Chapter 382: Jie Jianbin's Response!
Jingzhou, Old Ju had just finished updating today's content, opened his phone to relax by watching some anime wives, only to immediately see this headline.
He blinked his eyes and quickly clicked in, as the headline was a bit too explosive!
Upon clicking, what appeared in front of him was "Recently, someone revealed that Tang Fangjing has ventured into a new commercial field, taking on an unfair competition case."
"It is said that the compensation involved in this case is extremely terrifying..."
"And the lawyer invited by the other side is a famous lawyer specializing in unfair competition, who is also a renowned professor at Politics and Law University, Professor Jie Jianbin."
Old Ju was really speechless, these days, these journalism folks are taking headlines to new extremes.
Didn't they used to talk about the UC Shock Department editors? But now, it's clear such "shock" tactics can't keep up with the times anymore.
Just look at how they're progressing in grabbing eyeballs in journalism...
Further down are some analyses of this lawsuit, with Professor Jie Jianbin having handled many classic unfair competition cases.
In contrast, Tang Fangjing had never handled such cases before.
"We all know Lawyer Tang Fangjing is also a famous lawyer, but he excels more in criminal and labor disputes. Until now, Lawyer Tang hasn't worked on commercial cases..."
The whole article seems to be written cautiously, without any bias, simply analyzing past cases handled by both of them.
Sure enough, Old Tang hadn't touched this type of case before.
And according to normal logic, in the legal industry, experience is extremely important!
Practice and theory are entirely different worlds; the most classic example is criminal law.
Being a lawyer requires passing the bar exam, but in practice, criminal law barely utilizes viewpoints from bar exam criminal law, which is quite interesting on the whole.
So it's no wonder that this article doesn't favor Old Tang.
What's the other side up to? Are they trying to take this chance to show everyone that Tang Fangjing can lose too?
This is the only answer Old Ju could think of.
Indeed, as time goes on, the article's popularity is increasing.
Because of Old Tang's fame, Jie Jianbin is also slowly gaining more exposure, appearing as Old Tang's opponent.
In our place, such "opponent showdown" atmosphere rarely happens in a case; the so-called lawyer versus lawyer showdown is actually nothing special.
Old Tang, who always talks about "having a thorough showdown," doesn't really treat courtroom debates as a so-called showdown.
"Basing facts on evidence, using law as the guideline," every word must rely on evidence. Without evidence, no one can do anything.
This time, a commercial case somehow got hyped into a "showdown between two famous lawyers."
In Tangfang City, Jie Jianbin, who had already checked into a hotel, looked at the online content with a wry smile.
Honestly, as a lawyer, he doesn't really need such exposure, because it's not beneficial to him.
Unfair competition usually involves companies, those who need to know about him will know.
Just like the bankruptcy reorganization case involving over a hundred days and millions in fees mentioned earlier, do ordinary people know their names?
Of course not, they don't aim for fan base or exposure like those celebrity lawyers, because it's not necessary.
Why did those celebrity lawyers become famous? Because their primary profession barely earns them much... the answer is just that harsh.
But within the industry, they are already quite famous—partners at the Red Circle Firm and absolute experts in bankruptcy reorganization, been in this domain for over twenty years.
Thinking of the current state of famous lawyers, Jie Jianbin felt a bit annoyed, turned to his assistant and said: "What's going on? How did the information leak out?"
The assistant, equally puzzled, replied: "It shouldn't have been leaked by our people, Director, you know, our team has been doing this for a long time, and we've always maintained good confidentiality."
Hearing this, Jie Jianbin nodded: "I agree it shouldn't have been. Let me contact Lawyer Tang."
Very soon, Jie Jianbin dialed the number.
At Tengda, Old Tang didn't care about these online antics at all; who his opponent is in this case doesn't matter.
He took on this case, on the surface, it looks like an unfair competition case involving commercial secrets, but beneath it is his old tactic, criminal prosecuted civil.
The evidence used comes from the criminal case, including Tao Zhongcheng's confession, the design company owner's confession, as well as phone calls, emails, and other information from three parties.
These evidences cannot be dealt with using normal testimonial thinking.
How do you say, negate the legality of these pieces of evidence?
The Economic Investigation, Procuratorate, and Court will all have words with you.
He isn't skilled at commercial cases, lacks experience, but he's proficient in criminal cases!
Adapting to change without change, you play your game, I'll play mine!
Just then, Wang Qingqing pushed the door open and came in: "Tang, Director Jie Jianbin from the Imperial City wants to speak with you."
Director Jie wants to speak with me?
Old Tang was somewhat puzzled, having no acquaintance with him, though after thinking for a bit he said: "Bring it over."
With the phone in hand, Old Tang said: "Director Jie? It's Tang Fangjing speaking."
