Chapter 1056: Chapter 286: Third Brother, New Company
Li Yan wasn’t too convinced that he didn’t know, but he was a tough-talking lawyer; if he didn’t want to say, could he be forced besides turning hostile and using force?
"What about the second one? ’He’ is the boss, you’re the third, so there should be a second, right? Why does it feel like this second figure is even more mysterious than the boss? It’s as if there’s never been any news about him."
Zheng Yixuan pondered for a moment: "The second one... well, of course, there is. It’s just that his identity is more secretive. He simply doesn’t keep in touch with the rest of us."
"Who is he?" Li Yan asked impulsively. Knowing who the second is would be a precaution.
Zheng Yixuan smiled wryly, "I’m not really sure, either."
Li Yan couldn’t help but snort internally; you don’t know, or you don’t want to say?
"Haha, it doesn’t matter. Since the first and second aren’t showing up, you’re the biggest as the third. All of us follow your lead, Third Brother!" He intentionally flattered.
Zheng Yixuan, of course, knew he was doing it on purpose, but he still seriously clarified, "I can only say I have more seniority than you guys. Compared to the fourth, fifth, and sixth, it’s about the same, just a little deeper. You call me Third Brother because I’m a bit older, and I accepted that. But don’t say stuff like following my lead; I can’t take that. Everyone can stand on their own, each with their own expertise."
Li Yan chuckled internally, knowing how smooth he was, unwilling to be pushed into threatening the boss’s position.
"Forget it, let’s not talk about them. If they don’t come to us, so be it. Just do what needs to be done! Right now, I should just get my shell company in order. Do you have any good recommendations?" Li Yan placed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
"Recommendations? People? I can introduce quite a few. What kind do you need? Just outsource legal affairs to us; we won’t overcharge you." Shifting away from the heavy topic, Zheng Yixuan relaxed.
"Hehe, naturally, that would ease my mind. But I meant an introduction to an office or something. Got any good places? I don’t need many people."
"Office? Since it’s a shell company, it doesn’t need much space; anywhere would do, right? The ones I introduce are all high-end office buildings with relatively large spaces."
Li Yan stood up, "Never mind, then. That’s something only your well-off company can afford. I just need a place for appearances."
He went over to pack all the materials, then thanked Zheng Yixuan and left.
"For legal affairs, you can find Yun Dandan; I’ll have her help you."
"OK, thanks a lot!" Yun Dandan? Li Yan vaguely remembered the time he sought help from Zheng Yixuan, the person he arranged, and that she had helped some client before, just couldn’t quite recall the person.
...
After leaving, Li Yan found a place to go through all the documents himself. Although he trusted the third and fourth wouldn’t deceive him, it’s always better to glance through such things to prevent any obvious mistakes. However, he wasn’t professional, so even after a superficial look, he couldn’t find anything significant; he could merely assume everything was basically fine.
The company had already been registered, and the investment was in place. Now it’s about how to make the company appear. Strangely enough, it might have been due to Paradise Group’s help with the registration, making the industrial and commercial department assume it’s a subsidiary of Paradise, and it was successful even without an address.
He’s now the manager of Heavenly Film and a consultant for Jie Rui Security, already juggling two companies. If he starts another company, it could be troublesome to run around sometimes. After considering, he decided to rent a place near Jie Rui for the office. Although it’s not luxurious and doesn’t quite match the identity of an investment company, he wasn’t planning on much investment anyway, so being in such a place is more low-key. Most importantly, it’s not far when he has to run around.
Finding a place there was relatively easy; in the same building and on the same floor, Li Yan quickly rented a decent office. It was left behind by a company that moved out, with everything including furniture ready to use, only needing a change of signage.
Finding it a hassle, Li Yan directly gave that staff a sum of money, asking them to help find someone to deal with some unnecessary things and to change the signage. Actually, the name of his company was quite mundane, called ’Mountain Stone Investment’, derived from breaking down the character ’Yan’. Initially, he wanted to use ’Yan Yu’ — a homophone of Li Yan and Zhang Yurong, or ’Rong Yan’, but it sounded too much like an affair and didn’t resemble an investment company’s name. If it were called ’Mu Zi’, it might have already been registered by someone else, so he settled on ’Mountain Stone’, so as not to arouse any suspicion from Chen Mingying.
That staff didn’t need to lift a finger, just one call and they could earn a small fee, while also serving a new tenant, so why not? Getting paid promptly, they immediately agreed to sort it out for Li Yan.
These tasks kept him busy for quite a while. He didn’t go to the company the whole day, ended up going straight home. As for staff, he’s not planning to hire yet, temporarily wanting the versatile and attractive house manager Yue Yao to double up. After all, there’s not much to do, and he could pay her openly, making it convenient for the two to meet and discuss things.
However, now Yue Yao lives at their place, in the capacity of Yurong’s best friend, so to do this, he must first get Yurong’s approval. Expecting no major issues, since working for Li Yan would put Yurong at ease; she wouldn’t deceive him, and he wouldn’t bully her.
