What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 238: Is This Something a Normal Person Could Come Up With?



Feng Shurong had known Old Tang only through various online news stories and videos he'd posted himself before today. Thus, she always believed that although Tang Fangjing seemed fearless, he was actually a good person. After all, everything he did was for others, and as for money, someone like Tang Fangjing could easily take those well-paying and safe cases; there was simply no need. And that amount of money isn't worth risking his life for! So, he must be a good person. A good person wouldn't get worked up over just a few words, and therefore Feng Shurong didn't think Tang Fangjing would have a big reaction. But the current situation seemed a bit different from what she had anticipated; every word the young man now said was targeting her, targeting that "high level" comment she made. Confronted with Old Tang's words, Feng Shurong hesitated before saying, "Lawyer Tang, I am after all a woman, it's normal for me not to know as much about these regulations as you..." However, before she could finish, Old Tang interrupted her, "Professor Feng, what you just said is wrong. What's wrong with being a woman? Women hold up half the sky. I think you're discriminating against female legal professionals!" "This is the Women's Federation, if you keep talking like that, I will have to report you to the leadership here." What the heck? Feng Shurong was so taken aback she couldn't say a word, pointing her finger at Old Tang and stuttering, "You, you, you" for quite some time, at a loss for words. The assistant girl she brought with her was even more perplexed. Old Tang's argument was simply too advanced, it could leave someone speechless even if it were used in a foreign version. After all, only magic can counter magic! Han Chengli, sitting in the background, already gave a covert thumbs-up. He found Old Tang even more appealing now... look at him, even his trash-talking was much sharper than Han Chengli's own. Out of everyone there, only Wang Qingqing had an indifferent expression. Truth be told, she knew Old Tang the best, so she knew very well that Lawyer Tang always held back in everyday life. Using tactics like capping and snide remarks were skills that Old Tang just chose not to use, it didn't mean he couldn't; in fact, he was particularly proficient in those areas! As for Dong Xiangmei, she had been initially stunned by what Old Tang said, as she had never before considered solving a problem from that angle. Calling the police was simply perfect, and more importantly, it wasn't like others making fake calls; in a way, it was indeed soliciting prostitution. As she was pondering this, she realized that Lawyer Tang and Professor Feng didn't seem to get along. So, the very next second, Dong Xiangmei immediately started to watch the drama unfold... After all, now that Lawyer Tang had provided a solution, a spat between a top-tier lawyer and a law professor wasn't something you could witness every day. Feng Shurong finally composed herself and with a tense face said, "Tang Fangjing, what do you mean? How am I discriminating against female legal professionals? Explain yourself!" Lawyer Tang didn't shout anymore and became simply Tang Fangjing. Wang Qingqing couldn't hold back and let out a laugh, whispering to Old Tang beside her, "Brother Tang, look how agitated she is..." Although she whispered, the office wasn't that large; even a fart could be heard if some measures weren't taken. Therefore, Feng Shurong naturally overheard Wang Qingqing's comment, and her face, which had just managed to calm down, instantly flushed red again. Old Tang turned his head to look at the girl beside him and they shared a smile... it had to be said that Miss Wang was indeed living up to her reputation — an expert at everything besides just law. Her ability to read the room was impressive. Old Tang couldn't outright say it, but if the subject came up again, it would become easy to talk about. Indeed, the words "he's getting agitated" could make someone's head explode in an instant. "You..." Feng Shurong abruptly stood up, pointing at Wang Qingqing and demanded, "Who are you, what do you mean by that? Tell me what you mean!" Seeing this, Old Tang quickly stood up and said, "Oh, Professor Feng, please don't be angry, this is the niece of the director of our law firm, Wang Daming. She's still young, what kind of adult are you, getting into a squabble with a child?" Damn! Han Chengli sitting at the back was about to burst out laughing, one hand on his thigh as he twisted it forcefully to hold himself back; otherwise, he'd genuinely start guffawing. "And you, Qingqing, what are you blabbering about, huh? Is Professor Feng really agitated? She isn't; look, she's perfectly fine..." After saying this, he sized up Feng Shurong from top to bottom, Old Tang curiously asked, "You're not really agitated, are you? Qingqing, look what you've done, you've made her upset, hurry up and apologize!" Wang Qingqing then promptly stood up, taking a deep bow, "I'm sorry, Professor Feng, I unintentionally made you upset. Now I formally apologize to you, hoping to receive your forgiveness..." "Yeah, that's right, if you make someone upset, you should apologize right away, don't make me teach you this again." Feng Shurong's face was frosty as if emitting a chill that could have persisted for ten thousand years, seemingly dropping the room's temperature as well; this pair was just insufferable! Dong Xiangmei couldn't stop herself from enjoying the show, thinking if she had Lawyer Tang's temper, her lawyer husband would have been thoroughly tamed by now! And just then, a sudden burst of laughter broke the room's tense atmosphere. "Pfffhahaha..." Everyone turned their heads and saw Han Chengli at the back, his hand over his mouth as he seemed to be struggling to contain himself, but to no avail. The burst of laughter, like diarrhea, simply couldn't be held in!
