Chapter 257 Return to Langdon
After asking Li Fuzhen to agree to leave with him, Li Zhenyu received an uninvited guest.
Leslie Maya.
Corporate legal attorney, Claire Wogan's beautiful assistant, a Barbie doll with long blond hair.
"Please sit down. What would you like to drink?"
Li Zhenyu invited her to sit across from him with a very cordial attitude.
"No need..." Seeing Li Zhenyu's insistent gaze, Maya said softly: "Just coffee."
Nodding to the waiter, Li Zhenyu waited for him to leave and said straight to the point: "Did Claire ask you to come? What's the legal problem?"
"No." Fingers crossed, showing that Maya was very conflicted in her heart.
At this time, she was also considering whether she should take this step.
But after considering her future and the current actual situation of the law firm, she decided to make the best choice for herself.
"Mr. Li, I would like to be your personal legal advisor."
"Why?"
Seeing that Maya wanted to explain, Li Zhenyu raised his hand and said: "I mean, why should I hire you."
No wasting time beating around the bush, what does Claire know, what are the benefits to herself, her reasons and purposes.
None of these are the focus of his attention. There is only one thing he cares about: What is her value?
Maya took a deep breath and said: "If I serve as your legal advisor, I will save you US$20 million in expenses."
“What risks do I need to take?”
"No, I have it documented if you need details."
Maya opened her handbag, took out a document and handed it to him.
After taking the document, Li Zhenyu did not read it.
He is not very interested in many legal clauses and convoluted word games.
Furthermore, he does not study law.
If it were traps and problems that a layman like him could see, it would be impossible to get approval.
And looking at those things that he can't see is a waste of time.
"How long will it take for me to confirm that what you said is true?"
A new lawyer wants to reach the top in one step and come to him with the top salary package.
Then the price she needs to pay should be more than ordinary people.
"1 month."
"15 days, 20 million US dollars... If you do it, call me, your salary will be better than Claire's."
The waiter brought the coffee, and Li Zhenyu stood up to leave at the same time, "There is no need to call after the time. I think you can get my number."
Smiling slightly, Li Zhenyu nodded and said: "Looking forward to meeting you next time, Ms. Maya."
Looking at his back as he left, Maya worried about gain and loss for a moment.
She got the admission ticket, but the difficulty of the test questions was indeed hellish.
How to obtain tax credits for him through various approvals within 15 days is the top priority for Maya at the moment.
As for why Maya mentioned it, Claire Wogan didn't mention a word.
Because strictly speaking, this is the job of a tax accountant, and Claire's business does not include this item.
Moreover, doing so would damage the reputation of the law firm.
Taking all things into account, there is no need for Claire to ask for trouble. Li Zhenyu did not pay her tax avoidance money.
But for Maya, it is a shortcut that can help her reach the sky in one step.
Right now, Maya needs money.
Leaving a small surprise for himself, Li Zhenyu received a call from Claire: "BOSS, are you ready?"
The senior management of Random House was already waiting for him in the conference room.
The number of published copies of "Fifty Shades of Grey" has reached 4 million, a number that far exceeded Langdon's prediction.
At the same time, it also increased Langdon's attention to him, a newcomer, to the same treatment as an established best-selling author.
Of course, some people are dissatisfied with this.
I think he is just a flash in the pan and will not become a long-lasting output writer.
However, this protest seemed a bit muted due to the soaring sales of "Fifty Shades of Grey".
"Claire."
Seeing Claire, who was still charming and cheerful, Li Zhenyu stepped forward and hugged her.
"BOSS, every time I see you, I feel like I should be 10 years younger... No, I should be 20 years old."
If he were 20 years younger, Claire would definitely pursue him
Even if it's just a night of passion, it will definitely leave you with unforgettable memories of your youth.
"Thanks."
"Please come this way. You can leave now."
Claire pointed to the big G on the roadside, which she rented specially to match Li Zhenyu's figure.
At this point, Claire's arrangements were very careful.
He opened the door first and asked her to get in the car first. Claire was moved and thanked her: "BOSS, you are such an elegant gentleman."
Li Zhenyu responded with a smile and got into the car.
Not far away, under the hotel column, the paparazzi carrying a travel bag put down the camera in his hand.
"Wow, he is indeed the pride of the Korean nation. He is truly an elegant gentleman."
The paparazzi has already thought of the title of the press release, which is called 'South Korean gentlemen traveling around the world...'
This time, I will definitely get the year-end bonus, Fei Ting!
"BOSS, this meeting with Langdon is to find out whether you have any follow-up creative plans. If you have any drafts or ideas, you can come up with them and I will get the best conditions for you."
"Pre-signing, are the conditions the same?"
"We can talk about everything. This is the purpose of today's meeting."
Claire made it very clear that the core significance of this meeting was to learn about his next creative plan.
Secondly, I just want to have more contact with him, meet him and get to know each other better.
All other conditions are negotiable.
Of course, Langdon would also understand if Li Zhenyu had no creative plans for the time being.
After all, a copy of "Fifty Shades of Grey" has already made them a lot of money.
But the next time we meet, can I get top-notch treatment and be valued and favored by Langdon?
No one can guarantee this.
"Oh, it just so happens that I have some ideas here. What a coincidence."
Li Zhenyu's confident performance gave Claire a little more confidence for the upcoming meeting.
At the same time, in the reception conference room of Random House.
The five senior executives are also discussing how to start the meeting later.
How will the other party behave and what questions will they ask?
If he has a creative plan that is satisfactory, how should we express sincerity.
On the contrary, please maintain due etiquette among everyone present and avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
"If anyone has any objections, they can withdraw now."
As the CEO of the parent company, the editor-in-chief personally appointed by Marcus Dolemont is a senior editor in the publishing circle of China.
Madeleine McIntosh's authority within the company is unmatched.
She vaccinated everyone in advance, and the editors, distributors, and publishers present expressed their approval.
At the same time, put aside all your petty thoughts.
In any case, the miracles he created are still happening. At least at this time, no one should let personal feelings affect the business.
To be continued...
