Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

"File a lawsuit now, and submit the documents to the arbitration commission today!"

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment before speaking earnestly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Min was stunned.

They forgot to wipe their tears.

"Huh? Today?"

She could hardly believe it.

"This...isn't this too fast? I thought...we needed to prepare for a few more days!"

The case was filed as soon as we received it?

This is too fast!

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments.

Wow! Attorney Jiang's efficiency! She filed the case right after taking it on?!

[What's the rush! Every extra day is torture for a pregnant woman. The company just wants to drag this out until she can't take it anymore and leaves on her own!]

Exactly! The longer we drag it out, the more passive we become. We should act decisively and cleanly!

Not everyone can afford to wait!

Jiang Chen looked up at her, his gaze falling on her slightly protruding belly, and spoke bluntly.

"Hurry? If you delay for another half month, your belly will be even bigger. Then you'll be doing moving goods every day, supervising night shifts, and controlling attendance. Can you handle that?"

"The company is taking advantage of the fact that pregnant female employees can't afford the hassle and are afraid of the trouble, which is why they dare to act so recklessly."

"The evidence chain is now complete: the employment contract, pay slips, job transfer notice, recordings of your conversations with HR, and prenatal checkup certificates from the hospital. This is sufficient to file a case."

"Submitting the materials a day earlier means scheduling the court hearing a day earlier, and ending this ordeal a day earlier!"

Zhou Min looked down at her stomach and gently placed her hand on it.

Only she knows how difficult that month was for her.

Every day after moving goods, my back is so sore I can't straighten up, and my legs are so swollen at night I can't wear shoes.

I'm afraid that one day I'll overwork myself and cause problems!

If this drags on any longer, both adults and children will suffer.

She bit her lower lip, and when she looked up again, the hesitation in her eyes turned into determination.

"Okay! Attorney Jiang, let's do it today! I'll do as you say!"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Then let's draft the application according to the arbitration request we agreed on before."

"First, the court ruled that the company's unilateral job reassignment and salary reduction were illegal; the reassignment decision is revoked, and the original position and salary are restored!"

"Secondly, we demand the back payment of nearly one month's salary difference, the withheld full attendance bonus, and the salary for the prenatal checkup leave!"

"Third, if the company refuses to rectify the situation, the court will terminate the employment relationship and order the company to pay economic compensation."

"Once the materials are ready, I'll go to the arbitration commission this afternoon to file the case, using the expedited process!"

With Chen Qiaowei's help, the entire set of application materials was completed in less than an hour.

At 3 p.m., the arbitration commission formally accepted the case.

The case was scheduled for almost twice as fast as a regular case!

When Zhou Min walked out of the law firm with the acceptance notice in her hand, she still felt a sense of unreality.

The problem that had been troubling her for a month was now officially underway.

The next morning.

Hengtong Commerce & Trade General Manager's Office.

Zhang Lanlan was touching up her lipstick in front of the makeup mirror.

She wore a custom-made silk suit, and her nails were painted a flamboyant bright red.

Zhang Lanlan is Pei Zhenbang's second wife, ten years younger than her husband. She opened this trading company with the help of the Pei family's resources.

He usually has the final say in the company and never takes ordinary employees seriously.

"Bang!"

The office door was pushed open abruptly, and the HR manager rushed in, clutching a file folder, his face pale.

"Mr. Zhang! Something terrible has happened! We've received a notice to respond to the labor arbitration—Zhou Min…Zhou Min has sued us!"

"You sued them?"

Zhang Lanlan paused noticeably, then scoffed, tossed the lipstick onto the dressing table with a "thud," and turned around.

"She actually dares to sue me? A pregnant employee dares to take me to court?"

She waved her hand dismissively, her tone arrogant: "Go ahead and sue me."

"I have connections at the district court and arbitration commission; it's just a matter of putting in a word with them."

"Let her sue us until the end, she won't get a single penny, and she'll have to leave obediently!"

