you are so tender

Chapter 21 Say No to Yourself

Before Xiao Chunan arrived, Xu Man went to the company.This is a large private equipment engineering and manufacturing company, whose main business is to provide complete sets of floating dock equipment for US shipping companies.Xu Man learned that two male employees were driving a motorcycle and collided with a turning truck at an intersection. The traffic police identified the truck driver as the primary responsibility, while the injured person was secondary.The injured are seriously injured and have been identified as a ninth-grade disability.The injured employees signed temporary labor contracts with the company, but the company did not purchase social insurance for them.The local Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, that is, the Labor Bureau, determined that the two were involved in a traffic accident on the way to work based on investigations and confessions, so it was identified as a work-related injury.

Xu Man proposed to the company boss Liu Zhihao: "The place of work mentioned in the identification of work-related injuries is a large state-owned heavy industry enterprise in Ma'an Island, and the place of business registration of the company is here, right? These are two completely opposite directions, I think. Know, why would your employees go to another company to work?"

"The situation is like this. The state-owned enterprise on Ma'an Island has a self-built dock, so we cooperate with it on the project, pay a certain percentage of management fees according to the contract target, and use the plant equipment and dock for free. After the complete set of equipment is completed, it can be directly shipped to Customers from the United States." Boss Liu explained.

"That is to say, it is indeed your company's arrangement for employees to go to work on Ma'an Island?" Xu Man asked.

"It can be said like this. But first, the company did not sign any contract directly with this state-owned enterprise. Traffic accidents can be avoided. Because the work order given to them by the workshop director the day before was to go back to the company to pick up the welding torch from the equipment warehouse, and then go to the Ma’an Island construction site.” Boss Liu replied.

"Boss Liu, are you sure that the two employees received the work order before going to work? Did your company show this evidence when the Labor Bureau investigated and collected evidence?" Xu Man asked again.

Boss Liu said: "It is said that the workshop director issued a work order, sent a WeChat message after taking pictures, and called to confirm. I don't know why? On the morning of the accident, those two workers went directly to Ma'an Island!"

"It doesn't matter, Boss Liu." Xu Man said, "As long as your company can prove that the two workers received work orders in advance, they can be exempted from liability."

"This is where the trouble lies. Now the two workers categorically deny that they have received the dispatch order, and the workshop director resigned on his own initiative because of a conflict with a vice president of the company, and took the dispatch order with him. WeChat records." Boss Liu said angrily.

"Where is the workshop director now?" Xu Man asked again.

"Director Xu, I just want to know! Two disabled employees have filed labor arbitration and demanded compensation from the company. I took a look, good guy, the total amount exceeds 100 million. I consulted several lawyers and they all said that I There is no doubt that we will lose. Director Xu, what do you think we should do about this?" Boss Liu said helplessly.

"The current situation is indeed passive. But Boss Liu, you have to believe that the law must be based on facts in the final analysis. If what you told me is true, as long as we can find the workshop director and obtain key evidence, it is not impossible to win the lawsuit Opportunity." Xu Man said.

"Let me tell you, Director Xu, the new labor law has hurt our company! My employees, I don't see how hard they work, but they are more clear about the industrial injury law and labor contract law than I am. I think They spend all their time on how to find the company to be stupid, trying to obtain various compensations, and apply for labor arbitration to demand compensation from the company. The labor department is different from the past. Wow, I think it is getting more and more difficult to run a business now!" Boss Liu poured out his bitterness.

"Boss Liu, I've heard a lot of complaints like this. But the law is the law, so what's the use of complaining? As an enterprise, it can only try to regulate as much as possible. For example, if the company buys social insurance for workers in time, especially work-related injury insurance , Even if they are identified as work-related injuries, the company will not lose too much." Xu Man said.

"Hey, I also know that complaining is useless. Talking too much will cause tears. Tell me, Xu Man, what should we do now?" Boss Liu asked.

"In my opinion, we must suspend the labor arbitration first, that is, postpone the hearing to buy time. Then we will find ways to find key evidence. However, from the situation introduced by Boss Liu, it is very difficult." Xu Man published opinion.

"Director Xu, I'm just so angry about this matter. It's not a work-related injury, but it happened to be a work-related injury. I don't care if I lose some money, but I can't be so wronged. Otherwise, Director Xu, I won't find anyone else. I think you have a clear mind and know where the key points are. I will entrust you with carte blanche and ask you to take charge of this matter personally. In terms of fees, I don’t want to bargain and delay time. Workers' compensation. But there is a condition that you can only receive the 120 million if you win the lawsuit. If you lose, I can only pay lawyers' fees according to the number of lawsuits according to industry rules. Think about it and see how it works no?"

Xu Man didn't expect Boss Liu to be so forthright and bold, but she thought the price was unreasonable, so she replied: "Boss Liu, you won't get paid for nothing. I can't charge you so much money." Grasp, so dare not accept the challenge.Seeing Xu Man's reaction like this, he couldn't help showing hesitation.Xu Man went on to explain: "The key to this case is that there is considerable uncertainty in obtaining evidence. If the resigned workshop director cannot be found and key evidence can be obtained from him, even if an administrative lawsuit is filed, it will only delay some time. Boss Liu, the terms you put forward are equivalent to a bet on each other. I think it is fair. I am not afraid to bet with you, but I think the price of the company is too high. After Wan deducts the necessary compensation for the two disabled employees, the rest of the law firms only get 120%, and the rest goes to the enterprise. Our lawyers provide legal services to the society, as long as the remuneration is reasonable. If this case is passed, Boss Liu will understand The significance and value of legal services, I am more willing to sign a perennial legal service contract with your company, so that your company will not have to rush and spend a lot of money in lawsuits, which is beneficial to both parties."

