What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 1005 - 325 Old Tang: Dare to Bully Our Director?_2

"He probably hasn’t handled a case in nearly ten years, right? Didn’t expect him to file this lawsuit. He’s a bit obsessed with this matter."

At this moment, Old Tang spoke up: "But even if Old Wang is a bit obsessed, it’s not for that guy Liu to comment. Who does he think he is?"

Old Song also glanced at Manager Liu and said, "Exactly. Since when is it anyone else’s place to meddle in Tengda’s affairs? Just apply more pressure over there—this is already a personal vendetta!"

At that point, they exchanged glances and broke into another round of amused "hehehe" laughter.

Although Old Wang was the source of their amusement, the relationship between the two and Old Wang wasn’t ordinary in the least.

After Old Tang’s clash with the dump truck, Old Wang was the first to tirelessly care for him, and after years of working together, their relationship had long surpassed the category of mere "colleagues."

We can poke fun at Old Wang, but we absolutely won’t allow others to say anything!

The judge arrived, and since the case was straightforward, it was a solo trial.

The judge didn’t want to complicate such an insignificant matter, so he asked the parties if they were open to mediation.

Manager Liu stated flatly: "No mediation."

And so, the trial began. Old Wang proceeded with his statement.

As Old Tang listened to the complaint, it was evident that despite several years away from practical casework, Old Wang’s fundamental skills hadn’t deteriorated.

The facts and reasoning were coherent: since founding Tengda, he had always been its director, with clear evidence to back it up.

On Liu’s side, however, his argument seemed rather nonsensical.

"Tengda Law Firm is well-known across the internet now. Mention Tengda, and everyone immediately associates it with Tang Fangjing, Lawyer Tang. So it’s perfectly normal for us to make that assumption." Manager Liu said casually.

Old Wang nearly couldn’t hold back upon hearing this. Though it was indeed the perception online, saying it like this was simply cutting him deep.

With both parties’ statements concluded, the evidence presentation and cross-examination phase commenced.

Old Wang presented internal Tengda documents, including records of its founding and other relevant materials, all proving that he was the director of Tengda.

More importantly, he brought in witnesses.

The judge called the witnesses to testify, and soon Li Wanting and Wang Jing entered the courtroom.

"So, you two never made such statements, correct?"

Li Wanting nodded and said, "Yes, we can vouch for the accuracy of our testimony."

While speaking, Li Wanting couldn’t help but glance at the audience seats. Upon entering, she immediately noticed someone familiar sitting there. Taking a closer look, wasn’t that Tang Fangjing?

What’s going on here? Director Wang is handling this case, and now Director Tang is here to observe. Are the two directors about to clash?

Initially, Li Wanting wanted to firmly state, "The director of Tengda is Wang Daming," but upon seeing Tang Fangjing, she swallowed her words.

Meanwhile, Manager Liu’s team argued that both the witnesses and the plaintiff were Tengda personnel, and hence their testimonies shouldn’t be credible… essentially just spouting nonsense.

Today was all about venting frustrations, and judging by the outcome, it was working well. The guy named Wang was already on the verge of exploding with rage.

That was just the sentiment Manager Liu wanted—he felt great satisfaction.

He even imagined Old Wang as Tang Fangjing...

The witnesses exited, and the courtroom debate commenced. Manager Liu became even more brazen.

Old Wang was practically trembling with fury, and their exchange was summarized as follows:

Old Wang: "My Evidence One, Evidence Two, and Evidence Three all demonstrate that I’ve been the director of Tengda since its inception."

Manager Liu: "Tengda’s director is Tang Fangjing. That’s universally recognized."

Old Wang: "My Evidence Four proves the defendant fabricated the facts..."

Manager Liu: "The director of Tengda is Tang Fangjing. No one even knows who Wang Daming is."

After several rounds of exchanges, Old Wang slapped the table in anger.

"You’ve gone too far! I’ve tolerated you long enough! What else do you have to say?"

"Judge, look, he’s slapping the table during a court session! This proves his utter lack of professionalism. How could such an unprofessional lawyer possibly be Tengda’s director? He must be a fraud!"

Old Wang: "*&@%*!!"

The judge stifled his laughter and spoke: "Plaintiff, please control your emotions."

Old Wang took a deep breath and sat back down, his face grim to the point of being terrifying.

In the audience seating, Old Tang and Old Song were no longer laughing; instead, Old Tang had pulled out his ever-present notebook, jotting down notes.

Meanwhile, outside the courtroom, Li Wanting turned to Wang Jing and said, "Wang, guess who I just saw sitting in the audience?"

"Director Tang. He’s observing!"

"What?" Wang Jing froze upon hearing this. "Director Tang came to observe? What exactly is the relationship between the two directors?"

Li Wanting shook her head and replied, "I have no idea. But let’s not leave yet. Things are bound to get interesting in a moment."

Amidst such tension, the courtroom debate finally concluded.

"Do either of you have anything to add? Plaintiff? Defendant? Alright, I now declare the court adjourned."

With the gavel strike, the judge promptly exited.

Old Wang sat in silence, determined not to interact with the other side. He was afraid that unable to control himself, he might land on a "Tengda’s director starts fight in court" headline.

That would undoubtedly lead to people dragging Old Tang into the mess, damaging his reputation.

Yet, Manager Liu couldn’t care less. His usual approach to things was slick, and this time he’d definitely seize the chance to jab more. After all, there was a high chance he’d lose the case. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Xiao Ke, look at him. Someone’s already getting anxious, you see how red his face is? Tengda’s director Tang Fangjing is universally recognized. I don’t know why he’s so worked up!"

Old Wang couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up. Just then, from beside Manager Liu came a voice: "Oh? Universally recognized, you say? How come I’ve never heard of it?"
