Cheng Yao walked over with hands and feet and handed the materials to Bai Xingmeng. She was so shocked that she simply forgot how to express her shock.

Until Qian Heng's voice brought her back to reality.

"According to the materials and recordings you provided, there are a few details that I need to confirm with you."

"Your ex-husband Xu Jun founded Junchi Films 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 right."

"Well, then Jun Chi Pictures belongs to Xu Jun's pre-marital property."

"But we registered our marriage in Las Vegas on March 2, 2017. Junchi is a wedding gift that Xu Jun said to celebrate our marriage." Bai Xingmeng was puzzled, "Our This kind of foreign-related registration of marriage abroad, as long as it complies with the domestic "Marriage Law", the two parties are single, the age is qualified, and there is no circumstance that prohibits marriage, isn't the country recognized? What's more, we held a secret wedding in Las Vegas. Although I don’t know about it in China, I have recorded videos and provided the information to you.”

Qian Heng smiled: "It is not taken for granted that marriage registration in a foreign country is valid as long as it complies with the Marriage Law. If the marriage status registered abroad is valid and used in China, the local government must issue a certificate, and then apply for the Secretary of State certification. , Go to the Chinese embassy or consulate in the local area for certification. Only after certification is it legal and valid. You just registered for marriage in Las Vegas. Even if the wedding is held, as long as you don’t go through certification, it will not be recognized in China.”

Bai Xingmeng lowered her head, her expression was hidden in the shadows, she couldn't see it clearly: "Is it possible that a person like Xu Jun who has lived in the United States for more than ten years does not know this?"

"kindness."

"So he really was scheming." Bai Xingmeng raised his head, smiling a little sadly, "Before he met me, he didn't have any contacts in the film and television industry at all. After marriage, because Junchi Films 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, I used my own contacts to attract much investment in Junchi, how many projects were facilitated by matchmaking, and even the announcement of the film and television drama after production. I had the audacity to rely on my own favors to find someone... It turns out that all of this has nothing to do with me."

For Bai Xingmeng's confession, as a girl, Cheng Yao sympathized very much. After a love and marriage passed away, she found that behind all the sweet words back then were devastated schemes? May I ask who can be indifferent

However, Qian Heng was not moved at all by this. With a straight face, he interrupted Bai Xingmeng's memory coldly.

"Need I remind you of my hourly rate?"

"..."

Bai Xingmeng was stunned, and the agent who came with her subconsciously said: "It's okay, we will pay for these hours."

"Money is valuable, my time is priceless."

Qian Heng said coldly: "Feelings are the most useless thing. Xu Jun deceived you. It is meaningless to condemn him from a moral perspective. You have received all the sympathy, and you can't change any facts."

Cheng Yao was trembling, her boss, the straight male cancer is already terminally ill... Bai Xingmeng, a beauty like Lihua, cried in front of her eyes, but she was indifferent, and even gave him a scolding...

"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 is cold and noble, but his words are reasonable, which makes people Cheng Yao was completely unable 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 a lot from this level."

Bai Xingmeng seemed to be awakened by Qian Heng, she nodded, and finally put away the self-pitying gesture just now, and began to answer Qian Heng's question with concentration and cooperation.

In the second half of a one-hour meeting, there was no small talk at all. Qian Heng took out the list of questions that Bao Rui had prepared for him a long time ago, and straightened out the details of the property involved in this marriage one by one. Yao only had time to keep memorizing it in her notebook.

I have to say that although Qian Heng's behavior is quite eye-catching on weekdays, once he switches to work mode, he is really professional and almost perfect.

Although as a popular star with a certain status, Bai Xingmeng was not angry even after being reprimanded by Qian Heng. Even after the meeting, she instructed her agent to negotiate long-term legal counsel cooperation with Qian Heng.

Cheng Yao was stunned by this: "Does Bai Xingmeng have a tendency to be abused? I thought you said that about her just now, she is going to terminate the contract with us and change to a lawyer. After all, she is a star that is admired 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 invincible, then only others can adapt." Your share."

It turns out that you also know that you have a bad attitude... Cheng Yao felt a little relieved, it seems that Qian Heng still has self-knowledge.

"But in fact, you were quite clever in saving her from self-abandonment in such a natural way just now."

Qian Heng raised his eyebrows: "When did I save her?"

"Just taught her not to be immersed in the feelings of failure, but to stand up and fight. Provide more information so that we can fight for more property division for her!"

Qian Heng gave Cheng Yao a strange look: "You think too much, I trained her that way 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, and I don't care whether she cheers up or not, right? Give up on yourself, you will jump into the river or cut your wrists in the future. Understand?"

"..."

"Stay away from your client and get closer to the case. You will eventually find that it is beneficial to both the client and yourself."

"So what is the ratio of the risky agent?"

"If you get less than 50 million yuan, you will pay 12% of the lawyer's fees; if you get more than 50 million yuan, you will pay 20%."

