Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Xu Huanshan nodded and got into the car, no longer hesitating. In the past, no matter what problems he encountered, he always let Gu Jia take care of them. This time, he finally made the decision himself.

At this time, Zhong Xiaoqin sent a message to Xu Huanshan's mobile phone: "Xu Huanshan, Gu Jia asked me to give you a piece of advice. Blue fireworks are too dangerous and require a very high storage environment. Last time I went there, an employee secretly smoked. So, the factory director, Lao Yan, is not that responsible at all. You'd better take care of yourself.

The incident with Shen Jie has just passed. You should think about it yourself. If any safety accident happens, you, the legal person of the company, will be the one who suffers in the end. You can't be too casual in doing business, nor can you be too impatient for success.

Gu Jia suffered a big setback in the tea factory incident and is now in debt of millions. I hope you can see the facts clearly and not be flattered by the little girl and think that you are an admired designer or a so-called artist.

A fireworks factory is not like a tea factory. If something happens to Gu Jia, the worst that can happen is bankruptcy and debt. If something happens to you, you will either die or get injured. Don't take chances, and don't do anything beyond your ability.

The reason I sent you this message is because you are Ziyan's father. If something really happens to you, Lin Youyou can go back to Kyoto, but you will go to jail, and Ziyan's future will be cut off."

After reading the message, Lin Youyou complained angrily, "It's already this late, and you're still giving you orders. It's true that she has put a lot of effort into the company, but without an excellent designer like you, the Fireworks Company wouldn't have developed to where it is today.

I just want to know, what do you really mean to her? Are you her accessory, or her eternal supporting role? "

Hearing Lin Youyou's words, Xu Huanshan's male chauvinism was aroused, and he also complained: "No need to reply, she has been used to looking at me out of the corner of her eyes for so many years, always so condescending, and I didn't even dare to hope to look me in the eye before.

Moreover, over the years, no matter if it was finance or other matters, whenever there was any major decision, Gu Jia would sign first before letting me sign. Did she really think I didn't know?

I just don't want to bother with these trivial matters. In my opinion, I'd rather spend that time designing more pictures."

Seeing Xu Huanshan's excitement, Lin Youyou, having achieved her goal, hugged his arm like a little bird and said:

"Exactly, how could she not see your greatness? I think she's just too controlling. From big things like the company's development and the children's education to small things like whether you want to eat dinner or what to wear, she makes all the decisions. It's really excessive.

You are the head of this family, the pillar of the family, and not her son. You really can't understand her thoughts.

But now think about it, it's really not worth it for you to be sad for such a woman, a person who can't understand you, it's not worth it..."

"Okay, youyou!" Seeing that Lin Youyou wanted to say something, Xu Huanshan interrupted her and stopped her:

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Now that things have come to this, let's just part ways amicably. She can go her way, and we can go our way. After all, we still have our son, Ziyan!"

"Well, I'll listen to you. From now on, as long as you don't mention it, I will never say these things. But don't worry, even if we have our own children, I will love Ziyan as much as I love them, because I love you.

In my heart, you are like Buzz Lightyear, you are like the blue fireworks above the castle that day. To others, you are just fleeting, but to me, you are everything, a god that I will never forget.

As he spoke, Lin Youyou's hands covered Xu Huanshan's big hands. This affectionate confession made Xu Huanshan forget his disappointment, and his backhand clasped with Lin Youyou's white and tender little hands.

...........................

Soon the car stopped at the parking lot of Grand Hyatt Mansion. Xu Huanshan did not go home directly, but went upstairs after having breakfast with Lin Youyou.

Especially when he learned from the property management that Gu Jia had already moved her things away, Xu Huanshan no longer had any worries and took Lin Youyou back to 1201 without any scruples.

This is the first time Lin Youyou has walked into the former home of Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia, so looking at the well-decorated and elegantly furnished house, he sighed a little:

"Huanshan, it's such a shame to sell such a nice house!"

“What else can I do if I don’t sell it?”

Xu Huanshan looked around the house, which no longer had the warmth it once had, so he shook his head and continued:

"This house has already been mortgaged twice. I can't give all the company's liquid funds to Gu Jia to pay the other half of the payment, right?"

