Chapter 842: Chapter 270 What is called a professional team!_3
“I’ll first try to avoid filing the case before the first trial, seek pre-litigation mediation, delay it by two months, then proceed with the normal first trial. After losing the first trial, we’ll appeal and then mediate again during the second trial, giving the impression that we are willing to return part of the money or refund it in installments.”
“Then, your lawyers will definitely tell you that if you go through normal litigation, there’s a high likelihood the money won’t be executed, but now that the other party is willing to return a part, it’s better than nothing.”
“A course package of 20,000, returning 10,000 seems fair enough, right? You might just agree to it. Then the court, adhering to the principle of seeking peace through litigation abstention, will definitely prioritize mediation when both parties are willing.”
Sun Yan was entirely dumbstruck by the talk, blinking her eyes and saying: “But… but Lawyer Tang, are they really willing to pay? Really, even half would be fine.”
Old Tang took a sip of tea and chuckled: “Listen to me, after the mediation is over, we sign the mediation agreement under the court’s supervision, and then… what if I don’t execute it? What will you do?”
“Apply for compulsory execution!” Yin Xueqing chimed in from the side.
...
Sun Yan also nodded; that seemed to be a non-issue.
“Let me ask you, if we don’t mediate and just continue with the lawsuit, wouldn’t you still need to apply for compulsory execution? Wouldn’t it still be unenforceable? Back and forth like this, even if the judge looks after you, it’ll easily take half a year.”
Sun Yan didn’t know what to say anymore, as the esteemed lawyer sitting before her unveiled a completely different legal society.
How could an ordinary person possibly have the time and money to play this game with these professionals?
“So you’re asking me what can be done, my answer is, right now, nothing can be done because you’ve already hired another lawyer, and I can’t take over. Otherwise, I’d be drowned in complaints from the Lawyers Association.”
Sun Yan was stunned: “But… but that lawyer said that if I don’t go through with the lawsuit, the legal fees I’ve paid are non-refundable, this…”
“So you go back and think carefully, leave your contact information, and get in touch anytime.”

Sun Yan walked away dejectedly, and Yin Xueqing asked again: “Lawyer Tang, isn’t it detrimental for you not to solve the problem?”
Old Tang waved his hand: “I’m not omnipotent. Can a complex case like this be solved just with a piece of advice? You think my words make the law? But I’m sure she’ll come back.”
Ah? Yin Xueqing wanted to ask more, but Old Tang had already called out: “Next one.”
There were some things Old Tang didn’t feel it was convenient to say. From what he knew in his previous life, professional teams had further tactics.
How to play? Plant an undercover agent in the rights protection group; the undercover isn’t there to tip off, but to guide the rights protection team to delay time.
When they can’t delay anymore, what do they do? The undercover will recommend a lawyer!
Seeing this, you know the game, right? The professional teams cooperate with the lawyers.
These rights protection groups usually have just a few people who actively take charge; most people actually just want to go with the flow, so with someone recommending a lawyer and speaking a few words, most people will agree to follow the crowd.
And the legal fees for such rights protection are a lot because they charge per person; a few thousand per person may not seem much, but typically there are dozens of people involved in such rights protection.
A few thousand for the first trial, a few thousand for the second, you can imagine how much can be earned.
Then… the lawyers give a kickback to the team.
Normally, for cases sourced from others, the standard kickback is around fifteen percent.
What do you call a professional team? This is what you call a professional team.
You think you’re fighting for your rights, but from start to finish, even including your rights litigation itself, it’s all just a method for others to make money.
As for the lawyers, they’ve won the lawsuit for you, right? They’ve secured a win, so if it can’t be enforced, they can’t be blamed—only the Execution Bureau can.
This is what’s called a win-win situation.
By that time, maybe two years have passed, and how many people are willing to spend so much time for that bit of money?
Just now, Old Tang noticed something fishy when that lawyer was speaking, but he couldn’t state it outright; after all, it would seem like soliciting business at such times.
This case, it piqued his interest!
What’s the fun in dealing with those who don’t understand the law? If you’re going to play, play with the professionals!
…
The Guangming District Court is overwhelmed again; Old Tang’s over a thousand cases haven’t been finished, and here he starts frantically accepting new cases for legal consultation.
Moreover, because the receiving location for online shopping can be considered the place of contract performance, they can sue at the Guangming District Court.
Even though many cases could be settled through pre-litigation mediation, it’s still too much for the court to handle.
Old Zhou visibly withered, with dark circles under his eyes, and when Old Tang saw him in court, he was bewildered.
“Old Zhou, Old Zhou, what’s happening to you? Why have you become like this? I hope it’s nothing serious?”
Old Zhou, with dark circles under his eyes, looking at the vigorous Tang Fangjing in front of him, almost wanted to curse.
You don’t know why I look like this, do you? Acting dumb!
The healthy Old Zhou looked like he was about to drop dead, while the seemingly energetic Tang Fangjing looked like he could punch out an ox. If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t beat him, Old Zhou really wanted to go punch him!
Today is a court day. Li Yili’s case is being heard today, but the other party has requested to appear online due to the high cost of appearing in person, and Guangming District Court has agreed.
This is common in similar disputes, after all, few want to travel so far for a court appearance, and even hiring a lawyer is a loss since the client has to bear the lawyer’s travel and accommodation expenses.
