Medalist Lawyer Heirs
Episode 11
Whatever happen in their household,
you don't get to say anything.
I understand that, Chairman Zhong.
But... I have spent my weekend at your family while I was growing up.
I have watched Tang Ning grow up.
I really don't want to see family not getting along.
You like her?
You like Tang Ning.
Your auntie Tang has misjudged you.
She thought you like Tang Jing.
You actually like Tang Ning.
Yes. I do like Tang Ning.
I also see you and Auntie Tang like my own elder.
You and Tang Ning are all closest (family) in this world.
Right now, she is the one who want to looking to stuff.
Auntie Tang and I don't want her to look at the will.
It is because her Mom doesn't want to.
Alright. Now Xia Yun is back.
Whatever she wants to show her daughter is up to her.
It has nothing to do with us.
But Dai Bo. you need to understand.
You are raised by Tang family.
But you are not a member of Tang family.
Things involved with Tang family...
It is the best that you don't get involved.
[ Share Transfer Agreement ]
Tang Ning.
Mom did wrong toward you.
I asked your uncle not to show you the will.
I also refuse to have your auntie to show you the Share Transfer Agreement.
According to you,
when my Dad past away,
the share was mine.
But... I was already 10 years old. Why didn't have any recollection of that?
It is because you were still young.
So your mom and us went and sign all the legal documents.
My Dad past away in 1998.
So back then I have inherited all the share of Tang Ye Corporation
That is right.
Xiao Ning. Now you know everything, right?
Your Dad's will is valid.
Your uncle has carried out the process of you inheritance.
So no one lie to you.
Don't be so suspicious.
Why would you hid it from me?
Is there a need?
Xiao Ning.
That is all because I have sold your share later on.
Since the shares do not belong to us,
isn't it pointless to talk about will and inheritance?
It is better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
How many day was I a share holder?
What I mean is
how many days between the day I inherited the share and when you
transfer the share to Aunite.
A year?
A few months?
A few weeks?
A few days?
It's one day.
The same day.
I understand.
You have already figure it out before hand.
You sign all the legal document at the same day.
When I inherited my Dad's share,
you sold it to Auntie.
It is not like that.
- Xiao Ning. Let me explain.-Uncle.
Didn't we agree to let my Mom explain?
Xiao Ning.
You don't understand the situation. It is 1989.
How many people have gone bankrupt when the Asian financial crisis happened!
Your Dad had left all the share to you.
But you and I, a month and a daughter,
how could we have ran a company so big?
I had no choice.
In order to pay for your Dad's expensive medical expenses and save the company,
also for you and I,
I could only sell the company to your Auntie and Uncle.
Only them could save the company.
You guys didn't tell me the truth.
At Auntie's house, didn't we already tell you?
It is for your Dad, the company and this family. So I sold your share.
What else do you want to know.
In truth, I have gone to the airport to pick you up yesterday.
Why did you go to the airport?
I wanted to give you a surprise.
But I saw you came back with another person.
In our photo album...
I have seen photo of you and him when you were young.
I want to now what kind of relationship between you guys.
I also want to know. Is it because of him
so Auntie and Uncle force you to sell the share in such a low price.
No! It's not like that. Xiao Ning.
There are a lot of thing you don't know about our family.
You are still young. You won't be able to go against them.
You don't know how good your Uncle and Auntie are.
Don't go against them. We won't fight with them.
It's late.
Go to bed soon.
Cousin.
This is the information you asked for.
I am leaving then.
There is nothing to say between you and I.
Is Zheng Hao the son of your sister and I?
No.
You are lying.
You asked my older sister to take out that baby back then.
Your kid has been gone.
Yes. I did wrong towards you guys.
I have nothing to say and I should be punished.
But why would she lie to me for so many years if she ended up carrying through the pregnancy?
She didn't lie to you.
The day your married Tang Li Qun, she has gone mad.
Do you understand what it mean gone mad?
You forced her to take out the kid.
She didn't even recognize me.
I didn't know what to do then.
We could only take the kid out.
You can lie to me and make up story.
But you can't deny the truth of a woman pregnant for 10 months.
Zheng Hao was borned on Jun 19th, 1988.
Your older sister and I had parted
in November 1987.
