Chapter 497 Bai Ning's Jealousy

At 10:30 the next morning, Qiu Jiayi, the client in the divorce case, rushed into Han Tao's office in the office area of ​​the chief lawyer of the second group of Mingtang Law Firm, and then stood at the door and started arguing.

After hearing the news, Luo Yun and He Xingfu rushed to persuade her to have something to say, but not only did they not persuade her, they were also slapped by her.

Han Tao behind the desk ignored her. He received a call from Wang Yadong yesterday and found out about Xu Jie's distress. Although the crisis was over, he had a lot of issues to consider, so he didn't have the energy to argue with her.

After yelling for a few minutes, seeing Han Tao sitting steadily in the office reading the materials, unmoved at all, the middle-aged woman Qiu Jiayi turned her finger on Luo Yun again:
"Xiao Luo, we are acquaintances, how can you do that, don't you feel too much, don't you feel embarrassed?"

At this time, because of her scolding, many people gathered to watch, including some people from a group who also came to watch the fun, wanting to see how Han Tao would deal with it.

Luo Yun was afraid of affecting Han Tao's work, so she hurriedly closed the glass door. She knew that she had to solve the trouble she had convened, so she said helplessly:

"Sister Jiayi, you make a lot of noise when you come in, asking to solve the problem, please calmly talk about it, what exactly do you want to do?
I won the lawsuit for you, but you refused to pay the legal fee and blocked my phone call with Assistant He, and you didn’t answer the landline of the law firm. In this case, I can only defend the law firm and my personal rights through legal means. Interest, is this wrong?

And I'm your attorney, why did you come to the door of our director's office to make trouble?Your behavior and practice are very unreasonable! "

"What do you say I want to do? It's not because your charges are unreasonable. Your director accompanied me to receive me that day. If I don't ask him, who will I look for? After all, he is your leader and has the obligation to take care of you!"

After all, Qiu Jiayi pushed open the door of Han Tao's office, yelled at Han Tao, and asked him to come out:

"You are Luo Yun's leader, your charges are unreasonable, you must give me an explanation, otherwise I will never end with you today!"

Hearing this, Han Tao put down the documents in his hand, walked to the door, looked at Qiu Jiayi and said, "Ms. Qiu, I told you before signing the agreement that our lawyer's fee is very high, but you agreed.

At that time, you went to many law firms, but none of them took this case, so you accepted the questions I raised voluntarily, and no one forced you.

And we did help you win the lawsuit, and let you get a compensation of 1000 or [-] million. Do you think it is appropriate not only to not pay the lawyer's fee, but to come here to make trouble? "

Hearing this, Qiu Jiayi said, "I agree, but..."

"Since you admit it, there's nothing wrong with it!"

Han Tao interrupted her defense, and directly issued an ultimatum: "Now I give you two choices, one is to pay the lawyer's fee immediately and apologize, or wait for the trial!"

When Qiu Jiayi heard this, she backed off a little. She shouted fiercely, but she was actually very scared in her heart. If she was really reasonable, she wouldn't come here to make trouble.

At that time, her case indeed went to many lawyers, but no one was willing to take it, or the chance of winning was not great. Only Luo Yun, who was tortured by himself, led her to find Han Tao.

Although she won the case and helped her get back an unexpected amount of money, there was one thing she couldn't accept, that is, after Luo Yun went to court, he won the lawsuit with just a few words, but he wanted to charge her 180 million in legal fees. How could she be willing.

But she never expected that she would be sued by the lawyer in the house. When she received the call from the court, she was stunned, and said that the property preservation had frozen the funds in her account, and said that she should not be in a situation.

This made Qiu Jiayi fall into fear and anger, and then she consulted again, but all the lawyers knew that she was being prosecuted for owed lawyer fees, so they refused to accept her commission, and they were even unwilling to receive her, so she also knew to the seriousness of the problem.

In the end, with a fluke mentality, after repeated calculations, she decided to go here to make a fuss first, to see if she could use this to fight for less legal fees.

He had already seen what she was thinking, Han Tao didn't give her a chance to continue messing around, and continued: "Of course, I'm kindly reminding Ms. Qiu that you can go to the financial department of the law firm to make up the expenses now. Nothing happened.

If you still have this attitude, or refuse to pay as before, it is not just a matter of attorney fees, but also a series of other costs and credit investigation problems. "

"This... this... how could this happen!"

Qiu Jiayi was a little overwhelmed, especially after hearing what Han Tao said later, she faltered for a long time without saying anything.

Luo Yun saw that the matter was basically settled, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he gave her a step up and said, "Sister Jiayi, I know you must not understand, so I acted on the spur of the moment. I won't be confused anymore, I will accompany you to pay the fee, there are still some procedures that need your signature!"

