Why would you do this
Because it is right
Why right
You're selling our client out
Zhang Ke thought he would be
taken seriously when he
signed this non-compete agreement
and would have a bright future
but it was unexpected that Zheng Kaixuan
If this is reasonable
Whoever has signed this non-compete agreement
can make excuses by
saying he suffers from injustice
And can demand abatement of this non-compete agreement
Be it the case
There is no necessity for this non-compete agreement
But if we still have
a slight tint of sympathy
How clever you've thought you are
I warn you
That sympathy you've said
Have severely undermined
Our bailor's legal rights
And because of your fancy of smartness
We have to resort to
a more strict legal procedure
to suit Zhang Ke into penniless
Now there's two options for you
First, settle all these problems
Second, quit right away
We're now searching for a new legal consultant
If you don't mind
I'm not here for finding a job
I'm here to introduce investors to you
Oh
Zheng Kaixuan
you're kidding
I'm serious
I would take it as a joke
Would you like to have a look at
the draft agreement I made for you
Then you are flogging a dead horse
I have seen an interview recently
It's about Zheng Kaixuan
He said once he was swelling
Once
one of his best brothers told him
others would also like to invest
then he got very angry
and thought it was betrayal
then he did many wrong things
against that brother
now he deeply regrets
He truly hopes that this brother
can give him an opportunity
to make a compensation
Then why does he not talk direct to me
You know how a rigid man's character would be
this is his way of making an apology
The promise he made
is better than any other investors
actually
I should make an apology to you
Though it is
practicable to register a company
in the name of your wife
to avoid the non-compete agreement
but it still risks of lawsuit
If Zheng Kaixuan
Really want to make trouble of you
and report to lawsuit
then your company
no, your wife's company
would be in the mire of lawsuit
I'm so sorry Mr. Zhang Ke
I'm not supposed to
make such an arbitrary suggestion
Tell Lina to call Zheng Kaixuan
tell him that the agreement is already signed
Ok
Is there anything else
You'll be dismissed then
Lawyer's letter Legal opinion
Statement of complaint statement of Defense
You should spend some more time
on Unfair competition laws
The reason why Bai Jinghong's suited
is leakage of business secret
But she seems not our client
She will be soon
I think her case of leakage of business secret
applies to certain regulations of industrial and commercial bureau
not all secret are business secret
Then go and search out
all regulations
that relevant to
leakage of business secret
I've sent them to you
Why you're still working
I do think she looks like
the food delivery server
How do you recognize that
she just looks like from appearance
Dare you gossip about Robin
I'm not gossiping about him
Then why would you say his assistant looks like a food delivery server
I don't mean what I am saying
What would feel
if someone say
you make an
illiterate girl
assistant of you
Then I would not be on speaking term with that person
I do enjoy my professional glory
Whoever recruited by our law firm
Regardless of age or gender
must come from a prestiged education background
What do you mean by saying
that Robin have make
a food delivery server his assistant
I just say she looks like
Are you a prosopagnosia
Yes, I do usually mistake one person as another
I have prosopagnosia
I'm not saying that
I'm not being malicious
Please don't make any misunderstanding
I'm not misunderstanding, all good for you
I'll speak carefully in future
Get off work and have a good rest, go ahead
I have prosopagnosia
Gu Jie is waiting for you in the office
Does she mention anything
Something about Bai Jinghong
Do you want to talk to me
Yes, do you still remember Bai Jinghong
Bai Jinghong
of course
She was very excited last night
and told me by phone
to find
the best lawyer specializing in
intellectual property
You should have told her that
even the best nanny
are not on call at all times
It's emergency
It's always emergent whatever you've got
She is now the defendant
It may take sometime to think for a plaintiff
but defendants are always in unexpected misfortunes
She is a client of Liao Jiamin
Long since that, she has changed several lawyers already
Hello, GM Bai
Yes
