Chapter 168: The union? The union even manages this matter?
To be honest, when Meng Yongqi suggested filing a lawsuit, Qi Xinwen was quite repulsed.
She had chosen Tengda Law Firm also because of Tang Fangjing's reputation.
Of course, she knew it was impossible to find Tang Fangjing at Tengda herself, but other lawyers would do, after all, they were colleagues of Lawyer Tang.
To lose the arbitration wasn't really a big surprise to her, given that this Lawyer Meng had specifically mentioned the risks of litigation before, and those risks were indeed significant.
She had been swindled before as well, without any evidence; winning a lawsuit out of thin air was really difficult.
But, even the legal affairs person said they couldn't win this case, yet Lawyer Meng still encouraged her to sue, which kind of felt like a scam for money.
And then, they actually said they would bear the costs?
More importantly, the case was going to be taken over by that Lawyer Tang... could pies really fall from the sky?
"Lawyer Meng, are you serious?" Qi Xinwen was stunned for a while before she finally spoke.
Meng Yongqi answered, "Of course, I'm serious. Miss Qi, how about this, I'll take you to see Tang... Director Tang now; you don't believe what I say, but you'll believe him, won't you?"
However, the next thing Qi Xinwen said left Meng Yongqi completely dumbfounded.
"Ah? I can really meet Lawyer Tang? Then let's hurry; even if I lose the lawsuit, it would be worth it just to meet Lawyer Tang!"
Meng Yongqi: "..." The girls at the law firm were like that, but why do all the young clients I meet also act this way!
Twenty minutes later, at Tengda Law Firm, Old Tang flipped through "The Self-Cultivation of Mental Patients" while saying, "You're here? Take any seat."
Across from him, Meng Yongqi sat down with Qi Xinwen, who had been to Tengda before but never entered this office. She was curious about everything inside.
Particularly when she saw that Lawyer Tang was actually sitting on a massage chair, she was totally dumbfounded.
However, she was now more curious about why Lawyer Tang would help with the case and why Lawyer Meng was even willing to pay out of his own pocket!
When in doubt, one must ask; Qi Xinwen voiced her questions.
Old Tang put down the book in his hand and offered a brief explanation of the situation between himself and Meng Yongqi.
In the end, he even said, "Miss Qi, I apologize for getting into this without your consent; if you don't want to go through with the lawsuit, that's fine with us."
"We won't force you to file a lawsuit just because of this."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xinwen sitting across from him quickly said, "No no no, Lawyer Tang, let's file the lawsuit anyway, I have no problem with it."
You must be joking; how many people wish for Tang Fangjing to take their case but never get the opportunity? Now that she had finally encountered it and didn't have to spend a dime, it was like a pie falling from the sky!
Although people hate surprises, if it's the kind of surprise where pies fall from the sky, then one can only say, let more of these surprises come.
But she was equally curious, what method would Lawyer Tang use to win this lawsuit?
Given the current situation, the opponent's reasons for dismissal seemed very sufficient, while she had no evidence to present on her side.
Old Tang, however, was as nonchalant as usual and turned to Meng Yongqi, saying, "Alright, Lawyer Meng, hand me the dossier."
Meng Yongqi immediately opened his bag, took out the case file, and handed it over. He was feeling quite mixed, on one hand hoping to beat Tang Fangjing and on the other, the legal affairs person's comment was so arrogant that he really wanted to see Tang Fangjing teach them a lesson...

Sigh, with these mixed feelings, Meng Yongqi left the office.
Old Tang browsed through the arbitration decision; the other side hadn't presented any new evidence, so the case was actually difficult if you said it was hard, but easy if you said it was easy...
Across from him, Qi Xinwen watched Tang Fangjing, who was actually quite handsome, if just too pale in the face. It was said he wouldn't live much longer,
Just then, Wang Qingqing walked in with a smile and said, "Miss Qi, right? Please follow me now; we need to sign a new power of attorney contract."
Folks at the firm are one thing, but what are you, a client, staring at Director Tang for?
Hearing this, Qi Xinwen could only follow Wang Qingqing to sign the contract, while Old Tang had already tossed the dossier aside, not really needing to look at it.
Wang Qingqing soon brought over the power of attorney contract and informed Tang Fangjing that the client had left. Old Tang didn't say much; anyway, he had nothing else to do at the moment, might as well head to the court to file the case.
The Bright District Court hadn't received his affection for a while; it was time to spread the love.
Soon Old Tang began preparing the complaint; no major changes to the evidence were needed - just add the court's decision to show that the preliminary procedures were already completed.
All that work didn't take long. Afterward, checking the time and finding it not yet five o'clock, he could just make it there if he rode his electric scooter.
So, Old Tang grabbed his briefcase and left the law firm, making his way to the filing office of the Bright District Court, picked a number, and started queuing.
Before long, it was his turn, and the staff member inside took a casual look, then realized it was Tang Fangjing and suddenly got nervous.
"What's with that look? I'm here for just one case this time; look, my bag is empty!" Old Tang lifted his briefcase and rapped on it.
The staff member felt a rush of fear; how many judges did the Bright District Court have altogether? Because of you, one judge nearly died unexpectedly, three were hospitalized. What expression do you expect me to have!
