What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 1000 - 323: Legal Director: I Predicted Tang Fangjing’s Prediction!_3

Director Fang said helplessly.

Director Liu glared with blank eyes: "So, just because of this, he sued our company? Does he... have a problem with his brain, is he freaking insane?"

"Are all the people at Tengda crazy?"

Director Fang didn’t even know what to say, as this matter was indeed too preposterous. Logically, I could understand Tang Fangjing suing, but this Director Wang suing, that’s truly incomprehensible!

Director Liu immediately cursed Director Wang’s ancestors!

"What does he want then, money, right?"

Director Fang looked at the copy of the complaint in his hand and said, "He only wants five hundred yuan, but he demands that we make a public apology to restore his reputation."

At this point, Director Fang looked at Director Liu and said, "It’s about publicly posting a statement online, saying that Tengda’s director is Wang Daming..."

Director Liu: "I &@#**!!"

He cursed for a full ten minutes, only then feeling a bit better, but the issue was still tricky to deal with.

After all, that guy was one of the founders of Tengda. If things weren’t handled well and he went to complain to Tang Fangjing, just thinking about it felt troublesome.

Ah, what a bunch of crap day by day.

As time slowly progressed in such an atmosphere, it was the next morning. Old Tang was already waiting at the Guangming District Court entrance with his briefcase.

"Director Tang, it’s like this, they had called me before," Tong Yunyu said worriedly next to him.

Of course, she was worried. If the mediation was successful, then the traffic she could generate on her end wouldn’t be as much.

What kind of news generates the most traffic? It must have explosive elements, but even before Tang Fangjing made a move, the other party was already scared into submission. While that would also be popular, it definitely wouldn’t be as explosive.

Old Tang laughed and said, "If you want so much money, and someone gives you that much, then we can’t really say much, can we? We can’t just raise the price on the spot, right?"

Tong Yunyu’s eyes lit up: "That’s not impossible..."

"Enough, don’t talk nonsense later, I’ll handle whatever comes up. Their only tactic is to throw money at you," Old Tang casually said.

Tong Yunyu didn’t speak anymore; she didn’t think the other party would offer much money.

The main reason was that she had such a good opportunity. Ordinary amounts of money didn’t appeal to her, and if the social media operation was handled well, that money would keep flowing in.

It wasn’t like compensation which was a one-time deal.

Just like that, the two entered the courthouse, making their way up to the third-floor conference room.

As soon as Old Tang entered, he saw Old Zhou sitting there, looking very downcast.

"Judge Zhou, so dedicated," he said.

You can only say it’s typical of Old Tang, with just one sentence, Old Zhou’s face darkened even more.

"If you can’t speak properly, then don’t talk, what, are you trying to stir up a ’lawyer and judge fight’ headline for tomorrow?" Old Zhou said irritably.

The two snapped back and forth, while Tong Yunyu just watched, equally dismayed.

Before long, Director Liu, Director Fang, and the equally downcast Su Jun walked in. Upon seeing Old Tang and Tong Yunyu, their expressions instantly changed.

"Ah, Miss Tong, hello, hello, and Director Tang... Lawyer Tang, hello to you too." Director Liu stepped forward with a smile to greet.

He intended to say Director Tang, but then he thought of that matter with Director Wang, so he changed it to Lawyer Tang.

Old Tang nodded in greeting, but Tong Yunyu kept her face cold, showing no courtesy.

Old Zhou looked around and emotionlessly said: "Since everyone is here, let’s start. Defendants, you’re prepared to meet the plaintiff’s demands, right? A total of 158,000 yuan, just give it directly, right?"

"If you can give it directly, I’ll draft the mediation agreement right now..."

Director Liu hastily said, "Well, Judge Zhou, let’s not rush. I have something else to mention."

Old Zhou’s face darkened even more. He was already in a bad mood, and now there’s more to discuss.

Director Liu then looked at Tong Yunyu and said, "Miss Tong, I’m the one who called you before, Liu Yingjie. The money issue can be easily discussed, but there’s a problem. This involves the company’s business secrets, so the mediation agreement needs to be confidential."

