Chapter 255: 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, and waiting for the waiter to leave, Li Zhenyu said straight to the point: "Did Claire ask you to come? What happened to the law? Question?"
"No." The fingers were crossed, showing that Maya was very confused.
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 want to be your personal legal advisor."
"Why?"
Seeing Maya want to explain, Li Zhenyu raised his hand and said: "I mean, why should I hire you."
There was no wasting time by beating around the bush, what about Claire? Know what's in it for her, her reasons and purpose.
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 20 million US dollars."
"What risks do I need to take?"
"No, if you need details, I have Make it a document."
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 did not study law.
If it were traps and problems that a layman like him could see, it would be impossible to get approval.
And for those things that he couldn't see, it was a waste of time to look at them.
"How long will it take for me to confirm that what you said is true?"
A new lawyer wanted to reach the top in one step and get the top salary.
Then the price she needs to pay should be more than ordinary people.
"One 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, "More than There is no need to call when the time comes. I think you can get my number."
With a slight smile, Li Zhenyu nodded and said: "Looking forward to meeting you next time, Ms. Maya."
Looking at his back, Maya left. Worrying 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 it was Maya who brought it up, Claire Wogan said nothing.
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 consideration, 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 raised Langdon's attention to him as a newcomer to the same level 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 little quiet 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 that I should be 10 years younger... no, 20 years old."
If she were 20 years younger, Claire would definitely pursue him,
even if it was just for a night of passion, she would definitely do it for him. Leave unforgettable memories of your youth.
"Thank you."
"Please come over here. 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 him: "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 such 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, he will definitely win the year-end award. Bonus, Feiting!
"BOSS, this meeting with Langdon is to find out whether you have any follow-up creative plans. If you have any drafts or ideas, please 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 clear that the core meaning of this meeting is 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.
The rest of the 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.
Meanwhile, in the Random House reception room.
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 can we express sincerity.
On the contrary, please maintain due etiquette and avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
"If anyone has any objections, they can withdraw now."
As the CEO of the parent company, Marcus Dulemont is the personally appointed editor-in-chief and a senior editor in the publishing circle of China.
Madeleine McIntosh's authority within the company was 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.
Otherwise, you are making an enemy of the entire Langdon, the parent company behind it, Bertelsmann.
"Editor Madeline, they're here."
The assistant opened the door and told everyone that Li Zhenyu was already there.
"Invite them in."
He stood up and smoothed out his wrinkled skirt. Everyone looked at the door with warm smiles. His handsome and tough face left a deep impression on everyone as soon as he entered the door.
Oh,
what a handsome boy, if only book fans could see him.
FK, his book will sell like crazy...
"Jin-wooLee, my boss, is also the creator of Fifty Shades of Grey, Lz."
Several people looked at each other, thinking the same thing.
Kellyn was right, he was indeed a charmingly handsome young man.
They should have arranged this meeting sooner so they could have convinced him to do a national signing.
By then, with his handsome appearance and strong figure.
Looking down, several men noticed the outline of his abdominal muscles that were inadvertently exposed as he moved forward.
At this moment, they were even more jealous.
"Lee, please take a seat."
Madeleine McIntosh smiled and interrupted the thoughts of others.
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Madeleine, we finally meet."
Last time, when Li Zhenyu came to sign a contract, he was not qualified to be received by this editor-in-chief, who has a huge influence in the publishing industry in China.
Now, the other party has begun to expect that the two sides can carry out more cooperation in multiple fields.
