Lawyer

Chapter 299 People's hearts are in turmoil!

In the afternoon, for unknown reasons, Gu Datong called everyone to the office to talk one by one.Mei Xiaoting's guess is that Chinese New Year is coming soon, so Boss Gu wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with everyone and give out bonuses along the way.Both Fang Yi and Wang Deyou came here for a short time, and felt that although Mei Xiaoting was young, she was an old man in the team, and what she said should make sense, so they didn't think much about it.

The first person to talk to the office was Xie Youhe. An hour later, when Lao Xie came back, he had a complicated expression on his face. He was sitting on a chair, holding a big teacup without drinking water for a long time, then put it down again, and stood up with his hands on his hips. look out the window.

Apart from patting Xia Zhou Yunyuan on the shoulder and signaling him to go to the office, Xie Youhe didn't say a word to everyone, looking very worried.Fang Yi didn't dare to ask more questions, but he was sensitive to the fact that this conversation might not be as simple as Mei Xiaoting said.

When it was almost time to get off work, it was Fang Yi's turn. When he walked into the office, a gust of cold wind blew in with a strong smell of tobacco. The opposite window was open, so where did the cold wind come from?

Gu Datong was sitting on the sofa. On the big coffee table in front of him was a square, glass ashtray filled with cigarette butts. Beside the ashtray was a box of Huazi and a ZIPPO lighter.Gu Datong combed his hair meticulously, but his brows were furrowed tightly.

"Lawyer Fang, come in and sit down." Gu Datong looked up and saw Fang Yi coming in, and motioned him to sit across from him.

After Fang Yi took his seat, Gu Datong stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and looked at Fang Yi: "Lawyer Fang, have you been in our team for a few months?"

"It's been more than five months, and I officially transferred here in July." Fang Yi said.

"I asked Lawyer Xie, and he recognized your ability very much. The Spring Festival will be celebrated in just over a month, and this is a year-end bonus for you." As he spoke, Gu Datong put a thick envelope on the table , pushed it to Fang Yi.

"Thank you, Lawyer Gu." Fang Yi reached out and picked up the envelope, feeling that there was almost 1 yuan in the envelope.

"In addition, our Jinshi Law Firm is going to integrate, do you know if you know?" Gu Datong asked.

"Well, I've heard of it." Fang Yi wasn't sure what Gu Datong meant. Could it be that he wanted to cut his salary?
"Now more than half of the dozens of partners in our firm are not willing to engage in integration, and I am among them. During this period of time, I talked with Wanhua United Law Firm, which ranks first in our local area.

After the Spring Festival, I plan to take all team members to Wanhua United Law Firm to practice.After our team has passed, the non-litigation team will merge with the team of lawyer Li Chaoqun over there. Lawyer Li is my friend and senior brother. He has done many large projects in the non-litigation field.

The litigation team of our team will be included in the team of Lawyer Wanke, the founder of Wanhua United Law Firm. There are some changes in the treatment there. At that time, Lawyer Wan's team will discuss with you individually.I don't know if you have any ideas? "Gu Datong looked at Fang Yi.

Fang Yi was recommended by lawyer Zhou Shen from the headquarters, and it is said that the two have a good relationship.This time, there was internal strife within Jinshi Law Firm because of the integration, and many lawyers would transfer to other law firms. Gu Datong wondered if Zhou Shen had communicated with Fang Yi in advance to stay or not.

Fang Yi was a little overwhelmed by Gu Datong's sudden decision. No wonder Xie Youhe had a complicated expression when he came out of the office. It turned out that he wanted to split the team.

Seeing that Fang Yi lowered his head and remained silent for a long while, Gu Datong cleared his throat: "I just finalized the matter of changing the firm yesterday, and it was a little sudden. Lawyer Fang, if you haven't thought it through, I have a suggestion for you, it's better to go to Wanhua United Talk to the law firm, if you can accept the conditions there, you can stay, if you can’t accept it, tell me, and I will introduce you to other law firms.”

Fang Yi thought that there was no good place to go right now, and there was nothing wrong with talking about it, so he listened to Gu Datong's opinion.

Fang Yi, who walked out of the office, had mixed feelings in his heart, and his expression was as complicated as Xie Youhe's.

"Finished?" Seeing that Fang Yi's expression was similar to his own when Xie Youhe came back, he smiled helplessly.

"Well, let's go, go smoke one?" Fang Yi pouted in the direction of the balcony and whispered.

More than ten minutes later, Fang Yi and Xie Youhe looked at the winter sunset side by side with a cigarette between them.A big red round cake was about to fall, as if it had exhausted all its energy and was lingering on its last breath.

"The setting sun is infinitely good, but it's almost dusk!" Xie Youhe sighed.

"The setting sun is the setting sun, how can it be compared with the morning sun." Fang Yi seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be responding to Xie Youhe.

"After the setting sun passes, there will be another morning sun, which cannot be broken or established!" After a while, Xie Youhe said lightly.

"What do you think? Do you want to follow?" Fang Yi turned to look at Xie Youhe.

"Well, that law firm is quite big. Boss Gu has already made an appointment for me. I will go there to talk to the litigation team tomorrow afternoon. If I can't find a more suitable law firm before the Spring Festival, there is a high probability that I will stay there.

And you?Do you want to go there together tomorrow? "Xie Youhe took a puff of cigarette as he spoke, and looked at him.

"Okay! I'll take a look with you." Fang Yi said
After finishing speaking, the two fell into silence, with a lot of thoughts in their hearts.

After a while, Wang Deyou walked up to the balcony with the bonus from Gu Datong in his arms, showing a shocked, helpless and worried expression, and came up to the two of them.

"Mr. Mei and Mr. Zhou were called away for a meeting by Mr. Sima. I heard that they will be directly transferred to Wanhua United Law Firm. Our litigation team will also go there and merge into another team."

No matter in terms of academic qualifications or successful cases, Wang Deyou was not as good as the two lawyers in front of him, so he was the most disturbed of the three.

Gu Datong's team is in turmoil!
Back at his residence in the evening, Fang Yi deliberately checked the information of Wanhua United Law Firm. The law firm was established on January 5000, [-]. It is located on the eighth and ninth floors of the Financial Building, with an office area of ​​about [-] square meters. .It was formed by the merger of three law firms, Huafang, Wanwei and Jiulian. These three law firms were all top ten law firms in the province at the time, and each had its own advantages in non-litigation and litigation fields.

The word "Wan" of Wanhua United Law Firm is taken from the surname of Wan Kefa, the director of Wanwei Law Firm.The word "Hua" is taken from the surname of Hua Liancheng, director of Huafang Law Firm.

Although Jiulian Law Firm does not have such an honor, it does have a well-known Iron Lady director, Du Sanniang.It is said that her father loved watching "Water Margin" very much. When her mother gave birth to her, her father happened to see the section of Sanda Zhujiazhuang, so he changed the name Hu Sanniang to her and put it on her.

According to rumors, Wan Kefa and Hua Liancheng bickered as soon as they met, and only Du Sanniang could restrain the two of them. I don't know if it's true or not.

Wanhua United Law Firm has 210 eight registered lawyers, and more than 50 paralegals and trainee lawyers.Although the administrative, personnel, and financial personnel have not been disclosed, Fang Yi speculates that such a large law firm should not have too few such personnel.
