2 Old man

Knowing that Lin Yilong had set off for Heathrow, Xu Zhenkun did not make any delays, and made an appointment with Lin Yilong to have dinner the next night.

The flight distance from the capital of New South Wales to Xiangjiang is no shorter than that from Heathrow to Xiangjiang, and there are no flights at night, even if he takes the earliest flight, Xu Zhenkun can only arrive at about 3 p.m. in the East Eighth District.

Lin Yilong didn't plan to save Xu Zhenkun money, so the flight to Xiangjiang asked Katie to book a first-class cabin and put it in the travel expenses reported by the law firm to the client.

From cold and damp London to sunny Hong Kong, despite missing the Spring Festival, Lin Yilong was at least relieved in terms of climate and mood.

After the border check was cleared, Lin Yilong instinctively called Bonnie, but the phone did not go through. Lin Yilong then remembered that Bonnie was now studying at their original alma mater.

Without further notice from Xu Zhenkun, Lin Yilong ordered a cup of English afternoon tea at the dock café in the central district, and leisurely waited for the travelers who hurried from Australia.

At five o'clock in the evening, Xu Zhenkun hurriedly came to the coffee shop to meet his friends.

Although Xu Zhenkun is still like that, he is still much stronger after half a year.

"This investor of mine now lives in an IFC hotel. Xu Zhenkun didn't do too much greetings, and directly introduced the matter that Lin Yilong wanted to take over.

"The money invested in your fund doesn't seem to come so openly. Lin Yilong asked.

"I don't know and don't want to know where the money came from. Xu Zhenkun replied, "The fund company does not negotiate too much on the issue of the source of funds. ”

"I'm principled. Lin Yilong didn't answer Xu Zhenkun's words, "If there is only a little doubt, there will be risks." ”

"That's what we're going to talk about when we meet today. Xu Zhenkun signaled his friend not to get excited, "Of course we can't take one side of the story, but that's what I saw." ”

"Let's talk about it after we meet. Lin Yilong said, "How much money did this person invest in you?"

Since the two separated last summer, Xu Zhenkun, who was unwilling to be lonely, registered two more financial entities in Xiangjiang and Lion City to continue his career in the financial market, and Lin Yilong also got involved: put some money into it.

"Not a lot. Xu Zhenkun replied with some ambiguous words, "If the amount you put in me is just the love between friends, then the amount he invested in me can be said to be more than the trust of relatives." ”

"That seems like a lot. Lin Yilong estimated the possible amount, "We're going to see your customer when we have dinner?"

"Yes. ”

"Then I'll have to change my clothes first. Lin Yilong looked at his casual outfit of T-shirt and jeans with vest, which was not very suitable for a working dinner.

Lin Yilong always likes to travel light, and this time, in addition to underwear, there is only a 30-pound full set of cheap suits, which is used for formal occasions, but it is a "disposable" work suit.

"It doesn't have to be so formal. Xu Zhenkun replied, "It's just a general meeting. ”

"But the hotel's restaurant would have what you need. ”

"No, there isn't. Xu Zhenkun's outfit is also a shirt with trousers, "I remember you said that the seafood near Xiangjiang is good, so it's better to go to the seafood restaurant in Saigon..."

"It's still close, although it doesn't matter if we go to Saigon, but customers are still customers after all. Because Bonnie wasn't there, Lin couldn't think of where he could go at night – he didn't even go to the bars in Wales and London, let alone the noisy nightclubs of Lan Kwai Fong.

Xu Zhenkun arranged good accommodation, just in the Plaza Oriental Hotel, two adjoining rooms.

"Meet in the lobby at 7 o'clock. Xu Zhenkun instructed him before the two parted.

The night of the first day of the new year is always a little awkward, unlike the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Chinese New Year's Eve, people are tired from the vigil and entertainment last night, and they invariably choose to rest on the first day of the new year.

However, as long as there is business, even if it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the lawyers still have to work.

There was still plenty of time, so Lin Yilong called his partner and asked him to wait for him in the hotel room in half an hour.

"Hello uncle. Lin Yilong wore the blue-gray suit that had just been ironed, and greeted Bonnie's ex-husband Lei's father, and attached a prepared red envelope, "Happy New Year Wishing you prosperity!"

Lei's father was 66 years old, and it would take several years for Bonnie to obtain a lawyer's license, so Lin Yilong thought twice and entrusted the affairs of the branch to Lei's father. Although he had to recuse himself from some criminal investigations, the former prosecutor became Lynn's partner in Hong Kong after Ray's departure, and was qualified to practice in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and Australia (Victoria).

Although it has left the Yangzi Centre, where it used to work, it has only turned from the southwest to the west of Queen's Square, and nothing has changed, not even the fixed lunch and dinner stalls.

Xu Zhenkun's legal services when he set up the trust before were handled by him.

"Happy New Year!" the old man took Lin Yilong's red envelope, and at the same time hugged his fists and handed him a copy.

Xiangjiang people are known for picking the door when it comes to giving red envelopes, rarely exceeding 50 yuan. If the amount of money in the red envelope reaches 100 yuan, it means that the relationship with you is quite good.

Lin Yilong gave the red envelope because the boss gave the subordinate, and Lei's father gave the red envelope to the old man to the junior.

After exchanging red envelopes, Lin Yilong briefly explained the reason for his sudden visit to Hong Kong on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

“... So, I'm sorry to have you here at this time, but it's also work. ”

"I kind of get it. Ray's father replied, "It's a bit vague, but if it's done properly, this order can still be done." ”

"How?"

"I'm going to think about it. The old man looked a little tired, "If possible, I'll dig into the details after the various explanations and documents arrive." ”

"It's natural. Lin Yilong sent the partner out of the room, "How many days do we usually have to rest?"

"About three days, with weekends off, it can be up to five days. The old man replied.

"Then I'll go to the law firm four days later, that is, on Wednesday, and if the client can do it this time, I'll bring it with me. We'll see you in the next year. After Lin Yilong put the old lawyer into the elevator, he returned to the room.

Xu Zhenkun had already poked his head out at this time, he had heard the voices of Lin Yilong and Lei's father just now, and knew that Lin Yilong was using his local resources.

"If you're ready, we'll go now. Xu Zhenkun also changed into a dark blue suit and was with Lin Yilong.
