What's wrong with this lawyer?!

As freshmen entered the college, everyone was thinking about fleecing them in every aspect. Various carriers were advertising their SIM cards, even recruiting pretty upperclasswomen for their promotions...

They were simply beasts!

Not to mention the college itself—it was full of traps everywhere.

So Old Tang politely declined the money offered by the college, and at that time, the college officials actually thought Lawyer Tang was such a good person.

Then, during the lecture, he turned right around and spilled it all...

Leaving other things aside, just after one lecture, the faces of the college leaders had turned dark — there were so many things that simply couldn't be discussed openly.

Take the military training uniforms, for example. Some colleges were okay, but others were purely deceiving people—the quality of the uniforms was very poor, yet they were charging a lot of money for them.

Old Tang kept talking non-stop on stage, and the freshmen below listened with utmost seriousness.

Because the speaker could really talk, dared to speak, and he discussed everything in conjunction with cases, not like those previous lecturers who blabbered a bunch of this and that theory, putting the audience to sleep.

So, when the lecture ended, although some colleges gave up on inviting him, another part of them increased their invitations!

It was only because he was still young, not highly educated, and without much published work; otherwise, there would already be colleges willing to invite him as a visiting professor.

Meanwhile, on the other side within Hongtong Property Management, the boss, Li Chang'an, listened to the report from a staff member with a dumbfounded expression: "You're saying that Tang Fangjing sued the court?"

"Yes, now the leaders at the court are all stunned. How can the court be the defendant?"

Normally, everyone's first impression of a court is as the place to file a lawsuit, never having heard of the court being the one sitting across in the defendant's seat...

Li Chang'an's face contorted as if having a cramp; in his line of business, maintaining a good relationship with the related departments was essential.

So he simply couldn't understand Tang Fangjing's thinking—it seemed like something only a madman would do.

That was the court, for goodness' sake!

Just as he was mulling over it, another call came in.

"What? Our legal representative spouted nonsense? Okay, okay, hang on, I'll ask him."

After hanging up the phone, Li Chang'an said with a dark face: "Get Jiang Shubo here, yes, and call all the department heads for a meeting!"

Soon, the representatives from all departments had arrived. The HR director, Old Bai, glanced at Li Chang'an's face, which was very ugly, and everyone started to tread carefully.

Jiang Shubo was even more confused; he had no idea why he would be called to such a meeting. Although the legal department was small, it had a leader, and he was not qualified to attend such meetings.

But the first sentence from Li Chang'an made him freeze.

"The cleaning staff who arbitrated with us a while ago hired a lawyer who has now sued the court!"

What? Everyone exchanged glances, some not quite clear or not understanding—going to the court to sue someone is normal, right?

As someone explained, the realization struck—damn, suing the court? Who dares to accuse the judge?

"Jiang Shubo, what exactly did you say during the arbitration? Why did you speak out of turn when it was just an arbitration? Even if we lost, that'd be one thing, but now you're talking nonsense? Now their evidence includes the arbitration decision, do you realize that?"

Jiang Shubo stood there dumbfounded, an arbitration decision as evidence?

All he had said was that he had worked at the court for more than a dozen years, blaming the court...damn!

Jiang Shubo, new to litigation, looked bewildered, feeling like he had been set up...

In the midst of all this, seven days whisked by.

On the eighth day, with still no news from the court, Old Tang set off to inquire about the progress.

He arrived at the court's filing office, and when the staff saw his face, they quickly said, "Lawyer Tang, right? Your case from before is now at the Pre-Trial Mediation Center."

The court had not been idling during this time and had incidentally investigated, finding that Li Yong's mother had indeed worked as a cleaner in the court for many years—there was no denying it.

The key was Tang Fangjing!

Wasn't this guy recovering from an injury in Lüzhou? Who brought this troublemaker to Xiping to cause havoc!

But even if the opponent was Tang Fangjing, the case still needed mediation, otherwise if word got out, it was certain that Anchang District Court would lose face.

"It's been transferred to mediation? Then you should have let me know. Since it's already transferred, when does it start?" Old Tang casually asked.

If everything was as expected, it was one of the filing office's standard tactics.

"Soon. It's mainly that we have few mediators here, so I need you to wait a bit longer."

"No problem, I'm willing to wait, but there has to be a time limit, right? I can't wait forever, can I?" Old Tang said with a smile.

Now he wasn't worried about time, he could wait as long as it took. The procedure was set, and eventually, you'd have to provide an answer.

"If you can't give me an answer, then wait another week. If there's still no result after a week, I'll file an appeal, alright?"

After confirming with the other party, Old Tang left the court again.

Advocating for rights is like this—you can be held up by a procedure for a week over something minor, and you can't even argue because it's legal.

He had been anxious before because he was nearly at death's door; now, he was in no hurry at all, let's see if they dared to drag it out for three years.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait a week this time; on the fourth day, he received a call.

"Mediation tomorrow morning? Fine, no problem, I'm all set."

Dealing with these institutions, Old Tang had his experiences. That is, while you can do a lot within procedures, you should... never argue with them.

Why? Because it's seen as looking... you know, for trouble.
