"I'm sure you're not here to entertain me, say something practical. Lin Yilong said.

"I want to come back to you. Katie said.

"It can't be. Lin Yilong refused, "This can't be the reason why you came to me." Plus, there's no way I'm going to trip over the same rock twice. ”

"I didn't lie! I swear!" Katie whispered, "I know you're secretly negotiating an equity stake in Port Talbot Steelworks, and I'd like to be part of the M&A team." ”

"Nothing. "I'm just a farmer living in South Wales now, playing games, watching movies, and at most co-opening a firm with my former classmates, I've never been in the financial business, and I don't know anything about the steel industry."

"But then again, even if I'm looking to buy a stake in the Port Talbot Steel Mill, why would I have you on my investment team? Who are you, and where does the trust between us come from?

"Finally, I don't think your current business or legal skills are up to the mark to join my investment team. Lin Yilong concluded.

On the other side of the cubicle, Nadia and Vera almost screamed in surprise.

"I don't think your last talk about ability is a reason for you to reject me. Katie replied with great confidence, "Your negotiating partner, Mr. Alex Gwent....."

"I'm amazed that you know so much. Lin Yilong exclaimed, "Does it seem that Alan Binghamton acted as an agent for Tata Steel, which controls Talbot Steel, to handle this transaction?"

"I admit yes. Katie replied, "At first, as a junior assistant, I wasn't familiar with the names of your partners and classmates, until I saw the name of your M&A investment, Cwmdoncin Capital. Cwm means valley in Welsh, Don means toward, Cin means mesas, and if you consider the Welsh word for "mesa between valleys". It fits the topography of the new house you mentioned. ”

"It's an interesting speculation, please go on. Lin Yilong motioned for Katie to continue.

"Alex Gwent....." Katie followed her rhythm and just said a name.

"Did you leave something behind?" interrupted Lin Yilong again.

"Well, it's Mr. Alex ap. Gwent, who, like you, graduated from Cardiff College, University of Wales, but whose profession is financial compliance. Although he does have some experience in mergers and acquisitions, which are small industries, such as clothing stores, restaurants and cold drink shops, he does not have the ability to make large-scale capital commercial mergers and acquisitions. Katie said calmly, "So, combining the two sides, I deduced that it was you who gave instructions to these students at the back of the merger and acquisition case, and you are the only one who has the ability to operate the capital." If I know this, will I be able to convince you to dispel your concerns about my incompetence in M&A cases?"

"Well, let you find these, even if you convince me in terms of ability. Lin Yilong listened to Katie's speech while eating barbecue, and felt that something was wrong, he had been thinking about coping strategies, "But how do you convince me about loyalty?"

"I know these things, but I haven't told Mr. Davis, can I be loyal?" asked Katie, but she immediately realized that she was cocooning herself.

"What do you say?" Lin Yilong asked mockingly, looking at Katie's reaction.

If Katie hadn't told Davis her speculation, she would have violated the lawyer's principle of good faith and certainly been disloyal to her employer.

"You have been disloyal when you came to see me because of this. I think you get the idea, my stupid little kitty. Lin Yilong continued to smile, "However, if you think that loyalty to me is higher than loyalty to the law and the legal profession, it can also make sense in my opinion." I'm in a situation where I don't think you're going to leave unilaterally as a sign of loyalty to me. ”

Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, that's all. She stared at Lin Yilong a little distractedly, and said to herself, "What should I do." ”

"Quite simply, prove to me that you are loyal to me. Lin Yilong said expressionlessly, "If you can prove to me that you left a few months ago, I can understand that the kitten went out to play and played a little crazy, so in order to make the kitten lose again, I can only tie a bell to the cat's neck."

"Perhaps, your real purpose in inviting me here is to threaten me with your own speculation to provide you with some inside information to facilitate a deal, or just come and simply come to me to confirm your speculation and improve your impression in front of Davis. I'm lazy and lazy, but I've done my homework a long time ago. Don't forget, I was also a senior assistant to Alan Binghamton, but the people at Tata Steel didn't know I existed. When you decided not to ask Alan Binghamton to recuse yourself from calling me today, it was already a bit too much.

"If you stay good and just do your job, you can get by. In the current situation, how to say it, if you don't pretend to be smart and have a little more experience, it is really possible to get through this time. Well, that's all.

Katie's expression was dejected, she had actually gotten the information she wanted, but it was just an indiscreet remark that had ruined all her previous efforts.

"Obey all my commands, understand all my requirements, you know what I mean. Lin Yilong said.

"And now?" asked Katie.

"Put this on. Lin Yilong said, and then threw out a wooden box, which was not the simple diamond necklace that Katie once had, but a humiliating metal collar.

"This ......" Katie stared at Lin Yilong with trembling anger, "here?"

"Yes, do you have any doubts!?" Lin Yilong said without any change in tone, "It seems that you need a demonstration." Nadia. ”

Hearing Lin Yilong's call, Nadia opened the door of the compartment.

"Set an example for her and show her what loyalty is. Lin Yilong said coldly.

Ignoring Katie's frightened appearance, Nadia quickly followed Lin Yilong's instructions and put on the collar.

"I'm Nadia, and we used to ...... I've met. Nadia originally wanted to say something else, but Lin Yilong stared at him and reorganized his language.

"Vera!" Lin Yilong called Vera into the cubicle and repeated Nadia's obedience.

"If you don't see it, don't say you can give loyalty and tame without it. Lin Yilong looked at Katie while motioning for Sister Yeon to leave, "You can go back and think about it, and go to Wales to find me after thinking about it." If you're willing to come back, I'm welcome, but you have to give an explanation and accept the punishment for leaving, if you don't want to come back, I'll just do nothing when our meeting this afternoon didn't happen, and finally if you report your findings to Davis, well, I'll report to the Bar that the employee of my former employer is unprofessional, meet with the client privately, withdraw Alan Binghamton from the whole case and apply for practice insurance compensation — I don't think we want that to happen, do we?"

Immediately, Lin Yilong left the private room, nodded to the proprietress he had already familiarized, but did not pay the bill handed by the proprietress and pointed to the private room he came out of, and left the restaurant.

"I'm really sorry. As soon as Lin Yilong went out, he bowed and thanked Nadia and Vera, who were already waiting at the door, "Let you be wronged." ”

"It's our duty. Nadia said, "Vera and I, trust you completely and are willing to obey all your decisions. ”

"Thank you for your understanding. Lin Yilong stood on tiptoe and kissed Nadia and then Vera, "What do you think she means?" ”

"Yilong, before making a judgment, I want to know, is what she just speculated true?" Nadia looked at Lin Yilong and asked seriously.

"It's far from the truth, but it's just the right idea. Lin Yilong said.

"Then can I know how much net worth you have?" Nadia looked at Lin Yilong.

"You can only see it. Lin Yilong whispered, and then looked at Vera who didn't make a statement, "But once you know, there is no longer an option for freedom and independence in my place, do you really want to know?"

"Yes, my sister and I both understand. We can't leave you for a long time. Otherwise, they would not have obeyed unconditionally as they did just now. Vera's cheeks were red to feverish, and she lowered her head and said.
