What Comes Around Goes Around
Chapter 8
Cheng Yao walked over and handed the materials to Bai Xingmeng. She was so shocked that she simply forgot how she was shocked.
Until Qian Heng's voice pulled her back to reality.
"According to the materials you provided, there are also recordings. At present, I have a few detailed information that I need to confirm with you."
"Your ex-husband Xu Jun founded Junchi Pictures on March 18, 2017 after returning to China, but the two of you did not officially register your marriage with the domestic civil affairs department until April 5, 2017."
"Yes, that's it."
"Well, then Junchi Pictures belongs to Xu Jun's pre-marital property."
"But we registered to get married in Las Vegas on March 2, 2017. Jun Chi is a wedding gift given to me by Xu Jun to celebrate our marriage." Bai Xingmeng was puzzled, "We are here. A foreign-related registration of marriage in a foreign country, as long as it complies with the domestic "Marriage Law", the two parties are single, age-qualified, and there is no prohibition of marriage. Isn't the state recognized? Besides, we also held the wedding in Las Vegas secretly Although I don’t know it in China, I have recorded the video and provided the information to you."
Qian Heng smiled and said: "After registering a marriage abroad, it is not assumed that it will be valid as long as it conforms to the Marriage Law. If you want the marriage status registered abroad to be valid for use in China, the local government must issue a certificate and then apply for the Secretary of State certification. , Go to the local Chinese embassy and consulate for certification, only after certification, is it legal and valid. You just register your marriage in Las Vegas, even if the wedding is held, as long as you do not apply for certification, it will not be recognized in China."
Bai Xingmeng lowered his head, his expression hidden in the shadows, a little unrealistic: "Is it possible that Xu Jun has lived in the United States for more than ten years without knowing this?"
"Yep."
"So he is really a calculation." Bai Xingmeng raised his head and smiled a little sadly, "Before he met me, he had no connections in the film and television circles at all. After marriage, because Junchi Pictures is like the crystallization of our love, I have always wanted this company to gain a firm foothold in the film and television industry. Overtly and secretly, using my own contacts, how much investment has been made to Junchi, how many projects have been matched and promoted, and even after the production, the announcement of the film and television series, I was cheeky to find someone on my own favor... It turns out that all this has nothing to do with me."
...
For Bai Xingmeng’s confession, Cheng Yao, as a girl, was very sympathetic. A love and marriage passed away, only to find that all the sweet words were devastated calculations? Who can take it easy?
However, Qian Heng was not moved at all about this. He sternly interrupted Bai Xingmeng's memories in a cold manner.
"Need me to remind you of my hourly charge?"
"..."
Bai Xingmeng was stunned, and the agent who came with her subconsciously said: "It doesn't matter, we will pay for these times."
"Money is valuable, my time is priceless."
Qian Heng said coldly: "Emotions are the most useless thing. Xu Jun deceived you. There is no point in condemning him from a moral level. You have all the sympathy, and you can't change any facts."
Cheng Yao shivered, her boss, straight male cancer is already dying...Bai Xingmeng, a beauty like Pear Flower, cried in front of her with rain, but she was indifferent and even gave people a lesson...
"Now, what I need is for you to focus on the case and extract useful information so that we can find out his hidden property in a direction." Qian Heng's posture was cold and noble, but what he said was reasonable. Cheng Yao had no way to argue.
"I know you are not reconciled. You want him to pay the price. Since what he loves most is his career, his money, and his company, then we will let him bleed from this level."
Bai Xingmeng was awakened by Qian Hengdian. She nodded and finally put away the self-pity gesture of Gu Ying just now, and started to answer Qian Heng's question in a focused and cooperative manner.
——
After a one-hour meeting, there was no small talk at all in the second half of the meeting. Qian Heng took out the list of questions Bao Rui had prepared for him, and straightened out the details of the marriage involved in the property. Yao only had time to keep writing in her notebook.
It has to be said that although Qian Heng's behavior is very hot-eyed, once switched to work mode, he is really professional to almost perfect.
Although he is a popular star with a certain reputation, even if Bai Xingmeng was trained by Qian Heng a few words, he was not moved. Even after the meeting, he instructed his agent to negotiate long-term legal counsel cooperation with Qian Heng.
In response, Cheng Yao was stunned: "Is Bai Xingmeng prone to abuse? I thought you just said that she was going to terminate the contract with us and change the lawyer. After all, she is a star that is held by thousands of people on weekdays!"
Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao and said proudly: "When you become irreplaceable in a certain field, no matter how bad your attitude is, as long as your professional skills are unmatched, only others will adapt. Your share."
It turns out that you also know that your attitude is poor... Cheng Yao feels a little comforted, it seems that Qian Heng is self-aware.
"But in fact, it was quite witty that you saved her from self-defeating naturally just now."
Qian Heng raised his eyebrows: "When did I save her?"
"Just now I taught her not to be immersed in the feelings of failure, but to stand up and fight and provide more information so that we can fight for more division of her property!"
Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao strangely: "You think too much. I trained her so purely because of myself."
Cheng Yao:?
"I signed a risk agency with her. Therefore, the outcome of the case is directly related to my income." Qian Heng pursed his lips. "I only care about my own money. I don't care whether she cheers up or not. Destroy yourself, I will jump into the river or cut my wrists in the future. Understand?"
"..."
"Keep away from your client and get closer to the case. In the end, you will find that both the client and you are good."
"So what is the ratio of risk agents?"
