It was past lunch time after the shareholders' meeting, and Lynch was just about to go out to get something to fill his stomach, when Nell appeared in front of him with Tom.

Nell finally decided to give Tom a hand. After all, the relationship between the two people for thirty or forty years cannot be completely ended because of this incident, otherwise the relationship and time will be too cheap.

As soon as he walked out of the office door, Lynch stepped back again. Sitting behind his desk, he looked at the two people and tilted his head slightly, "So, what do you want?"

Tom was a little at a loss, and it could be seen that some terrible change seemed to be happening in his heart at this time.

He knew Lynch. He and Nell had been good friends for decades. They were very familiar with each other's families. From Lynch's birth to his graduation from high school, Tom would see him once or twice a month.

Three times, when he went to find Nell.

At first, he did not think that the boss of the Interstellar Trading Company was Nell's son. After all, there is not only one person named Lynch in the world. Just like his name, Tom, you can casually find some people with the same name.

There are also some cats and dogs.

Moreover, as a member of the bottom class of society, he does not have the channels and resources to more familiarly understand the composition of this social superstructure. This is just like most people do not know who the top ten tax-paying companies are in their city, and their

Who are the bosses?

People don't care about these. Compared with these illusory things, they are more concerned about how tonight's TV series will be performed, and they are more concerned about work matters.

Until this moment, he didn't think Nell's son could do such a big thing, but obviously the facts made his brain unable to think, and it was difficult for him to accept such a thing.

Nell was very calm, or he was too shocked and numb. Of course, his attitude towards Lynch also changed slightly. At least when he was at home in the past, he would not be so "calm".

Talk to Lynch.

At that time, he was the head of the family, and his tone was always commanding, and no one could refuse.

"Tom encountered some trouble. They stole the raw materials from the factory to produce a batch of goods. Most of them fell into your hands. What we mean is that you can return the things to him and let him try them.

Try to get out of this matter." In order to persuade Lynch, Nell also said very pointedly, "It is only his share, and other people are not within the scope of our consideration."

Nell quickly made it clear what he and Tom's purpose was, but after hearing this, Lynch shook his head, "It's not easy, no, it's impossible!"

Looking at Tom who was gradually coming back to his senses and Nell who was looking confused, Lynch explained, "Even if you take those things and go back now, it is impossible to change the current situation. Just what you said,

I already understood it.”

"No matter how much you sell the things for, it has nothing to do with your boss, and it doesn't matter whether these things can be sold in his hands, it has nothing to do with you."

"In other words, if you want to solve these problems, you must raise the money to solve this matter, otherwise..."

Lynch has already thought of the outcome. If they can't raise the money, the court will enforce it and the bank will auction off their assets, including their cars, if they own them, and their houses.

This also made Lynch suddenly feel that he and the bank could make another deal. These were very high-quality resources, and more importantly, their prices would be very low.

As this kind of entrusted auction, the bank doesn't care how much these things are sold for. They just want to end the work as soon as possible and get a part of the service fee. As long as the bank is satisfied, these things can be used as scrap after being packaged.

Bought at the price.

Then at the auction meeting the next week, the profit will be multiple times as soon as it changes hands.

Thinking of this, Lynch is even less likely to help these people, and he is not familiar with this Uncle Tom.

There was indeed such a person in his memory, but that was all. There was no more interaction between them, except for the man's dignity being played by him a few times when he was a child.

No matter what he considered, he had no intention of helping Tom. He stood up, "I'm sorry, Uncle Tom, I can't do anything about this..." He paused, "Would you like to have lunch together? I know there is

A restaurant with good veal steak.”

Nell still couldn't bear it, "Is there nothing you can do?"

Lynch shook his head, "If it's just a small matter of three to five thousand, or three to fifty thousand, I can help you, but I can't give Uncle Tom more help with this kind of thing."

"He took out his own share, but the total amount was not enough. They still have to be tried and dealt with by the law, so no one can help with this matter."

He hesitated for a moment, and this hesitation of a few seconds was immediately caught by Nell and Tom. They did not dare to disrupt Lynch's train of thought, but just looked at him expectantly.