I'm right here at lawyer Robin's office
He has agreed
Yes
Ok, see you later
Bai Jinghong will be here soon
I'm not agreeing anything with you
Please, I owe you
Bai Jinghong is my best friend
You should have said
you want make her the most valuable client of you
We can do it together
No, you should know that
It is a premise before I deal with any client
that I will not cooperate with any other lawyers
I will not interfere your business
This is my principle
But Bai Jinghong is a friend of mine
I introduce her to you
You can take her back
if you are regret now
Listen to me
Bai Jinghong is suspicious and troublesome
I'm worrying that she would designate me to cooperate with you
for we have been in acquaintance
for a long time
and thus being more trustworthy
Such being the case
she would have been a client of you
It's because I don't want to meddle in
any interests between acquaintances
So you are saying that
you are no longer an acquaintance of her
Could I ask you a question
Yes
Why would you never
cooperate with other lawyers
Lest credit be taken from you
Lest holding liabilities for others
Liabilities
But you've never lost any suit
Because I know that if I lost
I will not put my liability on anyone
I used to be a leader of product design in another company
Later Ms. Bai invites me as General Designer
So you're saying that
Yaobin firm suited you
with hatred for your quit
and dragged Bai Jinghong in
to shoulder a joint liability
They called me saying that
I would be ok if I fire Maggie
How little they know of me
Threat doesn't work to me
Please send me a court summons
If I fire my General Designer
as per your will
It going to be a joke
No one would come to work in my company
It's not time to make things worse now
How did they find that you leaked their business secret
and catch you
It was just one day
I went online and chat with my former colleague
He sent me their design drawings
and ask me to offer some advice
Unexpectedly, their leader came across this
and called the police
I think it is a trip
Since it was the employee who sent me the design drawings
They should have suited their employee
instead of me
They have the right to suit anyone
or not to suit
What I should say is that
we should not focus on
who made the frame
not on feud between two companies
Right
Because we are still not sure
and we have no evidence
What we should do now
is to calm ourself down
We can say it's the designer in their company
who sent us the design drawings
so the leakage of secret is not our liability
No
If we admit their leakage
we are dragging Ms. Bai
into the mire of actual infringement
Yes
That amounts to admit that
we did steal their design drawings
and apply it into our product
so they can demand us
to stop infringement
and take our product off the shelves
So we should deny that
those design drawings
are not business secret at all
Yes, exactly
In that case
there will be no leakage any more
Then how could explain
the action of sending design drawings
by a design in one company
to his countpart in another company
through online chatting software
It's very simple
That's just the exchange of ideas and experience
between two designers from different companies
How could you prove that these design drawings
are not business secret
Those design drawings
are purchased from suppliers
As long as
there's no evidence
of franchise
those design drawings should not be taken
as public know business secret
Is the person who I recommend reliable
Definitely
So let's sign the agreement
So we are just as the saying goes
suffer from unexpected accident while doing nothing
Hello
I didn't order any food delivery online for him
Maybe he ordered himself
Ok, I know, thank you
I'm going to meet my client
They want to find the best counsel
and finally have me
They did search the internet and find you
No, someone recommended ten lawyers to them
and they finally chose me as
the best candidate after deliberation
Then it must be your friend
who made the recommendation
It was my junior sister apprentice Julie
who made the recommendation
In order to make sure that you will be chosen
she also recommended the other nine inferior lawyer
Stop saying that
Is this my food taken-out
I'm not here for delivering the food
Don't you say that there's food delivered for me
Are you looking for lawyer Robin
Robin, this is Ellen
I'm very grateful to you for fighting justice for my father
You know lawyer Robin?
