In the office of the president of Tatfook Bank, in the face of Zheng Fan's gaze, the Chinese female lawyer really thought about it.

"If my guess is right, the reason why the boss will choose me is probably because I am cheap." After a while, the female lawyer actually made a joke.

"I found Wan Geqi before, as a third-party law firm that acquired Dafu Bank, but I just took a fancy to Wan Geqi's fame, but I didn't expect your former owner to send such a beautiful lawyer!" Zheng Fan smiled informally.

"It's better not to make fun of me, the boss still doesn't make fun of me, among financial institutions, there is no shortage of beautiful women." The female lawyer coped with a smile.

"The case of the acquisition of Tatfook Bank is worth two million Hong Kong dollars, and your teacher Wan Xincheng is one of the best lawyers in Hong Kong, otherwise he would not be called Magnum Gold, since he dares you to be the representative of Wan Geqi Law Firm and be responsible for the project of Tatfook Bank, it is enough to prove your ability." Zheng Fan smiled calmly.

"In the legal profession, men are almost an all-round advantage, especially in Hong Kong, where it is even more difficult for female lawyers to get ahead." Ruan Yuan smiled charmingly.

"The innate gap is just a constraint of thinking, and in my opinion, in the lawyer industry, bold and careful women are more suitable." Zheng Fan took a puff of his cigar and said.

"At Century Holdings, I don't know what I can do for you." The female lawyer shook her head, her expression calming down.

"I've read your information carefully, Ph.D. from Yale Law School, although he returned to Hong Kong, he has the qualifications to practice as a registered lawyer in New York and Washington, and is also a member of the American Business Bar Association. Zheng Fan leaned back in the boss's chair and said.

"Yale has a lot of J.D., but I'm not alone." Although Ruan Yuan never sat down, she was very relaxed.

"The point is that I have only caught you now, and after you returned to Hong Kong, you have not lost a single of 12 business lawsuits." Zheng Fan wiped his eyelids and said.

"Litigation and commercial disputes are my forte, but this is my first time as the company's general counsel." is different from Ruan Yuan's conservative words, but her eyes reveal positive and enterprising confidence.

"Lawyers have always been paid according to their work, and I asked you before how much income is ideal in a year, and you said that you would be very satisfied with reaching 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and I hope you can be worthy of this price." Zheng Fan stared at the female lawyer and said.

"Boss, do you know that before I joined Century Holdings, under normal circumstances, my hourly fee was 500 Hong Kong dollars, and if I won the court, it would be calculated separately, but after joining Century Holdings, these two parts of income are gone." Ruan Yuan's complaint has a ridiculous meaning.

"If you know enough to be a person, you can do it well in the future, and when the situation of Century Holdings gets warmer, I will consider adding a little more to you as appropriate." Zheng Fan smiled with a deep smile.

In fact, even if Zheng Fan doesn't say it, Ruan Yuan also understands that he can offer a price of five million Hong Kong dollars a year, which is already a high salary for a personal legal lawyer.

If it weren't for Ruan Yuan's good resume, coupled with a period of work experience in Wan Geqi Law Firm, it would be impossible to have the opportunity to be valued by Zheng Fan.

Ruan Yuan knows very well in her heart, not to mention Europe and the United States, even in Hong Kong, a lawyer with some fame is called out, and there is no shortage of gorgeous resumes.

If Zheng Fan hadn't put forward a condition that he would only provide legal services for the company he controlled, it would have been an excellent job as the legal minister of Century Holdings.

"Joining Century Holdings, at least I don't have to have qualifications in a law firm, I just want to know whether the legal affairs of the company that the boss will control in the future will be up to me?" The female lawyer asked with a smile.

"As a man or as a company owner, I'm very competitive." Zheng Fan did not immediately give a positive response.

"No matter how difficult the lawsuit is, I will do my best to win, because the pursuit of victory is my only goal, and I believe that it is a very wise decision for you to hire me, boss." It was only at this time that Ruan Yuan showed extreme confidence.

"Very good, I like confident lawyers, no matter how the company I control develops in the future, you will be the boss of the legal department." Zheng Fan smiled with satisfaction.

"So the legal department of Century Holdings also needs to recruit people?" Although she didn't know Zheng Fan too well, Ruan Yuan instinctively felt that this man was not simple.

"Of course, you have to recruit, you can do this by yourself, but you have to take into account the interests of the company." Zheng Fan is quite refreshing.

"There is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask, that is, boss, as a mainlander, why do you value the legal department so much?" Ruan Yuan asked curiously.

