Although Jiang Yilai didn't say anything, it warmed Fu Nanxiao's heart. Nothing made him feel more at ease than her pursuing gaze.
He was worried that Jiang Yilai would distance herself from him because of Li Luyao, but fortunately her heart remained unchanged.
That's enough.
I'm leaving now!
Jiang Yilai kept her head down as she organized the documents, nodding absentmindedly, but she didn't dare to look up at his expression again.
She only lifted the curtain when she heard the footsteps leaving, her heart pounding wildly. Her feelings for Fu Nanxiao seemed to have grown even stronger.
This feeling is like a wild beast trapped inside my body; it must be kept firmly under control. If it escapes, it will become uncontrollable.
The afternoon meeting was interrupted as soon as it started by someone pushing open the door.
"I'm sorry, but today's meeting will have to be canceled for the time being."
Everyone looked towards the doorway and saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing there, which made everyone tense and immediately stand up.
As someone working at a law firm, one would naturally know who the visitor is, and the fact that they were able to interrupt the meeting of the person in charge indicates that this person has a higher status and position.
Compared to the panic on everyone's faces, Jiang Yilai remained calm.
"President Sheng, what brings you here?"
This Mr. Sheng is none other than Sheng Hai, the founder of their law firm. They had tried to communicate with Jiang Yilai by phone several times without success, so they had no choice but to visit him in person.
Sheng Hai smiled slightly, but it couldn't hide his imposing presence.
He only needs to stand there, and everyone's heart is in their throat, caught in a tense situation.
Sheng Hai strode in, his eyes glancing at the meeting materials on the table. Sure enough, it was the same proposal he had opposed this time.
Since they won't listen to me, there's no need to keep them around.
"According to the company's decision, Director Jiang will be suspended from her duties starting today, and I will take over her work."
The meeting room erupted in noise upon hearing this. No one expected that headquarters would personally come to remove her from her post; it seemed rather inhumane.
Sheng Hai walked over to Jiang Yilai, then turned to his panicked colleagues and waved to calm them down.
"Of course, there's no need for panic. The company did this because Director Jiang was uncooperative and repeated attempts to communicate with him failed, which forced headquarters to issue this order. We hope you can understand."
This is meant to make an example of them, since no one has ever dared to go against them since the company was founded.
Jiang Yilai has only been back in the country for a short time and has just made a small name for herself, yet she dares to defy the company's orders. This is definitely unacceptable.
To prevent her from fueling this trend, we must nip this spark in the bud.
Of course, the most important thing is that only in this way can we truly stop her from continuing to fight lawsuits on behalf of her family.
Jiang Yilai smiled calmly and spoke with neither arrogance nor servility.
“I also feel that I was somewhat inappropriate this time, openly disobeying the orders of the higher-ups. I accept this punishment. Although I do not recommend that everyone follow my example, remember that we lawyers must never let our conscience be extinguished.”
After she finished speaking, she nodded to everyone. Now she could truly open her own law firm without any worries and no longer be restricted by others.
Sheng Hai frowned and said coldly, "After all, you are a long-time employee of the company. If you are willing to admit your mistake and guarantee that you will not disobey your superiors' orders in the future, I will consider rescinding my decision."
Jiang Yilai shook her head: "President Sheng, you don't need to consider it anymore. Besides, I finally understand why this law firm could drag out a case for so long in the past. It seems that your strategy is flawed."
