What's wrong with this lawyer?!

The Judgment Chief was also helpless; after consulting with the legal affairs director of the developer, he promptly reconvened the court and issued a judgment on the spot!

"The court believes that both parties have signed the subscription agreement based on their true intentions... After review, whether the clauses claimed by the plaintiff are invalid does not substantially affect the effectiveness of the pre-sale contract for the commercial housing..."

"In summary, the judgment is as follows:"

"The court orders the continuation of the contract's execution, rejects the plaintiff's requests, and the plaintiff shall bear the cost of litigation (already paid in advance)."

As for whether the overbearing terms in the contract should be deemed invalid, it is recommended to file a separate lawsuit.

The judgment was rendered, and Wang Dengfeng's complexion was very poor, but it was also okay; having lost was just a matter of gaining experience. At the very least, he now knew that the developers had changed from before.

The reasoning part of the judgment was quite lengthy, mainly because the court believed that under these circumstances, if the plaintiff was adjudicated to have breached the contract, then they would indeed not get a penny of the earnest money back.

Considering that the plaintiff was in a weaker position and, most importantly, the real estate company had filed a countersuit demanding the continuation of the contract's execution, so, just fine, it was ruled that execution should proceed directly.

Wang Dengfeng didn't plan to appeal any further; appealing was meaningless, as the court was already taking care of their side with this situation.

After the judgment, the legal affairs director came over and said to Lv Ziyang, "Mr. Lv, since you don't intend to appeal, we should quickly execute the ruling and hurry to sign the pre-sale contract."

"This time the boss above took care of you, thinking it wasn't easy for your family to gather this amount of money. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, we definitely wouldn't fulfill the contract or refund the money, understand?"

After leaving that comment, the legal affairs director added, "And don't believe what those lawyers say."

After speaking, the legal affairs director turned and left.

Lv Ziyang hesitated, "Lawyer Wang, do you think we should appeal now..."

Wang Dengfeng's face was frighteningly dark: "Appeal? Are you going to finance it? If you provide the money, then I'll appeal. The contract was only signed for the first trial, not for the second trial.

"Don't look at me, I'm telling you, for this case, it's no use whoever takes over, do you understand? Even if your classmate Tang Fangjing comes, the result will be the same, take my word for it!"

"If he could win this case, I would change my surname to his!"

After dropping those words, Wang Dengfeng also left with his bag, leaving Lv Ziyang and his wife sitting there in a daze.

Lv Ziyang let out a wry smile. He had listened to the court proceedings, and it seemed from a legal standpoint that indeed they were the ones with the problem. However, with the property potentially becoming unfinished, getting into that mess was out of the question.

This was also a tactic in the sale of commercial properties: first, get you to pay a deposit or subscription fee, then little by little, by the time you sense something is wrong and want to back out, the sunk costs are already too much to bear, so you're compelled to continue.

After much hesitation, Lv Ziyang still decided to contact his classmate, although this Lawyer Wang said it was impossible to win... but what if his classmate did win?

At Tengda, Old Tang was browsing videos; there was another attack on a lawyer in Hannan Province. It was unclear how the internet was reacting, but the legal community was certainly abuzz.

Many lawyers came forward to express their views, many tagging Old Tang to get him to speak out, since he was indeed the one who had been attacked multiple times.

However, Old Tang had no intention of saying anything, at least not right now.

In fact, in Old Tang's previous life, attacks on lawyers weren't uncommon, nor were attacks on judges. Even those with no knowledge of law knew that you can't reason with the attacker at such a time.

Old Tang had also told some of his apprentices to wear sneakers when dealing with certain 'sensitive' cases, where you could legally make a lot of money but might leave already destitute people worse off, so that it was easier to flee if you got beaten up...

Moreover, when in court, don't provoke the other party; you can win your case without those taunts.

And then there's the talking point some lawyers hold dear, that a lawyer only serves their client, protects their client's legal rights, and needn't consider anything else.

But the problem arises because "Lawyers' Law" clearly stipulates in Article 2 that lawyers shall protect the legal rights of clients, ensure the correct implementation of the law, and uphold social fairness and justice.

