You're Fired !

40

Lisa  used to pride herself for being a tough talker, but now in front of Jungkook’s combat prowess, she actually felt the urge to pull out her notebook and jot down the notes to study ……

She didn’t expect Jungkook to hide his strength so deeply. She can’t even imagine how much of his strength he had used against herself in the previous two cases. He was just unfathomable ……

This confrontation, or to be more precise, the unilateral slaughter led by Jungkook was so interesting. The surrounding crowd didn’t know which 205  is the Chinese slang for ‘idiot’. person took the lead and applauded, but soon, one after another many people followed suit and applauded him.

Song Kang originally thought that he stood on the high moral ground. Even if he did not win in terms of law, he would win in moral terms, and everyone would be on his side. But now that he had been ridiculed from beginning to end by Jungkook, he could not refute anything.

In the end, he could only struggle nervously, “But it’s too hard for employees of our age to manage difficulties with old people and children to take care of at home. The company treated us so badly and forced us to find a new job. Now in this kind of recessive market time, we can only find some low-end labour jobs with little wages in order to support our families……”

Jungkook was on the verge of rolling his eyes this time straight away, “Alright, start selling your misery.” His eyes were cold and emotionless as he looked at Song Kang, “Then why don’t you think about why you are in this miserable situation in the first place? Simon Paper, as a foreign company, has very good benefits, right? It has been known as a retirement home in the paper industry, why? Because of it’s comfortable and encouraging culture.For more than ten years, Simon Paper regularly held many industry workshops and training programmes, but you ask yourself how many have you attended? You decided to lay down and make yourself uncompetitive and easily replaceable, and now you complain about the cruelty of the enterprise and society? You just want to make companies responsible for you, but are you responsible for yourself? You know your family is struggling, why don’t you try to improve your situation yourself?”

“……”

Song Kang couldn’t even say a word of rebuttal. Like the rest of the old staff, he also really never cared about all this extra training, but at this time, he still refused to give in, “You’re a lawyer and you have a sharp-tongue. I can’t argue with you, but either you say that enterprises are socially responsible like this or that. We 111 individuals are also considered a large group of people. We are also a part of this society. If the law doesn’t protect us, then we’ll make a scene! We’ll get the TV and media to come and interview us, we’ll surround the factory! We’ll go and pull banners and shout slogans in front of Simon Paper!”

This was indeed a last resort, once the matter was made a big deal and became social news, public opinion would be used to pressurise and force the government to coordinate. In the end the companies would probably back down.

Unfortunately, Jungkook was not afraid of Song Kang’s threats.

He remained calm and composed, but the coldness in his eyes was even stronger. “Let me put it this way, as a foreign-funded enterprise, Simon Paper usually does not have that strict attendance, especially for the performance appraisal of old employees. Most of the time, they turn a blind eye. I would ask you to carefully take a look at the list of these 111 employees yourself to see who hasn’t been slack in taking this job as a pension income for more than ten years? How many of you have information on the statistical list of late arrivals and early exits? It’s fine to support you when the business is doing well, but who can afford to support you when the business is dying?”

Song Kang paused, then said forcefully, “I’ve been working at Simon Paper for almost twenty years. Who doesn’t have some emergency to attend to at home for which they have to leave early or arrive late at work? This doesn’t mean anything, we will still defend our rights collectively!”

Jungkook looked at Song Kang, “It’s written in Simon Paper’s employee handbook that if you arrive late and leave early more than 10 times in a year, it’s a serious disciplinary offence and the company can fire you. I have retrieved the attendance records of your 111 employees for the past 3 years, including the surveillance video of the entrance of the factory gate. Guess how many of your 111 people have been late more than 10 times?”
“As a lawyer, it is my duty to inform my clients of all feasible options, so naturally I have communicated this situation with the senior executives of Simon Paper before. According to this evidence, it is perfectly possible to fire you people who were seriously late or left early. It is more simple and less expensive than stopping work and paying minimum wage to keep you, but the company is not willing to do this. The company was not willing to use this most economical but most extreme way to deal with the situation, instead they chose a relatively mild suspension of work and production. This plan does give the company a buffer period to tide over the financial shortfall. It also gives you a buffer period to find another job with a little bit of leeway.” Jungkook said coldly, “It’s better than being fired directly, isn’t it?”

“If you want to take your collective rights protection path and pressure the company. Then I’m sorry, the company’s sentiments would be exhausted and I would ask the company to fire you all right away. You can try if you don’t believe me.”

Song Kang has nothing to say at all. His face was changing colours from blue to white.This scene made even Lisa, who had always thought from the standpoint of employees, feel downright embarrassed.

For many cases, if you really think about it from another angle, the standpoint was completely different.
The employees were right, but the company was right too.

“Finally, your lawyer and I have nothing at all going on between us. We just live in the same neighborhood as neighbors. If I, Jungkook, want to win the negotiations, I do not need others to release their fertilised water into my field.” Rely on others for favours Jungkook sneered, “No matter what, I can always win on my own.”

This man was really arrogant, but at this moment Lisa had to admit that he did have the right to be arrogant.

Not only did Song Kang fail to commit the murder, he also endured such a stormy beating from Jungkook that he lost his spirit and felt devastated. At that moment, the police finally came out after someone had called them before and was about to take Song Kang away from the two boys who held him captive.

At that point, the matter finally came to an end. Lisa  looked at Song Kang’s back with mixed feelings. She was just about to turn around and thank Jungkook when she heard his cold voice rang out once again.

He looked at Lisa twice and lamented very seriously and extremely indifferently –
“Me and you are boyfriend and girlfriend? I don’t know what made him think that.”

Although Jungkook didn’t say anything else after these words, the unbelievable tone in his voice and the emotion in his eyes already said everything very well –

This man actually dislike her ? !

Although he didn’t say anything, the words ‘I, Jeon Jungkook, will never look for a girlfriend like you’ were already spilling out from his heart through his unconcealed expression!
Lisa was really angry in her heart. She felt that her words had been stolen by Jungkook.

This man, what does he dislike about herself? Did she steal his family’s rice or something? Lisa  is in predicament if she owes him or if she is indebted to him.
