The situation was unprecedentedly awkward. Gu Jie also pretended to hold the tea cup to cover up his face, which had turned black to coal.
After several minutes, Gu Jie cleared his throat: "At least we have a common goal, right?"
He Sai hesitated for a while, but still shook his head: "I want to think about it."
Gu Jie did not force He Sai to give a reply on the spot. In fact, the initiative was now in He Sai's hands. She had no useful cards in her hand, but He Sai was the target of many law firms.
After returning home, He Sai lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and did not wake up until noon the next day.
After a hasty lunch, He Sai drove to the entrance of a high-end residential area.
After making a call and waiting for a long time, He Sai saw a man with some gray hair coming out leading a dog.
"Seal, why do you look so old?" After He Sai finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth.
Seal smiled at him and shook his head: "Come for a walk with me."
The two of them walked the dog slowly along the artificial lake outside the community, and He Sai finally couldn't help complaining about the seal.
"Seal, since you took leave, a lot of things have happened in the law firm..."
Seal smiled and waved his hand: "You resigned from Quan Jin?"
He Sai's eyes lit up: "You know everything?"
Since Seal knew, it meant that he was still paying attention to Quan Jin, which lifted He Sai's spirits.
"Why did you resign voluntarily?" Seal asked with reproach in his tone.
He Sai said unhappily: "I just can't stand Qin Hao's villainous face..."
"Do you think the person who should be the director of the management committee should be you, not him?" Seal interrupted directly.
When his worries were revealed, He Sai's expression froze, and then he frowned and said: "In terms of qualifications, ability, and contribution to Quan Jin, I am not better than Qin Hao in any aspect. Why should he give me orders?"
Seal shook his head and sighed: "The era of ranking based on seniority has long passed. If we really wanted to rank based on seniority, it would not have been me who became the director, but Gu Jie."
He Sai was speechless for a moment, but he still looked at the seal unconvinced.
Seal patted He Sai on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't you realize that after Gu Jie and I left Quan Jin, Quan Jin developed better than before?"
"That's also everyone's credit."
Seal said in a helpless tone: "This is exactly the embodiment of Qin Hao's leadership ability."
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for He Sai to refute, and asked directly: "Do you think Gu Jie and I spent all these years in Quan Jin in vain?"
He Sai shook his head subconsciously.
Seal pulled the leash to prevent the dog from running too far.
"Gu Jie and I have been fighting for the position of director for so many years. As you can see, we both lost. We both took a vacation. Quan Jin is like a powder keg that can explode at any time and may fall apart in the next second."
"If it was you who replaced me instead of Qin Hao, are you sure that Quan Jin will be able to work in the same direction like he is now?"
Jose stared at the seal blankly. He had never thought of looking at the problem from this perspective.
Seal continued: "And, why do you think Gu Jie would ask you to start a business together?"
"How do you know..." He Sai looked at the seal in shock, with an expression that asked: Are you spying on me?
Seal shook his head and sighed. His two most proud disciples were Luo Bin and He Sai. He Sai was too simple-minded and had a quick temper, so he was not suitable to succeed him, so he has been trying his best to train him.
Luo Bin, Luo Bin's ability was fine, but he didn't have much ambition. In addition, Gu Jie came out halfway and knocked him down. Before he could help Luo Bin up, Qin Hao took advantage of the situation.
"I said that all these years in Quan Jin were not in vain. Gu Jie's people in Quan Jin were all rebelled by Qin Hao, so she came to find you."
"According to your personality, you would only come to me if you encounter something like this."
He Sai's mouth opened slightly, and it took him a while to recover. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Seal, please come out again, call Luo Bin and the others, and let's open a new law firm."
Seal said bitterly: "Gu Jie's people have been incited to rebel. Do you think Qin Hao will let my people go?"
"Impossible, even if others are incited to rebel, Luo Bin will not..."
Before He Sai finished speaking, Seal sighed: "Forget it, I'm almost at retirement age. I don't want to bother anymore. I'd better live a peaceful retirement life for a few years."
The seal is very clear. Luo Bin may leave Quan Jin to start his own business due to friendship, but in this case, all the previous friendship will be used up, not to mention that Luo Bin and He Sai alone can't open a law firm again.