Thank you
Thank you for compiling the demand letter for my father
We made arbitration
and confirm that was occupational injury
Thank you so much
You are really a kind-hearted man
No no no, that wasn't me
You are indeed a kind-hearted man
I have delivered food for many people
I arrived late that day on delivering your order
but you neither cancel your order
nor make negative comment
I'm really grateful to you
Yeah
This is made by my mom
as a little gift from us for your kind help
it's stimmered pig's feet
thanks for your gift
but
I'm not Robin
I'm not lawyer Robin
we are colleagues
on very good working terms
there's a public welfare center
in our law firm
which is run by me
don't worry
I'll write Robin's kind-heartedness
of helping your father
down into my working report
so in future
you can come to me
if you have any problem
just call me lawyer Sai He
Thank you
Ah ah
Lina
This is secretary to lawyer Robin
please remind her of delivering this to Robin
thank you
please do deliver this
to Robin
No worries
Thank you
A little gift from us
Thank you
Uncle Sai He
GM Zhao
This is lawyer Sai He
Mr. He, nice to meet you, my name is Yao Zhao
Nice to know you, this is Sai He from Quanjing law firm
Please have a seat
Is Zhao Bin your younger brother
Yes
That's why our firm is named after Yaobin
How come that you know my brother
He once lost in a suit
He was the defendant and I was the lawyer of the plaintiff
I defeated his lawyer
So your father is He Jiayi
That's why you never lose any law suit
No
All the law suits I have successfully had
has nothing to do with my father
Actually my father opposed me
to become a lawyer
I have never mentioned to my father about
any one of my clients
If you come to me, then
No no no, it's because I'm pregnant
I'm afraid that the court open day
would be the same day with my expected date of confinement
so I recommended you to GM Zhao
Yes
Julie didn't say anything
about your father when she recommended you to me
She just say that
you are her senior fellow apprentice
a famous lawyer
and never be defeated
Actually it's not exactly to say so
But indeed hardly could anyone defeat me
Why we discharge Ma Xiaoju is that
We confirm the payroll that Ma Xiaoju posted online
is actually his payroll
and posted by himself
but on part of the payroll screenshot
that forwarded online
we can hardly find any name or company
so we can plea
that it is not rational to affirm leakage
just by company internal investigation
The company would deem that
they have made it clear
salary is highly confidential
and employees should not talk about salary
Besides, Ma Xiaoju has signed
this confidential agreement with his company
Yes, you are right
There is no law or regulation items about
salary confidentiality at present
In practicable cases, they do have
salary confidentiality agreement as long as
the principle of same work, same pay is abided by
And there's no way to prove that
Ma Xiaoju uploaded his payroll by himself
Ok, you'll be writing the statement of lawyer
It's done
What's this
This is your reward for doing public welfare
It is from Ellen
Made by his mom
How do you know that
Because I have had it before
Come on
Let's have it together
Come on
Really delicious
Tasty, huh
Be careful
Don't be arrogant for doing public welfare
This is also mine
You can have some more
Hello
Could you please order me a food taken-out
What would you like
pig's feet
stimmered pig's feet
Robin
Would you come with me to buy breakfast
I won't
Neither do I
You just said that you would
I mean we go together
If you buy it, so do I. but if you won't, neither do I
Why
Fengyin told me that
what you did is not directed against me
you're a guy of a little aloof and proud
I always think that
I was easy to get along with
Yesterday I saw our junior sister apprentice Julie
Do you still remember her
Did she mention that she would recommend a case for you
Yes
She's pregnant
How do you know that
Otherwise she would have taken it
instead of introducing to you
She has done almost a half
The case has been in court
I was still wondering
Why she would come to you, not me
Is there any conflict happened between you two
Then it must be Yaobin's case
She came to you
but you can't take it over
Why
Because of interest conflict
With whom
Bai Jinghong
Did you sign agreement with Bai Jinghong
Not yet, but we will sign it by today
Me too
I have decided that
If Bai Jinghong
saw this
He would think that I was partial toward you
It must be Bai Jinghong
Bai Jinghong is more likely to win
The risk agent that we have signed will get more profit
Let's leave out win or loss
We should share with
Julie about Yaobin's case
After all, she did a part of the work
Sai He would not consider in that way
If he do want to take over Yaobin's case
He can only change to another firm
That's not what I would like to see
So it's up to you in the next step
You spare a client to him
Ren Xiaonian
GM Liu, please give me a minute
I'm coming
Picking up one of my client to Sai He
Ren Xiaonian
The GM won't agree
What Sai He needs is
to sing Surrender with waist bent
Can't you bent
or can't you sing?
I can do either, but not together
When will Bai Jinghong come
Eleven, but she would always be late
Ren Xiaonian recommended a client
Liu Qianjin
who has spent 5,2 million to buy a Rolls-Royce
but it turned out to be a second-hand car
so he went to the court
but lost the first instance
He should have found a better lawyer
Recommend him to Sai He
This is consumer fraud
That's just what Sai He good at
What
A gift
Why send me a gift
Hoping that you would take over a case
Did Robin ask you to do this
Will you take it or not
Why doesn't he take by himself
You guess
Is it because he feels guilty to me
Or the case is too thorny
This client is too difficult to deal with
Sai He
That's all designer tea set in it
I'm taking it
I leave it here
all because of you
not him
I introduced Liao Jiamin to Yaobin
please do not hate me
Why would hate you
Ok, then let's bury the hatchet
I
accept your apology
my apology
What kind of wrongness did I do to you
Robin
I know what kind of wrong thing you have done
I don't know that
You have no idea of your wrong action?
