Chapter 140: Humans, these creatures, haha_2
Let's continue. Cases are always dry and boring, and Tang Fangjing is no sorcerer. He can only proceed step by step, searching through various situations to find the opponent's weak point.
Tang Fangjing had no response!
The fervor this issue generated was even greater than before; after all, whenever there was a rhythm online, Tang Fangjing would retort, sometimes even making bets!
Now, the other party had shown their displeasure, yet he hadn't said a word. What did that tell us? It indicated that Tang Fangjing had no confidence in this case at all!
A day passed, then two days passed, and the netizens watching Tang Fangjing's account grew more excited. See, Tang Fangjing was just a lawyer, not a sorcerer!
No matter how skilled he was, or how eloquent he could be, when faced with irrefutable evidence, there was no way he could do anything.
Litigation ultimately comes down to evidence. We often say that we must base our arguments on facts, and evidence is the foundation of facts.
Hu Jia grew increasingly excited on her side; she felt she had made the right bet and kept posting online that she was with you through it, implying there was only one meaning: Professor Chen didn't deliver on his promise, yet you go offline and berate others.
So what about now? When you yourself can't fulfill a promise, what are you going to do, retire from the internet permanently? Read new chapters at empire
At Dafeng Law Firm, Old Han seemed to come back to life. Whatever he said about eating Oreo live, that was just in his mind, and nobody knew about it.
After the outbreak of public opinion, Old Han was informed about the case details. The Jingzhou legal community is quite small, so with his role as vice president of the Jingzhou City Lawyers Association, he was highly esteemed.
Just like Hu Jia, he really didn't know how to win this case; it seemed unwinnable!
However, to be absolutely sure, Old Han purposely started discussions with well-known contract lawyers in the country to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
Inside a law firm in The Capital, one of the country's top contract lawyers, Deng Xianzhou, looked at the materials in hand and said impatiently, "Old Han, you must be scared by that Tang Fangjing now, aren't you?"
"This obvious guarantee contract, I couldn't win it even if I went. What are you afraid of? Just because Tang Fangjing is fierce in criminal law doesn't mean he is equally good in contract law."
Honestly, Deng Xianzhou truly didn't believe there was such a genius. Normal lawyers all deeply cultivate one area. Maybe they all start out broadly, but to become a top lawyer, you must choose a direction.
Because a person's energy is limited, trying to be good at everything only leads to being mediocre at everything.
Not to mention that this contract actually had no problems. Contract flaws could only affect specific aspects, like a five-year warranty would be a flaw.
But a court would only rule against a five-year period and would provide an alternative warranty period if the agreement couldn't stand, not that the whole contract would be invalidated.
No matter how you look at it, there's nothing else to find; evidence is evidence.
On the other end of the phone, Old Han's laughter could be heard, "Cough, well, I got scared last time. He thought of a way even for such a criminal case; the man really has some tricks up his sleeve."
"Got it, thanks a lot, Old Deng. Remember to let me know next time you're in Jingzhou!"
After the pleasantries, Old Han hung up the phone, feeling secure. Lawyer Deng was truly a top-notch figure in contract law in the country, an absolute expert. More importantly, he was a former civil court judge!
Indeed, the top lawyers were usually former judges or related professionals. Having connections was one aspect, but personal ability was another. You can handle thousands of cases a year, what lawyer can compare to that experience?
However, Old Han still checked with a few other friends before he was completely reassured.
This time the advantage was purely mine. Watching the online rhythm surge, Old Han directly posted a comment: "I've looked over the case, and I feel Lawyer Tang is a bit too hasty this time because the case really is unwinnable."
Who is Old Han? Deputy President of the Jingzhou City Lawyers Association, Director of Dafeng Law Firm, Senior Partner. In the Jingzhou legal world, he is a renowned figure!
As soon as he spoke, many lawyers in Jingzhou quickly echoed him.
Setting aside the issue of competing interests, even now, the peers do not regard Tang Fangjing as a flag bearer for Jingzhou lawyers.
Remember this: competitors are enemies. It's said that "scholars disdain each other", but in fact, competitors in all trades are pretty much the same; scholars just express it through writing, while it's not easy for others to express it in the same way.
What do I care how awesome you, Tang Fangjing, are? If it doesn't make me more money and instead steals my business, do you expect me to admire you?
Imagine in your line of work, a young upstart suddenly emerges, challenging everyone in the field, stealing your thunder, and your business. What would you think?
"Director Han is right. This isn't like the last case; this one really is hopeless. I even think it shouldn't have been accepted at all."
"That's right, the party also came to my firm at one point, and I told him not to think about litigation; he was certain to lose and should try to mediate. Sadly, he didn't listen."
"I really feel Lawyer Tang was a bit out of line making that promise without understanding the situation, openly claiming he could win. That's really not appropriate..."
That's how the rhythm was led. Initially, Tang Fangjing made a promise to save someone.
Then someone comes out and says, putting aside the rescue, let's talk about whether the promise should have been made in the first place.
