What's wrong with this lawyer?!

If there could be background music at this moment, it would really set the mood.

Imagine, with the music in the background, Old Tang slowly saying "We must adhere to criminal standards for evidence," it really feels quite exhilarating.

However, reality is a bit different from the imagined scenario.

Looking at Old Tang's serious expression, Huang Zhongyi and Cui Zhengyu widened their eyes, then...

"What are criminal standards, Huang? Do you know?"

"How could I know? I also come from a technical background. I studied chemical engineering in college, how could I understand law? Old Cui, do you know?"

Cui Zhengyu was equally puzzled and said: "I, I'm also not quite sure."

The two exchanged glances and then turned to Old Tang. Huang Zhongyi spoke: "Director Tang, what kind of standards are criminal standards?"

Cui Zhengyu echoed: "Yeah, Director Tang, specifically what are the requirements, the data range? How many characteristics?"

Old Tang: "..."

"Ahem, let me explain to you both what criminal standards are."

Only after talking for a full hour did the two get a general idea.

Indeed, there were certain communication issues between the two sides; for technical personnel like Cui Zhengyu and Huang Zhongyi, the word "standard" is quite unusual.

But the legal meaning of "standard" is yet another concept, so Old Tang expended considerable effort to explain it to them.

After the explanation, Cui Zhengyu patted his chest and said: "No problem, Director Tang. Once I compare the results, I will find a professional third-party agency to produce a report."

Huang Zhongyi, on the side, was even more excited and said: "Indeed, I knew finding Director Tang wouldn't be wrong. When it comes to sending people in, Director Tang is the most professional."

Old Tang actually wanted to tell them this was slander, but he kept quiet.

Because what he was pondering in his heart now really seemed to pertain to criminal matters...

Slowly, time passed, and the second day arrived in a blink.

Old Zhou's eye circles were already a bit dark. Handling complex and difficult cases like this was particularly troublesome as they had to review every piece of evidence. Before he knew it, he stayed up a bit late yesterday.

Just as he arrived at the office not long ago, he received the news that Tang Fangjing had arrived.

"What do you need again? I'm almost losing my mind here!"

Looking at Old Tang in front of him, Old Zhou showed no good expression and said.

He was determined not to give a good face, promising a typical case for himself, yet year after year, nothing moved and he was barely holding up.

Instead, those large-scale lawsuits were all thrown over to Guangming District Court... not calling him a fool was already quite generous.

Hearing this, Old Tang immediately laughed and said: "Old Zhou, the way you say it makes me seem like a scumbag. It's just that there hasn't been a suitable case..."

This was better left unsaid; once mentioned, Old Zhou couldn't hold his temper: "Oh, how convenient that is. Occasionally heading to Lvzhou Intermediate Court to send a guiding case, occasionally to Xihong District Court to make a typical case."

"It's just that when it reaches Guangming District Court, it's hundreds or thousands of cases at once. Really so coincidental."

After a few sarcastic remarks, Old Zhou finally felt a bit better, and then added: "What's up again? Didn't we already have the pre-court meeting yesterday?"

Old Tang placed the materials in his hand onto the desk: "Discovered a problem, the technical drawings provided by Dajin Company were different from their filed materials."

"In this regard, we need to submit a written appraisal report as evidence."

This kind of thing must be submitted before the pre-court as it serves as evidence, though it's evidence meant to challenge the other party's evidence.

Hearing this, Old Zhou took the report and flipped through it casually. It was very detailed and clearly listed out where the differences were.

After reading the report, Old Zhou immediately said: "Alright, this counts as new evidence. I will notify Dajin's representative as soon as possible."

Although the pre-court meeting was held, since the key evidence has just been exchanged, it hasn't exceeded the evidence submission deadline yet.

Old Tang bid farewell and left, and the two did not joke much further.

Old Zhou prepared to contact Jie Jianbin. Within the evidence submission deadline, if one side submits crucial evidence, the other party must be promptly notified.

This is all to facilitate the hearing because you always have to give people some prep time.

Improvisation was never meant for this kind of situation.

The report submitted by Old Tang was more than fifty pages long; forcing someone to refute this thing on the spot would be making things difficult for them.

Just when Old Zhou was about to pull out his phone, he was notified that Dajin's representative had arrived.

It wasn't that this case was only handled by Old Zhou; it's just that contacting and liaising with the representatives on both sides was his responsibility.

"What a coincidence, let him come over!" Old Zhou casually said.

Not long after, Jie Jianbin brought Mr. Qiao in a hurry to the office.

"Judge Zhou, hey hello, hello, I'm Jie Jianbin, we met yesterday..." Jie Jianbin said with a smile as he entered.

Old Zhou nodded: "Is there anything?"

Jie Jianbin quickly handed over an application form and said: "Judge Zhou, we are preparing to withdraw those technical drawings."

What? Old Zhou looked at the application form after hearing this: "Withdraw the technical drawings? Are you sure?"

Mr. Qiao on the side quickly said: "We're sure, Judge, we are sure we want to withdraw."

Old Zhou stared at Mr. Qiao in silence, then said: "Alright, I'll notify the others, you guys wait."

Under normal circumstances, after evidence is submitted, it is generally not permissible to withdraw it because once you submit evidence, the court will use it to compile the case files.
