Chapter 602: Chapter 397: Feng Xiang in Pieces
"Director Feng, there’s trouble at the firm!"
A voice accompanied by urgent knocking sounded.
Feng Xiang was momentarily stunned, then quickly adjusted his appearance to avoid showing any signs of panic before standing up.
"Dada..."
As he got up, Feng Xiang found his legs weak, stumbled a few steps, and then proceeded toward the door.
He placed his hand on the doorknob and gently pressed down.
"Ka!"
A crisp locking sound echoed, and the door opened to reveal a slightly anxious face.
"Director, there’s trouble at the firm!"
Trouble? What happened?
Feng Xiang frowned, unsure of the situation.
"Lawyer Li, please calm down for a moment."
The person was panting heavily, his face extremely grim, his gaze brewing with impatience.
Upon hearing this.
Lawyer Li took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions.
Feng Xiang asked, "What happened?"
Trouble at the firm?
What kind of trouble could affect a law firm? A law firm isn’t like a typical business company; when it develops into a boutique firm without a significant loss of lawyers, it’s tough to cause upheaval.
Lawyer Li spoke solemnly:
"Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang expressed his intention to leave the firm!"
Mr. Zhang wants to leave?
Which Mr. Zhang?
Feng Xiang was slightly stunned, and the next moment, his face revealed a look of shock, urgently saying:
"Zhang Mang wants to leave!?"
"When? Where is he now?"
Lawyer Li quickly turned sideways and pointed behind him, saying, "Just now, he came to the firm to inform you. If you calculate the time... he should be getting in the car soon..."
Without a word, Feng Xiang stood up and walked out, showing no lawyerly composure, his heart extremely restless.
"I’m going to find him!"
After leaving a statement, he disappeared.
A law firm is different from a typical company; it mostly operates under a partnership system.
It can be understood as multiple people investing in one company.
And these investors also have certain decision-making rights within the company.
Zhang Mang is one of the partners at Hailing Law Firm!
He has abundant case sources, strong financial backing, and close relations with several tycoons in the business world.
It can be said that the firm has reached its current status largely due to him!
Correspondingly.
Once Zhang Mang leaves the firm... it would be equivalent to the firm losing a shoulder!
Firstly, a large number of case sources would disappear, resulting in the firm not having suitable cases to handle, leading to the outflow of lawyers, and ultimately a complete collapse...
Thinking of this.
Feng Xiang accelerated his pace, trying his best to rush outside.
"Bang!"
He pushed open the door of the firm, looked around at the roadside, and immediately saw a familiar black sedan.
At once, Feng Xiang hurried over.
Zhang Mang was sitting in the driver’s seat, fastening his seat belt. Only...
Just as the seat belt clicked into the buckle.
Next moment...
"Bang bang!"
His car window was suddenly knocked.
Zhang Mang looked up and saw Feng Xiang standing outside the car door, panting, with bloodshot eyes. He hesitated for a moment but lowered the car window anyway.
"Mr. Zhang, is there anything you’re dissatisfied with at the firm?"
Feng Xiang forced a smile, cautiously asking Zhang Mang in front of him.
Zhang Mang laughed cheerfully and said:
"No dissatisfaction, Hailing Law Firm is very good. I’m leaving for... personal reasons."
Personal reasons?
Feng Xiang didn’t believe it. No one refuses to make easy money, unless...
"Mr. Zhang, we can renegotiate and re-sign the contract between you and the firm!"
Feng Xiang spoke anxiously, determined to dig deeper.
"No matter what price other firms offer you... Hailing Law Firm can also attempt to provide!"
The likely cause for a partner leaving a firm is being poached!
"I told you, it’s really my personal reason..." Zhang Mang said tactfully.
Only....
"Mr. Zhang, Hailing Law Firm achieved boutique status within months of development, don’t you...." Feng Xiang continued.
He wanted to entice Zhang Mang with grand prospects.
But...
"Sorry, Lawyer Feng..." Zhang Mang frowned yet patiently refused.
"But..."
Feng Xiang wanted to ask further.
But Zhang Mang’s patience had run out, and with an unpleasant expression, he said:
"Lawyer Feng, if there’s anything, you can talk to Jinhe."
After speaking.
Zhang Mang closed the car window directly and then, with a sullen face, turned the key.
"Vroom~!"
The engine roared continuously.
Feng Xiang was startled, subconsciously stepping back a few paces, then suddenly alarmed.
’Oh no, why am I clinging on....
Feng Xiang’s expression turned a bit ugly, realizing he had been slightly obsessive just now.
No one likes being pestered!
And his persistent demeanor... could only make Zhang Mang’s decision to leave more resolute!
’What was I thinking just now? I wouldn’t normally do this, what’s going on....
Feng Xiang lamented inwardly, but could only watch helplessly as Zhang Mang drove away.
He hesitated for a moment.
In the end, he could only take a deep breath, revealing a bitter smile on his face.
"Oh~"
He sighed and remained silent in place, even when the taillights of the car were out of sight.
Until.
Lawyer Li came out from the firm and walked up to Feng Xiang.
"Director Feng, since Mr. Zhang has already left... We might as well prepare well for the trial, the Stamp Case... it’s going to start on October 26."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiang regained his composure.
Sun Hu and Sun Biao’s case isn’t particularly serious and doesn’t require complicated investigation procedures.
Thus, on October 26, just twelve days later, the first trial will be held!
It’s very close!
If it were a usual case, Feng Xiang would naturally be indifferent, after all, at worst, he would lose the case.