Boss Liu didn't expect Xu Man to make such a counter-offer, and immediately said: "Director Xu, I am very touched that you are so considerate of our company. Well, I will do as you said. I don't think it is necessary to wait until the case is over. Sign it together with the entrustment of the case. In addition, I dare not say anything about other companies. We have several fixed suppliers. I will tell them and ask them to sign a perennial service contract with your law firm."

Xu Man was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Boss Liu, that's great. However, you don't have to force the supplier, just recommend it to our law firm. Whether to sign the contract depends on their own needs. The case itself is more urgent. I I request your company to assist me as much as possible, and do two things first: one is to ask the HR department to copy all the personal materials of the workshop director to me; Prepare the power of attorney and service contract here, and the power of attorney will be written according to Boss Liu's principles. I ask your company to pay [-]% of the deposit first, and the rest will be settled after the lawsuit is over. I wonder if Boss Liu agrees?"

"No problem. I agree with what you said. Director Xu, please deal with my case urgently. If the law firm has time to prepare, both parties will sign the power of attorney and service contract in the afternoon, and I will pay immediately." Liu The boss made a final decision.

On the day after signing the power of attorney and receiving the deposit, Mingzheng, as the agent of the company, filed an administrative lawsuit with the local No.1 Civil Court, with the Municipal Labor Bureau as the first defendant, requesting to revoke the work-related injury decision.Xu Man only provided a logical reason: the company involved and the state-owned enterprise where the worker claimed to work had no relationship with each other, so it was impossible for the company involved to send its employees to work there.The evidence provided is equally simple: a lease agreement on the place of business registration of the company concerned.Xu Man knew in her heart that this administrative lawsuit would undoubtedly fail. She only wanted to get the court acceptance letter, and then applied to the Development Zone Labor Bureau to suspend the upcoming labor arbitration based on this.

From the personnel files, Xu Man found that the key witness was the workshop director named Wu Minghai, born in the [-]s, from Enshi, Hubei, but the mobile phone number he used at work was turned off, and there was no other contact information in the file.As soon as Xu Man saw the word "Enshi" on Wu Minghai's ID card address, he immediately remembered that Wu Xiaolan's hometown was also in Enshi, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his mind that maybe Wu Xiaolan could help her find key witnesses.Xu Man immediately conceived a plan, only waiting for Xiao Chunan to come to Zhongshan to attend the opening ceremony of the branch, and then return to Hubei with Xiao Chunan. She will go to Enshi to look for key witnesses in this case.

Xiao Chunan arrived as scheduled.After the opening ceremony, she spoke at the shareholder lawyers meeting convened by Xu Man. There was only one core idea, that is, Wuhan Measures, including branches, implement internal corporate management in order to give full play to the natural endowment and professional expertise of each lawyer, so as to provide Society provides the best legal services.She asked the registered lawyers to abandon their individualism and form the concept and habit of teamwork. No matter who finds the client, the case must be handed over to the best lawyer.After the meeting, Xiao Chunan hosted a banquet for all the staff of the branch. After witnessing the thunderous work style of the first sister, they also experienced the lofty sentiments of a female man who never gets drunk.Xiao Chunan set aside a day to discuss the work plans of Xu Man and Qiu Xiaoming. Xu Man reported the situation of the administrative lawsuit. Xiao Chunan felt that the case contained the genes for winning the lawsuit, and asked Xu Man to find key witnesses by all means.Once this case is won, it will definitely establish a reputation of Mingzheng in the local business community and expand a broad channel for the perennial legal service business.

Before returning to Wuhan, Xiao Chunan said to Xu Man: "If it is convenient, I would like to meet Tian Xiaohui who picked me up last time. Can you help me arrange it? Let's have dinner together."

"No problem, male sister. I have been living with her since I came back to Zhongshan. As long as there is no emergency or surgery, we should be able to arrange it." Xu Man said.

When they met again, Xiao Chunan found that Tian Xiaohui had a completely new look.In my impression, her pair of big eyes are the most impressive, but at that time her face was haggard, which represented the unspeakable inner pain.When Xu Man left Wuhan, she told Xiao Chunan that Tian Xiaohui was finally divorced.Xiao Chunan couldn't imagine how this divorced woman suddenly became so glamorous. Seeing her and Xu Man standing together with different postures but complementing each other, Xiao Chunan suddenly felt how well-matched these two city beauties are.At that moment, she seemed to realize something, vaguely judged why Xu Man left her and returned to Zhongshan again.And this woman with an infinite and broad mind instantly released the feelings hidden in her heart.She didn't feel sorry for herself, although she had sighed alone many times, after all, she felt sorry for herself.From Tian Xiaohui—even though she didn't know this woman well, Xiao Chunan realized that he had made a mistake.But instead of a missed opportunity, some sort of misunderstanding occurred.It's not that he misunderstood Xu Man, but he misunderstood himself.Tian Xiaohui's relaxed body and the brilliance in her eyes made Xiao Chunan clearly see her extensive management and heart leaks, so she completely realized that it was not because she was hesitant to move forward that she couldn't get close to Xu Man, But Xu Man never existed in her world.She was wrong, she was wrong.Her desire for Xu Man is just a desire, maybe she needs to love someone, but this person will not be Xu Man.If it is said that she loves Xu Man, then Xu Man cannot be unconscious, unless this kind of love never happened at all.