After a pause, his gaze casually swept over Tang Fangjing before he continued, "The same applies to everyone; no one is to disclose the contents of the mediation agreement. What do you think?"

Hearing this, the previously sullen-faced Zhou Yong suddenly rejuvenated, his eyes turning towards Tang Fangjing.

Tang, too, was a bit bewildered by these words. Seeing Zhou Yong’s look, he subtly shook his head without leaving a trace.

Zhou Yong immediately felt reassured. He had initially thought Tang did something that led the other party to demand secrecy, but it turned out not to be Tang’s doing. What was their situation then?

Whatever the reason, as long as the mediation fails, that’s fine!

Don’t ask why, if you ask, it’s because I love my job. Everyone knows Zhou Yong is the most capable in the civil division of the Bright District People’s Court!

Proposing such a suggestion to Tang Fangjing, have you not been beaten up before?

Tong Yunyu immediately changed the subject: "Talk to my lawyer. I’ve fully authorized him to handle things."

Hearing this, Director Fang spoke up, "Ms. Tong, this matter should still be decided by you, as this confidentiality involves your lawyer’s interest. Under interests tied, the other party’s decision might not always be for your best, so it’s better if you decide."

"If you agree to this request, we can further increase our compensation offer."

Tang said nothing, he had seen too many of such cases before.

However, Tong Yunyu glanced at Tang, noticing he showed no reaction, so she spoke up, "How much more exactly? Give a number." freewebnøvel.coɱ

Director Fang looked at Director Liu, then responded, "Three times. We are willing to offer you three times the compensation, and can go higher if necessary."

Three times fifteen thousand is forty-five thousand; to Director Fang, such compensation was not insignificant — a direct triple increase spoke to sincerity.

Although they hadn’t investigated Tong Yunyu’s situation, the level at which she could purchase cars, around three hundred to four hundred thousand, indicated she definitely wasn’t some sort of super-rich individual.

A few hundred thousand, certainly not a small amount!

However, Tong Yunyu laughed outright after hearing it: "Forty-five thousand? Are you treating me like a beggar? Just say it, what’s the maximum you can offer!"

Director Fang froze upon hearing this, a few hundred thousand, and she calls it beggarly!

Director Liu couldn’t help but add, "Then you tell us, what’s your number? How much money will satisfy you?"

Without much thought, Tong Yunyu simply said, "Just add two zeros to the number you just mentioned."

Of course, she wasn’t just spouting nonsense; from one side, the company backed by Tang Fangjing and Tengda surely wouldn’t do poorly.

She was even preparing to discuss a collaboration with Director Wang from Tengda.

You just have to look at how much those traffic-rubbing media platforms made in the past two years to know.

As long as Tang Fangjing is alive, they can keep making money.

Thinking about the number, she figured if her family could make that much, then she might as well shut down the company and lay low with her husband.

So long as they dare to offer, she’ll dare to accept.

She believed Director Tang would find it hard to outright refuse!

But, Director Liu turned pale: "Forty-five million? Are you trying to rob us? This is extortion!"

Director Liu swore to the heavens, he had only blurted that out.

After all, asking for nine figures might seem a tad excessive, you think this is Zimbabwean dollars, or do you see me as a scapegoat?

Yet, Tong Yunyu reacted even more dramatically, immediately standing up and saying, "See, I said it, all of you are the same. As soon as I name a price, you’ll say I’m extorting. Fortunately, we have a judge here today. Isn’t that right, Judge Zhou?"

Zhou Yong was almost bursting with joy internally, but he still maintained a serious face and said, "Don’t make baseless accusations. This is mediation."

Director Liu looked at Zhou Yong, "So, she gets to demand that much money through mediation? On what basis?"

Zhou Yong helplessly replied, "She’s not forcing you to pay, is she? I’ve already told you, this is mediation, based on mutual agreement. If agreement cannot be reached, then I’ll have to conduct a trial. Do you understand?"

Director Liu: "..."

So the judge isn’t siding with him today? Isn’t it said that judges love to mediate? Aren’t judges supposed to like persuading people with unreasonable demands to reconsider their requests?

Why is this happening?