"Of course not. The fireworks company is your business and the place where your dreams are carried out. I just think this house is so good that I think it's okay to sell it."

"Once we make the fireworks company bigger and stronger, we'll buy a new one that's better than this one, and then you can decorate it to your liking!"

"Yes, we will definitely buy a better one, I believe you!"

After looking at Xu Huanshan with eyes full of admiration, Lin Youyou rolled her eyes and hugged Xu Huanshan's arm and said coquettishly:

"Uncle, you don't live here anymore, and I don't want to work in the property management anymore. Can you arrange for me to work as your secretary in the company?

This way, I can learn more from you about how to manage a company, and I can also help you share some of the work in the future, so that you don’t have to manage the company and design the blueprints at the same time, which is too tiring.”

"Let's talk about this later. Everyone in the company was hired by Gu Jia, and you just got divorced. Let me sort things out. By then, you'll be the boss's wife, so why would you still be a secretary?"

"what………"

When Lin Youyou heard Xu Huanshan's answer, she yelled, hugged his neck, kissed him and said, "I love you so much, then it's a deal, don't regret it!"

"Of course I won't regret it, but you have to work harder and give me a son soon, so I can explain to my parents when the time comes!"

"No, I'm still young and don't want to have a baby so soon. Can you wait two years? In two years, I will definitely give birth to a son, no...a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, okay?"

"That's not up to you..."

After saying that, Xu Huanshan locked the door, then picked up Lin Youyou by the waist and walked towards the bedroom.

Lin Youyou hooked Xu Huanshan's neck with one hand, pushed his chest a few times with both hands, then lay down next to his ear and exhaled softly:

"Hurry up and let me down. It's still daytime, and I haven't resigned yet, so I only took half a day off today and I still have to go back to work!"

"You'll be the boss lady of a fireworks company in the future. Why would you want to work such a crappy job? Having a son is your top priority right now!"

"No, we're not married yet, so I... well... really have to go to work... well..."

Without waiting for Lin Youyou to finish speaking, Xu Huanshan kissed her directly, blocking her from saying anything.

After Lin Youyou's resistance failed, she let him throw her delicate body onto the bed, and put on an appearance of being at the mercy of him.

Xu Huanshan leaned forward and released all the depression and frustration he had felt over the years on the bed that had once been his and Gu Jia's.

And it was with this young and energetic girl that Xu Huanshan felt like a real man.

Lin Youyou looked at Xu Huanshan with charming and blurred eyes, her gaze still full of admiration and adoration, and she praised his abilities from time to time.

These are things that Xu Huanshan cannot experience from his smart and intelligent wife Gu Jia, so Lin Youyou's performance greatly satisfies Xu Huanshan's vanity, and he becomes more and more courageous.

Chapter 647: Lian Chuang Case Trial (1)

In the Shanghai Magic City, at the Mingtang Law Firm in Lujiazui, Han Tao sat steadily in the director's office. After reading the latest information provided by Zhou Yanan, he stood up, sorted out all the information, put it into a file bag, and put it in his suitcase.

"Dong dong dong..."

At this time, Qin Shi knocked on the door, then walked in, looked at Han Tao and said, "Boss, the car has been arranged. Lawyer Chen said she will go there early. We can set off now!"

"Okay, let's go!"

After saying that, Han Tao handed the box to Guan Xiaofan who was waiting outside. The three of them went downstairs, took a car, and went directly to the court. Chen Ran had already brought the client to the court and was waiting.

This time, the defense team for Lianchuang Group was filled with lawyers from Chengtai Law Firm, led by Director Huang Yaoqing. He and Han Tao exchanged a glance, and both of them had a confident look in their eyes, obviously having made sufficient preparations.

"stand up!

After everything was ready, the trial began, and the bailiffs, clerks, prosecutors, etc. took their seats in a tense and orderly manner.

The judge and jury were all in place. The presiding judge took up his hammer and banged it, saying, "Court is in session. The plaintiff will make his statement!"

