What's wrong with this lawyer?!

She also wanted to become an internet celebrity and to do product promotions; it's just that she never had the opportunity before.

After giving it some thought, Fu Xiaoyu did her makeup and recorded a video.

"My dear family, I am doing well, resting comfortably at home and nurturing my baby. I don't know why, but the news from yesterday suddenly went viral, and then many people started criticizing me..."

"They say I deliberately hid the fact that I was pregnant, but I didn't even know when I got pregnant. Plus, I'm married, and I don't understand why some people harbor such intense hatred towards a pregnant woman!"

"I just want to protect my legal rights. Is that wrong? Now, I've deleted the video myself, so that should be enough, right? Are you satisfied now?"

In the video, Fu Xiaoyu's tears streamed down like a shower from a pear tree, her makeup enhanced by beauty filters, and all kinds of special effects at full blast turned her into an absolute beauty. Now she seemed to be the victim of cyberbullying.

Not long after the video was posted, the comments exploded...

Looking at the popularity of her video, Fu Xiaoyu felt a bit entranced. She was famous, she really was famous!

After all, no one would know whether she had actually been criticized, and it couldn't be traced back.

Online, all kinds of comments surfaced again.

"Sister deleted the video? Don't be scared, they are just a law firm, can they really cover the sky with one hand? Don't be afraid!"

"Right, sister, don't be afraid, pregnant women can't just be fired. What you're doing is just standing up for your rights; there's nothing to fear. If anything happens, tell us, and we will definitely help you!"

"Those who participate in cyberbullying should die. Why can't the lady defend her legal rights? All of you are discriminating against pregnant women. Go have your own kids then!"

"@Tang Fangjing, are you playing dead, not saying anything? To think I even supported you before!"

All kinds of classic comments appeared, and the netizens seemed to have forgotten that they were the ones who cyberbullied Li Wanting in the first place...

As for Old Tang, he was caught in the crossfire. As everyone knows, as soon as you show your face online, any issue that arises concerning your company or any other organization you're linked to will be traced back to you.

In such an atmosphere, at Tengda Law Firm, Old Tang looked at the news online with great interest.

Across the desk, Li Wanting sat there with particularly dark circles under her eyes; she hadn't slept well at all the night before.

Finally, Old Tang put down his phone and said, "Don't be nervous, it's just a small matter."

On hearing this, Li Wanting gave a bitter smile and said, "But now I'm afraid to even leave my home. People in the residential area where I rent have recognized me. They're saying in the homeowner's group chat that I'm not a good person..."

Being good-looking has its downsides. A high level of recognition can be a curse, whereas those with more common faces can pass unnoticed even if people have seen them online before...

"Moreover, Fu Xiaoyu has posted new information, claiming she was harassed by netizens, and she's pregnant..."

Yet it was Li Wanting who was actually subjected to the worst abuse, but in the eyes of the netizens, the other party seemed like she was suffering a terrible injustice.

Upon hearing this, Old Tang chuckled and said, "This is nothing. Watch, her next message will definitely be about how she was cyberbullied during her pregnancy and has now developed depression, and she will guarantee to produce a corresponding medical report."

"This shouldn't take more than five days."

Ah? Li Wanting was stunned and asked, "Old Tang, how did you know?"

Of course, Old Tang wouldn't say that this sort of tactic was already played out by internet celebrities in his past life, to the point where "depression" had turned into a "joke."

The ability to run a disease into the ground showed just how formidable internet celebrities could be.

He hadn't seen anyone play this card in this lifetime yet, and it somewhat made Old Tang nostalgic.

The previous video was one thing, but this video was too much—unbearably full of it.

"Don't worry about how I know. What I want to know is, what do you plan to do about it?"

Li Wanting hesitated, she now didn't even dare go to the court.

Old Tang continued, "Alright, let's do this, I will go with you when the time comes. I'm free anyway."

"Ah? Old Tang, you will come to court with me? That would be great!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wanting was overjoyed. Tang Fangjing was like a stabilizing anchor; with him present, there was nothing to fear. That so-and-so Lawyer Hua was only good at arguing, but with Old Tang stepping in, let's see him try to argue now.

Li Wanting felt a bit like a child running to their parents after being bullied...

Soon enough, Li Wanting made a call to President Zhang.

Inside the Phoenix Company, President Zhang was equally baffled upon hearing this. "Wait a minute, Lawyer Li, are you saying Lawyer Tang Fangjing is planning to personally take on the case?"

He had read the online narrative and felt that this time they might take a big hit.

They had already lost the arbitration, and now they were dealing with a public opinion campaign; it seemed likely that they would lose the lawsuit too.

But with Tang Fangjing stepping in personally, that was a different story—he was Tang Fangjing, after all!

"Say no more, Lawyer Li, we'll increase the lawyer fees, we'll go by Lawyer Tang's rates, and we definitely won't let you be inconvenienced!"

This was Tang Fangjing's esteemed reputation at stake. Although he hadn't mentioned money, President Zhang knew to act accordingly by agreeing upfront, and he could guarantee that the company's board of directors would approve it too.

A lawyer like Tang Fangjing is someone you can't even hire with money nowadays!

The online interest continued to rise, even to the point where some official media began to weigh in, such as various newspapers.

"Pregnant women's rights must be protected!" screamed a headline from one official media outlet.

In the article, this official media outlet detailed the various scenarios where pregnant women's labor rights are violated nowadays, and then, using Fu Xiaoyu's case as an example, it emphasized that many companies still ignore labor laws.
