Chapter 159: Teacher Fang, the crowd outside was just too large

In the conference room, Fang Dazhuang wore a smile, looking graceful and poised, as if he had simply seen a peer and wanted to say hello.

His gaze was so harmonious, his tone so calm, yet in the eyes of Liu Dazhuang, it was clearly a death warrant!

Liu Dazhuang had fully reacted by now, his mind a complete blank.

No, that's not right, it couldn't be called a blank; there was only one thought: how could it be such a coincidence, why would he run into the real deal here!

This shock was too great, so great that his heart could barely take it...

Liu Dazhuang was well aware of those rumors, things like "when Fang Dazhuang hits the streets, not even a chicken or dog is left behind."

In short, if Fang Dazhuang encountered a dog on the road, he would have to send that dog in too.

Of course, everyone knew this was a joke; if you hadn't done anything, you naturally had nothing to fear.

The key was that he, Liu Dazhuang, had done things; although it probably wasn't illegal, but... he was just terrified—that was Fang Dazhuang!

He had practiced Litigation, but he only held a C Zheng, which belonged to regions with relaxed requirements; whether others recognized it outside the local area was another matter.

So, when he went to other places to handle Litigation in the past, he would hang his name under someone else's.

This was actually normal; years ago, this phenomenon was very common, and hanging one's certificate under someone else's at a law firm could solve it.

Many big shots with strong "abilities" who lacked a certificate all used this method.

However, even though they lacked a certificate, their "abilities" were truly strong.

By chance, he saw a video from an Up Master and saw that Fang Dazhuang inside.

He immediately realized this was a very good creative idea!

Using his identity as a Lawyer, combined with live-streaming his seriousness, would certainly attract a lot of attention.

So, he subsequently began live-streaming under the name of Lincheng's Liu Dazhuang, and tried his best to imitate that Fang Dazhuang in his dress, appearance, and temperament.

On this point, he was indeed a talent, imitating the charm of Fang Dazhuang's speech very closely.

He was much better than some actors who only knew how to stare!

It was just unexpected that a live stream which could have been his path to taking off would actually encounter the real deal...

Facing Fang Dazhuang's inquiry, sweat began to bead on Liu Dazhuang's forehead.

Of course, he had never worked in the Imperial Capital; all those previous claims were made up by himself, and now if you asked him to talk about it, it was truly putting him on the spot.

"That... Teacher Fang, what a coincidence, Teacher Fang, to actually run into you here..." After hesitating for a moment, Liu Dazhuang hurriedly said.

He was live-streaming; he absolutely could not stay silent!

It was just that Liu Dazhuang still hadn't figured out why Fang Dazhuang's look at him was so wrong.

Could it be just because he imitated him?

In the conference room, Director Yin had been a bit worried, but was stunned upon hearing the words "Teacher Fang."

That internet celebrity who looked so imposing was actually calling this man Teacher Fang!

And he looked extremely terrified; what was he afraid of? Could this Teacher Fang be very famous?

Beside Guo Xiaowei, Guo Hongtu was also a bit confused, turning to say: "Xiaowei, what's going on? This... do they know each other?"

Guo Xiaowei shook his head, a look of excitement on his face as he said: "Of course they don't know each other, that's Fang Dazhuang on the other side!"

"Fang Dazhuang, Liu Dazhuang, these names are so similar..." Guo Hongtu said.

"Of course, this Liu Dazhuang is just imitating Fang Dazhuang, Dad, this is Li Gui bumping into Li Kui!"

Lao Guo didn't understand other things, but once you mentioned Li Gui and Li Kui, he understood.

"What? So this big-shot internet celebrity is also imitating someone else? What does that Fang Dazhuang do?"

"Didn't he say it himself? He's a Lawyer."

A Lawyer has such great ability? Enough to make others terrified just by seeing him.

Lao Guo didn't quite understand; he only felt that today's events seemed to have deviated from his expectations once again...

A group of neighbors had already given up on the meeting; this spectacle was much better to watch than a meeting.

An Anchor and a Lawyer, two "Dazhuang"—though he didn't know why they were called Dazhuang, he just felt this exotic show was very interesting.

"It is quite a coincidence, Liu Dazhuang!" Fang Dazhuang nodded upon hearing this and said: "So, which law firm is Liu Dazhuang at again?"

How could such a simple change of subject possibly deceive Fang Dazhuang?

Facing Fang Dazhuang's seemingly peaceful but aggressive question, Liu Dazhuang could only say: "That... it's just a small law firm, you probably haven't heard of it, Fang Dazhuang..."

"It's fine, just tell me. I actually have quite a few friends; I can ask around, I'll always be able to find out," Fang Dazhuang chuckled.

How big could the legal circle in the Imperial Capital be? People outside the circle feel it's huge, but once you really enter it, you know that if you really want to inquire about something, friend finding friend, it's not that difficult.

Especially for a big shot like Fang Dazhuang.

