The case has now become a source of trouble for Sujin. She regrettably thought, if she had known that there would be such a turn of events, she would not have begged Hyunjae to involve her in this case at all. Those 189 dismissals were all new employees, and the total financial compensation involved was not much, so she won’t be able to allocate a few money to herself. Now Song Kang was also obviously very bothersome….
Sujin previously not only promised the results of the case, but also received a total of 4,000 yuan worth of shopping cards from Song Kang. The cards were accepted by her all privately, and it was even used up in the past few days. If Song Kang fished out of her net anyhow, all these things would land her in big trouble . . . . .
At this time, Sujin didn’t care about Song Kang’s predicament at all. She just thought about how to clean herself up out of this. She glanced at Song Kang and pretended to be regretful, “Actually, I have always wanted to help you, but because I am not the main lawyer, it is difficult for me to intervene in many strategic plans. I understand your situation, especially when you sent me shopping cards before. I appreciate all your intentions. When lawyer Manoban became the host lawyer, I specially conveyed all your intentions to her. I didn’t even keep the shopping cards with myself in hope that she will do her best to handle your case.”
Song Kang listened while his face slowly took on a bit of murderous anger, “But this lawyer Manoban ……”
As an employee lawyer, Lisa had no way to regulate Jungkook’s behavior. He made a move and she parried. But in the face of such a chickenshit method of suspending work and production which was totally within the scope of existing laws, neither Lisa nor anyone else could reverse the situation.
Sujin, however, did not mention this, but tried to shirk the responsibility of her own random promises, and she muttered softly, as if carefully, “There is one thing I will tell you secretly ah, in fact, our lawyer Manoban seems to be that …… in private with lawyer Jeon.”
Song Kang frowned, “What’s that?”
Sujin lowered her voice and said, “It’s a lover. The last time I was having a meal with Lawyer Manoban, I also met Lawyer Jeon there. I heard Lawyer Jeon call our lawyer Manoban as his wife. I thought Lawyer Manoban was single, but they fell in love without any of us knowing.”
In Sujin’s words, three part truth was mixed with seven part lies. It was obviously impossible for Lisa and Jungkook to be lovers, but there was probably something else going on in private. There were personal encounters that couldn’t be ignored.
“Of course, I can’t say this. Maybe it’s just a joke, but I’m not the only one who heard it. I made an appointment with you to eat at the restaurant that day, remember? When it was time to pay the bill, someone claimed to be our lawyer Manoban’s husband and asked to settle his bill together. At that time I saw the man’s back and side face, it was lawyer Jeon.”
When Sujin said this, Song Kang reacted. Although she did not say anything clearly, these cryptic clues alone were already enough for Song Kang to imagine on his own.
“Then in this case, between Lawyer Manoban and Lawyer Jeon, is there something fishy?” Song Kang frowned, “Could they have colluded a long time ago, and Lawyer Manoban deliberately lost to Lawyer Jeon? Has she been in cahoots with the enemy for a long time? If not, when you had already said that the case would be won without a doubt, then why did it suddenly turn out this way? How can I explain this to my wife at home and to the other 110 brothers?”
Sujin breathed a sigh of relief to see that Song Kang had finally stabilised. To be honest, the way Song Kang looked just now really scared her. If he found out what she had done, this Song Kang might have beaten herself up on the spot, if she couldn’t say it any better. Sujin only wants to fool him and get rid of him. As soon as she dissociates from him, she will immediately black out Song Kang’s contact information, and not see him ever. As for the black pot she threw at Lisa , there was no evidence to prove that she said anything like that. In the end, after making a few fuss Song Kang will just admit that he was unlucky.
________________
It’s just that Sujin has never really stood in the situation of laborers and considered their plight. She didn’t realize what a major change the outcome of the case would make to Song Kang’s life. It was impossible for him to just think that he was unlucky and blame his stars. Song Kang didn’t accept it anyway, and there was only anger and anxiety left in his heart.
When Lisa and Jungkook confirmed the details of the proposal and handed it over to Song Kang , Song Kang ’s heart was in turmoil. He watched Lisa and Jungkook carefully, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that these two people might have been secretly working together for a long time.
He almost took Simon Paper’s plan with a heavy heart and went to discuss it with the remaining 110 brothers, and the result was naturally predictable.
“Kang, didn’t you say that we can definitely win more than 100,000 yuan?! Why is the money completely gone now?”
“Why can 189 young people have compensation, but we don’t have it?”
“ Song, it was because we trusted you that we entrusted you with the full authority of the matter, and how did you end up negotiating this outcome?”
Once the seeds of doubt and suspicion were planted, discontent would start to flood in.
Soon, someone else joined in the accusations, “Yes, Song, you probably did not pay enough attention to this case because you just had your second child and you’re too busy to take care of our case, right?”
“That’s right, I think you have not kept an eye on the lawyers at all! You didn’t represent us well at all!”
“If only you hadn’t been elected as a staff representative in the first place, it might as well have been me with a better outcome!”
“ Song, tell us the truth, are you under the same plan as us or did you take money from the company privately and then come to act as a peacemaker to persuade us to accept the proposal?”
“Most likely, otherwise, how could it suddenly go from being absolutely able to pay more than 100,000 to 200,000, to suddenly becoming the lowest average salary in the city every month?”
……..
As Song Kang watched everyone accusing and questioning him, he only felt that the repression in his heart was on the verge of exploding.
He was wronged! He had paid 4,000 yuan worth of shopping cards out of his own pocket to present as a gift to the lawyers, and had been communicating well with them in a friendly manner. For the benefit of the 300 colleagues, he paid out of his own pocket. Ran to the law firm regardless of whether it was hot or windy or rainy. He never asked anyone for a penny, not even asked for a word of gratitude. And now suddenly he had become a sinner who was accused by a thousand people because he had not gotten the desired result ……
Song Kang looked at his colleagues who were rushing around, and his heart was on fire. He remembered Lisa’s delicate face, and gritted teeth as hatred rose in his heart.
It was all that female lawyer’s fault! It was all her fault!
And this anger and resentment, which was on the verge of exploding, reached its limit when he returned home.
Almost as soon as Song Kang walked into the house, his wife greeted him with tears.
“Husband, our little daughter’s face suddenly turned pale and her lip turned blue today, so I took her to the hospital. Now it is found out in the test results that she has a congenital heart disease and requires a sum of money for surgery. How is your negotiation going? When will we get 200,000 yuan? We have to schedule the operation for the child quickly!”
Before one wave of problems could have subsided, another one has already risen, Song Kang’s sanity finally collapses.
Without another word, he changed into black clothes, grabbed his eldest son’s duck-tongue hat, went to the kitchen, grabbed a knife and walked out of the house silently.
Song Kang ’s eyes were red with blood. He would never forgive that female lawyer who had received a fee from him but did not do the real work and also ate out of his pocket!
