The conference room of this law firm is very large, with a long brown oval table and brown glass walls on all sides. It has a very modern feel.
However, in such a large conference room, two people sitting alone, how could they not feel oppressed? Perhaps this is a strategy of this firm.
At the long oval table, Bisi sat with a middle-aged Chinese woman.
Said to be Chinese, of course, in Lu Ming’s eyes.
“Why are you dressed like this?! I send you to school every day and then you run away and become a lowly worker?!” Pan Mila walked up to Bi Si and scolded her loudly.
Bis was wearing a yellow waiter uniform similar to that of a fast food restaurant, which did not match her temperament.
“Madam, don’t be angry. Bisi is wearing part-time clothes, and she only comes here occasionally to work for a while. I don’t dare to violate the law and let her do full-time work…” The middle-aged Chinese woman He stood up a little awkwardly and explained in a low voice.
Bis lowered her head. It seemed that she was very afraid of her mother, with tears welling up in her eyes.
“Pan Mila, let me tell you…” Lu Ming waved his hand, pulled out a chair and sat down next to Bi Si and the landlady.
Pan Mila bit her lip. This guy, unlike other Central-Continent people, could order himself naturally without making people feel annoying.
Perhaps it’s because of the confidence he shows. He can feel that regardless of race, everyone is equal in his eyes.
They are completely different from those hypocritical tribesmen, as well as the humble Middle-earth people, and other Middle-earth people who have gained power and deliberately show off in front of themselves.
He is really the kind who looks at everyone with a very flat and equal gaze.
“I am the lawyer representing Miss Pan Mila. Now, I am also the attorney of Bisi. My surname is Lu and my name is Lu Qianxing. What is your relationship with Bisi? What is going on? Tell me. Said. “Lu Ming looked at the middle-aged woman.
Middle-aged women should have been beautiful women when they were young. Today, MILFs still have their charm. They wear light blue cheongsam, which is also a preferred and popular dress among Chinese women in the East China Sea today.
“My, my surname is Jin, and my name is Jin Taohua…” She looked at Lu Ming suspiciously, “You look very young…Are you really a lawyer?”
Lu Ming smiled and said, “Yes!” In this world, he is only nineteen years old and has a tender face.
Also said: “Miss Pan Mila will never lie to others, right? Tell me, what’s going on?!”
Jin Taohua sighed, “Oh, oh, that’s it. Yesterday, a customer in my store fell down because Bi Si didn’t clean up the water on the restaurant floor in time. So, he, he asked Bi Si Bi Si paid for her medical expenses and also found a lawyer here. Today we are going to talk about compensation. Bi Si doesn’t want to tell her family, but I think if she doesn’t tell Mrs. Pan Mila, if something happens, I will You can’t bear the responsibility, right? Lawyer Lu?”
Lu Ming frowned. According to the law in his previous life, even if there was such a responsibility, it was the responsibility of the store, not the waiter.
But in recent months, I have been reading legal books here when I have time. According to some cases, employees are indeed responsible.
The laws of this world sometimes favor employers and the wealthy class.
Even child labor is allowed, but there are requirements for labor intensity, and it cannot be full-time. In fact, the situation of child labor in the United States is much better than before the Roosevelt New Deal in the previous life.
“Bisi, is this what Manager Jin said?” Lu Ming looked at Bissi.
Jin Taohua immediately said: “How could I lie to you and Mrs. Pan Mila?” She spoke quickly and looked like a very shrewd boss lady.
Bisi nodded timidly.
Pan Mira frowned at the side, but glanced at Lu Ming and did not interrupt.
Lu Ming thought for a while: “Then why didn’t you clean up the water? Does the store’s employee code require you to clean up the water as soon as possible?”
“Hey, Lawyer Lu, what do you mean?” Jin Taohua immediately became anxious.
“Yes…” Bisi whispered, “Uncle, everything is my fault…”
Obviously, at such a young age, she is actually very smart. She is also a child of a poor person. She actually knows the meaning of Lu Ming’s question. Moreover, looking at Jin Taohua’s anxious look, it is clear that the employee code does not stipulate in such detail. Little guy, you just mentioned that article in the employee code out of loyalty.
Lu Ming smiled and asked: “Then why didn’t you clean up the water stains at that time? Was it because you were lazy?”
Bisi immediately shook her little head, “No, I was the only one in the restaurant at that time. A batch of flour came from the kitchen, and the other waiters were called away by Aunt Jin to move the goods.”
Lu Ming nodded, looked at Jin Taohua, frowned and said: “Manager Jin, given her age, although the imperial law does not explicitly prohibit helpers, it requires employers to arrange for adult workers to be nearby, let alone heavy labor. At such a young age, she takes care of the entire restaurant by herself? The problem is your fault and has nothing to do with my client.”
What Jin Taohua wanted to say, Lu Ming waved his hand, “I understand, you think she is a Westerner and nothing will happen to her, so you put all the blame on her. However, she is only eight years old. What has happened to her in the past two days? We all experienced this kind of psychological pressure as children, can you imagine?”
Jin Taohua, who originally wanted to argue, fell silent, with a look of shame on her face.
“Now, please tell me in detail what the situation is. I don’t want to put the responsibility on you and walk away. If I can help you, I will try my best to help you.”
Bisi suddenly started sobbing. Obviously, she understood what Lu Ming was saying. This strange uncle whom she had only met a few days ago seemed to have wiped away the nightmares of the past two days.
It turns out that this uncle is a barrister and a very capable person.
Moreover, this uncle seemed to know her very well. While helping her, he did not embarrass Aunt Jin, and even helped Aunt Jin with the lawsuit.
Aunt Jin, she almost doesn’t recognize her these past two days. This good person who once helped her a lot now wants her to take on such a big responsibility.
Why is Aunt Jin like this?
This made her little mind extremely confused, not to mention how many grievances and complex emotions she had.
But now, everything is settled.
She didn’t know why, so she cried loudly, and the louder she cried, it was as if all her grievances were vented in her tears.
“Why are you crying? There is no future!” Pan Mila scolded.
Lu Ming frowned: “If the child wants to cry, let her cry! I think this child is smarter than you. You just want to save face and suffer. You can’t even open the laundry, and you don’t want to find a new job. You are sitting on nothing every day. , she came out to do child labor at a young age, didn’t she want to help you reduce your burden? Let me tell you, don’t scold her when you go back. In fact, you feel sorry for her, don’t you?
Pan Mila was stunned, biting her red lips and staring at Lu Ming. Finally, she suppressed her anger, snorted, raised her white jade neck, like a proud swan, “I will not argue with barbarians.”
Bisi listened to Lu Ming scold her mother, but did not provoke her mother’s rebuke. Her cries were stagnant. She looked up and saw Lu Ming holding out a handkerchief to her with blurred tearful eyes. She couldn’t help it any longer and suddenly jumped in. In Lu Ming’s arms, he held Lu Ming and cried bitterly.
Lu Ming was stunned. Although the little girl’s work clothes still had the smell of cooking, and Lu Ming had always been a bit mysophobic, he still didn’t push her away.
“Okay, it’s okay!” Lu Ming gently patted her swaying shoulders.
He then said to Jin Taohua: “You tell me your story, tell me all the details.”
