Chapter 3132

~10 min read 1,875 words

Steve didn't understand the Chinese way of thinking.

In his upbringing, the education he received was that there was never any so-called harmony of Yin and Yang when dealing with enemies, only life and death. If the strength is not as good as the other party, learn to endure. If the strength exceeds the other party, give a fatal blow.

However, Ye Chen's reminder also opened up new ideas for him. It turns out that besides treating people like slaves, one can also drive people like cattle and horses.

After figuring out this layer, he was no longer in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Then let's see how much trouble they can make."

Ye Chen looked at the excited but nervous crowd, and smiled indifferently: "I think they should soon fall into a stalemate. One side finds that they can't do anything to the other, and the other side is also wary of them, but the object of wariness hasn't stood up to express their attitude for a while, so they will also be hesitant. So I estimate that after everyone shouts, they will definitely be unable to get off the tiger."

The quarrel at this time was indeed weaker than just now.

Although Jimmy expressed his desire to advance and retreat with everyone, Nate's focus was not on Jimmy, but on Steve Rothschild.

In his view, he only feared Steve alone in the whole audience today.

Just now Steve expressed that he was Jimmy's friend, which was expressing his attitude to support Jimmy.

So, he indeed dared not offend Jimmy.

But now, Jimmy has obviously gone a bit too far. He didn't ask Steve's opinion, so he directly wanted to stand up for all senior partners. Now it depends on whether Steve will continue to firmly endorse him. If Steve expresses his position, it is equivalent to announcing that he has completely lost.

And precisely because of this, he has been quietly looking at Steve, wanting to see if Steve will stand up to speak for Jimmy at this time.

And those who had the same experience as Jimmy were also waiting for Steve to speak up to support Jimmy. After all, Jimmy is now striving for the initiative for them, and Nate has also expressed his attitude just now that he will not make things difficult for Jimmy, but will not let others go. If Steve doesn't help Jimmy, Nate will definitely not give Jimmy this face.

However, Steve, who everyone is paying attention to, has no intention of standing up to express his position at this moment.

Seeing that both sides were quietly looking at himself, he understood what Ye Chen said just now.

If he directly expressed his position for Jimmy, the situation today would not be under control. Nate's majesty and threat in front of these people would be swept away. These people would leave Ellis Law Firm for the first time, and then rush to the next wealth without looking back.

In that case, the possibility of letting them serve Ye Chen in China is almost zero.

So, these people still have to rely on Nate to restrain and check and balance.

Since that's the case, he absolutely cannot stand up to support Jimmy directly.

So, the scene soon fell into a stalemate as Ye Chen said.

Jimmy finished his bold words, Nate didn't pick up the conversation, and those senior partners standing behind Jimmy were all unsure and didn't dare to express their position rashly. The scene suddenly quieted down, even a bit awkwardly quiet.

Ye Chen was almost transparent in the eyes of these people, so he observed everyone's expression changes coldly from the side.

As this awkward state lasted longer, the expressions of those behind Jimmy became more nervous and uneasy. On the contrary, Nate on the opposite side became more and more relaxed.

This is because Nate knows very well that Steve has enough strength and face to stand up directly and make himself have to compromise, and he certainly has no possibility of resistance.

But the key is that Steve has been slow to express his position.

This proves that Steve doesn't want to do this.

This is of course a good situation for himself.

At this time, Jimmy's colleagues behind him were already a bit unable to hold back. Someone leaned into Jimmy's ear and said urgently: "Jimmy, you are relatively familiar with Mr. Rothschild, ask him to help us say something! Our future depends entirely on him..."

Jimmy knew Steve's approach well. Others treated Ye Chen as transparent, but he knew that everything was controlled by Ye Chen behind the scenes. When to come out, how to come out, and what kind of plan to give, these problems, Steve must follow Ye Chen's requirements.

So, he whispered back: "Mr. Steve only agreed to help me solve this trouble before, so I don't know if he is willing to help everyone solve the problem. After all, he doesn't owe us anything."

When that person heard this, he was even more uneasy.

If Steve really only wants to protect Jimmy, then the future of others is basically finished.

Just at this time, Ye Chen gave Steve a look, and Steve understood, and said: "Everyone, you have been arguing for a long time, why don't you let me say a fair word."

