What's wrong with this lawyer?!

The internet has become as lively as the Lunar New Year, with netizens excitedly debating this lawsuit.

Similarly, many lawyers have come forward to educate the public about the law, saying that as long as this public interest litigation is successful, everyone else can hitch a ride afterward.

This has only made netizens even more excited!

"So, does that mean, as long as the public interest litigation in Jingzhou wins, we can just take our car purchase invoices to court afterward?"

"The person above, that's exactly what the lawyers are saying. Once the facts are established, you won't need to prove them again. You'll just need to show that you bought the car during the monopoly period. Sweet, huh, bro?"

Similar comments kept popping up, as, after all, this was one of the most popular car companies in those two years.

Especially since some car models were engaging in hunger marketing back then—you couldn't buy them even if you had the money. Want to take delivery of your car? You'd need to pay extra!

And why were we talking about those two years? It's because in the past couple of years, these car companies have been fighting price wars with domestic electric vehicle companies. If they dared to continue hunger marketing, it would be disastrous.

Of course, just recently, these car companies announced an end to the price wars, which led to large-scale breaches of contract again.

Like when Su Jun argued with customers waiting for their cars, declaring that they wouldn't honor the prices before the price wars ended. So what if you paid a deposit? If you've got the guts, go sue us!

All in all, the automotive industry has been an utter mess these past two years.

In such an atmosphere, some people have subtly hinted that this kind of lawsuit could affect many 4S shops' businesses, leading to many employees losing their jobs and so on...

But this time, such statements had little effect.

Some people barely started talking, only to be immediately slammed by a storm of netizens.

Though they say the internet has no memory and netizens' memories are like that of a goldfish, it's barely been a moment since those dealers pulled that stunt, and now you're at it again?

Do you take people for fools? Even the dumbest of folks would catch on at this point.

Talking about being single moms or whatever, after Lawyer Tang said they'd assist them in protecting their rights, they didn't even dare show up. Two of them even directly deactivated their accounts.

As a result, Tengda even issued an announcement, saying that after several days, not a single so-called struggling employee had contacted Tengda. Even when Tengda proactively reached out, there was no response.

On one hand, they're crying, "Oh no, we can't survive without wages." On the other, when people offer to protect their rights or even cover their wages, they're nowhere to be found.

Isn't this exactly "thirty taels of silver buried here"?

And now you're at it again? You really think everyone's brainless?

Amid the hubbub, someone suddenly brought up the Handong Province Consumer Association.

"I've been reading for ages, yet there's no sign of the Handong Provincial Consumer Association. I'm really curious—aren't car buyers also consumers? So how come the Consumer Association hasn't made a peep?"

"What's the point of having them?"

This netizen's comment quickly drew in more spectators. Indeed, in the past, Lawyer Tang's public interest litigations often collaborated with the Consumer Association.

But this time, even though it's in Handong, he didn't approach the Handong Provincial Consumer Association. Instead, he teamed up with the Jingzhou City Procuratorate.

So, netizens started tagging accounts all over the place.

"The phrase 'moving grass reveals a fox' comes to mind." @Handong Provincial Consumer Association, are you still alive? If so, make a sound—whose interests are you representing exactly?

"Prison Break's Andy": Yeah, I'm curious too. Consumer Association—aren't you supposed to represent the interests of consumers at large? So why are you completely invisible on this matter?

"So Many People Like Planes": What's the use of such an association? Why not just abolish it?

Amid all this uproar, the Handong Provincial Consumer Association was suddenly thrust into the spotlight.

In Jingzhou City, at the Handong Provincial Consumer Association's office, Old Fang stared at the online buzz, his face alternating between red and green, yet he had no idea how to explain himself.

Was it because the opponent this time was too formidable, and the Handong Provincial Consumer Association dared not engage?

Or was it because they had to follow orders from above and thus didn't dare get involved?

What a joke. If that were the case, netizens would demand to know the name of that leader, because some things are better discussed behind closed doors. Once placed out in the open, it's a massive scandal.

Just like those live-streamed DUI checks from before. Although they knew, and we knew, that if certain people were caught, one phone call would make it all go away.

But still, you can't do that in a live stream—it's wrong to do it publicly.

Which is why... those live-streamed DUI shows are gone now. Many places have stopped broadcasting them.

Old Fang sighed. Being in the same region as Tang Fangjing meant taking public heat was just part of the routine.

Day after day passed, with the Jingzhou Intermediate Court working overtime to the bone. Luckily, the case was finally ready to go to trial.

The first to secure a trial date was Luofeng Company, handled by President Pan.

Old Tang posted the trial date on his account and tagged the long-absent Court Trial Live-Streaming Network.

"April 20th, 9 a.m., Jingzhou Intermediate Court. Don't miss it, everyone! @Court Trial Live-Streaming Network."

Subsequently, the Court Trial Live-Streaming Network also responded.

"At that time, little Court will live-stream this trial for everyone. Hope you all tune in!"

Upon hearing this news, netizens were finally relieved and overjoyed. They had been waiting so long that some even went to the Jingzhou Intermediate Court's official account to urge them.