She told me back then that she was 2 month pregnant.
If she actually had an abortion and having another kid with another man,
there is no way the kid would be born in June the following year.
You never know. Perhaps the kid could be premature.
Premature?
Then. if it is a preemie,
we can find hid record.
I have already looked into this.
When Zheng Yi Jian was dating your older sister,
he had already lost the ability to pregnant a woman.
There is no way that Zheng Hao is his son.
That is right. Zheng Hao is your son.
When my older sister went crazy. Old Zheng had persuade her to keep the kid.
For money and fame, you left your wife and son behind.
Zheng Hao will never admit you as his father.
This is the payback.

- Chairman Zhong. - Come. Come. Come.
Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!
You look for me so early in the day. Anything is going on?
Dai Bo. I have something to talk to you.
Please tell me.
Have you thought of the future of Hai Ming Law Office?
I... really never thought of it.
You are partner. Besides taking on cases,
you need to think about the future of the law firm.
Yes. I... never consider this kind of question.
Hai Ming Law Office needs to move forward.
Also we need to bring in more new blood.
Yes. You are right.
Then... I will contact the headhunting company tomorrow.
And ask them to send us more resumes.
Okay.
Our Hai Ming Law Office needs to move forward.
We need to be known worldwide.
When all the businessmen came to China , they will only look for us
and ask us to represent them.
Okay. I will do my best.
I will leave the hard work to you then.
I should work hard.
- If that is it, I will leave then.- Okay.
Wait.
From before... about the case been postpone..
There is a young man, he is quite clever.
What is his name?
Do you mean... Zheng Hao?
Yes. Yes. Zheng Hao. Zheng Hao.
- Is he your friend?- Yes.
What is your impression about him?
He.. is very smart,
flexible and very clever.
Only.. he doesn't have much experience in cases.
experience can be cultivated. That is not the problem.
The most important thing is rather he has the talent and ambition.
He does have ambition.
Then we should bring him over.
You mean... to poach him and bring him to Hai Ming Law Office?
What do you think?
He is a bit arrogant.
I am afraid if he does come, he won't listen.
That is not his problem. That is management's problem.
That is right. That is right. That will be my problem.
Dai Bo.
Did you realize that I am testing your ability?
I like to promote you to partner in management level.
Do your best.
Hai Ming Law Office has a lot of space to grow.
Do your best.
I will, Chairman Zhong.
Okay.
- Brother Bo. - You are back!
Come over. I am done cooking.
There is even wine!
I have been waiting for you for quite awhile.
Any good news? You got married?
It is even better than me getting married. Alright?
Here.
Let me ask you. After getting Li Yun's case, if you win the case,
you will be famous. Have you consider your future?
What kind of future is there for us the little lawyer? One step at a time.
You really don't know.
Once you win this case, you will be a famous lawyer.
There will be so many law firm talking to you then.
I will give it straight to you.
Our Hai Ming Law Office is hiring right now.
I can recommend you. Do you want to come?
I don't want to.
Think about it, Brother Bo.
At the Tian He Law Office, a lawyer like me
can have the oppertunity to take on a big case like Li Yun.
If I am at Hai Ming Law Office right now, there won't be my turn at all.
Besides, it is great to partner with Tang Ning right now.
That's just leave it like now.
So...
Without Tang Ning, you won't take any cases?
Now you mention it? I really can't get use to it without Tang Ning.
I can't tell that you guys work well together.
You are a man. You need to be a lawyer on your own.
You can't rely on Tang Ning too much.
It is not me who rely on her.
It's her relying on me.
This case... both to me and
to Tang Ning is very important.
She doesn't even have the lawyer license yet.
We can talk after she get her lawyer license. Right?
If I leave right now and leave her behind. I am really not loyal.
No way. No way. no can't do.
I didn't know you are very loyal.
Let me test you right now. If there is a big firm,
a firm that is bigger than Hai Ming Law Office
wants to poach you. Would you be tempted?
I am telling you. Coming to a big firm like Hai Ming Law Office,
you will be like me and becoming a partner very soon.
All the case coming to you will be big cases
that is well known.
Isn't it what you are looking for becoming a lawyer?
Besides, you do have the qualification and quality.
Right?
Brother Bo. I am not like you. You studied oversea and had great education.