"For the portion within 50 million yuan, 12% shall be paid attorney fees; for the portion above 50 million yuan, 20% shall be paid."
Risk agency means that the lawyer does not charge a fixed agency fee, but in accordance with the negotiated ratio, according to the final amount of the property bid for the client, the agency fee is charged. Of course, in order to guarantee the income from droughts and floods, lawyers can use part of the risk agency. , That is, the client is required to pay a fixed amount of attorney fees in advance, and then charge proportionally based on the outcome of the case.
Under this model, whether it is part of the risk agency or the entire risk agency, the enthusiasm of lawyers can be stimulated the most, because the greater the property that can be obtained for the client, the more lawyers’ fees will be charged; but if you encounter If the lawsuit is lost or the execution is not possible, the lawyer will not receive a reward. It is precisely because of this risk that the name of risk agency comes from.
"Wait!" Cheng Yao thought of something, "Marriage cases are not related to personal relationships, so risk agency is not allowed? I have seen that the use of risk agency is finally sued by the parties and the agreement is invalid..."
"The property can be divided again after divorce." Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao disapprovingly. "The original intention of prohibiting risk agency in marriage cases is to be afraid of the profit-seeking nature of lawyers, in order to divide more property and obtain more. The agency fees of the parties have become an obstacle to the mediation and reconciliation of the parties.” Qian Heng pursed his lips. “But in the case of Li Yan, the relationship between the parties has broken down and divorced. After the divorce, they realized that the other party might have hidden property. Possibly, there is no possibility of mediation and reconciliation. The focus of the dispute is also completely on the division of property, which has nothing to do with personal relationships. Considering that the collection of evidence and enforcement of joint property is very difficult, a lot of work is required by lawyers. In the case of consensus, risk agency can be used to extract a certain percentage of the property returned from execution as remuneration, which is very reasonable."
Cheng Yao suddenly realized that it was so!
"Moreover, the current trend is to gradually liberalize risk agency in marriage cases, and Guangdong Province has directly liberalized it."
"No matter what industry, I am not afraid of encountering someone who is completely ignorant, and I am most afraid of meeting someone like you." Qian Heng glanced at his watch. "Just explaining these common sense to you will waste ten minutes of my precious life."
"I……"
"Stop." Qian Heng stopped Cheng Yao's words. "From now on, do me a favor. Don't ask me these stupid questions anymore, and ask you to deduct your salary."
"..."
"Bao Rui's leg wound worsened this afternoon. His investigation of Xu Jun's business situation has not been completed yet. You can continue. When I go to work tomorrow, I will see a clear and feasible investigation direction."
"Hey? Good!"
After Cheng Yao answered, she continued to subconsciously wait for Qian Heng's next order.
Qian Heng lowered his head and flipped through the documents, only to realize that there was Cheng Yao in the office. He did not lift his head, but waved his hand towards Cheng Yao: "It's okay, kneel."
"..."
Cheng Yao feels that Suxiao Jiuxin Pills may not be able to save herself anymore. The boss is too toxic, and she feels almost suffocated...
——
Throughout the afternoon, Cheng Yao continued to study on the basis of the materials compiled by Bao Rui. Xu Jun’s corporate structure is very large and complex. It took a lot of time for her to finally draw a table of holding relations. Where to investigate his hidden property, Cheng Yao is still at a loss.
In the corporate network structure of Tuan Tuan Online, there are indeed affiliated companies and subsidiaries that were established during the marriage. However, first of all, these companies are too messy, and these companies either have limited profits or directly lose money, so As a result, in the previous divorce proceedings, Bai Xingmeng only got very little property division.
Cheng Yao ran to several industrial and commercial bureaus with the letter of introduction issued by the law firm, and transferred the internal files of several companies under Xu Jun's name, including Tuantuan Online. In fact, the matter of retrieving files has no technical content. It is just a job of running errands, especially in this November. The past few days have caught up with the miserable winds and rains. Cheng Yao goes in the wind and rain every day, and is neat when he goes to work. The suit was scrapped soon, and the legs of the trousers were muddy and watery, and a face was blown out with two frostbite "plateau red".
It’s just a pity that even if Cheng Yao is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, how can Xu Jun leave such a conspicuous handle to a man like Xu Jun who has calculated his marriage time. Naturally, no clues can be found in the industrial and commercial files, but Cheng Yao has a cold. Had a fever.
However, Qian Heng's words stimulated Cheng Yao's fighting spirit to some extent. When she returned home that night, she groaned her nose while studying in the room.
It's a pity that she has been studying for a long time, but still has no thoughts. At this moment, Qian Heng, who worked overtime in her office, opened the door and returned.
Cheng Yao thought for a while, and decided that the person who knew the current affairs was a Junjie, and turned to Qian Heng, who had opened the same foreign aid.
"boss……"
"No way."
"..."
Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao: "Don't ask me your stupid questions."
"..."
Cheng Yao choked, struggling, "I just want to ask..."
"You said it yourself. Here, we are just sharing roommates, not during working hours. Please don't ask me about my work."
"But you take care of me and cherish the month you shared with you, so I think..."
Qian Heng raised his eyebrows: "Which of us is the boss?"
"You."
"That's my final say. Now, turn around and go back to the room."
"..."
"Wait." Qian Heng said blankly. "In addition, I stayed up to two o'clock last night for the case, so now, I will go back to my room to sleep. Please keep absolutely quiet."
Okay boss, who calls you the boss, but you can pray hard and don't fall into my hands one day! ! !
