Chapter 1023 -331: A Bit of Popular Legal Work_2
“Their finance team showed me the company’s account, and it’s true, there’s no money left. Our store has over a dozen salespeople, and last month’s wages still haven’t been paid. The boss has done his best…”
People really do change. Kong Jianling used to be the type who’d never share a sky with the boss, but now, she can face the camera and say things like “The boss has done his best” or “The boss isn’t having it easy.”
Simple—because saying that makes her earn more.
Only when she insists that the boss is doing his best can she subtly shift the blame onto Tang Fangjing. And only by pointing fingers at Tang Fangjing can she generate massive traffic!
But does she truly believe this? Well, when someone repeats a phrase enough times, they eventually convince themselves it’s true.
Kong Jianling genuinely believes now that the boss has done his best.
As for why she doesn’t quit her job? Don’t ask. If you do, the answer’s simple: jobs are hard to come by these days, and quitting would leave her unemployed.
Suddenly, the flood of sympathetic and supportive comments in the livestream barrage shifted direction.
“You should check out Tang Fangjing’s statement—he said he can help employees like you who are struggling to fight for their rights, free of charge!”
What? When Kong Jianling saw this comment, she froze on the spot.
Tang Fangjing will help us fight for our rights for free?
This wasn’t just happening in her stream. Similar developments were occurring in other livestream rooms, and the chaos online began to settle ever so slightly due to Tang’s statement.
“Oh yeah, how could we forget? Lawyer Tang is the most professional labor lawsuit attorney. His debut case was a labor dispute, and the lawsuits he’s handled in the past even became landmark cases!”
“Exactly. Why not let Lawyer Tang help out with the rights advocacy?”
Of course, there were still skeptics: “But didn’t those streamers say the company’s account is completely empty? Even if Tang Fangjing helps win the case, how will it be enforced if there’s no money?”
Such doubts were quickly challenged.
“Do you seriously believe them? My boss told me last month that hard times were coming, wages would be cut, and he’d talk endlessly about how tough things were for him.”
“But guess what? This month, he swapped out his car for one so expensive it’s outrageous. You want me to sympathize with him? I don’t understand how some of you can side with the boss—what’s going through your heads?”
The arguments sparked another heated clash.
Kong Jianling thought quickly and said, flustered: “I’m really grateful that Lawyer Tang is willing to help us with the lawsuit, but everyone knows lawsuits take time!”
“And right now, we’re struggling just to get by. If we sue the company, how are we supposed to make ends meet during this period?”
“Besides, the company doesn’t have money, so even if we win, what’s the point? Lawyer Tang can’t conjure money out of thin air!”
It was just the excuse she managed to cobble together in her panic.
But then, the comments came flooding back.
“Lawyer Tang already said that if you take him up on the lawsuit, during the lawsuit period, he’ll personally cover your original salaries. If enforcement fails, he’ll count the money as compensation he’s giving you.”
Yes, Tang Fangjing had orchestrated this perfectly—first posting a free lawsuit announcement to spark discussion, and then quickly following it up with his second statement.
He wanted people to bring up all the key concerns, so that he could address them one by one.
Alright then, given this scenario, what excuses do you have left?
A lawsuit? Sure, it’s also the perfect opportunity to see if these dealerships truly have hit rock bottom.
They made so much money in the past few years, and they’ve been profiting consistently ever since. But the moment compensation comes up, their excuse is that they’re too broke to even pay wages?
Are you kidding me? What do you think this is—some multi-trillion-dollar real estate developer’s meltdown?
If you’re really out of money, we’ll have to investigate where it all went. And then we’ll check whether your accountant is an alumnus of Tilanqiao Prison’s finest.
Faced with the comments, Kong Jianling was left speechless.
“What? All covered? I… didn’t know… I mean…”
She could barely get a sentence out before abruptly ending her stream and hurriedly going to verify it herself. She needed to confirm if Tang Fangjing had really posted such announcements.
Opening Tang Fangjing’s account, sure enough—two posts, back to back, with less than a minute gap between them, clearly pre-planned.
“Wait, is there something wrong with Tang Fangjing’s head? Offering both lawsuit services and advance pay for free—what’s he even after? What’s the benefit for him in this?” Kong Jianling muttered to herself.
She had no idea how to refuse—it was impossible to find a reason!
If you say the company withheld your wages, he offers free lawsuits. If you say you can’t make ends meet during the lawsuit, he provides an advance. If you argue the company can’t enforce the payments, he gives you that money as compensation.
He’s truly gone above and beyond, leaving no room for rebuttals!
In this scenario, could she still justify saying, “The company isn’t having it easy, and I don’t want to leave it”?
If she did, people would start questioning her motives. The company delayed her wages to the point where her livelihood was at risk, and yet she still sympathized with the company and worked hard for them…
What is this—your dad’s company?
Kong Jianling really didn’t know what to do anymore. Her confusion even spread to other streams hosted by supposed dealership employees, who all promptly ended their broadcasts.
