Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

This is the best we can do. After all, there is not much money left in the company account. If Mr. Wan can't solve this problem, we will be in trouble ourselves!"

Gu Jia did things so perfectly that although Xu Huanshan was reluctant, he had nothing to say and could only remain silent.

Gu Jia knew that Xu Huanshan was a little depressed and angry when she mentioned Mr. Wan again, so she could only comfort him:

"Hubby, I know you've worked hard over the years and have been under a lot of pressure. Believe me, we can definitely get through this.

As for the negotiations and the money, don't worry about it. I'll figure it out, and you just focus on getting your design right!"

"Wife, you've been the one who's worked the hardest. We've gotten through all these years and so many things. I believe we'll be able to get through this time too!"

After saying that, Xu Huanshan hugged Gu Jia, but he didn't realize that there was a problem in the relationship between him and Gu Jia.

The reason why it did not break out was simply because it was temporarily suppressed when the company was facing a crisis.

Once something has cracks, it is difficult to repair. It will only get bigger and bigger until it completely breaks.

Chapter 150 Han Tao's Law Firm Planning

At two o'clock in the afternoon, in Lujiazui, Shanghai, inside Mingtang Law Firm.

Han Tao first held a meeting with the members of Group 2, then communicated with Chen Ran and Liu Fang individually, and assigned some of Jingyan Group's work and daily cases to Chen Ran.

After leaving the meeting room, Han Tao took the materials he had sorted out in advance and went directly to the office of Li Gongming, the director of the law firm.

Boom boom boom!

"Please come in!"

After a few knocks on the door, Li Gongming's voice came from the office, calling for someone to come in!

Han Tao pushed the door open and saw Director Li discussing legal aid with his apprentice Song Xiu. So he didn't disturb them and just shouted:

"Director Li!"

"Han Lu is here, please sit here for a while and let me tell you something!"

Director Li greeted Han Tao and then said to his apprentice Song Xiu:

"That's all for today. I will seriously consider the issue you raised.

As for the free-dining case, I'll leave it to you. If you have any questions, come to me. Go get busy!"

"Okay, Master, I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Han Lu!"

Song Xiu nodded, said hello to Han Tao and Li Gongming, turned around and walked out of the office with a reluctant look on his face.

"Goodbye, Lawyer Song. If Director Li is too busy, please go to Team 2 and find Lawyer Chen or you can come to me if you need help!"

Han Tao looked at his expression and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Although Li Gongming was Song Xiu's master, he not only asked Song Xiu to do odd jobs every day, but also asked Song Xiu to hand over the cases in his hands to other colleagues many times.

Moreover, he never let Song Xiu take over major cases, but only let him mediate minor disputes, such as the dine-and-dine case just mentioned.

Although Song Xiu was reluctant to do the mediation work, he chose to do it out of gratitude and appreciation for his master.

When watching the drama before, many netizens said that Li Gongming was deliberately suppressing Song Xiu and had no intention of supporting Song Xiu at all.

However, in Han Tao's opinion, the reason why Li Gongming did not hand over the big case to Song Xiu was also for Song Xiu's own good.

After all, Song Xiu's mind is too simple, and he lacks social experience. Once Li Gongming gives Song Xiu a big case, he is likely to fall into someone else's trap.

In fact, this is what a lawyer’s job is like. When they first enter the industry, they start with small cases and slowly accumulate their social experience.

Han Tao's current achievements were due to his connections and accumulation of experience. However, his starting point and opportunities were indeed higher than those of Song Xiu and most interns.

Because the brothers and sisters who graduated from the Handong Political Science and Law Department are relatively united both in school and in society.

In addition, the seniors were also willing to give advice, so Han Tao started learning from some of his seniors since his sophomore year.

I spent most of my weekends and summer and winter vacations in the law firm. Although I couldn't take cases on my own at that time, I participated in a lot of legal publicity, public welfare assistance, and support work.

Just as he was lost in his memories, Director Li put away the documents on the table, walked over to sit across from Han Tao with a smile, and asked:

"Han Lu, is everything going well at Jingyan Group? What did you come here to talk to me about?"

"Director Li, this is the case I recently took over. Most of the people in Group 2 have already shifted their focus, but we still don't have enough manpower.

