Because I was about to rush to the company at 6 o’clock in the morning to finally confirm the negotiation plan, Ji Lin wanted to get up quietly, without waking Bai Duanduan, and staying to let her go to sleep. However, she was very alert, and because of the holding posture, When he moved slightly, Bai Duanduan opened his eyes.

Then she stuck Ji Lin...

After finishing washing, Bai Duanduan sat at the dining table, drinking milk quietly, while staring at Ji Lin, with a firm tone of voice: "I will go with you."

Although Ji Lin no longer minds losing so much, but speaking of it, he always does not want his girlfriend to witness the process of losing. He subconsciously finds a reason to refuse: "The company did not hire you as an attorney. You stay in the hotel and wait for me. "He kissed Bai Duanduan's profile, "I will be back as soon as possible."

Bai Duanduan nodded understandingly: "Yes, I didn't sign an agency agreement with the company." Then she looked up at Ji Lin, "But, I remember when I joined Shenglin, except as an independent commission lawyer. , You also work as your assistant. It’s okay if you can’t go together as the attorney for this case. I’ll just go together as your assistant.”

"..."

Regarding fallacies, Ji Lin felt that he was almost no match for Bai Duanduan.

It’s just that Bai Duanduan dealt with herself, always seeming to be very clever. After she finished talking about fallacies and heresies, she tilted her head slightly, looked at herself with a gentle and well-behaved gaze, and then softly opened her mouth again——

"I just want to be with you at this time. Ji Lin, okay?"

Ji Lin pursed his lips: "Don't act like a baby, it's useless to act like a baby."

It’s just that despite saying that, a quarter of an hour later, Ji Lin was already sitting in the same car heading for the company with Bai Duanduan with a frowning face and cold expression...

Unfortunately, Bai Duanduan’s acting like a baby is always useful.

——

Cai Ming, the person in charge of Nano Enterprise, received Bai Duanduan and Ji Lin. Bai Duanduan went as an assistant, sitting in the meeting room quietly listening to Ji Lin and the other party communicating different plans, explaining and telling the upcoming negotiations. Any possibility that might arise, Cai Ming frowned on the current situation and added some details, but it did not help to support winning the negotiation.

"In short, prepare for the worst and listen to what the employees are asking for." In front of customers, Ji Lin is always trustworthy and stable. He calmly said, "The more this time, the more you have to stay calm. Be indifferent, let the labor representatives who come to negotiate do not know your emotions and your cards, be steady, don't show any expressions, leave the rest of the negotiation to me, first find out their requirements."

"Generally speaking, at this time, these employees want to get money quickly without worry and trouble, so they are not willing to really work hard to the point where they have to go to court. What's more, they know that the labor contract itself has been signed. Yes, it’s just destroyed by the executives, but they don’t have our information, and it’s not clear whether we have other evidence to prove that we have signed a written contract. So the first negotiation is very important, it is a kind of test for each other , If the company has any fear, then the employees will speak loudly."

In labor disputes, in the first negotiation, as long as the workers and the enterprise have not completely smashed their faces, there is still the possibility of each stepping back to reach an agreement. After all, going through arbitration and litigation is a waste of time and energy.

"So let's listen to the asking price of the labor representative for the first time." Ji Lin frowned slightly. "According to my experience, as long as their attitude is not so determined, this first offer can be cut. , It’s just that you need to negotiate for many times before you run in, and test each other’s bottom line. Sometimes it’s a psychological battle. You have to be prepared."

Cai Ming looked solemn, and then nodded to Ji Lin.

A few people were all ready, and not long after they finalized the plan and negotiation strategy, the front desk called.

Workers’ representatives have arrived.

Bai Duanduan glanced at Ji Lin, his expression was calm and composed, but his brows were still slightly wrinkled.

Bai Duanduan stretched out his hand and held Ji Lin's under the table. Ji Lin was stunned. He turned his head and glanced at Bai Duanduan. Bai Duanduan only smiled at him, and then Ji Lin also squeezed hers. hand.

