Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

When talking about his last experience in China, Jimmy was filled with tears.

He took the microphone and fired at Knight like he was holding a criticism meeting. Not only did he make a detailed accusation of his experience, he also took out his cell phone and dumped out all the evidence that he had asked Knight to send him.

This was like completely setting off the powder keg.

Every senior partner present had a large amount of evidence in Knight's hands, and almost all of them were worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Once the truth came out, they would either go to jail or face huge compensation.

For a moment, the whole venue was filled with abuse directed at Knight, asking him to give everyone a reasonable explanation.

There were even some excited senior partners who wanted to rush up and fight Knight.

Knight was also worried and afraid. He thought he could bribe Jimmy and use him to get closer to Steve. He never expected to be fooled by this guy. Now the situation is completely out of control. If a fight really breaks out, how can he withstand it?

To take a step back, even if I don't take action, these people will still come to me for an explanation. How can I give it to them?

Seeing Knight's frightened face, Jimmy felt relieved, and his previous experience in China also felt a lot better.

Seeing that everyone was surrounding Knight and asking for an explanation, he stuffed the microphone into Knight's hand and said coldly, "Come on, Knight, since everyone wants you to give an explanation, then just explain it to everyone in front of them."

Knight wiped the sweat off his forehead and said tremblingly, "I...I want to apologize to everyone first...I am indeed...I am wrong, but I can't help it. Competition in the industry is very fierce. You are all the backbone of the law firm. Although you don't earn the most, you have the most output. Once someone changes jobs or leaves to start a business, it will be a huge loss to the law firm..."

Knight then said with a bit of grievance: "Actually...actually, as long as everyone works peacefully at the Ellis Law Firm, I will never do anything that threatens your personal safety or career prospects..."

The Eric from before said coldly: "Stop pretending here. Isn't Jimmy's case typical enough? He was just a person who got into trouble in China and you sold him out!"

Knight said with a sad face: "That's because he offended Mr. Rothschild..."

When Steve heard this, he frowned and glared at him. Knight was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth, looking aggrieved like a nagging woman.

Eric continued to ask: "Nate, I don't want to argue with you about who is right and who is wrong between you and Jimmy. I just want to know, regarding this trap you set for us, what kind of solution are you going to give us?"

Knight quickly raised his right hand and said solemnly: "I swear to God that I can pretend that these things have never happened and will never use them to threaten you again."

Jimmy said with disdain: "As if this incident never happened? It's easy for you to say, but maybe one day we offend you or affect your interests, and you will use this evidence to kill us!"

"Jimmy is right!" someone shouted, "In my opinion, the best solution now is for the law firm to issue a statement stating that all our illegal operations were approved by the law firm, and that the law firm waives the right to pursue any legal liability!"

As soon as this person said this, everyone was immediately enlightened and agreed, "Right! This is the best way! Give us the signed statement and have it notarized by the judicial department! Once it has legal effect, we will terminate the employment contract with Ellis! We will have nothing to do with each other in the future and no one should cause trouble for each other!"

The others immediately raised their hands to show their agreement.

What they fear most now is that these evidences will be used by Knight to sue themselves. Once Knight waives this right on behalf of the law firm, there will naturally be no legal risk. Even if the FBI comes to investigate, it will be useless because this is allowed by the company.

In addition, their second demand is to draw a clear line with Knight. After all, no one wants to continue working hard for such a disgusting, insidious and cunning person, and terminating the employment contract is the best solution.

As soon as Knight heard these two demands from the crowd, his previous nervousness and anxiety were instantly swept away, and was replaced by uncontrollable anger.

He looked around at everyone and said in a cold voice, "I took the initiative to step back and give you a chance just now because I hope that everyone can keep peace and continue to make money together. If you want to leave Ellis, why should I give in to you? I tell you, the reason I left evidence is because I'm afraid you will betray me. Anyone who dares to betray me will be sent to jail!"

After that, he quickly looked at Jimmy in a flattering manner and said, "Jimmy, what happened between us is written off. You are different from them. Don't let them pull you into their camp. They want to drag you down with them!"

For Knight, if these people really wanted to break off with him, then for the sake of his own interests, he naturally would not back down completely. After all, they had the leverage over him, not him having the leverage over them.

Besides, if this matter gets out of hand, they will only suffer a loss of reputation, but they will all face huge compensation and imprisonment without exception.

In this situation, how could I be controlled by them?

