What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 1019: Chapter 329: The Grand Prosecution Campaign Begins!_3

“Besides, even if Director Tang makes this public, do you think people won’t look for lawyers? Just wait, the firm’s clients will flood in these days. Everyone’s panicking for no reason!”

The internet had turned into chaos, with ordinary citizens imagining rivers of blood, and lawyers and legal professionals criticizing left and right, creating a heated argument between both sides.

Meanwhile, in Jingzhou, many people who saw the trending topic were formulating plans in their minds.

In Qingshan County, Lincheng City, Pei Zhongbao’s family was having dinner.

Right at that moment, his daughter suddenly spoke up: “Dad, I remember the car we bought—it was three years ago, right? How much did the base model cost back then?”

Pei Zhongbao, an ordinary office worker, put down his chopsticks and replied: “The base model was around 180,000 yuan. Why do you ask?”

His daughter promptly handed over her phone and said: “Dad, look at this. That Lawyer Tang recently won a monopoly lawsuit and got the other party to pay compensation. Now, he’s posted the process of how to file a lawsuit online. Our car happens to meet the criteria!”

“What? File a lawsuit?” Pei Zhongbao frowned and said, “Why would we go out of our way to file a lawsuit?”

His daughter quickly explained: “It’s not about filing a lawsuit for no reason. It’s because the company we bought the car from was engaging in vertical monopolistic practices… Ugh, Dad, don’t worry about the details. The thing is, if we sue, it’s easy to get two or three thousand yuan in compensation, and we’ll definitely win!”

“What? Two or three thousand yuan?” Pei Zhongbao’s interest was piqued immediately. “Can we really get that much money? And are you sure we’ll win?”

“It’s posted by Lawyer Tang from Tengda.”

Pei Zhongbao nodded: “If Lawyer Tang says so, then it must be true. We… we should file a lawsuit too. But it’s better if we hire a lawyer, since we don’t know much about this stuff.”

“Why not go to Tengda? Lawyer Tang handled the first case, and even if the other lawyers at Tengda handle subsequent ones, we’d still trust them…”

Pei Zhongbao’s thought process mirrored that of many other ordinary people in this case.

Even though they’d already owned the car for two or three years and hadn’t felt anything wrong,

now, suddenly someone claimed they could potentially win two or three thousand yuan from suing, with almost no risk—ninety percent of people would go for it!

Even those who were unfamiliar with the law would ask legally knowledgeable friends about it—and they’d become interested too. After all, it’s practically free money!

If the person making the claim is old Tang, then nearly everyone in Jingzhou or even Handong Province wouldn’t doubt it.

Old Tang’s reputation, built up step by step over several years, was as good as gold!

President Zhang had just gotten off the plane when he received news of this “disaster” and could only endure Fu Shaofei’s endless tirades.

Ah, Tang Fangjing. Why does someone like him exist in this world?

Meanwhile, in Jingzhou, President Liu didn’t even dare return home, opting instead to turn off his phone entirely.

Dealers of Qiangsheng cars in Jingzhou were all crowding around him, blaming him for somehow provoking Tang Fangjing.

Using the words of one dealer boss: After seeing Tang Fangjing get involved, couldn’t you just have replaced the car and been done with it? Why go and offend Tengda’s director?

President Liu was truly at a loss for words. Who could’ve imagined things would escalate to this point? Who could’ve predicted that the mighty Qiangsheng Company, such a prestigious state-owned enterprise, wouldn’t even be able to handle someone like Tang Fangjing?

The dealers didn’t dare confront old Tang directly, so they vented their frustration on President Liu instead.

But no matter how they acted out, the grand lawsuit campaign had already begun!

Over the past two years, how many cars had Qiangsheng sold in Handong Province? That number was larger than many could fathom.

Even if only fifty percent of customers decided to defend their rights, it would still be an absolutely terrifying situation.

As a result, Jingzhou Intermediate Court was hit hard.

“Another huge batch of cases? Still that monopoly case? How many are there this time, over a thousand? I’m seriously done; this workload will never end!”

Within the case registration department, an employee with dark circles under their eyes voiced their frustration.

Nearby, a colleague looked completely drained of life. The Intermediate Court handled higher-end cases, but no matter how high-end they were, when the sheer number of cases reached this level, it was nauseating.

Especially because the Intermediate Court had never encountered anything like this before…

Outside, quite a few lawyers were already lining up.

Some were holding briefcases, while others carried massive bags. That was manageable, but then there were even those bringing seven or eight lawyers with piles of materials.

The word “monopoly” had almost lost its meaning due to overexposure.

Old Tang didn’t appear because this case no longer required his personal involvement.

Over at the case registration department in the Intermediate Court, though, a middle-aged man in sunglasses and a hat was nearly laughing out loud at the scene.

The man was old Zhou, who had deliberately taken leave to witness this moment, snapping photos on his phone from time to time.

“You’re snatching up my cases, huh? Haha, now you’ll learn the meaning of despair! Back then, I worked overtime so much I ended up in the hospital with heart problems; it’s only fair you experience this now!”

As he spoke, he quickly uploaded the photos he’d taken to the internet using an alternate account, adding a caption.

“This is the situation at the Intermediate Court. I suggest pressing harder, press harder!!!”

It was already midnight, and Civil Court Director Shen Jiacheng stared at the mountain of files before him in silence.

There were too many—far, far too many.

So many, in fact, that even the pre-litigation mediation department outright refused to take them. Mediation required time, and mediators were only human!

The case registration department was left with no options and began roping in reinforcements from all over, with Director Shen naturally being pulled in as well.

Sigh, he just wanted to go home. Suddenly, landmark cases didn’t seem all that exciting anymore…