——

Soon, the door of the conference room was opened, and a total of three laborer representatives walked in.

Bai Duanduan quickly observed that among the three representatives, the head of the three representatives was a middle-aged man in his forties who wore glasses. He looked well-mannered and had the temperament of a scholar. He probably had a little understanding of the legal provisions, not quite. Looks good to deal with.

On the left side of this middle-aged man is an older woman. She seems to be about to retire at age. Bai Duanduan can't help but frown. This kind of old aunt with the strongest fighting ability is also a bit tricky... …

And the last of the three representatives is a relatively young man. It seems that he has not worked for a few years. Compared with the other two representatives, it is not so stable and inaccessible. Bai Duanduan is almost immediately decisive. I feel that this person will be a breakthrough point for negotiations.

She even planned it in her heart. If she took this young worker representative as her breakthrough point, she might not have an advantage in quarterly negotiations. Perhaps it would be better to come by herself. Sometimes the sense of confrontation between the opposite sex will be weakened. Most of the time there are weaknesses, but they are not without advantages.

It's just that she is still planning, but the middle-aged man headed by the other three spoke first--

"Cai, today we want to talk about our labor contract."

Cai Ming glanced at Ji Lin and put on a calm and flawless expression: "Yes, I have entrusted Lawyer Ji to communicate with you for everything."

The middle-aged man was stunned: "No, you don't actually need to talk to a lawyer."

Ji Lin frowned: "So what are your requirements?"

He doesn't like imaginary and unreasonable snakes, and prefers to get straight to the point without wasting time, but when Ji Linbai Duanduan and Cai Ming were waiting for the workers to ask for money, the feedback from the other three was completely beyond their expectations— —

"No, we actually didn't come to ask for the termination of the contract and the loss of money." The middle-aged man laughed a little bit.

"If I can't post it at the end of the month, can I make it up at the beginning of the next month?" The young man beside the middle-aged man also opened his mouth. He gave Cai Ming a little embarrassed. "I'm just decorating the wedding room. I have added a lot of big items this month, and I have used my credit card. This month’s salary can still be supported, but at the beginning of next month, I will pay back..."

Cai Ming was obviously stunned, and let alone him, Bai Duanduan and Ji Lin were also a little surprised. The laborers represented this opening remark. What kind of medicine was sold in the gourd?Bottom?

Ji Lin cast a wink at Cai Ming. Cai Ming sensibly did not speak. Ji Lin looked at the three laborer representatives: “As long as you have paid the labor and are working normally that month, the company will Legally pay the amount that should be paid."

This answer is actually very official. However, there is no information, even if the other party secretly prepares a recording pen, the words are not leaking.

The middle-aged man paused, and then a little laughed: "Mr. Cai, really, there is no need to hire a lawyer. In fact, it will be better if we talk directly." He glanced at Ji Lin disapprovingly, and then at Cai Ming , The tone was gentle, "We didn't want to go to labor arbitration, nor did we want to leave the company."

"We know what Zhang Chen and his senior executives did. We know that they deliberately destroyed all written labor contracts. We also know that the company's recent capital turnover is difficult. It is indeed difficult to pay wages on time this month, but we did not think about it. Sue the company, and never thought about using them to destroy the contract and ruin the company with a double salary."

The other party’s tone was calm and sincere: “We’re here this time. Actually, there are a few things. The first is what everyone cares about most. I would like to ask how long the company’s dilemma will last? Can the wages in arrears last month? If it can be sent, we have compiled a list here, all of which are employees whose family situation is relatively difficult or are in urgent need of money in the near future. Can the finance pay these employees first? The rest of us, if the company is If I can’t send it out in the short term, I have to provide a proof and give an explanation as to when it can be sent at the latest, so that everyone can feel at ease.”

