What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"Then fill out the form!"

After completing the case filing approval form, Old Tang was told to go back and wait for news.

Two days later, the Arbitration Commission called to inform him that the case had been filed.

...

Xiping City Hongtong Property Management Co., Ltd., is considered one of the largest labor outsourcing companies in Xiping City, and without doubt, those who can contract such services all have their connections.

Many institutions in Anchang District have contracted out services such as cleaning and security to this company.

Today was just an ordinary day for the company's boss, Li Chang'an.

After drinking some tea in his office, he was ready to head out, relationships needed to be maintained.

But just as he reached the door, he received a call from the company's HR manager.

"Hello Old Bai, what's the matter now? Huh? Our company is involved in labor arbitration? Who did this?" Li Chang'an said with some impatience.

It was rare for their company to dismiss people; most of the time, the cleaners would leave on their own because they found the salary too low for the amount of work.

Running this kind of company, as long as you have connections, you could basically say it's a guaranteed profit.

And now, someone had filed for arbitration? Could it be the security guards?

The cleaners were older and even if they were dismissed, they would accept their fate without fuss.

The security staff, some of whom were younger, were more prone to causing trouble when there were issues.

Over the phone, the HR manager began: "It's a former cleaner who was dismissed from our company, named Wang Cuicui, fifty years old, you remember her, right? She was dismissed by HR through normal procedures."

When they reached retirement age, HR would definitely dismiss them, and if they still wanted to work, they would be rehired under a labor relationship.

Even though they had previously signed a labor contract, the company knew that contract was risky, as it could easily be deemed an employment contract if someone insisted on it.

It was safer to sign a labor contract again after retirement.

Unexpectedly, this person went straight to arbitration, claiming wrongful dismissal.

"If it was a normal dismissal, why file for labor arbitration, and how did it even get filed? Alright, just have someone deal with it casually," he said.

After hanging up, Li Chang'an no longer paid any attention, as a boss like him wouldn't be concerned about a cleaner.

The HR manager quickly found the company's legal counsel, a young person who had just passed the bar.

Legal counsel, well, those who understand, understand; very few who make it in the lawyer industry end up returning to a legal counsel position.

After all, non-litigation in a legal counsel role and in the elite law firms is totally different...

The young man's surname was Jiang, named Jiang Shubo, and after reviewing the application with great seriousness, he confidently said, "Don't worry, manager, we have the advantage in this arbitration!"

"The law stipulates that upon reaching the statutory retirement age..."

Jiang Shubo hadn't finished speaking when the manager interrupted, "Fine, make sure you handle it well at the hearing three days from now. Don't forget to go."

Having said that, the manager left.

Jiang Shubo didn't mind. He had joined the company as legal counsel with no intention of going to court, but now, unexpectedly, he would be able to appear in an arbitration hearing.

Although it wasn't the same as being in court, it was still pretty good.

However, the name of the opposing arbitration agent seemed familiar, as if he had seen it before somewhere.

He decided not to dwell on it. With a case like this, even a dog on their side could win. He couldn't understand what the lawyer on the other side was thinking.

Soon, the day of the hearing arrived, and Old Tang arrived at the arbitration tribunal on time. He immediately saw a young man seated in the respondent's position, looking very confident.

Alas, to be young and inexperienced in the harsh ways of society. Today, let me, Tang Fangjing, give you that lesson.

After a short wait, the arbitrator arrived, and perhaps the Arbitration Commission thought the facts of the case weren't too complex, so they hadn't convened a panel.

The arbitrator responsible for this case was named He Yisi, who looked at both parties and said, "You've both arrived, have you? Well then, let's see if we can settle this first."

"I don't think this issue is that serious. You're Lawyer Tang, right? I recognize your name; you're Tang Fangjing from Jingzhou..."

He Yisi hadn't finished speaking when the man opposite suddenly stood up and took off his coat.

On his white T-shirt were printed bold letters: Jingzhou City's Dump Truck Nemesis, Tang Fangjing, Genuine Guarantees!

He Yisi was stunned, and so was Jiang Shubo opposite.

Especially Jiang Shubo, who was dumbfounded; the lawyer opposite was Tang Fangjing?

No, wasn't Tang Fangjing hospitalized in Luzhou? How did he suddenly appear in Hanxi Province?

Because Old Tang left the hospital quietly, others' memories of him remained at Luzhou Second Hospital.

Old Tang put his clothes back on and said, "Alright, can we start now?"

Coming back to her senses, He Yisi quickly nodded and said, "Let's begin. Lawyer Tang, you're sure you didn't file anything incorrectly, right? The other party was dismissed after reaching the legal retirement age..."

Her words were now less certain, mainly because of the reputation of Old Tang.

To this, Old Tang replied directly, "There's no mistake. If the other party is willing to settle, then paying the wrongful dismissal compensation will suffice. If not, I request the hearing proceed."

Jiang Shubo remained silent. Knowing it was Tang Fangjing on the other side, his mind was filled with one thought: Had he oversimplified the case?

After all, the opponent was a well-known attorney, and filing such an arbitration suggested they had good reason!

But why?

Seeing that persuasion was futile, He Yisi declared the hearing open.

Following due process, and after all was in order, the two formally clashed.
