To put it simply, once you're retired, you can't be considered a worker anymore. So if you get injured, it definitely can't be recognized as a work injury. What we have here is obviously a labor service relationship.
However, the court doesn't agree.
So, unsurprisingly, Dayi Company lost the case.
Walking out of the court, the legal affairs director dialed the boss's number.
"Hello? Mr. Chang, we lost the case... The court said there's no issue recognizing it as a work injury."
On the other end of the line, Chang Huazhi instantly exploded:
"Lost? How the hell did the court rule? How is it even possible to lose? Didn't you tell the court that Lin Youliang was hired by a foreman?"
"I did, Mr. Chang. But the court said we violated regulations by assigning this task to an unqualified individual."
"So once an accident occurred, our company had to bear responsibility for work injury insurance."
"I even showed them the contract we signed with the foreman..."