When the other party said this, it was clear that asking for salary was something they were taking care of, but they were a little embarrassed: "We are all working class. Even if some families have relatively better conditions, they can last longer, but in fact it may not be a few months... So, Mr. Cai, we want to ask, what is the situation of the company now?"

Cai Ming moved his lips and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Ji Lin's eyes. Ji Lin's meaning was very clear-listen to the worker first.

"If the company’s capital chain has some problems, but it’s only a temporary problem, can you tell us clearly how long we need to last? If it’s only a month or two, then we will tighten our belts together and accompany the company to survive. For employees who are really in difficulties at home, we also tell them the real situation and let them choose by themselves. They are in urgent need of money and may not be able to wait, so they will find another job first."

"If the company really doesn't work... then we should all submit our resumes as soon as possible."

This attitude seems to be that the workers have been greatly softened, and they are developing in a good direction that no one has thought of.

However, Ji Lin is still very cautious. His natural resistance to employees and his father’s past experience still make him feel inappropriate. He always feels that these employee representatives are planning some conspiracy to paralyze their nerves in this way. He squeezes. Pursing lips: "This is the first thing you want to talk about, but what about the second one?"

"The second case, we came here to sign up the labor contract with the company." The middle-aged man looked at Cai Ming and Ji Lin sincerely, "We know that the company's labor contract has been destroyed. We have about 200 employees. After discussion, everyone is willing to sign up the labor contract with the company and complete the contract backup process. Although the company's contract version is gone, we still have the original in hand."

At this time, he looked at Ji Lin again as if to remember: "In this case, we still need troublesome lawyers. We can provide the original copy to the company. Mr. Cai asked the lawyer to prepare another copy according to the exact same. Just sign it."

After the other party finished speaking, he glanced at the young man next to him. The young man immediately opened the bag he was carrying and handed a bunch of documents to Ji Lin: "We have also held meetings these days to vote, and then save everyone. All of the labor contracts are collected. Give it to the company first, and the lawyer can prepare it first."

If it is said that there is still the possibility of workers using the guise of reconciliation to defraud the trust of the company when discussing the plan, then this move now fully demonstrates the attitude of these workers.

Ji Lin took the documents and turned over it, and confirmed with Cai Ming that this was indeed the real labor contract before, and the other party gave these originals to the company, which completely gave up the use of no labor contract and can claim double wages. this road……

"There are still wages that are not paid now, and we don't want the company to lose money or fines, as long as we get what we should get." The middle-aged man finished speaking, and took out another document and handed it to Jilin.

This is a completely handwritten agreement, with about a hundred names signed crookedly below.

Bai Duanduan leaned over and took a look, only to see what the agreement was.

This is a joint statement of all employees, from the union. It is written in black and white that after the union's discussion, all employees agree to the company's decision to delay the payment of wages and give up the company's economic compensation for this.

This is a statement with very simple text or even no wording at all. In a few sentences, the following is the seal of the union and the signatures of all employees. Because there are too many people who signed, this page can't even be signed. , Ji Lin turned this page over, only to find that the back was densely packed with signatures in different fonts.

Ji Linbai Duanduan and Cai Ming waited rigorously, even waiting with a hesitant attitude for the employee representatives to dig a hole for themselves, but after waiting, they never expected such a result.

These employee representatives did not give Ji Lin a chance to play. They proactively and frankly showed all their cards-they did not want to hold the company accountable.

Even on the contrary, they want to stand by the company's side and accompany the company through difficult situations.

Ji Lin looked at the statement in his hand and was silent for a moment before raising his head. His eyes were truly confused and puzzled. Bai Duanduan heard him ask why.

Yes, why, even if you have a conscience not to pour dirty water on the company and slander the company for not signing a written labor contract and claiming double wages, it is true that the company has delayed the payment of this month’s wages and is in arrears. These workers can completely ask for it. The company immediately paid and gave a certain amount of economic compensation.

