What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"Wait a moment, just wait, you're Lawyer Tang, right? No, you took on Cheng Dashan's case, what are you here for?" Huo Ming asked again.

"Two things, one is about the graduation certificate. There's a reason Cheng Nanyan couldn't complete her internship. The internship you arranged is irrelevant to her major, and on the other hand, it's too exhausting, exceeding the national standards," replied Tang Fangjing.

However, before Old Tang could finish, Huo Ming cut in: "Don't start with that useless talk to me. Cheng Nanyan came back on her own, and she didn't finish the internship as required."

"We made it clear when she enrolled, the internship is mandatory."

"Yeah, I know that. So, the second thing is about Cheng Nanyan's internship income. This income is clearly different from that of a social worker..." Lawyer Tang continued.

Huo Ming, listening to the voice on the phone, suddenly wondered if the other side had a problem with their brain.

He's talking about the graduation certificate, and the other side, as if they hadn't heard him, kept going on about how the internship income was different.

"This lawyer, wait a minute, did you not hear what I said? I said the internship is mandatory, no internship, no graduation certificate, didn't you understand?" Huo Ming said impatiently.

On the phone, Old Tang's very serious voice came through: "I heard you, I said I know, and then I began talking about the second issue, any problem with that?"

Huo Ming was at a loss for words; there seemed to be no issue, but why wasn't he rebutting?

This isn't following the usual script; after I finished speaking, shouldn't he be rebutting me directly on this issue?

Old Tang on the other end of the phone didn't care about these things and continued, "Overall, for a month, these students earn a thousand and some less than social workers."

"In the second year, the work-study is three months, so that's more than three thousand, nearly four thousand lost. I want to know, where did this money go?"

Huo Ming looked at the principal sitting across from him and then said, "You shouldn't be asking us about these matters. Go ask the factory, they only pay so much."

"Oh, I see. So, no graduation certificate if the internship isn't sufficient, that's the school's policy, and anything to do with work is the factory's issue, nothing to do with the school, right? Then no problem, thanks for your answer, Principal Huo."

Beep beep beep...

Huo Ming looked at his phone with a puzzled expression, wondering what the caller had actually said.

Principal Mou Chunlai on the other side asked, "From your tone, it sounds like the caller was a lawyer? What's going on?"

Huo Ming explained what had just happened and ended with, "I don't know what's up with Tang Fangjing. He asked two questions, didn't argue, didn't do anything, just hung up."

Laughing at this, Mou Chunlai said, "No problem, it's just a lawyer. We weren't really going to withhold the graduation certificate. Hey, wait a minute, what was that lawyer's name?"

It was then that Mou Chunlai suddenly realized something—this lawyer's name sounded very familiar.

"Named Tang Fangjing... isn't he the lawyer who got hit by a car on the internet?"

"That's him, from Tengda Law Firm. No, how could Cheng Nanyan's dad afford such a lawyer?" Huo Ming also realized, his face blank with astonishment.

"Who knows? You hurry and call this Tang Fangjing, tell him we're willing to issue the graduation certificate. Let me tell you, this guy's nuts; once he gets a hold of you, he doesn't let go!" Mou Chunlai urged anxiously.

Huo Ming dialed again.

"Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later..."

After several attempts, all with the same response, Huo Ming said with a cold face, "He must've blocked my number."

"Use mine!" Mou Chunlai pulled out his phone and offered.

However, the first time it connected, as soon as they said it was from Wufang College, the call was disconnected.

"Why, what's with this guy? I only said one thing, and now we can't even get in contact with him," Huo Ming complained unhappily.

"Try Cheng Dashan's number, see if that goes through?" suggested Mou Chunlai.

After a few more attempts, it was clear they were also blocked.

"Then let him be, what can a lawyer do anyway? At most we lose a lawsuit, so let him complain if he wants!" Mou Chunlai declared.

Managing to keep such a large college going for so long meant having connections at higher levels, so let him complain.

In any case, they would ultimately issue the graduation certificates, and after a complaint is made, they could sort it out with no issues.

Vocational colleges raking in headhunting fees weren't rare, and they were not scared.

Meanwhile, at Tengda Law Firm in Jingzhou, Old Tang was sorting out documents while humming a tune.

He wasn't actually planning to give them any chance; he was just toying with them on the phone.

These people had already formed such habits that they didn't see anything wrong with their behavior.

Moreover, he was sure that if he tried to find a fault from Jingzhou, it would be difficult.

Cheng Dashan had reported the issue before, but astonishingly, the reply suggested taking the legal route, which was absurd.

This had nothing to do with the school's policies; it was a clear violation.

So, if he were to report it, it would most likely end up in an administrative lawsuit with the education department, and the outcome was hard to predict.

Therefore, he couldn't go to Jingzhou!

On the contrary, at the place of the internship, Dongfang City in Jiangguang Province, that technical school surely had no connections.

Thinking it's not wrong to use graduation certificates to coerce students into labor...

Once he broadened his thinking, everything seemed criminal.

He made his way to Old Wang's office, where Old Wang was busy working, and then he heard a voice.

"Director Wang, I need to go on a business trip to Jiangguang Province."

Old Wang looked up, puzzled, "A business trip? To Jiangguang Province? Wasn't the last case you took in Jingzhou? Why travel so far?"
