Chapter 20: Conscience

Huo Lang has been a "child of other people's families" since he was a child, with a good family background, good study, good personality, very well-behaved and obedient, and does not let his parents worry about everything. Oh, to be precise, it should not be to worry about the mother.

Huo Lang's father, Huo Xian, was a judge, and when Huo Lang was young, his impression of his father had always been strange and alienated, because the number of meetings was too few.

Holland still remembers a joke his mother had told. It was when he was in the fifth grade, and his mother was on a temporary business trip, so Huo Xian could only take time to attend Huo Lang's parent-teacher conference. But when Huo Xian arrived at school, he found that he didn't know what grade his son was in, which class he was in, and he didn't know who Huo Lang's teacher was and what he looked like, so he had to call his wife for help.

In Horan's memories as a child, there are very few things related to his father. But he felt that it didn't matter, it was enough to have a mother, and it was enough for his mother to have him. This thought continued until the mother fell ill.

At that time, Huo Lang was already in high school, and he was supposed to live in the school according to the regulations, but he found the principal many times, and finally became the only day student in the school.

So every day after school, he had to go to the hospital to see his mother before going home. Sometimes I said a few words, and sometimes my mother fell asleep, so she sat quietly with her for a while. But until that time, Huo Lang still rarely saw Huo Xian.

It was also at that time that he first resented Huo Xian.

Huo Xian is a typical workaholic, that is, when he is not working, as long as he is at home, he stays in his study. When Huo Lang was a child, he used to sneak in to play, and saw that all four walls were large bookcases that almost reached the roof, and the bookcases were densely packed with heavy and thick tomes.

Huo Lang curiously pulled out one, but the book was too heavy for him to hold at all, so he fell directly and hit his foot, and he cried in pain.

Later, Huo Xian no longer allowed Huo Lang to enter his study. Later, Huo Lang learned that the reason why he was forbidden to enter the study was not because he was afraid that he would be hit by the book again, but because the book that hit him was broken.

If you don't let in, you won't let in, Huo Lang doesn't care, anyway, there is nothing to play there except for books. It's just that this habit has been maintained, even if Huo Xian made it clear that Huo Lang could use all the materials in his study, Huo Lang still didn't go in. Sometimes, in order to verify a case, he would rather go to several libraries than use Huo Xian's collection of books at his fingertips.

All this is because my mother is sick.

Holland had always felt that his mother was tired and sick. Huo Xian doesn't care about the family, his mother has to take care of Huo Lang and support Huo Lang's grandparents outside of work, and often has to go back to his parents' house to see his parents, and he is busy all day without touching the ground.

Huo Lang saw all this, but for outsiders, all they could see was that Huo Xian's work was getting better and better, and more and more cases were included in the classic case collection, and of course, his position was getting higher and higher.

Everyone said that Huo Lang's mother was too blessed, her husband was so good, and her son was well-behaved and obedient. Only Huo Lang felt that his mother was unlucky, so he put on a Huo Xian.

So when the college entrance examination was over, Huo Xian asked him to choose a law school, but he refused. Huo Xian has never interfered with his son's studies, of course, this is also because he never cared. On that occasion, however, he made a very strong statement that if Holland was to go to college, he would have to go to law school.

Huo Lang was not obsessed with what major to study, but Huo Xian's toughness inspired his rebellious heart, so he sneered and said that he would not go to college.

But he didn't persevere, because his seriously ill mother wanted him to go to college, and she also hoped that he could continue to follow the path Huo Xian had walked.

Huo Lang reluctantly entered law school, but after his mother's death, he realized that it might not be a bad idea to enter law school.

So he began to study hard, took the first place in all his homework, and began to intern in a well-known law firm without graduating from his bachelor's degree, and then naturally entered graduate school. Then he studied harder, passed the licensing exam in the first year of graduate school, and continued to intern in law firms, assisting formal lawyers in handling more complex and difficult cases until graduation.

He entered CEFC.

Huo Lang's choice surprised everyone who knew him, when everyone thought that he had the ability and would definitely follow in Huo Xian's footsteps.

Huo Lang didn't care what others thought, he only knew that when he told Huo Xian about his choice, Huo Xian's confused, angry and helpless expression made him deeply feel the pleasure of revenge. He felt like he had won.

But now, he recalled what Ling Yuyan had said, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to hate Huo Xian so much. Because Ling Yuyan said that he must be worthy of his duties and conscience.

Huo Lang suddenly remembered an incident when he was a child, something he had forgotten for a long time, and somehow, it suddenly came to mind at this time.

It was when he was just in junior high school, and one day, an old man came to his house, dressed very plainly, and it can even be said that he was very shabby. As soon as he entered Huo's house, he knelt down and wept silently to thank Huo Xian for clearing his son's suspicion.

