Chapter 290 Gu Chen Takes Action
The fairies in the live broadcast room all came to defend Zhou Xiaoyan.

Zhou Xiaoyan is a pregnant woman. Isn’t it normal for a pregnant woman to take leave and rest at home?

As a result, the company fired the pregnant woman. Does that mean the company has nothing wrong at all?

At this time, Zhou Xiaoyan's defense lawyer Zhang Yao came out.

Zhang Yao stood up and said, "Judge, our client Zhou Xiaoyan is pregnant."

"I want to share with you how difficult it is to get pregnant and give birth. Every woman is great during the ten months of pregnancy."

"After Zhou Xiaoyan became pregnant, she had various abnormalities in her body, which was very normal."

"I don't think it's a problem that Zhou Xiaoyan frequently takes sick leave."

"A pregnant woman in the early stages of pregnancy is very likely to experience pregnancy reactions, and her body will feel very uncomfortable."

"Zhou Xiaoyan's situation is special. This is her first pregnancy. Coupled with psychological stress and other factors, her body feels very uncomfortable. She needs to go home to rest and go to the hospital for examination. This is all normal."

"Everyone in your company is blaming a woman for being pregnant. You fired a pregnant woman. Don't you think your company has no problems at all? I heard that your law firm has only been established for less than a year. Newcomers to the law firm are under great pressure and busy, which is an even more severe test for a pregnant woman."

"Just because Zhou Xiaoyan took a few extra days off, your company is going to fire her? Why? Huh?"

"In this environment, you company bosses and entrepreneurs are not thinking about serving the people, serving pregnant women, protecting the rights of pregnant women, and protecting the rights of women. Instead, you are thinking about how to make money. Is this reasonable? If a female employee becomes pregnant, you want to fire her. Is this reasonable?"

"So, your company must make compensation and restore the labor relationship. Zhou Xiaoyan is already pregnant. She can't find a job now."

"If your company must dismiss Zhou Xiaoyan, that's fine. If you don't want to resume the labor relationship, then you have to compensate Zhou Xiaoyan for one year's salary, which is 180,000 yuan. The company must also apologize to Zhou Xiaoyan and compensate her for mental damages totaling 100,000 yuan, for a total of 280,000 yuan," said Zhang Yao.

Zhou Xiaoyan nodded.

This is the lawyer I hired.

Reliable!

She was a pregnant woman, a member of a vulnerable group.

But Gu Chen's company openly bullied her and fired her, which she could not accept.

The company must apologize to her and compensate her, otherwise she will absolutely not accept it.

The fairies in the live broadcast room were also posting comments.

[Yeah, what's wrong with taking a few days off? Can't pregnant women take a few days off? ]

[Haha, taking a few days off is killing these capitalists. I thought Gu Chen was a good boss, but now it seems that Gu Chen and those capitalists are the same.]

[If they can’t even protect the rights of pregnant women, then this law firm is no good either. They should just go bankrupt! ! ]

[Which company dares to fire pregnant women like you? Can pregnant women be fired? Will you be killed if you take a few days off? ]

[This company just doesn’t want to pay more to pregnant women! It’s discriminating against pregnant women! ]

[Although I am a fan of Gu Chen, what Gu Chen did was really wrong. ]

There are too many fairies in the live broadcast room.

Many, many fairies reported Gu Chen's law firm through various channels online.
There are also various people posting on the Internet to slander Gu Chen's company.

Zhang Yao said: "According to Article 4 of the Regulations on Labor Protection for Female Employees, the basic salary of female employees shall not be reduced, or the labor contract shall not be terminated during the pregnancy, maternity and breastfeeding period." "According to Article 27 of the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests: No unit shall reduce the salary of female employees, dismiss female employees, or unilaterally terminate the labor (employment) contract or service agreement due to marriage, pregnancy, maternity leave, breastfeeding, etc."

"Gu Chen's company was supposed to pay Zhou Xiaoyan 30,000 yuan in salary, but ended up paying her only 20,000 yuan because Zhou Xiaoyan took too many days off. Zhou Xiaoyan should also be compensated for this loss of 10,000 yuan."

Zhang Yao directly cited the legal provisions!
Zhang Yao continued: "Article 29 of the Labor Law states that employers may not terminate the labor contract of female employees during their pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding periods."

"The Labor Law clearly stipulates that the rights of pregnant women should be protected, but Gu Chen's law firm blatantly violated the law! This law firm is full of lawyers, and they broke the law knowingly, which is an even greater crime! Therefore, Gu Chen's law firm should be fined! And ordered to make corrections!"

"Moreover, Article 62 of the Labor Law stipulates that female employees are entitled to no less than 98 days of maternity leave. Female employees can take leave during pregnancy, but they must obtain permission from the company. Zhou Xiaoyan's leave was fully approved by the company. As a result, the company has now fired Zhou Xiaoyan for no reason? Is this reasonable?"

"Zhou Xiaoyan has 98 days of vacation. What's wrong with her taking two months off before giving birth? Besides, Zhou Xiaoyan worked five days. She is protected by the national statutory holidays! She can take leave!!"

"In summary, Gu Chen's law firm must apologize and compensate for dismissing a pregnant woman!"

"Your Honor, I have concluded my statement."

Zhang Yao finished speaking.

Male netizens in the live broadcast room: “???”

Many male netizens were speechless.

There are too many fairies in the live broadcast room, and they can’t even quarrel with them.

Anyone who dares to quarrel will be accused of discriminating against pregnant women.

Gu Chen looked at what Zhang Yao said with an indifferent look on his face.

He is best at criminal cases.

But that doesn’t mean Gu Chen can’t file a civil lawsuit!
He can handle criminal cases smoothly.

What’s more, it’s a civil lawsuit like this?
Gu Chen came forward to fight this lawsuit, he was not short of the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Gu Chen just doesn't want this kind of gold digger to get pregnant right after joining the company, and then make money in the company. Will she quit after making enough salary for a year?
With so much money, Gu Chen would rather donate it all than give it to this little fairy.

Presiding Judge Shen Jiarui struck the gavel.

The presiding judge looked at Gu Chen.

"What rebuttal does the plaintiff's lawyer have?"

Gu Chen said, "Your Honor, my rebuttal is very simple."

"According to the Special Provisions on Labor Protection for Female Employees, female employees are entitled to 98 days of leave for childbirth, including days before childbirth."

"Prenatal checkups for female employees during pregnancy are also counted as working hours and are paid normally. If a female employee is pregnant normally, she can go to the hospital for prenatal checkups, and there is nothing wrong with that."

"I want to clarify this with you all here."

"My law firm is the best in the entire legal profession in terms of treatment. There is no such thing as discrimination against pregnant women."