However, at this moment, they unanimously agreed to give up their legal rights, and even handed over the signed and sealed statement and the original labor contract to the company's hands, which should have been held in their hands. The trump card.

why?Not to mention Ji Lin, but Bai Duanduan and Cai Ming also showed doubts on their faces.

"Why? Because the company and the boss are so good to us." This time the answer was the old aunt of the employee representative. She smiled, and Bai Duanduan realized that although it looks difficult, the old aunt actually has a voice. Hong Liang speaks openly and openly, "Mr. Cai, you may not know me. I am Liu Meijuan in the logistics department. I have been there since the third year of the company’s establishment. I am also an old employee, but we are not a business department and we don’t get to Taiwan very much. In the past, the scale of the company became larger and larger, and you might not recognize everyone."

Liu Meijuan paused, and continued: "I, there is a daughter in my family. I got married the year before, and my days were fine, but my health was not up to date. After my daughter got married, I found out that I had lung cancer. Later, I had to undergo surgery and be hospitalized. For chemotherapy, I asked the Human Resources Department to go through the process, but the medical period in one year was exhausted because of my health. Originally, in accordance with the law, this situation belongs to the situation that I cannot do the original job after the prescribed medical period. , You can terminate the labor contract with me, there is no need to raise a sick person like me."

She sighed and her eyes were a little red: "My wife and I were still worried about how to discuss with the company, whether they can cancel the contract and help me continue to pay for medical insurance. I can pay the money by myself, and I don’t have to pay anything. I still have my identity attached to my work unit. There is mainly medical insurance. I can still go to see a doctor after a large percentage. Our family background is also average, and I have never bought commercial insurance, so I just pointed to medical insurance..."

"I didn’t expect that I applied for it. The Ministry of Personnel said it would help me to report to President Cai’s decision. In the end, President Cai not only didn’t ask me to pay for the medical insurance, but he didn’t even terminate the labor contract. He agreed to continue to pay me the lowest price. Basic salary, just let me get good treatment, don't think about anything else, the company will support the rest, it's not bad for my little money..."

When Liu Meijuan talked about this, Hong Liang's voice was also a little choked: "Mr. Cai, this must be a trivial matter to you. I guess you can't remember it at all, and you have forgotten me a long time ago, but I always remember that I became ill that year. , I and my wife felt that I couldn’t make it through if I didn’t use it, but the company didn’t give up on me, and kept supporting me like this. In the end, I took another year’s rest. Until this year, I didn’t expect my life and my condition to be stable. I went back to the company."

The expression on Cai Ming's face has not been faked. In the past few years, he can really describe it with all kinds of reasons. These things are a big deal for Liu Meijuan, but for Cai Ming, they are just casual help in daily life. He really has no impression at all. Now that I heard it, I felt a bit at a loss as if I was listening to other people's things.

However, I didn't expect that it was just such a casual act of kindness that he did not remember in daily life, but Liu Meijuan kept it firmly in her heart. She sniffed and said righteously: "I encountered difficulties before, and the company did not leave me behind; This time the company encountered difficulties, the capital turnover problem, and I will not leave the company. Although I don’t know how to talk about business, I’m an old employee of the company anyway. Everyone calls me Sister Liu for the sake of face. It's a bit of weight. This time I finally have the opportunity to report back to the company. When something happened, I also relied on my previous popularity to calm everyone's emotions, which is also considered to be a contribution to the company. The company has such difficulties, first of all Everyone must not be confused, otherwise the spirit of the panic will shake the military."

After the old aunt finished speaking, she smiled gratefully at Cai Ming: "In short, Mr. Cai, thank you so much.

The middle-aged man in the lead also spoke: "Mr. Cai certainly doesn't remember me anymore." He smiled, "I am the first beneficiary of the company's lifelong education program."

When he said this time, Cai Ming finally realized something on his face: "You are Zeng Yiyang!"

The man opposite nodded, a little embarrassed: "Yes, Mr. Cai, I didn't expect you to remember me."

