Chapter 361 142 Lawyer Zhang's cooperation is good_4
```
This is also a common problem among modern netizens. Even when their whole body goes soft, their mouths are always hard.
If someone wants to talk too much, just block them. As long as there are enough people blocking, the comments section will always be harmonious.
At Tengda Law Firm, Old Tang had just come upstairs when he saw Old Wang standing at the door, his face full of excitement.
However, it was a bit strange that Old Wang had a badge-like object hanging from his chest, which read: Director of Tengda Law Firm, Wang Daming.
"Old Tang, well done. This case was really handled beautifully. I won't say much more, I'm treating you today!"
"And then, it's just that there are more and more people in our firm now, and everyone doesn't know each other, so I had badges made for everyone."
"From now on, we'll all wear badges in the firm, so there won't be any issues."
Heaven knows, it's not been easy for Old Wang...
Old Han didn't post a word online, while the other lawyers pretended to be dead and wiped their butts, yet someone had already taken screenshots of their comments.
Because of this, Miss Xiao Yan had hardly slept recently. She found that she actually enjoyed dealing with these things, and was less interested in the law itself.
As for Zhang Wei, he had already given up. If you can't work this case, and you think someone else can, go find someone else.
Online, people had already started saying that the company is bound to lose this case, that there's no way out, the evidence is too conclusive.
In any case, these words sounded very familiar...
A few days flew by, and the case went to trial for the second time with the live streaming of the court session as usual.
The viewers' enthusiasm wasn't like the last time, but there were still many people following it. Now, people didn't care about the cross-examination anymore; they just wanted to see how the case would be judged!
People like Old Han and Deng Xianzhou naturally watched the live broadcast, mainly to verify their own thoughts.
On the company's side, the representative was still Zhang Wei. There was no choice, he was cheaper. To dismiss him and find a new legal officer would cost too much.
As for hiring another lawyer, with the case at this stage, it would be useless and a waste of money. Moreover, with this case, whether the other guarantee contracts were still valid was also in question...
The cross-examination began, and Zhang Wei spoke, "We have no objections to the authenticity or objectivity of the evidence, but we do object to its relevance."
"The clauses in these contracts may be the same, but that does not mean they are standard contracts. According to the Civil Code, the characteristics of a standard contract require prior drafting, and the existing evidence does not prove the contracts were pre-drafted..."
He could only say this now because he had brought the contract forward himself. If he questioned the authenticity or objectivity, without saying anything more, he would be fabricating evidence and his own side would be the first to go in.
Plus, even this cross-examination was obviously a stretch to anyone with clear eyes. If it wasn't pre-drafted, then how could all contracts possibly come from the same template.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
This was something that no amount of arguing could deny, exactly like the dilemma Old Tang faced initially.
Lawyer Tang started to counterattack. Last time he was suppressed by the opposition, because he needed them to produce the evidence. Now, that was no longer a problem.
"Judgment Chief, I want to counterclaim against the opposing party!" Lawyer Tang's words made Old Zhou, who was already looking a bit dark around the eyes, freeze once again!
Thinking about the court schedule that followed, Old Zhou wished he could transform the gavel in his hand into the Haotian Hammer and smash that damned person to the heavens.
Never-ending, isn't it? You really haven't finished, have you? And now a counterclaim? Why didn't you bring it up a few days ago, why insist on doing it during the trial?
Forcing down his irritation, Old Zhou stared straight at Lawyer Tang, "Lawyer Tang, what do you want to counterclaim for?" Discover stories with empire
"The plaintiff substituted standard contracts for ordinary contracts in signing with our client, thus there's a fault in contract formation."
"They should compensate our client for the corresponding costs, such as lawyer fees, transportation expenses, and other reasonable expenditures incurred for the case."
Zhang Wei's side, General Manager Liu was completely floored. Before the trial began, his side had already resigned to their fate. Anyway, the situation being as it was, if you can't win, then so be it.
But now, you're telling me that you want us to bear your expenses? That's too much; that's clearly bullying!
Netizens online were a bit overwhelmed by Lawyer Tang's words.
"Damn, Lawyer Tang is bullying people, right? Look at how wide the company representative's mouth is open; he probably didn't expect to encounter someone so outrageously ruthless."
"Nothing else to say, I initially thought this company looked like the villain, but now, Tang Fangjing is the real Big Bad Wolf here!"
This case really had many twists and turns. Initially, everyone online was saying Lawyer Tang was bound to lose, but in court, he managed to pull off some crafty maneuvers.
Now, not only might the contracts be deemed invalid, but he'd even make the company pay for their legal fees. Who is bullying whom here?
Zhang Wei pointed at Tang Fangjing opposite him, not knowing what to say, when Old Zhou finally spoke up, "Ahem, plaintiff, what do you think?"
"We think we shouldn't have to pay this. It has nothing to do with us!" General Manager Liu shouted there.
The situation was at a stalemate again. Old Zhou, feeling helpless, said, "Alright, let's adjourn for now."
Another adjournment. Zhang Wei sat there, a bit baffled by the opponent's actions. What exactly are they trying to do?
But Lawyer Tang's purpose had always been very clear—just to carry out the mission and educate the conniving friend.