Risk agency means that the lawyer does not charge a fixed agency fee, but charges an agency fee according to the negotiated ratio and according to the amount of the property target that the client finally won. Of course, in order to ensure the income from drought and flood, the lawyer can take part of the risk agency , that is, the client is required to pay a fixed portion of the attorney's fee in advance, and then the fee will be charged proportionally according to the outcome of the case.

In this mode, whether it is partial risk agency or all risk agency, the enthusiasm of lawyers can be stimulated to the greatest extent, because the greater the property result that can be won for the client, the more the lawyer's fees will be charged; If the lawsuit is lost or the execution fails, the lawyer will not receive any rewards. It is precisely because of this risk that the name "risk agency" comes about.

"Wait!" Cheng Yao thought of something, "Marriage cases don't involve personal relationship, so risky agency is not allowed? I have also seen cases where risky agency was used and the parties sued to invalidate the agreement..."

"Property can be divided again after divorce." Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao indifferently, "The original intention of prohibiting risky representation in marriage cases is to fear that because of the profit-seeking nature of lawyers, in order to divide more property, in order to obtain more However, in the case of Li Yan, the relationship between the two parties has broken down and divorced, and after the divorce, they realized that the other party may have concealed property. Possibly, it is no longer possible to have the possibility of mediation and reconciliation. The focus of the dispute is completely on the division of property, which has nothing to do with personal relationship. Considering that the evidence collection and execution of common property are very difficult, lawyers need to do a lot of work. Under the condition of consensus, a risk agent can be applied, and a certain percentage of the property returned from execution can be used as remuneration, which is very reasonable.”

Cheng Yao suddenly realized that it was so!

"Moreover, the current trend is to gradually liberalize the risk agency of marriage cases, and Guangdong Province has already directly liberalized it."

"No matter what industry you are in, you are not afraid to meet someone who is completely ignorant, but you are most afraid to meet someone who is half-baked." Qian Heng glanced at his watch, "Just explaining this common sense to you is a waste of ten minutes of my life."

"I… "

"Stop." Qian Heng stopped Cheng Yao's words, "From now on, do me a favor and stop asking me these stupid questions, and ask me to deduct your salary."

"..."

"Bao Rui's leg wound has deteriorated a bit this afternoon. He hasn't finished investigating Xu Jun's business situation. You can continue to do it. When I go to work tomorrow, I want to see a clear and feasible investigation direction."

"Huh? Good!"

After Cheng Yao finished answering, she continued subconsciously waiting 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 didn't lift his head, but waved to Cheng Yao: "It's all right, kneel down."

"..."

Cheng Yao felt that Suxiao Jiuxin Pill might not be able to save herself, the boss was too toxic, she felt like she was about to suffocate...

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 complicated. It took her a lot of time to finally draw a table of holding relationships. However, for Cheng Yao is still at a loss as to where to investigate his hidden property.

In the corporate network structure of Tuan Tuan Online, there are indeed affiliated companies and subsidiaries established during the marriage. However, first of all, these companies are too many and too messy, and these companies either have limited profits or are directly loss-making, so As a result, in the previous divorce proceedings, Bai Xingmeng only got very little property division.

Cheng Yao went 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, there is no technical content in the matter of retrieving files, it is just an errand job, especially this November, and these few days have caught up with the wind and rain. The suit was scrapped in a short while, the trouser legs were covered with mud and water, and two lumps of frostbitten "plateau red" were blown out of one face.

It's just a pity, even if Cheng Yao is not afraid of hardships or tiredness, how could a man like Xu Jun, who has calculated the time of marriage, leave such a conspicuous clue? Had a fever.

However, Qian Heng's words stimulated Cheng Yao's fighting spirit to some extent. When she returned home that night, she buried her head in the room to study while blowing her nose drowsily.

It's a pity that she had studied for a long time, but she still had no idea. At this moment, Qian Heng, who was working overtime in the office, opened the door and came back.

Cheng Yao thought for a while, and decided that the person who knows the current affairs is Junjie, and asked Qian Heng, a foreign aid who seemed to be cheating, for help.

"boss… "

"no."

"..."

Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao: "Don't ask me your stupid questions."

"..."

Cheng Yao choked and struggled, "I just want to ask for advice..."

"You said it yourself. Here, we are just roommates, not working hours. Don't come to consult me about my work."

"But you take good care of me and cherish the month of renting with you, so I think..."

Qian Heng raised his eyebrows: "Who is the boss?"

"You."

"That's what I say. Now, turn around and go back to your room."

"..."

"Wait." Qian Heng said expressionlessly, "Also, I stayed up until two o'clock last night because of a case, so now, I'll go back to my room and sleep right away. Please keep absolutely quiet."

Okay, boss, who told you that you are the boss, but you can pray hard, and one day you won't fall into my hands! ! !