As you know, there are only a few core members left in Group 2, so I contacted some fellow students and fellow apprentices, all of whom are mature lawyers with rich experience.

So I'd like to ask you for some interns, and I'm looking for three to four junior partners, and one or two second-level partners. Here are their profiles for you to take a look at. If you have no objection, I'll arrange for them to come in for interviews."

As Han Tao spoke, he handed the document in his hand to the director of the law firm, Li Gongming.

"No problem. I've already said this at the senior partners' meeting. As the chief lawyer, you'll have to make the final decision on Group 2's work.

As for junior partners, you can join directly as long as you think it is suitable.

But regarding the issue of second-level partners, I will discuss it at the senior partners' meeting tomorrow.

But I don't think it's a big problem. After all, according to the information you provided, Lawyer Luo is also a second-level partner of a well-known law firm.

You're also a lawyer who specializes in divorce cases, which is a popular profession right now. I personally welcome you to join our team. Go ahead and do it. I fully support you!"

Li Gongming took a look at the information and then politely replied to Han Tao.

Then he put the resume aside and smiled as he looked through the case Han Tao was currently handling.

"Han Lu, you've come to our rescue! I think we should hold this signing conference as soon as possible. You don't know that Lao Chen's case has not been resolved yet, but the aftereffects have already begun to show.

I met with Mr. Wan from Feilaiyin Company, a major client that Group 2 was previously responsible for. He expressed his intention to change law firms.

If a large company like Jingyan Group endorsed it at this time, the situation would be well under control..."

After saying that, Li Gongming looked at Han Tao seriously and felt very happy for a moment.

After all, companies of Jingyan's level are clients that major law firms are trying their best to win over.

With the recognition of this asset tycoon in the real estate industry, the law firm will not be short of cases in the short term, and the real estate industry is one of the best client resources for the law firm.

It can even be said that there are so many cases at companies of this level that Group 2 is simply overwhelmed.

In fact, it is no wonder that Li Gongming attaches so much importance to it. The current famous law firm has doubled his pressure.

At noon, when having lunch with Mr. Wan from Feilaiyin, the other party asked about Chen Wenguang's case without any reservation, and his implication was that he wanted to change the law firm.

"No problem. Mr. Ye had previously planned to officially announce that our law firm would be joining Jingyan Group.

But I've postponed this matter. My thinking is, I should wait until the case at hand is almost done, while the industry is paying attention, and then announce the signing while the iron is hot. "That way, the effect will be better, right?"

“I agree with your idea, but Han Lu, the other cases of Group 2 can be postponed, but this matter must be taken seriously.

Since you want to make a successful start with this case, my law firm and I will fully support you and will fully cooperate with you in any resources you need.

However, Jiang Yunsheng is not easy to deal with, mainly because of his complicated background. If we can successfully snatch some meat from Long An's mouth, it will be like a shot of adrenaline for Mingtang. For Mingtang, it will be like a life-saving medicine!

Han Tao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director, I have done a lot of work and have enough confidence to solve this case perfectly.

But don't tell other partners about this case for now. Once the news leaks out and Long An is prepared, all my efforts will be in vain.

We'll make the announcement once this case is settled and everything is set in stone. Given the current state of the law firm, we must maintain stability!"

"I understand that. You're the lead attorney for Team 2, so just go for it. As for me, I absolutely and unconditionally support your decision. If there's anything, we can talk directly!"

Considering the current situation of the law firm and the covetous eyes of rival law firms, Li Gongming suppressed his excitement, nodded, and agreed with Han Tao's suggestion.

"That's it, I'm leaving now, Director Li, you can get busy!"

After saying that, Han Tao picked up the documents, said goodbye, and walked out of Director Li Gongming's office.

Chapter 151 Law Firm Trivia: Chen Ran and Bai Ning

At the same time, in the first office area of ​​Mingtang Law Firm, Lawyer Bai Ning hurried to the office of Deputy Director Tang Ying and knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

Deputy Director Tang Ying put down the documents in her hand, shouted, looked up at her and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"

"Master!"

Bai Ning walked to the opposite side of her desk, sat down, and said:

"Did you know? Director Li made an appointment with Director Wan today, and the two of them had lunch together..."

"I've told you many times to stay calm! Fei Laiyin is definitely going to change law firms this time. This kind of big client change is disadvantageous for every law firm.

