What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Inside the women's restroom at Tengda Law Firm, Yan Xueling was looking at comments on her phone. She had been idling recently and started drawing some comics about life at the law firm, which she titled "Lawyer Tang's Daily Life".

The main character was a lawyer named Tang, who was exceptionally skilled but distinctly adolescent in his thinking, always saying things like "Let's have a spirited debate" that just made you cringe.

There was also a female assistant named Yan, and the two of them were always joking and teasing each other amidst their court battles—it was quite entertaining.

Although Miss Xiao Yan's drawing skills weren't great, as she was self-taught, her work drew a considerable audience who found it genuinely amusing.

Now, she was being constantly nagged for updates, even to the point where someone threatened to turn up at her doorstep if she didn't post new content soon.

Just as Miss Xiao Yan was giggling at the comments, a voice suddenly rang out next to her: "So you are the 'I Like to Play with Colors', huh, Brother Xueling?"

The voice startled Miss Xiao Yan so much that she felt her soul might leave her body. She quickly turned her head and saw someone had appeared behind her.

It was the ostentatious... ahem, it was that female assistant Wang Qingqing. But when had she come in?

"You you you, what are you talking about? Playing with colors? I don't know what you're saying!" Miss Xiao Yan hastily put away her phone.

Wang Qingqing wasn't wearing her usual short skirts or stockings today, just a plain white T-shirt and jeans. Hearing this, she laughed and said, "Don't know? Come on, take a look—who's this in the photo?"

As she spoke, Wang Qingqing pulled out her phone, which clearly displayed the photo she had taken.

"Being Lawyer Tang's assistant has taught me a lot, including the principle that words alone aren't enough, always leave evidence. I've been standing behind you for five minutes, you know."

"Who would have thought, Xueling, you're quite wild online..."

"What are you going to do about it?" Miss Xiao Yan glared as she spoke.

"Oh, it's nothing, Miss Xiao Yan. These days, who doesn't have an alt account? I won't tell anyone; I just wanted to ask you something," Wang Qingqing said, grinning.

"Ever since Lawyer Tang came back, he's suddenly taken a liking to adding vinegar to his tea. You've been his assistant recently, haven't you? Do you know why?"

That's it? You've got something on me and you ask about this?

"I don't know, it just happened that one day Lawyer Tang said his taste was dull and he wanted something stronger. Initially, I recommended different teas to him, but then he insisted on adding things to the tea and started experimenting with everything..."

Miss Xiao Yan said, exasperated, as Lawyer Tang had tried adding salt, sugar, and even coffee to his tea, finally settling on vinegar.

Yan Xueling didn't know either? Wang Qingqing was puzzled—who had influenced Lawyer Tang's taste...?

Old Tang in the detention center, of course, knew nothing about these goings-on; he was feeling quite pleased with himself.

President Liu and President Gao didn't dare utter a word. Wang Shihua couldn't even bring himself to look at Grandpa Wang. Throughout the entire court session, Old Tang said whatever he wished.

The issue of breach of pre-contractual liability wasn't significant as the P2P lending company had violated statutory ancillary obligations in the process of signing the guarantee contract.

What are statutory ancillary obligations? In layman's terms, it means during contract signing, both parties must assist each other, act honestly, and inform each other of relevant issues, among other things.

If there are significant risks that you don't disclose, you are definitely liable for breach of pre-contractual obligations.

Of course, not informing of substantial risks could also invalidate a contract, but at that time, Old Tang had no evidence in court and could only approach the problem from the perspective of standard form contracts.

The fact that the other party was now being identified as committing fraud was irrelevant to the civil case.

There had already been a trial, with clear recognition of facts, and the second hearing concluded quickly with Old Zhou announcing the verdict.

The defendant Damun Company and the third party Wang Shihua were to jointly bear Old Tang's legal fees and other reasonable costs.

Most of these costs fell on Damun Company, and Old Tang intended to apply for property preservation after leaving, as no one knew what might happen with that company. It was essential to act early.

Litigation carries risks, and court hearings should be approached with caution. A judgment that can't be enforced is less valuable than scrap paper, as it only serves to be frustratingly useless.

Hence, being a lawyer who can litigate is nothing special. A good lawyer is one who resolves matters.

Regrettably, such lawyers aren't all that common...

Half an hour later, Grandpa Wang returned to his neighborhood, and he seemed to have come back to life, looking like he was going to talk about this event for a long while in the community.

How many people nowadays can boast about having a court session in a detention center? No, just how many have even taken a stroll there!

Meanwhile, Old Tang hurried back to the law firm without stopping and instructed Wang Qingqing to apply for preservation of assets at the court.

"What's wrong? As my assistant, isn't it normal for me to give you tasks? You didn't seriously think that being an assistant was just about serving tea every day, did you? It's good that you've changed your clothes; this makes going out more convenient," he said.

"The outfit you wore before made it inconvenient to run errands."

Wang Qingqing left the law firm with a dumbfounded expression, carrying the documents. She had meticulously applied her makeup, the kind that misled men into thinking it was "bare-faced".

That kind of makeup actually took more time... but now, Lawyer Tang had sent her out on errands again, and having her dress so casually was just to make it convenient?

No wonder the man is still single at nearly twenty-eight!

Naturally, Old Tang wasn't concerned with Wang Qingqing's thoughts. Although he did enjoy seeing her in different outfits, being capable was what truly mattered.
