What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 167 Let's Have a Duel!_3



This is also an enhancement of the level of lawyers at the law firm.

Although lawyers still make money even if they lose a case, Old Tang doesn't like it when Tengda's lawyers all become those slick old hands; clients resort to hiring lawyers to sue when they have basically reached a dead end.

It can be said that if there were any other methods, no one would choose to hire a lawyer and go to court, it's the last resort.

As for this case, Old Tang had already spotted the issues. Charging in recklessly, even if he were to take it on himself, would likely result in a loss.

The young lawyer named Meng Yongqi was somewhat afraid as he watched Tang Fangjing, whose eyes were shining brightly.

Although he had long known that there was something off about Lawyer Tang, this... seemed to be a very serious problem no matter how you looked at it.

He hesitated, mainly because he didn't think the likelihood of winning this case was very large, and what Lawyer Tang had just said was true: it was not easy to win, but what other methods did he have?

The other lawyers in the adjacent office area began to enjoy the spectacle, with someone jokingly saying, "Come on, Xiao Meng, don't be afraid, we all support you spiritually to defeat the big devil!"

Old Tang was that "big devil," making every lawyer at the firm suffer yet find pleasure in it, and then under such an atmosphere, they continuously engaged in internal competition, constantly improving their levels.

Meng Yongqi looked over at Yan Xueling, and then saw Yan, the lawyer, holding out her hand to give him a thumbs up and softly saying, "Good luck!"

So far, only Wang Qingqing at the firm knew about Miss Xiao Yan's identity as the infamous "Colorful Yan Brother."

Thus, the other lawyers at the firm regarded this woman as a true goddess, beautiful and with a good personality, plus her talent for comics; whoever married her would be a winner in life.

But what everyone didn't know was that this beautiful girl, if cut open, would be all black inside...

A girl who can choose the name "I like to be colorful," how good could her personality truly be...

Miss Xiao Yan was indeed encouraging Meng Yongqi, with no choice, as the "Daily Life of Lawyer Tang" had already updated to episode forty-five.

It was supposed to be a weekly update, but the material was getting less and less exciting, as most of the time Tang Fangjing was outside fighting lawsuits, and Miss Xiao Yan would not follow along then.

Now desperately needing material, it goes without saying that "a hearty duel" would undoubtedly support the latest story.

As for Tang Fangjing losing... that was impossible. Miss Xiao Yan had absolute confidence in this respect.

Meng Yongqi, spurred by a thumbs up and a radiant smile, suddenly said, "Alright then, let's duel, who's afraid of who!"

"But first I need to be clear, if I lose and then you take over and lose too, who would be considered the winner?"

"The arbitration court is set to hold a session this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Old Tang immediately laughed, with none of the previous aggression in his tone, simply saying, "In that case, of course, it would count as my loss, your win."

"But let's not use the arbitration court as a basis, sometimes their decisions are problematic; they don't dare to change them recklessly..."

Just like the previous case of excessive overtime pay, the arbitration court doesn't dare to break new ground in some controversial cases.

So Old Tang's point was, let's go by the first and second-instance trials instead, not to say that I am bullying you.

Meng Yongqi, hearing this, became even more resolute and said, "Then let's skip that, are you saying that I'd definitely lose the arbitration but win the lawsuit? No need, let's just go with the current situation!"

"That's up to you then, I don't mind either way, go for it, I hope you can beat me."

Having said that, Old Tang hummed a tune and left the office area, leaving Meng Yongqi thinking whether he had been a bit impulsive.

But, if he couldn't win, Tang Fangjing wouldn't likely win either; anyone taking on this case would lose.

Yet he still wanted to win, and sitting down again, he started to ponder the case, to see if he could approach it from another angle. At this moment, Meng Yongqi put in two hundred percent effort.

Time quickly reached the afternoon, and Meng Yongqi, with his bag slung over his shoulder, arrived at the Bright District Labor Arbitration Committee. This case was another labor dispute.

It was unavoidable; many people entering the workforce for the first time encounter pitfalls,

The party involved had also arrived, a 23-year-old girl named Qi Xinwen, very young, now sitting in the applicant's position with nervousness on her face.

Her dismissal was for a simple reason: serious violation of the company's rules and regulations.

Logically, such cases should start with the company's rules and regulations, because small companies rarely have such comprehensive governance.

Here, comprehensiveness does not mean that these rules need to be highly detailed, but rather that establishing company articles requires very comprehensive procedures. Only with these procedures can your articles bind people.

And even then, you must see whether these regulations are reasonable and not in contradiction to the Labor Contract Law.

If there is none of that, then it depends on the situation, whether the arbitration committee or the court makes its own judgment.

But in this case, the other side presented a lot of evidence proving that the articles had been established through legal procedures.

So there was a problem. When recruited, Qi Xinwen specifically mentioned to the recruiter that one of the reasons she was looking for this job was to avoid business travel.

Her mother was unwell and needed someone to take care of her; constant travel naturally made that impossible.

Yet, right after joining, even during the probationary period, she was asked to travel. Initially, it was just for a day or two, but later on, it became routine. Qi Xinwen found this unacceptable.

She refused to travel and was considered by the company to be noncompliant with work arrangements. They even went through the motions of arranging someone to speak with her, keeping a record, and then made the decision to terminate the labor contract.