At this critical juncture, it's perfectly normal for Director Li to go to Director Wan for dinner to maintain their relationship!"

Tang Ying interrupted Bai Ning, scolded her, and then analyzed the situation to her.

"I see, Master. Am I not anxious?"

Bai Ning nodded, thought for a moment and replied:

"Now that Director Chen is in trouble, do you think Director Li can handle Director Wan?

Or if Director Li takes care of General Wan, will the task be handed back to Group 2?

After all, their team now has a very capable chief lawyer to lead the work, and it is no longer a loose group!"

"I understand your thoughts, but I don't think your previous work was in vain."

Deputy Director Tang Ying looked at his favorite student, comforted him, and then asked thoughtfully:

"By the way, how's the situation over there? Has President Wan contacted you recently?"

"We did get in touch, but he just sent me WeChat messages and exchanged greetings. He didn't show me any intention of not cooperating.

"Master, aren't you being a bit too low-key about this matter? You have such a good relationship with Chairman Wan's wife, why don't you fight for it?"

After all, changes in major clients are very important to every law firm, but Bai Ning knows that his ability is not enough to change Chairman Wan's mind.

That's why she suggested that her master Tang Ying, the deputy director, should try harder, after all, her master was on good terms with Mr. Wan's wife.

But Bai Ning only thought that Fei Laiyin was a big client and how to snatch the case source from Group 2, forgetting the most important point, which is the consequences of internal obstacles.

But how could Tang Ying, a senior partner and the chief lawyer of this group, not see it? So she pressed her palm, signaling Bai Ning to calm down, and then she pondered for a long time before speaking:

"Don't worry about this, let me think about it!"

"Okay, then you should think about it carefully!"

Bai Ning nodded and was about to say goodbye to Tang Ying, but suddenly thought of something and spoke again:

"By the way, Master, Han Lu has been at the law firm all morning today. I even saw him go to Director Li's office earlier."

I didn't expect him to be so capable. I heard that he has been taking over the legal work of Jingyan Group recently. Now the focus of Group 2 has shifted there. The few small cases with little profit that I assigned to him were all taken over by Liu Fang.

It's really unpredictable. With Han Lu as our chief lawyer, our Miss Chen will once again look down on this kind of case!"

Bai Ning is very competitive. She has always regarded Chen Ran as an imaginary enemy, a girl from the countryside with no family connections, no connections, and no background.

She relied entirely on herself to get into university in Shanghai, and after graduation she stayed in Shanghai to work at a well-known law firm. She started as an intern, serving tea, running errands, and visiting the site. She took one step at a time, and it took her nearly 10 years to achieve what she has today!

However, the result she got was not as high as Chen Ran's starting point. She and Chen Ran joined Mingtang on the same day. Because of his father Chen Wenguang, Chen Ran already had Bai Ning's current status from the beginning.

"I know you think Chen Ran is always superior to you because of Director Chen's relationship, but have you ever considered that connections and relationships are also part of personal strength?

Don't always focus on this one problem of hers. The important thing is to do your own job well.

We must also learn to be generous, not care about trivial matters, be serious and steady, be strict with ourselves, and be tolerant of others.

You are different from people like Han Lu. If you want to compete for senior partner, interpersonal relationships are very important, and your promotion requires voting.

But you don't have to worry too much. As long as you work hard, with me as your master, you will achieve your wish one day!"

Director Tang knew that Bai Ning had always looked down on Chen Ran, and that this apprentice was very capable, but his mentality was not right.

Therefore, I had to give her a warning in real time to prevent her from losing the big picture and all her years of hard work going to waste.

"I understand, Master. Thank you for your guidance and care. I'm going to work!"

Bai Ning was still somewhat unwilling to accept this. It was obvious that she had similar abilities to Chen Ran, so why were all the good resources going to her?

Previously, Chen Ran's career had been smooth sailing thanks to the protection of Chen Wenguang, the founding partner and lead attorney of Team 2. Fortunately, Lawyer Chen got into trouble, and now she has the opportunity to compete fairly with Chen Ran.

Chen Ran, the arrogant young lady, even went out to get cases herself and handed out business cards like a trainee lawyer. The economy was also facing a crisis at one point, and the law firm's previously provided car was also repossessed.