Besides, you are already a partner so it is easy for you to say.
I think, for now, the most important thing to me
is doing a good job on Li Yun's case. Once I have the confidence and the bargaining chips,
I will be able to go where ever I want. Right?
Alright. Alright. I didn't know that
you are not moved at all.
There is no hurry. Think it through.
No matter what. Brother Bo.
Thank you.
Cousin. Don't worry about what He Yu Xin said.
Who would not admit their father?
Besides, with your ability and name,
you can help Zheng Hao to have boundless prospects.
But I really did wrong towards him and his mother.
Who can blame you?
He Ya Xin kept it from you or your son would have return to you long ago.
I am afraid that he would not admit me as his father now.
Didn't you ask Dai Bo to persuade Zheng Hao to come to Hai Ming Law Office. What a great idea!
In Shanghai, it is so many lawyers' been looking for to get into Hai Ming Law Office in and not able to!
Cousin. Don't worry. You only need to wait for the good news.
As for when Zheng Hao will admit you as his father. You can't force that.
You are right about that.
I am afraid Qun Jie (his wife) won't accept Zheng Hao.
The time has not came yet. The only thing I can do
is to put Zheng Hao in Hai Ming Law Office
It gives me peace of mind seeing him.
This kid
is smart and clever. Just like me.
Of course. How can flush and blood not alike?!
It makes me happy seeing him.
[ Tang Ye Corporation ]
- He is not welling to come?- Yes.
It is because he has just taken on a big case.
He is getting ready to do his best.
- Xie Fei's case?- Yes.
He is very full of himself and said he wants to win it for sure.
He also told me that he want to shine the hallow on top of his head
a bit more so everyone can see it.
So he can enter a big firm holding his head high.
So he won't listen to me no matter what I say.
Chairman Zhong. Zheng Hao is very full of himself.
Full of himself means he is confident.
You have promise me, Dai Bo. You have to persuade him and get him over here.
Chairman Zhong. I know Zheng Hao.
If he get stubborn, he would not listen to anything.
If I can't fulfill your request this time,
I can only let you down.
There is no hurry. Take your time.
You can let him know that how much a person can grow
depends on where he works. Even if he has great ambition,
without a good platform, whatever he put into would be useless.
Tell him that.
Okay. Since you have given this task to me, I will give it another shot.
I have confident in you.
I am leaving then.

You haven't slept last night?
You are pulling a whole nighter?
You work so hard. Does your Director Xue sew all that?
You know the limitation of a smaller law firm now?
What do you mean limitation?
No matter what kind of case, you need the law firm to back you up.
With only you working on it here, it might end up for nothing.
- What do you mean? - Client's background,
the ability of the assistant the law firm assign to you and the relationship between the lawyer to the judge.
Rather you are able to contend with bigger law firm's well known lawyer in a case.
Those are very important elements.
With you working hard here alone, how would that be enough?
That Director Xue of yours is (a weed growing on a fence) someone goes whichever way the wind blows.
Do you know what is the percentage of his case settling in the end?
- How much?- More than 70%.
What does that say?
It says he does not care rather to win the case or not.
He only cares about how much money he can make on a case.
That kind of boss doesn't really fit with you.
Your opponent is Li Tong Tian.
A big law firm and well known lawyer.
He has great background and experience. I have lost to him in the past, too.
Without your law firm backing you up, how confident are you to win this case?
Brother Bo. Now that I am listening to you. My case is only gong to go down to the drain, right?
This case is relate to my future.
Do you have any brilliant idea? Tell me.
As for brilliant idea, I don't have any.
I do have some opinion.
Come to Hai Ming Law Office.
There are a lot of people can help you.
Why do you always want me to go to Hai Ming Law Office?
I see that you really want to win the case.
I am afraid someone will be pulling your leg.
And bury such a great talent.
I am offering you a much better platform. Do you know?
Tell me. You have looking at Li Yun's can whole night.
What did you find? Did you find the breaking point?
What did Director Xue offer you as back up?
Did he give you an investigator?
Did he give you an assistant?
Yes. Tang Ning.
Tang Ning?
Tang Ning doesn't even have a lawyer license.
You two want to win over Li Tong Tian?!
Zheng Hao.
