Chapter 969 -313 At Work, Call Me by My Title!_2
“Lawyer Tang once mentioned he likes the corn I grew, so after I harvested it this time, I brought some over immediately.”
Old Tang was a bit baffled, but still invited the elderly man to rest at the law office and promptly contacted his family.
Only after the family arrived did they learn that the old man had developed “Alzheimer’s disease” and was no longer clear-headed, barely remembering even his relatives.
He used to farm with his wife back in his hometown. Just yesterday, he suddenly disappeared; no one knew where he went, thinking he might be lost. Unexpectedly, he made it to the city by himself, carrying a big bag, and even managed to find Old Tang’s law office accurately.
Eventually, Old Tang remembered that two years ago, he happened to take on an execution case.
It was this very elderly man who lent money to a relative, nearly giving away all of his savings.
The relative wouldn’t repay the loan, and after suing for the money and winning the case in both first and second instance, they found it impossible to enforce the judgment.
By the time the case reached Old Tang, it had already reached a final verdict, meaning that practically, the case was sentenced to death, with no chance of revival.
Old Tang, who was a lawyer desperate for money in his past life, didn’t know what got into him, but went straight to the Execution Bureau, a lawyer of his level having especially good relationships with the local courts.
Don’t ask why; it’s because they are all close friends.
With just a word from the leaders, the judges from the Execution Bureau tried their best, and Old Tang also activated his connections to help out, eventually recovering most of the loaned money.
The elderly man had been so distressed by the loan that he was about to jump off a building, with his children not understanding and always bringing up the matter. But then Old Tang managed to resolve it for him.
Thus, the old man thought of expressing his gratitude to Old Tang, who didn’t expect any money in return and merely mentioned offhandedly that he liked eating corn.
Unexpectedly, the elderly man remembered it all along, even though he suffered from dementia and could barely recognize his own relatives, he still remembered Old Tang and this law office.

This incident had a profound effect on Old Tang.
He never imagined that a casual act of help, a casual remark, could be so deeply etched in the old man’s memory that not even the disease could erase it.
There’s a line in the movie “The Twenty-Second Article” that says, “We judge other people’s lives,” and the same is nearly true for lawyers.
Not just prosecutors and judges, but lawyers who have practiced for a long time will also become desensitized to the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness of their cases, which all become cold text on the case files.
The ‘daily work’ mentioned by lawyers could very well represent those people’s entire lives.
Like unfinished buildings, lending money, guarantees…
After crossing over, through the series of tasks he undertook, Old Tang has become more deeply attuned to these feelings, realizing that if he didn’t put in effort after getting involved and just went through the motions, the other party’s life could fall into an abyss.
Previously on his own, he wasn’t able to influence anyone.
But now, Old Tang believes that with all the cases provided by the law firm, under the good benefits of the firm, the least its lawyers should do is to work wholeheartedly!
Tang Fangjing worked with hundred percent dedication, not expecting you to do the same, but you should at least move from your original twenty percent to fifty percent, or even higher.
If you can’t do that, I’m sorry, you are not the person Tengda needs.
With these thoughts in mind, Old Tang had already started the Q&A session.
“Wang Jing, isn’t it? In your self-introduction, you said you were…”
In the following time, the ten people in the meeting room truly witnessed what a master was.
All ten of them, even though each only had a minute to introduce themselves, packed a large amount of information into that time, and some stuttered so much during their speech that they didn’t even know what they’d said afterwards.
But, unexpectedly, Lawyer Tang remembered each person’s introduction clearly!
Furthermore, the questions he asked were all pertinent to their introductions!
“So, is this your answer? Promoting enforcement through criminal measures?” Old Tang asked gravely, looking straight at one of the interviewees.
The interviewee nodded and said, “That’s right.”
“Have you considered that such criminal measures cannot be prosecuted, and also, in your self-introduction, you mentioned regulations regarding corporate law. This issue could’ve been addressed with the new Corporate Law; why try to use criminal methods that do not correlate at all?” Old Tang stared intently at the other person.
“Was your legal knowledge taught by a math teacher? I like resolving civil issues with criminal methods, so you just bluntly put it together?”
Wang Jing didn’t dare to utter a word, as the stern Tang Fangjing before her was completely different from the one who had entered the room earlier.
Actually, when answering questions, she too had considered using criminal methods to resolve civil matters.
Nowadays, everyone knows that Tang Fangjing prefers to operate that way, so suggesting this approach during the answer might curry favor.
But…the issue presented couldn’t be dealt with by criminal law at all, so she had no choice but to rack her brains and tackle it from a civil perspective.
To her surprise, she managed to dodge a bullet!
Old Tang had already started ‘firing,’ and the interviewee being questioned couldn’t say a word in response because Old Tang’s comments were targeted.
After Old Tang finished his tirade, the interviewee was left with a vacant expression, as if contemplating whether they were really cut out for studying law.
And so, the questions came one by one, the debates unfolding one by one. Although it seemed troublesome, Old Tang managed to question two or three people at the same time.
They could answer together, but Old Tang was capable of engaging in a debate with one while listening to another’s answers…
