Chapter 157 Finally Seeing the Dawn!
In Qinglv County, Wang Qingqing looked at the labor arbitration committee in front of her, and the only thing she could see in her eyes was one feeling: exhaustion.
It was true exhaustion, not necessarily physical tiredness, but mainly a mental fatigue, because there was hardly any time to rest. Every day when she opened her eyes, either she was on the road or she was fighting in court.
It was only yesterday that she had a court session in Anzhang District, where she received the labor arbitration decision, and today, she had to rush to Qinglv County, which made Wang Qingqing feel somewhat overwhelmed.
So, was this the kind of work intensity Old Tang dealt with every time he went out?
In the past, Wang Qingqing thought she understood Tang Fangjing very well, but now she realized that she still didn't understand him; she couldn't comprehend why he would push himself so hard.
You are a late-stage cancer patient!
This assignment had been personally arranged by the head director of the firm, Old Wang. Tang Fangjing's daily medication, what and how much, had to be managed by his assistant, Wang Qingqing.
The reason was quite simple: every time Tang Fangjing went out on a case, he would be so busy that he simply couldn't remember to take his medicine.
Old Wang had sent Wang Qingqing out for this reason, of course hoping that Tang Fangjing would live longer and bring more benefits to Tengda...
Such thinking is not unreasonable; after all, in this world, interests are indeed the best ties. Old Tang had long realized that Old Wang was an extremely shrewd businessman.
So, if this cancer patient was already working himself to death, she, being healthy, had no reason to be a coward...
Unaware of Wang Qingqing's thoughts, Old Tang had always been consistent in his approach to work.
The application was already printed out; indeed, the opposing party was in The Capital, but there was no need to go there for arbitration, as the dispute occurred in Qinglv County.
Inside the Qinglv County Labor Arbitration Committee, staff member Feng Laiying was sitting there when she saw an application being handed over to her.
At a glance, she noticed the applicant's name was Li Fugui. Feng Laiying casually remarked, "Why are you here again? Didn't we already make a ruling that you don't have an employment relationship with them... Who are you?"
Stay tuned with empire
However, as she spoke and looked up, she didn't see the dark-faced Li Fugui, but rather a young man with a pale complexion and a professional smile, calm and confident.
Behind him followed a girl, dressed simply, but unexpectedly attractive.
"Hello Comrade, I am Tang Fangjing from Jingzhou City's Tengda Law Firm. I am now the representative lawyer for Li Fugui, who you mentioned, and I am here to submit the application today, please review it," Old Tang said with a professional smile.
Feng Laiying frowned. She especially disliked dealing with lawyers, especially those from out of town.
Local lawyers in the county generally knew the unwritten rules here, so cooperation was smooth, but these lawyers from out of town were different, always talking about this regulation, that rule...
Don't find it strange; the grassroots level is full of people, and all kinds can be found here. This is also why some big-time lawyers from The Capital or Magic City find the small county towns disagreeable.
You talk about laws, but they don't listen. What can you do? There are legal regulations stating how many days you must receive a case filing response, and if I don't give you a response, what can you do?
You want to lodge a complaint? If you offend the court, do you still expect your case to go well?
Not every big-time lawyer can be like Old Tang, who isn't afraid of being accused of creating disturbances, able to make those direct, real-name reports to the judicial police. Old Tang is in a special situation, otherwise he would have been detained who knows how many times already.
Other big-time lawyers have to make a living too. If the locality is harsh and charges you with creating disturbances, and if it's established, your lawyer's license might get revoked.
Old Tang doesn't care; do whatever you want to me. If I admit defeat, then I lose. In my past life without the system, admitting defeat wouldn't be a problem. But in this life, now that I have the system, if I still admitted defeat, wouldn't the system be wasted?
"I'm just curious, you lawyers failed last time, why are you here again? Never-ending, your application is not established; take it back," Feng Laiying said directly.
"Ah?" Standing behind, Wang Qingqing was a bit confused. This woman looked to be in her forties, but why was she acting as if she had taken gunpowder? Making an application according to regulations hadn't offended her, had it?
Old Tang still had that smile on his face, "Not established?"
"I must remind you, perhaps you should review it again? The circumstances are a bit different this time."
"And if it's not established, then you need to give me a corresponding notification, rather than just telling me to take it back directly."
Feng Laiying directly said, "What notification, no notification, I am telling you, this case has already had a decision made, this is a repeat application, it's useless, is that clear enough?"
Old Tang nodded, "Of course, it's enough."
After speaking, he glanced at the application he had submitted, didn't take it back, and turned to leave.
Feng Laiying smirked; so what if you're a lawyer from out of town? If you don't follow the rules in the county, this is what happens.
You simply don't get cooperation. In case of some lawyers with a strong sense of justice, there might be an argument, then the matter escalates, higher authorities might intervene, and then the application is accepted.
It might sound like they have nothing better to do than to trouble people, but only the heavens know why they do it. It seems like when you come here for business, if they don't trouble you a bit, it's like they can't display their power.
Wang Qingqing watched as Tang Fangjing simply turned and left the counter, quite puzzled. Had Old Tang admitted defeat just like that?
