What's wrong with this lawyer?!

However, before Old Tang could finish his words, another leader sitting beside him suddenly spoke up, "Lawyer Tang, it seems that you were the one who approached us about this public interest litigation."

"Logically, we should be the ones in charge, and you are just the lawyer we hired. How the case is handled should be decided by us, shouldn't it?"

"Whether a case accepts mediation or not, according to the rules, a lawyer can only make suggestions, right? If you write this into the contract, then we can't accept it..."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Liu laughed and said, "Lawyer Tang, this is our Vice-Chairman Luo..."

However, before Chairman Liu could finish speaking, Old Tang directly interrupted him.

"Well, if you can't accept it, let's just forget it; I'm leaving." After saying that, Old Tang picked up the contract on the table and turned to leave without a hint of hesitation.

Without you guys from the consumer association, do you think I, Tang Fangjing, have to eat pork with hair on it?

No matter in my past life or this one, even though the server shutdown incident has already caused numerous public opinions, the consumer association has never stepped forward to conduct a public interest litigation, and there are reasons for that.

They have too many concerns.

I can understand that, but understanding aside, Old Tang definitely won't cooperate. After all, the consumer association, unlike the natural persons he had dealt with before, will definitely not listen if they say they won't listen.

Without a contract, a lawyer alone has no power to stop others from mediating.

So, it's straight to no cooperation then.

No, Chairman Liu, who was still holding onto protocol, was taken aback by what he had just witnessed.

"Lawyer Tang, Lawyer Tang, wait a moment, aren't we discussing a contract here? What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing this, Old Tang turned around and said, "What's gotten into me? Nothing's wrong with me. If we can't agree on the contract, isn't it okay to not cooperate? That's it, I'm leaving."

"Lawyer Tang, where have I offended you?" Vice-Chairman Luo said very incredulously.

"Haven't you two understood yet? You feel that you can't accept it, so I think you're not suitable partners for cooperation. Is there a problem with that? Isn't it okay for me not to cooperate? That's all, I'm off."

Watching Tang Fangjing depart without giving them face, the two leaders' expressions darkened instantly.

"People say Tang Fangjing is a bit crazy, and I didn't believe it, but now it seems there really is a problem. Go ahead, the Supreme People's Procuratorate has already issued documents long ago stating that the consumer association is both the primary and the only legal organization for consumer public interest litigation. If we don't get involved, let's see what you can do!"

Upon hearing this, Old Tang stopped in his tracks, turned to look at the two men, and laughed.

"You're right. If I can't engage in public interest litigation, then I'll just have to set the internet ablaze!"

After saying that, Old Tang didn't say another word and left the office directly. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Chairman Liu and Vice-Chairman Luo looked at each other, bewildered. What does 'set the internet ablaze' mean? What on earth is this madman planning to do?

Outside, Old Tang casually tore up the contract and tossed it into a nearby trash can; he felt his blood boiling!

Since his transmigration, he actually disliked compromise, but this time he had no choice. Public interest litigation was the simplest and most straightforward solution.

So he had to entice them with a promise, which also wasn't really a promise, for if this case was successful, the impact would be astoundingly significant; it might even advance the relevant legislative work!

This is what the top legal bigwigs do.

Many people think that lawyers who can pull off various stunning maneuvers and win lawsuits are the bigwigs of the industry; this understanding is utterly wrong.

The real bigwigs don't even bother with cases; have you heard of terms like 'expert testimonial' or 'court's expert advisory committee'? Bigwigs just need to give their opinions.

At a higher level, bigwigs will directly participate in legislative work, starting from the root to get things done, which is far more superior than just referencing the law to fight lawsuits.

Yet, due to hesitations over the contract, for Old Tang, any hesitation means they can't cooperate.

If the consumer association doesn't act, then he, Tang Fangjing, will fight with all his might. It's just a joint lawsuit, just like last time in Dongshan County, engaging in representative litigation!

Find a few whales to act as representatives, and the other parties only need to register. Although logically, this registration should also cost money.

But Old Tang plans to bend the rules a bit. If it comes to it, let the Jingzhou Lawyers Association give him a penalty.

In this life, now that he has the system, apart from longevity, he seeks only to live heartily and will never compromise... Let's go completely crazy!

It's just this one life after all.

Soon, Old Tang returned to the hotel and called Old Wang.

In Tengda's office, Old Wang was chatting with Old Song while waiting for Old Tang's outcome.

Old Song said with emotion, "When Old Tang first joined the firm, the second case he brought to me was a public interest litigation. It feels as if it happened just yesterday."

"Didn't expect it to turn into such a big deal this time. If this case really gets established, the impact will be enormous."

Old Wang laughed and said, "That's why we have to be his support. Who knows what kind of pressure might come our way. We also need to give Old Cheng a heads up in advance."

While they were speaking, the phone rang. Old Wang looked at it and said, "The call's coming in, probably got everything settled."

Quickly, the call connected, and Old Wang asked with a smile, "All settled, right?"

Old Tang's voice came through the phone very clearly, "All settled, the consumer association doesn't want to get involved, I'm planning to do it myself!"

Hmm... Huh?

Upon hearing this, Old Wang was suddenly stunned. Can you really say that's settled?

Looking at Old Song, the only thought in both their minds was that the person on the other end, Tang Fangjing, seemed to have gone mad again...
