Chapter 905: Chapter 291 Lawyer Tang Told Me to Say This_3

“Alright, I have other matters to take care of, let’s talk later.”

The call ended, and as Liu Qiaoqiao looked at the balance on her card, then thought about Lawyer Tang’s recent words, “It’s good to hear some kind words,” she suddenly felt life was full of hope again!

She immediately began packing up; not continuing business today, she’ll go home, take her child, and treat themselves to a good meal!

For the experienced Lawyer Tang, the case was not complicated and could be handled with ease, but for Liu Qiaoqiao, it felt like a rebirth!

Two days passed, and at the Temple Street Office, Fang Jingwen’s face looked terrible.

“So, as you also know the situation now, Tang Fangjing’s route is certainly blocked, but that Liu Qiaoqiao, you can try. Go give her a sincere apology, we can increase the compensation a bit more…”

Fang Jingwen nodded. Who would have thought that she would be asked to apologize, and to someone like Liu Qiaoqiao at that!

She didn’t think she had done anything wrong, but now she had no choice…

Soon, she dialed the number and after introducing herself, she started sweet-talking.

“Ms. Liu, it was indeed our fault before, we shouldn’t have seized your belongings directly, but you should also try to understand that during the sanitation inspections, we have strict evaluations, and your business often obstructed the public way, so there was really no choice.”

“We just want to ask for your help now, compensation and such are negotiable…”

Fang Jingwen kept delivering her sweet talk, feeling hopeful as the other party never hung up!

After speaking kind words for quite some time, she finally stated her request.

“That is, to ask Lawyer Tang not to post the video, not to make arbitrary reports; the compensation is all up for discussion…”

Some may think it unrealistic to discuss such matters over the phone, but a casual search would reveal numerous instances of organizations calling to threaten the deletion of videos and such. It may not be common but certainly not rare.

Do you think they don’t know such calls might be recorded?

Of course, they do, nobody’s a fool.

It simply reflects reality.

“Ms. Liu, please say something, can we do this?” Fang Jingwen asked, parched and hoarse.

Finally, Liu Qiaoqiao spoke: “It’s not possible. Lawyer Tang said that I shouldn’t make the decision.”

“No, why isn’t it possible? You are the involved party, and Tang Fangjing is the lawyer you hired!” Fang Jingwen said.

“Because we have a contract, if I make a decision it would be a breach, requiring me to pay the original lawyer’s fee. Besides, even if you are willing to give me that money, it still wouldn’t work since Lawyer Tang has already reported you to the Discipline Inspection Commission by real name.”

This is what Lawyer Tang had told her to say if asked.

What? Fang Jingwen was stunned. Tang Fangjing had already reported them by real name?

“Since you’ve already reported me, then why have you been listening for so long!”

“Lawyer Tang said I could listen to kind words for a while longer, and I really did feel good listening just now,” Liu Qiaoqiao confessed truthfully.

Fang Jingwen: “…”

That very day, Deputy Director Fang went to buy a new phone, claiming to have accidentally shattered his old one.

And just like that, the efforts of three departments were in vain.

They could never have dreamed why the other party would act this way; surely, settling things would be more beneficial, why insist on making a real name report?

Even if the report succeeded, what then? If these people were disciplined, what then? They wouldn’t receive a single penny!

The next morning, Lawyer Tang received a call from Wang Hao.

“Lawyer Tang, you have already made a real name report against them? Why would you do that?” Wang Hao asked, very disheartened.

Lawyer Tang replied casually, “Yes, Judge Wang, Article 41 of the ‘Constitution’ stipulates that citizens have the right to criticize and make suggestions about any state organ or persons working for the state; when it comes to any state organ or persons working for the state that have conducted themselves unlawfully or neglected their duties, citizens have the right to bring complaints, accusations, or reports to the relevant state organs, but they must not fabricate facts or slander.”

“Is there any issue with that? I discovered illegal conduct and reported it. That is both my legal right and my duty. Or are you suggesting there’s an issue with the Constitution?”

Wang Hao hastily replied, “No, no, Lawyer Tang that’s not what I mean, it’s just… it’s unresolvable now, and if it goes to court we won’t be able to pass such a heavy sentence.”

Damn, dangerous. Where did Lawyer Tang learn this skill of pinning a label?

If the Judge thinks there’s a problem with the Constitution… if that were to spread, it would be a major issue.

“It’s okay, my lawsuits aren’t purely for money, so Judge Wang, let’s get to court as soon as possible.”

After hanging up, Lawyer Tang checked the time; it had been a while since his report, yet there was still no development.

Well, he couldn’t rush them; after the trial ends, if there’s still no progress, he’d just post the video!

He wasn’t doing it purposely; it’s just that the response is taking too long…
