Although the current rhythm of the phone ringing and vibrating had no change from usual, Jimmy felt that the phone was ringing much faster, and it seemed to be getting faster and more restless.
At this moment, the anxious ringing of the phone finally stopped, leaving a missed call on his phone screen.
Immediately afterwards, he received another text message from his boss, which read: “Get through your damn phone! Immediately! Immediately!”
After seeing this message, Jimmy’s mouth was dry, but he still swallowed hard subconsciously. He had talked too much before, and his throat felt a dry and tearing pain.
But he couldn’t care about it at the moment, because the boss called again.
Because of the text message, Jimmy did not dare to hesitate any longer and could only answer the phone in panic. Looking at Steve who was full of pride, he said to the phone tremblingly: “Old… boss…”
A hysterical roar immediately came from the other side of the phone: “Smith, what on earth did you do outside?! Why did someone from the Rothschild family call to say that the eldest young master is very dissatisfied with you? I am so fucking jealous of Roth.” After serving the Childe family for so many years, I have never had the chance to meet the eldest young master. How the hell did you offend the eldest young master?”
Jimmy’s hanging heart finally fell heavily.
He also hoped that the boss’s call at this time was just a coincidence and had nothing to do with the man in front of him who claimed to be a core member of the Rothschild family.
But as soon as the boss said these words, he knew that he had really offended someone big today.
He looked at Steve with eyes full of despair and pleading, and he could only say with a cry: “Boss, this… this is a misunderstanding. I will explain it to Mr. Rothschild personally…”
“You’re a bullshit explanation!” the other party angrily said: “It’s your fucking turn to explain? I’m telling you, you have been fired from Ellis Law Firm! You don’t need to come to go through the resignation procedures, I will let someone else do it.” Send your things to your home. From now on, I don’t want to see you again, and you don’t want me to see you either!”
When Jimmy heard that his boss was going to fire him, he subconsciously said: “Boss, you have no right to do this! I have always done an excellent job. I get A+ in every assessment every year, and I have options in the firm. Senior partner of the firm, you are not qualified to fire me directly! If you want to fire me forcibly, I will sue the law firm and ask you to pay huge compensation!”
“Am I not qualified?” The other party sneered: “Jimmy, let me remind you, in the years you have been at the law firm, you have dealt with clients who have crossed the firm no less than five times. Not to mention other things, but last year Mel Goode… In the case of the patent dispute between Mann and IBM, if I remember correctly, our law firm offered him a risk agency with a 20% share. It was because he felt that the share ratio was too high, so he privately talked through you and one of your college classmates. The small law firm you opened reached a 10% risk agency cooperation. You were secretly responsible for all work outside of the court hearing. Your college classmate came forward to participate in the trial. In the end, you helped him obtain a patent worth 45 million US dollars from IBM. I got four and a half million dollars in royalties. I didn’t accuse you wrongly, but I can send you to jail for just this one case!”
Jimmy was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat and subconsciously said: “How is this possible! What you are saying is completely nonsense! At that time, Mel Goodman felt that he had a high chance of winning and was unwilling to give up 20% of the profits to Egypt. Liss, that’s why he chose to cooperate with other law firms. As for who he cooperates with, I don’t know at all, let alone participate in it. Don’t slander anyone here!”
The other party chuckled: “Jimmy, come on, we are all adults. There are some things that I don’t need to explain too clearly. Mel Goodman has met you and your college classmates in private many times, and you have also driven there. Mel Goodman had full recordings of many closed-door meetings to discuss the litigation direction and breakthrough points of the entire case, and these recordings are all in my hands.”
Jimmy was frightened when he heard this, and blurted out: “You…you must be lying! How is this possible!”
The other party said: “Jimmy, be more mature. All partners who want to be promoted to senior partners must have enough control in my hands. Otherwise, no matter how strong their business ability is, I will not give it to them.” This opportunity is to prevent any senior partner from grabbing my resources at a critical moment, or trying to bite me when he kicks me away! Think about it carefully, when did you become a senior partner? After Mel Goodman?”
Jimmy murmured in shock: “I was promoted to senior partner the second month after Mel Goodman’s case ended… Could it be… was this all arranged by you?!”
The other party smiled and said: “You are finally smarter.”
