What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Don't mention old Tang, even Director Liu is confused at this moment.

No, you're a Judge, you're in charge of mediation today, and mediation should definitely aim to reach an agreement between both parties.

But what do you mean by this, it's not even covert support, you're just openly siding here!

Is Tang Fangjing really that intimidating? If you walk the path of righteousness, who's afraid of him!

Of course, Director Liu would never say such things, work is work... getting it done decently is enough.

How much do you earn a month anyway, there's no need to risk your life, better not provoke someone like Tang Fangjing.

However, Director Liu definitely can't just let this go, today's situation is really unusual.

"Judge Song, what do you mean? Are you saying our actions are problematic? You are the Judge, the case hasn't even been tried yet and you already have a conclusion?"

Director Liu responded, certainly can't let Judge Song say whatever he wants, since it's mediation, both parties must be allowed to express their ideas properly.

I barely said a few words, the other party hasn't said anything yet, and you, as the mediator, started attacking, based on what!

Tang Fangjing is hard to deal with, but does our City Development Group really look like a pushover?

I... I won't talk to Tang Fangjing, but can't I at least argue with you?

The main thing is that Director Liu believes they have already won the first trial, and it's nearly impossible for the second trial to overturn the decision.

City Development Group's scale is evident, the Chairman usually connects with city leaders and provincial leaders, an Intermediate Court Judge really isn't significant.

Upon hearing this, Judge Song's face suddenly darkened: "What do you mean I have a result before the judgment? Come on, speak clearly!"

"I'll say it again, Lawyer Tang's videos have always been extremely objective, if you haven't done anything wrong, why worry about being criticized?"

"As for the case, it's currently in the mediation phase, if mediation fails, the trial will proceed according to the law."

"If at that time you feel my decision is unfair, you can apply for a retrial, or seek judicial supervision, no one will stop you!"

Director Liu's expression was equally unpleasant: "No, Judge Song, your words are a bit excessive, I..."

Old Tang and Su Yeping were watching from the side, just feeling that the mediation today was extremely strange.

They as the client and the agent, haven't said half a word, yet the mediator and the opposing party's agent have started arguing.

And the argument is particularly intense!

Over there, Judge Song quarreled for several sentences, only then realizing the problem.

No... why am I arguing with them, today I'm supposed to facilitate mediation.

This won't do, I should stop arguing.

"Director Liu, let's both calm down first, let me ask you again, is your condition exactly that, no way to change it?" Judge Song calmed down, spoke again.

Director Liu was still in a fit of anger, responding: "I already said it before, we won't change the demand.

Upon hearing this, Judge Song took a deep breath, feeling his heart racing, inwardly cursing City Development Group's General Gao countless times.

After staying in leadership positions for a long time, they seem to become detached from reality.

It's a common disease among some people, especially in places like state-owned enterprises, where leaders call the shots and have worked for many years, maintaining a one-man setup for a very long time.

They are figures who normally never compromise.

At this moment, a lawyer pops up causing all kinds of trouble, although the lawyer is very famous, with significant achievements, some people just won't take notice.

But he couldn't say more, hoping to mediate the case but now all these complications!

Coming in with such outrageous demands, refusing to budge at all, it shows there's no intent for mediation.

He could only look to old Tang and say: "Lawyer Tang, what are your thoughts on this?"

Old Tang quickly said: "Judge Song, I absolutely can't accept this, those bonuses rightfully belong to my client, and now their side doesn't even want to pay that, clearly showing no intent to mediate."

"So we disagree."

Judge Song felt helpless, after all this effort, it seems like only he as the Judge was interested in mediation, both sides had no intention of mediating.

Thus, Judge Song stood up and said: "Since neither side agrees, let's hold the trial!"

After working all this time, no results achieved, instead had a quarrel with City Development Group, Judge Song felt like he needed a heart pill urgently.

Director Liu said nothing, stood up with his colleagues and left.

The demands made by leadership weren't accepted by the other party, so mediation naturally failed, it's a normal situation.

After walking out of the court, Director Liu made a phone call.

"Hello, Mr. Li, right, no success, they completely disagree, Judge wants to prepare for trial."

On the phone, Li Zhongda wasn't surprised at all, knowing the result when General Gao made that demand.

Regarding leadership's intentions, he didn't know what to say, once the second trial fails, the case will still be put online.

By then, it would still be ridiculed...

Unable to understand, genuinely unable to understand.

"Alright, got it, you guys come back first, prepare for trial."

On the other side of the phone, Director Liu put his phone down, but his mind pondered, after all he's done, Lawyer Tang should be able to win, right?
