Therefore, Zhou Yu's expression was also one of surprise when he saw Han Wen again.
"If it's about Ningning, you should just go back. She hasn't returned from abroad, and I haven't heard from her either," Zhou Yu said directly. "I'm very busy and don't have time for you."
Han Wen knew that once he had another woman, Zhou Yu would definitely change his attitude towards him. He admitted he was somewhat in the wrong about this.
"Brother, I'm not here for Sister Ning. I have something else to discuss with you." Han Wen shook his head.
"I really hoped you came because of Ningning, but unfortunately, I know it's impossible." Zhou Yu sighed, then gestured to the stool for the other person to sit down: "So, what do you want to see me about?"
"Brother, one of my companies has run into some minor trouble. So, I'd like to hire a lawyer to represent us in court." Han Wen sat down and said, "However, there are no professional law firms in Jinghua City right now. Even if I wanted to find a lawyer, I don't have any connections right now."
I heard Sister Ning tell you before that your aunt is a university teacher who teaches law.
So, I'd like to ask you for your help and see if your aunt can introduce me to a few lawyers.
Of course, it would be even better if you could recommend a law firm.
Because I have too many companies under my control. In the future, I'll definitely need to collaborate with professional law firms. Since that's the case, I might as well start now.
"You're going to hire a lawyer, even go directly to a law firm?" Zhou Yu was surprised. "Han Wen, do you know how expensive it is to hire a lawyer for a lawsuit? Do you know how much it costs to cooperate with a law firm every year?"
"Brother, I don't know." Han Wen shook his head helplessly and pretended to be pitiful: "That's why I came to find you."
These days, it's not enough for a person to just have money; they also need to know how to use the law to protect themselves.
"If I hadn't been forced into this situation, with no other options, I wouldn't have dared to lay a finger on my aunt."
"Hanwen, let me tell you. If you just want to hire a lawyer, it's not a big problem."
"If we go to court, the costs will be huge." Zhou Yu thought for a moment before saying, "As for cooperating with a law firm, I suggest you give up on that idea."
Because even if you're very wealthy now, others may not be willing to cooperate with you.
"Brother, do you know exactly how much money I have right now?" Han Wen asked after a moment of silence.
Zhou Yu looked up at Han Wen with a serious expression, but did not ask any questions.
Because if Hanwen wanted to know, he would have just given him the answer directly; there was no need for all this trouble.
His question was simply to prove that he was no longer the same person he used to be, and that he had achieved great success.
"Brother, please do me this favor. I have money, but I need a lawyer." Han Wen said calmly, "Auntie can introduce me to a lawyer, or she can help me herself."
"Of course, it would be great if she started a new law firm and then worked with me again."
"It's only been a little over a year. Han Wen, when I first met you, you had just returned from Shanghai to ask my mother for money back."
None of us in our family thought you had any money. But you not only paid back the principal, you also paid the interest.
From that moment on, I sensed that you were no ordinary person. Later, I hoped you could help me get rich, and that's how this Silver Mountain Guard came about.
This company has grown from just a few people to several thousand in a short period of time.
Yes, I do owe the bank tens of millions, but the company is now valued at tens of millions.
So, Hanwen, you're really amazing, I truly admire you.
Today, I'm not asking how much money you have. I just want to ask you, you first partnered with me to start a company, and now you want my mother to set up a law firm to work with you.
Why are you so unwilling to do a house split with us? What are you trying to do?
You already have another woman; there's no possibility of you and Ningning ever being together again. Actually, you can completely let go of the past, let go of everything, and start a new life.
"I owe Sister Ning too much, and I have no chance to make it up to her. I can only try to be nicer to you. Because you are Sister Ning's brother."
"If Ning-jie comes back one day and sees all this, I hope she won't blame me and will feel a little better." Han Wen paused for a moment before replying, "Also, although I already have other women, I have never given up on Ning-jie, and she has always held a place in my heart. You can say I'm greedy, but that's just the kind of man I am."
Therefore, I hope to take this opportunity to communicate with my aunt and improve our relationship.
If Ningjie comes back, even if Auntie doesn't approve of us being together, please don't hurt Ningjie too much.
"They say you're sentimental, but you found another woman only a year after breaking up with Ningning. They say you're heartless, but you can't forget her and can't let her go." Zhou Yu sighed, "Han Wen, I can tell my mother about your needs."
However, if she knew the company belonged to you, she probably wouldn't have taken the job.
"Then don't let Auntie know," Han Wen said. "There are too many people in this world with the same name."
As long as I don't meet with my aunt and delegate the business to someone else, she would never guess that I would be the one to entrust it to her.
I think, in her mind, I must always have been that poor, out-of-town guy, a high school student, busy typing, assembling computers, and repairing them.
"Yes, that's what my mom thinks. So, I haven't dared to tell her the truth about the Silver Mountain Guards yet." Zhou Yu nodded. "Besides, my mom has never met you."
So even if you show up, she probably won't make any other connections.
Because her preconceived notions are so deeply ingrained, she simply cannot imagine that you could actually rise so high and achieve such great success.
"Brother, you agreed?" Han Wen's eyes lit up as he asked.
"For Ningning's sake, I'll help you out again." Zhou Yu nodded. "If my mom knew I was scheming against her, I'd probably be in big trouble."
"Brother, thank you." Han Wen was very touched.
"We're brothers, no need to be so polite," Zhou Yu shook his head.
