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

Zheng Kun stood in front of Pei Zhenbang's desk.

He was clutching the case files of Hengtong Trading tightly in his hand.

As for his heart, he secretly harbored a strong desire.

The previous loss in the labor dispute case at the industrial park has always been a thorn in his side.

A director with twenty years of experience in business law was defeated by a young lawyer who switched careers halfway through and focused on criminal cases.

It's so embarrassing to talk about this!

Not to mention that although Pei Zhenbang didn't say it, he could clearly see the dissatisfaction in Pei Zhenbang's eyes!

This time, Zhang Lanlan's company came to him, which was exactly his chance to turn the tables.

"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I'll personally oversee this case and guarantee there won't be any mistakes."

Zheng Kun pushed up his glasses, his tone carrying a hint of certainty.

"Unlike the last case involving the industrial park, where the safety inspection report gave us the upper hand, leaving us on the defensive."

"This is an internal staffing adjustment within the company, and all the materials are in our hands."

"I'll have HR complete the job description, performance appraisal form, and transfer procedure documents in a bit. Then we'll argue that it's a normal business restructuring, and that Zhou Min's performance was substandard and she was not competent for the administrative position. The transfer is entirely in line with the company's right to manage its workforce under the Labor Contract Law."

"No matter how eloquent Jiang Chen is, he can't overturn the company's management system out of thin air!"

Pei Zhenbang nodded, his expression softening slightly. He turned to look at Zhang Lanlan, who was still fuming, and his tone became gentler.

"Did you hear that? With Zheng Kun personally taking action, we can't lose."

"A minor labor dispute involving a small employee won't cause any major problems!"

Zhang Lanlan tossed her meticulously styled curly hair, her anger largely dissipated. She raised her chin and gave a cold snort: "That's good."

"I want to see what happens to that lowly clerk who tries to fight me."

"Once we win the lawsuit, I'll make sure she can't find a job in Xucheng's business district!"

She was very certain.

After all, the Pei Group has been operating in Xucheng for so many years, surely they can win a lawsuit against a pregnant woman?

Meanwhile, inside the law firm.

The afternoon sun slanted across the desk as Jiang Chen flipped through business data on his computer.

Just then, Chen Qiaowei pushed open the door and came in carrying a stack of printed documents, her brows still slightly furrowed.

"Attorney Jiang, I've inquired, and Zheng Kun has personally taken over Hengtong's case."

"He's been trying to get back at us since he lost last time, so this time he'll definitely scrutinize the procedures and details to the extreme. Should we gather some more evidence?"

It wasn't that she didn't believe in Jiang Chen's abilities.

The Pei family is large and powerful, and they have many underhanded tricks up their sleeves. We're always afraid that the other side might cause some trouble along the way!

Jiang Chen looked up, smiled, and turned the computer screen around.

The above is Hengtong Commerce's annual report and procurement details for the past three years.

"Don't worry, the progress is more solid than expected."

He raised his finger and explained clearly, point by point: "First, I checked Hengtong's annual business report and input invoice data. 80% of the company's operating income comes from the targeted office supplies purchases from the Pei Group. To put it bluntly, it's a shell company that Pei Zhenbang set up for his wife. Its business and funds all depend on Pei Group's financial support."

"If we really dig deeper, we could uncover related-party transactions and the transfer of benefits, but they don't dare to make a big fuss!"

"Secondly, I found Li Hui, a former employee who had left the company in an administrative position. Two years ago, she was also three months pregnant when she was transferred to the warehouse to move goods, and was eventually forced to resign."

"She is willing to testify in court to prove that 'forced resignation during pregnancy' is a common tactic of this company, and not a normal business adjustment."

Hearing this, Chen Qiaowei was somewhat surprised.

Surprisingly, Zhou Min's situation was not an isolated case!

"Third, the signature on the 'Unsatisfactory Performance Appraisal Form' submitted by the other party was not Zhou Min's."

"I compared her signature on her employment contract and onboarding form. The pressure and stroke order of the pen don't match. It's obvious that the HR department forged it afterward."

"We'll request a handwriting analysis in court then, and the evidence will be exposed!"

Jiang Chen continued.

"Fourth, I retrieved the salary data of the other three employees in the administrative position through social security payment records and bank statements. They all had a fixed base salary plus a full attendance bonus, and there was no so-called 'performance-based salary reduction' standard."

"This proves that the 30% pay cut was a targeted punishment specifically against Zhou Min, not a uniform performance-based penalty!"

These four pieces of evidence are all solid and directly hit the opponent's core weakness.

Chen Qiaowei's eyes lit up, her earlier worries vanished, and she nodded emphatically: "So much solid evidence? How can they possibly argue back then?"

"It's nothing more than repeating the same old rhetoric over and over again: 'Companies have the right to manage their workforce' and 'Job adjustments are necessary for business operations.'" Jiang Chen closed his laptop and tapped the desktop lightly with his fingertips.

"But faced with irrefutable evidence of targeted discrimination, fabricated evidence, and habitual tactics, even the most eloquent arguments will crumble!"

Now, Chen Qiaowei was completely relieved.

She took the materials, turned around, and went out to organize the evidence book.

In the office, Jiang Chen looked at the four characters "Hengtong Commerce" on the screen.

A faint smile curved at the corners of his lips.

Did he think that by using the Pei Group as a shield, he could get away unscathed?

Quite the opposite.

The more related the companies are, the more likely the Pei family's influence will be revealed!

This lawsuit is not just about the rights of a pregnant woman, but also about publicly exposing the Pei Group's "law-abiding" facade!

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

The arbitration hearing was scheduled to begin as planned.

On the steps outside the district labor arbitration court, Zhang Lanlan, dressed in a smartly tailored silk suit and carrying a limited-edition leather bag, stood in a conspicuous spot with her HR supervisor and Zheng Kun, her face arrogant.

Seeing Jiang Chen accompany Zhou Min as they slowly walked over, she deliberately raised her chin, her eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

Seeing this, Zhou Min subconsciously shrank behind Jiang Chen and gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen.

This was her first time formally standing on the arbitration panel.

Across from them were the owners of the Pei Group, a husband and wife; it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

But then she remembered the grievances she had suffered over the past month, and the solid evidence in Jiang Chen's hands, and she slowly straightened her back.

Jiang Chen seemed oblivious to the other party's provocation, turned and supported Zhou Min's arm, his voice steady: "Let's go, let's go inside."

"Don't be afraid, reason prevails everywhere!"

Seeing that Jiang Chen and the others ignored her, Zhang Lanlan stomped her foot angrily and followed them inside.

He wanted to see where Jiang Chen got all this confidence from!

The group entered the arbitration tribunal one by one.

Inside the solemn courtroom, the court clerk was already checking the documents.

At the applicant's seat, Jiang Chen calmly and methodically organized the evidence book.

In the respondent's seat, Zheng Kun was quietly explaining the key points of the trial to Zhang Lanlan, looking confident.

As for the audience seats, many fans and related media were present, all eager to see who would win and who would lose this case.
