Chapter 852: Chapter 273 Tang Fangjing: I Actually Dislike Criminal Law_3
Subconsciously, I walked outside and dialed the number of Lawyer Tang’s assistant.
“I don’t know what to do now that they’ve suddenly said this…”
Soon, a voice ca through the phone: “This is Tang Fangjing, I’ll tell you where the problem is. That Lawyer Liu made the decision to agree to diation without your permission.”
“Didn’t you notice? The topic has been derailed. Last ti you all agreed to decide after clarifying the issues, never mind fifty percent, even ten percent would not have mattered.”
“As a lawyer, he should have directly told you the answer, instead of saying that he had already taken the initiative to discuss the percentage with the other party. Do you understand?”
“After all, you aren’t fully authorized agents for each other…”
...
These little tricks, old Tang stopped playing them when he was twenty-five years old. It’s a subtle switch in concept, and anyone who’s savvy can see through it right away.
So Sun Yan returned to the conference room and said, “Everyone, wait a minute, you, yes you, I’m asking you, we clearly agreed last ti to let Director Liu clear up these issues for us!”
“And then we would decide whether or not to diate based on these answers. Who gave him the authority to negotiate proportions and to decide on diation on his own? Please answer directly!”
The staff mber opposite was dumbfounded, his mouth agape. He had not expected such words from this young woman.
“It’s not about what you think. Director Liu thought it was outrageous, so he kindly went to talk on behalf of everyone. So now I get the feeling you are blaming our director, right?”
“It’s really interesting. Even though you are clients, does that an clients can be unreasonable?” the staff mber retorted quickly.
Everyone present felt a bit silenced, the clever among them had already realized where the problem lay.
“You still rember we are clients, huh? Since we’re clients, shouldn’t it be up to us to decide on matters like diation? He is just our agent, and a general one at that. What authority does he have to make decisions about diation for us? Did we authorize him to negotiate?”
“Who is the one being unreasonable now!” Sun Yan stared down the staff mber: “One minute there’s a coincidental business trip, the next he’s deciding to diate for us. Tell , who is the unreasonable one, tell !”
Finally, everyone caught on. Old Li slapped his thigh and said, “Now I get it, so that’s what’s going on!”
“Exactly, we never said to let him negotiate. By doing so, doesn’t that just make it seem like we are willing to diate? What kind of person is this!”
The staff mber began to panic a little; this woman’s words were a bit too pointed.
In the past, the firm had fooled many people with this tactic because a normal person’s first reaction to an unreasonable proportion would be, “This is too much, I can’t accept it.”
If you can’t accept it, then the other side suggests a slight raise, and once you negotiate, you’ve fallen into the trap.
“No, that’s not what I an, Director Liu really ant well, he…”
“Can you stop talking about good intentions? He’s the head of a law firm, doesn’t he know the law? Can he make decisions on his own without the client’s authorization?”
“Fine, we don’t want to talk about this here anymore, let’s go, to the Xihong District Justice Bureau!”
No need to listen to the rest; it was not going to end well, might as well cut straight to the point—file a complaint!
The staff mber now completely panicked, hurriedly stepped forward to stop everyone: “Wait, please wait, don’t rush. Director Liu really didn’t intend to make the decision on his own, please don’t leave…”
Hu Ming already stepped forward: “What, your law firm wants to illegally detain us? After all that’s been done, you claim he didn’t an it? Are you kidding us?”
If it were just any ordinary person, it might have been fine, but the head of a law firm, to do such a thing out of so-called goodwill—anyone could guess it wasn’t just a coincidence.
The staff mber dared not stop them anymore, as people had already taken out their cell phones ready to call the police.
Watching the group leave, the staff mber hurriedly made a call: “Hello, Director, it’s , Xiao Wang, not good, they are saying you made the decision to diate without consent, and now they have gone to the Xihong District Justice Bureau to file a complaint against you!”
On the other end, Director Liu, who was on a business trip preparing for court, was taken aback: “What? What happened?”
