What's wrong with this lawyer?!

December in Dongfang City had become a bit chilly, the same familiar noodle shop, and Zhao Bin was eating noodles with Old Tang.

Only now, the mood while eating was completely different from before.

Listening to the conversations of the workers in the noodle shop, Zhao Bin still felt as if he were dreaming.

Could it be that the intermediary company that had once forced him to fight desperately with a knife was all locked up now?

The money was almost in hand, there was just one thing, Lawyer Tang, upon hearing that the owner and employees of the intermediary had all been arrested, cursed for quite a while.

Zhao Bin didn't know what he was cursing about, nor did he dare to ask.

He just hoped that the money would be in hand soon, as Lawyer Tang had said it would be quick.

Old Tang, sitting next to him, couldn't help but want to complain while eating his noodles. Damn it, he had actually miscalculated this time, having been blinded by continuous success.

He hadn't expected the Guanning sub-bureau to be so efficient, at least much faster than the Bright District.

No sooner had they filed a report than, in just two days, not only was the case opened, but the people were arrested...

The subsequent news was heard at the human resources market, where the information was always very well-informed.

Had he known that people would be arrested so quickly, why would he have bothered to spend money on applying for property preservation? Well, it was done anyway.

He had already applied with the Guanning District Court for compulsory enforcement, to get Zhao Bin's money in hand first.

Principal Mou as well as the other teachers had already entered the review and indictment stage, and judging by the frequency with which the opposing lawyers contacted him, the problem must be serious.

After so many years, even if some of the evidence had long been lost, the accumulated amount was certainly enough to give the other side a hard time.

What was a bit strange, however, was that there was still no word from Luzhou, and the relevant departments had remained silent.

No matter, he, Old Tang, would definitely take action. If Luzhou wanted to handle it quietly, he would make it loud and let everyone see how awesome Luzhou Technical School was!

The tax authorities were also said to have started moving, but it was unclear what the situation would be.

As the old Chinese saying goes, "The ducks know first when the river warms in springtime." Now that the higher-ups had deployed and begun to take action, basically all the intermediary companies had heard the wind.

Especially those intermediary bosses who had attended the meeting: Bai Chenlin, suspected of illegal business practices, was taken away by the public security organs right in front of them.

As a result, many workers who were settling wages found that the intermediaries, who were always looking for opportunities to deduct their wages, suddenly seemed to have changed their ways.

"Look it over carefully, I haven't shortchanged you a penny, I give you as much as the factory gives me, no problem, right?" people from the intermediary company said with beaming smiles.

"Also, this is the money that another factory deducted from you previously; after our efforts, we finally got it back for you. Check to see if anything is missing."

"No... nothing's missing..." the working brother was dumbfounded.

Not only had they not deducted a penny this time, but they had even paid out what was deducted last time. Had these bastards without a shred of decency suddenly grown a conscience?

Old Tang had seen quite a few such cases, at this point, these people, when giving what they owed to the workers, still seemed to feel it was a sort of "charity."

He didn't know what more to say, but it seemed to him, actually quite common.

In the human resources market, a woman said, "Is the situation really that serious this time? Our family has given out a lot of money today."

The man beside her said with a dark face, "A lot of money? Bai Chenlin didn't even have the chance to give money; as he was being arrested, he was still saying, 'I promised to pay, you go talk to them.'"

"Look at it now, not a peep, the whole company's people have been arrested, tell me how serious it is!"

The woman fell silent, she just felt a little pain about the money, earning a bit over so many years was not easy.

And Bai Chenlin, who was on the lips of many, now faced the police and finally realized his predicament.

"No, some of these workers are slippery, it's true they had their money deducted by the factory, and it was the factory who didn't want the hassle and asked us to help distribute the wages!"

At this point, he could no longer care about business.

A dead Taoist priest does not die a poor Taoist priest, the least he could do was not end up in jail, as the factory had entrusted them to help distribute the wages.

"You better think it over, sure you want to resist, huh? I'm telling you, we've started investigating all the factories your company has dealt with."

"How much money was actually distributed can all be traced, and, you claim the factory entrusted your company to distribute the money, do you have a letter of authorization?"

"Let me tell you once more, leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist!"

"Fine, then regarding the Dongfang City intermediaries, if one company has done this, they all have, why arrest me and not them?" Bai Chenlin protested his unfair treatment once again.

In response, the police officer did not reply, only saying, "Bai Chenlin, think carefully."

Dongfang City had suddenly begun a special rectification campaign targeting the labor market!

Market supervision, labor departments, together with the public security organs, teamed up and the labor intermediary market began to shake intensely.

Within a single day, more than thirty heads of intermediary companies had been taken away by the public security organs, and the rest were left to the market supervision departments.

The rectification campaign was still ongoing, and the relevant departments also issued a hotline for reports, where anyone could report clues about intermediary companies maliciously deducting wages.

Under multiple measures, the labor agency industry of Dongfang City was in a state of widespread distress.

Many workers finally understood the reason; turns out the higher-ups were making a move, and their sudden kindness made them think, damn it, these dogs had developed a conscience.
