After the anger subsides, one must eventually regain composure.
Phil lowered his head and thought it over again and again, telling himself that he had to face reality.
“Bill, once the holiday is over, Robert Down will definitely resubmit the court date. Tomorrow morning, have someone go to the Economic Commission and get an explanation from them so we can continue to apply to the court for a postponement.”
"Okay, I'll take care of it the day after tomorrow."
Bill remained indifferent, showing no concern for Phil's earlier anger, and maintained a purely businesslike attitude.
"Hmph~ Hmph~"
Philip chuckled softly, his laughter gradually growing louder until his face turned completely red.
He shook his head, laughing at his own stupidity.
"Bill, I should have listened to you back then. I shouldn't have accepted that stock at all. Now I'm stuck in a limbo, and the stock is in the lock-up period."
He slowly lowered his head, rubbing his sparse hair on top of his head with both hands.
"Bill, I have a feeling I might go bankrupt."
Bill gave him a cold look for a while, and finally sighed.
"Philip, this is my last piece of advice: don't count on those wolves on the board. They won't leave you a single drop of soup. You'd better make plans soon."
“I remember you still have a bonus that you haven’t withdrawn. Hurry up and submit the application so that the CFO can approve it within a limited time. They are still counting on us to stay at our posts, and they don’t care about this small bonus. They won’t reject your application.”
"And what about you?"
Phil looked up at him.
"I will never allow them to arbitrarily deprive me of my rights."
Bill's smile was indifferent, and his attitude revealed that he had already recouped his profits.
It was only then that Phil remembered that the company had offered two agreements: he wanted equity, while Bill only wanted the right to receive dividends.
Thinking of Bill's enormous dividend income, he could only manage a bitter smile amidst his envy.
"I will submit the application tomorrow."
The law firm of R.T. has never denied the importance of holidays and has always adhered to the national holiday regulations.
However, those who have managed to establish themselves at Huating Law Firm don't care about having days off. Their time is not under their own control; it is entirely determined by their clients.
On the first working day, Yue Hongxin came to the court with the application and submitted a court hearing application on behalf of the client.
Before leaving, she found her senior from the law school.
"Senior Sister Hao!"
Yue Hongxin knocked on the glass door and saw that Senior Sister Hao looked up at her. She smiled and waved.
Hao Jinnan nodded to her, leaned over to say a few words to her colleague at the opposite table, and left the office area by opening the door.
"Hongxin, you've come to court today?"
"Senior Sister Hao, I'm here at the court today to submit my application materials."
Yue Hongxin looked at her senior sister in her uniform with amazement.
"Senior sister, your whole demeanor changed after you put on the uniform."
"Where is the imposing presence?"
Hao Jinnan chuckled softly.
"Come with me, I'll take you to the reception room to sit for a while."
This suggestion suited her perfectly, and Yue Hongxin happily followed suit.
Upon arriving at the reception area, Hao Jinnan poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.
"I heard you joined the law firm of Rhodes Law Firm."
"Hmm~"
Yue Hongxin nodded as she drank water: "I was very lucky. At that time, Qin Lu had just returned to China and she happened to be short of an assistant."
"You are indeed very lucky. Among your graduating class, apart from those who took the civil service exam, it seems that you were the one who got a job the easiest."
Hao Jinnan was two years ahead of Yue Hongxin. She took the exam twice before finally passing and joined the court last year. She is considered a newcomer in the court.
What documents did you bring to the court today?
"I'm here to submit the court hearing application to Huating Power and Shenglun International."
Yue Hongxin leaned closer to Hao Jinnan and whispered, "Senior sister, could you keep an eye on Shenglun International for me?"
"What's wrong?"
Hao Jinnan tilted her head in confusion.
"For some reason, Shenglun International has been delaying the court hearing without cause. I'm afraid they'll do the same thing again."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you."
Hao Jinnan readily agreed: "A close friend of mine happens to be in the courtroom. I'll ask him to keep an eye on things for me."
"Thanks, senior sister! I'll treat you to a meal sometime!"
Yue Hongxin beamed with joy and stood up to thank him repeatedly.
After leaving the court, Yue Hongxin went straight back to her law firm and reported to Attorney Qin what she had done at the court.
Qin Suisui smiled and chuckled, "Assistant Yue, thank you. Please go to the finance department and get an advance on the activity fund. Please thank your senior sister for me."
"No, no!"
Yue Hongxin quickly waved her hand, somewhat uneasy: "I haven't done anything, how can I get an advance?"
Qin Suisui smiled and stopped her, gesturing for Yue Hongxin to sit down.
"Assistant Yue, you may not have read the law firm's rules and regulations carefully. The law firm encourages our employees to serve the firm, and the firm is more than happy to cover any expenses incurred."
Yue Hongxin sat on the edge of the chair with her buttocks half-exposed, looking somewhat reserved.
“I have seen this rule.”
Qin Suisui: "Do you know why the law firm made this rule?"
Yue Hongxin shook her head blankly.
"Because every piece of information we unexpectedly obtain could be the most crucial piece of information that unlocks the key to solving a case."
"So you know how crucial the timing of information delivery is for law firms?"
Qin Lu's analysis finally made Yue Hongxin understand, and she nodded thoughtfully.
"Lawyer Qin, I understand, but can I get reimbursed afterwards?"
"sure."
Qin Suisui understood that newcomers to the workplace still retained their naivety and simplicity when facing tasks. She appreciated this purity and hoped that Assistant Yue's simplicity would remain unchanged.
Upon receiving Qin Lu's affirmation, Yue Hongxin's face was overflowing with joy, and she smiled discreetly with her lips pursed.
"Attorney Qin, Attorney Wang and the others are scheduled to come to the law firm at 3 PM to sign the contract. I've arranged for the signing to take place in the small conference room. Is that alright with you?"
"Can."
Qin Suisui stopped typing: "Has Cheng Yifei made arrangements for Fan Jing and her husband?"
Yue Hongxin: "It's all arranged. He just went to pick up Fan Jing and her husband. Cheng Yifei said he'll take Fan Jing and her husband back to the law firm after lunch."
"Okay, I understand."
Qin Suisui continued checking the documents without looking up.
"Assistant Yue, it's lunch break time. Why don't you go and have lunch first?"
"Lawyer Qin, would you like me to bring this for you?"
"No need, I don't want to eat lunch right now."
Qin Suisui was so busy today that she lost her appetite. She had an agreement to sign with Jingzhou Hospital this afternoon, and once it was signed, Fan Jing's dispute would be resolved.
In any case, since the incident has already happened and the outcome cannot be changed, a little more compensation can at least provide some financial comfort to that ordinary, impoverished family.
Zhang Lan's investigation report also needs her final decision in the next two days, and she feels that she doesn't have enough time at all and is overwhelmed.