Seeing Steve intervene, everyone felt hope in their hearts, while Nate looked at Steve nervously, fearing that he would really support these people.

Steve said at this time: "I have also understood some of your affairs just now. From my standpoint, everyone here has problems."

Speaking of this, he looked at the crowd behind Jimmy and said very seriously: "Objectively speaking, your problems are bigger!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts sank, but Nate was full of surprises.

Steve continued: "You are complaining here that your boss dug a hole and set a trap for you, but have you ever thought that if you abide by the duty of an employee, you would not fall into his trap at all."

Speaking of this, Steve subconsciously looked at Ye Chen, and then said: "There is an old Chinese saying, flies don't bite seamless eggs. You have loopholes and weaknesses yourself, so it is natural to be conquered by others. And don't forget, the mistakes you made are not just at the moral level, but also at the legal level."

Everyone was even more dim at this moment. Since Steve said so, it seems that he will not favor them.

And at this time, Steve looked at Nate and said coldly: "Of course, Nate, as a boss, it is not glorious to use such means to control your employees. Try to avoid it in the future."

Nate didn't expect Steve to speak to him so politely, and classified the other party's behavior as a double problem of morality and law, and classified his own behavior as not glorious, which clearly favored himself. This made him excited, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "You are right, Mr. Rothschild! I will pay attention in the future and will no longer do such inglorious things!"

"Um." Steve nodded lightly, looked at him and said very sincerely: "Nate, I actually admire you very much. If you can make your pattern bigger and don't leave too many handles for yourself, in fact, your prospects in the US judicial field, and even the political field, are limitless."

Nate asked carefully: "Mr. Rothschild... you... do you really think so?"

Steve nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, many outstanding politicians in the United States are lawyers. In this point, you already have a huge innate advantage. What's more, no one knows better than a lawyer how to use and destroy the law. This is your sharp weapon to be invincible. Coupled with the extraordinary achievements you have already made in the legal field, in this case, why not make your pattern bigger and look up as much as possible instead of looking down?"

Nate asked carefully: "Mr. Rothschild, what do you mean?"

Steve said: "What I mean is, you clearly can seek broader prospects and a brighter future, but you wrongly focus your attention on your subordinates, on how to bind them, and let them serve you forever like slaves. You are like a plantation owner in the 19th century who is desperately exploiting black slaves. You point your gun at them so they don't escape, but you haven't thought that if you point your gun outside your manor, you will have a great opportunity to constantly open up territory and expand your farm by double, or even ten times or a hundred times."

When Nate heard this, he suddenly realized what Steve meant, and said very shamefully: "Mr. Rothschild, you are right. I really shouldn't limit my pattern to these employees..."

Steve nodded and continued: "For this matter, I will give you the best solution, but whether to adopt it or not depends on yourself."

Nate hurriedly said flattered: "Mr. Rothschild, please tell me!"

Steve said: "These people already have a gap with you. The possibility of you continuing to use them well no longer exists. Instead of this, it is better to let this group of people do other things. You take your board members back to the US and think about how to go to the next level. As for these people, just stay in China and help me with some small things. It just so happens that I also need some lawyers to help here. In the future, you two sides will be separated by the ocean, and you will respect each other like guests. Don't look for trouble with each other. What do you think?"

Nate didn't have time to think carefully, his head was full of the next level that Steve said, and others finally breathed a sigh of relief, because Steve finally started to speak for them, wanting everyone to respect each other like guests and not interfere with each other, which means that Nate cannot take out the evidence to fix them.

After Steve finished speaking, he looked at Nate and asked him: "Nate, what do you think of my proposal?"

So Nate said: "Mr. Rothschild, since you have said so, I certainly have no opinion. Let them stay here to help you. As long as they serve you well, I will definitely not make things difficult for them."

Steve nodded and said: "Since that's the case, then it's settled. I will give them two weeks to return to the US to prepare. You, in these two weeks, hurry up and let them connect their work and resources. You board members believe that you were all very professional lawyers before. Now that you are short of manpower, everyone is working hard. Take the business first, and at the same time, you should also engage in internal selection mechanisms, and hand over some work to the young people below. Maybe more outstanding talents will emerge under heavy pressure."

Nate didn't expect Steve to care so carefully, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Rothschild, don't worry, I will arrange things as soon as possible after I go back, and let them report to China on time."
