What's wrong with this lawyer?!
Chapter 232: The Director of Tengda is called Wang Daming, Thank You
Jingzhou City high-speed rail station, Old Tang, carrying a briefcase, walked slowly out of the exit. When he left for Lincheng it was still the height of summer, the heat unbearable, but now it was already winter.
And at the exit, a girl with a mischievous smile was waiting, it was none other than Wang Qingqing.
"Brother Tang, you finally came back. If you hadn't returned, I might have been fired by the director. After all, nobody wants to see a lawyer's assistant who just freeloads all day long."
Seeing Old Tang, Wang Qingqing laughed joyfully in that spot. She was very happy now.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang laughed heartily and said, "Let's go, you'll come back with me. I am now a partner at Tengda, and without my agreement, Old Wang can't dismiss you."
Chatting and laughing, the two got into a vehicle and headed towards Tengda.
At that moment in Tengda Law Firm, Old Wang was busy directing the administrative staff in their work.
"Zhang Wei, didn't I ask you to make the director's portrait at the entrance bigger? What? It's already been enlarged? Make it even bigger, it's still too small. Oh, there's not enough time? Well, it will have to do for now."
Glancing at the director's portrait again near the entrance of the law firm, Old Wang pursed his lips - it was so small, who was it even for? It just wouldn't do if someone with poor eyesight didn't see it.
When Old Tang wasn't there, nothing unexpected ever happened at the law firm, but with this guy's return, it was going to be a different story. Now everyone would go call out to Director Tang, then what was Wang Daming?
So Old Wang had to come up with every possible method to prevent this from happening!
He had to subtly ensure everyone knew who the real director of Tengda was!
About ten minutes later, the door of the law firm was pushed open, and Old Tang walked in with Wang Qingqing.
With a hearty laugh, Old Wang approached and said: "Old Tang, you've finally come back. Come, come, everyone just put down whatever you're working on, let's welcome Lawyer Tang home!"
Following Old Wang's voice, the lawyers in the firm stopped their work and came over to welcome him. Now, Old Tang was truly the law firm's treasured presence!
Look at the other firms, where finding cases is a grim affair, especially for the young lawyers dressed up in suits trawling the streets for business, their plight no different from that of salespeople.
But Tengda was different. Just the walk-in cases were already exploding in number, not to mention the various appointments online. The young folks were as busy as oxen and horses...
All you could say was that people's joys and sorrows were not the same.
Upon hearing the words, Old Tang stepped forward and said, "Thank you, thank you, everyone. Seeing how happy everyone is today, how about we have a dinner gathering tonight? What do you say?"
As he spoke, Old Tang looked towards Old Wang. Old Wang, on the other hand, had already been stunned. Wang Qingqing nudged his arm, and he came to his senses, hastily saying, "No problem, no problem, the firm will foot the bill tonight, let's all get together and enjoy!"
While he said this, Old Wang's heart was bleeding. Wasn't that supposed to be my line? Old Tang, you're not the director, why are you saying these things...
However, at that time, Old Tang's voice rang out again: "Director, nothing big has happened at the firm during my extended absence, has it?"
That call to the director brought Old Wang's spirits soaring back up, and he said with a smile, "Of course, there were no issues, especially with me around, and besides, our firm's business development is doing quite well."
Old Tang, with his hands clasped behind his back, nodded and said, "Hmm, not bad, Director. I feel reassured when you handle things. I plan to rest for a while after coming back, to relax my mind."
"Well, you go on with what you were doing, don't mind me."
Watching Old Tang and Wang Qingqing enter the office, Old Wang suddenly felt that something was amiss. What did he mean by... I still trust you with work? I'm the actual director of Tengda, alright!
Inside the office, Old Tang chuckled and said, "How was I, Qingqing? Did I seem convincing?"
Wang Qingqing blinked and said, "You were spot-on. I bet my uncle won't be able to sleep tonight, haha. Alright, Director Tang, what do you need now?"
"Give me a massage first, I've been a bit tired lately."
An hour passed, and Old Tang sat down rejuvenated, ready to say what needed to be said. Wang Qingqing was truly adept at everything but law, her massage skills were exceptional!
"Okay Qingqing, let's follow up with the appointments one by one, just like we planned."
Since he was back, he also needed to take care of necessary work, such as checking in on lawyers like Zhang Wei whom he had brought into Tengda.
Wang Qingqing immediately left, and before long, Zhang Wei came in with a big grin, greeting as he entered: "Director, I am so glad you're finally back!"
Those words, if Old Wang had overheard them, would have surely caused a misunderstanding.
Old Tang smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for some time, how's work been going?"
Zhang Wei replied, "It's been going exceptionally well, Director. Now, whenever there's a mock trial in our firm's criminal defense section, I'm bound to be invited as the defense attorney!"
He was indeed proud. There was a time when he was a "jinx lawyer", turning civil cases into criminal ones, practically sending his clients to jail.
Who would have thought that now he has become a bigwig in criminal defense, and whenever there's a criminal case, they invite him for consultation.
Right, just for consultation - first, they let him act as the defense attorney in a mock trial, then the actual defense attorney goes over his strategy in reverse, fixing the holes and gaps.
It turns out some people's minds just work differently, capable of thinking of points others can't foresee. If he actually served as a defense attorney, he could easily turn a client's finite sentence into a life without parole.
But as a reference for consultation, the results were notably effective.
"Not bad, not bad, just keep doing that and never take on cases directly again."