After a few questions in a row, Liu Dazhuang really didn't know what to say. Tell a lie?

That was absolutely impossible!

The Fang Dazhuang opposite him could find out with a few phone calls; whether a law firm had such a person, how long they worked there, and when they left could all be found out.

"That... Teacher Fang, I don't quite remember..."

"Oh, forgot, huh? Then where did you graduate from?" Fang Dazhuang turned and asked another question.

"You shouldn't forget your alma mater, at least."

Which law firm you work at, where you graduated from—these were truly soul-searching questions.

The cold sweat on Liu Dazhuang's forehead grew more and more; this question was practically a death trap.

Every circle has a chain of contempt; in the gaming circle, those who play 3A look down on online games, and PC looks down on mobile games.

The legal circle certainly has it too: those with law degrees look down on those without, those doing Litigation look down on in-house counsel, and the Five Institutes and Four Departments think everyone else is trash.

What could he say? Should he say that the university he attended was actually quite good, but he studied civil engineering?

And then after pouring concrete for a month, he just packed his bucket, ran away, and switched to being a Lawyer?

"Teacher Fang, my school wasn't exactly a good school..."

He could only say it like that.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed people in the livestream room could also tell that this person was likely building a persona again.

A top-tier law firm in the Imperial Capital, a famous big Lawyer—these titles combined together were still quite intimidating.

Anyway, bragging on the internet isn't against the law, unless someone actually calls them out!

And now, Fang Dazhuang had started to call them out...

The onlookers had already started to popularize knowledge about Fang Dazhuang for those who didn't know.

Things like Lawless Fanatic, Abnormal Performance, Normal Performance, Supernormal Performance, and the like—the bystanders were stunned listening to it all.

When they watched Lawyer Liu from Lincheng back then, they thought it was fun; it was the first time someone had used such a method to be serious.

As it turned out, they didn't expect that this damn thing was fake!

But it didn't matter; to use the words of one of those brothers: Lawyer Liu, it doesn't matter that you lied to us in the past; to have such an explosive performance today, it was worth the price of admission!

It couldn't be more worth it, okay? One would have to kowtow to the Constitution how many times to earn a fate like today's.

The Room Manager was already banning people like crazy, but it was useless.

Then... the Room Manager joined in, and everyone had a blast together.

Anyway, the money you son of a bitch gave isn't much, and that saying is right: with a performance like this, it's all worth it!

Watching the performance of this Lawyer Liu, Fang Dazhuang shook his head.

Although he knew from watching the other party's videos before that this person likely followed the path of an internet celebrity, solving problems by relying on exposure rather than the law.

But still, after seeing this appearance, he suddenly lost interest.

Right, it was just like with Zhou Xinran back then; he originally thought the other party was Lü Bu, but after throwing a punch, he found out it was Lin Daiyu.

This person was as scared as a quail the moment he saw him, so what else was there to say.

"Alright, Lawyer Liu, you can continue. We'll chat later when there's no one around, though I suggest you don't call yourself Lawyer Liu; just a simple suggestion."

"After all, I have already registered the trademark for Fang Dazhuang; isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to do this?"

"You registered Fang Dazhuang as a trademark?"

These words were spoken by Zhou Yi.

He had been watching the show as an onlooker, and as he watched, he heard this.

"Didn't you think this name was... oh, never mind, everyone continue."

It was Zhou Mouren, who, upon preparing to speak, saw the look in Fang Dazhuang's eyes that seemed like he wanted to kill, and was immediately scared into silence.

It was just that he really didn't expect Fang Dazhuang to have registered this name as a trademark, and that it had actually succeeded.

But thinking about it, it was normal; that "So-and-so Town Spicy Soup" and "So-and-so Pass Meat Burger"—being able to sue dozens of shops into bankruptcy just by relying on a name, you tell me if that's awesome or not.

"Ah, yes, yes, Teacher Fang, I will definitely change it. My name is Liu Dayou; it absolutely has nothing to do with the two characters 'Big Lawyer'!"

What kind of continuing is this? He was already scared to death now; he just wanted to find a place with no one around to properly admit his mistakes and apologize to Fang Dazhuang.

"Well, I didn't have anything to do coming here today, so I'll be going now..."

Liu Dayou shouted to his assistant and turned to leave.

As a result, Guo Hongtu was not happy.

"Wait, wait, wait, you're leaving just like this? What's going on? Didn't you say you'd help me solve the problem? Didn't you say they were morally kidnapping me? How come you're leaving before the interview even started?"

"Don't pull me, why are you grabbing me? I have things to do now, you know? Hey, why are you like this? I already said I have things to do, don't pull me..."

Liu Dayou was about to explode. Was this person sick? I came to help out of obligation, and now I can't even save myself and need to leave, but you won't let me go?

"Don't go! How can you be such a person? You bragged so much before you came, as if all of Lincheng belonged to your family, and now you're leaving without even saying a word!"

