What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Reasonable and lawful lawsuits and appeals, no one can deny you, but arguing with them will lead to nothing and might even bring trouble.

Even if you win the argument, the problem will still remain unresolved.

It's important to realize that whether it's an administrative or judicial organ, although it's composed of individuals, decisions are made in the name of the organ.

So the target is the legal entity of the organ, not the specific people handling the matter.

Old Tang made a phone call to Li Yong: "Right, you go ahead and drive your taxi tomorrow as usual, Auntie and I will handle it, no need to worry about anything else."

"That's right, after you get there, just let her follow my lead, no need to say anything."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yong made a point to instruct others to listen to Lawyer Tang and do whatever Lawyer Tang says.

The thing lawyers fear most isn't those who know nothing; it's those who have half-baked knowledge, just like doctors dread when someone says "but that's not what it says on Baidu."

The next morning, Old Tang arrived at the court of Anzhang District. After a while, Li Yong drove his mother there.

"Let's go, Auntie, don't worry, it's just a casual talk!" Old Tang approached with a smile.

Li Yong's mother's face was tense; although she had worked at the courthouse for many years, she naturally felt fear towards these state organs.

Once inside, a staff member led them all the way to the mediation room.

"Lawyer Tang is here, please take a seat. This lady is Madam Wang, right? Please, everyone, have a seat. Let me introduce myself; I'm the deputy head of Anzhang District Court, my surname is Song."

On hearing this, Old Tang also smiled: "Hello, Deputy Head Song, shall we start then?"

"Let's start. Lawyer Tang, Madam Wang has indeed been working as a cleaner in our court for a long time; there's no need for me to deny that."

The fact is they couldn't deny it even if they wanted to, as the outsourcing company had sold them out completely.

Not to mention she still has her work ID and the work photos from back then... photos that were taken by the court itself.

"The reason why social security was not provided, Lawyer Tang, you have to understand, back then things weren't so regular, and management wasn't strict..."

On hearing this, Old Tang quickly said: "Right, right, I understand, I completely understand."

"So now, regarding the social security issue which can't be back-paid, the leadership also agrees that we handle it privately."

"Look, Madam Wang has worked for twenty years at the courthouse, seventeen of which were under our management. So, we'll calculate the social security contributions for those seventeen years into cash. What do you think, can you accept that?"

"The exact amount for those seventeen years of social security will be calculated by our district social security department."

While speaking, Deputy Head Song looked at Tang Fangjing. The court considered this a very reasonable compensation scheme after discussion.

Li Yong's mother didn't speak. The situation had gone beyond her expectations, and she really wanted to agree.

But Old Tang shook his head and said, "Deputy Head Song, our requirement is for the court to pay the corresponding pension monthly from now on until Madam Wang passes away."

The attitude must be friendly, but what shouldn't be agreed to still couldn't be agreed to.

Missed social security payments and the entitlement to a pension are two entirely different matters.

Deputy Head Song's face changed: "Lawyer Tang, your request is impossible. All of the court's expenditures must have corresponding reasons..."

"Deputy Head Song, I know it's difficult for you, as this is a historical problem from the past, and I understand. But we really can't agree to this; Madam Wang needs a life assurance."

Frankly, even if she was a temporary worker, she deserved equal pay for equal work, not to mention that the Labor Law was introduced in 1995.

And if we give you a leeway by saying that management wasn't strict in 2002, the Labor Contract Law came out in 2007, which is the one we often refer to nowadays.

Yet, the court still didn't provide social security.

Old Tang was amiable, but he was not going to agree.

"This... Lawyer Tang, it was common back then for temporary workers not to have social security provided... "

"Yes, that's common, I understand. We indeed ask for a lot and can't help it; please try to understand us, too."

The negotiation fell through, and even Li Yong's mother felt the leader opposite seemed very angry.

At that moment, Old Tang stood up, his demeanor still pleasant: "Well, Deputy Head Song, since we can't come to an agreement, we'll be on our way, and we'll proceed as per standard procedures."

After that, Old Tang turned and left. Li Yong's mother was momentarily stunned but then got up and followed him out.

Deputy Head Song, who was deliberating over his water, was left speechless.

Are you just... leaving just like that?

You mean I'm still speaking and you just walk out, and what does "proceed as per standard procedures" mean?

Once outside, Old Tang hurriedly said, "Quick, Auntie, don't linger, let's go quickly."

If the mediation fails, it's natural to proceed with formalities. That's correct.

He wasn't concerned with what others thought; as long as he did his duty, that was enough.

Soon, they arrived at the registration court, and Old Tang said to the staff member: "We just tried to mediate, but there's a big disagreement between the two parties, so it was not possible to resolve it. Do you start the registration here?" Experience more on m v|l e'm,p y r

Oh? The staff member fell silent for a moment before saying, "Let me ask..."

"I don't think there's a need to ask. The conditions I stated, your leadership said it couldn't be agreed to, so since that's the case, why not follow normal procedures? Or is there something special about this case?"