"Where the capital market is developed, the degree of rule of law is usually very high, and the legal provisions are also varied and all-encompassing, and when people have disputes, they are also accustomed to discussing an explanation through the law, and the words such as seeing each other in court are endless, if I don't pay attention to the law, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch in the future." Zheng Fan's statement rarely made the female lawyer look surprised.

"What should I do to join Century Investment?"

This is the first time that Ruan Yuan has consulted Zheng Fan about her positioning.

"It depends on whether you are serving justice, or are you serving customers and parties?" The smile on Zheng Fan's face was not very anxious.

"Even if it is a trial, it is not simply a pursuit of truth, and if I represent a truly guilty party or client, my duty is to try to use all legal and ethical means to prevent the facts of the guilt of the client or client from coming to light, so that the client can obtain a verdict of acquittal. If I fail to do this, it will be a remiss on my part, and you can rest assured that I will not value patriotism, the duty of citizenship, religion, gender or ethnic identity, and any other philosophy or commitment above yours. In the process of speaking, Ruan Yuan embodied the necessary qualities of a professional lawyer.

"Very professional, providing advice on M&A consulting, you have done a good job, what you have to do now is to cooperate with human resources and complete the recruitment, in addition to the Virgin Islands offshore company mentioned earlier, and my dual citizenship, you also have to follow." Zheng Fan said with a faint smile.

"The reason why the boss chose me is because I am good at bankruptcy law, company law, contract law, securities law, international tax law and other financial related matters, right?" Ruan Yuan was interested and asked Zheng Fan.

"These alone are not enough, because Century Holdings may focus on the financial market in the future, and the legal department must be enriched quickly, including leveraged buyouts, the establishment of private equity funds, and having rich experience in company listing, all of which require your help to build a framework, so to speak, every operation of the company in the future has an inseparable relationship with the legal department." Zheng Fan seemed to have a detailed plan early in the morning, and he seemed extremely calm.

"Boss, you don't look like a mainlander!"

Ruan Yuan was really impressed by the man in front of her.

"Including the initial and second securities offerings, as well as private capital raising, you have to be prepared, although you should have professional ethics as a lawyer, but there is one thing I still want to remind you, that is, about Century Investment and any information I have about other companies, it is not allowed to leak it to the outside world." The corners of Zheng Fan's mouth showed an evil smile.

"It's okay for the boss to explain it in advance, if there is nothing else, can I go out and be busy?" Confirming his position under Zheng Fan, Ruan Yuan smiled very knowingly.

"Since I am in the legal system, both I and the company rely on lawyers, and I alone cannot support the operation of the entire company." Zheng Fan has obvious expectations for Ruan Yuan.

"Whether it is work or life, there is no fairness at all, in the capitalist system, although lawyers are not the most popular, but they have always been one of the most influential professions in history to contribute to society, most rich people, will use lawyers as a strong support, but powerless people, in the face of the greed and meanness of lawyers, will feel annoyed, the boss chose me, it is definitely a right decision." Ruan Yuan was very confident and left the president's office with a smile.

"The annual salary of five million Hong Kong dollars a year is really a lot, but poaching her is a good deal." Zheng Fan's key idea is to sort out the company's governance structure through the help of legal counsel.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

Not long after Ruan Yuan went out, there was a knock on the glass door of Zheng Fan's office.

"Chairman, the job fair scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning is almost time." The woman in charge of human resources is a little unaccustomed to the title of boss.

"Regarding recruitment, you have communicated less with Minister Ruan." Zheng Fan reminded the woman.

"The original situation of Tatfook Bank has inherent deficiencies, and now the boss attaches so much importance to human resources, and wants to maintain a high-speed expansion trend, not only my job, but also the company will be under considerable pressure." In the opinion of the woman in charge of manpower, with the current situation of Dafu Bank, Zheng Fan should not value Ruan Yuan so much.

"Is this already overwhelming? In order to relieve the pressure on your human resources, I have spent a lot of money to connect the headhunting company of Haszhe International Consulting to Tatfook Bank, if you can't do it, it will be too wasteful. Zheng Fan smiled playfully at the woman.

"I'm more confident in recruiting talent, but the company also needs to consider the reality of the situation." The woman spoke cautiously.

"Regarding the company's financial aspects, it is not a category that you need to worry about, you just need to resolutely obey my arrangement and be responsible for helping the company recruit talents with strong professional quality." Zheng Fan said indifferently.
