Chapter 497 Bai Ning's Jealousy
Author: Qingqiu Lonely Wolf
At 10:30 in the morning the next day, Qiu Jiayi, the director of the second group of Mingtang Law Firm, broke into Han Tao's office in a hurry, and then stood at the door and started clamoring.
Luo Yun and He Xingyun, who had arrived after hearing the news, hurriedly came forward to persuade her to say something, but not only did they not persuade her, but she also scolded her.
Han Tao, behind the desk, ignored her. He received a call from Wang Yadong yesterday and learned about Xu Jie's danger. Although the crisis was lifted, he had many problems that he needed to consider, so he didn't have the energy to argue with her.
After roaring for a few minutes, seeing Han Tao sitting steadily in the office reading materials, unmoved at all, the middle-aged woman Qiu Jiayi turned her finger to Luo Yun again:
"Little Ronaldo, we are acquaintances. How could you do that? Don't you feel too much or embarrassed?"
At this time, because of her scolding, many people had attracted attention, including some people from a group who also came to watch the fun, and they all wanted to see what Han Tao did.
Luo Yun was afraid of affecting Han Tao's work, so he hurriedly closed the glass door. She knew that she had to solve the troubles of the meeting and she had to solve them by herself, so she said helplessly:
"Sister Jiayi, you're making noise when you come in. Ask for solving the problem. Tell me calmly what you want to do?
I helped you win the lawsuit. You refused to pay the lawyer's fee and blocked the phone number between me and Assistant He. You didn't answer the landline of the law firm. Since that's the case, I can only protect the interests of the law firm and me through legal means. Is this wrong?
And I am your attorney, why did you go to the door of our director’s office to make trouble? Your behavior and practices are unreasonable!"
"What do you say I want to do? It's because your fees are unreasonable. It was your director who was with me that day. Who would I look for if I didn't look for him? After all, he is your leader and he has the obligation to take care of you!"
After saying that, Qiu Jiayi pushed open the door of Han Tao's office again, shouted at Han Tao, and asked him to come out and say:
"You are Luo Yun's leader. Your fees are unreasonable. You must give me an explanation, otherwise I will never end up with you today!"
Upon hearing this, Han Tao put down the information in his hand, walked to the door, looked at Qiu Jiayi and said, "Ms. Qiu, I told you before signing the agreement that our attorney fee is very high, but you agreed.
At that time, you found many law firms, but no one took this case, so you voluntarily accepted the question I asked, and no one forced it.
And we did help you win the lawsuit and get you 12 million in compensation. Do you think it’s appropriate not only to not pay the lawyer’s fees, but also to make trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Jiayi and Shanshan said: "I agree, but..."
"Since you admit it, there's nothing but!"
Han Tao interrupted her defense and gave an ultimatum: "Now I will give you two choices, one is to pay the attorney's fee immediately and apologize, or wait for the court to begin!"
When Qiu Jiayi heard this, she gave up. She shouted fiercely, but she was actually very scared. If she really made sense, she wouldn't have come over to make trouble.
At that time, there were indeed many lawyers in her case, but no one was willing to accept it, or there was no chance of winning. Only Luo Yun was helpless and took her to Han Tao.
Although she won the case and helped her get the unexpected amount back, there was one thing she couldn't accept, that is, after Luo Yun came to court, he won the lawsuit in just a few words, but he had to charge her 1.8 million lawyer's fee. How could she be willing?
But she never expected that the lawyer under her quilt was sued. She was stunned when she received the call from the court, and she also said that property preservation had frozen the funds in her account, and that she could not be in a situation.
This made Qiu Jiayi fall into fear and anger. After that, she consulted again, but all the lawyers knew that she was sued for owing attorney fees, and did not accept her commission, nor even wanted to receive her, so she realized the seriousness of the problem.
Finally, with a lucky mentality, she repeatedly planned and decided to make a fuss here and then talk about it to see if she could use this to get less attorney fees.
I had long seen what she was thinking, and Han Tao didn't give her the chance to continue to mess around, and continued, "Of course, I would like to remind Ms. Qiu in kind, you are going to the finance office of the law firm to make up for the expenses, and I can think that nothing has happened before.
If you still have this attitude, or refuse to pay as before, it will not only be a matter of attorney fees, but may also cause some other fees and credit issues."
"This...this...how could this happen!"
Qiu Jiayi was a little at a loss, especially when she heard Han Tao's later words, she stammered for a long time and didn't say anything.
Seeing that the matter was basically settled, Luo Yun didn't want to make the matter big, so he gave her a step and said, "Sister Jiayi, I know you must not understand, so he was impulsive. Now that he knows the interests of it, he won't be confused. I'll accompany you to pay the fee. There are some procedures that require you to sign!"
