What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Soon a few burly security guards stepped forward, some seized Old Tang's arms, others hugged his shoulders, and they prepared to forcefully "escort" him out.

"Do you really think real estate companies are pushovers? What if he's a lawyer? We've dealt with lawyers before."

However, at that moment, Old Tang spoke up, "Hey you, yeah you, don't pull on me, first take a look at this. I am clearly informing you now that I am in the late stages of cancer; if there is a violent conflict, I might just die here."

The security guard was stunned because the young lawyer had indeed produced a diagnosis proof, which was very recent, having been done not long before.

"By the way, I'm currently recording this with my phone. Now that I've informed you that I have a terminal illness and could easily die here, if you still continue with physical confrontation, and I die, then you would all be considered guilty of intentional homicide," Old Tang added.

"How much do we get paid as security guards to risk our lives?"

As these words fell, the security guards stopped in their tracks. Since everyone was working for a real estate company, taking the fall for something was a small issue.

But the fall one takes should be proportionate to the income. Although they did not know whether the lawyer was bluffing, it seemed somewhat logical; at least, the money they were earning certainly wasn't enough to take the blame for intentional homicide.

Of course, Old Tang wasn't lying. In his previous life, there were many similar cases where people were unaware of the other party's illness, and rashly engaged in a conflict that led to death. In such cases, the defense used was that they had not anticipated that their actions could lead to death.

This defense was generally accepted by the courts.

So now, turning the tables, I've told you about my illness, and it's a serious one, a slight misstep and it could be fatal, and I've even produced the proof, so if you still go ahead and something happens, there's no negotiation about who's to blame.

General Manager Qian's face went dark; he suspected that the diagnosis proof was fake, but just then, a sharp-eyed security guard noticed the name on the diagnosis proof and suddenly said, "Are you Tang Fangjing from Tengda?"

General Manager Qian was taken aback upon hearing this. This person was Tang Fangjing?

Hearing this, Tang Fangjing took out his identity document and said, "Yes, it's genuine, no doubt about it."

General Manager Qian and the others crowded over to look. It was a mental health certificate...

"This, this must be a mistake..." someone couldn't help but say.

Hearing this, Tang Fangjing staunchly retorted, "No mistake at all. There might be other lawyers in Jingzhou named Tang Fangjing, but they definitely don't have this certificate!"

Just think about whether that logic makes any sense.

It indeed was Tang Fangjing; General Manager Qian was somewhat dumbfounded. How had Lv Ziyang managed to summon this big shot?

While the other party was in a daze, Old Tang didn't care about these things and continued on his own:

"Alright, I'll continue. You stated in your advertisement that you have tie-ups with famous schools; such kind of promotion is enough to attract people to buy houses. Therefore, according to the Civil Code, Article 472, Paragraph 2, once the offeree promises, the offeror is bound by that declaration of intent."

An offer is not to be given out lightly; if a promise has been made by the other party, the offer must certainly be written into the contract.

"Likewise, the Civil Code, Article 473 stipulates that the content of commercial advertisements and promotions that meet the conditions of an offer constitute an offer."

"So, my request is very simple. Incorporate the clause about tie-ups with famous schools into the contract, then my client will sign the contract and pay the money without a minute's delay."

This approach looked similar to Wang Dengfeng's method, but in fact, Old Tang could directly apply for the revocation of the subscription agreement on the grounds of contract fraud. If the agreement is revoked, the earnest money will naturally be returned.

But he wanted more and therefore demanded that the developer add corresponding clauses!

The difference with Wang Dengfeng's method is that having planned schools is a firm requirement!

Although the purchasing agreement doesn't mention anything about planned schools, your brochure did mention it, so you have to include it. If you don't agree, it will be considered a breach of contract!

An offer, once accepted, has the same legal effect as a contract.

Well, if there is a breach, then Article 587 of the "Civil Code" applies, which states, "The party that receives the deposit shall return it twofold if it fails to perform its obligations or fails to perform in accordance with the agreement, resulting in the failure to achieve the purpose of the contract."

If you don't agree to add the clause, then paying double the deposit will suffice because if you don't agree, that's an outright breach of contract.

In layman's terms, clauses like "the developer has the final right to interpret" whether valid or not, won't affect the matter of purchasing a property, so the court will rule to enforce the contract.

However, whether there is a prestigious school involved affects the decision to buy property. Why? Because we came here for the prestigious school, to buy a school-district house. If you now tell me there's no prestigious school, then it's a fundamental breach as the purpose of the contract can no longer be fulfilled.

As for the other party really agreeing to add it... Old Tang believes they wouldn't be that foolish, at least the legal affairs director with half a brain wouldn't agree.

Why? Again, for the same reason. "Prestigious schools" can indeed determine whether people buy property here. If you write into the contract about tying up with prestigious schools, but then the education bureau tells me they've actually planned two new schools for the area, what would you call that? That's contractual fraud!

So, if the other party does agree to add it, Old Tang would immediately help Lv Ziyang pay off the full amount for the property.

No need to think twice, just take the administrative response, the brochure, the pre-sale contract for commercial housing, and the payment invoice to report the case.

Contractual fraud with a huge amount involved - do you care or not? If the real estate company's involvement prevents filing a case, then seek a review, request the Procuratorate to intervene, and...public opinion.

Old Tang always operates this way: either pay up or face jail time, and even after incarceration, the payments made can be recouped, considering this is just a branch company.

Across from him, President Qian opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"In any case, I have given you something to discuss," he said.

"Now I'm going to start recording a video. This is the corresponding lawyer's letter, which clearly states the demands. Please help sign the receipt, of course, you can also choose not to sign, but that will equally be considered as you having received it."

President Qian looked down at the content of the lawyer's letter. It looked very familiar—within seven days, if there's no response, the developer will be considered in breach of contract and a lawsuit will be initiated!

He wanted to stop the other party from filming but couldn't, and could only watch powerlessly as the other party turned and left.

"Alright, let's disperse. I'm going to report to the leadership," he said. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

There was no other choice, such matters had to be decided by the leadership.

Soon, the lawyer's letter was delivered to the company. The legal affairs director looked at the letter in front of him with a look of bafflement. What did this mean?

The company had used "tie-up with named schools" in many of its property campaigns, and now, the other party was fixating on that exact term.

What to do? Of course, he knew which school the district was tied to. If it were someone else, it would be different, but the other party was Tang Fangjing!

This man always planned carefully before acting, so what exactly was he planning to do?
