What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Seeing the diverse expressions on the faces of his classmates, Old Tang continued, "But personally, I'm very interested in this case. How about this, I could turn it into a teaching case, what do you think?"

"Teaching case?" Li Weiwei was a bit confused.

"Yes, a teaching case. Look, you've all brought up questions to me, and as a teacher, I must provide answers. I can't right now, so I'll have to finish the case first and then explain it to you."

Hearing this, Li Weiwei and the other students present were shocked!

Lawyer Tang's train of thought seemed a bit off. Just to give everyone an answer, he specifically wanted to wrap up the case?

That seemed a bit too outrageous.

"How about it, this student, are you unwilling? It's free, consider it a public service. Of course, for the time being, I can only take on this one case; my energy is limited," Old Tang continued.

His words promptly shut up the other eager students.

These days, who doesn't have some trouble at home? Unfortunately, Lawyer Tang only had one.

"I, of course I'm willing."

"Then it's settled. What's your name, student? Give your contact information to my assistant and, by the way, tell your dad that we'll need to sign a contract on our side."

Teacher Tang went out to eat with that attractive assistant, leaving Li Weiwei a bit stunned. She had only intended to seek some advice, to see if there was any strategy.

Unexpectedly, Lawyer Tang decided to enter the fray and help with the lawsuit...

Although he practiced in Handong Province, Li Weiwei knew that she could never afford a lawyer like Tang Fangjing under normal circumstances.

After some thought, she picked up her phone and dialed the number.

In Qinglv County, Li Fugui squatted at the arbitration committee's doorstep, only to be shooed away by the security guard a little while later, saying it wasn't good to squat there as it looked bad.

Li Fugui could only stand up and walk to the side, just then his phone rang.

"Hello, my girl, how is it, what did your teacher say can be done?"

"Dad, my teacher says he doesn't know how to deal with it for now, but... but he's decided to handle it personally."

Hmm... Huh? Li Fugui was also stunned at the news. "Coming in person? How, how much will it cost, I only have a few hundred dollars at hand right now..."

"Not a penny. He's using this case as a teaching example for labor contract law."

After hanging up, Li Fugui couldn't wrap his head around it for a long time. That Teacher Tang Fangjing really left him at a loss for words.

On the other hand, using the case as an excuse, Old Tang politely declined the university leadership's invitation and took Wang Qingqing out to eat some famous local snacks in Xiping City.

Oh, how delightful it was! After the meal, Old Tang almost felt like he could ascend to heaven.

"Tang Bro, are you really going to take the case?" Wang Qingqing asked on the side.

"Of course, I'm going to take it, and I will achieve the best result!" Old Tang said naturally. "You call Old Wang... I mean, your second father, and update him on the situation, while also getting the office to prepare the contract."

Certainly, I'll do it, thought Li Weiwei. After she finished, the seemingly lifeless system panel suddenly popped up a notification - a new mission had been activated!

Tang Fangjing hadn't taken on a mission in a while, and now that one had finally been activated, he knew he must do it well.

Mission Objective: Educate the heartless takeout company!

Mission Reward: Completion of 50 percent awards three days of life...

Overall, there was no difference from the usual scenario, except for one thing: beneath the system panel, out of nowhere, another progress bar had appeared.

In front of the progress bar was written: Senior Lawyer.

Behind it was marked something like a progress indicator, displaying 5/10.

It was all so sudden, without any explanation, but it felt like turning that 5 into a 10 would trigger some new change in the system.

And to consider himself just a senior lawyer? What a joke!

This only served to prove that the system really existed; it couldn't have been a figment of his imagination. After all, Tang Fangjing was an extremely confident man deep down.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a top lawyer.

But having completed many missions already, why was the number in front only 5? Could there be another meaning?

After thinking long and hard without clarity, all he could do was complete the mission and see what would change.

This case was going to be tough; after hearing Li Wei's account, Old Tang knew it would be difficult.

What exactly classified as a delivery worker and their relationship with the delivery platform was unclear to everyone.

Because the labor contract law could no longer be applied, the labor department coined a new term, naming delivery workers, couriers, and ride-hailing drivers as "new forms of laborers."

But, as Old Tang had ranted plenty of times in his previous life, what new forms? Takeout and ride-hailing have been around for so many years! Explore more adventures at empiren/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

No one knew how to protect the legal rights of these "new forms of laborers"; decisions were based on individual cases, leading to different judgments for similar cases.

In his past life, there had been a case where a deliveryman had dropped dead in the wee hours, and after his death, the delivery platform continued to nag him for being late on several deliveries, docking his pay...

After this incident got exposed, the delivery platform's initial reaction was that it had nothing to do with them, offering a humanitarian compensation of six thousand yuan...

That case ultimately ended with the platform and the outsourcing company jointly paying out one and a half million, but that was an exceptional case.

There were many instances of deliverymen dying suddenly, and those who received substantial compensation almost always relied on public opinion.
