What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Just don't want those guys to ruin the whole pot and turn a good lawyer's letter into waste paper.

In short, once Gude Law Firm issued the lawyer's letter, the self-media became even more active.

"Today, yes today, send out more articles and videos, we must step it up, it's such a golden opportunity!" In the self-media company's office, the boss was dancing with excitement.

It's all about the hype, as long as we don't tarnish Tang Fangjing's name, everything's fine.

And then, suddenly an employee came in and said: "Director Zheng, something's wrong!"

"What's wrong, did that law firm sue us? What's the rush, what can happen if they sue, we didn't say anything bad, just hyping it up." Director Zheng said disdainfully.

The employee shook his head and said: "No, it's Tang Fangjing, Tang Fangjing posted a status."

"Oh, Tang Fangjing posted a sta... Who? Who did you say posted? Tang Fangjing? Quick, bring me my phone!"

Director Zheng hurriedly took the phone and started searching for Old Tang's account, quickly discovering that Tang Lawyer had simply posted a sentence.

"Some self-media have nothing better to do, why not follow up on those old unresolved reports, instead of speaking nonsense online."

Just this one sentence, spoken like casual chatter, left Director Zheng stunned.

An employee said on the side: "Director Zheng, could this 'some self-media' be referring to our company?"

"Nonsense!" Director Zheng said with a dark face: "Can't I see that myself?"

"No, what's going on with Director Tang, under his usual pattern, as long as we don't defame him, mentioning his name wouldn't cause issues, so why is this..."

"Quickly, stop it, halt all the hype, Director Tang hasn't spoken for a while, he spoke up, we have to heed it!"

This is true, because when Old Tang swept through the internet before, basically all chaotic ones were sent in.

Now, those companies can still mess around online, many of them have some sense.

Money can be earned again, but Old Tang, better let him not focus on the online matters, go deal with your criminal cases, handle your 'looking back', deal with your 'unresolved reports', all are fine.

People like Director Zheng and others, because Old Tang used "some", at this moment everyone assumed it was referring to them.

As for those who were originally dissatisfied with Old Tang, naturally wouldn't go against him.

So, surprisingly, Tang Fangjing, who was quite annoyed with Jie Jianbin before, discovered that after Tang Lawyer simply posted a status, the self-media that were all about hype suddenly ignored him.

Just like before, hot searches about how some celebrity is doing, how some internet celebrity is doing, began appearing.

They are all lawyers, the difference is indeed quite large.

Looks like after the lawsuit is over, a special thank you is in order.

And Old Tang's post made many big lawyers feel at ease, who said Tang Fangjing doesn't treat his peers like people, isn't it just because you all are too useless.

Both sides are quietly preparing, and after a few days, Jie Jianbin brought the legal team to Jingzhou, where Handong Province High Court is about to hold the first pre-trial meeting.

Pre-trial meeting, this thing, sounds a bit high-end.

As the name implies, before the trial, members of the collegial panel gather both plaintiff and defendant, etc., to meet in a conference format to conduct evidence exchange, recusal applications, dispute point determinations, etc.

This system is not unique to us, many countries have similar procedures.

Germany calls it intermediate procedures, France calls it pre-trial procedures, in the United States it's called a pre-trial meeting.

Both civil and criminal trials may have this procedure.

The civil procedure stems from the 'Judicial Interpretation of Civil Procedure Law by the Supreme Court' article 224 and 225.

The main task is to confirm which facts are undisputed by both parties in a case, and which evidence is confirmed.

Then for some key evidence to be exchanged.

Some evidence is confidential, you won't receive the original document beforehand, you'll just be told there's such a thing that can prove something.

But in the pre-trial meeting, evidence can indeed be exchanged.

Then to confirm the main disputed points of the case, see if there will be additional requests, counterclaims, recusal applications, etc., all procedural issues need to be resolved.

Any case eligible for a pre-trial meeting is generally more complex and difficult.

You can't wait until the trial opens, and you make application for recusal then, wanting this and that, which would directly disrupt the proceedings.

However, although this is just a preparatory procedure, it still carries legal significance.

For instance, if undisputed facts are confirmed in the pre-trial meeting, and during the trial you raise objections, the presiding judge will order you to explain the reasons.

Regarding evidence you previously confirmed, if you raise objections again, you must explain the reasons too, and it's highly likely it won't be accepted.

Someone would definitely notice, so does a pre-trial meeting feel like a bit of a court investigation, able to confirm the evidence.

You're not wrong, this is indeed the current issue, because the rules are vague and unclear...

For Jie Jianbin, the main purpose of this pre-trial meeting is to examine Tengfei Company's technical secrets.

Previously, Old Tang's side provided more than 30 blueprints, and all these blueprints were extracted through notarization.
