Based on what we know so far, Jiang Yilai feels that the case is likely more complex than it appears.
If things were really that simple, they would have come directly to her law firm instead of involving headquarters.
What secret is hidden here?
When Zhang Yue entered the lounge, the dean asked anxiously, "Ms. Zhang, how is the situation? Has Director Jiang agreed to take on this case?"
Jiang Yilai is now quite well-known in the city, and when people encounter difficult cases, they will first look for her.
However, she doesn't accept every case indiscriminately. She only takes on a case if she understands the entire case and wants to help the victim.
If the dean really did find her from the beginning, provided the information he had, and explained the whole story, she would have followed up.
It's precisely because they crossed our side that they seem even more problematic.
"I'm sorry, Dean, but our director said there are still many things to understand in this case, and she needs to clarify the situation before she can close the case."
"What's unclear about that? Besides, their superiors have already agreed, and she just needs to follow orders."
“That’s not how it works. Our director has his own standards. If the dean is willing to wait, the director will contact you after making a decision. If you are not willing, you can find other law firms.”
"I never expected a lawyer to act so arrogantly. In that case, we'll have to find someone else."
Seeing his anxious look, Zhang Yue said she was powerless to help and left it to him to choose.
"I hope the dean can understand that the director is not being arrogant, but is thinking about the real victims."
The dean was displeased by this: "You mean we are not the victims? You see that the couple crying their hearts out and think we are the sinners?"
"Dean, calm down. I'm just telling you that this is our director's decision. If you have any complaints, you can raise them with headquarters."
After this conversation, Zhang Yue felt that the dean was too agitated and seemed more like someone with problems.
The dean said angrily, "Fine, very well, I will definitely raise this issue with your headquarters."
After saying that, he didn't want to waste any more time. If he really let Jiang Yilai find out, he didn't know how long it would take.
What he wants is to end this case as soon as possible so that it can have legal effect and silence the critics.
Zhang Yue watched the two leave and prepared to go back to report the situation to Jiang Yilai. When she passed the reception room where the family members were, she saw the two wiping away tears and couldn't help but feel pity.
She knocked on Jiang Yilai's office door and saw her on the phone. Judging from the conversation, it was probably a call from headquarters.
“We lawyers build our reputation, and we take on cases before we understand the facts. What if they are the perpetrators?”
"In short, this time we will do things our own way."
“Punish me? I don’t think the company should do such a thing. If everyone’s ideas don’t align, how can we work together in the future?”
"I've made myself perfectly clear, goodbye!"
Jiang Yilai calmly hung up the phone, looked at Zhang Yue who looked worried, and chuckled, "What's wrong, worried about me?"
Zhang Yue nodded and stepped forward: "The dean's attitude was not good just now. I didn't expect him to complain to headquarters so quickly. Are they blaming you?"
"Don't worry about minor issues. I just have a slight disagreement with the big boss, but I won't do things their way. This matter must be handled my way."
