So it's an abandoned building project, no wonder Tang Fangjing is involved.
In his previous life, he had also seen many abandoned building projects being fought for legally, but to tell the truth, by the time the building was already abandoned, going to hang banners and the like for rights protection was not very effective...
"Yeah, it's really tough in this hot weather. What's the name of that residential area?" Tang Fangjing asked casually.
Miss Xiao Yan frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I think it's called something like Victoria Garden. I kind of remember it. It was pretty popular when it first launched. I have no idea why it became an abandoned project."
This name made Old Tang want to criticize. These days, developers are like they're possessed, constantly naming things Victoria, or Bohemia, or Norwegian Forest...
There must be so many of these Victoria Gardens all over the country...
Seeing that Tang Fangjing seemed to be searching for something on his smartphone, Miss Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Tang, you're not considering taking on a lawsuit related to an abandoned building project, are you?"
"Such lawsuits are a mess of trouble."
If it were another lawyer considering it, Miss Xiao Yan wouldn't bother to remind them.
There are abandoned building projects all over the country, and indeed there are lawyers who specialize in those kinds of lawsuits.
This isn't to say they are particularly bold; it's just that average lawyers handling lawsuits don't tend to touch the substance of the events.
You might file a lawsuit over a contract for breach of promise or sue to dissolve a housing purchase agreement because of overdue delivery and so forth – these are purely legal issues.
It means you can prove your case procedurally in court...
Not to mention whether the penalty fees can be enforced is another matter, but for a lawyer, it just means filing a lawsuit and getting paid, much like Ju Haiqing's case back then.
But Brother Tang here is different; when you look at what he's done, he usually pursues matters to the end. This makes it very easy for him to get into conflicts with the developers behind the scenes or any other interested parties.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang waved his hand and said, "What are you thinking? I'm not crazy, don't worry."
Miss Xiao Yan didn't say a word and silently walked away.
At this moment, Old Tang was considering whether he could get in touch with the owners of the abandoned building projects to see if he could trigger a task.
It's not that he's heartless, but such cases are far from being resolved in one or two court sessions, let alone enforcement. Without a task, he would be completely spent after dealing with it all.
Speaking of his previous life... wait a second, Old Tang suddenly realized a blind spot. How exactly did he die in his previous life?
If he's time-traveled, it means he's already died, but the most vivid memory now is the pain of cancer when he first crossed over. He's actually forgotten how he died.
After trying hard to recall, his head felt as if it were filled with paste. He figured that if it weren't for the Pain Shielding, he'd probably be getting a headache by now.
He had forgotten how he died in his previous life, but he clearly remembered the law he learned and the cases he worked on—it's quite a meticulous selection in terms of time travel memory retention.
Oh well, better ask the doctor during the next routine mental health check-up.
He opened his smartphone and searched for Victoria Garden in Jingzhou City again, and to his surprise, there were quite a few reports about it online.
"Huh, there's even a live broadcast? How come it hasn't been blocked?" Old Tang was shocked.
He clicked on the live broadcast, which seemed to be at the entrance of a company with quite a crowd truly including men, women, old, and young.
The banner read slogans like "Unscrupulous developer, return my hard-earned money," and from time to time, they would chant slogans.
The police were there to maintain order at the scene. They didn't try to disperse the crowd as long as it wasn't a sensitive area or blocking a road. The police's presence was just to keep order and to prevent any fights.
After all, everyone is weary of abandoned building projects. Some of the police themselves had purchased apartments in these complexes, and now when the owners come to protest for their rights, they still have to maintain order...
An elderly person was crying, "I originally bought it for my child to get married. Now my grandchild has been born and we're still renting. Having to pay both mortgage and rent, we just can't go on..."
Young people said, "Buying a house feels like acquiring a bad father. It's really a freaking pain!"
Those with some financial leeway might hold on, but for those who emptied out six pockets to buy a house, it was truly unsustainable. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NoveIꜰire.net
If you can't earn money, you just can't. A single penny can stifle a hero, let alone having to pay both mortgage and rent while still needing to cover living expenses.
As he was watching, Tang Fangjing was about to post a comment when snap, the live stream screen went dark.
Well, that's normal. It looks like it wasn't blocked before because of low traffic.
But, if the mountain won't come to Muhammad, Muhammad must go to the mountain. If the live stream is unavailable, he could still go to the site.
With no further ado, Old Tang got up to leave. However, just as he reached the door, he thought he heard someone mentioning his name.
"Could you help me tell him? Yes, that's right, Lawyer Tang Fangjing. I really have an urgent matter and need to see him!"
Old Tang turned his head to see a middle-aged man in his thirties talking with a security guard.
For Old Tang, there was no such thing as avoiding trouble. He had just finished a task, and his next one hadn't started yet, so he was feeling anxious.
Therefore, any mention of "rights protection" or "troublesome matters" made his eyes light up!
"Hey there, I'm Tang Fangjing!" Old Tang called out to the middle-aged man and waved him over.
The security guard at the door was about to mention scheduling an appointment, but Lawyer Tang had already come out himself, prompting the guard to promptly close his mouth.