You told Lina to send me a gift
What gift
Tea set
Lina said it was me who want to send this
I know
Because Lina thought you're wrong
So she send the gift for you
I'm sorry
No, you don't understand
The reason why Lina send you a gift
is that she want to sooth the tense relationship between us
Then whose fault was it that made
so tense a relationship between us
If there's a tense relationship between Lian Po and Lin Xiangru
whose fault is it
Lian Po or Lin Xiangru
Do mean that I'm Lian Po
and I should torture myself and apologize to you
No
It's Heshibi's fault
If there's no Heshibi
what kind of reputation can Lin Xiangru attain
by sending it in complete form to Zhao dynasty
I should make myself clear
We do have different opinions on Ren Xiaonian's case
but Ren Xiaonian
is not up to a piece of Heshibi
He is at most a fish on the cutting board
You are proud of striving for the best interests for your client
I'm not the same kind of person as you
You take it a shame
Yes
I take it a shame
on acting as agent for clients like Ren Xiaonian
deeply
I study law not for
earning interest for people
like him
it is not until now that I understand the reason
why I would study law
Because Ren Xiaonian would not able to
plea a lawyer if everyone who study law
have the same thought as you
This is unfair
Don't mention it
to carry out work for allocation of reserved meat from central committee
to jointly allocate reserved meat from central committee to the public
ten thousand tons
enlarge the supply of meat in the market
is competing in
an endless dream
What can be done
the smoke of gunpowder never disappear
What can be done
though heavily damaged
Director Liao
You're more handsome than before
You look like younger than before
I hear that you've been in competition with Sai He
It must be Mai Fei who said this
He sandwiched in between
you and Sai He
when he was in your firm for internship
But he was greatly admired by you
After leaving office, defendant Maggie constantly acquire
design drawings of Yaobin firm
through former colleague Li Yunbo
These design drawings
are all for production
in Yaobin firm
All the product size
color and patterns on the design drawings
are business secrets of Yaobin firm
technical secret
is designed for solving certain problems in technology
the design, procedure
and techniques that obtained
through intellectual labor
Besides, if it was to form business secret
the claimed information should not be in common confidential status
And it also challenging
From 4S store
Computer test records
Most facilities of the car
also reveals a total of
5,515km mileage
for most part of the car facility
while a total of 1,767km mileage
Defendant Maggie take advantage of her intimate relationship with
former colleague Li Yunbo
to steal highly confidential design drawings
of Yaobin firm
The evidence provided by the plaintiff
is normal information exchange
between two former colleague designers
The mobile company sold
a second-hand Rolls-Royce to client
as a new car
after distorting the odometer
The color, product size and patterns
on the involved design drawings
are not technical secret information
that fall within the law claimed protection scope
it is sales fraud in essence
Jinghong Group, where the defendant has worked for
shall assume joint liability for compensation
All rise
Now we pronounce our judgment
The pattern, product size of the involved design drawings
belong to contents that can be obtained by direct observation
The pattern, product size
do not contain any technical skills
and are not able to solve any technical problems
shall not fall within protection object of technical secret
All in all
The court rejects Yaobin firm's lawsuit
Liu Qianjin's claim was ruled by the court of first instance
for a lack of evidence
The case is appealed to intermediate people's court
I'm Mr. Liu's lawyer for the second instance
We have found evidence in the 4S store
You must arrange a pre-plan for deployment procedure
for Ren Xiaonian's company right now
deployment
How many staff
I'll email you the laid off list
The company hope these people would leave by themselves
You'll be responsible for their signature
Don't they have any department of human resource
Department of human resources also on the list
What if the staff would not leave by themselves
Then you shall tell them the possible consequence
For example
Get fired
Why
You should find a legal excuse for firing them
Is there any problem with Ren Xiaonian's company
It's merger acquisition
Go ahead, deliberate on it
including legal procedure
internal communication within the corporate
and procedures for leaving the office
should all be abiding by the law
and avoid legal disputes
Things like this kind
even if you and I both
do not willing to take it
deployment will still take place in Ren Xiaonian's company
and highly possible that
disastrous consequences would occur
for their lack of professionality
