What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 636 - 201 Are you satisfied now?

"To tell the truth, Old Tang didn’t think that the judge across from him was one of those enforcement judges who simply didn’t understand the hardships of ordinary people."

"What he just meant was that after all, YaStone was such a big company, it wouldn’t be affected much by a mere 400,000 yuan, considering the relative size of the company."

"But sometimes it’s exactly these kinds of remarks that cause conflict. So, because YaStone is too big to care about 400,000 yuan, I have to keep waiting?"

"The law clearly states that at this time, I can go to the parent company for the money, so why shouldn’t I?"

"Big corporations are undeniably powerful, but Old Tang remembered, from before his past life to the time before his transmigration, many people couldn’t even get their bike rental deposits back. Don’t ask, it’s just a queue."

Across from Old Tang, Judge Shan’s face changed immediately: "Director Tang, what are you..."

"I’m just speaking my mind, that’s all. Let’s leave it at that for today, Judge Shan. I’ve already submitted my application. Whether or not you give me a receipt is up to you. I’m heading out now."

After a brief farewell, Old Tang stood up to leave as if the person who had waited in line for four days wasn’t him.

Behind him, Judge Shan was stunned, thinking, what is Tang Fangjing planning now?

"Director Tang, Director Tang, wait a moment! I’m not saying I won’t process your case, hey, wait!"

Hearing this, Old Tang stopped and turned around, asking, "Judge Shan, is there something else you need?"

"Director Tang, really... I’m just a grassroots court enforcement judge. I don’t have the power you think I do. YaStone is in Magic City, and even if I queue you up, it won’t be easy to enforce."

Judge Shan wasn’t making excuses. It’s not as simple as just putting it on the list and directly deducting the money."

"Take for instance having a dispute with a branch of Penguin, judged by a local court, and if the branch can’t fulfill the judgment, you normally would have to list Penguin as the enforcement defendant too. Legally there’s no issue."

"But when it comes to execution, that’s another story, and this analogy makes it very clear."

Old Tang replied, "That’s exactly it, I just applied. Whether it gets done or not is up to the court. That’s all, Judge Shan, I really must go."

I have this attitude now, what else do you want from me? After all, the enforcement is supposed to be your job as enforcement judges.

After leaving the Enforcement Bureau, Old Tang dialed Lv Ziyang’s number.

"I just finished talking with the enforcement judge. Don’t worry, the money will definitely be paid to you, no need to worry."

On the other end, Lv Ziyang hurriedly said, "Director Tang, I’m sure that’s not a concern, but I really need the money for buying a house soon... so, is there any approximate timeline?"

"An approximate timeline? A month, at most. It will definitely be resolved within a month. If not, I’ll advance you the money myself. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Lv Ziyang said there was no need for that repeatedly, while Old Tang chuckled and hung up the phone. It wouldn’t even take a month since he still had a retrial at the higher court waiting.

With such a good criminal case in hand, no one has the time to be grinding teeth with a real estate developer here.

In the YaStone Jingzhou branch office, Deng Erfeng couldn’t help but want to laugh at the online news about "Tang Fangjing eating boxed lunch while being hung out to dry by the enforcement judge."

Even if you are Tang Fangjing, so what? Even if you win the lawsuit, so what? If it can’t be enforced, it just can’t be enforced.

And he’s doing it all by the book. Nobody can fault him for that.

It was just Old Niu who suddenly wanted to resign. After Deng Erfeng tried to persuade him several times, he realized Old Niu was serious about leaving and stopped insisting.

Just then, Deng Erfeng’s phone rang, showing a call from the company’s new legal director.

"What? The enforcement judge called, did he? Telling us to execute as quickly as possible? How are we supposed to execute this? What? Mentioning the parent company as an enforcement defendant too?"

On the other end, the legal director explained, "The enforcement judge said that our branch’s civil liabilities are to be taken on by the parent company, so if we can’t pay, we definitely have to ask the parent company."

"If we can ask the parent company for money, then do it; why tell me about it? That’s it, hang up."

After putting down the phone, Deng Erfeng looked disgruntled. This legal director is young and naively believes the court is just trying to scare us. There are many Jingzhou branches, and I’ve never heard of any case being directly enforced against the parent company.

Normally, it just drags on locally, since that’s where the company is.

Before Deng Erfeng could react, there was a knock on the office door and the secretary came in with a notice.

"An administrative penalty notice? What’s this about? Is the Changyi District really preparing to fine us?" exclaimed Deng Erfeng while reading the notice in surprise.

The notice stated that YaStone Jingzhou Branch had made false advertisements and was being fined 500,000 yuan with an order for rectification...

This was something Deng Erfeng could not just accept, considering YaStone had been building neighborhoods in Jingzhou for years, and while there had been fines before, those were mostly... symbolic gestures.

Playing for real this time, huh?

"Fine, well and good, then fine us. After all, the more lice you have, the less itchy you feel; the more debts, the less worry. There’s really no money in the accounts now; if everybody wants to get paid, just touch the regulatory account," he thought.

Meanwhile, back at the law firm, Old Tang had prepared the necessary materials, just the evidence from Lv Ziyang’s winning case.

But before heading out, he dialed one more number.

"Hello, is this President Deng? Hi, this is Tang Fangjing. Yes, that Tang Fangjing!"
