Lawyer

"Take it away, it's a little thought from me." Wan Kefa's face was a little tired, without the usual energy, as if he had aged several years.

"Okay, thank you, Lao Wan." Fang Yi hesitated, but still put away the red envelope: "Is the meeting last night... not going well?"

"Well, I can only say that it's mixed. Your second-level partner has already passed the meeting, and the formalities will be completed after the New Year. The administrative department will ask you to sign and prepare materials in these two days." Wan Kefa raised his hand and poured a cup of tea. He picked it up and said.

"Our law firm's investment..." Fang Yi asked in a low voice.

"Well, at yesterday's meeting, everyone had a heated debate about attracting capital, but in the end, the minority obeyed the majority. A meeting of all partners will be held the day after tomorrow. If the voting rights exceed two-thirds, the matter will basically be settled." Wan Kefa Said lightly.

Fang Yi leaned on the chair and didn't speak, he didn't know what to say.

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

"To be honest, I've never thought about this issue... If you are still a partner, I will continue to form a team with you." Fang Yi hesitated and said, with an unconcealable surprise in his eyes.

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

Wan Kefa suddenly raised this question 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 me is kind to me. If the fat old man really wants to pull the team to do it alone, Fang Yi can't be ruthless and ungrateful, so he will definitely choose to stand by him. What's more, the fat old man still has certain resources. start all over again.

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

And those non-litigation businesses may be affected, but fortunately, the team of Wankefa is mainly engaged in perennial legal consulting business and litigation business, and has no investment due diligence, listing, and merger and acquisition business, so Wankefa 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 restricted everywhere like now.

You're going to expand your team next year, aren't you? "Wan Kefa began to cheer up Fang Yi.

"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, shouldn't he become a regular? Why do you need to hire so many lawyers?
Let me give you a suggestion. There won't be too many cases in the first half of the year. You can try to get lawyers to engage in internal cooperation. Simple cases are handed over to Zhou Ying and Yun Qiao, and complicated cases are handed over to Meng Guangda and Du Yong.In groups of two.

Young Master Wu can't do much, if he is willing to follow you, you can just use him as a driver.Yu Wendong is not bad. This year he will practice for one year, and he will become a full-time lawyer at the end of the year.

You can hire another lawyer, a paralegal or a trainee lawyer, and that's enough.You think again. "Wan Kefa said.

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

Back home at night, after dinner, Fang Yi and Yunmei sat in the study drinking tea and chatting about what happened during the day.Fang Anzhi was on vacation and was sitting on the sofa in the living room with his grandfather watching TV.

"Hey! It can be seen that Director Wan is a little discouraged. He wholeheartedly wanted to make the law firm bigger, but in the end he was taken over by the capital side and Lawyer Zou. This matter will eventually lead to separation." Fang Yi said.

"Well, I think so too. I think the red envelope that Director Wan gave you today is actually throwing stones to ask the way, to find out your reality.

If you don't accept his red envelope, he will probably suspect that you are ready to change jobs or have negotiated with the opposite lawyer, Zou, and will not be with him again. "Yunmei analyzed.

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

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

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

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

"Make plans earlier?" Fang Yi looked at her.

"That's right, Director Wan is old, so it's hard to say how many more years you can work. That lawyer Zou got into trouble with Director Wan, and you were labeled again, so if it really doesn't work, you might as well pull the team out and work on your own " Yunmei blew on the tea and said slowly.

"Do it alone..." Fang Yi hesitated.

"Think about it, you have changed several law firms over the years, and your current reputation is enough to support the operation of a small law firm. I know you have concerns, Director Wan has always been good 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 the neck, and we have a good relationship. Now that the law firm is in turmoil, Lao Wan needs my support.

If I leave the law firm, it will be like stabbing him in the back, and it is very likely that the team will be distracted. I can't do this kind of thing.Let's have a look first!I will definitely support Lao Wan no matter what he chooses. "Fang Yi rubbed his face vigorously with his hands.

"You, you are too emotional! Soft-hearted. But this is also your advantage. Reaching out in times of crisis is much better than icing on the cake." Yunmei looked at him with a smile, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked it. Wrong person.

To be honest, although she has some objections to Fang Yi's decision, she still appreciates his decision, Yunmei is very complicated.

"Have you visited all your customers?" Fang Yi changed the subject.

"Well, it's almost there, and I will rest before the Spring Festival." Yunmei replied.

……

There is still half a month before the Spring Festival holiday.The lawyers are not very busy anymore, they have nothing to do to gather together to drink tea, chat, and enjoy the relaxation before the holiday.

Wu Qinghui walked towards the gate of the law firm impatiently. Huang Mao, who had always wanted to be a sailor, came again and 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 handsome young man with a cropped head and a high-end suit waving to him.

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