Chapter 3131

Whenever he talked about his experience of coming to China last time, Jimmy was full of bitter tears.

He held the microphone and fired wildly at Nate like a criticism meeting, not only complaining about his experience in detail, but also taking out his mobile phone and shaking out all the evidence he had asked Nate to send him before.

This was completely detonating the powder keg.

Every senior partner present had a large amount of evidence mastered by Nate, and almost all of them were targets of millions or tens of millions of US dollars. As long as the incident was exposed, it would be either prison or huge compensation.

For a time, the venue was full of scolding Nate, asking him to give everyone a reasonable explanation.

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

Nate was also worried and afraid. He thought he could buy Jimmy and borrow his light to get closer to Steve, but he never expected to be tricked by this guy. Now the situation is completely out of control. If they really fight, how can he resist?

Taking a step back, even if they don't fight, these people are asking him for an explanation, how can he give it?

Seeing Nate's panic, Jimmy felt a bit of anger in his heart, and even his experience in China was relieved a lot.

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

Nate wiped his cold sweat and said tremblingly: "I... I apologize to everyone first... This matter is indeed... indeed my fault, but I have no choice. The industry competition is very fierce, and everyone is the backbone of the law firm. Although you don't earn the most, you produce the most. Once someone jumps ship or resigns to start a business, it is a huge loss for the law firm..."

As he spoke, Nate said somewhat aggrievedly: "Actually... actually, as long as everyone works properly at Ellis Law Firm, I will absolutely not do anything that threatens everyone's personal safety or career prospects..."

Eric, who had just been named by Jimmy, said coldly: "Stop pretending here. Isn't Jimmy's matter typical enough? He was sold by you just because he had a little situation in China!"

Nate said with a crying face: "That's because he offended Mr. Rothschild..."

Hearing this, Steve frowned and glared at him. Nate was so scared that he hurriedly closed his mouth, his expression as aggrieved as a resentful woman.

Eric continued to question: "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, what kind of solution are you going to give us regarding the matter of digging holes and setting traps for us?"

Nate hurriedly raised his right hand and said solemnly: "I swear to God, I can pretend that these things have never happened, and will never use this to threaten everyone again."

Jimmy said disdainfully: "Pretend that this thing hasn't happened? You say it easily, but maybe one day we offend you, or affect your interests, you will take out this evidence and fix us to death!"

"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 violations are agreed by the law firm, and the law firm waives the right to pursue all legal responsibilities!"

As soon as this person's words came out, everyone was awakened instantly, and they echoed: "Yes! This method is the best! Sign this statement and give it to us, and then have it notarized by the judicial department! Once it has legal effect, we will terminate the employment contract with Ellis! Everyone will have nothing to do with each other in the future, and no one should look for trouble with each other!"

Others also raised their hands to show agreement.

What they are most afraid of now is that this evidence will be used by Nate to sue them. Once Nate represents the law firm and waives this right, then there is naturally no legal risk. Even if the FBI comes to investigate, it is useless, because it is allowed by the company.

Besides that, their second demand is to draw a line with Nate. After all, such a disgusting, insidious and cunning person, no one wants to continue to work hard by his side. Terminating the employment contract is the best solution.

When Nate heard these two demands, his previous tension and anxiety vanished instantly, replaced by fury.

He looked around at everyone and said coldly: "I took a step back to give you a chance just now, hoping that everyone can ensure peace and continue to make money together. If you want to leave Ellis, then why should I make concessions to you? I tell you, the reason I left evidence is to prevent you from rebelling. Everyone among you, whoever dares to rebel, I will definitely send him to prison!"

After speaking, he hurriedly looked at Jimmy flatteringly and said: "Jimmy, the matter between us is written off. You are different from them. Don't be pulled into their camp. They are trying to pull you into the water!"

For Nate, if these people really want to tear their faces with him, then for his own interests, he naturally cannot retreat to the end. Anyway, it is they who have handles in his hands, not him who has handles in their hands.

Moreover, if this matter is made big, he will lose his reputation at most, but they will all face huge compensation and imprisonment without exception.

