What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Before she could finish speaking, Old Tang cut her off, "I didn't say you took the wrong case; I said that you took a case and ended up losing it, which is where you went wrong."

"The key issue is that the lawsuit needs to be won, but right now it's just a labor arbitration..."

As Old Tang spoke, he thought of a labor dispute involving a pregnant woman from his previous life.

He remembered a company whose boss, in an attempt to fire a pregnant woman, simply shut down the firm and then reestablished it. You have to say, he really went to great lengths.

This was indeed an issue, and for Old Tang, being a lawyer, as long as there were laws to follow, he should act according to the law.

He didn't have the power to change the law and was not an academic expert; therefore, in such situations, he would definitely act according to the law.

Now, after hearing what Wan Ting had to say, Old Tang suddenly thought of a case from his previous life that had made it all the way to the Supreme Court, and it was strikingly similar to this one!

But in the end, the company won that case!

Don't ask why a case would make it to the Supreme Court; different courts may interpret specific legal provisions differently, which sometimes results in utterly frustrating judgments.

It's not uncommon for one to win at first instance, lose at second instance, and win again upon retrial.

Besides, courts across the country tend to have their own procedural habits, which has led to a cynical joke in the legal field:

"For as many courts as there are in the country, there are that many civil procedure laws..."

Substantive law is nothing to worry about; courts must follow it strictly. But procedural law... ahem, don't ask, it's all about the courts' interpretation.

However, this case is quite interesting.

Meanwhile, Wan Ting was a bit out of step; what Lawyer Tang said was wrong, was it this mistake?

"But, Brother Tang, this case really has hit a dead end. The other party has already posted the case online. With such public opinion, at first instance I estimate..."

Old Tang was stunned: "Posted online? What are they doing, twiddling their thumbs? Didn't you say they won the arbitration? Why post it online?"

"Okay, just wait, let me get the facts straight first."

After hanging up the phone, Old Tang started searching online for information and immediately realized it was a clear case of cyberbullying!

Those harsh words used to curse others online; suddenly, Lawyer Wan Ting became the spokesperson for the capitalists...

After thorough searching, Old Tang quickly found the account that first posted about the issue, one called "Xiaoyu Heehee", and his head ached at the thought of "who gets it, family?"

It was unclear whether the other party was genuinely naive or pretending, but the intent to lead the narrative was all too obvious.

However, Old Tang wasn't in a hurry to respond. He planned to check the ruling and the case files of the arbitration tomorrow before making a decision.

Indeed, even with Wan Ting's statements, he would not believe them entirely. This good habit had saved him many times in his past life. It wasn't that he was suspicious by nature; he was simply too scared of being deceived again.

Personal statements always tend to cast oneself in a positive light and the other party in a negative one. Just a slight detail can lead to a defeat in court, and it's a habit that everyone has and is impossible to change.

After thinking it over, Old Tang began to collect evidence. Although he wasn't sure about the case involving the pregnant woman, the cyberbullying was a real occurrence.

It was surprising to him that despite already having reformed the internet once, there were still those who were dissatisfied. So if that was the case, let it continue. The evidence would definitely need to be collected in advance.

Now that he discovered the system panel could be used as a notebook, a camera, and a video recorder, the incredibly tedious work of evidence collection had become much easier.

This was also why during the last major litigation, Old Tang managed to collect and organize evidence all on his own. It's just what life is like with such advantages.

Time moved on in this atmosphere until the following morning arrived. Fu Xiaoyu got up early and began to play with her phone. She had gone to sleep quite content the night before after reading a few comments.

That's the thing with anonymous confessions; as long as a few people agree with her, she's satisfied.

But when she woke up today, she found over a dozen missed calls and various WeChat messages. On the shaking app, she saw her background inboxes and comments were completely exploding!

What's going on? Fu Xiaoyu quickly started checking the messages. They were all sent by her friends, some telling her not to be afraid, that everyone would help.

Others said that she had now become famous and should seize this opportunity to become a livestreamer.

After a careful examination, Fu Xiaoyu finally understood why the image and video post she had made as an anonymous confession the day before had now blown up across the internet!

Looking at the overwhelming online discussion, Fu Xiaoyu's first reaction was fear.

Sometimes, one knows very well what they have done, especially when the other party is a lawyer.

She suddenly realized what her friends meant; she was now famous!

Such a huge traffic; if she could become an internet celebrity, she wouldn't need her previous job anymore.

Why did she insist on staying at Phoenix Company? She continued to maintain the labor relationship even after falling out with the company because Phoenix Company offered good treatment and high salary.

Plus, finding a job after having a baby would be difficult, so she wanted to stay at Phoenix Company.

But now, traffic meant money!

She had heard of some situations online where something happens, and someone comes out saying, "I am who from such-and-such event, I've joined this or that platform," then leveraging activities like the "Try Not to Laugh Challenge" to gain even larger traffic and eventually start promoting products.
