Chapter 50: Chapter 46: Life with Cheats is Just That Boring (Combined)
The office of Yuefu Residential Complex's committee, Tang Fangjing's face showed a trace of urgency.
"Sister Zhao, hasn't it arrived yet? Why is it taking so long?"
Beside him, Zhao Ruixia looked rather helpless and said, "Director Tang, you've asked me three times in ten minutes. Whether the money has arrived depends on the court, but they did promise it would be today."
During the previous period, the Guangming District Court had auctioned off mansions and luxury cars that had been voluntarily returned or seized, plus the funds previously frozen by the property management, aiming for a one-time execution.
Of course, it wasn't really going to be as much as requested in the lawsuit, with over three million missing. This was an amount that couldn't be executed and retrieved; for some expenditures, the court couldn't create money out of thin air.
Fortunately, the task was handled by the economic investigation unit; they seized everything that should be seized right off the bat.
But Tang Fangjing didn't care. As long as the money reached the committee's account, his mission would be officially completed. Nearly half a year had passed, and he had been considering going to the enforcement office every day if not for the timely refresh of his next task.
"The money's in, it's in!" shouted Zhao Ruixia, who served as the committee's accountant.
Simultaneously, Tang Fangjing quickly looked at his personal panel. The task completion showed: 400%, that felt really great!
Two hundred percent is already double the completion rate!
Two hundred equates to one year, so four hundred... that must be at least a decade, right...
Finally, the system's voice rang out with a reward for exceeding the task quota: his original reward of one-year lifespan remained unchanged, and on top of that...
"Pain Shielding?"
Tang Fangjing was taken aback, not that the reward was bad, but it was too good!
Late-stage cancer brought not only a reduced lifespan but also countless agonies.
This was also why many people were curious about what exactly he aimed for by doing those things, such as going door-to-door campaigning; he gave far more than the average person did.
A few interns, Niu Ma, were genuinely admiring of Lawyer Tang. They knew that sometimes he would suddenly sit down while walking, holding his stomach, his forehead dripping with sweat, his face contorted in pain.
And now, the System's reward for exceeding the task was Pain Shielding, which meant Old Tang would no longer have to worry about the pain brought by cancer.
A year of lifespan had already been infused, bringing his life balance to over a year and a half, and Pain Shielding took effect at the same time, sweeping away all the previous pain.
Tang Fangjing felt like he had become a normal person... no, the benefits brought by Pain Shielding seemed to be even greater...
After embarking on this path, Old Tang knew he would definitely face some illegal affairs. The law is certainly not omnipotent, and someday someone might give him big trouble.
At that time, he definitely needed the ability to protect himself. Thinking about it, with Pain Shielding, he could also pull off some major moves!
A life of cheating is just so dull and uninteresting, sigh.
However, the extent of this Pain Shielding still requires testing...
"Now that the money has arrived, let's proceed as planned and convene an emergency owners' meeting."
How to spend the money from public earnings certainly can't be decided by the committee alone. It's just the right time to hold an owners' meeting and let everyone see the work results.
Manager Liu is now the designated director for the committee and swiftly began busy with this initiative.
As for Tang Fangjing, he did not meddle further. Given his current situation, at the very least, he could not have any ethical blemishes.
These days, the best way to attack a person is through morality, one way being money and the other women, especially the latter.
Low attacks always create the most traffic and intrigue people the most, and netizens also love to chatter about these matters. It's human nature, unavoidable for anyone.
Moreover, Tang Fangjing had taken on a new case and had certainly to start preparing. According to normal thinking, it would suffice to claim a certain amount in attorney fees.
But if it were handled just like that, the completion rate would only be a hundred percent, not to mention the essence of this mission, which is to educate those unscrupulous lawyers and law firms through the law!
Lawyers all have professional liability insurance, you heard that right. It's a compulsory payment, much like compulsory automobile insurance, every lawyer has it.
So, if a lawyer truly makes an oversight, compensation under one million is usually covered by the insurance company.
Fighting cases for a long time with no harm to the lawyer would not yield a high completion rate.
Hence, to achieve two hundred percent or even exceed that, there are still two paths: either demand more money or have someone put behind bars...
While pondering how to proceed, his phone rang, and upon checking, he saw it was Ju Haiqing.
"Hello, Great Writer Ju, what's up? Oh, you're at the court, they're saying it's the finalizing and they want your signature? Li Changming is there too, right? Okay, I'll come now."
After hanging up, Tang Fangjing quickly notified Old Song, who in theory was the lawyer for this case.
Soon after arriving at the Tengda building, Tang Fangjing met Old Song.
"What's the matter, you seem like you've just had an argument?"
The displeased Old Song, dressed in a suit, said, "Of course, it's about your case. Old Wang feels that this kind of case is still not suitable to take on, so I had to have a serious talk with him."
"Why shouldn't this kind of case be taken? Scared of what..."
Old Tang listened to these words with great satisfaction on the side. All his ideological education wasn't in vain; Old Song had really improved a lot.
What couldn't be taken on? It's just offending their peers. In his previous life, he offended so many fellow lawyers and yet he still lived well.