Han Tao took the microphone, tested his voice, and said, "Okay, your Honor. I'm Han Tao, the plaintiff's attorney. According to the evidence provided by the defendant, Chen Wenguang, the legal advisor of Lianchuang Group, received 2000 million yuan in funds that were transferred into an account registered overseas in 95.

According to our understanding, during that period when regulations were less stringent, anyone with personal identification could register an overseas account, and many trading companies opened accounts in this manner. Therefore, this does not directly prove that Chen Wenguang and Li Yi were the masterminds.

After Han Tao finished his statement, the presiding judge nodded and turned to Huang Yaoqing's side, continuing, "Defendant's attorney, if you have any objections, you may file a complaint!"

"Good Judge!"

Huang Yaoqing took out the documents, stood up and said, "I have no objection to the objectivity of this matter, but I do have opinions on its key points. Li Yi mentioned in his self-declared testimony that he bribed Chen Wenguang in order to promote the smooth listing of financial products and obtain Chen Wenguang's approval.

Therefore, Li Yi's actions were entirely personal, and therefore, Lianchuang Group should not be held responsible for the plaintiff's claims."

Huang Yaoqing's defense strategy is very clear, which is to put the blame on Li Yi and Chen Wenguang. This is also the strategy of Lianchuang Group to cut off its arms to survive. At this time, it can only sacrifice the car to save the king.

In this way, Lianchuang Group and its chairman Luo Runnian can shift the responsibility to Li Yi, who is willing to sacrifice, and Chen Wenguang, the scapegoat. After all, one of them was once the general manager of Lianchuang Group, and the other was the chief legal adviser, so they have enough weight.

Seeing that the other party wanted to minimize the losses, Han Tao sneered inwardly, took out a document, stood up and said:

"Your Honor, I disagree with the opposing counsel's argument. Chen Wenguang's overseas accounts haven't been touched in over a decade, not even a single transaction. Suddenly, when Lianchuang Group launched a new project, and when problems arose, he transferred large sums of money into them in installments. Could it be that he was preparing to accept bribes more than a decade ago?"

There are many unreasonable aspects in this. To this end, we have collected evidence from many sources and obtained a lot of information. Please see our evidence below.

"The plaintiff can provide evidence!"

With the presiding judge's approval, Han Tao opened the video footage and continued, "When Li Yi was serving as the general manager of the business development department at Lianchuang Group, Chen Wenguang wasn't the chief legal advisor at Lianchuang Group. It wasn't until Li Yi resigned that Chen Wenguang took over all of Lianchuang's legal work. The two had little interaction.

After leaving his job, Li Yi opened several offshore companies of his own. Our investigation revealed that all of his offshore companies were shell companies used for tax avoidance, so Li Yi was not qualified to apply for financial management channels.

"We agree with the questions raised by the plaintiff's lawyer, but Li Yi's company is a personal act. Even if it is illegal fundraising, it has nothing to do with Lian Chuang Company.

As for the relationship between Chen Wenguang and Li Yi, only the parties involved know. Although they had no intersection at Lianchuang Company, they could have been in contact through other channels.

Huang Yaoqing had obviously made preparations long ago. After all, the information and evidence that Han Tao produced at this time could basically be found by anyone with the ability, and he had already made a contingency plan.

Therefore, as long as it can be proved that Li Yi and Chen Wenguang's actions were personal and had nothing to do with Lianchuang Group, then Han Tao would not be able to do anything to them no matter how strong his connections were.

Han Tao was of course aware of this, otherwise he wouldn't have made so many arrangements, so he directly refuted:

"Whether Li Yi has any connection with Lianchuang Group is not up to you to decide, nor can we draw a conclusion based on our one-sided statement. We still need to see the evidence."

After that, Han Tao produced another piece of evidence and, with the presiding judge's approval, continued:

"Li Yi registered three offshore companies: Haomen Holdings, Dingjia Mucai Holdings, and YAF, all of which have now been deregistered.

During this period, the three companies transferred a sum of money to TW Company in eight installments, and this company transferred US$3.15 million to Chen Wenguang's account in 1995 in thirteen installments, which is worth about 20 million yuan.

