Chapter 371: Old Tang: 2 Years Without Approval, Isn't This Negligence?_2
Director Liu was certain that Li Zhongda, this blockhead, definitely wouldn't bother to look at the materials, so he was just digging a hole now... A law expert is generally very good at digging holes.
Li Zhongda frowned, his face darkened, and said: "Is this a reason? Tang Fangjing is really formidable, so are we supposed to just concede whenever we meet him?"
"So what if you earn a lot? If you legal personnel think you can't handle it, then don't do it, you know? There are plenty of people willing to do it!"
Hearing this, Director Liu immediately smiled, but his smile quickly faded.
"Boss Gao, you see, I'm really not skilled enough. If I go to court, there's basically no chance of winning. I get scared just seeing Tang Fangjing..."
"How about this, let General Manager Li take this one. Li is the leader of our legal department and has the highest professional level, no problem letting him handle it."
If it were in the past, Director Liu wouldn't dare to hit someone when they're down like this.
Hitting a leader when they're down means you have to strike to kill with one blow; if you don't, and they recover, you're the one who's going to be in trouble.
After all, they're the leader, and they have plenty of ways to deal with you.
But now things are different, after finishing this job, he's already planning to resign. If I'm not afraid of resigning, why would I be afraid of you?
As the saying goes, "Once you cast your lot, the heavens and earth seem boundless!"
Just like Old Wen back then, anyway, every time Old Wen recalls that situation, he's terrified in hindsight.
It's really good now, staying at Tengda, lots of judges envy him, and he's brought his wife and kids to Jingzhou because he's already bought a house there.
Just imagine if he continued being a judge in that small county, lord knows when he would ever soar.
Li Zhongda was stunned again, wait, why is this suddenly turning onto me again?
He quickly looked at Gao Wentang, and sure enough, Gao Wentang had already said: "Yeah, Old Li, I almost forgot about you, you take this case personally this time!"
There's a saying that goes, whether or not a leader knows which subordinates are capable and which aren't, the answer is that some leaders know, and some really don't...
There've been too many cases of layoffs cutting into the artery, such as that well-known subway layoff in a certain city, sending a bunch of people to run sewing machines, and the company's legal representative got a life sentence.
Similar situations really aren't rare, especially in state-owned enterprises, like a certain rocket engineer's story...
Anyway, it always seems fine until the layoffs happen, where you realize you can't manage without those people.
Li Zhongda became downright panicked now. They're asking a little trickster to take down the Great Sage Equalling Heaven. He knew exactly what his own level was.
Although he was legally trained, he hadn't really touched this stuff in recent years. If he went up there, he would definitely be rubbed into the ground!
So he quickly said: "Boss Gao, well, see, I might..."
But before he could finish, Gao Wentang interrupted: "What's the matter, Old Li, you're not going to help when I'm over my head here? Or are you also afraid of Tang Fangjing?"
"It's not fear..." Li Zhongda hastily said: "I'm worried that if I don't perform well, it'll bring shame to the company if we lose the case..."
Gao Wentang waved his hand and said: "If we still lose even with you in charge, then there's nothing we can do. Just prepare well, we'll all be watching the live broadcast when the time comes."
Having said that, Gao Wentang turned and left, Director Liu also walked out directly, leaving Li Zhongda standing there in a daze.
Director Liu really wanted to laugh, never expected that he could pull this off successfully this time, and Gao Wentang actually thought this Li Zhongda had skills!
Having "you personally handle it", alright then, there'll be a good show to watch at the time!
Knowing it was a live-streamed court hearing, Director Liu had no intention of appearing in court at all; being rubbed down by Tang Fangjing in plain sight and being rubbed down behind closed doors were two different things.
Now it was fine, a big head was blocking in front, so the pressure on him wasn't that great anymore.
He also wanted Gao Wentang to see who was really the ace in the company's legal department!
And then, once Gao Wentang realized his mistake, he would just resign... Isn't it wonderfully satisfying? He wanted to make him regret it!
With these thoughts, Director Liu happily returned to his office, packed up those stacks of materials, and brought them to Li Zhongda's office.
"General Manager Li, these are the materials previously sent by the court, take your time to study them."
After saying this, Director Liu was prepared to leave, but Li Zhongda said with a dark face: "Liu Guofei, what do you mean by this?"
Director Liu, hearing this, responded seriously: "General Manager Li, what do you mean, you're the top expert in our legal department, you said it yourself last time you handled the first trial."
"Now it's the second trial, isn't it only natural for you to take charge?"
Having said that, Director Liu turned his head and left, leaving Li Zhongda there, full of worry...
Time passed day by day, many netizens have already reserved to watch the live courtroom hearing.
Court Hearing Open Network had experience, knowing that any live broadcast involving Tang Fangjing drew a particularly large number of viewers.
So they prepared network load balancing in advance, otherwise, it'd be embarrassing if it lagged every three seconds.
Finally, the trial day arrived, and Old Tang, carrying a briefcase, went straight to the Intermediate Court, accompanied by a nervous Su Yeping.
"No need to be nervous, a live-streamed hearing is the same as a regular hearing, don't worry." Old Tang said with a smile.
Su Yeping nodded, but he couldn't control himself.
Soon, the two entered the courtroom and sat at the appellant's position, and the court clerk walked over to verify some information.
