Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Tycoon Hang Lee

Listening to Lin Yun and Hang Lee's conversation, Xia Qingqing blushed with embarrassment.

However, she didn't say anything, just felt sweetness in her heart.

"Qingqing, Lin Yun, I'm sorry I'm late. I got stuck in traffic." At that moment, a taxi stopped not far away. Zhong Ling hurriedly got out of the taxi and walked fast towards them, apologizing profusely.

After Lin Yun's case was over, some files needed to be organized. Moreover, the higher-ups at the law firm wanted to take Lin Yun as their client from Zhong Ling. So they let her stay back at the office to sort out the follow-up documents. However, it didn't matter when or who sorted out those files, it was just a societal rule.

However, what those higher-ups didn't expect was that Lin Yun had no intention to discuss deeply with them.

"Sister Zhong." Xiao Qingqing walked over and held onto Zhong Ling's arm happily.

The two stunning beauties standing together formed a dazzling scenery.

"Attorney Zhong." Lin Yun gave a slight smile and said.

"Lin Yun, we're familiar now, and Qingqing is my junior. You don't need to keep calling me Attorney Zhong. You can just call me Zhong Ling." Zhong Ling laughed.

"Alright." Lin Yun nodded.

It's just a way of addressing, changing it was no big deal.

Moreover, as Zhong Ling said, they were already very familiar. Always calling her Attorney Zhong indeed made things seem a bit alienated.

"Lin Yun, I've been meaning to apologize to you for the last case and invite you for a meal. What about now..." Zhong Ling paused before she said.

"I've told you before, I don't blame you for what happened with the last case. But, I do need to thank you for your help with this one. How about this, later I have to accompany Qingqing for a street shopping, we can invite you for a dinner some other day?" Lin Yun shook his head and said.

"How can that be..." Zhong Ling retorted.

In her view, she didn't handle Lin Yun's case properly last time, which was indicative of her lack of ability. This time, she didn't think she had helped Lin Yun much.

Because Lin Yun paid a lot of money this time, with that money, he could have hired any law firm to solve the matter. Instead, Lin Yun was offering her a huge achievement this time.

However, upon seeing Xia Qingqing, she nodded and said, "It can be. But next time, when I call you, you can't ignore or not return my calls, okay?"

She was a smart girl and knew that Qingqing and Lin Yun wanted to spend some time together. Naturally, she couldn't disturb them.

Anyway, as long as Lin Yun was willing to have a meal with her, it didn't matter who paid for the meal. She could always apologize some other time.

"No problem." Lin Yun nodded.

Then, after exchanging a few more words with Zhong Ling, Lin Yun left in Hang Lee's car with Xia Qingqing.

The senior members of the law firm, who had no chance to join in the conversation, grudgingly remained silent.

They thought they could take over Lin Yun, a major client, by keeping Zhong Ling out of it.

Unexpectedly, the client only acknowledged Zhong Ling.

Luckily, Zhong Ling did decide to come in the end. Otherwise, they might have lost Lin Yun, their big client.

Thinking of this, the senior official of the law firm who had offered a car ride to Lin Yun walked over to Zhong Ling's side and said earnestly, "Ling, you did very well this time. It seems that you have a good relationship with Mr. Lin. So, I'll leave this client for you to maintain. Try to take as many cases from Mr. Lin as possible whenever he needs a lawyer."

"Director Wang, I'll try..." Zhong Ling hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Originally, she thought needing a lawyer frequently wasn't a good thing.

Both times when she took Lin Yun's case, it was when he was unlucky.

Didn't her leaders seem to be cursing Lin Yun with their comments?

In her heart, Xia Qingqing and Lin Yun were already her friends, and she naturally wouldn't want to curse Lin Yun.

However, she then remembered that big companies often needed lawyers. If Lin Yun indeed had a big background, there was a real chance they might need a lawyer regularly. In that case, there might still be opportunities for their law firm to continue working with Lin Yun.

But, given her personality, she didn't want to impose on others.

That's why at that moment, she just agreed with Director Wang. If there was an opportunity in the future, she could mention it to Lin Yun. If Lin Yun didn't want to use their law firm by then, she wouldn't force him.

