In the afternoon, for some reason, Gu Datong began to call everyone to the office one by one to talk. Mei Xiaoting's speculation is that the Chinese New Year is approaching, so Boss Gu wants to talk to everyone and give bonuses by the way. Fang Yi and Wang Deyou have been here for a short time, and they feel that although Mei Xiaoting is young, she is the old man of the team, and what she said should have some truth, so she didn't think much about it.

The first person to go to the office to talk was Xie Youhe, an hour later, when Lao Xie came back, his face was a little complicated, he sat on a chair, held a large teacup and didn't drink a sip of water for a long time, and then put it down, got up and looked out the window with his hands on his hips.

Except for patting Zhou Yunyuan on the shoulder and signaling him to go to the office, Xie Youhe didn't say a word to everyone, and he looked very worried. Fang Yi didn't dare to ask more, but he was sensitive to the fact that this conversation was probably not as simple as Mei Xiaoting said.

When it was almost time to get off work, it was Fang Yi's turn, when he walked into the office, a cold wind hit with a strong smell of tobacco, and the window opposite was open, where did the cold wind blow in.

Gu Datong sat on the sofa, on the large coffee table in front of him, there was a large square and glass ashtray, which was stuffed with cigarette butts, and next to the ashtray were a box of Huazi and a ZIPPO lighter. Gu Datong's hair was meticulously combed, but his brows were furrowed very tightly.

"Lawyer Fang, come in and sit down." Gu Datong looked up and saw Fang Yi coming in, and motioned for him to sit opposite.

After Fang Yi sat down, Gu Datong snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and looked at Fang Yi: "Lawyer Fang, you have been in our team for a few months, right?" ”

"More than five months, I officially turned around in July." Fang Yi said.

"I've asked Lawyer Xie and he's very receptive to your abilities. The Spring Festival will be more than a month away, and this is a year-end bonus for you. With that, Gu Datong put a thick envelope on the table and pushed it to Fang Yi.

"Thank you, Lawyer Gu." Fang Yi reached out and picked up the envelope, feeling that there was almost 10,000 yuan in the envelope.

"In addition, our Jinshi Law Firm wants to engage in integration, I don't know if you know?" Gu Datong asked.

"Well, I've heard of it." Fang Yi couldn't tell what Gu Datong meant, could it be that he wanted to take a salary cut?

"At present, more than half of the dozens of partners in our firm are reluctant to engage in integration, and I am one of them. During this time, I talked to our local No. 1 Wanhua United Law Firm.

After the Spring Festival, I plan to transfer all my team members to Wanhua United Law Firm to practice. After our team passed, the non-litigation team was going to merge with the team of lawyer Li Chaoqun over there, lawyer Li is my good friend and my senior brother, and he has done a lot of big projects in the non-litigation field.

The litigation team of our team will be subsumed into the team of Lawyer Wanke, the founder of Wanhua United Law Firm, and the treatment there will be some changes, and Lawyer Wan's team will talk to you separately at that time. I don't know if you have any ideas? Gu Datong looked at Fang Yi.

Fang Yi was recommended by lawyer Zhou Shen from the headquarters, and it is said that the two have a good relationship. This time, there was internal strife within Jinshi Law Firm because of integration, and many lawyers would transfer to other law firms, and Gu Datong didn't know if Zhou Shen had communicated with Fang Yi in advance to stay.

Fang Yi was a little overwhelmed by Gu Datong's sudden decision, no wonder Xie Youhe's face was complicated after he came out of the office, it turned out that he was going to split the team.

Seeing that Fang Yi lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time, Gu Datong cleared his throat: "I only finalized the matter of the transfer yesterday, and it was a bit sudden. Lawyer Fang, if you haven't thought about it, I'll give you a suggestion, why don't you go to Wanhua United Law Firm to talk, if you can accept the conditions there, stay, if you can't accept it, you tell me, and I will help you introduce other law firms. ”

Fang Yi pondered that there was nothing good to go at the moment, and there was nothing wrong with talking about it, so he listened to Gu Datong's opinion.

Fang Yi, who walked out of the office, had mixed feelings in his heart, and his expression was as complicated as Xie Youhe.

"Finished talking?" Xie Youhe saw that Fang Yi's expression was similar to his own when he came back, and he smiled helplessly.

"Well, let's go, go smoke one?" Fang Yi pouted in the direction of the terrace and said in a low voice.

More than ten minutes later, Fang Yi and Xie Youhe held a cigarette and looked at the winter sunset side by side. A large round cake was about to fall, as if it had exhausted all its energy, and it was still breathing.

"The sunset is infinitely good, it's just near dusk!" Xie Youhe sighed and said.

"The sunset is the sunset, how can it be compared with the sunrise." Fang Yi seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be responding to Xie Youhe.

"After the sunset passes, it will be another sunrise, not broken or standing!" After a while, Xie Youhe said lightly.

"What do you think? Do you want to follow along? Fang Yi turned his head to look at Xie Youhe.

"Well, that law firm is quite big, Boss Gu has already made an appointment for me, I will go over there tomorrow afternoon to talk to the people of the litigation team, if I can't find a more suitable law firm before the Spring Festival, there is a high probability that I will stay there."

What about you? Do you want to go over tomorrow together? Xie Youhe said and took a puff of his cigarette and looked at him.

"Good! I'll take a look at it. Fang Yi said

After saying that, the two fell into silence, and their hearts were full of thoughts.

After a while, Wang Deyou carried the bonus issued by Gu Datong, showed a shocked, helpless and worried expression, walked onto the terrace, and came to the front of the two.

Lawyer Mei and Lawyer Zhou were called away to the meeting by Lawyer Sima, and heard that they would transfer directly to Wanhua United Law Firm. Our litigation team will also go over and merge into another team. ”

Whether it is academic qualifications or successful cases, Wang Deyou is not as good as the two lawyers in front of him, so he is the most apprehensive of the three.

Gu Datong's team is in turmoil!

When he returned to his residence in the evening, Fang Yi specially checked the information of Xia Wanhua United Law Firm, which was established on January 5, 1999, and was located on the 80th and 9th floors of the Financial Building, with an office area of about 5,000 square meters. It was formed by the merger of three law firms, Huafang, Wanwei and Jiulian, which were among the top 10 law firms in the province at that time, and each had its own advantages in the field of non-litigation and litigation.

The word "Wan" in Wanhua United Law Firm is taken from the surname of Wan Kefa, the director of Wanwei Law Firm. The word "Hua" is taken from the surname of Hua Liancheng, the director of Huafang Law Firm.

Although Jiulian Law Firm does not have such an honor, it has a well-known Iron Lady director, Du Sanniang. It is said that her father loves to watch "Water Margin" very much, and when her mother gave birth to her, her father happened to see the section of Sanda Zhujiazhuang, so he changed the name Hu Sanniang to a surname and put it on her.

According to rumors, Wan Kefa and Hua Liancheng quarreled as soon as they met, and only Du Sanniang could suppress the two of them, I don't know if it's true or not.

Wanhua & Associates has 218 registered lawyers, including more than 50 paralegals and trainee solicitors. Although the administrative, personnel, and financial personnel were not disclosed, Fang Yi speculated that there should not be too few people in such a large law firm.