"What, is there no place for reason in society anymore? Can you do whatever you want just because you have money? Can you morally kidnap me whenever you want?"

Guo Hongtu shouted there.

The fundamental Guo Xiaowei whispered: "Dad, let's not yell, let's talk things over properly."

"What's wrong? Who's yelling? They're allowed to do it but I'm not allowed to speak? By the way, didn't you say that for the elevator repair, the law already stipulates how many people, and their consent isn't needed!"

"If it doesn't work, we'll file a Lawsuit. It's just a court case, who's afraid of whom? It just so happens we're still livestreaming, let's talk about it."

Holy crap! Dad, Guo Xiaowei's head was almost buried in his crotch; Fang Dazhuang was still right in front of them!

Zhou Yi shook his head and stepped forward, saying: "Alright, that Mr. Liu, right? Don't leave yet. Since you're already here, let's get everything clear."

"Mr. Guo, you're right. It just so happens we're livestreaming now, so let's talk about all your glorious deeds."

"When you came to my house to make me sign the consent form, you never cared whether I agreed or not, and just said there was no impact at all, right?"

"You also said that our family was just planning to ask for money, and since my parents wouldn't come forward, you made a little kid like me come forward."

"And when we had the meeting, didn't you say the same thing?"

Huh? Guo Xiaowei looked at his father; he actually said these things before?

"Where's the evidence? Who can prove it? I didn't say that!"

"You clearly said it; everyone heard it at the meeting that day."

Many neighbors spoke up.

"You have all been bought off now; you're all in cahoots. Of course, whatever he says is what it is, just because they have money," Guo Hongtu shouted.

"It seems Mr. Guo doesn't admit it. Then let everyone take a look together."

While speaking, Zhou Yi had already taken a laptop out of the bag beside him, and then took out a small speaker.

Suddenly, the way others looked at Zhou Yi wasn't quite right. You came to a meeting, bringing a laptop is one thing, but you also brought a speaker?

Zhou Yi ignored all this, found the recording directly, and then started playing it.

"Everyone listen, is this Mr. Guo Hongtu's voice? My speaker is very expensive; the sound quality is absolutely no problem!"

Pressing play, the words Guo Hongtu had said at Zhou Yi's house earlier soon rang out from the speaker.

I have to say, this "Your family is just planning to ask for money, right?" really maxed out the sarcasm.

It seems like wanting money these days is a mistake, as if everyone is supposed to stay poor, and the moment you mention money, you are being too vulgar.

Then there was what Lao Guo said during the meeting.

Something about how he has an elderly person at home, and the elderly person is living such a miserable life that they cannot even go downstairs and can only spend their days in such a small house.

If everyone is unwilling to install an Elevator, that is basically taking the elderly person's life, and it is completely failing to consider the elderly.

In short, these words were nauseating to hear.

Because he himself lives in an Elevator Housing.

In any case, my house is an Elevator Housing, but the new house cannot be lived in by the elderly, and if you oppose installing an Elevator, or if you want money, then you are preventing my elderly family member from living well.

At this, even the look in Liu Dayou's eyes changed.

Damn it, you father and son are setting me up, aren't you? You didn't make it clear beforehand that you were the ones who started moral kidnapping people!

Many people actually have an extremely simple sense of right and wrong, and this sense of right and wrong is somewhat inconsistent with the law.

For example, everyone thinks that if two people fight, the one who started it must be in the wrong, but legally, as long as both of you have laid hands on each other, it is Mutual Fighting.

Moral kidnapping is the same; if he did it first, then there is no problem with me doing it back in retaliation.

This is the extremely simple sense of right and wrong that many people have.

So now, the onlookers in the livestream are also expressing their dissatisfaction.

"No wonder, he was the one who moral kidnapped others first!"

"He has an Elevator Housing himself but won't let the elderly live in it, then uses moral kidnapping to force others to agree to install an Elevator without giving compensation—what a 'good' person!"

"This double standard; he can live on the sixth floor without giving others compensation, but now that the situation is reversed, he can't accept it—what a piece of work!"

Facing this situation, Guo Hongtu's face had already turned completely red.

Zhou Yi knew very well that this kind of person was just like those guys he had encountered on the internet before who would never admit they were wrong.

Even if you lay all the evidence out in front of him, he just won't acknowledge it.

"So you're recording, huh? Fine, you're all right and I'm the only one who's wrong, then let me tell you, as long as I'm here, don't even think about installing this Elevator!"

After saying this, Guo Hongtu turned around in a fit of rage and prepared to leave.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Hey, Mr. Guo, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, have you forgotten? Didn't you say something about two-thirds or three-quarters last time? Even if you don't agree, we can still install it."

Guo Hongtu, who was walking out, stumbled...

Starting the Q&A in the evening, thanks to brothers Feng Shenyao and Yu Min for the tips, thank you.
