What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"Why do we still have to go to court? Isn't there a regulation?" one of the homeowners complained, visibly unsatisfied.

"Right, the regulation is issued by the court, so you need to go to the court. As long as the court issues a judgment, we will absolutely enforce it," the lobby manager said again.

This wasn't him being obstinate; the bank's regulations were just like that.

No need to ask for leaders' instructions; he could give an answer directly.

Frankly, it was a procedural holdup; once the court's judgment was issued, there would be no problem.

However, the homeowners felt that the bank was giving them a hard time, blatantly not complying with established regulations. They wondered how the bank could be so bold!

They argued for a long time, to no avail, and ended up bringing the police into it.

This is always the case at the grassroots level: whenever there's a quarrel or conflict, the police must come.

After understanding the situation, the police advised, "You should still take the legal route. It's not possible for them to just handle it if you apply directly."

Lao Yu talked himself hoarse, and now they still had to go to court!

When Lawyer Tang was around, the bank had been very cooperative with everything. Why now...

Jia Quanmin, too tired to argue any longer, turned and said, "Everyone just wait; let me call Lawyer Zhou. He said before that if the bank didn't agree, then we should find him."

The others nodded in agreement, eager to consult a lawyer.

Jia Quanmin dialed the number and put it on speakerphone. After a few rings, the call connected.

"Hello, Dafeng Law Firm's Lawyer Zhou speaking."

"Lawyer Zhou, this is Jia Quanmin. We're at the bank, and they're now saying they don't agree and are insisting we go to court. What should we do now?"

"Can't you talk to them?"

Lawyer Zhou on the phone responded promptly, "Even if I talk to them, it's no use. Since they want to go to court, then let's go to court. At least once there's a judgment, you won't need to pay the loan anymore."

"Right, I should mention to everyone, if we go ahead with the lawsuit, it's a separate case, and our firm will still charge each person two thousand. Everyone, please consider this carefully."

"Of course, if the number of people doesn't reach fifty, then the fees will have to be higher..."

"Also, the previous judgment is effective now, right? Our firm can also apply for judicial execution on everyone's behalf. The charge isn't much, just two thousand."

Listening to this, homeowners felt as if they were being dizzied by one fee after another.

Especially those who had applied to withdraw their lawsuits suddenly thought that Tengda's Lawyer Tang was too conscientious!

He charged two thousand and directly sorted everything out, with the money transferred directly into their accounts.

On this end, though, filing a lawsuit costs two thousand, applying for judicial execution another two thousand, and suing to have the loan contract terminated yet another two thousand...

Welcome to the reality of the legal profession!

For lawyers, each issue is a separate matter, and additional issues definitely incur a fee. There's nothing to discuss about that; they rely on this for their livelihood.

This was also the reason why Tang Fangjing was criticized by many of his peers in Jingzhou. Sometimes, even with a bunch of issues, he would still charge as if it were just one.

Not only would you do that, but after charging so little, you would still be responsible for execution!

This is damned unfair competition, disrupting the market!

Now that Old Tang had flipped the Lawyers Association and now had an "invincible body," he was considered an influential figure among Jingzhou lawyers. Otherwise, he would have long since been attacked by a coordinated group effort.

Even so, there were still undercurrents brewing...

Lao Yu felt like slapping himself again, but after thinking it over, it was just a few thousand more to spend, and he could stop the loan and get his down payment back. So it was bearable.

People always need to find a way to reconcile with themselves.

But one should pay close attention to what a lawyer says; when they say they'll apply for judicial execution on your behalf, they really just mean they'll submit some documents to the court for you.

As for what happens afterward, they never said they wouldn't be responsible. Occasionally contacting the executing judge, making a phone call, that already means they've done their job.

If one personally meets the executing judge, that's considered dedication already.

Otherwise, for two thousand yuan, what more do you expect them to do, risk their lives?

It's somewhat like a developer's ceremonious resumption of work; for a lawyer, it's called ceremonious effort.

Days and weeks of judicial execution passed in a blink of an eye.

Yet, the judicial execution still bore no fruit.

On the contrary, two of the bank's leaders were convicted of taking bribes as non-state personnel; one was sentenced to five years, the other three.

The homeowners grew anxious and visited Dafeng Law Firm.

"Didn't you say you'd apply for judicial execution? How long has it been? Where's the money?" Jia Quanmin stood in the front shouting.

"Yeah, where's the money? Why hasn't the execution taken place yet?"

The lawyer from Dafeng Law Firm, Zhou, came out to explain, still maintaining a good attitude, not angry at all.

"I've already been actively communicating with the executing judge. But they have a lot of cases, and ours has just been transferred over. We need to wait."

After explaining the difficulties of execution at length, he finally managed to persuade the homeowners to leave.

Then came the National Day, and Old Tang was finally able to leave the hospital.

His popularity online had already waned, so Old Tang was pleased to have some peace. He had no desire to meet those self-media types who, for the sake of traffic, would stop at nothing.

Nobody had been informed, but as soon as he arrived at the hospital entrance, he found Old Song waiting with a cheerful smile.

"All good now? Are you going to handle these types of cases anymore?" Old Song asked with a smile.

"In the future? Let's talk about the future later. Right now, I just want to get back to the law firm. I've really had enough of the hospital," Old Tang replied with a smile himself.

On a day burdened with system tasks, one can never stop running. But with this collision, things in the future would be much easier.