Not enough. In addition, starting a new business requires a lot of funds. It is really unwise to invest all your decades of accumulation in fighting for a possibility. The biggest difference between him and Gu Jie is that Gu Jie always acts on his own initiative, and he is even more
reason.
When he broke up with Liao Jiamin, he chose his current wife because Liao Jiamin was too strong, while his current wife has a gentle personality and can help him take care of the family after marriage.
"seal........"
Before He Sai could finish his words, Seal pulled the dog into a trot.
"You are welcome to come to me for tea in the future. You can handle this kind of thing yourself. I am no longer your boss, and you are no longer a child."
He Sai watched the seal leave, kicked the gravel from the lake into the artificial lake, and then walked away.
In the end, He Sai agreed to Gu Jie's invitation, and the two established a new law firm together.
As if to prove that he meant what he said, Gu Jie directly chose the office location of the law firm below Quan Jin, and rented an entire floor of the office building at no expense.
"Come on, Lawyer He, this is another partner of our law firm - Wang Yue."
Wang Li reached out to He Sai with a smile on his face: "Lawyer He, long time no see."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is that you?" Of course He Sai knew Wang Li, but he didn't have the slightest impression of him, so he simply ignored Wang Li's outstretched hand.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Gu Jie smiled and smoothed things over: "Lawyer Wang and Lawyer He know each other?"
"Of course, we are alumni." Wang Li calmly put his outstretched hand under his left hand, looking polite.
He Sai made no secret of his disgust for Wang Li: "Lawyer Wang is a celebrity in our school, how could he not know him?"
In fact, it's no wonder that He Sai hates Wang Li. When he was in school, this guy was famous for using any means to achieve his goals. He once used the trust of his alumni to sell the other party's patent worth one million to a family for 30,000 yuan.
Enterprise, after graduation, it has become even more serious, and it can be said that it is notorious for accepting any job for money.
A trace of anger flashed in Wang Li's eyes, but he still smiled and looked regretful.
"It seems that Lawyer He misunderstood me deeply."
He Sai sneered.
Upon seeing this, Gu Jie quickly smoothed things over: "In the past, we may have had some misunderstandings. From now on, we are partners. Everyone in the law firm has a share. I hope everyone can cooperate sincerely."
He Sai suddenly felt like he was on a pirate ship. In order to get 20% of the shares of the law firm, he also invested 10 million. Now it is impossible to withdraw.
Seeing that He Sai was not acting impulsively, Gu Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the conference room, Gu Jie cleared his throat: "The law firm has just been established and its reputation has not yet been established, so we still need everyone to vigorously develop business. Lawyer Wang, how many of your previous clients can be attracted to our law firm?"
Wang Li said confidently: "My clients, they will sign wherever I go."
He Sai secretly cursed, it's not because you have no bottom line to do their dirty work for them.
"Lawyer He, what about you?" Gu Jie was very satisfied with Wang Li's answer.
He Sai hesitated a little: "I want to contact you first..."
Gu Jie held his forehead for a while: "It's been so long since you left Quanjin, and you haven't contacted your previous clients?"
Facts have proved that Gu Jie's worries are not unreasonable. After He Sai left Quan Jin, his clients were assigned to other lawyers by Qin Hao, and some even forgot about He Sai.
This is not to blame for other clients. The main reason is that He Sai has always insisted that work should not be mixed with personal feelings. He basically has no contact with clients outside of work. Since it is all business, as long as he can help them handle legal disputes, who can
That’s fine, why would they follow you?
Wang Li had long disliked He Sai and took the opportunity to sneer: "I thought I was very capable, but in the end I couldn't get a single customer."
He Sai was so angry that he almost beat Wang Li, but in the end it was Gu Jie who smoothed things over and the two of them did not fight. Otherwise, the first legal dispute of the law firm would have started with the two founding partners.
"Lawyer He, the law firm doesn't have any extra money for you now. You still have to find a way to develop some clients."
Naturally, it was impossible for Gu Jie to give He Sai the customers he had worked so hard to accumulate.
Helpless, He Sai can only develop customers by himself, but He Sai is obviously not that material. Without Quan Jin's golden signature, He Sai can't even get in the door of those companies in many cases, which makes He Sai very depressed.
Remember back then, wherever he went, he was not treated like a distinguished guest?
