Chapter 54: Chapter 47: He Can't, I Can! (Monday votes and follow-up reading requested)_2



Leaders from the law association were personally mediating, which was already showing a lot of face to an intern lawyer like you.

Outside the office, Old Song also appeared tense. As an old hand, he naturally didn\'t want to offend the leadership of the law association. But compared to Old Wang, he understood Tang Fangjing better...

Old Tang raised his head and said to the man in front of him, "President Han, I cannot accept this condition. Why did I take on this case? It\'s simple. I think they did wrong, and when you do wrong, you must bear responsibility. That\'s one of the most basic principles of law!"

"It\'s not just some issues as you say. It\'s because of their actions that the execution couldn\'t proceed. There is a causal relationship involved..."

If you make a mistake, you own up to it; when you\'re hit, you stand straight – why can\'t lawyers be sued when they do wrong? What gives them the right?

As Tang Fangjing spoke, he didn\'t want to have a direct fallout with the law association if possible. When under someone\'s roof, one must bow their head.

However, President Han interrupted him directly.

"You young man, why can\'t you understand what\'s good for you? Enough, I don\'t want to say more to you. With this talk of mistakes, how many years have you been studying law? What do you know, are you even a lawyer? Do you have the right to take on cases independently?"

Tang Fangjing was taken aback by the pointed question. But just then, a voice said,

"President Han, he might not, but I think I do."

What now? Old Wang looked up to find Old Song, not sure when he had come in.

"Old Song, what are you doing, getting involved in this mess!" Old Wang hissed.

Without paying attention to him, Old Song looked directly at Tang Fangjing and said, "Come on, Tang, stand up. You don\'t even have proof and you\'re talking big here. Go pour some water!"

Tang Fangjing was completely taken aback by Old Song, standing up in a daze, and began pouring water instinctively.

He had no idea what Old Song was thinking. A well-known slick character was taking a stand at this moment...

And Old Song settled down comfortably in his seat.

He finally got a chance to order this young man around.

President Han from across the table had a dark expression, looking at Old Song and asked, "Song Tengfei, if I remember correctly, you\'re also a partner at Tengda, right? Is this the standpoint of your law firm, Tengda?"

Old Song waved his hand and said, "I\'ve already left the partnership. Anyway, this is the situation, President Han. Since we\'ve taken this case, we have to do it well. This is the basic integrity of a lawyer!"

After finishing his words, he took a sip of the tea handed to him by Tang Fangjing, and relaxed...

President Han looked towards Old Wang, who just tilted his head upwards as if nothing were going on.

Seeing that Old Wang had no further comment, President Han nodded and said, "Alright, I get your point. Let\'s leave it at that."

After saying that, he directly walked out the door.

The office quieted down, and Old Wang, gritting his teeth, said to Tang Fangjing, "Director Tang, Lawyer Tang, do you even realize what the deputy president of the law association represents?"

"Of course, I do. When the time comes for the internship assessment, just one word from them could ensure I fail, or delay it."

"And you still know that, huh? You\'re still an intern, can\'t you wait until after your internship to speak up? And you, Old Song, what\'s gotten into you today? Young Tang is impulsive because he\'s young; why would you act the same?"

Old Song shrugged and said, "I don\'t know either, but what\'s done is done, so there\'s no use talking about it."

Old Wang felt like he needed an immediate dose of heart relief pills on the spot.

"You both can do whatever you like, an intern lawyer and the law association locking horns. What were you thinking!"

Old Wang left as well, leaving just the two of them staring at each other.

Finally, Old Song spoke up, "What\'s with that look? Can\'t I be assertive just once?"

Tang Fangjing nodded, "No problem. But given the current situation, we really need to put in the effort now."

As each person left, Old Song touched his chest with a bewildered expression and murmured, "How did everything turn into this mess? Is it possible that after spending so much time with Old Tang, I\'m starting to lose my mind too?"

...

The Jingzhou City Lawyers\' Association was already in an uproar. If it was just about the case, then filing a lawsuit wouldn\'t be much of a big deal—it was just a matter of exerting a bit of control.

But now things were different. An intern daring to speak out like this was a direct challenge to the authority of the association!

If nothing were done about this, would any intern feel emboldened to challenge the association in the future?

The simplest course of action would be to obstruct the certification process. You want to be a lawyer? Easy, just block you during the review and interview.

As for the reason for not letting you pass... it\'s laughable. Couldn\'t those especially trained in law find a reason?

At Shengda Law Firm, Wu Jicheng said to Li Changming in front of him, "Look at that, even with President Han personally going to persuade, he dared to defiantly resist. Youngsters these days are just too audacious."

Li Changming smiled and nodded, "Indeed, an intern lawyer stirring up trouble all the time, totally unaware of his own limitations."

The jianghu isn\'t about fighting and killing; it\'s about human relations and the ways of the world. It\'s the same in any profession.

Everyone\'s gotten used to handling cases and getting paid, and suddenly you pop up claiming that the failure to execute is related to the lawyers—just imagine what the peers will say!

The legal profession in Jingzhou City doesn\'t allow for such people to exist...

"And about the case..."

"I\'ll take care of it. He\'s just an intern lawyer after all. He thinks he\'s someone important just because he\'s taken an unconventional path to rack up some credentials!" Director Wu said with disdain.

He would let the other party see what real professionalism was!

...

By the afternoon, at the Guangming District Court filing office, it was still the same old acquaintance. Looking at the young man before him and then at the dossier, he hesitated before asking, "Are you sure about this?"

"It\'s correct, comrade, I\'m indeed suing Shengda Law Firm!"

The staff at the filing office didn\'t say anything more. Cases like this were rare; although people often complained about lawyers not winning cases, actually suing a law firm was uncommon.

They are professionals; they don\'t have to pay to go to court, but on your end, you have to hire another lawyer and spend more money. If you lose, you really would be losing both the wife and the soldiers.

Filing wasn\'t an issue; the materials were all complete and there weren\'t many pieces of evidence. It looked quite straightforward on the surface.

Having managed to file, all that was left was to wait, as going through the procedures took time.

As for the rest, he felt there must be some relationship between Li Changming and that Mrs. Hou, but unfortunately, there was no evidence.

As for catching them in the act, that was even less likely. Whether it was tailing them or taking photos, those actions were illegal.

Right now, having offended the lawyers\' association, if he dared to do such things, he might as well be waiting for death, literally waiting for death...

What exactly was the situation? Puzzled, Tang Fangjing wandered around the neighborhood, and as he walked, a voice sounded, "Director Tang, what brings you here? Are you here to inspect the work?"

Old Tang looked up to see it was Old Liu; he had unwittingly wandered to the homeowner\'s committee office.

"Inspect what work? How are the preparations for the homeowners\' meeting coming along?" Tang Fangjing asked casually.

"No problem, we can hold it this weekend. The enforcement bureau just delivered the documents to us; the execution is complete, the rest couldn\'t be carried out."

Tang Fangjing hadn\'t been paying much attention, but when he took the documents and looked them over, he suddenly paused.

"Wait, there\'s a lawsuit here, and a decent amount of money was allocated to it?"

It was a loan dispute involving Mr. Hou, but the timing was too much of a coincidence, wasn\'t it?

No, logically speaking, courts would review such a lawsuit, something wasn\'t adding up...

After a moment of hesitation, Tang Fangjing decided to go look for the enforcement judge. After all, with idle time on a rainy day, what harm could it do to try? There might be something to gain.
