What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Some people have dedicated defense teams, responsible only for defense, unconcerned with anything else, just as there are specialized life advocacy teams.

These specifically handle communication with suspects in police custody.

They periodically or sporadically update the suspect about their family situation, such as their children's schooling, what the children have learned, or how their parents are doing with specific details to boost their spirits, ensuring they don't hastily admit guilt or accept penalties, and so on.

Of course, this service isn't cheap, so average families can forget about it.

Zhang Wei planned to report to the law firm first and then apply to the lawyer's association to restore his attorney status.

But before that, he needed to go home and tidy himself up.

An hour later, Zhang Wei arrived at the base of the Tengda building and started walking up.

It was his first visit to Tengda, and as he ascended the floors he was stopped by Zhao Bin at the entrance.

"You say you're a lawyer at Tengda? I've never seen you before!"

Zhao Bin was very diligent; he had memorized the faces of all the lawyers at the firm, so he certainly wasn't letting in some strange man claiming to be a lawyer from Tengda.

"No, I've not completed the on-boarding process yet, I was hired by Lawyer Tang." Zhang Wei quickly explained.

"Oh, hired by Lawyer Tang, huh? Okay, just wait here, I'll go call Lawyer Tang, he's in his office right now."

Zhao Bin went inside, approached Tang Fangjing's office, and after knocking said, "Lawyer Tang, there's a lawyer named Zhang Wei outside who says you hired him."

Old Tang, who seemed to be lying down daydreaming, was actually looking at some exciting material on the system panel. Upon hearing Zhao Bin, he said, "Ah, Zhang Wei is here, yeah? Okay, I'll be right out."

Old Tang got up quickly, ready to bring Zhang Wei in, but as he opened the door, he saw Old Wang about to leave.

"Hey, wait a second, Director, you're going out? There's something I want to discuss with you. I've hired a new attorney; his skill level and such we can talk about later, but he's adequate... It's just odd, I think he's not using his talents in the right place."

"It's hard to explain in a few words, so why don't you meet him when you're free? He's just outside the door."

This was what Old Tang had in mind for Zhang Wei; with such exceptional talent, why bother with civil cases? He should go straight into criminal law!

Of course, not to defend criminal cases, but to gather evidence. In Old Tang's view, this wasn't just some unique physique, it was a kind of undercover talent.

So they would cultivate him in this direction from now on.

Old Wang perked up upon hearing this, not caring about the lawyer bit, mainly because this was the first time Old Tang had hired someone himself.

If a lawyer had sparked Old Tang's interest, he must be extraordinary,

"Sure, no problem, I'm not in any rush here, so let's meet him first." Old Wang laughed.

The two headed towards the entrance together, with Old Tang calling out, "Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei, come over here!"

Zhao Bin opened the door for him, and Zhang Wei hurried in, saying to Old Tang, "Director Tang, about my time in the police force..."

"No worries, no worries, I already know about that, it doesn't affect anything." Old Tang reassured him.

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is our Tengda's... Director, what's wrong?"

Old Tang turned around only to see Old Wang pale, pointing at Zhang Wei with trembling hands.

"I'm fine, you're called what, Zhang Wei, right? Okay, I'll remember you. Well, Old Tang, I've got things to take care of, so I'll take my leave."

Old Wang made his exit in a hurry, and Old Tang, puzzled, called out, "Hey, Old Wang, wait up, didn't you just say it wasn't urgent? What's the rush now?"

As Old Wang was about to walk out the door, he stumbled upon Old Tang's words, steadied himself, and turned to say, "It suddenly became urgent, suddenly urgent..."

"When it comes to hiring, just take care of it yourself."

Old Tang was quite perplexed, "What got into him? Never mind, come sit over here, Zhang Wei, and in the meantime, let's chat about your future tasks."

Zhang Wei, baffled, asked cautiously, "Director Tang, who was that just now? He seemed... to dislike me."

"Oh, that was one of our law firm's senior partners and the director of Tengda, Wang Daming. The 'da' in Tengda is taken from his name, see?"

"Now, let me tell you what you'll need to do going forward..."

Old Tang started the explanation, while outside, Old Wang removed his name badge, his expression lost.

Did this guy not see it? It was such a big badge!

And then, those two behaved like that right in front of him, with Director Tang actually calling Old Tang as "Director Tang"!

This was akin to being cuckolded right to one's face!

It wasn't acceptable; this couldn't go on. Old Wang thought for a moment, pulled out his phone, and dialed a number, "Hello, is this the company that makes the name badges? Yes, I'd like to place a new order..."

"Yes, just one, and don't say you can't do it; I'm not short on money!"

Meanwhile, at Tengda, Old Tang had clarified things for Zhang Wei, and when Tang Fangjing mentioned his 'talent', even Zhang Wei didn't know what to say.

It must indeed be a talent... otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.

"Don't rush, take it one step at a time. Criminal law is quite interesting."

Watching Tang Fangjing enter his office, Zhang Wei was filled with puzzlement. Criminal law, interesting?

Of course criminal law was interesting. Back in his office, Old Tang glanced at the system panel tagged "Criminal Law". If civil law was a pure and demure girl, criminal law would be a cold, aloof, and aristocratic lady.

She was like an iceberg, unreachable. She was cold and cruel but also warmhearted.

She employed those cold and cruel methods to protect the warmth of this world. What are the bottom lines? Human beings?