In contrast, Gu Jie is very satisfied with Wang Li. Wang Li is really not bragging. He has attracted more than a dozen customers. The only pity is that Wang Li signed the order worth hundreds of millions. She is the one who signed it.
Can't get any money.
On this day, Lan Hong came to the office building where Quan Jin was located. Luo Bin, who was waiting for the elevator, saw her and was stunned for several seconds before reacting.
"Why are you here?" Luo Bin asked doubtfully.
Lan Hong said resentfully: "You don't want to help me, so I can only find someone who is willing to help me."
Luo Bin frowned and quickly reacted: "Are you going to find Gu Jie?"
On the day that Gu Jie Law Firm was established, there was such a big commotion. It was impossible for Luo Bin not to know about it. There was even an interesting saying in the industry. Both Liao Jiamin and Gu Jie of Long Ke came from Quan Jin, but they both left in the end.
Quan Jin started his own business, and the two families sandwiched Quan Jin in the middle, which was nicknamed "hamburger" in the industry.
While Luo Bin was stunned, Lan Hong had already gotten off the elevator.
In the conference room, Lan Hong said impatiently: "Lawyer Wang, seeing that the statute of limitations for my case's appeal is about to expire, when will you be able to get rid of that assistant!"
Wang Li smiled and reassured: "Don't worry, if it's so easy to handle, why would you spend so much money to find me?"
"Lawyer Wang, you should know very well who I am, Lan Hong. You took so much money from me, and if you can't give me a satisfactory result..."
Before Lan Hong could finish her words, Wang Li said seriously: "Ms. Lan, don't worry, I, Wang Li, have always used people's money to eliminate disasters. The matter is already being handled. Please give me a little more time."
Two days later, Qin Hao received a call from Sun Chaoyue in the office.
"Director Qin, I heard that Lan Hong appealed, will she..."
Qin Hao comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Sun. The chain of evidence in our hands is quite sufficient. Lan Hong can't afford to stir up trouble. Just leave the matter of responding to the lawsuit to me."
"Okay, I can rest assured that Director Qin will do the work, so I'll leave it to you."
Not long after Sun Chaoyue hung up the phone, the door of Qin Hao's office rang.
"Enter."
Dai Xi pushed open the door and walked in. Without saying a word, he put his phone on Qin Hao's desk and pressed the audio play button.
The content of the recording is a conversation between Dai Xi and a man. The other person's voice is a bit strange, and it was obviously synthesized through some voice-changing software.
During this conversation, the other party was obviously very familiar with Dai Xi, and even revealed the inside story of Dai Xi's expulsion from university, and threatened Dai Xi to make her lack of academic qualifications public so that she would no longer be able to gain a foothold in this industry.
Seeing that there was no panic expression on Dai Xi's face, Qin Hao joked: "Why, aren't you afraid that he will really tell the truth about you?"
Dai Xi smiled flatteringly at Qin Hao and said, "Hey, director, you will protect me."
"Slippery." Qin Hao lightly tapped Dai Xi on the forehead.
Dai Xi asked doubtfully: "What does this person want to do? Does he know me so well?"
In the recording, the other party did not reveal his purpose, but only frightened Dai Xi.
Qin Hao sneered: "Isn't it obvious? Lan Hong just appealed and you received a threatening phone call."
"But, I'm just a little assistant in charge of the camera. You can't overturn the authenticity of the will by threatening me, right?" Dai Xi asked doubtfully.
After Qin Hao thought for a moment, his eyes narrowed: "The other party probably wants to get a breakthrough from you. Once you appear in court to testify and prove that when you signed the will, Sun Haohan's personal freedom will be threatened. If you continue to cooperate with the hospital doctor's testimony, it is possible
Turn over!"
Dai Xi quickly said: "Director, I will never betray my professional ethics!"
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't." Qin Hao's face was a little gloomy. It was a crime to use illegal means to threaten and bribe witnesses to commit perjury. Lan Hong was a lawyer herself. It was impossible for her not to know the seriousness of this matter. Obviously she had already
Being driven into a panic, I started to jump over the wall in a hurry.
As Qin Hao expected, Wang Li was sitting face to face with Sun Haohan's attending physician in a coffee shop near the hospital.
But compared to Wang Li's calmness, the attending physician's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
"Who are you anyway?"
"This is a new testimony. If Dr. Wang doesn't want that incident to be exposed, he'd better memorize it."
