What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 862 - 277 Alright, So This Is How We Play

Chapter 862: Chapter 277 Alright, So This Is How We Play

Tian Lizhong hung up the phone, just as Tang Fangjing had guessed. As a professional “Gatekeeper Dog,” he indeed knew the law.

At least in corporate law, he was even more professional than many lawyers!

The only reason he could never pass the judicial examination was that he couldn’t practice as a lawyer.

As to why he always impersonated a company employee rather than a lawyer… That’s simple, because as a company employee, you just need a labor contract, and the boss’s approval.

Usually, no one would pursue it.

But if you pretend to be a lawyer, at a minimum, you need to have two fake certificates, otherwise, you’d be exposed in minutes.

...

Tian Liben considered himself to be very cautious; fake certificates are easy to verify, but as long as both parties keep the labor contract to themselves, there would be no problems.

He continued to argue with the people present, while on the other hand, Judge Zhang from the Intermediate Court, upon seeing the hung up call, his face was full of disbelief.

He hadn’t even told the other party why he wanted them to come when the call was disconnected.

Good lord, such audacity, Judge Zhang had been in the Intermediate Court for many years but had never seen such a brazen person.

Indeed, he had said in the morning that the other party could no longer participate in the lawsuit as an agent, but he didn’t expect that they would take the court’s notice as a reason not to come!

You want to play it like that, alright, Judge Zhang immediately reported to his superiors.

In fact, Tian Liben’s understanding wasn’t wrong, he wasn’t a participant in the lawsuit, nor did he commit any of the few behaviors obstructing justice as specified by the “Civil Procedure Law.”

But the “Supreme Court’s Judicial Interpretation on the Application of the Civil Procedure Law” contains a catch-all provision; Article 176 stipulates:

If a participant in the litigation or another person has one of the following behaviors, the People’s Court may deal with it according to the provisions of Article 113 of the Civil Procedure Law.

The third clause of this article reads: any other behavior that disturbs the order of the court or impedes the conduct of the judicial proceedings.

But obviously, Tian Liben didn’t know this; he assumed that since he had nothing to do with the case anymore, his absence would not matter.

After all, even if Lord Tian himself came, the case would result in a loss; Luo Yong didn’t even need to hire a lawyer, a default judgment from the court would suffice.

In the end, it would still be unenforceable, and the outcome would be the same.

However, he did not know that the court’s intention was to call him over, understand the situation, and then decide how to punish him based on the circumstances.

Moreover, depending on the attitude, the punishment could vary; maybe a fine of a hundred thousand could become fifty thousand for a good attitude.

However, since he was so defiant, alright, you think I can’t manage you; I really will manage you today!

Punishment requires evidence, though, and the court needs to check these things before it can carry out a penalty.

In such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, three days flashed by.

Over these three days, Luo Yong had completely relaxed, because during this period, Tang Fangjing had been calling to suggest mediation.

This was somewhat interesting; Tang Fangjing actually wanted to mediate!

Yet, the keener he was, the clearer it became that the other party truly had no way out.

Luo Yong instructed his subordinates not to hang up hastily when Tang Fangjing called, to drag it on slowly instead.

“Luo Yong, I am planning to leave; I have to go to Market Regulation for that project in Xishan District today,” Tian Liben said to Luo Yong.

Luo Yong nodded: “Alright, go ahead, that one is easier to handle; stabilize them first and wear them down slowly.”

The incident from the other day had caused quite a stir, a crowd went to Market Regulation to file complaints, and the company owner was notified by Market Regulation to negotiate today.

But in fact, the contact information provided was his, so naturally, he had to go.

Tian Liben was experienced with such situations; no matter where a store closure was orchestrated, it always involved Market Regulation, and he was accustomed to it.

The process was very familiar to him; it was just very slow in handling.

He traveled from Bright District to the Market Regulation Bureau in Xishan District, where many people defending their rights were already waiting.

The staff at the Market Regulation Bureau were also troubled and called both sides to the conference room.

People defending their rights were more about venting their emotions because anyone facing such a nuisance would not be in a good mood.

So, as mediation began, the complainers started to spew.

“You’re worse than a beast, doing such a thing, saying it’s impossible to close down and that it’s all rumors, only to run away overnight, right?”

“Damn, how can there be someone like you, why hasn’t heaven taken you away!”

Similar curses were endless.

Tian Liben did not say a word, letting himself be scolded; as a professional “Gatekeeper Dog,” he had seen too much of such scenes. A few scoldings were nothing; he had been beaten up more than a few times already.

When the emotions of the people defending their rights finally subsided a little, the Market Regulation staff began to persuade: “Alright, stop scolding, everyone obviously didn’t come here just to scold, right? Scolding won’t solve the problem.”

“We definitely need to think about how to resolve this issue, so can we let Mr. Tian have a word first?”

Someone in the crowd shouted: “How to solve it? Shouldn’t they just refund the money? We paid with real money and silver, and nothing has been done, shouldn’t it be refunded?”

The staff could only say: “Please, don’t get worked up right now; let Mr. Tian speak first.”

Finally, the crowd quieted down, and Tian Liben, looking at everyone, cleared his throat and said: “Everyone is scolding me, and I accept it; this is what I deserve, after all, in everyone’s eyes, I have deceived you all.”
