Finally, Old Zhou returned and announced the reopening of the court.
"Defendant, the plaintiff has added new claims to the materials, as you have seen. Since your party does not want to extend the defense period, please now respond to these claims."
At this moment, Hua Guangxia's mind was racing, and she finally spoke up, "Um... I believe that since the other side has already paid this money, it should be considered as being paid according to this salary standard..."
"Therefore, it should not be returned now."
Old Tang remained silent; his stance had already been made clear in writing—the company was at fault for not knowing these regulations. Now it was up to the court to decide. In any case, he was taking a swing, whether there were dates on the tree or not.
Hua Guangxia made some more statements, and Old Zhou once again announced a recess, this time for a relatively longer period. The collegium left the courtroom.
After quite a wait, they returned and delivered the verdict!
