Chapter 918 -296 Resignation Requires Compensation Deemed as Extortion?_2
Wang Wenyan had an inkling when the other party appeared, but was still a bit surprised upon hearing Ju Haiqing’s words, were he and Tang Fangjing really that close?
Moreover, Tang Fangjing actually personally came out to greet someone?
This was beyond Wang Wenyan’s imagination, as she had tried various means to find a lawyer before and had discussed with some people, who all said that it was basically very hard to meet Tang Fangjing now.
But now, with just one phone call from Ju Haiqing, not only did he meet Tang Fangjing, but Tang also came directly to the door to greet him!
Tang laughed heartily and said: “Let’s not stand outside in this cold weather, hurry up and come in for some drinks, let’s go.”
He of course came out deliberately; Ju Haiqing was someone important to him, his original shareholder and major investor!
Every time assisting during his most crucial moments.
So now that the other party was seeking his help, he had to help, and he also needed to help them save face!
Behind him, Wang Qingqing immediately smiled brightly and said, “If anyone wants to drink something, just tell me.”
Just like that, several people followed and went upstairs to the office, where Wang Qingqing quickly served hot tea and other hot beverages like hot fruit juice.
She has an office specifically for this… Anyone who saw it would definitely call it professional.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Tang spoke up: “I couldn’t discuss in detail over the phone earlier, now could you tell me exactly what the situation is?”
The two older folks, both quite simple and not good with words, turned and looked at their daughter-in-law upon hearing this.
Wang Wenyan appeared nervous in the presence of the famous senior lawyer but still promptly opened her mouth: “Lawyer Tang, it’s like this…”
“My husband, Lan Baosheng, is an employee at Yuanhe Municipal Landscaping Co., Ltd. of Jingzhou City, serving as a director in one of the projects, employed for roughly two years.”
“I don’t know what happened, but this year, the company suddenly sent my husband a notice terminating his employment contract, accusing him of serious dereliction of duty and causing great loss to the company.”
“I’m not sure about the details, but when my husband came back, he said he was going to ask for the severance pay, performance appraisal, reimbursement, overtime pay, and heat subsidies; they refused, so he reported the company for not paying employees’ social security, tax evasion, and unlawful constructions.”
While she was speaking, Tang listened intently, his system dashboard rapidly recording data.
Hearing about the dismissal and asking for money, that seemed normal.
Overtime pay, heat subsidies, and such expenses, don’t ask why he didn’t ask for them while working; it’s because work is important, and for the sake of livelihood, one can only act this way.
But since he was dismissed, these compensations still should be claimed, which is perfectly normal.
Just like Tang himself, in everyone else’s eyes, he looked like the type who wouldn’t mention overtime pay during work, but after being dismissed, he would calculate all these expenses meticulously.
However, the other party didn’t choose regular channels and instead went to report them…
“I don’t know the details of what happened later, just that my husband started preparing for labor arbitration, and then suddenly one day he came back saying the company gave him thirty thousand yuan, and before anything else, he was arrested.”
As she reached this point, Wang Wenyan also mentioned hiring a lawyer, and at last said: “Lawyer Tang, now the police say he’s suspected of extortion, Lawyer Tang, my husband never thought about extorting anyone.”
“He just wanted to get the compensation for being terminated. Why would this happen!”
The elderly couple also pleaded: “Lawyer Tang, we really have no other options now, look at how young our grandson is, what will we do if his father goes to prison…”
Ju Haiqing, who was sitting by the side, had a serious look; he had never worked before and so couldn’t fully understand the situation, only thinking that it was normal for a worker to seek compensation after being dismissed, even if it meant making a report, all just for the money.
If this is considered extortion, then he no longer believes in the criminal law.
Tang looked at the distressed crowd and smiled, saying: “Everyone, don’t be too agitated; he has just been arrested, it’s not yet beyond remedy.”
For some reason, seeing Tang Fangjing’s smile, Wang Wenyan suddenly felt less worried, inexplicably reassured.

Indeed, Tang was always like this; he was the kind of person who gave a reassured feeling of “everything is under control” when you see him.
Even if the sky were falling, he would still smile and tell you:
“No worries, I’ll hold up the sky.”
He was just exceptionally comforting.
After comforting everyone, Tang then said: “The problem now is, if based purely on your account, Lan Baosheng would not be charged with extortion!”
“So, there must be something you don’t know about in this case.”
This was the key point; criminal cases aren’t so easily charged, and nowadays there is less arrest and prosecution, to order an arrest, there must be evidence.
Just saying there should be compensation because the compensation was not given will never lead to any legal trouble.
Looking at each other, the three Wang Family members were unclear about the specifics.
“Didn’t your previous lawyer say anything?” Tang then asked.
“No, he charged per visit and we only met once. When called, he would often say he’s busy, and we hardly talked about anything,” said Wang Wenyan, clearly agitated.
Tang didn’t know what to say; while this profession doesn’t lack good lawyers, there are black sheep that greatly damaged the reputation.
