What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Old Bai was fretting there, knowing full well that President Liu appointed him to take over mainly in hopes of delaying things, but now that they had lost miserably, President Liu would definitely not be in a good mood.

He had been working at the company for several years and was very familiar with President Liu's temper.

Usually generous and fair, offering high salaries and bonuses, but he had a volatile temper and was not the kind of leader you could reason with. When angered, he would curse you to high heavens.

However, since the pay was higher than at other places, everyone was willing to work there.

To bring the company to its current state, President Liu naturally had his outstanding qualities.

Old Tang had already packed up and left the arbitration commission, knowing the other party would definitely file a lawsuit. On one hand, the sum of money involved was indeed substantial.

Speaking of substantial, but for a company as large as this, it wasn't really that much.

But just like some companies in reality, they would rather spend a hundred thousand on litigation than pay an employee ten thousand.

Cold hard cash... it's creating sins.

The idea is to not let the employees so easily take control. If you go through arbitration or litigation, we will accept the outcome, but to think you can just open your mouth and get the money? That's impossible!

Even if you go to great lengths and win, you'll only get the compensation you deserve, the company actually doesn't lose anything.

On the other hand, Kaisen Company definitely couldn't just accept this outcome.

Having a labor contract and still being ordered to pay double wages—this was simply unacceptable no matter how they looked at it.

So now, Old Tang was waiting to see what their next move would be; all his preparation for the case was ready.

Time flew by, and two days later, as Old Tang strolled through the streets of Dongshan City, it had to be said that in some respects, Hannan Province was indeed stronger than Handong Province, like Hannan's cuisine for one.

When he had gone to Dongfang City to handle cases, he particularly enjoyed visiting the night market. The food was really delectable, and Dongshan City was similarly impressive in this regard.

As for Handong, only Jingzhou and Lvzhou had decent cuisine; the others were not even worth mentioning.

Then he received a call from the Lanshan District Court.

"Kaisen Company sued, right? Oh, the materials have been sent to me? Okay, I'll head back to the hotel right away."

Hanging up the phone, Old Tang turned around and said, "Qingqing, let's head back to the hotel. They've already filed the lawsuit."

Although Wang Qingqing still wanted to look around, she nodded her head. After all, they were there for work, not to enjoy a romantic getaway.

Old Tang had always found women troublesome, especially those in a relationship, prone to inexplicable issues.

Like those "Are you rushing back because you don't love me anymore?" types of comments that he had enough of in his past life.

Now, Wang Qingqing was really obedient, so he was quite satisfied in this aspect.

They returned to the hotel, only to find a court staffer waiting for them in the lobby.

Normally, it would be impossible for someone to personally deliver the documents, but seeing the name Tang Fangjing, many wanted to meet the famous Lawyer Tang.

Although many in the courts seemed to be at odds with lawyers, that didn't stop the staff from liking Old Tang.

"Lawyer Tang, right? Oh, this is a copy of the complaint, and all the evidence is included here. Just sign here," the young lady handed over the materials.

Old Tang took a look and then signed, "Thanks for the trouble, comrade, for making a special trip."

The staffer quickly replied, "No trouble at all..."

But she thought to herself that Lawyer Tang seemed quite amiable, wondering why online comments often portrayed him as having a bad temper, prone to shouting and yelling...

Old Tang didn't dwell on it, took the materials to his hotel room, and began to read them carefully.

Wang Qingqing had already taken the initiative to pour tea. She wouldn't read the documents; just looking at them gave her a headache.

Old Tang, as he read, suddenly laughed, "Qingqing, you know, this Kaisen Company is quite interesting. They've really come up with a bunch of problems."

Wang Qingqing put down her cup of tea, curious, "What problems? Just tell me, don't make me read it."

"They've dragged in an incident from March this year. Look here, it says Yang Tiezhi took personal leave without approval, left his post for two days, and seriously violated company regulations, resulting in a six-day wage deduction and a warning,"

"Then there's an incident from August, claiming Yang Tiezhi had private discussions with colleagues about salaries, which is a serious violation of company regulations, and they gave him another warning and deducted three days' salary."

"Adding the recent fight, the company regulations stipulate that after three warnings, a labor contract can be terminated. These added up to justify his dismissal, not solely based on the fight, claiming his previous behavior also seriously violated company policies, so the contract termination was legal."

Wang Qingqing frowned, "These companies are really... kind of shameless, aren't they?"

Old Tang laughed out loud, "Shameless? Look at this: it says both sides signed a labor contract and it was given to Yang Tiezhi, but the copy inside the company was 'lost due to certain reasons.'"

"Look at how tightly knit this lie is."

Wang Qingqing fell silent; she had joined Tengda right after graduation. With her uncle's protection and working with Tang Fangjing, she hadn't really experienced the cruelty of the workplace.

So facing this situation now, she was truly bewildered.

Old Tang knew this and didn't continue the topic. Having handled countless labor cases in his past and current lives, he could only say, this was just the tip of the iceberg.
