Chapter 512: Chapter 174 Tang Fangjing, You Have Now Beco an Outcast!_2 Chapter 512: Chapter 174 Tang Fangjing, You Have Now Beco an Outcast!_2 No need to guess to know it’s the case; with a lawyer like Tang Fangjing, Han Chengli definitely wouldn’t want him—he’s just a troublemaker, and what does it matter if he can fight lawsuits?
As ti quietly slipped into the next day in such an atmosphere, Old Tang grabbed his briefcase and left, ready to et up at the law association today.
There was no need for introductions; they were pretty much all acquaintances, with each person’s topic of expertise already assigned.
Old Tang was in charge of criminal law, mainly publicizing so new and inventive fraud tactics.
They say urban areas are plagued with electronic scams, but in reality, fraud is even more rampant in the countryside, where all sorts of con artists deceive the elderly villagers.
So cases make you really want to hit soone when you see them.
Old Tang arrived at the law association, familiarly making his way to the eting room, and upon entering, he found that many people were already there.
...
“Hey, Director Tang is here, co sit over here.
Oh, and let tell you, Director Han from Dafeng Law Firm is also participating.
You two are both top criminal lawyers, so you can arrange the division of labor when the ti cos, all right?”
The speaker was an acquaintance of Old Tang’s, Tong Yuanfu, the vice dean of the Civil Law School at Handong University of Political Science and Law, who had a deep research background in civil law, and was also the leader of this legal publicity trip to the countryside.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang imdiately said, “Director Han is here too?
How unusual.”
Honest to goodness, he truly just blurted that out—Tang Fangjing could swear he didn’t an any harm.
Sitting not far away, Han’s face suddenly turned dark.
This Tang Fangjing, still as tactless as ever, so infuriating!
Forget it, I’m a law firm director; I won’t stoop to argue with a madman.
Thinking this, Han turned his head to look at the wall, not wanting to see Tang Fangjing.
Old Tang didn’t proactively approach either.
“I am now the director of Tengda, and after this I might beco a vice-chairman.
We’ll all be on the sa level then, so there’s even less need,” he thought and turned his head toward another wall.
Dean Tong and the other professors: “…”
Lawyer Tang is a nutcase, but why does it feel like Chairman Han is also not quite normal right now?
Or is it that this illness is contagious?
But that wouldn’t make sense either; Director Wang from Tengda is doing just fine right now.
It’s strange no matter how you think about it.
In such an atmosphere, everyone finally reached the ti to depart.
The law association had chartered a bus, and they quickly hit the road.
Old Tang naturally didn’t share a vehicle with old Han.
Right now, he was looking at his phone and said, “Dean Tong, our first destination is Jingnan County, right?”
“Yes, Jingnan County.
This county isn’t very populous, and its villages have even fewer people.
I visited here a few years back.
Sigh, don’t even ntion it, quite a few of the local elderly were scamd terribly.”
What Dean Tong was referring to was a common scam seen in rural areas a few years ago, where farrs were persuaded to purchase water purifiers.
In Dean Tong’s words, it really lacked any scruples, as many elderly folks who lived alone and fard would make less than ten thousand yuan a year, and yet, these con artists would overhype the product, selling sothing that might have cost only a few hundred yuan for as much as four or five thousand yuan.
What’s more, if you went to the police to report such a thing, they seldom filed a case, for the authorities would deem it a sales activity.
If there was false advertising or anything of the sort, they’d suggest taking legal action.
Let’s be real, how many people in the countryside would take legal action over this?
Even city dwellers rarely do it.
The Bureau of Industry and Comrce could certainly get involved, but these scamrs were always on the move in coaches, their whereabouts unknown, and without investigative authority, complaints to Industry and Comrce often went nowhere…
Not to ntion all the other fancy scams, like pension investnts, or things sold as dicines that were actually health products.
The number of sches was frightening.
Old Tang shook his head as well, aware of the long and difficult road ahead.
There was a fair distance from Jingzhou City to Jingnan County, and the drive took a full three hours.
Finally, they arrived at the county, and for such an event, it certainly involved officials.
The local Justice Bureau took charge, and the group checked into a hotel in the county.
Everyone was tired that day, and there was also a local reception ceremony to attend, so after returning to the hotel, they just slept.
The following day ca quickly, and Old Tang, as usual, woke early.
Today they were scheduled to start with legal publicity activities at the schools in the county.
He glanced at his legal calendar; today was a good day.
So let’s begin.
The place of the county town is actually quite significant, but the disparity in the level of rule of law from one county town to another is astoundingly large.
Two hours later, Jingnan County’s First Middle School – the students, all in uniform, listened intently to the lecture, and the professors on stage were delivering eloquent speeches.
Afterwards, they answered the students’ questions, which were all rather theoretical in nature—exactly scratching the professors’ itches.
The professors answered with great enthusiasm, creating such a harmonious scene that Old Tang almost had the illusion that the students had rehearsed specifically for the lecture…
It was too harmonious, with people taking pictures inside the venue, and it looked like there might even be interviews after the lectures.
Old Tang was a bit bewildered by this routine, which seed all too familiar from his childhood.
Without any exaggeration, Old Tang rembered that when he was a student, whenever leaders ca to inspect, the school would arrange everything perfectly.
He hadn’t expected that after so many years, it would still be the sa old story.
So bored, too bored.
Old Tang was almost falling asleep listening; this kind of formality was not the reason he was there to spread legal awareness.
He really couldn’t listen anymore.
For soone like him, a veteran lawyer who’s seen plenty of the darker side of life, this pure setting really wasn’t for him.
