Chapter 850: Chapter 273 Tang Fangjing: I Actually Don’t Like Criminal Law

Tengda Law Firm has recently made another big move.

But to be precise, they haven’t changed much on the inside; it’s mainly the exterior, particularly the glass curtain wall they’ve rented out, which has been turned into a huge Tengda advertisement.

On the glass curtain wall, there are huge photos of Old Wang and Old Tang, of course with Old Wang’s name at the front, followed by the words “Director of Tengda Law Firm.”

And after Old Tang’s name it says “Senior Partner of Tengda Law Firm.”

But right now, Old Tang is standing downstairs at Tengda, looking up at this advertisement, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation. Old Wang is a good guy in every other aspect, except that he’s particularly fixated on the title of director.

It’s quite interesting that he’s come up with such a marketing ploy out of the blue.

...

Thinking this, Old Tang strides into Tengda in his square-stepping gait; the law firm has rented the entire building from top to bottom.

Moreover, Old Wang has another hidden thought, which is to buy the building, just like that law firm in the capital city and have his own Lawyer’s Tower!

Because a bunch of study groups have joined the firm recently, the number of people in the office has visibly increased.

However, there are many offices in the law firm now, so even if the number doubled, there would still be room for everyone.

When Old Tang enters the door, the waiting students immediately start to greet him.

“Director Tang, good morning!”

“Director, we’ve made a special report after we went back yesterday…”

“Director, also…”

Old Tang replies with a smile, “Don’t rush, let’s go upstairs to the conference room and study this in detail.”

After saying this, he turns to Old Wang at the entrance of the director’s office not far away: “Hey Old Wang, I may sign a case today, don’t leave yet.”

Old Wang nods his head, that guy actually asked him in the morning why he made that advertisement – are you kidding me? Don’t you, Tang Fangjing, know the reason?

Forget it, work is more important, I won’t stoop to argue with this guy!

Old Wang turns back to his office to get busy, and in another corner, Zhang Wei is nodding with satisfaction.

This was, of course, his masterpiece. The students are so simple-minded; initially, everyone called him Lawyer Tang, but after Zhang Wei deliberately called him Director Tang a few times in front of everyone, the students also started calling him Director.

The students aren’t ones to think too much…

Zhang Wei did this purely out of boredom; he isn’t interested in the recent cases, it’s true, the same Lawyer Zhang who would pounce on a case like a mad dog, now starts to pick and choose.

In the second-floor main conference room, Old Tang begins to listen to the students’ reports.

“It’s currently quite difficult to prove that the former boss had malicious intent, whether it’s fraud or contractual fraud,” Yin Xueqing said first.

But for fraud, the primary purpose must be illegal possession!

Economic crimes like fraud and contractual fraud are areas where lawyers often excel. There’s a considerable space for maneuver between civil fraud and criminal fraud.

The reason for directly seeking criminal charges is that everyone is now a inheritor of Old Tang’s legacy, holding the view that solving individuals is faster, simpler, and more convenient than solving problems!

Of course, the method of solving individuals also matters; there must be solid evidence to take action. Otherwise, if you don’t resolve the person, and instead you’re the one charged with false accusation and entrapment, it would probably become another joke in the legal community.

Hearing this, Old Tang speaks up, “Ahem, let me say something; first of all, I actually don’t like criminal law. I’m not interested in criminal law, so please don’t get me wrong.”

The students: “(°ー°〃)”

Yin Xueqing opens her mouth but doesn’t dare to speak. What she really wants to say is that Lawyer Tang, you don’t like criminal law, but you like sending people away, you favor criminal punishments…

As everyone knows, wherever Lawyer Tang goes, even the dogs on the street would have to be sentenced to life imprisonment.

“Criminal law is modest, and that’s something we all know,” Old Tang calmly states. “So, if a problem can be solved with another law, then there’s no need to resort to criminal law.”

“But, there’s always a lot of people who want to challenge the boundaries of the law, relying on their legal knowledge, they deceive hard-earned money from ordinary people by various means. At such times, we can see that the civil legal framework has effectively failed in this issue.”

Hearing this, the students nod in unison.

Can the law fail? On the surface, it seems not, as the law is the law after all.

However, when it comes to the issue of professional store-shutdown agitators, the Civil Code indeed has no solutions.

“So at this time, we must use criminal law, the bottom line law of society, to crack down, and to do so harshly, to put down the insolence of the professional store-shutdown agitators!

“Only by letting them know that the cost of being a professional store-shutdown merchant is much higher than the money they earn, can we restore order to the market,” Old Tang declares decidedly.

The students start clapping with solemn respect!

They believe in Tang Fangjing, because that’s exactly how he has been operating from the beginning.

Yet what they can’t see is that in the eyes of Old Tang, there’s also a hint of helplessness.

The issue was never merely a legal one; in fact, any problem you think the law can’t solve is actually an economic problem.

On the surface, there are legal regulations, and as long as you follow the procedures to file a case or a lawsuit, it should be a matter for civil law if it’s civil, criminal law if it’s criminal. There shouldn’t be a situation where civil law can’t manage, and criminal law won’t intervene.