The only one who can control himself is Jimmy.

I don't need to indulge anyone except Jimmy.

When the others heard this, they suddenly became nervous. They were indeed very angry and upset just now, and they wanted to beat Knight to death on the spot, but Knight's words just now also calmed them down a lot.

A careful analysis of the pros and cons reveals that despite their large numbers, they are actually a disadvantaged group.

Once they completely fall out with Knight and he releases the evidence, they will all be doomed.

So, the key now lies with Jimmy.

Everyone can see that Jimmy is different now. He has the support of the second-in-command of the Rothschild family. Knight absolutely dare not offend him. If he helps everyone to fight for their interests, then everyone still has some chance of mediation. Otherwise, no one dares to break up with Knight.

If they can't fall out, then the final solution to this matter will definitely be that everyone continues to work at Ellis, and Knight, for safety reasons, will definitely find a way to use newcomers to slowly dilute everyone's resources, and then purge everyone out one by one when everyone is no longer so important to the law firm.

Once the purge began, those present had no ability to fight back because the other side had leverage over them. They could only hand over all their resources and leave in disgrace.

Moreover, even if you get kicked out, it may not be the final result.

Because the evidence will not disappear automatically just because they leave their jobs. As long as Knight wants to continue to target them, he can expose the evidence after they leave, which will completely ruin their careers.

Therefore, everyone looked at Jimmy, fearing that Jimmy would not stand with them at this time.

Jimmy naturally understood what Knight meant. If he was not still being controlled by Ye Chen, he would definitely seize the opportunity to escape the risk and would never go along with this group of people.

But the situation is different now. Knight still doesn't know what his real purpose is. He has to leave ten people here to work for Ye Chen with him, and Knight will have to pay their wages. This is a good opportunity to find a way to establish his personal image, and he must seize it.

So, he looked at Knight and said coldly, "When you set a trap for us, you already assumed that we workers were in the same group. Now you want me to get myself out of it. Where should I put myself?"

Knight quickly said, "You are already a member of the board of directors! You are fundamentally different from them!"

Jimmy shook his head and said, "I didn't accept your option shares, so strictly speaking, I am not a member of your board of directors."

After that, Jimmy looked at everyone and said loudly: "I want to stand together with everyone in this matter!"

As soon as Jimmy said this, everyone cheered and applauded.

Before today, everyone was actually quite annoyed with Jimmy. This person had many shortcomings, and his stinginess and greed were the most disgusting. Even being a colleague with him would make people feel very unacceptable, because he would take advantage of others in countless small details and treat others as fools.

But at this moment, a radiant humanity that theoretically did not belong to him burst out from him. He was able to have such a broad mind and sense of responsibility on such a big issue that made all the resentment and dissatisfaction that everyone had towards him disappear in an instant.

Jimmy didn't expect that he would feel so good when he took advantage of others' power to pretend to be a righteous person.

Seeing that he was pretending, Steve couldn't help but whispered to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, Jimmy and Knight are so confrontational, how will it end later?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "You will definitely be the one to clean up the mess later. You see, Jimmy has already started to pave the way for his future. He knows that he will have to stay in China for a long time and work with ten colleagues. Naturally, he wants to be the leader of these ten people. He is doing this now to establish his own prestige."

Ye Chen added, "But he is just bluffing now. If you don't endorse him, Knight won't take him seriously. It will be different if you endorse him. Knight will definitely not dare to mess with him."

Steve nodded and asked Ye Chen: "Then I will support him directly and settle this matter directly?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't be so blunt. After all, you are in our Chinese territory. Everything must be balanced between yin and yang."

Steve asked in surprise: "Harmony of yin and yang?"

"Yes!" Ye Chen said: "Sometimes, two opposites are not as incompatible as fire and water, and one side must destroy the other. For us, more often, the two opposites are more like the collision between ice water and hot water. If handled well, the two will merge into warm water, which is more comfortable to drink;"

"When we Chinese do things, as long as we haven't torn our relationship apart completely, we usually leave some wiggle room for everyone. So in this situation, I think you are more suitable to be a peacemaker. Let them continue to be on edge, and when the time is right, you can step in and use your status and position to give both parties a way out. Of course, this way out will make Knight gain some face and lose some money, while for others, they will lose some face and gain some benefits. On the one hand, you must ensure that Knight will not use their handles to threaten them, and on the other hand, you must ensure that Knight is willing to pay them."