The majority of this Taiwan company's funding comes from three other companies, all of which are mere shell companies with no real operations. Therefore, Li Yi is merely a puppet of the Lianchuang Group.

Huang Yaoqing immediately stood up and said, "Objection! Please ask the plaintiff's lawyer to provide evidence related to this case. These are Li Yi's personal actions and cannot prove anything, let alone prove that he has any connection with Lianchuang Group."

The presiding judge nodded, looked at Han Tao and asked again, "Does the plaintiff have any further evidence to provide?"

"Yes!" Han Tao stood up and produced another piece of evidence, responding, "This evidence in my hand proves that a large portion of the funds for Lianchuang Group's financial projects passed through these three companies and was ultimately remitted to TW Company. This shows that Li Yi is closely connected to Lianchuang Group. He is the scapegoat used by Lianchuang Group."

Huang Yaoqing didn't wait for the presiding judge to speak before retorting, "I object to the plaintiff's attorney's statement. This only proves that Lianchuang Group and Li Yi's company have cooperative dealings, and it doesn't prove anything else."

In fact, Huang Yaoqing was already a little panicked at this time. He never expected that Han Tao would conduct such an in-depth investigation. Judging from the evidence, this was entirely a gesture to obtain more powerful evidence.

Sure enough, Han Tao didn't continue to argue with Huang Yaoqing. Instead, he said directly to the presiding judge, "Your Honor, I have another piece of evidence here, but before I present it, I would like to request the appearance of a witness."

The presiding judge looked at the evidence presented by Han Tao and nodded: "I agree with the plaintiff's request. Witness Li Yi can appear in court."

As the presiding judge finished speaking, Li Yi walked into the courtroom step by step in handcuffs, led by two staff members, and then stood in the witness stand.

..............................

Chapter 648: Lian Chuang Case Trial (2)

In the solemn and dignified courtroom, the presiding judge's gestures were neither hurried nor slow, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

After Li Yi took his seat, the presiding judge continued, "Witnesses appear in court. Does the plaintiff have any questions? If not, please present your evidence."

Han Tao nodded and, at the presiding judge's signal, continued, "Your Honor, this evidence involves many companies and individuals who have no connection to this case, so I'd like to have the witness review the materials individually."

After that, Han Tao provided the court with a complete copy of the evidence. After reviewing the materials, the presiding judge and the jury exchanged opinions before agreeing:

"The plaintiff can present evidence and question witnesses."

After receiving approval, Han Tao directly asked, "Excuse me, witness, do you have any impression of the content of the information in front of you?"

Looking at this top-secret document, Li Yi felt a little flustered, but still answered with a stiff upper lip: "No!"

Han Tao looked at him and continued, "These funds were from multiple project accounts under the Lianchuang Group and were transferred into the accounts of the shell company you own. Why do you, the legal representative, say you have no recollection of this?"

Li Yi bravely looked at Han Tao and said, "It's been too long, I forgot!"

Han Tao sneered inwardly and pulled out another piece of evidence, saying, "Then you don't remember any of this anymore? These are all financial transactions related to Lian Chuang. Excuse me, witness, do you not remember all the items in this document?"

"I really forgot. I don't have a good memory."

Seeing Li Yi acting like a rogue, Han Tao pressed on, "Did you forget or don't know? These accounts are all stamped with the official seal. As the boss, do you really have no recollection of them?"

In that case, let me change the question. Are the three offshore companies mentioned in this document registered by you?

"Yes."

"Then, was the $3.15 million transferred to Chen Wenguang transferred through these three companies to TW Holdings, and then transferred to Chen Wenguang through TW Holdings?"

Hearing this question, Li Yi nodded with sweat on his head and said, "Yes!"

Han Tao continued to ask, "Did half of the capital flow of these three companies come from Lianchuang Group?"

"…………"

This question almost made Li Yi answer yes subconsciously, but he reacted instantly before blurting out the answer, so he kept silent.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell there was something wrong, so the presiding judge said righteously, "Please ask the witness to answer the question."

"I do not know."

"As the legal representative of these companies, how could you not know?"
