Hongda Company was jointly established by Mr. Li and several other shareholders. At the time of its establishment, Mr. Li held 30% of the shares. Under such circumstances, unless Mr. Li disposes of his shares, the percentage should not change unless it is a normal capital increase.
The problem now is that, without Mr. Li's consent, the other shareholders diluted Mr. Li's original shares through a false capital increase. What they need to do is collect evidence to help Mr. Li get his shares back.
From Ye Xinning's professional perspective, she didn't think it was a particularly difficult case. Moreover, it was Mr. Li who initially approached their law firm to propose cooperation, but after they arrived in Beicheng, he suddenly regretted it. After going through this whole process, Ye Xinning couldn't quite figure out Mr. Li's true thoughts.
"Attorney Ye, let me put it this way, I was a bit impulsive when I first decided to work with your firm. However, the discussions after we met didn't go very smoothly, so I thought it might be better to find a local law firm in Beicheng."
Ye Xinning clasped her hands together and smiled gently, "Mr. Li, is it that you don't trust me, or Xiao Chen's business?"
“I had heard of Attorney Xiao’s reputation before, and I trust his professional abilities.”
Ye Xinning understood.
So, this means they don't trust her abilities.
Ye Xinning hadn't encountered this situation in a long time. Before returning to Nancheng, she stayed in Scotland, where her professional abilities were never questioned. Later, because Shen Lin decided to return to Nancheng for a marriage alliance, her career focus shifted to Nancheng. In Nancheng, she handled many thorny cases, but because of the relationship between the Shen family and the Ye family, she rarely publicized them. After all, in that environment, it was impossible to rule out that many people viewed others with prejudice.
She smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, it was my abilities that made Mr. Li hesitate. Of course, I can understand his doubts since he hasn't had any prior experience with us."
"I'm glad that Attorney Ye understands, but I went back and did a very detailed review. I also looked at some of Attorney Ye's cases, and they were all handled very well."
"Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Li. Shall we continue our discussion of the case?"
"Okay, no problem."
After nearly two hours, Ye Xinning and Mr. Li had discussed the cooperation in detail and basically finalized the agreement.
After the deal was finalized and a cooperation agreement was signed, Ye Xinning shook hands with Mr. Li to say goodbye.
"Mr. Xiao will contact you regarding the next steps. We can discuss any questions you may have. We will handle the preliminary preparations for the case properly and will definitely not let Mr. Li down."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Attorney Ye. I have other things to take care of, so I'll be leaving now."
Goodbye, Mr. Li.
Watching Mr. Li's departing figure, Ye Xinning seemed to remember something and spoke again, "Mr. Li, is there something I can ask you?"
"Attorney Ye, please go ahead?"
"Aside from my abilities, what was the real reason you decided to meet me?"
Mr. Li smiled and replied, "Please give my regards to Mr. Chen for me, Attorney Ye."
Ye Xinning stood there, watching Mr. Li's departing figure, his mind filled with Mr. Li's words.
If she still can't understand what someone has said so clearly, then she's truly a fool.
Sinking...
So, it was Shen Lin who gave Mr. Li instructions, which is why Mr. Li was willing to meet with her and have further conversations.
She rubbed her forehead, never expecting that the reason she was able to successfully negotiate this case was because of Shen Lin.
At this moment, she was filled with mixed feelings. Why did Shen Lin step forward to help her? Didn't he hate her? What was his purpose in doing so?
She sighed, thinking about the event that evening, and decided to ask Shen Lin about it properly later.
On the way back to the hotel, Ye Xinning called Xiao Chen to inform him of the progress of the case. Xiao Chen was surprised that she had resolved it so quickly and expressed his admiration for her.
"Not bad. I originally thought there was no hope. Attorney Ye is really capable."
Ye Xinning leaned against the back of the car, her tone somewhat weak, "Do you know how I got the cooperation agreement? It was Shen Lin who put in a good word for Mr. Li."
Xiao Chen hadn't expected Shen Lin to make a move. He held the phone and remained silent for a moment.
"Never mind, it's not a very important issue. The most important thing is that the cooperation agreement was successfully signed."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work. We'll discuss the details when we get back."
After briefly speaking with Xiao Chen, Ye Xinning hung up the phone and stared blankly out the car window.
...
evening.
Wenzhu came to pick her up from the hotel, bringing her clothes and a professional stylist.
Seeing such a grand event, she couldn't help but ask Wenzhu curiously, "What kind of activity is tonight?"
"It was a charity dinner hosted by Mr. Shen's friend."
A friend's birthday party? Ye Xinning wasn't very familiar with Shen Lin's circle of friends, but she remembered that it was in Beicheng.
Sheng Ting, the young master of the Sheng family.
"Madam, let's begin." Once the stylist was ready, the ceremony officially began. After a flurry of styling, Ye Xinning and Wen Zhu headed to the venue for the party.
Upon arriving at the entrance, Wenzhu opened the car door for her. Ye Xinning got out of the car, lifting her dress, and immediately spotted Shen Lin and Sheng Ting surrounded by a crowd.
As the protagonist of such an event, Sheng Ting wore a blue suit and exuded a noble air.
Standing next to him was Shen Lin, dressed in a black suit. When she looked over, their eyes met. Ye Xinning felt a strange sensation in her heart and subconsciously clenched her hands.
Shen Lin strode towards her, and very naturally reached out and put his arm around her waist.
Wenzhu prepared a blue and white strapless dress. With her fair skin, exquisite makeup, and long hair draped over her shoulders, she exuded a cool and unique temperament.
Many people present turned their attention to her. Ye Xinning was already used to such occasions. With Shen Lin present, it was inevitable that she would be the center of attention.
Shen Lin led her towards Sheng Ting, asking as he spoke, "What did you do this afternoon?"
"Go to sleep." After meeting Mr. Li in the morning, she went back to the hotel and slept all afternoon.
Shen Lin glanced down at her, probably not expecting her to be able to sleep so much.
The two quickly arrived in front of Sheng Ting, who waved to her with a smile.
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Ye Xinning greeted him calmly and generously, "Hello, Young Master Sheng."
"You're too kind, sister-in-law. The event is about to start, please come in."
Shen Lin nodded, and the three of them walked inside together.
After taking her seat, Ye Xinning thought about Shen Linlai's itinerary and was about to ask something when a female voice suddenly rang out above her head.
"Shen Lin?"
