Is replying to customers’ WeChat messages after get off work considered overtime?

It is true that we should base our actions on facts and follow the law, but the law is lagging behind.

With the development of society, the gradual popularization of the Internet, and the repeated breakthroughs in mobile communications, the working hours of most workers seem to have become 24-hour on-call.

There are dozens of people in Dade Law Firm, and no one expected that Zhou Ran would take a labor arbitration case. It would have been fine if she had just taken a labor arbitration case, but maybe Miss Zhou was just too bored!

But after her labor arbitration request was not supported, Zhou Ran filed a lawsuit and actually won the first trial!

As for labor disputes, arbitration should be carried out first. This is basic common sense.

But Zhou Ran relied on this to win more than one million in overtime pay and 2N for the client. The latter 2N can really be ignored.

Professor Zhu's student just graduated and already came up with a guiding case! It's said that their legal affairs department is a graduate of Peking University next door...

Well, that’s very good, enough for Professor Zhu to personally call Zhou Ran to praise him.

However, Dade was feeling a mixture of joy and sorrow. The joy was that Dade's lawyer had come up with a guiding case, but the sadness was that for a case worth over one million yuan, Lawyer Zhou only charged 2,500 yuan...

Moreover, after the case became public, public opinion was not one-sided. Many people criticized Zhou Ran, saying that she had set a bad precedent for society and that she was just trying to attract attention.

Well, there are all kinds of opinions.

It was not until the parties involved in the case posted a few photos and texts on a public platform that Zhou Ran cleared his name.

One was a diagnosis that the person was suffering from terminal cancer, another was a screenshot of the person replying to a client on WeChat at one or two o'clock in the morning, and then there was a comparison of the person's selfies when he graduated from university at the age of 22 and when he was fired by the company at the age of 28.

It's clear at a glance.

According to the person involved, if she had not met Lawyer Zhou, she would not have survived until today.

After all, labor arbitration sounds simple, but people just drag it out. How long can a cancer patient wait?

Zhou Ran paid the medical expenses of the person involved.

Hmm… Saintly? Didn’t the client happen to meet Zhou Ran when he came into the law firm for consultation? But before he could finish his conversation, he vomited blood and passed out. Zhou Ran called 120 and rushed him to the hospital.

The person involved hasn't woken up yet, so Zhou Ran, who went to the hospital with him, has to pay for the medical expenses.

Fortunately, the person returned the money to Zhou Ran as soon as he woke up. This made Zhou Ran want to help others. After listening to the person's six-year working life, he took the job.

In fact, Zhou Ran's victory in this lawsuit was entirely due to a novel he had read in his previous life. In the novel, the lawyer named Tang Fangjing provided ample evidence to prove that using communication tools during working hours constituted overtime.

Well, Zhou Ran’s actual lawsuit was not as fast as Tang Lu’s. The whole process took nearly half a year!

It is not easy for a party to live to win the lawsuit.

Tang Lu in the novel gained "longevity" with the help of the "system", but Zhou Ran's client was ultimately unable to defeat the disease half a year after winning the lawsuit.

When the victim's parents took her ashes back to her hometown, it was Zhou Ran who went to see them off. It was impossible for Zhou Ran to say that he was not moved when he saw the two grieving old people bowing to him in gratitude.

For a long time, Zhou Momo was particularly considerate because he knew that his mother was in a bad mood.

As time went by, Lawyer Zhou had made a name for himself. Although he didn't take on many cases, he could always help some people.

For example, criminal cases involving "self-defense" and public interest lawsuits involving pharmaceutical companies polluting the environment...

In the blink of an eye, little Zhou Momo graduated from elementary school, and a man came to his door, claiming to be his father!

After a DNA test, it was confirmed that the other party was indeed Zhou Momo's biological father. He also told the truth about what happened that year. In a sense, he and Zhou Ran were both victims.

Then? Nothing happened. His visa expired and he returned to the United States.

You know, one of the reasons Zhou Momo turned evil was because she had a father who didn't follow the right path. Hey, expecting Zhou Ran to "rekindle their past relationship" with him? Ugh!

Zhou Momo is a mama's boy. Not to mention that Zhou Ran doesn't like the other person, even if Zhou Ran likes the other person, he has to pass this test, right?

Going to the United States to "recognize the enemy as your father"? Not happening!

As for fighting for child custody, the other party has to have the nerve to do so!

Is Zhou Lu a legally illiterate person like the author who uses his lawyer's license as a lid for instant noodles?

Zhou Momo entered the junior class before finishing junior high school, and then went straight to the doctoral program at the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

A kid who grew up in Tsinghua University didn't even choose to go to Tsinghua University for college! Instead, he chose Tian Gang!

However, just like what Zhou Momo always said when he was a child, his ideal is the stars and the sea!

When Zhou Momo was twenty years old, she received a will in which He Qingyin left all her assets to her.

Why not Zhou Ran? Because Zhou Ran passed the court exam in his final year of life at age 35! Lawyer Zhou became Judge Zhou, and even traded in his flashy red Ferrari for a small, domestically made car worth two hundred thousand yuan.

She couldn't take over He Qingyin's tens of billions of yuan in assets. Public officials were not allowed to hold shares in non-listed companies.

A bargain for Zhou Momo? Not so bad.

After all, Zhou Ran gave him tens of thousands of BTC when he was eighteen, so that the rocket he built when he graduated was all at his own expense.

After obtaining all of He Qingyin's assets, Zhou Momo only had one move, which was to donate them to the research institute. Although Xia Guo has spared no effort in the research of the stars and the sea, who would complain about having too much money to spend?

So what's wrong with Zhou Momo becoming the youngest chief engineer at the age of 30? She really is both rich and capable!

Don't give it to me? Do you believe that he will change the entire private research institute tomorrow and send the space shuttle into space himself?

Don't think this is impossible. It is said that Zhou Momo has a father named Xia Yi, who is the underground king in the United States. It is said that the boss invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Space Exploration Technology Company for his son's dream of pursuing the stars and the sea, and is the second largest shareholder.

But Zhou Momo didn't recognize him and had never been abroad.

When Zhou Momo received the bad news, she was at the Mars base, preparing to video call her family, but unexpectedly, she received the bad news that her mother had passed away.

Zhou Ran's mission was completed the moment Zhou Momo became a scientist and entered the Xia Country Research Institute. What could be a more reliable way to prevent blackening than international coercion?

It was also at that time that Zhou Ran noticed something strange about this body. When he was young, he had consumed too much energy, so his body was like that of an old man before he even lived to retire.

Knowing that the sea of stars was Zhou Momo's dream, Zhou Ranyou persisted for two years. But on the day Zhou Momo stepped onto the Mars rover, she collapsed.

"Momo, thank you so much for being my child for the rest of my life. Mom is so proud of you."