"Oh, yes, yes, I really don't understand these things, and I will be impulsive when people fool me!"

Qiu Jiayi forced a smile on her face, and then followed Luo Yun to the finance department. Although she was reluctant, she still happily paid the lawyer's fee.

However, because of this episode, director Li Gongming made a special call to inquire and raised concerns. He felt that although the money was returned, it would affect the reputation of the law firm. After all, some law firms had sued their clients, but the final result outweighed the losses.

Hearing this, Han Tao explained the situation to him with a smile, and also explained the nature of the case. After all, it was not a commercial case, and the client was not an enterprise or any big company. It was just a divorce case, and the parties involved had no ability to drive public opinion.

What's more, I was just trying to scare her, because Han Tao had a good relationship with Fangting at the filing court, so they were willing to help, otherwise Qiu Jiayi wouldn't have received the call so quickly.

Li Gongming let go of his worries after hearing Han Tao's explanation, and then the two chatted about the future development of the law firm. They made an appointment to meet in the afternoon to meet Han Tao's succession, and ended the call.

...............

At the same time, in the chief lawyer's office, Bai Ning walked towards the master with a smile, Tang Ying looked up at her:
"What's wrong, you're smiling 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 he won the lawsuit, the person involved is planning to renege on the debt!"

Tang Ying put down the pen in her hand, frowned and asked, "All law firms will encounter this kind of thing, what's so funny?"

Hearing Director Tang's words, Bai Ning held back his smile, told her what happened, and then gloated:

"You said what happened to the people in the second group. They actually sued their client. Although the other party paid 180 million in legal fees under Director Han's lesson, they always have a bad reputation for suing their own clients. !"

"180 million legal fees? Recently, I am maintaining old clients. Didn't I know that divorce lawsuits also make money like this?"

The amount that Bai Ning said surprised Tang Ying, the deputy director. Even if he is a middle-level and junior partner lawyer, he may not be able to earn as much as this one case. After all, Luo Yun is not a well-known lawyer. Even Han Tao's apprentice couldn't be so awesome.

Bai Ning also reacted back, pouted and said, "Why would they come here to make trouble? The fee is 15.00%. Luo Yun came up with such a result in the first case of her debut. It is obvious that Director Han helped her build momentum. She is really someone in court. Easy to do.

Ms. Chen had Director Chen to take care of her before. She can use any good case source. Originally, the second team was going to collapse when Director Chen had an accident, and we can finally turn around.

Unexpectedly, the second group now has Director Han, which is better than before. Why does God favor Chen Ran so much! "

Knowing her apprentice's mind, and knowing the legal fees of this ordinary lawsuit, 80.00% of the lawyers are envious, but Tang Ying still hopes that she can enlarge the situation, especially when the law firm is facing major changes.

So thinking of Tang Ying here, I can only remind him: "Bai Ning, do you think I'm praising you for being smart, or are you saying you're too smart?"

"Master, what do you mean by this, I don't quite understand?"

Looking at Bai Ning's appearance, Tang Ying said patiently, "You still don't understand, the law firm is about to undergo major changes, and the probability of Han Tao becoming the director is 90.00%.

So, don't always put your mind on the second group, and gradually learn not to fight in a corner, and have a big picture.

I know that you want to compete for a high-ranking partner, and a high-ranking partner is also the best result for a lawyer, but if you participate now, it is not a good time. From the promotion plan of the second group, it can be seen that the future law firm system will have a great impact. reform. "

"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 that you will do the most suitable thing at the most suitable time, obviously your current state is not suitable for promotion to a senior partner, and it is meaningless for you to compare yourself with Chen Ran everywhere.

What you have to do now is to maintain your clients well, and then I will give you some more case sources. After the change of the law firm is over, you can get the position you want by relying on your excellent results. "

"Master, I understand what you mean...but..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. You don't have the ability to be promoted to a senior partner yet. Go get busy. I'll send you some information. You can fight for it yourself!"

After all, Tang Ying waved her hand and continued to work. Bai Ning's ability is indeed good, but her bearing and style are not big enough, so as a master, the last thing she wants to see is Bai Ning being overwhelmed by her competitive and jealous heart. It ruined a good future.

As the saying goes, "Small victories depend on wisdom, and great victories depend on virtue." Whether you are a senior member of the company or a manager, the biggest difference from before is that not only your own business ability is strong, but you also need to lead the team to achieve collective success and guide the development of the organization. The burden of direction.

The more senior managers are, the more tolerant and generous they need to be. Bai Ning's personality can make him a good lawyer, but he can't be a good leader. If she becomes a senior partner, the law firm will inevitably fall into a stronger power struggle. And this kind of internal friction will take away the overall interests of the company.