After about half a minute, Lin Qi's expression became more serious, "Actually, it's not completely impossible, but we can say while eating that I have been in meetings this morning..."

The two of them did not dare to refuse Lynch, and under the leadership of Lynch, they brought them to a reopened restaurant not far away.

During the wave of general strikes, restaurants were actually the hardest-hit areas that were severely damaged, but the content of their damage was different from that of other stores. The damage to restaurants was that most of their ingredients were robbed, but

That's all.

These losses are actually not big for restaurant operators, and they still need to purchase a new batch of ingredients before they can reopen.

After the three people sat down, they looked around. They were the only table in the empty restaurant. In the expectant eyes of the two of them, Lin Qi said the only way.

"If you can win your boss's forgiveness and the judge's sympathy, then the problem will become much simpler." Lynch shook out the napkin and said casually, "You have to explain the cause, process, and result of the incident.

Who is the initiator, who is the organizer, who specifically committed what crimes, how you finally disposed of the stolen money, who presided over the distribution of the stolen money, and your confession, Uncle Tom."

"Our laws do not have much tolerance for criminals, but they are also willing to help those who repent. If you can do this, you may only be given a punishment of community service in the end."

Lynch emphatically clicked on the core, "As long as it is not a criminal penalty, it will not leave a stain on your personal file, nor will it hinder you from finding a job in the future."

Tom's expression was painful and struggling. He licked his dry lips and said in a dry voice, "Are you... asking me to betray them?"

"Betrayal?" Lynch raised his eyebrows, "Why do you think it is a betrayal? In fact, you are helping them recognize the mistakes they have made, and setting an example to guide them to explain clearly what they have committed.

offense."

"But I have to tell you, the judge only sympathizes with the first person to do it!"

After saying these words, he paused for a moment, "From what you said, it is not difficult for me to find that all the things originated from the guy named Hick. How is he now?"

Tom's expression became even worse, "He was released on bail..."

Lynch showed a "Sure enough" expression, "According to my thinking, I even think that this may be a play between Hick and your boss, just for the amount of punishment."

"More than three million is enough for him to pay off some debts and survive this financial crisis!"

Lynch's words were like a sharp arrow piercing Tom's heart, because it was indeed possible, or Lynch was too good at "persuading" others.

Not long after, the dishes they ordered began to arrive on the table, and the topic ended there.

Tom was still considering the advice Lynch had given him, while Lynch and Nell talked about Nell's work.

Some people ate this meal with great flavor, while others didn't even think about using their knives and forks when facing the food they most yearned for, and just sat there blankly.

After the meal, Lynch returned to the company to continue dealing with some of the backlogged matters during this period, while Nell and Tom went to the police station to surrender.

This was the decision Tom made at the end of lunch. He made a choice between himself and others. This choice is not shameful, because ninety-nine percent of people will make such a decision.

However, this matter will not go away so easily. In the afternoon, due to Tom's surrender, the case made a breakthrough. The specific list and some more critical information were mastered by the police station.

Seeing that his former friend has now become a "prisoner", Nell is still very emotional.

That day, if he couldn't stick to his bottom line, he might be the one locked in the iron cage at this time!

After comforting Tom for a few words, Nell left the police station. At the same time, he also knew and could feel that the decades-long relationship between him and Tom had come to an end today.

The two people embarked on two completely different paths, which made Nell, who was not well educated, very emotional.

In fact, the aftermath of the incident was much more troublesome than Nell imagined. Soon after, the court bailiff found Lynch.

The bailiff told Lynch that the items he acquired were stolen goods and would be temporarily seized. Lynch said he needed to consult a lawyer before giving an answer to the court.

This is a very official and most common answer. Most wealthy people can afford lawyers, and lawyers will use their professional knowledge to help these wealthy people avoid various problems.

This is the value of wealth and how to prove it.

Not long after the bailiff left, a lawyer came to Lynch's office.

"Mr. Lynch, I must inform you before we start talking that even if we do not reach any agreement, you must pay for the conversation expenses incurred during our communication, as well as the transportation expenses and communication expenses incurred when I came over. Do you have any questions?
