What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Huang Zhongyi nodded: "Director Tang, we had discussed this before, it's all up to you to decide."

The online debate continued, with Dajin issuing several announcements, all expressing their grievances.

They paid other companies to design production lines and bought technology, improved it themselves, and now they're being sued.

It's unjust, so unjust!

Adding fuel to the fire, there were claims about regional protectionism in Handong Province circulating online.

Of course, even in such an atmosphere, no one dared to attack old Tang.

Old Tang didn't pay attention to these matters online; he received a call today that the Supreme Court was preparing to hold a pre-trial conference.

Finally, he could go to the Supreme Court!

No question about it, after booking the ticket, old Tang headed straight for the capital, and this time Cui Zhengyu accompanied him.

This chief engineer, not very high in emotional intelligence, is indeed a technical expert, so old Tang had to bring him along.

In the capital, at the Supreme Court, seeing the familiar gate, old Tang felt a bit nostalgic.

This place, in his previous life, he came often, but ever since crossing over, he hadn't been here once to survive.

Feeling the increasingly vivid memories in his mind, old Tang once again affirmed that his past life was definitely real, he did indeed come from across time!

Cui Zhengyu beside him didn't say anything, though he didn't know why Director Tang was in a daze at the Supreme Court entrance, he wouldn't ask.

"Let's go, old Cui, watch me pull off something big this time!"

"What big thing? It's not appropriate to say that here... Ahem, Director Tang, I'm following you."

Then, with a bewildered expression on Cui Zhengyu's face, Director Tang, as if at home, led him smoothly inside.

There was no need to ask for directions; before long, they reached the place directly.

Is there anything special about the Supreme Court's pre-trial conference? The answer is, it's pretty much the same.

Jie Jianbin had already arrived, still accompanied by General Manager Qiao, arranging materials in the conference room.

Seeing old Tang enter, he just nodded; the two are opponents now.

Nevertheless, Supreme Court Judge Cao Xianping looked at old Tang with curiosity, for in recent years, this Tang Fangjing lawyer had been the most high-profile domestically.

But previously, he had only known about him through other means; this was the first face-to-face meeting.

So when he saw old Tang enter, Cao Xianping said: "This must be Lawyer Tang Fangjing, long admired, Lawyer Tang."

After all, it's just a pre-trial conference, so it's slightly less formal.

Hearing this, old Tang smiled and said: "Not really a big name, nowadays I'm probably infamous."

This wasn't nonsense, in many places, the name Tang Fangjing was like a plague, something that shouldn't even be mentioned.

Cao Xianping smiled and didn't reply, indeed, as rumored, Tang Fangjing had an extremely aggressive nature!

The main purpose of this Supreme Court pre-trial conference was also to clarify the disputes between the parties and determine the content both sides agreed on.

Old Tang's side had two main issues.

"First, after our side had already initiated invention patent dispute litigation, Dajin Company continuously expanded its production scale!"

"Moreover, during the original invention patent dispute, they frequently resisted the court's investigation, so their subjective malice is enormous, and the circumstances are extremely serious, high punitive damages must be applied!"

"Therefore, the one billion compensation granted in the first instance was far from sufficient to punish Dajin Company."

"Second, the first instance did not support the demand for removing the confidential production facilities on the grounds of saving social resources and safe production."

"But this would lead to another consequence, where the other party could continue producing and selling the product post-litigation to make a profit. Conversely, if we want to defend our rights, we have to sue again."

"So a judgment must be made for the other party to dismantle the confidential production facilities. This is the best choice for saving judicial resources."

It's a pre-trial conference, not a time for debate, so old Tang simply reiterated his stance.

Meanwhile, Jie Jianbin's side believed that the first-instance court's application of the law was problematic and that the case had exceeded the statute of limitations.

All technologies were self-developed by Dajin Company and had nothing to do with Tengfei Company.

The disputes between the two sides remained significant.

After the pre-trial conference, old Tang stayed in the capital, taking the opportunity to wander around.

Before coming, he thought he'd be thrilled once he arrived, but it turned out to be nothing special, quite dull.

He still found more excitement in his criminal cases.

Old Tang started wandering around the capital, while Jie Jianbin encountered trouble; Lu Weiyi wanted to replace his agent.

"No way, General Manager Qiao, what does your General Manager Lu mean, it's already this point, the pre-trial conference has been held once, and now you want to replace someone?"

Jie Jianbin really couldn't understand, changing generals on the battlefield last minute is one of the biggest taboos!

It's not an exaggeration to say that changing someone now, just before the trial, they might not even grasp the case completely.

Hearing this, General Manager Qiao helplessly replied: "Director Jie, I really have no choice, I don't know what General Manager Lu is thinking either."

"The management won't explain it to me, you just need to follow the contractual agreement regarding your lawyer fees, rest assured about that."

Hearing this, Jie Jianbin sighed: "Alright then, who have you found, Old Zhang from Xinda? Old Liu from Hengdu? Or who? I need to sort out the handover."

The people he mentioned were the best at handling improper competition cases at other Red Circle Firms.

Unexpectedly, General Manager Qiao awkwardly said: "It's not them, it's Jiang Fuzhi from the big law firm in the capital…"

Hearing the name of that firm, Jie Jianbin was stunned on the spot: "No way, your General Manager Lu has to be joking, seeking him for this kind of case?"
