What's wrong with this lawyer?!

This is also a common pitfall that young people frequently encounter while job hunting: during recruitment, they are told one thing, and yet when they start working, it's a completely different story.

It's crucial to remember that recruitment is merely an invitation to make an offer. What truly matters is the labor contract, the employer's explicit commitment, which is the kind that comes with chat logs, recorded calls, or written promises.

Actually, these types of cases are quite common. In most instances, workers lose in court because they can't provide evidence. Why? Because the promises made to them were verbal.

Workers with even a bit of experience know that verbal promises aren't worth much. If the employer decides not to acknowledge them, they simply won't, understand? Don't assume the best in people, thinking they won't be so shameless. In reality, they can be very shameless.

What should you do in such situations? One method is to send a message or make a phone call to confirm after they've made their promises.

Always leave a trace. That's the first rule of survival in the workplace because you never know whether the leaders at the company are human or ghosts.

Meanwhile, Tengda's legal team chatted confidently, having evidence is that empowering. They'd operated like this before with hardly any issues, and won in court too.

Meng Yongqi's face grew darker as he spoke. Although he had anticipated that the case would be challenging, it wasn't until the trial began that he realized it was even harder than he'd imagined.

His side was severely lacking in evidence, relying solely on oral statements.

Young lawyers always seem to believe their eloquence can turn the tide even when evidence is lacking, only to be harshly corrected by reality.

Finally, the chief arbitrator spoke, "All right, there's no need for the plaintiff to repeat themselves any further. If there's nothing else to add, I am going to adjourn the hearing."

Meng Yongqi wasn't too bad off. With the case being this difficult, could Tang Fangjing really have a better plan? The opposition had a particularly strong case.

On the contrary, his own side lacked any evidence to prove the key facts. They didn't stand a chance in the case.

As the tribunal adjourned, Qi Xinwen couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Meng, are... are we going to have a hard time winning?"

Meng Yongqi responded, "Well... I can't say for sure, our evidence is indeed inadequate. Sigh, how to put it, you live and you learn, just be more careful next time you look for a job."

"Don't make this kind of mistake again."

Qi Xinwen sighed, but still nodded. She knew the prospects were bleak, as Tengda's legal department had mentioned during previous negotiations that their company had won before.

The adjournment ended quickly, and the arbitrator announced the verdict.

"The decision is as follows: the petitioner's request for arbitration is hereby dismissed. If you disagree with this arbitration, you may within..."

The arbitrator didn't find this surprising. The case was straightforward, one side had ample evidence while the other hardly had anything substantial; such an outcome was to be expected.

The arbitrator could indeed sense that what the plaintiff said was probably true, her family situation indicated as much, so they likely discussed the matter of travel.

But then, without evidence, there's nothing that can be done.

Meng Yongqi, accompanied by Qi Xinwen, walked out of the arbitration tribunal. He hesitated about how to bring up the topic of filing a lawsuit, particularly since it would require changing lawyers.

Just then, a voice rang out from behind: "Hey, I see you're a lawyer for Tengda, huh? Taking a case that's sure to be lost? Are you that desperate for work?"

The way this was put, Meng Yongqi turned around and found that it was the opposing company's lawyer speaking, a young man in his twenties, impeccably dressed in a suit.

"What do you mean by that?"

"No offence, but taking on arbitration with no evidence, isn't that just scamming people for their money?"

After speaking, the young lawyer left, leaving Meng Yongqi's face to darken.

Suddenly, he said, "Miss Qi, what do you think about... filing a lawsuit?"

At these words, Qi Xinwen's brow furrowed, wasn't filing such a lawsuit just throwing money away?

"Don't worry about it. I will cover the cost of filing the suit. However, the lawyer representing the case won't be me, it will be another from our firm. You might have heard his name; it's Tang Fangjing."