In her eyes, a pregnant woman with no background or resources couldn't cause any trouble.

The HR manager stood there, her face grim, and stammered, "Ms. Zhang... the problem is, the lawyer she hired is Jiang Chen!"

"Jiang Chen?"

Zhang Lanlan frowned sharply, finding the name strangely familiar yet jarring.

Two seconds later, he suddenly realized what was happening, and his expression changed instantly.

"That's... Jiang Chen, the one who sent Yan Zhou to prison?!"

"That's him!" The HR manager nodded quickly.

"We recently had a labor dispute lawsuit with the Pei Group regarding their industrial park project, and the group lost!"

"Bang!" Zhang Lanlan slammed her hand on the table. "This is outrageous!"

Her chest heaved violently with anger, and her makeup appeared distorted by her fury.

"What does Jiang Chen mean? Is he going against our family?"

"After messing with my son and the group's major projects, now it's my turn, a small trading company?!"

"It's just a minor matter of a pregnant woman being reassigned, and he actually took it personally!"

"They're clearly targeting the Pei family; they're deliberately causing trouble!"

She grew angrier the more she thought about it, grabbed her bag and car keys from the table, and walked out.

"Mr. Zhang, where are you going?" The HR manager quickly took two steps to catch up.

"To the Pei Group headquarters!"

Without turning her head, Zhang Lanlan's voice was filled with anger, "I'm going to find Pei Zhenbang!"

"I'd like to see just how long Jiang Chen intends to ride roughshod over our Pei family!"

Soon, on the other side.

The top floor president's office at the Pei Group headquarters.

Pei Zhenbang was listening to Zheng Kun report on the operational data of the "Migrant Workers Legal Service Station" with a frown on his face.

Clearly, they were not satisfied with the results of intercepting the case source.

The office door was pushed open with a bang, and Zhang Lanlan stormed in, her face still showing signs of anger.

"Zhenbang! You have to stand up for me!"

Pei Zhenbang frowned, suppressing a hint of impatience: "What's wrong? Why are you shouting like that?"

"What's wrong? Why are you asking!"

Zhang Lanlan slammed the arbitration application onto the executive desk.

"That persistent Jiang Chen has sued my company!"

"It's just a minor issue involving a pregnant employee, what's the big deal?"

"He actually took the case himself; it's obvious he's targeting me, deliberately trying to embarrass us!"

Pei Zhenbang picked up the application and glanced at it.

The words "Agent: Jiang Chen" were clearly visible.

His eyes narrowed instantly, and his fingers gripped the edge of the paper tightly.

Jiang Chen...

First, there was his son Pei Yanzhou's criminal case, then the labor dispute in the industrial park. He tried to blacklist and report him, but nothing happened.

Now look what's happened, they've gone straight to Zhang Lanlan's small company!

In his view, this was not a typical labor dispute at all.

This is Jiang Chen's revenge!

If you can't touch his core industries, then target the companies of those around him, pushing them step by step under his nose, deliberately trying to disgust him!

"Great, excellent!"

Pei Zhenbang suddenly stood up, slammed the application back onto the table, his face ashen, his eyes blazing with sinister anger.

"First it was my son, then my company, and now they're even targeting my wife's company."

"Jiang Chen is making it clear that he's determined to fight me, Pei Zhenbang, to the bitter end!"

"Do they really think the Pei family is a pushover, that we can bully them however we want?"

Zhang Lanlan chimed in, her voice shrill and rapid: "Exactly! He's too arrogant! He's just a small-time lawyer, does he really think he can control everything in Xucheng?"

"Zhenbang, you can't let this go! We have to teach him a lesson!"

Pei Zhenbang snorted heavily, his fingers tapping the table sharply. He turned to Zheng Kun beside him, his tone icy. "Zheng Kun, you will personally take over this case."

"Don't hold back, beat me to death!"

"I want to see if Jiang Chen is truly invincible, if he can really win every single case!"