"Oh, OK, OK, I really don't understand these things. Others are impulsive when they fool you!"
Qiu Jiayi forced herself to smile for a few words, then followed Luo Yun to the finance department. Although she was reluctant, she still paid the attorney's fee happily.
However, because of this little episode, director Li Gongming also called to inquire and raised concerns, thinking that although the money was returned, it would affect the reputation of the law firm. After all, some law firms sued their clients, but the final result was not worth the loss.
Upon hearing this, Han Tao smiled and explained the situation to him, and also told the nature of the case. After all, it was not a commercial case, nor was the customer or a large company. It was just a divorce case, and the parties involved had no ability to drive public opinion.
Besides, she was just scaring her. Because Han Tao had a good relationship with Fang Hall on the filing court, she was willing to help, otherwise Qiu Jiayi would not have received the call so soon.
After hearing Han Tao's explanation, Li Gongming let go of his worries. Then the two talked about the future development of the law firm. After making an appointment to meet in the afternoon, they ended the call.

At the same time, a group of chief lawyers' offices, Bai Ning walked towards the master with a smile, and Tang Ying looked up at her:
"What's wrong? I'm laughing so happily!"
"Master, you didn't see it just now. Director Han's apprentice Luo Yun is so funny. I don't know where to find a source of the case. Although I won the lawsuit, the parties involved actually planned to default on the debt!"
Tang Ying put down the pen in her hand, frowned and asked, "All law firms will encounter such a thing, what's so funny?"
Hearing Director Tang's words, Bai Ning held back his smile and told her what happened, and then gloated:
"What do you think of the people in the second group? They actually sued their clients. Although the other party paid 1.8 million yuan in lawyer fees under the lesson of Director Han, the reputation of prosecuting their clients is always bad!"
"One.8 million yuan in lawyer fees? I've been maintaining old clients recently. I still don't know if divorce lawsuits are so profitable?"
The amount Bai Ning said surprised Tang Ying, deputy director. Even a middle- and junior partner lawyer, who has been dealing with multiple cases, may not necessarily make a lot of money than this case. After all, Luo Yun is not a well-known lawyer, and even Han Tao's apprentice cannot be so awesome.
Bai Ning also reacted and curled her lips and said, "How could they come and make trouble? The fee is 15%. Luo Yun showed this result in his first case when he debuted. It was obvious that Director Han helped her build momentum. It was really easy for someone in the court to do things.
Miss Chen had been like this before, and she was like this. She could do any good case. She was going to fall in the second group of director Chen and we could finally turn over.
Unexpectedly, now that the second group has Director Han, it is better than before. Why is God also so fond of her Chen Ran!”
Knowing her apprentice’s thoughts and knowing the lawyer’s fees for this ordinary lawsuit made 80% of the lawyers envious, but Tang Ying still hoped that she could magnify the situation, especially when this law firm is facing major changes.
So when Tang Ying thought of this, he could only remind him: "Bai Ning, do you think I praise you for being smart, or are you too smart?"
"Master, what do you mean? I don't quite understand?"
Looking at Bai Ning's appearance, Tang Ying said patiently: "You don't understand yet. The law firm is about to change a lot. Han Tao's chance of becoming the director is 99%.
So, don’t always focus on the second group, gradually learn not to fight in a corner, and have a view of the overall situation.
I know you want to compete with Gao Gu, and Gao Gu is also the best result for lawyers, but if you participate now, it is not a good time. From the promotion plan of Group 2, we can see that there will be great reforms in the future law firm system."
"But Master, it will be even more difficult if you don't fight for it at this time, so I hope you can help me fight for it. You have this privilege!"
"Bai Ning, I hope you will do the most suitable thing at the most appropriate time. Obviously, your current state is not suitable for promotion, and you are comparing with Chen Ran everywhere, which is meaningless.
What you have to do now is to maintain your clients well, and then I will give you some more cases and wait for the law firm to end and get the desired position with excellent results."
"Master, I understand what you mean...but..."
"Nothing, but you don't have the ability to improve your ability yet. Go and do it. I will send you some information and you can fight for it yourself!"
After saying that, Tang Ying waved her hand and continued to work. Bai Ning was indeed capable, but her demeanor and pattern were not big enough, so she, a master, didn't want to see Bai Ning ruined her bright future by her own competitive and jealousy.
As the saying goes, "Small victory depends on wisdom, and great victory depends on virtue." Whether as a high-ranking company or a manager, the biggest difference from before is that not only has strong business capabilities, but also requires the important task of leading the team to achieve collective success and guiding the organization's development direction.
The higher the manager, the more you need to be tolerant. Bai Ning's personality can be a good lawyer, but not a good leader. If she becomes a high-ranking partner, it will inevitably lead the law firm to a stronger power struggle, and this internal consumption will consume the overall interests of the company.
