You're Fired !

Because he had to rush to the company at 6 o’clock in the morning to finalize the negotiation plan, Jungkook originally planned to quietly get up without waking up Lisa, leaving her to continue sleeping. However, he didn’t expect her to be very alert, and with just a slight movement due to the way he was holding her, Lisa opened her eyes.

Then she clung to Jungkook…

After Lisa finished freshening up and sat at the dining table, calmly drinking her milk while keeping her gaze fixed on Jungkook, her tone quite determined. “I’m going with you.”

Although Jungkook no longer minded losing as much in his heart, he still didn’t want his girlfriend to witness the process of him losing.

Subconsciously, he tried to find a reason to refuse. “The company hasn’t hired you as a lawyer, so stay in the hotel and wait for me.” He kissed Lisa’s cheek. “I’ll come back as soon as possible.”

Lisa nodded understandingly. “Right, I haven’t signed any representation agreement with the company.” Then she looked up at Jungkook .“But I remember when I joined JJ firms, in addition to being an independent commission-based lawyer, I also took on the role of your assistant. It’s fine if I don’t go as the attorney representing this case, I can go with you as your assistant.”

“…”

When it came to twisting logic and reasoning, Jungkook felt like he was no longer Lisa’s match.

But whenever Lisa  dealt with him, she always had a way. After she finished with her twisted logic and reasoning, she tilted her head slightly and looked at him with gentle and obedient eyes before speaking softly.
“I just want to be by your side at times like this. Jungkook, is that okay?”

Jungkook pursed his lips. “Stop acting cute. It won’t work.”

But despite saying that, fifteen minutes later, Jungkook found himself sitting in the same car as Lisa, his face cold and stern…

Unfortunately, Lisa’s act of cuteness always worked.

Ji Wook, the person in charge of the nanotechnology company, received Lisa and Jungkook. Lisa attended in her role as an assistant and sat quietly in the meeting room, listening to Jungkook and the other party discuss different proposals and explaining any potentialities that may arise in the upcoming negotiations. Nara was visibly worried about the current situation and added some details, but it didn’t provide much help in supporting a winning negotiation.

“In any case, be prepared for the worst and listen to what the employees have to say,” Jungkook, always a reliable and composed figure in front of clients, spoke calmly. “The more critical the situation, the more you need to remain calm and indifferent, not revealing your emotions or bottom line to the representatives of the labor force who come to negotiate. Stay steady, don’t show any expressions. Leave the rest of the negotiation to me, but first, let’s understand their demands. Generally speaking, at times like these, the employees just want to quickly and easily get their money without going through the hassle of going to court. Besides, they are well aware that the labor contracts were signed but destroyed by the executives. However, they don’t have access to our information and are unaware if we have any other evidence to prove the existence of written contracts. So, the first negotiation is crucial. It’s a kind of probing for both parties. If the company shows any signs of weakness, the employees will make outrageous demands. In labor disputes, during the first negotiation, as long as the workers and the company haven’t completely severed ties, there is still a possibility of reaching a compromise where both parties make concessions. After all, arbitration and litigation are time-consuming and draining. So, let’s first hear the initial demands from the employee representatives during this first negotiation,” Jungkook furrowed his brow slightly. “Based on my experience, as long as their attitude isn’t too firm, their initial offer can be negotiated. It will require multiple rounds of negotiations and finding a middle ground while testing each other’s bottom lines. It can become a psychological battle as well. You need to be prepared.”
