Chapter 58: The lawsuit for 5 billion! The expectation of countless grassroots workers!
The trial will begin tomorrow, of course, because Jiang Miao had already asked her classmates' law firm to start preparations several months ago.
As soon as Wang Zhuling finished speaking, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room suddenly became densely packed, covering the entire screen.
【!!! Ahhhh, is this true? This girl is so brave, she actually dares to confront Pizza Hut! I really like this rich boss! 】
[Overwork damages, who knows? I work twelve hours a day, and I haven't had a day off for twenty days, not to mention my cervical and lumbar spine. I just sit there every day, and my heart is beating so fast! ]
[Yes, my hair falls out when I work overtime, and I have to endure the boss's PUA, which destroys my psychology. I am already depressed, how can I let them lose money! ]
[To be honest, I used to be slim because I exercised every day, but now I’m as fat as a pregnant woman. I’m a man!
I told my company leader that I was overweight due to overwork and had three highs, but he still laughed at me!
Working twelve hours a day and still eating takeout, who else is fat! 】
[Can working eight hours a day kill me? Can I die?
I guess the leader is really going to die because he is so angry that he doesn’t take advantage of the workers! 】
[As a lawyer, I would like to say that Longguo has never won a lawsuit like this. However, as an ordinary 996 worker, I really hope that the rich boss lady will win!
Your lawyers must be well-known lawyers. Please set a precedent for us. It will be much easier to judge in the future! 】
[The glamorous and glorious factory of 996 is filled with the tears and sadness of every worker! I hope we can win! ]
[But, isn't this just wishful thinking? !
You are asking for 5 billion in overtime pay? There is no way this will be supported anywhere! 】
Although everyone wanted Jiang Miao to win, they knew that such hope was too slim. But what if?
The rich boss is so rich and well connected, what if she can afford to hire a famous lawyer from a famous law firm?
Soon, everyone started to dig into the lawyers Jiang Miao hired, who they were, what law firms they came from, and what their backgrounds were.
However, after searching for a long time, they found out that it was a small, unknown law firm that no one had ever heard of. And none of the lawyers there were well-known in the industry.
The lawsuits were basically all about mundane divorces, domestic violence, abuse of women and children, etc.
How can this beat Pizza Hut? It's over, it's a sure loss!

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang! Although the other party's law firm has a high success rate in divorce cases, they are all simple cases and cannot be compared with our professionalism!"
At this time, in the Bingxixi company across the street, the Minister of Legal Affairs, Lu Zhuo, was giving confident assurances to all senior executives.
Lu Zhuo patted his chest and said to everyone:
"We can refute every claim made by the other side in an orderly and reasonable manner. Moreover, overtime should be compensated?
This is totally unreasonable! There is no way you can win!
Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will definitely not let them get a penny!"
Hearing this, President Wang and several vice presidents nodded and felt relieved.
After hearing the other party's request, he just thought it was ridiculous!
Just because overtime work caused them a little health damage, they demand 5 billion in compensation?
What a joke! These conscienceless grassroots lions are asking for too much! They are even more greedy and evil than those street scammers!
“996 is clearly a blessing and opportunity for them!
Without our company training them and giving them the opportunity to work overtime to earn higher incomes, how could they have such a good life today? How could they pay for their house and car loans and raise their children?
You have the guts to sue us even though your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"
Vice President Lu Kun also scolded Jiang Miao, saying she was unreasonable and a crazy woman. Then he said:
"Of course, we have to consider the audience and public opinion. Let's put it this way, Lu Zhuo. Although we are sure to win, we still have to give them a few hundred thousand dollars as a consolation out of compassion.
Just think of it as our company being kind and let the public relations department guide the trolls and public opinion.
This is basically charity, isn't it? "
"Yes, the most important thing is the subsequent lawsuit. I must make Jiang Miao lose all her money!"
I thought that someone as rich as Jiang Miao could hire a good lawyer?
I didn't expect that all the people I hired were inexperienced people, and one of them was an intern who just graduated from college!
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I promise to give Jiang Miao a good slap in the face this time!"
The girl is just a young nouveau riche with little knowledge. She doesn't know how to do business or the ropes at all. She deserves to lose all her money and go bankrupt!
…
The business war between Bing Xixi and Jiang Miao's company has escalated. It is no longer limited to the act of pouring boiling water on the tree of wealth, but a confrontation in court.
The chances of winning or losing involved a sum of 5 to 10 billion dollars, and this battle quickly attracted the attention of workers and business owners across the country.
The next day, many people entered the live broadcast room, waiting to watch the court session!
The engine stopped roaring, Jiang Miao got out of her Ferrari in the underground parking lot and was walking upstairs when she ran into Luo Hai'e who was ready with a folder in her arms.
When she saw the Ferrari with its metallic luster on the assembly line, Luo Hai'e suddenly felt that her best friend had become a super rich woman!
It's been just over a year since they last met, and Jiang Miao, her roommate who used to go to the library with her to get lunch, has become a big boss who carries a limited edition Gucci bag and owns an entire office building?
Sisters! We promised to keep each other company when we become rich!
Luo Hai'e went up to give Jiang Miao a big bear hug:
"My goodness, Jiang Miao, you really hid it well!
You are so rich now, I want to curry your favor! Please take me with you!"
"Do you still need me to lead you, the top students? As long as you win this case, you won't have to worry about not having a house or a car in the future?"
Jiang Miao quickly responded to Luo Hai'e's hug and asked:
"How's that? Can we win?"
"I don't know."
Luo Hai'e was actually a little nervous, but after all, they were dealing with Pizza Hut, a huge capital company. But she would not forget that it was built with blood, sweat and life! There were also hopes of countless workers behind her!
Luo Hai'e took a deep breath:
"We will definitely try our best!"
After the court opened, the plaintiffs included not only the representative of Jiang Miao's company, but also the parents of her senior student Shi Ling.
It has been so long since the sudden death, and the internet has long forgotten the existence of such an ordinary and hardworking girl. However, Shi Ling's parents will never be able to let go for the rest of their lives, and will always live in the shadow of losing their daughter.
I can still vividly remember the moment when my daughter was just learning to speak. How come in the blink of an eye, I am now the one sending her off?
Even now, when Shi Mu was in court, she was still choking with sobs and unable to utter a word. In the past few days, Shi Fu's gray hair had turned completely white. He endured the pain and said:
“I don’t want a penny!
I just want to let all the capitalists of these big factories know that human life cannot be bought back with any amount of money!
We ordinary people are not machines, we are also other people's children, wives, fathers, and mothers!
At least they shouldn’t be in their twenties or thirties and die from overwork at such a young age! We have so many people in Longguo, is it really impossible to find someone to share the work? "
"My daughter is so well-behaved and sensible. She has been working so hard. How could you force such a healthy person to sudden death?
She has always been someone who wants to be the best at everything, but she told me that her boss always criticized her for not doing well enough and not being efficient enough. After work, she always asked my mother if I was too bad.
But it's obvious that she has been outstanding in everything since she was young!
After she died, I found out she had been taking antidepressants for the past two months!
She is either resting after get off work or working. How far do you want to push her? "
"What does this have to do with us?
Employees work overtime voluntarily, and our company has paid her the full amount of money."
