What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 1073 - 348 Complicated Relationships_2

"Lawyer Tang handled that matter so beautifully. I think he shouldn’t just supervise the courts; he should also oversee other organizations. Better yet, he should come to our Xiping City and shake things up a bit more."

"For these people, you need someone as ruthless as Lawyer Tang to straighten them out. Do a few rounds of follow-ups, or else they’ll never understand what the law is."

Old Tang nodded with a smile, feeling a little smug. He didn’t expect that an impulsive operation would win such unanimous approval from so many people.

Expanding the scope wouldn’t be impossible, but being just one person, he couldn’t handle something too big.

When they arrived, Old Tang paid for the ride. The taxi driver casually asked, "By the way, I didn’t ask earlier—young man, what are you going to this company for?"

Old Tang chuckled at the question. "To cause them some trouble."

The taxi driver froze, wanting to make a sarcastic remark, but before he could, he saw Old Tang already walking into the building.

"What the hell... He looks all refined but talks even bigger than I do..."

Over on Old Tang’s end, he was already holding his briefcase, ready to walk into the lobby. To be fair, the place did look quite polished.

But right at the door, he was stopped by a security guard.

"Young man, what are you here for?" the security guard asked.

"My client was injured on your company’s construction site. I’m here to retrieve the investigation report from back then. Which office should I go to for that?"

Hearing this, the security guard shook his head and replied, "Oh, you don’t have an appointment, do you? I don’t know much about what you’re saying... Are you a lawyer?"

Old Tang immediately pulled out his credentials. "Yes, here’s my ID and the power of attorney."

"Oh, well, hang on; I’ll check for you."

Old Tang didn’t say much, standing at the entrance and waiting. The security here seemed vigilant, but that was understandable.

When he looked this company up online, he’d found a substantial amount of litigation information, most of which had to do with money.

This was quite representative of a certain quirky scenario in construction these days.

Wages for migrant workers? No one dared to delay those anymore. And why’s that? Because if you delay their wages, those worker brothers are genuinely willing to go to extremes—like brandishing knives or collectively threatening to jump off a building.

Don’t talk to me about what’s legal or not. If I’ve worked for a year and haven’t been paid, can’t even go home, and someone dares to withhold my pay? I’ll take them on at all costs!

This wasn’t just empty talk. There were countless similar cases in the past, and some people might even have heard about one particular one.

A bulldozer operator’s son was seriously ill, and he went to the contractor to demand the wages he was owed. Not only did the boss refuse to pay, but he also turned it around, accusing the operator of damaging his bulldozer and demanding compensation.

On top of that, he hired two thugs to physically attack the operator.

The operator fled to a nearby bulldozer and tried to escape, only to be chased by the thugs in a car.

Completely breaking down, the operator turned his bulldozer around and rammed straight into the car chasing him. The thugs in the car were scared stiff. They dared to beat people up but were in no way ready to risk their lives.

The car ended up smashed against a utility pole, but the operator didn’t stop there. He kept ramming it with the bulldozer. Even the traffic police couldn’t stop him... and truly couldn’t, because a bulldozer is like an unarmed tank.

Unless you’re using firearms, you can’t stop it.

The rampage didn’t end until the car was reduced to a heap of scrap metal.

One of the thugs in the car died on the spot, while the other was seriously injured.

Then there’s also the case of someone committing a triple-murder over a debt of three thousand yuan. As soon as the knives came out, the boss started begging for forgiveness on the spot...

Through relentless struggles like these, we now have initiatives like the "Special Account for Migrant Workers’ Wages."

If people didn’t fight back after being denied their wages, would things have turned out this way?

And since wages for migrant workers can’t be delayed anymore, it’s clear that other payments, like construction fees, can be. Although they’re all debts, in court, there’s a clear hierarchy of prioritization.

This has even led to cases of engineering fees being disguised as lawsuits for migrant workers’ wages, which were later flagged as fraudulent lawsuits...

All in all, there’s a lot of outstanding debt, so companies fear someone showing up to make trouble.

But seeing the lawyer’s credentials probably reassured them that a lawyer wouldn’t come banging on the door to stir up a scene.

Soon enough, Old Tang saw the security guard inside waving him in.

Once inside, they said he couldn’t meet anyone without an appointment and insisted he had to schedule one first.

"So how long will it take to make this appointment? My client has been injured for nearly a year now. If I can’t get this information soon, I won’t be able to help him apply for the workplace injury certification."

Old Tang said this to the receptionist at the desk.

"That... we’re not sure either. We don’t know about the schedules of the leaders. We can only report the situation." The receptionist replied, "Do you still want to make an appointment?"

"Of course. Here are my credentials."

The receptionist took a look at the ID. Tang Fangjing... The name sounded so familiar.

"Are you that Lawyer Tang from Jingzhou Tengda Law Firm?"

"Yes, that’s me. But who I am doesn’t matter, does it? Hurry up and schedule the appointment," Old Tang said again.

Hurriedly, the receptionist recorded the relevant information. Watching Old Tang leave, she quickly started calling to report the situation.

Upstairs in the office, Ma Wentong, who was in charge of company administration, answered the call. At first, he casually responded, but as soon as he heard those three words, he immediately stood up.

"Who? Tang Fangjing? Are you sure?"

"We’re sure, Mr. Ma. It’s Tang Fangjing. It even says Tengda Law Firm on his ID."

"He’s already left? What were you all thinking, letting him leave when you knew it was Tang Fangjing? Go get him back immediately!"

With no other option, the security guard rushed out to chase him down. Fortunately, Old Tang was walking slowly, so they caught up quickly.

"So now your boss suddenly has time? That’s quite the miracle. Just a moment ago he was swamped, but now he’s free to meet me..."