Apart from the laid off list, I need
a list of all the staff in their company
and their performance
salary
and family condition
I've send them all to you
Please come in
Hello
We are the counsel for your company
Could you please not laying me off
I have worked 24 years in this company
I'm one of the managing directors here
For all the 24 years I have served
I have contributed a lot even if without excellent performance
Could you please not laying me off
Would like to have a look at
The compensation fee that the company offers to you
This is the deployment agreement
You can sign it if you agree
We can explain it to you
if you would not agree
You can achieve higher aims but the company has nothing to choose from
It's better now than late
How is everything going
They've all signed
Quite efficient
Let's have dinner together
I'm afraid not
It's all here
Ok, thank you
You've done a great job
It's nothing
I have another thing
to consult
Please just say it
Please have a seat
If some employee get a serious disease
I mean, the kind needs longtime treatment
leading to disablement
such as cancer
Dai Xi, come here and explain to GM Ren
related law and regulations
According to the regulation Opinions from the Labor department
on execution of the Labor Law of PRC Item 59
The company should pay sick leave salary
or disease relief cost according to related regulations
during the treatment period for
staff in disease or treatment of non-work-related injury
salary might be paid lower than the local minimum salary standard
but should not be lower than
80% of the local minimum salary standard
Really
Dai Xi is very professional
Brilliant
Could you help to dismiss another staff
Do you mean, now
Better now
It's already off time for working
I'll offer you overtime pay
I mean, the staff you want to be laid off is off work now
He is in hospital with cancer
Jun Wu
How do you know that
She knows every listed staff
in your company
Their name, age, gender and length of service
And their family condition, characters
and compensation items
even if the possible reactions
on heard of being laid off
Good work
Is Jun Wu is one of your high school classmate
Yes
He was already in when you established this company
He was promoted to manager of VIP client two years ago
He expressed his deepest wish
in his inauguration
that he would service this company until retirement
But later he suffered from cancer
But now his situation is stable
after treatment
Yes
so he propose to return to work
but his health condition
is too vulnerable to work so hard as a directing manager
His young son
unemployed wife
He has spent a large amount of money
for treatment
Everyone should face his own
difficulties in life, right?
I understand that
But what confuses me is that
you are able to help him
Why would you
You'll go directly to the hospital
I don't mind what your method is
Just let him sign and leave
I'm sorry I can't
Fine
Lawyer Robin
Can I ask you to fire her right now
I'm sorry
Neither can I do that
Why
Because she is a professional
She is familiar with our nation's laws
We are not able to assume the
legal consequences for dismissing her
There's a hundred legitimate
ways to dismiss someone
This is what you just told me
Now I want you to show me
I'm sorry
We can't do that
You should apologize to Ren Xiaonian and me
Why should I apologize to him
Stop talking
He is the most important client of me
When did our law firm's value
changed to
money-oriented
Listen to me
I told you to apologize to him
not because that he is wealthy
but because you just said
he is the most important client of our firm
What I have said is fact
He is not just the most important client of us
He also introduced so many clients here
It won't be so simple
if he is gone
I don't think that we can gain his respect
by bending to him
in order to retain him
There are many lawyers
and law firms
who are willing to bend to him
But have you ever think about
why he would choose us
instead of those lawyers or firms
So let's make a deal
dismiss your assistant
If she leaves, so do I
I
We don't have the kind of intimate relationship you're supposing
Then why would you risk of irritate your client
for her
For fairness
She irritated my client
I have blamed her on this point
How am I supposed to report to Ren Xiaonian
I have never seen him in such a kind of fury
ever since I know him
Then you can say to him
That assistant is still young
She lacks communication experiences
with VIP client
We'll strengthen her professional training
in future
But
We can't dismiss her
for saying the truth
I'm not a person of that kind
You are also not a leader of that kind
And our firm is also
not one of that kind
Am I right
You should able to make a joke
Then would you like to see me
pulling a long face
Be serious
Please do not mad at me
What if I do not accept
Then I would hold up it for you all the time
Be serious
Thank you for your wise leadership