"All right, Ling. Keep up the good work. I have faith in you." Director Wang, unaware of what Zhong Ling was thinking, smiled and nodded.

Several powerful lawyers behind Director Wang looked enviously at Zhong Ling.

For this business deal, Zhong Ling, the contact person, would get a decent commission.

They had earlier noticed that Lin Yun was the one involved in the case that many lawyers in their law firm were reluctant to handle a few days earlier. At that time, it was the beautiful girl beside Lin Yun who came to their firm. They had a deep impression of the beautiful girl.

In the end, Zhong Ling took that case.

They guessed that Zhong Ling must have become acquainted with Lin Yun during that case.

Who could have imagined that they had so much money?

Had they known this, they would not have turned down that case last time.

Thinking so, they were all filled with regret.

A golden opportunity had been completely missed by them.

...

In Hang Lee's car, Lin Yun marveled once again at the allure of money.

He now understood why some children of the rich behaved so arrogantly.

Because when you have enough money, you really can do a lot of things.

Let alone, many rich people often have some official power behind them.

"Money is to be made... power is to be had..."

A bright gleam flashed in the depths of Lin Yun's eyes.

"Zhong Ling..."

The image of Zhong Ling flashed in Lin Yun's mind.

Once upon a time, when he just arrived in Shen City, he had worked numerous jobs and understood the many issues between bosses and employees and among employees themselves. Later, when he had been a boss for four to five years, he met all sorts of characters and managed a team of a dozen or so people. Seeing the higher-ups at the law firm greeting him, he furrowed his brows.

Zhong Ling was the first person he had interacted with and her absence was likely due to her having been targeted at the law firm.

For this reason, he didn't engage much with the higher-ups at the law firm.

Without sufficient power on his side, he would likely need lawyers frequently, but he needed to replace someone he could trust. Zhong Ling had a good personality so he was considering using her as a mediator in the future.

He also needed to consider security guards and bodyguards later. After accompanying Qingqing on her shopping, he could also give that some thought.

Soon after, Hang Lee brought Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing to one of his gold jewelry stores.

Lin Yun originally didn't want to go, but Hang Lee kept insisting.

In the end, Lin Yun decided to go so he could buy some jewelry for Xia Qingqing.

Lee's Jewelry Store.

This was the name of Hang Lee's gold jewelry store, a very common name.

The words "First Store" were marked behind the store's name, indicating that Lee's Jewelry Store had multiple branches.

"This jewelry store is quite big..."

As soon as he entered the store, Lin Yun couldn't help but remark.

Spotting the store was around 500 square meters. Given the high property prices in Shen City, the value of such a storefront was incredibly high and the rent was probably not low either.

Unlike the previous hotel, high-end hotels generally do not open in bustling areas because they are too noisy, and the cost performance is not high.

For a hotel, only the first floor storefront was worth some money. The value of the upper floors was considerably less.

However, this store was located at the center of a bustling marketplace. Even though the shop only measured 500 square meters or so, its rental might even exceed that of the 7,000 square meter hotel.

"I used to work in real estate in the early years. I didn't accumulate much of anything else, but I did accumulate quite a few properties. This shop is one of the properties I saved up. Back then, this place was not developed much, and the value of this shop wasn't very high.

However, this shop is by far the most presentable storefront I have, so I used it as the main store for my gold and jewelry chain..." Hang Lee laughed and said.

"This storefront is also yours, Brother Lee?" Lin Yun was genuinely astonished.

He hadn't expected Hang Lee's assets to be so substantial.

The value of this storefront must be in the hundreds of millions.

Adding to that the over 7,000 square meter hotel, these two properties alone made Hang Lee's assets surpass three billion.

Plus several gold and jewelry stores, hotels, high-end restaurants...

Lin Yun estimated that Hang Lee's assets were, at least, upwards of five billion.

This wasn't even considering Hang Lee's other properties. From what Hang Lee suggested, he had other properties as well.

In Shen City, property was the most valuable and storefronts were especially expensive.

It's no wonder that he didn't care about the hotel valued at over ten million.

Lin Yun sighed deeply.
