The Price Of Ambition (Yizhan)

Chapter 17

The tranquility of their family life was soon interrupted by an unexpected legal challenge. The trouble began when Wang Yibo received a legal notice related to Wang's Cooperation. An ex-employee, feeling wronged by a dismissal, had filed a lawsuit against the company for unfair termination and damages.

Yibo, who had been managing the company's affairs diligently, was caught off guard by the lawsuit. The timing was particularly challenging as he was just beginning to rebuild his relationship with Xiao Zhan and manage his responsibilities as a father.

One morning, Yibo convened a meeting with the legal team at Wang's Cooperation. Xiao Zhan, who had just returned from his residency, joined him to offer support.

Yibo paced the conference room, his face tense. "We need to handle this situation carefully. The ex-employee is demanding a significant amount of money and is accusing us of wrongful termination."

The lead lawyer, Ms. Li, spoke up. "We have a strong case, but we need to gather all the relevant documentation and evidence to prove that the termination was justified."

Xiao Zhan, sitting beside Yibo, reached out to hold his hand. "We'll get through this. We just need to stay organized and focused."

Yibo nodded, appreciating Zhan's support. "Thank you. I just want to ensure this doesn't impact the company or our family."

Over the next few weeks, Yibo and his legal team worked tirelessly to prepare for the court case. Xiao Zhan was deeply involved in managing the studio and supporting Yibo through the stressful period.

One evening, after a long day, Yibo and Xiao Zhan were at home discussing the ongoing case. Shean was asleep, and the house was quiet except for the soft hum of the air conditioning.

"We've gathered all the evidence and documentation," Yibo said, rubbing his temples. "I just hope it's enough."

Xiao Zhan placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "It will be. We've done everything we can. Let's focus on staying positive and preparing for the hearing."

As the court date approached, Yibo received an unexpected visit from his Brother, Mr. Wang Hai Kuan , who had came from Shanghai. Hai Kuan was deeply concerned about his brother's well-being and the company's future.

"Yibo, I'm here to help in any way I can," Hai Kuan said firmly. "Let's make sure we have everything in order."

He joined Yibo and the legal team in reviewing the case, offering valuable insights and assistance. His presence was a comforting reminder that the family was united in facing the challenge.

The day of the court hearing arrived, and the atmosphere was tense. Yibo and Xiao Zhan arrived early, accompanied by their legal team. They were determined to handle the situation with professionalism and composure.

In the courtroom, Ms. Li presented the case with confidence, detailing the justification for the termination and presenting evidence that supported their position. Yibo and Xiao Zhan watched from the sidelines, their nerves on edge.

As the hearing progressed, Yibo felt a mix of anxiety and hope. The ex-employee's claims were scrutinized, and the legal team made a strong case for their defense.

After several hours, the hearing concluded, and the judge announced that the case would be reviewed over the next few weeks before a final decision was made.

Yibo and Xiao Zhan left the courtroom, exhausted but relieved that the initial proceedings were over. They held each other tightly, finding solace in their shared strength.

"We did everything we could," Yibo said quietly. "Now we just have to wait for the verdict."

Xiao Zhan nodded, resting his head on Yibo's shoulder. "We'll get through this. No matter what happens, we have each other."
