Chapter 21: Chapter 10.2 Drag this b!tch straight out of the meridian gate and behead him!

Bai Duanduan knows the situation of Xu Zhixin’s family, and at this moment, after hearing the truth, she was sympathetic and also annoyed, “Why don’t you hire a caregiver? That way your father would have someone to look after him, and you could still get an allowance for your salary at work?”

“Lawyer Bai, it’s not that I don’t want to. I also hired a nurse. At first, I thought it was the most perfect plan. I asked a nurse to help take care of my father during the day and I would come home at night to look after him. At first, it was all right. Later, I found that my father was very resistant to the nurse. When I asked him the reason, he said he could do it alone. At first, I didn’t think much. I thought he wanted to save money and didn’t want to hire a nurse. I told him that if he didn’t hire a nurse, I would have to resign and take care of him myself. He didn’t say anything else after that. But as time went on, I felt that something was wrong, so I kept an eye out and installed a probe in my home.”

Xu Zhixin recalls this part with pain and self-recrimination on his face, “You know what I saw? That woman, whom I spent my money on, was abusing my dad! My dad had no appetite to eat, so she poured boiling hot porridge, cursing and swearing, straight into his neck! When my dad was thirsty and wanted to drink water, the woman wouldn’t give it to him because she was afraid he would have to urinate after drinking it. My dad was bedridden and couldn’t get up, and he couldn’t take care of himself. For fear of trouble that she would have to clean up after him, she ignored his needs! There were all sorts of nasty beatings and scolding, scolding him for not hurrying up and dying!”

Xu Zhixin’s voice trembled, “I then realised what kind of suffering my dad usually suffers every day. I didn’t not hire a caregiver at all, I hired a demon, and my dad didn’t even tell me the truth for fear that it would affect my work and that I would feel bad.”

“Lawyer Bai, you say, what kind of son am I? I let my father down.  Not to mention not living a good life for the rest of his life, even at the last moment of his life, he only endure the torture of illness and he can’t even get water to drink!” Xu Zhixin cried until his heart was torn apart, “What kind of son am I! What kind of a man am I!”

Bai Duanduan felt some sadness and relief in her heart, she had always felt that Xu Zhixin was not someone who maliciously cheated on his sick leave, but now that she had heard it, she realised the original reason behind his action.

“So you have completely lost confidence in the caregiver, and no longer feel comfortable leaving your dad in the care of others, so you thought of taking care of him yourself? But because there was also a big shortage of money for the treatment, the whole family relied on you alone to support them, and you couldn’t quit and still needed the job and the salary, so you came up with the bad trick of cheating on sick leave?”

Xu Zhixin finally calmed down after venting, he nodded with tears streaming down his face, he looked at Ji Lin who did not say a word, his face was dark and uncertain, “Lawyer Ji, I really didn’t mean to cheat on sick leave, my father doesn’t have many months left. I just want to accompany him and take care of him in the last days. I also wanted to take reasonable leave at first, but my annual leave had already been used up during my father’s surgery. If I ask for personal leave again, the company will be unhappy and disagree…. That’s why I made this stupid move. I originally planned to go back to work after my father’s final journey, and do whatever I could for the company, and work overtime to make up for it.”

It was understandable that the company does not agree to such a long period of leave. Xu Zhixin in this company has not yet completed six months of work, there were already a bunch of such and such sick leave. Although they were true, it was also enough to make the company dissatisfied. Now he wants to take a few months of personal leave. Even if he explained the situation and was willing to not take the basic salary, the company would still had to pay his social security, which was not a small amount. Not to mention that Xu Zhixin can’t completely avoid income and can’t afford to pay social security by himself… Of course, the company is not willing to approve such personal leave. Maybe there was an intention to force Xu Zhixin to resign automatically by disagreeing with personal leave at that time.

“This is my fault, but I really do not maliciously intend to cheat the company. Please, can you help me to fight with the company for it and deal with the reason for leaving my job as my voluntary resignation, rather than being dismissed for cheating sick leave and committing serious violation of discipline, otherwise I won’t be able to find another job in this industry in the future.”

This was a heartfelt statement. With these words, Bai Duanduan felt that Ji Lin was probably touched, and things might not stretch this far.

And the whole time, Ji Lin just stood there condescendingly, looking at the man who was on his knees waiting for his trial, and then finally opened his mouth.

“The world kissed me with pain, but I returned with a song? Have you guys been reading too much Chicken Soup for the Soul and think this kind of talk works in real life? Adults have to bear the consequences of any decision they make. You’re wrong, you broke the law, you cheated the company, you only deserve to end up like this.”

It was a pity that Ji Lin was completely indifferent to Xu Zhixin’s tears, his ordeal, his kneeling, “I’m a lawyer, not a middle-aged woman in charge of mediation in the neighborhood committee. I don’t care if you’re miserable or not, and I never believe there’s any win-win situation in labor disputes.”

“You should be even more thankful that I only do labour disputes and only pursue your violations in the area of labour contract law. Otherwise your lending of your medical insurance card is also a violation of the Social Insurance Law and suspected of other violations.”

Xu Zhixin crawled on his knees to Ji Lin’s side, “Lawyer Ji, please be lenient! My father is really dying!”

Even though Xu Zhixin was at fault, the scene was still moving enough, but unfortunately, Ji Lin’s face did not show even a hint of sympathy. His face was quite ugly, as if he was remembering something from the past and even a bit pale. Yet there was only disgust in his eyes and a hint of fleeting hatred. He looked at Xu Zhixin on the ground as if he wanted to say something, but eventually restrained himself and resumed to what could be called his ruthless work style.

