Chapter 1135: Chapter 367: Old Tang: Seems like we can set a rule!

For Lawyer Tang, this is truly a rare sight; generally, the system doesn’t activate tasks so quickly, so is this case particularly interesting?

The corresponding task has already been released on the system panel.

Task Objective: Use legal means to educate the black-hearted company.

Task Reward: 50% completion, reward of three extra days of lifespan…

Current Task Progress: 0%

Very well, excellent, just for this system task, he must complete the case “thoroughly and entirely.”

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man continued speaking in front of him.

“Lawyer Tang, tell me, is this fair? The loss wasn’t my fault, when they asked us to invest, they didn’t say that losses meant no bonus, and now there’s no approval…”

The man expressed his helplessness: “To secure those projects, I really put in too much effort, but now they’re saying no approval, so no approval.”

As the man spoke, Lawyer Tang gradually understood the situation of the case.

This man’s name is Su Yeping. He joined the Lvzhou City Development Group a few years ago, serving as the head of the Investment Development Department.

Lawyer Tang knows Lvzhou City Development Group; it’s a well-known large state-owned enterprise in Handong Province, holding shares in multiple developers.

Though it carries the Lvzhou City’s name, it is actually under the jurisdiction of Handong Province.

The nature of Lvzhou City Development is quite similar to Hanxi Construction; on one hand, it undertakes development projects itself, while on the other, it accepts large construction projects.

As for the problem Su Yeping encountered, many workers face similar issues in reality.

When he joined the company, it was during a real estate boom, and to encourage employees to pursue projects actively, the company issued a special document.

This document stipulated rewards for personnel and teams bringing projects to the company.

Subsequently, during a meeting of the Investment Development Department, they decided that if there were rewards, Su Yeping could receive 50% of them.

The meeting determined the distribution plan, and the meeting minutes were recorded.

Then, they started pursuing projects, securing six large-scale ones. For three of them, the reward application was signed by the City Development Company’s legal representative.

The reward applications for the other three projects were submitted but were never approved.

The projects were completed, and they naturally expected to receive the rewards next.

Approval procedures in such state-owned enterprises are known to be very cumbersome and particularly slow… very slow.

As a result, a new situation arose. While this side was waiting for approval, issues emerged with the project construction due to changes in the larger environment, leading to losses in two projects.

The company’s standpoint was that as the projects were brought in by you, now that there are losses, you must bear responsibility, so the rewards cannot be given.

Of course, Su Yeping was not convinced; when he brought in the projects, they never mentioned that losses would mean no rewards.

Thus, back and forth, a conflict arose with the company, leading to Su Yeping’s resignation, which was also an unpleasant process.

The company claimed he resigned voluntarily, while Su Yeping believed he was dismissed by the company and applied for labor arbitration, eventually winning compensation after a first and second trial.

Now the problem is, what about the reward?

This is also a common issue; sometimes companies incentivize sales teams with high commissions.

However, after the sales team brings in the work, the company realizes the projects incurred losses during execution.

The company then becomes unwilling to pay the commissions, arguing that despite bringing in the projects, they resulted in losses, so why should they pay?

The situation could escalate, eventually forcing you into “involuntary resignation,” with the compensation far smaller compared to the commissions from major projects.

Su Yeping is also confronting this issue; he feels it’s hard to swallow this grievance, and he truly needs that reward.

“Lawyer Tang, calculating a bonus of over a million, they simply refused to pay with just a word. How could they? When I brought in the projects, I couldn’t even reimburse many expenses, all paid out of pocket by me!”

“I thought that since the bonus would be high later, I would cover it. But then they said no payment, just like that. How could they?”

“What infuriates me the most is when I sued before, do you know what the court ruled? The court said my application wasn’t approved, so they didn’t support my claim. How could they?”

“Now that they’ve already fired me, there’s no way for me to apply even if I wanted to…”

Lawyer Tang opened his mouth and said, “You already sued?”

Su Yeping nodded: “Yes, I’ve already sued at the Ningyu District Court in Lvzhou City, and all claims were dismissed. That’s why I appealed for a second trial, hoping to seek your help.”

“Do you have the verdict with you?” Lawyer Tang asked again.

Su Yeping replied immediately: “Yes, Lawyer Tang, I have it with me, including the evidence prepared by the lawyer during the first trial. Please take a look.”

As he spoke, Su Yeping took out a stack of materials from his bag and handed them over.

Lawyer Tang picked it up and began to review it. Normally, the success rate of appeals is very low, but for the concerned party, no matter how slim the chance, they want to try.

Therefore, many plaintiffs who lost in the first trial think about changing lawyers for the second trial.

Lawyer Tang didn’t care; whether it was the first or second trial, he wasn’t afraid of the low success rate of appeal.

The first trial at the Ningyu District Court concluded that the six projects should be divided into two categories.
