After Zhao Shucheng arrived at the company, he received a call from Ren Xiaonian.
Because their company has mergers and acquisitions, it is planned to lay off employees and streamline company members. In order to avoid possible labor disputes and human resources are also among the layoffs, Zhao Shucheng is asked to prepare relevant legal documents.
In fact, it is very common for mergers and acquisitions to lay off employees, and many companies do the same. Especially for companies that are acquired, they often have a large layoff. Moreover, this is a big job, and of course the reward is not low.
Of course, Zhao Shucheng had no reason to refuse, so he took on this job.
Not long after Zhao Shucheng sat down, Dai Xi came to the office.
"Dai Xi, you have made a complete layoff plan for Ren Xiaonian's company."
Dai Xi said in surprise: "Leasing employees? How many layoffs?"
"I will send the layoff list to your email address. The company hopes that they will leave automatically and you are responsible for getting them to sign."
Dai Xi asked strangely: "Does their company have no human resources?"
“Human resources are also among the layoffs.”
"What if they don't want to leave automatically?"
Zhao Shucheng looked at Dai Xi and said, "Then you have to tell them the possible consequences."
“What about it?”
"Exit!"
"Why?"
"You are responsible for finding reasonable and legal dismissal requirements."
Dai Xi asked: "Is there something wrong with Ren Xiaonian's company?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Dai Xi, you were not very smart a few days ago. I guessed that Ren Xiaonian's company had a merger and acquisition plan, so why do you think you should lay off employees?"
Dai Xi was stunned, but unexpectedly, he would have to lay off employees due to mergers and acquisitions.
"Go and do it carefully, including all legal processes, internal corporate communications, and formalities, all must be legal and compliant to avoid legal disputes."
Dai Xi couldn't bear it because she didn't think that those who were laid off were really wrong, it was just Ren Xiaonian's needs.
"Go and do it. Even if you refuse to do it, I will not do it, but Ren Xiaonian's company will still lay off employees. Even because they are not professional enough, they will cause disastrous consequences."
“In addition to the layoff list, I also need all the employees of their company, performance and compensation, and family situation.”
"It has been sent to your email address, and you can see it when you go back."
When Dai Xi left, Zhao Shucheng was thinking about Ren Xiaonian's company. In fact, Zhao Shucheng had seen the original plot and knew that in addition to layoffs, Ren Xiaonian would also lay off a cancer patient.
This will also be a direct conflict between Dai Xi and Ren Xiaonian, and even eventually lead to Ren Xiaonian and Luo Bin turning against each other.
In fact, Zhao Shucheng hopes that this is the case, because Ren Xiaonian directly treats lawyers as his own. If it is just a legal issue, of course this is fine, but now the company lays off employees and does not use human resources, but instead lets lawyers do it, which is not appropriate.
Because Ren Xiaonian did this completely to suppress others with power, and wanted Zhao Shucheng and the others to be bad people, he could maintain the stability within the company.
Even if the employees are not satisfied or even resentful, they will only think that it is the lawyer's fault, but they will not have much objection to the company. If they meet a narrow-minded person, they may come to Zhao Shucheng to settle the score one day.
Dai Xi didn't know what would happen later, and was still working hard to prepare the documents.
When the documents were prepared, Dai Xi began his own journey, one by one, asking people on the layoff list to sign a resignation agreement.
But Dai Xi felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the resigned people. Although Ren Xiaonian also gave compensation, these people were unemployed just like that.
Zhao Shucheng was also present, but most of it was Dai Xi talking. Instead, he only came out to say a few words when he encountered an employee who had objections.
The two of them were busy until the evening before completing the layoffs.
Just as Zhao Shucheng and Dai Xi were about to go back, Ren Xiaonian came over and said, "Lawyer Luo, how are you doing?"
“All signed.”
Ren Xiaonian said: "It's very efficient, let's have a meal together tonight."
"No, Mr. Ren, we still have something to do. This is a resignation agreement, and it's all here."
Ren Xiaonian looked at it and said, "Okay, thank you. I have something to consult you."
"Please say it!"
"If a company employee gets seriously ill, I'm talking about long-term treatment and losing the ability to work, such as cancer."
Zhao Shucheng said: "Dai Xi, come and tell Mr. Ren about the relevant regulations."
"According to the relevant provisions of the Labor Law, if an employee is sick or injured by work, the enterprise shall pay his sick leave wage or disease relief expenses in accordance with the regulations during the prescribed medical period. The wage or relief expenses may be lower than the local minimum wage standard, but not lower than 80% of the minimum wage standard."
"Really?"
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "What Dai Xi said is true and very professional."
"That's great, you have to cut another person for me."
"It's off work now."
Ren Xiaonian said: "I can give you overtime pay."
"I mean the employees who are going to lay off employees in your company are already off work."
