You’re Fired!

Chapter 14.3 “Husband? Where’s my husband? What are you talking about?”

Bai Duanduan pursed her lips, and simply gave up, “Teacher Lin, I know that since half a year ago, you wanted to promote the marketing route in the B City branch. But I obstructed and resisted from doing so. You have been very opinionated about me. But don’t you think that it’s not a responsible attitude towards the law at all? 

“For the head office of such a reputable law firm to engage in this kind of thing, to completely turn the work of the law firm into entertainment, and even to come up with some kind of script to make up stories? How is a diligent lawyer supposed to do honest work with so much chaos in the background and without getting interrupted by the ongoing recording procedure? And during the shooting and filming, who can guarantee that the sensitive information of the client has not been accidentally exposed already?”

As expected, Lin Hui’s face sank, “Bai Duanduan, you are only a commission lawyer of ZhaoHui. I am the one who runs the firm. Marketing is a sure way to increase the firm’s popularity. After ZhaoHui started to participate in these marketing operations, the business volume has increased more than double. If ZhaoHui wants to continue to move forward, it is necessary to promote its brand name. You’re not a partner, so your approval for marketing is not needed. Just get out if you have nothing better to do.”

And just as Bai Duanduan was about to turn around and leave, Lin Hui’s voice rang out once again, “And don’t call me Teacher Lin anymore. I’ve been out of university for many years and you’re no longer my student.”

“I know that during the founding days of ZhaoHui, you also suffered and sacrificed a lot. But people can’t rely on their merit and on past achievements to feel that they are qualified enough to advise ZhaoHui on what to do next. You told me that there is a limit to your tolerance, and so is mine.”

Bai Duanduan was taken aback, and looked at Lin Hui in disbelief, but the other party did not look up and didn’t even bother to give herself another look.

Bai Duanduan bit her lips tightly and pulled her hand to open the door.

It was true that she had overstepped her bounds by storming into Lin Hui’s office and calling out, but hadn’t she done so every time in the past? Even for her own dissent and persistence, Lin Hui did not go to the fork in the road many times without being self-willed. The final thoughts on the handling of several big cases that made ZhaoHui famous were even due to her own risky and straightforward words, which prevented Lin Hui from capsizing in the gutter.

Because of this kindness, she doesn’t want to see ZhaoHui become more and more biased. Even from a commercial point of view, the business and income generation are getting better and better, but Bai Duanduan always feels that in order to win as a lawyer, it was necessary to uphold the bottom line of the principle of justice. Many practices were indeed not illegal, but they are too inferior and not worth advocating.

Forget it, if she can’t change Lin Hui, then at least she shouldn’t change herself for that reason.

Bai Duanduan gathered her emotions and cheered up again. She sat down and began to immerse herself in the compensation plan for the dismissal of the 300 employees.

The next case would be against Ji Lin again, and this time she couldn’t lose.

Bai Duanduan wanted Lin Hui to know that she was different from Du Xinyi. That she could win fairly, and that she didn’t need to rely on such unorthodox tactics.

____________________

A labor dispute involving 300 employees was a major case, both in terms of the target amount and social impact. Once it was done, it will basically be regarded as a benchmark in the industry. For senior lawyers, it was like an icing on the cake for their professional career. For young lawyers, it was a good opportunity to climb the social ladder. 

Lin Hui’s intention to promote Du Xinyi was obvious when he asked her to work with Bai Duanduan on this case.

Du Xinyi was not stupid either. She has almost no interest in cases where the target amount is small, and not heavy enough. Usually even if Lin Hui places her in the rest of the lawyer’ team, she relies on other lawyers to do all the brainstorming work while she would just lie down and enjoy the end result—-

In short, she wouldn’t not be responsible for the specific case management or would never actively take part in any case, but she would be willing to participate in the final share.

And now that Bai Duanduan has such a big case at hand, she was itching to get involved in it anyhow.

Bai Duanduan thought it would be good to have someone to help with this case, but she was having a hard time with Du Xinyi’s involvement.

Bai Duanduan originally allocated 50 employees to Du Xinyi, asking her to help her calculate the financial compensation for the dismissal. However, after Du Xinyi brought in the calculation results, Bai Duanduan double-checked them and got nearly one third wrong.

In the end, Bai Duanduan could only resign herself to the fact that she had to do all 300 employees’ proposals by herself.

“In two days, we will have the first negotiation with Ji Lin. He is acting for the company and he will definitely find ways to find the flaws of our employees in order to lower the price.” Bai Duanduan came up with a good plan. “I have listed all possible points of attack for each employee, and I have also made a response plan. Whether the company is willing to settle in the end or decide to go through arbitration and litigation, we can at least ensure that employees must get a full amount of economic compensation. For 300 employees, we must go all out for each of them.”

Although she did not see eye to eye with Du Xinyi, Bai Duanduan always believed in a clear distinction between public and private matters. As long as Du Xinyi was willing to learn, she would not shirk from her responsibility and refuse to teach.

“You can take a look at this overall plan, and get familiar with it. 

Although this time the employees as a whole have elected one of their worker members as their representatives who will defend their rights, the subsequent company may not be able to accept each employee’s plan. There may be talk about lowering the price. At this time, personalized communication is required. We must first confirm each employee’s acceptance of the enterprise settlement plan one by one. Therefore, you and I each need to be responsible for the communication of some employees, and have an understanding of the situation of each employee.”

Du Xinyi accepted the settlement plan made by Bai Duanduan and nodded, “The person we are going to meet today is the employee’s representative?”

“Yes, Song Lianjun, who has worked in Simon Paper for 12 years. He is a very well liked veteran. The rest of the employees unanimously agreed for him to be elected as a representative to communicate about the layoffs.”

Du Xinyi rolled her eyes thoughtfully, “Oh”.

And as soon as her voice fell, Song Lianjun arrived.

“Sorry, lawyer Bai, lawyer Du, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I was delayed for a while.”

He was a middle-aged man who looked rather good natured at first, dressed plainly and wearing a pair of glasses on his nose. For the pre negotiation communication with the company, Bai Duanduan chose to meet in the western restaurant which was just below the law firm, and it had a nice and calm environment.

Song Lianjun was a very good communicator. Within half an hour, Bai Duanduan made it clear to him one by one the current situation, precautions and follow up feedback for each claim that Simon Paper may make.

Bai Duanduan was relieved when she met such a sensible client. She looked at the time and complained, “Why hasn’t the food been served yet? Wait a minute, I’ll go to the bar and check it for myself.”

    I’m pining for her to win this round, but Du Xinyi at the side makes me feel everything will go wrongggg

    Linhui is an ungrateful person ,really not worth her dedication. She should resign soon and let him regret later when he meets his doom.
    I have a premonition that Jilin is in a revenge plot to destroy him, so his own attitude would only make Jinli’s scheme work faster.

      I think she will quit the firm, not for now, but I think it will Be an accumulation of situations and ungratefulness towards her that will make her quit. I think she may go to ji lin’s firm possibly. Let’s wait and see

    Obviously she is not appreciated and fairly treated there. Girl up, look for a new job, and send your resignation letter
