What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Gao Wentang, who always kept a calm demeanor, was now banging the table and yelling.

"What's going on, just what is going on? How did this case end up being broadcasted live?"

Li Zhongda stayed silent; it was best not to provoke the boss at such a time.

Director Liu also kept quiet, but felt quite exhilarated inside. Who would've thought, who would've thought, this case could actually be broadcasted live!

Previously, they said they didn't want it online, fearing it would affect the company's reputation. Well, now it's out, the entire internet would focus on this matter.

The others in the conference room also remained silent; when the boss is in a rage, anything you say is wrong.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Gao Wentang's expression turned terrifyingly dark: "All mute? Old Li, just what is happening?"

Being called out, Li Zhongda couldn't pretend to be mute, so he said: "President Gao, we're not really clear about this as well, the court hasn't contacted us either."

"So you mean the court decided to broadcast the trial by themselves, right? You didn't communicate with them at all?" Gao Wentang asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Li Zhongda glanced at Director Liu and said: "Old Liu, what's going on?"

Director Liu spoke up: "President Gao, President Li, it's up to the court to decide whether to broadcast the trial or not. It has nothing to do with us, we have no right to suggest."

Gao Wentang walked up to Director Liu, staring at him: "What do you mean by that? So you're saying that it's our own case, and the court can make it public whenever they want? Without even informing us?"

Director Liu felt like swearing, he really wanted to call them legal illiterates.

Public trials are a damn constitutional matter, as stated in Article 125 of the "Constitution": People's Court trials, except for special situations prescribed by law, are conducted openly.

Whether they broadcast the trial or not, what the hell does it have to do with you, why should they inform you?

But of course, he couldn't say that.

"President Gao, indeed it is the court's prerogative, no need to inform us..."

Gao Wentang was also getting infuriated; this caught him off guard: "Why, the court can just decide on their own? Alright, let's adjourn the meeting for now, Old Li, stay behind for a moment."

Everyone else left the meeting room, Gao Wentang took out his cell phone and went to the corner to make a call.

"Hey, Old Lin, what's going on here? How did it get randomly decided that our company's case would be broadcasted live? Who did this, are they out of their minds? Are they targeting me?"

"Can it still be revoked now?"

The voice from the phone echoed: "President Gao, the request came from the case's Presiding Judge and was personally approved by Dean Fang."

"The notice has already been posted on the trial publicity site, the public pressure is so high, it's impossible to retract it."

"It's not against you, you know the opposing lawyer is Tang Fangjing, so they have to be a bit more careful this time; otherwise, they're afraid he'll pick out flaws..."

Gao Wentang was completely exasperated: "So, just because they don't want Tang Fangjing to pick flaws, the court went ahead and broadcasted my company's case?"

He really wanted to ask, is Tang Fangjing that unbelievable? Are they that scared of him?

"President Gao, let me tell you again, it's indeed something the court can decide, talking to me won't help, this is beyond my control..."

A moment ago, his words were a bit harsh, and Old Lin on the other end also got a bit uncomfortable, his tone started to shift.

Your company may be impressive, but it's a different system from the court; whether they choose to give face and call you President Gao, or not, is entirely up to them.

"Alright, Old Lin, let's leave it at that for now."

After hanging up, Gao Wentang returned to the meeting room, looked at Li Zhongda in front of him, and said: "Old Li, can your legal team handle this? We need to win this case, and win it beautifully, is that possible?"

Ah? Hearing this, Li Zhongda was suddenly dumbfounded.