"He's in the hospital!"
Dai Xi suddenly reacted and said, "Wu Jun?"
Ren Xiaonian asked, "How do you know?"
"She knows every employee in your company, name, age, family status, personality, and compensation clauses, and even reactions that may occur when you are laid off."
Ren Xiaonian said with satisfaction: "I did a good job."
Dai Xi said: "Wu Jun is your high school classmate? He came to your company after graduating from college. Two years ago, he became the company's major account manager. At the inauguration ceremony, he publicly stated that his greatest wish is to serve the company until he retires successfully. But later he got cancer, but after treatment, he is basically stable now?"
Ren Xiaonian said: "Yes, so he proposed to return to work. But his physical condition is no longer competent for the previous executive jobs."
"He has worked hard for your company for more than 20 years. Now he is seriously ill and is hospitalized. His wife has no job and his children are still in school. He is the only source of income in the family. He spends a lot of money on medical treatment. If he doesn't have a job, the family really can't live."
“Does everyone have to face the problems in their lives?”
Dai Xi said angrily: "I understand, but you have the ability to help him, why do you want..."
"Hey, you go to the hospital right now. I don't care what you use. You ask him to sign and resign immediately."
Dai Xi said: "Sorry, I can't do it!"
After hearing this, Ren Xiaonian said, "Lawyer Luo, you can do this."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Mr. Ren, I'm sorry, I can't do this."
"Why?"
"Because we are all professionals, we cannot and are unwilling to undertake legal contributions that may result from expulsion. According to relevant regulations, during the prescribed medical period, employers shall not terminate the labor contract in accordance with the law. After the medical period expires, employees are still unable to perform the work, employers may terminate the contract in accordance with the law."
Ren Xiaonian said: "You can find a hundred and a thousand reasonable and legal reasons for firing a person, and this is what you told me."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "I did say that, but what I said is under normal circumstances. But your current request is not under normal circumstances."
Zhao Shucheng knew very well what Ren Xiaonian wanted, but this was a violation of the law. Of course, as a lawyer, Zhao Shucheng could avoid such risks, but there is no airtight wall in the world. After other industry colleagues knew about it, Zhao Shucheng's reputation was ruined. Perhaps many customers saw that Zhao Shucheng was so useful, and might be Zhao Shucheng's client, but a lawyer without a bottom line was not what Zhao Shucheng wanted to do.
Ren Xiaonian did not expect Zhao Shucheng to refuse so simply and said, "Okay, very good! I give you money to let you reason for others, not to reason with me."
When Zhao Shucheng returned to the law firm, the seal was already waiting.
"Luo Bin, you must apologize to Ren Xiaonian!"
"Why should I apologize?"
"Barring, he is my biggest customer!"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Our lawyer's rules are right when will it become the right thing for whoever has the money?"
Feng Yin said angrily: "I tell you, I asked you to apologize to him, not because he has money."
"It was you just said that he is our biggest customer."
"I said that. He is indeed our biggest customer and has introduced us to many customers. If he leaves, it is not as simple as leaving one."
Zhao Shucheng said: "Mr. Feng, don't you think you are a little humble now? I don't think we can get respect from Ren Xiaonian by really nodding and bowing to Ren Xiaonian. The lawyer who is willing to hold his feet is all right, but why did Ren Xiaonian choose us at the beginning?"
Feng Yin heard Zhao Shucheng's sarcasm, but he didn't care about being angry at all now, and he was thinking about how to keep Ren Xiaonian.
"Then, let your assistant..." Feng Yin was about to let Dai Xi leave, but suddenly he thought of Dai Xi's identity and was in a dilemma for a moment.
"How do you ask me to explain to Ren Xiaonian?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "It's easy to deal with. I asked Dai Xi to leave. I just said that this assistant is still an intern and lacks communication experience with major customers, so I've been fired."
Feng Yin looked at Zhao Shucheng in disbelief, but he didn't expect Zhao Shucheng to say such things. Since he knew Dai Xi's identity, and just had a certain connection with Dai Xi's father's company with Dai Xi's identity, if Dai Xi took the blame and resigned, it would be good if Dai Xi's father didn't target them at that time, let alone wanted to cooperate.
"You go out first, I'll think about it."
Zhao Shucheng could see that Zhenyin didn't want to fire Dai Xi, and understood that he must have known Dai Xi's identity as the second-generation rich man.
Lina has actually been waiting for Zhao Shucheng. She also knew that Zhao Shucheng and Ren Xiaonian had a quarrel, and was very worried that Zhao Shucheng and Seal would have a conflict.
When he saw Zhao Shucheng coming out, he came up and asked, "What do you say, the boss?"
"What else can he say? He couldn't have asked me to leave and didn't want to fire Dai Xi, so he could only hope that Ren Xiaonian would figure it out by himself."