Our office can offer you more people and resources.
Comparing to your office, it's several times more.
Think of it.
Brother Bo.
It is always you wanting me to go to Hai Ming Law Office.
Lawyer Zhong might not agree.
Lawyer Zhong thinks really highly of you.
I am very sure of that.
It is a good oppertunity so don't miss it.
What about today? Are you feeling better?
Not good. I still don't have much energy.
Then... stay home and don't go out.
Ke Ming.
We have been husband and wife for over 20 years.
If I got a very serious illness can't be cured,
when I left you...
I left before you.
Don't say something so unlucky.
Shouldn't I think of that?
I need to think about it. Look at our Xiao Jing.
She is a big girl now and still very nieve and immature.
All the stuff at the company,
it's all on your shoulder. What would you do once I am gone with no one to share the burden?
You have your health checked first. President Wu has already said
he is going to find a few specialists to have a appointment.
In truth, I know my body.
It is not small problem for sure.
Ke Ming. What about
ask Dai Bo to come over here tomorrow. I am going to write a will.
Don't be in such a hurry. Don't scare yourself.
Your health is alright for sure.
The only thing I can't let go off now is our Xiao Jing.
Zheng Hao! Why won't you answer my phone? Why? Why?
Why won't you answer my phone? You won't bother with me on purpose. How annoying!
[ Tang Jing calling ]
Who is calling you? Already try whole day. Please answer it.
- It is your sister.- What?
- Tang Jing?- Yes.
Lately, she has been drinking.
Also, she insisting wanting me to be her boyfriend. I really can't stand it.
So... I add her in my blacklist.
You blacklist her?
You dare to blacklist her?! Aren't you afraid that she retaliates?
You might as well answer it.
[ Tang Jing calling ]
- But you...- You don't understand.
In the beginning, I was not that afraid.
But... Tang Jing is too young. After 90's.
She is only a young girl. I shouldn't pulling her along.
Besides, I am putting all my energy in my job.
Men need to focus on their career, right?
I suddenly understand why Chairman Zhong would come to my house.
He was not here because of you. He came because of his daughter.
Who is his daughter?
The one who is calling you.
My sister.
Tang Jing is Zhong Ke Ming's daughter?!
Yes.
Then why isn't her last name Zhong?
Tang Jing took her mother's last name. Who is Chairman's wife?
- It is Tang Li Qun.- I got it.
Tang Jing couldn't find you so she told her parents about you.
So... Chairman came to my place last night to inspect his future son-in-law.
No way!
How is it not possible?
I am advising you to answer it. Even though you don't know what is going on with Tang Jing
but she has investigate you very throughly.

You still won't answer my call! No one dare to do this to me.
Why are you throwing your phone? I can hear you from afar.
- Can't you talk nicely?- He wan't answer my call and even turn off his phone.
Is it the person whom you mentioned to me that you like?
Who is he? Tell mom?
I don't want to say.
He won't answer my call and turn off his phone. No one ever dare do that to me.
Would Xiao Ning know about stuff with Gao Huai Yi?
From what I know, I don't think it is possible.
Xia Yun. Don't you panic and show your hand.
Go talk to Xiao Ning tonight.
Only you two can talk still.
Qun Jie and I can't help you any more.
Mom.
Is he making mad on purpose to show he is different?
My dear daughter, did you realize how late it is?
You are a lucky girl who can sleep as late as you want.
He has to work 9 to 5 and go to work.
It is normal to turn off phone and go to sleep.
That is true. Lawyer working on cases have to wake up early.
Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing. Mom is telling you.
Rather you find someone is white collar or gold collar,
I will not interfere. But I have to remind you one thing.
Two families can't have to big of a gap. (in status and economic background) Other wise,
there will be a lot of imbalance after you get married.
There will be conflicts.
You never know, Mom.
Look at you and Dad. There is not much conflicts.
It is not the same.
Besides, there were not that many rich people in China 20 years ago.
Our Tang Family only just started and didn't have that much assets.
Besides, even though your Dad is only a little lawyer,
he is very smart with high IQ and very charming in personality.
So... the distance between us become very small very quickly.
Yes, then there is no problem.
What do you mean there is no problem.
But our Tang Family has been rich for so many years now.
You are 2nd generation of the wealth.
