Chapter 121: Chapter 83: Passing the Buck, Huh? I'll Make You All Pass It!_2
"Let them be; that lawyer probably just wants to make some money—go ahead and sue,"
The most they could do is put a restriction on Zhou Chenghe's height, but that guy already has so many height restrictions on him, it doesn't make a difference.
In cases of height restrictions, there are plenty of solutions. Many creditors think that by imposing a height restriction on someone, it would make that person miserable, but in reality, it only troubles ordinary people.
Business owners have numerous ways to enjoy life.
After hesitating for a moment, President Wang still said, "It's just that the lawyer seems a bit off, like there's something wrong with his brain. Right, he even has a certificate for mental illness..."
The hot tea in Li Shuwei's mouth instantly sprayed out.
"Do you realize what you're saying? The lawyer has a certificate for mental illness?"
President Wang was quite sure, "He really does, so I suspect he might be a fake lawyer. That being the case, President Li, I'll look into his information to see which law firm he's from."
"Alright, do that and let me know if there's news."
After hanging up, Li Shuwei didn't concern himself with any lawyer; the unfinished building had been sitting for years without issue, what could one lawyer possibly do.
...
Next door to the company, Old Tang had already agreed with the property owners to all go to Tengda and sit down together to discuss solutions to this matter.
He went back first on his electric bike; there really was no need to explain anything to Old Wang.
That one move by President Lei didn't just make Tang Fangjing famous, it also brought renown to Tengda Law Firm.
You must remember one thing, the endgame for lawyers is sales.
Thanks to President Lei, many of Tengda's lawyers were no longer short on cases, so Tang Fangjing could now do as he pleased, and Old Wang agreed after only a moment of hesitation.
Otherwise, without any benefits, but bringing so much risk to the firm, Old Tang would have been fired a long time ago.
So everyone kept an unspoken agreement: do whatever you want to do, I'll handle the pressures for you, and by the way, help raise Tengda's profile as well.
"Miss Xiao Yan, Miss Xiao Yan, prepare the big conference room for me, I'll have a lot of clients coming in later."
After giving the instruction, Old Tang began to prepare the materials, but after sitting down, he realized that he had been quite comfortable giving orders to this young lady recently...
No, that still wouldn't do; it was best not to get too close to any one person. With a terminal illness and the system with him, he was destined to be a lone wolf. Better not to harm that young girl's future.
Unaware of Tang Fangjing's thoughts, Miss Xiao Yan simply did as instructed, as she was a salaried lawyer and the director had told her before, "If Lawyer Tang instructs you, just do it."
"Brother Tang, everything is arranged; do you need me to pour some water?"
"No need for that, I'll be doing most of the talking. You go on with your work."
Twenty minutes later, the large conference room was full. Property owners sat there, looking at Tang Fangjing, wondering what solutions this Lawyer Tang could propose.
Old Tang cleared his throat and began to speak, "The current situation is approximately this: Jin Ma Company's accounts are definitely empty. Who brought their purchase contract today?"
The previous lady pulled out a contract and said, "I brought it, Lawyer Tang, take a look."
Old Tang took the contract and flipped through it—the funds did indeed enter the escrow account.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Under normal circumstances, everyone's purchase funds are supposed to be specially allocated for specific purposes and should go into an escrow account, which is the guarantee whether the building can be delivered or not."
"Now the problem is, the building isn't finished yet, and the money is gone, leading to the unfinished construction."
"So, if we want to take legal action, we first need to know what happened with the escrow account funds. The money that should be allocated for specific purposes—who transferred it out without authorization?"
"And after the money was transferred out, where did it go, what was it used for?"
After giving a brief explanation of the situation, the property owners began to discuss among themselves. One of them said, "Lawyer Tang, we've also seen stuff like this online."
"But the problem is, the bank people say the escrow account is managed by the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, and they have no authority to handle it. Yet when we ask the Housing Bureau, they suggest we apply with the bank. Isn't this just passing the buck?"
Old Tang smiled; this situation was all too familiar. In fact, many times simply gathering the three parties together in one place would reveal who's in charge. read-on-NovelFire
Unfortunately, in real life, you can't achieve that.
"How did you approach them?" Old Tang asked.
A property owner recalled and said, "We just went and asked directly. At the time, we were coming out to defend our rights. Someone mentioned the escrow account matter, so we first went to the bank that gave the loan, Jingzhou Bank. The staff there just gave us a sentence and ignored us."
"We had no choice but to go to the Housing Bureau, where someone said it wasn't their responsibility."
"You were using the wrong approach. Don't go asking questions like that. Do you understand?" Old Tang took out a document from his briefcase and said, "See, if you want to apply for information disclosure like that, we must follow the legal procedures!"
"It must be done with a formal application, official written documents."
"That way, the staff can't just say anything—they have to respond strictly following the legal procedures, within the designated time frame. Got it?"
"One step at a time, the situation isn't clear right now. If we rashly initiate litigation, we'll only spend a lot of money without getting any results. Let's first clear up the issue with the escrow account, then move on to other matters."
In a society governed by the rule of law, legal avenues have this advantage.
If you follow procedures, they must also follow procedures to respond to you. If they drag their feet, after the designated time has passed, you can initiate administrative reconsideration, or administrative litigation.
