What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 614 - 196: You wanted back 200,000, but I took 400,000, you don’t mind, right?

To be honest, while many netizens deem lawyer’s letters as worthless as scrap paper, Old Tang still finds them somewhat useful.

After all, even a piece of toilet paper or a pair of underwear has its value, so naturally, a lawyer’s letter is valuable too.

Because in certain special times, it can infuriate the other party, and the effect is particularly good.

For example, right now, the legal director hasn’t said anything, but Deng Erfeng, who has just returned from a meeting, is already furious.

"Another lawyer’s letter? What does this mean? What do they take our company for?"

When you get right down to it, this tactic is nothing more than a lawyer’s trick: you don’t want it anymore, but you manipulate the situation in various ways to make the other party breach the contract, thereby aiming to get your deposit back.

However, Old Tang never thought there was anything wrong with this tactic; it was always the people who were the problem.

Take for instance that stalled construction project case from before; the opposing legal counsel was clearly avoiding risks through all sorts of corporate shell games, so that even if something went wrong, you couldn’t trace it back to the actual person in control.

That’s also a lawyer’s tactic. Modern-day legal sharks don’t just do litigation; they also do non-litigation, setting up a bunch of obstacles on your path to rights protection. When trouble arises and you want to defend your rights, good luck taking your time.

Like that previous case with the delivery riders’ labor dispute...

That’s why they say nowadays many lawyers who study law are devoid of humanity, claiming that their actions are official conduct and they are serving their clients, and you should praise them!

Those who criticize me are just legally ignorant; legal education needs to be strengthened.

Deng Erfeng kept ranting non-stop. To put it bluntly, the company -- even with the subcontractors willing to cover costs -- might be in trouble in a few months.

After all, it’s obvious to anyone when a construction site shuts down.

"These damn lawyers are sick in the head, sending lawyer’s letters. What the hell is this? Who’s the lawyer behind this? Do they think I, the general manager, am easy to bully?"

"Put this ten years back, and I’d have turned the tables on anyone daring to send me a lawyer’s letter!"

Next to him, the legal director waited for Deng Erfeng to calm down a bit before speaking, "General Manager Deng, please calm down. This time, Lv Ziyang hired that Tang Fangjing from Tengda."

Tengda, Tang Fangjing...

As Old Tang took on more and more cases and his reputation grew, his name seemed to acquire a sort of magic power, like handcuffs or a chair of regrets, that could forcibly calm those who heard it.

General Manager Deng really did calm down suddenly, with a blank expression on his face, "Is it really that Tang Fangjing?"

The legal director handed over the lawyer’s letter, and after Deng Erfeng read through it carefully, it was indeed from Tang Fangjing.

"No way, Old Niu, what’s going on with this Mr. Tang? Has he really started to believe he’s some kind of saint because of all the praise online? Didn’t that Lv character say he couldn’t even afford the down payment? How could he afford such a lawyer?"

Legal director Old Niu also looked a bit helpless as he responded, "General Manager Deng, I couldn’t possibly know. But one thing is certain, if Tang Fangjing has taken the case, he will definitely go to great lengths with us..."

After thinking it over, General Manager Deng asked, "So what exactly does this lawyer’s letter mean? If the other party sues us, can we deal with it like we did before?"

Old Niu shook his head and pointed to the content of the lawyer’s letter, "General Manager Deng, you see here, they already said that if we don’t add it, then it would be considered a breach on our part, and we’ll need to return double the deposit."

"Double? What the hell does Tang Fangjing think he’s up to! We have to return double just because he sent a lawyer’s letter? Bullshit!" General Manager Deng finally lost his temper and roared.

"If we ignore it, could we win if it goes to court?"

Old Niu hesitated slightly before saying, "With any other lawyer, we would be quite confident, but with Tang Fangjing, I dare not make any guarantees; there could be risks..."

Risk meant the possibility of having to return double the deposit, and for General Manager Deng, it meant this option had to be pushed back. Normally, the company didn’t want to go to court against Tang Fangjing either.

The anger was out, but the problem was still unsolved, and finally, General Manager Deng gritted his teeth, "Or we just agree to add it in, would that work?"

Hearing this, Old Niu hurriedly responded, "No way, General Manager Deng, absolutely not!"

"And why not? The houses have already been sold, so even if it ends up being a stalled project, we won’t have any problems, right? School or no school, what can he do even if he knows there’s a problem?"

Old Niu quickly explained, "It’s not like that, General Manager Deng. Why do we emphasize in the contract that all promotional materials are mere invitations to offer, and that everything is subject to the contract? It’s to avoid this issue!"

"Absolutely, absolutely cannot be written in the contract..."

Many contract clauses may seem extremely intricate, but each phrase has its purpose. What shouldn’t appear in the contract, must never appear!

"General Manager Deng, if you do write it in, to put it seriously, we could be suspected of contract fraud. Do you realize that? Then it wouldn’t just be a matter of refunding money."

Of course, whether this crime would ultimately be charged is ambiguous, since if everything eventually goes smoothly, you indeed get the property. I might just have deceived you a bit, but I didn’t completely scam you.