When the man named Zeng Yiyang spoke, Cai Ming remembered it afterwards. Facing Ji Lin and Bai Duanduan’s puzzled eyes, he explained: “When the company was on the right track for a while when the funds were sufficient, I thought for a while. The company should also provide employees with some improvement education services, and launched this "lifelong education plan". The first batch is for some older employees. Maybe this part of the old employees failed because of their family background. Entering institutions of higher learning, but now the company pays for them and pays them to go to part-time, part-time graduate students, which is considered as an internal training benefit."

Zeng Yiyang nodded: "I am the beneficiary. In fact, in order to prepare for the examination and defense at the school, I took a leave of absence for a while, but the company also granted leave, and did not even sign the service after the training. period."

Speaking of this, Zeng Yiyang sighed with emotion: “I used to be poor at home. I was admitted to graduate school but didn’t have the money to study. I didn’t expect the company to realize my dream for me. I was always very grateful. Later I joined the trade union. When it comes to the difficulty of capital turnover, I trust the company and Mr. Cai’s character. I feel that the company is not deliberately defaulting, but it is really experiencing problems. I don’t want the company to close down like this. Our employees are also grateful for such a good company. If we are limited The power of the company can make the company tide over the difficulties, so we are willing to wait.” He said on the spot, “Cai, my family is not difficult now, my salary can wait, and when the funds can flow, you can send it to others first. ."

Soon, the young worker representative also spoke: "I have also inherited Mr. Cai’s kindness. Before my dad suddenly became ill, the company advanced the year-end award to me, which helped me survive the difficulties. I don’t want such a good company to have an accident. I still want to stay here until I become a sales director."

...

A few people put their hearts to heart. It was Cai Ming, who was told by Ji Lin to maintain stability. He couldn't help but have some red eyes. It has always been easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Cai Ming never expected that he was waiting for the laborers. We are in trouble, but this is what we are waiting for.

"I...I never thought..."

He never thought that his inadvertent act of kindness would actually bear good results in the hearts of others, and at the most critical moment, he gave back to himself in another form.

Kindness is not wasted.

By now, the prepared defenses and confrontations are useless.

Cai Ming was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He only said sincerely, "Thank you, thank you, and thank you every employee. The company has indeed encountered some difficulty in capital turnover, but it has not gone bankrupt. I may I need to owe you one month's salary, but I can definitely pay it next month. Thank you for your trust."

When the three employee representatives heard this, their faces were relieved: "That's good."

Regardless of feelings, after all, everyone has to eat. It’s okay if the salary is delayed for one month or two months. If the time is too long, these three employee representatives will not be able to go back for business. Now Cai Ming has also given the bottom and knows the company Presumably, the difficulty of capital turnover has not reached the point of exaggeration rendered by those executives, and it is also a reassurance.

These employee representatives were frank, and Cai Ming became frank. He glanced at Ji Lin, and nodded silently when he saw Ji Lin. He also simply showed the company's current situation. These employee representatives are also Unambiguously, a negotiation that was supposed to be a rivalry turned into a group of people who sat down and talked about countermeasures.

Cai Ming's face was completely relieved, while Ji Lin's expression was much more complicated.

He probably didn't expect that this was doomed to be lost in his own expectation, and he had to work hard to protect the rights and interests of customers from the hands of greedy laborers. In the end, he did not play any role.

...

And until Ji Lin and Cai Ming said goodbye, until Ji Lin returned to the hotel, he took Bai Duanduan's hand, his expression was still a bit stunned and dazed.

This is an unexpected ending.

There is no see-saw and tearing in imagination, there is no greed and ugly face in imagination, and some are mutual understanding and support.

Laborers and companies are naturally confrontational. Ji Lin has always been in contact with cases where the two parties fight against each other, so that he even forgets that companies and laborers can also support each other.

