What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 1: Chapter 1 It Would Be Better Not to Cross Than This! (New Author, New Book, Please Follow and Read!)

"Terminal liver cancer, probably three to four months to live..."

Staring at the medical report before him, Tang Fangjing was stunned for quite a while before he crazily grabbed the several small white bottles, and indeed, they were sleeping pills!

So this guy was already wearing the shroud of terminal illness, with only a few months left to live, hence the decision to hide at home and commit suicide, which led to my transmigration.

This... what's the point of transmigration, to let myself experience a few more months of despair?

But in my previous life I was just a lawyer... maybe because of the same name?

But thinking about all this now is useless. Probably because of having seen the medical report, Tang Fangjing could already feel that kind of pain, and dying in agony is the norm in the late stage of cancer.

The notification sound from WeChat on his phone rang again, and Tang Fangjing picked up his phone blankly, he should have thought of it earlier, what kind of despair could drive a young person to suicide...

Opening WeChat, there were all these red dots, and in a group called "Bluebird Family," he was being frantically mentioned!

"@Operation Xiao Tang, what are you doing, there's something wrong with your product, and the clients have come to me!"

"@Operation Xiao Tang, why aren't you replying!"

"@Operation Xiao Tang..."

They were all urging him to reply immediately, and later on, even voice messages were being sent, the tone of which was getting worse and worse.

So this was a work-related group, it seemed like he was being wildly summoned by the department manager.

And who knows when it started, perhaps it was after the advancement of various communication apps, but the line between work and off-hours was becoming increasingly blurred; going home after work didn't mean work was over.

Because you might have to be constantly checking your phone...

In order not to expose any slips, Tang Fangjing still replied: "Sorry, Manager Liu, I just fell asleep and didn't see it, and I have already clocked out."

His mind was in chaos at the moment, as if his memory hadn't fully merged after transmigration, so he replied casually based on his understanding.

Soon after, "Operation Manager Liu" from the group sent another voice message.

"Fell asleep? Which young person goes to sleep before midnight these days? What are you pretending for, huh? How come others can reply promptly, but you can't?"

"And you're off work? So what? Does being off work mean you can completely throw your work aside? It's not like I'm asking you to do anything difficult. Can't you just solve the client's problem?"

Already extremely irritable because of his limited months left, Tang Fangjing couldn't hold back any longer!

"No way, I'm telling you it's not possible, did you hear that? I've already told you I'm off work, if you can't understand human speech then go learn it, got it?"

After saying so, Tang Fangjing turned off his phone. The original body might have tolerated you guys, but I certainly won't!

On the other side, Department Manager Liu, upon hearing that shouted reply, his face turned extremely ugly. This was, after all, the company's large group!

The leaders of the company were all in there, and he wanted to show them that he was still working at this hour, to let the leaders see his efforts.

But things took an unexpected turn; he never dreamed that Tang Fangjing, the normally quiet and compliant man, would dare to scold him directly in the group chat!

How dare he! In the past, even at eleven o'clock at night or at two or three in the morning, he was always promptly responsive to messages, and he'd answer phone calls on weekends. What got into him today? Was he on the warpath?

In this situation, a return volley would certainly not do, but fortunately, there are always clever people in the company.

"Operation Xiao Zhang": Xiao Tang, what are you saying? How can you not discern kind words from harsh ones? Manager Liu is also doing this for your own good. What's with the way you're talking? Hurry up and apologize to Manager Liu!

With someone leading the charge, other people also started chiming in, and at last, Manager Liu felt like he had regained some face.

However, letting himself be embarrassed in the company's group chat was not something he would easily let slide. He had to come to work tomorrow, and he didn't believe this honest person would dare to do anything to his face.

Time quickened to the next day, and Tang Fangjing arrived at the company with an expressionless face.

He had to go to work, for his original self was just an ordinary employee without a single legal industry credential.

Meaning that he couldn't take on any cases right now...

He sat down at his own desk, and before he could even turn on the computer, a voice rang out next to him.