So, speaking frankly, how many lawyers have violated the "Lawyers' Law," or is it that these lawyers haven't even remembered the "Lawyers' Law"...

Shaking his head, Old Tang left them to their disputes; Tang Fangjing would prove everything through his actions.

At that moment, his cell phone rang. Picking it up, he saw it was an unfamiliar number, but with nothing else pressing, he answered immediately.

"Hello, Tang... Lawyer Tang, this is Lv Ziyang, from Computer Science Class 2..."

What? Old Tang was suddenly stunned. Lv Ziyang from Class 2 of the Computer Science Department—that seemed to be a college classmate of his original self. After his own transmigration, it seemed he had never been in contact with his former college classmates.

Speaking of which, it was strange how the original self didn't have any close friends in college...

Though surprised by the "old classmate's" phone call, Old Tang still said, "Oh, Lv Ziyang, what can I do for you?"

On the phone, Lv Ziyang hesitated before saying, "I've run into a case, just lost at trial, and I'm wondering if you could help me out."

"Tell me what kind of case it is first."

Lv Ziyang then briefly described the case situation and concluded with, "Mainly... mainly, I really have no other options, if this continues and it ends up abandoned, then I..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Old Tang could basically imagine the other party's situation.

"Wang Dengfeng, right? I've heard of this lawyer. If I win the case, he'll take my surname, won't he? All right, come over, let's come to the firm and talk in detail."

After hanging up, Old Tang shook his head. The matter of the house left him at a loss for words.

Everyone else is as pure as ice, and it's only the homeowners who put out money that have a problem. Who told you to buy presale property...

Yashi Company, Old Tang remembered hearing news about this company going bust in The Capital last month, with some regional branches already completely fallen apart.

Anyway, there was nothing to do for the moment, so he decided to get this sorted out before the legal aid case files arrived.

It wasn't long before Lv Ziyang and his family arrived at the entrance of Tengda.

Lv Jianshe looked at the giant signboard of Tengda and then at the electronic board that said something like Director of Tengda, hesitatingly saying, "Ziyang, is your classmate really here?"

Mainly because it looked too upscale, it didn't seem like a place ordinary people could enter.

Lv Ziyang nodded, about to say something, when he saw an unfamiliar figure appear before him: "Old Lv is here, ah, the whole family has come, come on in."

Waiting at the entrance was Tang Fangjing—after all, as an old classmate, he had come out specially to welcome them.

Lv Ziyang hurriedly nodded, leading his family inside.

Thanks to Old Wang's continuous efforts, the decoration of Tengda had one distinguishing feature: expensive!

You might deny Old Wang's taste, but you could not deny the money.

In any case, Lv Ziyang's family was all a bit dizzy from the sight, and various suited professionals kept coming and going, greeting Tang Fangjing.

"Director Tang, good day."

They were so courteous it made Lv Ziyang somewhat envious. Everyone had come from the same school, but just a few years after graduating, their worlds were poles apart.

Soon they arrived at the office, and Old Tang began, "Qingqing, go pour some water. Everyone, please take a seat. Lv Ziyang and I are old classmates, so there's no need to be formal."

Struck by Wang Qingqing's beauty, Lv Ziyang hardly dared to look her way and quickly took out the judgment and handed it over, saying, "Director... Director Tang, this is the judgment."

Old Tang didn't mind, took it, and began reading immediately, muttering as he read, "This case signed a risk agency contract, that Lawyer Wang seems a bit confident."

"His method isn't wrong, it's just that times have changed, and he probably didn't expect the developers to be so humble now."

After finishing reading and putting down the judgment, Old Tang promptly asked, "You said earlier that the company advertised there would be a supporting primary school, right?"

"Yes, I and the other homeowners inquired and they all said it probably won't happen, but the company kept saying there is a plan, just that it would be later, so I don't know what to do..."

"Wait a moment, let me make a call and ask."

Not long after, Old Tang came back from his call, looked at Lv Ziyang in front of him, and said, "All right, now I need to ask you, what are your demands? Return of the deposit? Or is there something else?"

Huh? Now it was Lv Ziyang's turn to be bewildered. There could be something else?