"In addition to the greedy and malicious laborers, there are also many people who know how to be grateful. When a good company meets a good laborer, it is a mutual achievement and a cycle of gender." Bai Duanduan pulled Ji Lin Hand, feeling inwardly, "Do you know Ji Lin, at first I resented Mr. Cai for letting you accept such a hot potato similar to your father's case, but now I am very grateful to him."

Thank him for letting Ji Lin accept this case, and thank him for giving a similar story a completely different ending.

It may be difficult for Ji Lin to completely come out of the injury of his father's case, but this case may be a relief for him.

It's as if you can finally shake hands with everything in the past.

"The employees are not that bad. Although everyone is sure to be somewhat selfish, most people in the world still know how to be grateful. A considerate company meets a considerate employee. This can be considered a complete success, and no one has failed. Who."

Ji Lin did not speak, but clenched Bai Duanduan's hand. His heart was also full of gratitude. He could hardly imagine that if he hadn't met Bai Duanduan, if he hadn't held her hand in his hand at this moment, she hadn't been there. Came here last night for the sake of himself, what would he look like now?

In short, it will not be as happy and peaceful as it is now.

For a long time, because of his father's case and past depressive experiences, his heart seemed to be entrenched by a malicious black cat, with hatred and stings, and with his claws open, ready to give back revenge and harm at any time, and went forward alone. Go, live alone; and now, Ji Lin feels that the black cat suddenly ran away, but his heart did not feel hollow, because something warmer filled it.

The old year was about to pass. When the two arrived at the airport, they ushered in the first snow of this winter, and the flight back to City A had to be delayed for this reason.

In the past, Jilin could not tolerate flight delays and felt that it was a waste of time to break his planned plan. However, now with Bai Duanduan, I feel that there is nothing wrong with the delay, because the time between him and Bai Duanduan seems to be undisturbed. A little more.

After dinner at the airport, Ji Lin received a news feed on his mobile phone. He clicked to read it, and suddenly felt emotional, and then hugged Bai Duanduan.

"It is said in the news that the shutdown of Simon Paper is over." Ji Lin kissed the pro-bai Duanduan's profile. "Production will be resumed on the first day of New Year's Day next year. The employees who were previously affected by the shutdown and production stoppages have already been counted. Re-signed the labor contract and returned to work in the new year. For the rest of the employees who were forced to leave before, Simon Paper also re-offered offers and invited the other party to return to work with no less than the original salary."

"Paper companies have survived the industry's cold winter this year, and the market is expected to be better next year. For these employees who have gone through shutdown and production with the company, Simon Paper has also given a certain amount of salary increase." Ji Linwen said, " You know, in this economic downturn, such a move is no longer easy."

Probably God never treats people who work hard. On the last day of leaving the old and welcoming the new year, he not only prepared Ji Lin a gift that allowed him to say goodbye to the past, but also prepared a gift for Bai Duanduan——

"I know that because of your father’s experience, you are still very wary of companies. You always feel that most of the business owners are still cruel capitalists, but there are also good companies, as well as those full of social responsibility and humanistic feelings. Mr. Cai’s Nano Company Yes, Simon Paper is also the same. Although the suspension of production and production will affect employees in the short term, it will ultimately ensure the survival of the company. Now that the company is slowing down, the first thing that comes to mind is to give back to those employees who have survived the difficulties with the company. "

It is true that Bai Duanduan still has some prejudices against enterprises. However, driven by Ji Lin, under the influence of more and more enterprises with a sense of social responsibility, she is gradually changing.

Rarely, she was silent for a moment, and then she spoke softly: "This is probably because the world is not so good, nor so bad."

Ji Lin kissed her: "Well, the world is not that good or bad, but you are all good."

There are many flavors of life, but you are sweet.

——

Finally, the flight was delayed until 12:30 in the evening, as if it was directly delayed for a year. At 12 o'clock in the morning when the old and the new year alternated, in the boarding notice, Ji Lin gave Bai Duanduan the first kiss in the new year. Then he said, Happy New Year.
