Li Gongming took Ye Haoran into his office.
His office is not big. He can barely accommodate a desk and a set of sofas, but there is no other space.
Ye Haoran sat down and watched Li Gongming make tea.
After a while, Ye Haoran took the teacup handed by Li Gongming.
Looking at the tea cup in his hand, Ye Haoran knew that Li Gongming was also a tea lover.
One bubble of water, two bubbles of tea, three bubbles and four bubbles are the essence.
The crystal clear tea exudes a fresh fragrance.
And there is also something special about pouring tea. Pour the tea 70% full, and 30% is true.
If someone fills your tea cup, it means they don't take you seriously.
Ye Haoran took a brief sip and put down the tea cup. Then he said: "Director Li should understand my purpose. If we continue to compete, Mingtang will lose. I don't want to accept an empty shell, which will lose its meaning."
Li Gongming nodded and said with some embarrassment: "I know this too, but the opinions of the partners are also very important. If I insist on suing for the merger, these partners will have to leave. The gains outweigh the losses."
Ye Haoran asked in detail: "Is Director Tang's opposition the strongest?"
Li Gongming nodded with a headache.
Ye Haoran rolled his eyes and had an idea, and said, "I'm here just in time, why don't you ask Director Tang to come and chat with us?"
Li Gongming knew that Ye Haoran wanted to persuade Director Tang, but he didn't know if he could.
Since Ye Haoran wanted to give it a try, Li Gongming also made it possible for him, calling his apprentice Song Xiu and saying, "Go and call Director Tang."
After Song Xiu came in, he stared at Xu Jie and didn't even listen to Li Gongming's words.
This is not the first time Song Xiu meets Xu Jie.
When Xu Jie first came to Shanghai, he went to the police station to pick up someone while interfering in a bar. He fell in love with Xu Jie after just one glance.
Unfortunately, Xu Jie only worked for one day before switching jobs to other law firms.
This made Song Xiu sad for a while, but he didn't expect to meet again today.
"Song Xiu! Song Xiu!!!"
Li Gongming scolded: "Why are you dazed! Why don't you go quickly!"
Ye Haoran looked at Song Xiu as if he were a fool.
This was the first time he had seen Song Xiu, the number one 'licker'. Others licked him with concern and tried their best to be a warm man.
Song Xiu is different, he licks hard, like an iron rod can be licked into needles.
Even a straight man is not enough to express his honesty.
Xu Jie quietly moved closer to Ye Haoran. She didn't want Ye Haoran to misunderstand.
It's not her fault that she's beautiful.
Li Gongming laughed awkwardly and said, "My apprentice is a bit silly, don't mind."
Ye Haoran agreed with a smile: "Very good! Very good!"
He didn't know how to praise it, so he could only chime in with a few words.
Xu Jie looked at the two people chatting awkwardly and couldn't help laughing for a while.
It directly resolved the embarrassment between the two of them.
After a while, Song Xiu came to the house with an elderly female lawyer.
Li Gongming hurriedly said: "Director Tang, let me introduce you, this is Director Ye of Haozheng Law Firm."
"Hello, Director Tang!"
Ye Haoran stood up and said hello.
The two of them nodded and sat on the sofa. Li Gongming poured the tea. Just as Ye Haoran was about to speak, he saw Song Xiu still standing in the room.
Suddenly I didn't know what to say.
This was the first time he saw such a blind person.
Li Gongming scolded again: "Why are you standing there, why don't you go to work!"
"Oh! Master, if you need something, call me!"
Song Xiu, who was reluctant to leave, still couldn't stay and was kicked out directly.
After Song Xiu left, Ye Haoran said: "Director Tang, I want to talk to you about mergers and acquisitions. I don't know what concerns Director Tang has. Let's talk about it and we will study it together."
Director Tang thought for a moment before saying: "After Mingtang's merger, it is no longer Mingtang, and we, the partners, are no longer partners of Mingtang."
Ye Haoran took a sip of tea and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what Director Tang meant.
Seeing the reluctance in Li Gongming's eyes, he immediately understood.
So he said with a smile: "Director Tang has misunderstood. The acquisition of Mingtang is not to drive away the old heroes."
Director Tang asked: "After the merger, can we still have the final say? Director Ye must treat me like a child."
The words were rude, but Ye Haoran was not angry. As long as he was willing to communicate, it meant there was still room for him.
Ye Haoran looked at Director Tang and said with a smile: "Haozheng has its own merger and acquisition process. Talents like Director Tang usually go to other law firms to be top leaders, and they can also be promoted to senior partners at the headquarters, and they can get two jobs The bonus is equivalent to giving room for advancement in disguise."
Li Gongming echoed: "That's true. Last time you left when you were angry and didn't even give me a chance to introduce you."
Director Tang is now the deputy director of Mingtang. If she could be promoted to the position of director, of course she would be willing to do so. However, she still had some concerns and asked directly: "Isn't it just for a small law firm to deal with it?"
"Of course not." Ye Haoran heard about the drama and hurriedly said: "We divide the law firm into three levels: junior high, high school and high. According to the geographical location and number of people, Director Tang can be directly promoted to the director of the intermediate law firm. There is a two-year evaluation period. As long as you are qualified, you can be promoted to senior law firm director.”
Director Tang was also a little moved, but she, who had been through many trials and hardships, did not show it immediately.
Ye Haoran continued to persuade: "After all, high-end law firms are limited, so of course the sooner the better."
Director Tang asked: "To be promoted to the director of a senior law firm, do you need to transfer positions?"
What she asked was the core question. Lawyers are very dependent on interpersonal relationships. If you work in one place for a period of time and suddenly change law firms, it is equivalent to starting over.
Ye Haoran and Li Na have already considered this.
So the answer was: "No, the headquarters will allocate funds to expand directly in the original law firm. The office space and staff expansion will be allocated by the director himself."
Director Tang asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid that no money will be left behind?"
Ye Haoran shook his head: "The branch will be supervised by the headquarters, but will not participate in management. Finance and administration are separate."
Director Tang nodded matter-of-factly.
If everything is managed by the branch director, then the headquarters has lost control, which is obviously unreasonable.
Only supervision can play an effective role. Regular audits and inspections can ensure strict management.
People who can sit in the position of director are people who have a certain desire for power.
Now that Ye Haoran has given him a higher position, everyone will think about it carefully.
Ye Haoran didn't expect Mingtang to give an answer today.
He stood up and said, "It's getting late, Director Li and Director Tang. You two can discuss it slowly. If you are interested, we can make an appointment again."
"Okay, I'll send Director Ye off."
"No, you stay."
Ye Haoran smiled and waved, leading Xu Jie out of Mingtang Law Firm.
Song Xiu, who was following behind, hesitated to speak, obviously wanting to talk to Xu Jie.
After Xu Jie noticed it, she quickly hugged Ye Haoran's arm.
Her ex-boyfriend was already troublesome enough, but Xu Jie was afraid that Ye Haoran would throw her into the cold palace.
If she is assigned to Yishenghe Law Firm in Xiazhou, it will be difficult for her to come back.