Anyone who is very smart won't be able to fill up the gap.
I don't care. I just like him.
After he is with me, he won't be a white collar any more.
Besides, no matter how big the gap, I will be able to fill it for him.
- How are you going to fill it? - I can open a company and law firm for him.
It's like Mom open a company for Dad.
We already have Hai Ming Law Office. Why would we open another law firm?
- In the future, Dai Bo...- Dai Bo?
What does this have to do with Dai Bo?
Right! Dai Bo!
I can't find him. I can go see Dai Bo tomorrow morning.
That's right? Thank you , Mom.
I got it. I can call Dai Bo. I am going to sleep. Good night.
Crazy! Crazy!
Xiao Ning.
You are still mad at Mom?
Xiao Ning!
I am not mad at you. I only want to figure things out.
What else is there to figure it out?
Did Auntie and Uncle force you to transfer share?
Xiao Ning. Could you stop digging?
I just feel the Share Transfer Agreement is not normal.
Why isn't it normal? Your Auntie did pay.
But the price was not right.
No matter how you look at it. Tang Ye Corporation's value was not only 20 million dollars. (US$ 2.8 million)
Why did you sell it for only 20 millions? (US$ 2.8 million)
I am working on a case which is very similar to what happened to our family.
The family's father die,
the will is transfer all the shares to his twin sons who only turn 10-year-old.
But their uncle won't do it.
Their uncle wants to monopolize the shares.
Their share would have worth 2 billions. (US$ 290 million)
But their uncle is only offering 300 millions. (US$ 43 million)
What happened after that?
The kids are too young and don't civil liability.
But their mother understand. So their mother won't allow it.
Mom.
Did Auntie and Uncle force you?
Otherwise you would not have signed that unfair agredment.
No. What do I have so they can force me?
What is your relationship with him?
You only know to push me. What can you gain to push me?
You are my daughter.
I carried you for 10 months and gave birth. You are from me.
How can't I deal with the shares for you?
Even if giving you 20 millions was not good enough. (US$ 2 million)
- But didn't your Auntie and Uncle going to give you 100 millions more to you? (US$ 14 million)- This has nothing to do with money.
It is true that you gave birth to me. But since you gave birth to me,
I am an independent individual in law. You can't represent me.
You can't make decision for me.
You are an independent individual?
Would you eat on your own when you were little?
If I didn't raise you,
how were you able to be independent?
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
My mother-in-law talked to me again last night.
She was very insistent. She would not let me and my sons to own any shares.
Your mother-in-law is a bit over the top.
Even if she sees you as an outsider. Xie Yi and Xie Er are her grandchildren. How can she be like that?
What is Xie Feng's lawyer's name? Li... what?
His Lawyer name is Li Dong Tian. His nickname is Li Tong Tian. (Tong Tian = connect to the heaven)
Yes. That Li Tong Tian. He said if I don't sell the shares,
then I won't even get that 300 million dollars once we go in court. (US$ 43 million)
- Why?- They can make cook their book.
Because Tian Cheng Corp is not listed company.
So their financial is not public.
Xie Feng controls day to day management anyway.
So making up a few fake dealing and book, the money would be gone.
How can they do that? Isn't that illegal?
For money, some people would do anything. Who cares if it is illegal.
- What did you tell you?- I refused.
My husband worked on this company with his blood and sweat.
He wanted to leave it to his sons for sure and want them to take over it.
So... I can only rely on you two.
We will be boing to court next Tuesday. Would Lawyer Xue be able to go up again Li Tong Tian?
I have heard that Li Tong Tian can really go up to the heaven. (Tong Tian = connect to the heaven)
Don't worry. We have a secret weapon at the court.
Dai Bo said Li Dong Tian is very treacherous.
He would often find unbelievable evidence.
Are you confident?
I don't have iron evidence. Even if he can connect to the heaven, so what!
Can he make the evidence to disappear?
But we haven't find out witness yet.
Don't worry. I will manage that. Don't worry.
That girl went to same kindergarten with him.
They have been going out for so long?
Yes. He really like that girl.
He even given his only candy to her.
2nd girlfriend was in the elementary school.
Enough. Don't talk about the old time. I want to hear about now.
Does he have a girlfriend right now?
