Grassroots lawyers also have their day

The reason we walked so far was because the food at this small restaurant was affordable and tasted pretty good. Originally, Brother Pan didn't want to go so far for lunch, but ordering takeout from the law firm every day got boring after a while, so he went along with everyone else.

At 1 p.m., Wang Chuan dialed the company's contact number he had obtained from Mu Huaijin. After arranging to meet the company's administrative specialist at Exit A of Chegongzhuang subway station, Wang Chuan and Wei Ping hurriedly left the law firm.

"When we get to the People's Hospital, if the doctor is female, I'll ask. If the doctor is male, you ask," Wang Chuan whispered to Wei Ping on the subway.

"Why?" Wei Ping's eyes were full of doubt.

"Haven't you heard that like repels like and opposites attract?!" Wang Chuan said with a mysterious smile.

"Well... I have a cousin who studied medicine and works in the medical affairs department of the People's Hospital," Wei Ping said in a low voice after a moment of silence.

Uh… okay, you're bisexual! Wang Chuan blinked helplessly, tilted his head back and pretended to look at the weather: “…The weather is so warm today!”

"Warm? Young people are so energetic! It's much colder today than yesterday." It wasn't rush hour, and the subway wasn't crowded. An elderly man sitting opposite Wang Chuan exclaimed in surprise after hearing his remark.

The old lady sitting next to the old man nudged her husband with her elbow and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. Didn't you see they're a couple?"

"Oh!...I understand, I understand!" the old man suddenly realized, "I was too talkative!"

Wang Chuan looked embarrassed. To be honest, the woman next to him, Wei Mei, was absolutely gorgeous, but the two of them were not in that kind of relationship at all. What was going on here?

Wei Ping's face also felt a little hot, and she awkwardly lowered her head to look at her toes.

"Grandpa, we are..." Wang Chuan looked at the elderly couple opposite him, about to explain, but was interrupted by the old lady.

"Young man, you don't need to explain. What others think doesn't matter."

"Your uncle is old, his eyesight is failing, he forgets to take his medicine when he goes out, and he speaks without thinking. But your aunt is still your aunt, she still has sharp eyes. Have you heard of the 'Chaoyang Masses, Xicheng Aunties'?" the old lady said proudly.

"...You don't live in the West City, do you?" Wang Chuan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Go on...you guys go on...don't worry about us! Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!" the old lady said smugly in a low voice.

Good heavens! Is this what you call being low-key? Luckily, there weren't many people on the subway.

We were just whispering a few words to avoid disturbing others, how did we become a couple? I'll continue... continue my ass! Wang Chuan looked utterly helpless. These two old folks, neither of them has any sense of propriety!

After exiting the subway, Wang Chuan met the administrative specialist sent by his company, a young woman. After Wei Ping called her cousin, the three of them headed straight to the hospital's outpatient hall.

Ten minutes later, a long-haired beauty wearing a white lab coat and frameless glasses floated over. Yes, she "floated"—she walked very fast and very lightly.

"Cousin, this is my colleague Wang Chuan, and this is the administrative specialist I mentioned to you earlier. We'd like to verify the authenticity of the medical certificate."

@#$%^&*<>?%￥#@......” Upon seeing her cousin, Wei Ping immediately switched to her hometown dialect.

Wang Chuan only understood the first few sentences of Wei Ping's conversation with the pretty female doctor. The two chattered on for a long time afterward, but he didn't understand a word of it.

The company's administrative staff member standing nearby was also completely bewildered.

"My cousin said she'll take us to the department to check directly," Wei Ping said, turning to Wang Chuan and the other person.

"Come with me!" the pretty female doctor said, turning and walking upstairs.

As the saying goes, having connections in high places makes things easier, and having connections in hospitals makes things just as easier.

With a beautiful female doctor leading the way and the hospital staff cooperating well, Wang Chuan and his team quickly ascertained the situation.

A middle-aged male doctor held the diagnostic certificate, frowning as he examined it, remaining silent for a long time. Wang Chuan, sensing something amiss, asked, "Doctor, is there a problem with this diagnostic certificate?"

"I think the signatures on these diagnostic certificates are about 70-80% genuine, but I don't remember this patient at all. And this stamp is wrong, it looks a bit awkward," the male doctor said, clicking his tongue.

"Are you sure?" Wang Chuan pressed.

"Yes, the name on this is mine, so I can tell if the signature is real or fake." As he spoke, the male doctor took a copy of the "Diagnosis Certificate" he had just issued from the table, stacked it together with the original "Diagnosis Certificate" provided by the company's administrative specialist, and compared the seals.

"Look, the stamp on this 'Medical Certificate' you brought is a little small. It's just a tiny bit smaller; unless you're someone who frequently issues medical certificates, you wouldn't notice it with the naked eye. ...I was saying it looks a bit awkward!" The male doctor handed the two original documents to Wang Chuan.

Male doctors issue dozens of diagnostic certificates every day. Over the years, they have become accustomed to the format and seal of the diagnostic certificates.

So when he first saw the "Certificate of Diagnosis" that the company's administrative staff took out, his sixth sense told him that there was something wrong with the "Certificate of Diagnosis".

But he couldn't quite put his finger on the problem, which was why he remained silent for a long time. It wasn't until he took out the newly issued medical certificate and compared it with the original one that he finally found the issue.

Wang Chuan held the two "Diagnosis Certificates" up to the fluorescent light and examined them. Indeed, the sizes of the stamps were different. The company's administrative specialist also came over to look at them carefully.

"Okay, thank you. We understand!" Wang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and winked at Wei Ping. Wei Ping's cousin then led the three of them out of the department.

After exiting the east gate of the People's Hospital, Wang Chuan and his two companions stood outside the subway station.

Of the three, only Wang Chuan was male, and he appeared older and more mature than Wei Meinu, seeming more experienced. Therefore, the administrative staff naturally looked at him: "Attorney Wang, what's the best way to handle this matter?"

She understood what the male doctor had said clearly. The administrative specialist was just a young woman with little work experience, who usually did odd jobs and had never encountered this situation before. Now she was a little lost and didn't know how to report to the company.

Wang Chuan felt uneasy at being called "lawyer." He hadn't even received his intern lawyer's certificate yet, so how could he presumptuously admit that he was a lawyer?

However, since people called him that, he couldn't really refute or deny it directly. He just treated it as a way to satisfy his vanity.

"You saw what just happened. The seals on these medical certificates are problematic; they might be fake. If that's the case, it's a serious matter!"

I suggest the company speak with the employee, informing him that the company is preparing to go to the hospital to verify the leave application materials he provided. See what he says.

If the other party admits to falsifying information, and the company wants to avoid making things too complicated, it can ask the other party to return the previously paid sick leave wages, social security, and housing provident fund contributions, and then ask the other party to resign voluntarily.

"In addition, the company should keep all the leave application materials previously provided by the other party safe. You can check whether the seal is the same as the seal on these 'Medical Certificates'. Make the necessary preparations for the follow-up." Wang Chuan thought for a moment and said.
