Chapter 538: Chapter 533: She’s the Best at Teaching People Manners
Li Wenxin didn’t expect there would be a matter involving himself here.
But since Ji Ning had already spoken, Li Wenxin could only step forward, sit down next to Ji Ning, adjust his disguised glasses, open the file bag, and begin to look through the documents inside one by one.
Opposite him, Du Qiaoying suddenly felt a bit uneasy for some reason, especially looking at the uncle in front of her. She kept feeling that he looked familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.
Li Wenxin, deserving of being a veteran head of the Security Department and a top graduate of Huazhou Political and Legal University, found reading the contract quite easy, directly asking several key questions.
The questions made Du Qiaoying feel like she was encountering a senior big shot. After answering cautiously, she heard Li Wenxin say to Ji Ning, "The contract doesn’t have any issues, but if you want to inherit, according to the Hua Continent inheritance law, you need to pay 10% inheritance tax and assume the role of director of [Ji Ning Angel Foundation], inheriting all the positions held by Su Qiangwei in the foundation, including her rights, obligations, and any debts. If there are no debts, that’s best, but if there are, you need to pay them off on her behalf..."
Upon hearing this, Du Qiaoying immediately took another set of materials from her bag and respectfully said, "These are the rights and benefits enjoyed by Ms. Su Qiangwei in [Ji Ning Angel Foundation], as well as the obligations she needs to fulfill. However, Ms. Su Qiangwei has no debts, so you don’t need to worry, Ms. Ji."
Li Wenxin took the materials and looked through them. After a while, he pushed them to Ji Ning and said, "[Ji Ning Angel Foundation] is fully funded by Su Qiangwei, with current assets reaching 1 billion, primarily used to support 23 global charitable projects, including funding education for impoverished children, and also supporting the Ai Ning fan club..."
At this point, a hint of a smile appeared in Li Wenxin’s eyes. The Security Bureau had previously investigated issues with members of the Ai Ning fan club, which involved the source of the funding. If Ji Ning signs now, it would mean she has to investigate her own business in the future.
Ji Ning was somewhat speechless and asked Du Qiaoying, "If I don’t sign, how will this inheritance be handled?"
Du Qiaoying was surprised to be asked this by Ji Ning. After pausing for a moment, she quickly answered, "If you give up your inheritance rights, Ms. Su Qiangwei’s inheritance will be managed by an international professional trust company, and you will only receive 5% of the annual income."
Li Wenxin thought for a moment and asked, "Has Su Qiangwei designated which trust company should manage it?"
Du Qiaoying replied, "It will be managed by Pusdon International Trust Institution."
"Pusdon?" Li Wenxin immediately frowned, and Ji Ning asked, "Is there any problem?"
"Pusdon is a company in South Continent. If left to them, Su Qiangwei will have tens of billions in funds flow out. It’s better if you inherit it. Later, if you don’t want to manage these assets, I can have the Gu Family introduce a trustworthy professional manager to handle your assets."
Ji Ning thought the same as Li Wenxin, "That works."
At this moment, Ye Tong suddenly said, "Sister Ning, can I transfer my portion of the inheritance to you? Holding it makes me feel uneasy..."
Seeing this, Li Tao also wanted to give his sister’s portion to Ji Ning.
Du Qiaoying was seeing for the first time that someone would refuse such a large sum of assets.
Since when did Ms. Su Qiangwei’s assets become so undesirable?
Before he could speak, Ji Ning refused, "Hold onto it yourselves. If you’re uneasy, donate it to society."
"Then I’ll donate it to your foundation," Ye Tong had a rare smart moment.
Ji Ning: ...
I forgot about that option.
"I’ll donate too..." Li Tao quickly said.
This money, though plentiful, made him feel uneasy. Could the pain and suffering his sister and he experienced during her eight years of being taken away be measured by money?
Ji Ning glanced at Li Tao, then turned to Li Xiang, "Do you think the same?"
