What's wrong with this lawyer?!
Chapter 236: Aren't We Women? Why Can't We Participate?
In the office of Jingzhou Women's Federation, Xiang Qionghui, who was thirty-five this year, stretched her back.
In fact, their workload here wasn't heavy, and overtime work was seldom needed because the tasks could easily be completed during regular hours.
Of course, during special periods, such as when certain hot public opinion issues arose, their workload would increase.
And now, Xiang Qionghui found herself in a bit of bother because the higher-ups suddenly wanted to organize a legal consultation event.
Truth be told, the leadership had mentioned this event some time ago, but for some reason, the date had never been set, so it was all just talk until now.
But then, these past couple of days, there was a rush to get it done; once the leadership spoke, those below naturally had to run around like headless chickens.
How to conduct the event, who to invite, what the process would be, how to promote it—all required comprehensive planning.
However, Xiang Qionghui had a fairly good idea why this event was so suddenly put together—it must have been because that Tang Fangjing had finally found the time.
Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.
But to be honest, Xiang Qionghui felt there was no problem because it wasn't easy to secure the presence of someone like Tang Fangjing.
If he weren't willing, no one else could do the job.
The press release was already written, and Xiang Qionghui quickly sent it out. For their department to be able to invite someone like Tang Fangjing to their event could surely be counted as a political achievement.
The article was posted on the department's official WeChat account. Normally, hardly anyone would read it—it's typically just shared by people from the department. That's just how the job goes.
After it was done, Xiang Qionghui didn't bother with it anymore, as it was time to clock out for the day again.
Such things like the official WeChat account had seen their peak days gone by; the number of current readers was far less than before, but there were still some who looked at it.
Across from Yuefu Residential Complex, in the Dongding Residential Complex, Dong Xiangmei, a forty-year-old housewife, was scrolling through her phone.
After sending her child to school, she would clean the house and play with her phone, reading quite a few public accounts just for the sake of entertainment.
Then, while scrolling, she stumbled upon the press release titled "Only by understanding the law can we better protect our rights," and upon closer inspection, she realized it had been issued by the Jingzhou Women's Federation.
Dong Xiangmei casually clicked on it. She usually just skimmed through, but this time she stopped short after only a glance.
"They invited a top-notch legal team led by Tang Fangjing and Han Chengli for a legal consultation?" Dong Xiangmei froze as she read the line.
While she had never met Lawyer Tang, the Dongding Residential Complex was right across from Yuefu Residential Complex, so the name Tang Fangjing was heard so frequently it was practically drummed into her ears.
Moreover, Tang had previously assisted a woman in a "husband-murder case" from the Dongding Residential Complex.
Even more importantly, despite being door-to-door neighbors, the difference in property prices between the two complexes was significant, and that difference could almost entirely be attributed to Tang Fangjing.
Putting it all together, it would be hard not to know of Tang Fangjing.
Dong Xiangmei put aside what she was doing and read the entire article thoroughly.
The article stated that the Jingzhou City Lawyers Association and the Women's Federation were going to jointly hold a legal awareness event from December 28th to January 2nd, totaling six days!
But that wasn't the key point; the key point was that Tang Fangjing would be participating!
Truth be told, Dong Xiangmei also wanted to attend this event. Her own marriage was on the brink of collapse—truthfully, if not for her child, she would have sought divorce long ago.
However, her husband was a lawyer, specializing in divorce and marital disputes!
So, she didn't even dare to bring up divorce, since her husband was the expert in that field, and she feared being trapped by him if she mentioned it.
But consulting with Lawyer Tang was a different matter; that was Tang Fangjing, universally recognized as a top-tier lawyer even online!
Yes, even those lawyers online who criticized Old Tang for breaking the rules and making it hard for young lawyers to earn a living, still acknowledged his capabilities.
Capability was obvious to everyone—not recognizing Tang Fangjing's skills would only prove one's own incompetence.
Tang Fangjing was certainly a more skilled lawyer than her husband, so the question arose: how could she participate in this legal consultation event?
There were no details on how to join the event in the press release.
After thinking it over, Dong Xiangmei shared the article in the community chat group with a note: Tang Fangjing is going to participate in this event, let's see how we can join.
The name Tang Fangjing was too eye-catching; many residents of Dongding Residential Complex started to click on the link, and after reading, many forwarded it.
They too wanted to know how they could participate in the event!
It couldn't be helped; Old Tang was always legendary in the circles, but as he was often busy with cases at Tengda, few could actually meet him in person.
Many who visited Tengda were just chancing their luck; if lucky, they'd meet Old Tang, but sometimes waiting for half a year wouldn't make a difference.
Thus, both online and offline, Old Tang remained the elusive legend.
Even for Dongding Residential Complex, a neighbor to Yuefu Residential Complex, Tang Fangjing was still a person heard of but never seen.
Before this, the only chance for a guaranteed sighting was at his lectures at Handong University of Political Science and Law, and even those might only occur once a year.
