Chen Xueer continued speaking in an orderly manner.
"The financial system in Lion City is a model of maturity. After years of development and refinement, it has established a complete and efficient financial operational mechanism. There, tax policies for offshore income and capital gains are quite lenient. Not only are tax rates low, but there are even generous tax exemptions in specific business sectors and under certain conditions. From a professional financial and investment perspective, choosing to establish an investment company in Lion City for reasonable tax avoidance planning is absolutely feasible at both theoretical and practical levels, offering significant room for operation and potential value."
Jiang Cheng nodded. "You're the professional in this area. If it's reliable, I'll leave this matter to you."
"Alright, I'll definitely handle it well. Oh, by the way, as of now, Lion City's certification for protecting the privacy of funds and assets has surpassed Switzerland. Two years ago, Switzerland couldn't withstand the pressure from Pretty Country and began implementing new policies, even disclosing some client information."
Jiang Cheng was also aware that Switzerland couldn't withstand the pressure from Pretty Country.
In 2013, they enacted a new law.
It allowed local banks to share necessary client data with Pretty Country's law enforcement agencies.
At the time, this policy struck fear into the hearts of wealthy individuals from countries that didn't get along with Pretty Country.
Jiang Cheng replied, "I know about that. Once a century-old neutral power starts taking sides, its credibility ceases to exist."
"Yes, Switzerland was originally the most favored place for the world's wealthy to deposit their money. The biggest reason was that they were a neutral country, with bank secrecy policies far stricter than other nations. But now, after yielding to Pretty Country, many wealthy individuals have begun transferring their assets to Lion City."
"Lion City faced the same pressure from Pretty Country as Switzerland, but Lion City adamantly refused to hand over client information. So, if you have any funds or deposits to transfer, I suggest moving them there."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng instinctively shook his head. "We'll talk about that later."
Jiang Cheng would never place his assets in another country.
The international situation is volatile; if something happens abroad, one must follow foreign laws.
Just like during the period when Great Goose Country and Pretty Country were in conflict and sanctioning each other.
The wealthy of Great Goose Country suffered heavy losses on their overseas assets.
They were all frozen under various pretexts.
But because they weren't in their home country, these people were almost entirely helpless.
Since that event, many wealthy people who had emigrated or transferred assets abroad began to tremble with fear.
Everyone finally realized that abandoning one's nationality and transferring assets abroad was inherently a foolish move.
At home, no matter the situation, as long as one's own country didn't fall, no one could touch their assets... At noon the next day, after a long sigh, the movement at Jiang Cheng's waist also stopped.
As a smooth sensation washed over him, a wave of emptiness followed.
At this moment, the bathroom was filled with steam, like a thin layer of gauze.
The temperature of the bathtub was neither too hot nor too cold, just right.
Seeing that Xia Meng had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Jiang Cheng held her even tighter.
Still maintaining his previous posture, he somewhat guiltily kissed her cheek from behind.
He gently guided her head to rest on his shoulder, then leaned back himself, quietly soaking in the hot bath.
After relaxing for a while, Jiang Cheng picked up his phone and started scrolling.
Opening his moments, he saw that Si Nian had posted a selfie of two people facing a restaurant's floor-to-ceiling window.
Since it was a photo of their reflections in the window, although the figures of two girls were visible.
Their faces were blurry, but Jiang Cheng could tell at a glance that it was a photo of the Twin Sisters.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng gave it a like and then commented: "I'm hungry."
Right after he commented, a wechat message from Si Nian arrived.
Si Nian: "Big shot, hungry? Want to grab a meal?"
Jiang Cheng: "Of course. I'll take you out for a big meal."
Si Nian: "OK, I'm out of class after 4 PM."
Jiang Cheng: "Then I'll pick you up at five."
Just after sending the message, Jiang Cheng felt Xia Meng move in his arms.
As she moved, the point where they were joined also loosened.
At this, Jiang Cheng placed his phone on the table beside the bathtub.
He sat up straight and wrapped his arms around her again.
"If you're tired, sleep a bit longer. The water is still warm, soak for a while more, and I'll carry you to bed later."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's gentle tone, Xia Meng suddenly felt the resentment she had before falling asleep vanish instantly.
Even so, she still turned her head to look at Jiang Cheng with a hint of complaint.
"Cheng-ge, you... this duration is just too ridiculous..."
Xia Meng remembered the first time she soaked in a hot spring with Jiang Cheng at the club; she had been frightened by that donkey-like thing of his.
Her first reaction then was: Am I going to die?
Her heart was filled with regret and helplessness over her choice of profession.
But after gritting her teeth and going through with it, besides the heart-wrenching pain, there was actually a trace of painful but pleasurable sensation.