"Xiao Tang, come here, your tasks are a bit heavy today. Manager Wang needs these things first thing tomorrow, so you better get started right away."

Tang Fangjing turned his head to look and saw that it was Manager Liu, his face full of smiles, as if last night's argument in the group chat never happened.

It was early in the morning, and the staff of the operations department had just arrived. Some people looked at the pile of materials on Tang Fangjing's desk with schadenfreude, while others showed sympathy…

Humans are really complex creatures. Logically speaking, they're all the same, but there are always those who feel, "Go ahead, confront the boss, you should..."

Meanwhile, Manager Liu continued, "Little Tang, although we had some unpleasantness last night, it was all in the name of work. So, it's nothing, let's just let bygones be bygones."

"It's not aimed at you personally, it's just that President Wang is in a hurry..."

"I know you're upset, thinking that our company has heavy tasks, but you should understand. Look at the current economic winter, the environment is so harsh, and so many companies in our industry are laying off staff!"

"Many people can't find a job for half a year, and you can still sit here working. You need to learn to be grateful, you know. Many people can't even get in…"

However, at this moment, Tang Fangjing interrupted, "You need it by tomorrow, which means working overtime. Do you pay overtime pay?"

Manager Liu looked at the young man in front of him again, who seemed to have changed. He would never dare to ask about overtime pay before!

"Little Tang, you see, you didn't even look at the company's rules and regulations. Our company has a flexible working system; there's no such thing as overtime, you know?"

"Alright, that's all, just do your work well, and who knows, you might even get a raise at the end of the year."

Though he said this, Manager Liu knew that the company had already decided to let Tang Fangjing go.

The company didn't need such a thorn; someone who dared to curse at a supervisor in front of others was seen as corrosive to the harmonious culture of the company!

So, if he couldn't finish the work tomorrow, they would fire him for incompetency.

Anyway, he had only been with the company for two years; even if he went to arbitration, it would be a small sum of money. Besides, it was still up in the air whether he would go.

Just as Manager Liu was about to leave, Tang Fangjing spoke up: "Flexible working hours, right? That means no overtime pay. If it can't be done, then it can't be done. Did you hear clearly?"

What flexible working hours, for a company that requires clocking in and out to claim it has flexible hours, are they kidding?

"Huh?" Manager Liu was a bit bewildered.

"Do you have some sort of hearing condition? I said, it can't be done!"

That feeling again, with the entire department watching, Manager Liu's face darkened as he yelled, "Tang Fangjing, what do you mean, time and time again, huh? Who do you think you are?"

"If you don't want to work, just piss off; nobody will keep you here. What, you think the company can't function without you? What crap, I've seen too many like you before!"

Manager Liu wasn't usually so irritable. In a department of more than a dozen people, there were others who talked back, and he wouldn't get angry over just any backtalk.

The main issue was that Tang Fangjing had always been an obedient person before, and his defiance now had caught Manager Liu off guard.

"You want me to leave? That's fine, just follow the legal procedures, pay me what I'm owed, and I'll go…"

Tang Fangjing was interrupted before he could finish his sentence: "You want money, right? Then go to arbitration. Aren't you post-00s reforming the workplace? Go on then. I'll tell you, you can file whatever complaints you want, but wanting money? No way!"

Of course, Manager Liu knew that if Tang Fangjing went to arbitration, he would win, but it didn't matter, the point was to make it difficult for him.

However, what Manager Liu didn't know was that, as soon as he uttered those words, Tang Fangjing, who was in front of him, was stunned.

A notification sound abruptly resonated in his consciousness.

"Keyword detected, 'Hardcore Lawyer System' activated!"

On a panel that seemed visible only to him, a quiet mission objective appeared.

Mission Objective: Use legal means to educate the company

Mission Progress: 0%

Mission Reward: 50% completion, reward of three days of lifespan

100% completion, reward of one week of lifespan

200% completion, reward of three months of lifespan

All of a sudden, Manager Liu saw that the previously submissive Tang Fangjing suddenly raised his head, and the look in his eyes, was like a wolf that had been starving in the snow for a long time, finding a plump lamb…