He sneered and looked at Bai Duanduan, “I don’t want to comment on his private life, but if I don’t poke holes in this gentleman’s lies, then do you think that it is possible to reach a ‘win-win’ through the so-called concession by each party? Is it just a ‘win-win’ for the enterprise? Knowing that the employee has lied about his sick leave, but having to give in and serve the wolf with good soup and water, expecting the company to pay less compensation, is not a ‘win-win’ for both sides. It is a ‘rape’ for the company. Because there is no way to prove that you are right and that the other party is at fault, you have to swallow the anger in silence.”

“That’s the point why I hate these employees who love to exploit legal loopholes.” Ji Lin’s face showed deep disgust, ” Precisely because there are too many such employees, many enterprises that clearly have a very promising future are just dragged to death.”

“I will not let go of the employee who cheated on sick leave, nor will I let go of the orthopedic surgeon who helped to make up the sick leave slip. I will report to the hospital about her behavior.” Ji Lin’s face was filled with disgust, ” Just  because there are so many people who break the rules without using any brain and get away with it, that it’s so troublesome to gather evidence every time.”

“I will have the settlement agreement on my desk, contact me when you are done thinking about it.” Ji Lin obviously didn’t want to talk any more, he glanced coldly at Xu Zhixin who was still kneeling on the ground, his face was impersonal and cold.

Then he glanced at Bai Duanduan “Remember to pay for the coffee.”

????

No, that’s a bit of a wild jump in conversation, wasn’t it? What’s with that?

Bai Duanduan froze on the spot,”Huh?”

But Ji Lin was all right, “Besides, I’ll send you the bill afterwards.”

“What?”

Ji Lin lifted his chin, “That suit, remember to throw it away for me, it’s been chewed by the dog and the pockets have been torned. You’re responsible for paying for it.”

????

Bai Duanduan was stunned, “Your clothes were damaged by the dog you brought with you, what’s it to me?”

Ji Lin smiled, “It’s because your client cheated and concealed it, forcing me to use this solution, which led to the destruction of my clothes, and I lent it to him to wear, so I have no problem asking him to recover the money, and if he pays for it, he can ask the dog’s owner for recompense.”

Reasonably, it was true, but even if it was damaged, it was because of Xu Zhixin, what did she have to do with it? If it weren’t for the fact that Xu Zhixin was still on the floor in tears, Bai Duanduan would have blurted it out, but now she could only stare at Ji Lin with an angry gaze of defiance.

The only thing is that he was not embarrassed to open his mouth. After reading her thoughts in her eyes, he said, “Yes, in fact, I should pursue your client, but considering your client’s family situation, he is incompetent in execution, so I choose to hold you accountable who is solvent. You are his attorney, and it’s not unjust to bear joint and several liability for this matter. I’ll keep an eye on you. After paying money for this, you can ask from your client for it again. It’s none of my business. “

Ji Lin lightly said, “I can see, don’t you have much compassion and sympathy for him? Sympathy has no power, you might as well help him with something practical to pay for the money.”

In fact, this suit really has nothing to do with Bai Duanduan. She doesn’t need to pay at all, but then Xu Zhixin was in that state… First, he had no money to pay. Second, even if he pays for it, after losing his father, he won’t have the energy to claim compensation from the dog owner. This was a sum of money that may never recover. It may also become the last straw to crush this man…

Bai Duanduan gritted her teeth and agreed to it anyway. If not, Ji Lin would still put pressure on this man who was both pitiful and hateful. Ji Lin was really great. Even if he was right, he did all this deliberately. Either Bai Duanduan asks Xu Zhixin to pay up front and add more troubles to his balance sheet, or she can only… silently accept bills like that.

“So, remember to pay for it.”

“I’ll give you a change and forgo the money for dog food.” Ji Lin smiled, “Don’t thank me too much.”

This fucking handful of dog food in his pocket was also explicitly priced?

After he finished, he looked at Bai Duanduan again. He did not care about Xu Zhixin’s dead appearance, and then just walked away.

Bai Duanduan only felt her body flooded with power that can break from the shackles.

Damn, don’t thank him too much yet ？？？？

Someone, come quickly! Don’t give him a severe beating of thirty strokes! I’ll drag this b!tch straight out of the meridian gate and behead him!

Author’s note:

In the past, it was true that the recording evidence had to be agreed by the other party to be legal evidence, but it was too difficult to collect evidence in this way, and it was almost impossible. Therefore, the scope of recording evidence has been expanded after 2002. The evidence obtained by the recording method in the previous chapter of Ji Lin is completely ok, which means as long as you are also present during recording, and not listening in through a wire-tapped device, recordings like these are still accepted. Partner Ji isn’t really going to ask Duanduan to pay him back la hahahah, this is an inside joke, and I’m only going to reveal it later, but I forgot to write it yesterday. As a result, our Ji dog was scolded badly, hahahaha, fortunately, he has thick skin.

[Small Theatre]

Ji Lin: Duanduan, I hope you will be my girlfriend.

Bai Duanduan: Then later when we fall in love, how well will you treat me?

Ji Lin pondered for a moment after: I will make you lose your case a little better.

Bai Duanduan:?

System Alert: Mr. Ji Lin, you have lost your love.

Ji Lin:?
