What's wrong with this lawyer?!

This system is too timid, can't it be a bit bolder? Before, it would always add a "black heart," but now it doesn't even dare to add one.

Old Tang was inwardly grumbling about this, and the reason he was planning to take on the case so quickly was, of course, because the system mission had already been activated.

The system definitely doesn't issue missions that are sure to lose.

However, after saying that, he immediately realized he was being a little too eager and quickly added, "That being said, there's no rush to sign the contract, you both can continue to discuss any issues you have."

Upon hearing this, Li Yong, who was somewhat hesitant, spoke up again, "Lawyer Tang, actually, my mother's attitude is quite conflicted. On one hand, she wants to continue working there since it's been such a long time, but if she goes back, they're not offering the same rate as before."

"On the other hand, she feels that, having worked there for so many years, they should have contributed to social security on her behalf. Yet from the time they told her she could retire until now, they never did."

Old Tang, after hearing this, glanced at the materials and said, "Oh, I see, so the act of terminating your mother's employment was actually carried out by this Xiping City Hongtong Property Management Co., Ltd., right?"

It's inevitable that clients can get confused when narrating their case, so it's essential for the lawyer to pay close attention.

A notice from the court and a notice from the company are two different things.

"Do you remember when you signed the contract with this company?"

In fact, Old Tang was well aware that nowadays, government departments mostly outsource services like cleaning and security.

They hand over the entire project to a specialized company to handle, as this makes things easier.

But, this definitely involves some elderly people, like Li Yong's mother.

She had been cleaning at the court for twenty years, and back then, government departments hired temporary workers themselves, and large-scale labor outsourcing and staffing had not yet started.

Especially in a somewhat remote place like Xiping City, where the economy is not so developed, the start of labor outsourcing was even later.

After thinking for quite a while, Li Yong's mother said, "If I'm not mistaken, it was three years ago, and they had us sign a contract."

"There was a contract? Did they give you a copy after you signed?" asked Old Tang right away.

"No, they just had us sign it, and then I continued to do my job at the court."

Old Tang nodded, "So later on, the cleaning staff's wages were all paid by this company, correct?"

"Yes, all paid by the company."

"Alright, I understand now. So, three years ago you signed a contract with that company, making you their employee, but before that, you actually had a labor relationship with the court," Old Tang explained.

"If I'm not mistaken, when you approached the court, they told you that you are no longer under their management, and directed you to the company, right?" Old Tang continued.

Li Yong nodded in response, "Yes, the second time I went, a person in charge of logistics at the court said that my mom is now under the company's management, that she has no relation to the court now."

Old Tang analyzed, "Now, there are several issues at hand. The first is the issue of your wrongful termination by the company."

Retirement is necessary, but there are also specific regulations for retirement. It's not a given that a worker will retire simply because of age.

Nor is it true that an employer can use age as a justification to terminate an employee whenever they reach a certain age.

If the standards are not met, the employer's termination is considered wrongful, and they need to provide appropriate financial compensation.

"The second issue is that the court has never paid your social security..."

Li Yong stared; he clearly didn't understand. He was only concerned about the social security issue, but after Lawyer Tang's analysis, there was now this issue of wrongful termination.

The idea of being wrongfully terminated by the company sounded confusing.

But looking at it, it seemed like he could obtain quite a bit of money... Is this what it means to be a top-notch lawyer?

Shaking his head to dismiss those thoughts, Li Yong said, "Lawyer Tang, you don't need to explain any further, we can sign the contract, we can sign it right now..."

He had been hesitant, wanting to understand what the situation was, but after listening, he realized he didn't understand at all.

"Don't worry about the legal fees, I never charge much. However, your case is special and might involve multiple lawsuits, so I will charge a fee of five thousand yuan!" Read exclusive chapters at m_v-l'e|m,p y r

This fee was not high at all for such a case; no one in Xiping City would dare take it on!

Even if someone did, at most, they would go after that company, no one would dare directly target the court!

Li Yong nodded and said, "No problem, Lawyer Tang, your fee isn't high. Last time a friend of mine had his wages withheld by his company, and after consulting a lawyer, he ended up spending ten thousand within no time..."

The fee of five thousand yuan stated by Lawyer Tang really didn't match his standing at all.

Soon, Old Tang sent the relevant information back to the law firm, where the assistant girl dispatched from there looked at the message with a blank expression.

She didn't dare to draft the contract, and immediately went to Old Wang's office.

Upon seeing the message, Old Wang was equally astonished, "The court? What is he trying to do, go up against the court? I'll give him a call!"

He had mentioned getting a big case for himself, but he hadn't expected the case to be much bigger than he'd imagined!

To go up against the court, is that even something you can sue over?

After calling Old Tang and quickly connecting, Old Wang started shouting right off the bat.

"Tang Fangjing, have you lost your mind, suing the court? I can't believe you came up with that. Can't you remove the lawsuit request against the court from the case? Why do you think they outsourced?"
