the other side.

During this time, Ruan Mu's situation in UBS was also a bit embarrassing. After all, the whole bank knew that she was dating Jing Han. Ruan Mu was originally valued by md. It was obvious that she would take her with him every time he went out to meet important clients, but Jing Han As soon as this incident came out, such reception quickly diminished.

But Ruan Mu didn't care too much about it. "There are too many headhunters looking for me. At worst, I will resign. It is not difficult to get a high-paying position in private equity." She replied this way.

Ruan Mu took a day off this day to take Jing Han to see a private lawyer. This lawyer was introduced by her mother. It is said that she has rich experience in economic cases and also has a certain understanding of handling political cases.

This British female lawyer is in her 40s, but she still looks very elegant, "Please sit down," she greeted the two briefly, and then asked them to sit down, "So you are," she twitched her lips , staring at Ruan Mu for a while.

"I have some...personal relationship with your mother, so since she asked me, of course I'd be happy to help you," she pulled out a chair and sat across from them, rolling her eyes between them, "mind me Ask, so you are?"

Ruan Mu smiled at her, and put his arms around Jing Han's waist naturally, "Yes, my girlfriend."

Jing Han pursed her thin lips, and lightly patted some of Ruan Mu's legs, telling her not to do this, "Hello," she nodded shyly.

"No wonder," the lawyer smiled. "It seems that you have inherited some genes from your mother." She smiled meaningfully.

"But I have a meeting at three o'clock, let's start as soon as possible." She straightened her expression and said seriously, "I read your case." She looked at Jing Han aside, "To be honest, the situation is a bit complicated. "

"The main crimes you are charged with now are bribery and relationship recruitment." The lawyer looked at the documents.

"I haven't done it before. I may not be in control of the valuation thing, but I really don't know about the other two things." Jing Han took a breath and said slowly, "You should have known it on the phone. , After I was suspended for a period of time, a few days ago, the high-level executives talked to me in private, asking me to apply for a transfer to another branch and not to return to London, and then I apologized to everyone together with Barclays, saying that this matter It can be solved like this.”

When Jing Han said this, she suddenly stopped, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were a little depressed, and her brows were frowned, "But I refused, I can't accept this solution,"

"I know, it doesn't matter, I have already told me the general story," the lawyer nodded, looked at Jing Han and said, "In fact, the crime you are being accused of has often happened before, and you should know it better than me."

"UBS has always been a safe deposit box for wealthy businessmen's wealth, but since it agreed to sign a new global standard on the automatic exchange of information in June 2014, its confidentiality regulations have been gradually relaxed. So the audit Only then did the bureau find out about Miss Shen Qin's account and the money in it."

"Since the establishment of investment banks, these cases have been emerging endlessly, including matters such as relationship recruitment, which are the default regulations in the investment banking industry. The National Audit Bureau has always wanted to take care of them, but due to many reasons, there is no way to cure them."

"I saw that one piece of evidence they provided was the testimony of Barclay's vp——a gentleman named Liang Chen, right? He said that he took a bribe and then gave you 20 pounds in cash." The lawyer said, "Oh, of course I know that you confiscated it. I mean, Mr. Liang Chen has admitted to taking bribes. Why did he dare to provide testimony like this? You should think about the reasons for this."

This sentence made Ruan Mu frowned, "You mean, UBS and Barclays have reached an agreement in private?"

"Oh, this is just a guess, but I think their top management should have known about it earlier than you, and it is normal to have discussed how to deal with it in advance."

"In addition, it is actually difficult to define the matter of relationship recruitment," the British woman looked up at Jing Han, "In essence, you don't have to worry about relationship recruitment, and it is easier to argue, because relationship recruitment must be checked. You can’t be sure until you really received a bribe, unless the company really gave you the money, and in the process he even recorded it.”

"This is my conjecture. I think that in this matter, you UBS should have received benefits, but not money," the lawyer said, "I also observed Mr. Shen Wenqing's case, and speculated that there should be some Money laundering and business dealings co-occurred, and this transaction should be a continuous cooperation, but it was reported before long.”

Ruan Mu interrupted her suddenly, "We got in touch with Shen Qin yesterday. According to her own statement, she only found out that Shen Wenqing deposited 300 million in UBS after joining UBS. She always thought that her recruitment process was legal. legally."

The British woman shrugged and said, "Of course, you can say that the recruitment of UBS is a complete and complicated recruitment process. Anyone who comes in has to go through a comprehensive selection process, and the bank's legal and compliance staff are involved. Under the evaluation, it is definitely not a decision that one person can make. As for the 300 million, you can say that you don't know."

"It's like this now," the lawyer said seriously, "putting aside Shen Wenqing's domestic case, Miss's main problem is actually accepting bribes."

"Because it is true that the valuation of this company is too high, and Barclays' vp also admitted that he received money, but one advantage is that they have no evidence, and there is no clear evidence that you have also received money. "

"This lawsuit is not difficult to solve, according to common sense, but why I say it is complicated, because this case involves the economic interests between the two countries, this is no longer a simple economic case, it is very likely that in the future There will be diplomatic issues and UBS' position will change."

The British woman frowned, "UBS is still in the attitude of not making any remarks to the outside world, saying that the Audit Bureau is investigating, and I am afraid that if China can't hold it down, once it is revealed that there are indeed funds being transferred overseas , that would be troublesome."

"If UBS is just asking you to resign or be transferred to calm things down, then it may really insist on accusing you of the crime."

"By the way, you are on a work visa." The lawyer looked at Jing Han, "Well, there is still one year to expire, and you need to renew your visa after it expires," Jing Han nodded, frowning.

"If you really want to fight against the company, you may be at risk of being deported in the end. Are you mentally prepared?" the British woman asked very directly.

"Will it really come to this point?" Ruan Mu asked with a frown.

"It's hard to say, the best result is to win the lawsuit, but you also have to resign. I don't know if there are other companies that will hire you in this situation, but even if there is, according to Ms. Suet, after the visa expires You still have to renew your visa. You should all know that the current visa policy in the UK has been shrinking. It is really difficult for you to keep this record. Generally speaking, I think it is less likely that you can continue to stay in the UK.”

"Let's not talk about repatriation, we will find a way to solve this kind of thing," Ruan Mu thought for a while, and then replied, "We just want to win this lawsuit now, it is impossible to say that this kind of thing has never been done before." Sorry."

"Oh really?" The female lawyer stared at Ruan Mu for a while, "Well, now I suggest that you go to the high-level people who are close to you to set the pattern again, and it is best to get some evidence of the recording. Although it is a bit difficult for senior silver executives to help launder money, it can at least be used as an argument for self-defense.”

"You can also go to the vp of Barclays to discuss it. In fact, people can do anything under heavy pressure. It's okay to tell you some secrets."

"As far as this lawsuit is concerned, I will do my best," she said finally.

……

The two came out of the law firm.

Jing Han sat in Ruan Mu's car, and Ruan Mu hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Jing Han was not in a good mood. She turned her head to look at Ruan Mu's face. For a moment, she wanted to say that she couldn't eat anything, but she couldn't say it because today was the anniversary of the two of them.

The two of them argued about where to start counting the day. Ruan Mu said that of course it will be counted from the first time the two of them went to bed. .”

Ruan Mu smiled helplessly, "Okay, whatever day you choose."

Although nothing good happened recently, Jing Han didn't want to upset Ruan Mu's mood. She actually knew that Ruan Mu had been preparing for this day for a long time.

"You can arrange it, I can do it." She looked at Ruan Mu and slightly curled her lips.

Ruan Mu pressed his lips to her ear, "Relax, we will find a way after today, trust me."
