Hey, you can file a complaint (two in one) “`
“Hello everyone, I’m Qingqing.
It’s the morning of March 20th, just past six, and Lawyer Tang and I are already up.
We have two places on our itinerary today.”
“There’s still some matters to take care of in Qinglv County, and then we have to head back to Xiping City today.
To be honest, I feel like I’ve really gotten to know the road between Qinglv County and Xiping City during this period.”
“Now, even I feel tired, I really don’t know how Lawyer Tang keeps going…”
While doing her makeup in front of the mirror, Wang Qingqing took a short video of her daily life and casually posted it online, which was an activity she had often engaged in lately.
Yan Xueling had started a mini comic strip, “Lawyer Tang’s Daily Life,” which had now become quite popular.
Even though Tang Fangjing wasn’t at the law firm, the comic strip was still being updated due to an abundance of material.
This also gained Yan Xueling quite a bit of popularity online.
Initially, Wang Qingqing thought about speaking to Director Wang—after all, it surely wasn’t ideal for a salaried lawyer to be not working and instead spending all day on a comic strip…
But as it turned out, Old Wang took up following the comic after seeing it…
And believed that it was a very good form of publicity for the law firm, showing netizens how Tengda Law Firm operates.
After thinking for a while, Wang Qingqing decided that she too wanted to record; she was Tang Fangjing’s assistant, after all, so she definitely knew Tang Fangjing better than someone like Yan Xueling!
However, wanting to become famous is tough these days.
After posting the video, the clicks and comments were few, and most of them were just saying things like “Miss, you’re so pretty.”
But for Wang Qingqing, this was just a side activity, so it didn’t really matter to her.
By the time she was ready, it was almost eight o’clock.
She left her room to knock on the door, only to find Tang Fangjing already standing at the entrance.
“Let’s go, no dilly-dallying, let’s go have breakfast!,” Old Tang said to Wang Qingqing.
It was really troublesome; he didn’t want to take any assistant out anymore.
In Old Tang’s mind, aside from certain situations, men preferred the company of other men.
He didn’t know about others, but that’s what he believed.
Taking a female assistant out was truly troublesome.
Wang Qingqing quickly nodded her head; she had gotten ready as fast as she could…
After breakfast, they went straight to the social security office in Qinglv County, where Li Fugui was already waiting for them at the entrance.
“Lawyer Tang, you’re here!”
Seeing Tang Fangjing, Li Fugui was very pleased.
He had gotten to know Tang Fangjing’s situation through his daughter, Li Weiwei, and was surprised that such a prominent lawyer would take on such “small lawsuits.”
“Okay, let’s go and get the certificate issued.”
Such certificates were actually easy to issue, just a standard statement from the social security office stating that social security contributions had not been made—not some kind of “proof that your dad is your dad.”
However, it still took time, as is typical with grassroots work in small places.
It’s one of many reasons why many people in Lu Province like to aim for public service exams.
It’s not just about job stability.
Once you’re in that circle, you get to know more people.
People in big cities might not understand why, even when you can proceed according to official protocols, it’s necessary to pull strings…
There’s no need to explain more; anyone who has spent time in small places will have experienced this.
Without connections, things don’t get done.
Forget about official rules—if you mention rules, they’ll laugh in your face.
About two hours later, the certificate was finally issued.
“Li Fugui, you’re still working in Qinglv County, right?” Old Tang asked.
Li Fugui nodded: “Yes, I’m working odd jobs at a construction site here.”
Old Tang then said, “That’s fine.
Here’s my advice—just a suggestion.
In a while, that station head you used to work for might come to you, give you the money they docked, and beg you to settle.
I want you not to agree to this settlement.”
“` Updates are released by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
“The reason is simple: I’ve put in a lot of effort to move this case forward to this stage.
It can’t just be settled because he says so.”
“So you might want to temporarily leave Qinglv County…
Of course, this is just a suggestion, and if you think it’s not suitable, you can continue to stay here.”
Old Tang went on talking, while Li Fugui in front of him was stunned.
He was clearly aware of the attitude the station head had when he had gone to demand his money!
“No, Lawyer Tang, do you mean that station head will beg me for a settlement?
He told me before to sue wherever I wanted and not even dream about getting the money.”
Old Tang laughed at this: “You’ll see when the time comes.”
Li Fugui hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up, “Okay, Lawyer Tang, I’ll follow your advice.
I’ll leave Qinglv County after finishing these few days’ work.
Finding odd jobs is easy anyway.”
He trusted that Lawyer Tang wouldn’t deceive him; after all, there was no reason for him to do so.
He, a laborer, didn’t even have a thousand yuan on him; what would be the point of Lawyer Tang cheating him?
Once the matter was settled, Old Tang took Wang Qingqing back to Xiping City.
Inside Hanxi University of Political Science and Law, students who had attended the previous lecture were also following Tang Fangjing online.
But now, they felt that Lawyer Tang might be in trouble…
He had already lost three times in a row; no matter what, it was all losses.
Surely he couldn’t just win out of the blue.
Li Weiwei was even more at a loss.
Though she wanted to argue a few points with her classmates, she didn’t know what to say.
Han from Dafeng Law Firm had already celebrated with a couple of drinking sessions, but he stopped celebrating once he heard that Tang Fangjing had lost three times.
“Director Han, I think everyone makes mistakes.
Tang Fangjing is also human.
There’s no reason why he can’t lose three times.
Why do you think it’s impossible for him to lose three times?” someone asked him.
