Chapter 106: Chapter 79: Do you really have to sue our school?_3
At last, we get to meet the person in charge. You seem quite approachable.
Kang Fengwei quickly reached out to shake hands, and then said, "Lawyer Tang, hello, I'm the vice-principal of No. 57 Middle School, my name is Kang Fengwei. It's like this, you've taken on a case suing our school, could there be some misunderstanding?"
Old Tang shook his head, "No misunderstanding at all, what misunderstanding could there be? My client's daughter has been continuously bullied at your school, and according to regulations, your school has a responsibility to manage this, right? But you didn't manage it at all."
"Suing your school to take responsibility is quite normal, isn't it?"
"That is indeed normal, but what I mean to say is, we can discuss whatever matters, right? There's no need to make a fuss all the way to court, there's really no need for that." Kang Fengwei hurriedly said.
"If you feel that the school needs to compensate or anything else, then just make it clear..."
He talks as if by simply mentioning it, the school would comply.
He knew these institutions all too well. If you talk nicely to them, they definitely won't listen carefully, especially when you're also asking for money.
So, might as well skip all those intermediate steps and go directly to court, much better.
"The request has already been made, haven't you received a copy of the complaint? Just satisfy the demands listed there, and we will naturally withdraw the lawsuit."
Upon hearing this, Kang Fengwei immediately felt elated; he hadn't misread Lawyer Tang, who indeed seemed very easy to talk to.
He quickly got up and made a call to the principal.
"Principal Lou, he's easy to talk to. He said if we satisfy the demands, he will withdraw the suit. It seems he just wants to make some money."
Inside the school, Lou Yandong flipped through the copy of the complaint, quickly finding the demands.
The school to bear the fault and compensate twenty thousand yuan, and also to make a public apology through major media outlets, admitting there indeed was a lack of management which led to the occurrence of bullying at school.
After reading these demands, Lou Yandong said directly, "Tell them money is negotiable, but forget about that public apology."
The school's problems always get pushed down the hierarchy, but with this public apology, along with admitting there was a lack of management leading to bullying?
How then is he supposed to do his job as principal? The higher-ups would definitely have his head!
With so many cases of insufficient bullying management at the school, and it's long-term, what about you guys, the educational supervising department? Do you not have any responsibility?
Good, the other party seems easy to talk to, so...
That's how people are; give them an inch and they'll take a mile. The nicer you are, the more they might think you're easy to bully.
Kang Fengwei ended the call, feeling that this should be negotiable.
"Lawyer Tang, I've contacted our leaders, and the leader's intent is that the money is negotiable, but that apology, isn't it a bit too much? After all, you see..."
However, before Kang Fengwei could finish, he saw the man opposite him, Tang Fangjing, completely change his expression.
The previously smiling face vanished without a trace, turning into one with no emotions at all.
"If it's 'a bit too much,' then let's not look at it. We'll just see each other in court, you can go back."
WTF? Does this guy have a dog face, flipping just like that?
"No, Lawyer Tang, if you're going to be like this..."
"Like what? Since you've already said you won't agree, do you still expect me to smile? I don't have kids, and I don't plan on having any in the future. I have no vulnerabilities, what can you do to me?"
Kang Fengwei: "..." How did it get back to vulnerabilities? Has he gone mad?
Wanting to say something more, however, the man across from him, Tang Fangjing, gave him no chance.
"You're not leaving? Let me tell you, I have a mental illness, currently in a critical phase, unable to control myself, and I might attack someone at any moment!"
"I've already informed you of the situation. If you don't leave and get beaten, it's not my fault!"
Is this guy for real?
But the next second, Kang Fengwei decisively took off because he saw the other man take out a certificate.
Old Tang watched Kang Fengwei flee in haste and laughed loudly; in his previous life, he found people like this extremely annoying.
They won't leave when you ask them to, just bothering you there. Clearly, the issue cannot be resolved, yet they keep pestering you.
Calling the police might work for the day, but the person would come back the next day, the day after, constantly a nuisance.
Now it's better; I've already told you that I'm going through a phase of intermittent mental illness, showed you the diagnostic report, mentioned that when I get sick I might hit people. If you still don't leave, then even if I beat you, it's your fault.
Indeed, once you go crazy, everything becomes easier to handle...
At No. 57 Middle School, in the principal's office, Lou Yandong listened to Kang Fengwei's report with a dumbfounded expression.
The same thought emerged in his mind, can a madman still be a lawyer?
This is just ridiculous!
"Which authority oversees lawyers? The bar association, right? Can't we talk to the bar association about him?"
Kang Fengwei shook his head, "It's useless, Principal. I've already asked; he filed a complaint during his internship and got the bar association's leadership replaced."
"There must be a department that manages lawyers, right? Through connections, there's always someone who can handle it!"
After searching, they found out that, ultimately, lawyers are indeed under the jurisdiction of the Justice Bureau.
That should make things easier.
However, after making inquiries through connections, the Justice Bureau straight up said they couldn't intervene.
His actions didn't have any issues, so how could they manage it.
Other lawyers might compromise, but this guy, the Justice Bureau staff all knew he was one who would definitely not budge.
The judicial authorities were very clear about the bar association affair.
The bar association leadership tried to intercede but got no compliance, used the bar association to pressure him, and eventually the bar association leadership was replaced.
Now not only is he a formally licensed lawyer, but he's also the lawyer who was stabbed while fighting for the rights of migrant workers. Can you force him now?
