Lawyer's character

"Take it, this is my intention." Wan Kefa's face looked a little tired, without the energy of the past, as if he had aged several years.

"Okay, thank you, Lao Wan." Fang Yi hesitated for a moment, but still put away the red envelope: "Did the meeting last night... not go well?"

"Well, it can only be said to be a mixed blessing. Your second-level partners have already met and completed the formalities after the New Year. In the past two days, the administrative department will ask you to sign and prepare materials." Wan Kefa raised his hand and poured a cup of tea. He picked it up and said.

"The matter of attracting investment for our law firm..." Fang Yi asked in a low voice.

"Well, we had a heated debate about attracting investment at yesterday's meeting, but in the end, the minority obeyed the majority. There will be a meeting of all partners the day after tomorrow. If the voting rights exceed two-thirds, the matter is basically settled." Wan Kefa He said calmly.

Fang Yi leaned on the chair and said nothing. He didn't know what to say.

"If, I mean if, one day our Wanhua United Law Firm is divided into two law firms, what will you do?" Wan Kefa looked at him with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"To be honest, I have never thought about this issue...if you are still a partner, I will follow you to continue to form a team." Fang Yi hesitated and said, with unconcealed surprise in his eyes.

In fact, after Ma Yi told him about the infighting in the law firm, Fang Yi had already started making plans. Regarding his future development and the livelihood of his family, Fang Yi had to be cautious.

Wan Kefa suddenly raised this issue today. Fang Yi knew that the internal conflicts in the law firm could no longer be reconciled, and it was very likely that the law firm would split up.

The fat old man in front of him was kind to him. If the fat old man really wanted to recruit a team to work alone, Fang Yi would definitely choose to side with him if he couldn't be ruthless. What's more, the fat old man still had certain resources, so he wouldn't really do it. Start all over again.

The separation of the law firm will definitely have an impact on Fang Yi's business, but now that his reputation has risen, clients mainly recognize Fang Yi's name, not the law firm, so Fang Yi is not too worried about business issues.

Those non-litigation businesses may be affected, but fortunately, Wanke Law’s team mainly focuses on perennial legal advisory business and litigation business, and does not have investment due diligence, listing, and mergers and acquisitions business, so Wanke Law has the confidence to separate. Go it alone.

"Well, Xiao Fang, if we work together, the treatment I will give you will only be better than now, and you won't be as restricted as you are now.

You’re going to expand your team next year, right? "Wan Kefa started to cheer Fang Yi up.

"Yes, at present, at least two more lawyers and one paralegal are needed." Fang Yi said.

"Yun Qiao's trainee lawyer certificate expires in June this year. Isn't it time to become a regular lawyer? Why do we still need to recruit so many lawyers?

Let me give you a suggestion. There will not be too many cases in the first half of the year. You can try to let the lawyers engage in internal cooperation. Simple cases will be handled by Zhou Ying and Yun Qiao, and complex cases will be handled by Meng Guangda and Du Yong. Work in pairs.

Young Master Wu can't do anything. If he is willing to follow you, you can just treat him as a driver. Yu Wendong is okay. He will be a full-time lawyer at the end of this year.

It is completely enough for you to recruit another lawyer, a paralegal or a trainee lawyer. Think again. "Wan Kefa said.

"Well, I'll think about it again." Fang Yi nodded.

After returning home in the evening, Fang Yi and Yun Mei sat in the study drinking tea and chatting about what happened during the day. Fang Anzhi is on vacation and is sitting on the sofa in the living room with his grandfather watching TV.

"Hey! It can be seen that Director Wan is a little frustrated. He wanted to make the law firm bigger, but he was taken over by the capital side and Lawyer Zou. In the end, there is a high probability that the company will be separated." Fang Yi said.

"Well, I think so. I think the red envelope Director Wan gave you today is actually to ask questions and find out your true and false.

If you don't accept his red envelope, he is likely to suspect that you are ready to change jobs or have negotiated with Lawyer Zou on the opposite side, and will no longer be in the same camp with him. "Yunmei analyzed.

"Can you try out a red envelope?" Fang Yi looked at her in surprise.

"It may not be possible to test others, but it is definitely possible to test you. Because Director Wan knows you." Yunmei smiled.

"Hey! This guy, once he has a big appetite, he will never be fed enough. He wants to be the boss and sail away. Originally, I wanted to use the reputation of the law firm to develop the team, but I didn't expect..." Fang Yi leaned on the chair, feeling helpless.

Yunmei poured a cup of tea for Fang Yi: "Actually, you don't need to be so worried about gains and losses. It's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. You have to make plans in advance."

"Have you planned ahead?" Fang Yi looked at her.

"Yes, Director Wan is getting older. It's hard to say how many years he can continue to work. Lawyer Zou and Director Wan are not dealing with each other, and you have been labeled again. So if it doesn't work, you might as well bring the team out and work alone. ." Yunmei blew on the tea and said slowly.

"Work alone..." Fang Yi hesitated.

"Think about it, you have changed several law firms over the years, and your reputation now is enough to support the operation of a small law firm. I know you have concerns, Director Wan has always been kind to you..." Yunmei wanted to continue. , but was interrupted by Fang Yi.

"In the past few years, Director Wan has been lifting me up by my collar, and we have a good relationship. Now that the law firm is in turmoil, Mr. Wan needs my support.

If I leave the law firm, it will be like stabbing him in the back, and it will most likely cause the team to become disorganized. I cannot do such a thing. Let’s take a look first and then talk! I will definitely support Lao Wan, no matter what he chooses. "Fang Yi rubbed his face vigorously with his hands.

"You are just too emotional! You are soft-hearted. But this is also your advantage. It is much better to lend a hand in times of crisis than to be the icing on the cake." Yunmei looked at him with a smile. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. She thought to herself: She didn't Wrong person.

To be honest, although she had some objections to Fang Yi's decision, she still admired his decision. Yunmei felt very complicated.

"Have you visited all your customers?" Fang Yicha changed the topic.

"Well, that's almost it. I'll have a few more runs and rest before the Spring Festival." Yunmei replied.

…

There is still half a month until the Spring Festival holiday. The lawyers were no longer very busy. They gathered together to drink tea, chat, and enjoy the relaxation before the holiday.

Wu Qinghui walked towards the door of the law firm with an impatient look. Huang Mao, who had always wanted to be a sailor, came again and had just finished calling him.

"Brother Wu! Captain!" A voice came from the rest area next to the front desk of the law firm.

Wu Qinghui followed the voice and saw a young man with short hair, a delicate face, and a high-end suit waving to him.

Wu Qinghui looked at the young man in front of him and looked familiar: "Damn, Huang Mao! Your hairstyle..."