In this case, how could he be manipulated by them?

The only one who can manipulate him is Jimmy.

Except for Jimmy, he doesn't have to be used to anyone else.

When others heard this, they became nervous instantly. Everyone was indeed very angry and very hot-headed just now, wishing to beat Nate to death on the spot, but Nate's words just now also made them calm down a lot.

Carefully analyzing the pros and cons, in fact, although they are numerous, they are actually the disadvantaged group.

Once they completely turn against Nate and Nate releases the evidence, they will all be finished.

So, the key now is Jimmy.

Everyone can see that Jimmy is different now. He has the number two figure of the Rothschild family supporting him, and Nate definitely dare not offend him. If he helps everyone strive for benefits, then everyone still has some room for maneuver. Otherwise, no one dares to tear their faces with Nate.

If they can't tear their faces, then the final solution to this matter is definitely that everyone continues to work at Ellis, and Nate, out of safety considerations, will definitely find ways to use newcomers to gradually dilute everyone's resources. When everyone is not so important to the law firm, they will be cleaned out one by one.

Once the cleaning starts, because they have handles in the other party's hands, these people have no ability to fight back at all, and can only hand over all resources and roll away.

Moreover, even if they roll away, it may not be the final result.

Because the handle will not disappear automatically because they leave the job. As long as Nate still wants to fix them, he can completely expose the handle after they leave the job, which is equivalent to completely ruining their career.

So, everyone looked at Jimmy one after another, fearing that Jimmy would really not stand with everyone at this time.

Jimmy naturally understood Nate's meaning. If he wasn't still being held by Ye Chen, he would definitely grasp this opportunity to get rid of the risk, and it would be impossible to advance and retreat with this group of people.

But the situation is different now. Nate doesn't know what his real purpose is. He wants to leave ten people here to work for Ye Chen with him, and the salary has to be paid by Nate. At this time, it is a good opportunity to try to establish a personal image. He must grasp it.

So, he looked at Nate and said coldly: "When you dug a hole and set a trap for us, you already defaulted that we workers are the same group. Now you want me to pick myself out of it. Where should I put myself?"

Nate hurriedly said: "You are already a board member now! There is an essential difference from them!"

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

After speaking, Jimmy looked at everyone and said loudly: "On this matter, I want to advance and retreat with everyone!"

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

Before today, everyone actually disliked Jimmy. This person has many shortcomings. Stinginess and greed are the most annoying. Even being a colleague with him makes people feel very difficult to accept, because he will take advantage of others in countless small details and treat others as fools.

But at this moment, the light of humanity that theoretically didn't belong to him burst out of him. Being able to have such breadth of mind and sense of responsibility on such a big issue made all the grievances and dissatisfaction everyone had with him vanish in this instant.

Jimmy never expected that it would feel so cool to be a righteous person for once by relying on the power of others.

Seeing him pretending, Steve couldn't help but ask Ye Chen in a low voice: "Mr. Ye, Jimmy is so tit-for-tat with Nate, how should this end later?"

Ye Chen smiled: "It will definitely be you who will end it later. Look at Jimmy, he has already started to pave the way for his future. He knows that he will stay in China for a long time in the future, and he has to be with ten colleagues. He naturally wants to be the leader of these ten people. Doing so now is to establish prestige for himself."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "However, he is just bluffing now. If you don't endorse him, Nate won't take him seriously. If you endorse him, it will be different, and Nate will definitely not dare to mess with him."

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

Ye Chen smiled: "Don't be so stiff. You are in our land of China after all. Everything must pay attention to the harmony of Yin and Yang;"

Steve asked with surprise: "Harmony of Yin and Yang?"

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

"We Chinese do things, as long as we don't completely tear our faces, we generally leave some room for everyone. So in this situation, I think you are more suitable to be a peacemaker, let them continue to be at daggers drawn, and when the time is right, you come out and use your status to give both sides a step down. Of course, this step down should let Nate get some face and lose some money, and for others, it is to lose some face and get some benefits, ensuring that Nate will not use their handles to threaten them, and also ensuring that Nate is willing to pay them salary."