Huo Lang was driven back to his room by his parents after hearing this, and he didn't know what happened next. At the time, he didn't care, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes that this is probably what "worthy of his conscience" means.

Huo Lang felt that his heart was very chaotic, and he felt that the ubiquitous fragrance of osmanthus made him dizzy, so he hurried back to his residence.

After walking for nearly an hour, it was already more than ten o'clock, but Huo Lang only felt tired, but his mind was still spinning, and many fragments of his previous life kept pouring out, and when he closed his eyes, there were mixed pictures.

In order to expel the images, Huo Lang simply did not sleep, turned on his computer, and continued to search the Internet for news reports about Hangzhou's cross-border trade, and expanded the search to the whole of last year.

Two hours later, Holland rubbed his sour eyes. I've been staring at the screen for too long, and I can't keep my eyes open, but I still can't find anything. Huo Lang couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and finally clicked "Next" again, and a news message jumped into his eyes.

"Hangzhou Free Trade Zone Introduces Big Mac Logistics and Warehousing Enterprises to Help Cross-border E-commerce Achieve a Big Leap"

The news is very short, only two or three hundred words, which roughly means that a logistics company named "Xunjie" has been stationed in the Hangzhou Free Trade Zone, which provides services including cargo warehousing, logistics and transportation, product display and other services for all enterprises in the zone, and will further provide customs clearance, tax payment, quarantine and other services in the future.

This news was released in the first half of last year, and it is said that it does not match Ling Yuyan's request. But Huo Lang stared at it for a long time, and intuitively felt that this news was very important, so he saved the webpage and sent it to Ling Yuyan's mailbox at the same time.

In the morning, as soon as Huo Lang got to work, he knocked on Ling Yuyan's door. Since he arrived at the Ministry of Trade, his schedule has been automatically adjusted to be the same as Ling Yuyan, going to work half an hour earlier every day, taking advantage of the quiet time when there are few people, to make a full-day work plan.

"Mr. Ling, take a look at the mailbox, I sent you another piece of news last night, you can see if it is useful first. ”

Ling Yuyan opened the mailbox and glanced at the sending time, 0:31.

"After you went back yesterday, you searched for so long?" Ling Yuyan was a little surprised.

"I couldn't sleep, so I got up and flipped through it. Holland did not say that he had been looking for more than two hours.

Ling Yuyan didn't ask any more questions, opened the email and looked carefully, just three hundred words, but after reading for nearly ten minutes, Huo Lang knew that he had found the right one.

Ling Yuyan's eyes stayed on the words "in the future, customs clearance, tax payment, quarantine and other services will be further provided", while habitually tapping the desktop with her fingers, she thought about it and said: "This is fast, we have cooperated with CEFC since we entered Hangzhou, but the business volume is not particularly large." However, as far as I know, he has a similar relationship with various banks, and he does not have a particularly close relationship with anyone. ”

"Then I'll go back and look for it again to see if they have interacted with Hengsheng recently?" asked Huo Lang.

Ling Yuyan nodded hesitantly: "Okay, you go and find it, but I have a hunch that you can't find anything." Shi Nai is so cautious, if it is really related to swiftness, there will definitely be no news on the Internet. I'll also make a few calls and try to find out. Half an hour later, we'll meet again. ”

The two of them acted separately, but they were busy for half an hour, and when they met again, they shook their heads at the same time, and there was no news. Sometimes, however, there is no news, which means that there is a big change hidden in it.

At this time, it is the time when most people have just arrived at the office, there are greetings, there are water, and the public office area is very lively. Ling Yuyan motioned for Huo Lang to close the door, and then spoke: "Xunjie is essentially a service-oriented domestic enterprise, and it does not operate import and export business, so it does not have a very close relationship with various banks. However, it has been a year and a half since he was stationed, and according to the news, it is time to provide further services. If he really gets the support of the relevant departments, he can act as an agent for all enterprises in the bonded zone for customs clearance, tax declaration and inspection and quarantine, and the meaning will be different. ”

Huo Lang listened quietly, and when he first saw the news, he was also attracted by these words. However, he relied on intuition, while Ling Yuyan relied on rich experience.

This means that he can get all the most authentic business information of all the enterprises in the free trade zone, and this information is what our bank dreams of. When we do business, we are most afraid that companies will provide false information in order to get loans. However, because there is no unified standard, the contracts, invoices and other documents that customers travel between domestic and foreign countries are all made and provided by themselves, and our bank can only judge the authenticity as much as possible based on experience. And once we have a real source of information, we can accurately and quickly determine which company is a real high-quality customer and which one is trying to cheat loans. ”

"But even if this information is not a trade secret, it is also the internal information of various enterprises, even if it can be obtained quickly, it can't be used by banks casually, right?"

Ling Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's put aside the question you said, the first thing to determine is whether they really want to cooperate with Hengsheng." ”