Li Xiang nodded slightly.
Her personality is quite shy, not very articulate, "I want to donate it."
"Alright, Lao Li draft a contract, have them sign it, but retain 5% of the foundation’s annual income for them."
...
After the contract was handled, the group prepared to go out for dinner but was suddenly blocked at the office door by a group of people.
Li Tao recognized the man at the lead, his expression darkened, "Big Head, what’s the meaning of this?"
Big Head took out some crumpled papers, glanced at Li Xiang beside him, and smiled, "Xiao Tao, I heard our sister has returned, so this contract needs to be fulfilled, right?"
Li Tao, with anger in his eyes, shielded his sister behind him, suppressing his rage, "Big Head, you know the origin of this contract better than I do, don’t push it."
"What? Don’t want to acknowledge it? The white paper with black letters is signed in your sister’s name, and her fingerprints are on it. If you don’t acknowledge it now, do you want to take it to court?"
"You..."
"Let him sue; a contract without legal effect, let’s see if the court will accept it."
Ji Ning suddenly spoke up, patting Li Tao’s shoulder and successfully relaxing his clenched fist.
Big Head only then noticed the few people behind Li Tao. He had an impression of Ye Tong and Ji Ning, especially Ji Ning, rumored to have starred with Director Lin Anqing.
He didn’t particularly want to offend her, but behind Ye Tong, there’s no capital supporting her, indicating that the big shots in the industry don’t favor her.
His mind quickly turned, showing a false smile, coupled with his bald head, making him appear exactly like the typical villain, the kind most disliked by Li Wenxin.
"Oh, a rare visitor indeed, Advisor Ji is here too. What wind blew you over? Looking for Director Lin? His film wrapped long ago, and he’s not here now. Are you here to discuss a new role with Xiao Tong’s sister? But I haven’t heard of any new crews starting recently. However, I have some roles quite suitable for Xiao Tong’s sister, how about it? Interested?"
"Not interested, keep it for your people!" Ye Tong rolled her eyes unceremoniously.
Big Head lamented falsely, "That’s truly a pity, Director Wang’s new work, reportedly a 200 million investment big production."
Ji Ning’s heart moved but she remained calm and asked, "What big production?"
Big Head’s smile deepened, "Director Wang Wei’s major female-led xianxia drama ’Lanzhi.’ I know one of the assistant directors in the crew, and they are looking for a second female lead. If Advisor Ji is interested, we can go chat privately."
"Sure, where shall we chat?"
"Sister Ning..." Ye Tong was worried, but Li Wenxin pressed her shoulder.
She turned her head to look, seeing Li Wenxin shaking his head, her pupils shook violently. She hadn’t paid much attention before, but seeing him close, his face suddenly overlapped with a certain big shot.
"Li... Li..."
Li Wenxin smiled kindly at her, "Let’s go to eat first."
Li Tao watched Ji Ning leaving with Big Head’s group, worriedly asking, "Sister Ning won’t be in trouble, will she? Big Head isn’t very proper."
Li Wenxin’s lips lifted in a smile, "She’s the best at teaching people to be proper."
Li Tao was stunned, recalling Ji Ning’s agent status in the Security Department, he suddenly laughed.
Big Head better be proper, or he’s finished.
"Uncle Li, how should I address you? Do you smoke?"
Li Tao had a good impression of Ji Ning’s assistant, the man who had helped draft the contract for his sister.
When Ji Ning was around, he didn’t dare to approach. Now that she had left, he immediately adopted the behavior of a set extra, planning to get close to this capable Uncle Li, hoping he might help with the legal matters.
Now that his sister is back, he plans to standardize his stunt company, eventually driving out Big Head to dominate the Anhe Film and Television Base.
"Sure." Li Wenxin didn’t refuse.
He also wanted to understand the workings of the entertainment industry.
In recent years, some people in the entertainment industry have been somewhat improper.
Ye Tong watched the two departing figures, her mind almost breaking.
