Chapter 14: Chapter 7.1 This is the fucking Ji Lin? ? ?

“So those sick leave slips and diagnosis certificates can be verified at the hospital. They are all true?”

“Yes.”

Ji Lin frowned, “In that case, what are you looking me for? Do you think it’s too much money?”

Yan Xin was a little frustrated, but Chen Minghua did not want to back down easily. He glanced at Ji Lin, “Lawyer Ji, although we don’t know what method Xu Zhixin used to make a legally valid sick leave slips and diagnosis certificate, we are basically certain that he is cheating on sick leave.”

Ji Lin was still lacking in interest, “Even if sick leave is fake, it is not so recognized by law. In fact you illegally terminated the work contract when there was no dispute. I will not accept such meaningless cases.”

Chen Minghua paused and played out his mastercard “Lawyer Ji, the lawyer representing Xu Zhixin is from ZhaoHui Law Firm.”

There are rumors that Ji Lin and ZhaoHui seem to have some bad blood with each other. Chen Minghua couldn’t help but give it a try.

Sure enough, Ji Lin paused.

Chen Minghua took advantage of the situation and said “This case has affected ; our company’s goodwill, but if you are willing to take it, I know that we still have a chance to recover.” He said angrily, “Our business at Jin Guang Electronics has always been legal and compliant and we never expected to really encounter labor disputes. The law does not protect us at all! If every employee is as bad as Xu Zhixin, then how can our company survive? Isn’t it wrong if this kind of malicious employee drags down an enterprise?”

Because of the word “ZhaoHui”, Ji Lin raised his head again and looked at Chen Minghua “Since there is no problem in the sick leave slip, why did you think he was fraudulently taking sick leave?” ; ; ; ;

Yan Xin saw that things had changed and immediately explained ” At first, Xu Zhixin used to take sick leave every two or three days but we didn’t paid much care about it. After half a month he claimed that his tibia fractured to continue his sick leave. This was definitely a problem because his legs did not break at all!” ; ; ; ; ;

Ji Lin stared at Yan Xin.

Yan Xin cleared her throat “After Xu Zhixin claimed to have a tibia fracture, I went to visit him as a representative of the Personnel department. Since I did not inform him beforehand and simply went directly to his door, as a result, he wasn’t there. I was just about to leave when I ;saw him walking home from a long distance. His legs were very normal. It didn’t look like there was any problem at all. But when he saw me, he began to limp.”

Ji Lin finally showed interest. ” Did you keep the evidence?”

Yan Xin bit her lip, “The time was too short, I wasn’t able to get any evidence. After that, we raided a few more times. Xu Zhixin learned well and never showed his feet again. But I am sure, he said he had broken a bone and asked for leave. It’s a pity that when he took the rest of sick leave every two and three days before, we didn’t think badly and missed the chance to get evidence.”

Chen Minghua sighed. “We also talked with the arbitrator. The other party frankly said that if we go to the court to apply for annulment of the arbitrator award, we have almost no chance of winning. Besides, this case was handled by ZhaoHui’s lawyers. The female lawyer was very strong. I heard that when she was practicing in B City, she hardly lost any lawsuit.

“Then she will lose this lawsuit.”

Chen Minghua was stunned.

Ji Lin smiled slightly, “I take this case.” After he finished speaking, he looked at the timer, “There is an additional charge for early consultation, 24 minutes and 45 seconds, and the bill will be sent to you.”

“……”

Although Ji Lin’s reputation for being an iron cock was well-known, but Yan Xin remembered Ji Lin’s deadly expensive rates, still not afraid of death to test, “Lawyer Ji, we can sign a permanent legal counsel contract afterwards, can this 45 seconds fraction be erased for us? It’s weird to have such a fraction to look at ……”

“Yes.”

She didn’t expect that Ji Lin would actually agree.

Just as Yan Xin was preparing to thank, she heard Ji Lin to say without any burden as a matter of course —

“Since you insist on doing this, you can pay the bill at the 25-minute rate.”

“……”

__________

After Yan Xin and Chen Minghua were sent away, Ji Lin called over his assistant, Li Min, “Go to Jin Guang Electronics and have an interview with Xu Zhixin’s colleagues and immediate superiors. I want to get all the information about Xu Zhixin before 8 o’clock this evening including his family, personal relationship, home address, external social interactions, personality, preferences, dislikes, and check whether if he has a dog.” He raised his head and glanced at Li Min. “If he has a dog, include his dog’s name as well.”

Li Min was an assistant who had been with Ji Lin for 2 years, she did not have a lawyer’s license and was simply doing the job of an assistant at Sheng Lin, not only responsible for helping Ji Lin with the communication work in the case, but also in charge of his personal itinerary.

Ji Lin offered his assistants a completely heart-pounding high salary, yet every assistant before Li Min has lasted less than three months before quitting. Before quitting, they would usually have an emotional breakdown, either shedding tears at Ji Lin or making a fuss. One was depressed and another claimed to be looking for someone to break Ji Lin’s legs.

Li Min was the one who had worked with him the longest and was the one Ji Lin was most satisfied with. She never mentioned a pay raise, which simply made Ji Lin even more satisfied.

When Li Min put a detailed file of Xu Zhixin on Ji Lin’s desk four hours later, Ji Lin’s praise for Li Min had reached its peak. He quickly looked through the materials and quickly unearthed a few important pieces of information.

Xu Zhixin’s family situation was not very good. He is very poor and his family still owes money. Xu Zhixin has his father as his only relative. He was a filial son. His father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer six months ago and his condition was not good. Another very interesting point was that he was very scared of dogs because he was attacked by a pack of stray dogs when he was a child.

Ji Lin put down the material with satisfaction.

This kind of work attitude and quality of work was what made it worthwhile.

It’s just that, after putting down the materials Li Min didn’t leave immediately.

Ji Lin looked up at her curiously, “Is there anything else?”

Li Min pursed her lips, as if mustering up the courage ” Didn’t Mr. Ji notice anything different about me today?”

Ji Lin frowned, “You want to quit?”

“No ……”

“You want to get a raise?”

“Neither ……”

Ji Lin seemed to heave a sigh of relief “Then you are no different.” After that, he lowered his head again, and didn’t take into account Li Min’s emotions. Obviously he only cares about these two issues, and has no interest in the rest. He gave Li Min an expulsion order with his own practical actions – if you neither want to resign nor want a raise, then you can go out.

Ji Lin obviously didn’t notice Li Min’s frustration with his behavior at all. She can be called a beautiful woman, decent and good at communicating with people. In the past two years, she has also received many high-paying salary offers from the headhunters, yet she had not left.

She was Ji Lin’s most intimate assistant. Apart from Rong Sheng, she is the closest person to Ji Lin. She thinks that Ji Lin will see herself one day, but he does not.

She had cut her long hair today, changed her make-up to a completely different style and applied a very sexy lip gloss. However, Ji Lin didn’t even notice nor was he even interested in finding out.

He really was extremely handsome and also extremely unsympathetic, extremely cold and even a bit of a jerk of a man. In his world, it was as if no one else mattered but himself.
