If possible, Jiang Yilai would rather not play against him in court, as the outcome would definitely affect their relationship.
There are no saints in this world. Lawsuits are all about winning and losing, and no loser can face it calmly.
However, Ye Tao also had his own ideas.
“Lai Lai, this is the first case that President Sheng arranged for me to take over the law firm after I returned to China. It’s unrealistic for me to ask someone else to take it over.”
That makes sense, and Jiang Yilai couldn't refute it.
Ye Tao quickly added, "We used to be the best partners, and I don't want to meet like this in the end. Your firm has other lawyers, so you can leave it to them."
Jiang Yilai frowned slightly. He and Ye Tao were once the two aces of Shengshi Agency, so he was well aware of his strength.
In this case, she only has a 50% chance of appearing in court to defend the family. If it were someone else, the situation would be hard to say, let alone Ye Tao defending the Liu family.
Jiang Yilai suddenly felt that this phone call was not accidental. Someone as shrewd as Ye Tao would definitely understand the situation after learning from her experience.
Therefore, he knew all along that his opponent was himself, which is why he wanted to replace him.
As adults, it's polite to see through things but not say them out loud!
"What Brother Tao said makes a lot of sense. It's just that there's been too much going on at the law firm lately, and everyone has their own work to do, so I'm the only one who can handle it."
"So, in the end, we'll have to see each other in court. You know my personality."
“Ever since I left Shengshi, I knew that I would eventually come to this point, so it’s better to get used to it in advance.”
"It's a pity, because this means I won't be able to enjoy wine and chat with you."
"There will still be opportunities after the case is closed. I just hope that at that time, no matter who wins or loses, it won't affect our relationship."
"Of course, then see you next time."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yilai felt heavy-hearted. She could tell that Ye Tao didn't want to fight her, but he had no choice because of his position.
Sheng Hai has always wanted to suppress them, and these are problems that will have to be faced sooner or later.
Looking at the documents on the table, Jiang Yilai realized that she needed to be more prepared after understanding the other party's identity.
As darkness fell, Jiang Yilai was still preparing the final documents.
Knock knock~
The office door opened, and Jiang Yilai looked up to see Fu Nanxiao waving at her.
"I was right. As long as you have cases on your hands, working overtime becomes the norm."
"Why are you here?"
Fu Nanxiao held up the bag full of food and laughed heartily, "I thought you must be very tired, so I came to treat you."
Fu Nanxiao put the things on the coffee table, then went over and pulled Jiang Yilai, who was sitting in the office chair, over.
Jiang Yilai looked helpless: "I don't feel hungry yet."
"People only stop feeling hungry when they are too busy. If you put all your mind into work, your body will break down."
Jiang Yilai laughed: "I really didn't know you knew these things."
Fu Nanxiao raised an eyebrow. He didn't know anything about these things. He had just asked Zhang Yue and learned that Jiang Yilai had been busy until now and hadn't even had dinner. He was worried that her health couldn't take it, so he came over.
All I know is that you need to rest.
"The court hearing is the morning after tomorrow. My opponent is the new director of Shengshi, who used to be my partner. He's quite capable, so I need to be more careful to win the case."
