Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 295: The Court Has Ruled! The Entire Internet Is Stunned!

Chapter 295: Chapter 295: The Court Has Ruled! The Entire Internet Is Stunned!

Zhou Xiaoyan continued, "Judge, Lawyer Gu Chen, I admit my mistake... I admit my ignorance, and I’m willing to return all the wages I received back to the company. I have two children, and I shouldn’t have spread various rumors online..."

Zhou Xiaoyan was very nervous.

She is now very afraid of going to jail.

Earlier, Lawyer Zhang also said that she was really going to jail.

Zhou Xiaoyan definitely doesn’t want to go to jail.

Now she’s truly scared.

If she goes to jail, it’s all over!

Zhou Xiaoyan said, "I can apologize publicly online, admit my mistakes. I intentionally used my pregnancy... and then planned to stay in the company for a year to earn money and then resign. Lawyer Gu, I realize my mistake, I admit it, and I beg you to forgive me generously. I shouldn’t have acted like this... I’ll do anything you ask."

As Zhou Xiaoyan spoke, she began to cry.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of going to jail for three years?

At the time, she merely uploaded a few videos online and went live to vent some frustrations; she never thought this would lead to jail time.

She never expected Gu Chen’s firm to actually dare to fire a pregnant woman.

Zhou Xiaoyan cried as she spoke.

At this time, the judge struck the gavel.

"Now, please proceed with the plaintiff’s final statement."

Gu Chen said, "Although the defendant recognizes her mistake, the company and my reputation have suffered significant losses. Zhou Xiaoyan’s statements have exceeded over ten million views online, attracting comments from hundreds of thousands of people, greatly impacting the company, so Zhou Xiaoyan must still be held accountable."

"Therefore, our litigation request remains unchanged."

Gu Chen was also resolute.

The company has always treated pregnant women well.

The company wouldn’t fire an employee just because she’s pregnant,

Except in cases like Zhou Xiaoyan’s, where she only showed up at work for five days in two months, taking leave the rest of the time.

Currently, many online users are criticizing Gu Chen’s firm, greatly affecting its reputation.

This controversy, therefore, must be handled seriously.

Since Zhou Xiaoyan acted, she should accept the legal punishment.

The judge, Shen Jiarui, nodded.

"All rise!"

Everyone in the courtroom stood up.

Judge Shen Jiarui declared, "The judgment of this court is as follows—"

"1. After joining the company, Zhou Xiaoyan did not meet the company’s employment standards, idling at her workstation, and she only worked five days after two months of employment. According to Article 20 and 21 of the Labor Law, the employment relationship is peacefully terminated, and the company does not need to compensate Zhou Xiaoyan."

"2. Zhou Xiaoyan idled at her workstation, neglected her duties, and requested leave without a medical diagnosis. However, since her leave was approved by the company, according to Article 61 of the Labor Law, Zhou Xiaoyan will receive basic wages. Now, Zhou Xiaoyan is ordered to return a wage difference of 15,000 yuan to the company."

"3. Zhou Xiaoyan produced videos, conducted live streams, and posted articles that defamed and slandered Gu Chen Law Firm, severely damaging the company’s brand image and reputation and causing considerable impact on Gu Chen personally.

According to Article 246 of the Criminal Law, those who publicly insult others or fabricate facts to defame others through violence or other means face up to three years of fixed-term imprisonment, detention, control, or deprivation of political rights if the circumstances are serious.

Considering Zhou Xiaoyan’s good attitude in admitting guilt and her strong remorse, she is now sentenced to compensate the company for various losses totaling 101,200 yuan, with a three-year sentence, suspended for two years."

"This case is now closed."

Judge Shen Jiarui struck the gavel!

The case was over!!

The live stream’s viewers started sending bullet comments.

[Lawyer Gu, amazing!!]

[Another case won, so awesome!!]

[Zhou Xiaoyan defamed the company in various ways, spreading rumors—serves her right. Just because she’s pregnant doesn’t mean she can extort money from the company. Why should she? After posting so many videos online, facing criminal charges is normal.]

[Well played, Lawyer Gu!]

[The Little Fairy in the live stream has vanished, good, good. The Little Fairy never fights against the wind anyway.]

[I’m a girl, and I support Lawyer Gu! What Lawyer Gu did is justified, and he was even good to the pregnant woman....]

[I’m a graduate student from Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and I’m interested in joining Gu Chen’s firm... Gu Chen’s company is too great, both in treatment and benefits—who wouldn’t want to join?]

[Damn, now the hiring standards at Gu Chen Law Firm have gotten much higher! It’s all Zhou Xiaoyan’s fault!!]

Zhou Xiaoyan heard her sentence was suspended and that she still had to pay over a hundred thousand...

Zhou Xiaoyan lowered her head, overwhelmed with regret.

She should never have used such a method to scam money...

And Gu Chen personally handled the case... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Thankfully, it was a suspended sentence, so she won’t have to serve jail time, but she will have a criminal record, and her children won’t be able to apply for public sector jobs in the future.

Zhou Xiaoyan sighed.

Gu Chen is truly formidable.

She had already gone through labor arbitration and completed the first trial but Gu Chen easily overturned the case on appeal.

If it weren’t for her good attitude, willingness to apologize and compensate, and being pregnant, she would undoubtedly have been incarcerated....

"Ah... If I had known, why did I have to mess things up? I managed to get into Gu Chen’s law firm. I would have been happy just working hard at his company; 20,000 yuan a month salary! Yun City isn’t huge—where else can I earn 20,000 a month?"

"Elsewhere, I could earn at most eight or nine thousand a month. Why did I think of leveraging my pregnancy for money instead of just working contentedly here? The benefits for pregnant women here are so good, with an additional 2,000 subsidy each month—what company’s that good? Boo hoo hoo..." Tears welled up in Zhou Xiaoyan’s eyes.

She has now realized her mistakes, but it’s too late.

The case is done...

This case sparked intense discussion across the internet.

[Lawless Madman strikes! Even after labor arbitration, the Lawless Madman can reverse the verdict and send the opponent in!]

[The Lawless Madman sent another one in! Who accuses this official?]

[This is Lawyer Gu, incredible!!]

[Gu Chen Law Firm’s benefits! I’d like to work there too!!]

[Who wouldn’t want to work at a place offering a 2,000 subsidy for pregnant women, four-day work weeks, and three days off? Now, even regular two-day weekends are rare!!]

[Gu Chen’s firm is too amazing!! Aaaaah, why didn’t I discover it sooner?]

[Is Zhou Xiaoyan out of her mind? She had such a wonderful company but didn’t attend work; instead, she messed around like this, got herself fired, still had to pay over a hundred thousand, and face jail time, albeit with a suspended sentence—she still has a record!]

Gu Chen and Xue Qingqing returned to the law firm to rest.

For Gu Chen, this case is over, but there is no time to rest yet.

Because... Zhou Wenjing’s case is about to be judged!
