What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 559 - 184 Old Tang: Occasionally, I Play the Lawyer’s Tricks
Ju Haiqing really felt like crying now; he had never imagined that he wouldn’t even make it to the trial—first, there was the issue of jurisdiction, and then the problem of the defendant’s qualification.
He couldn’t understand why everyone knew that the game should belong to the Meitian Group, but when it came to suing, they said there was no qualified defendant...
So now he didn’t know what to do; indeed, as an online author, he had more free time compared to others, and he was willing to spend money on rights defense.
But after spending quite a bit of money, running to The Capital and then to Jiangguang, putting out a lot of money without even achieving a normal court session, he found this a bit hard to accept.
On the other hand, Old Tang was in his office reading a book; he had already finished two-thirds of "The Mental Patient’s Self-Cultivation" and was preparing to finish reading quickly.
Just then his phone rang, and the moment he answered it, he heard Ju Haiqing’s words.
"Bullied so miserably? What have you done this time?" Old Tang curiously asked over the phone, "Normally speaking, there shouldn’t be many people who can bully you, right?"
After all, Ju Haiqing was an online author; the worst bullying he could encounter would probably be getting sprayed by readers, which is quite normal these days.
From the phone, Ju Haiqing’s voice sounded, "Lawyer Tang, I’ve been bullied by a game company, sigh, I’m embarrassed to say it, but here’s what happened..."

Then Ju Haiqing outlined the situation, mainly to emphasize that his purpose wasn’t to win or lose, but for his next novel.
Men are like this, even if their front teeth are knocked out, they still act tough.
Old Tang replied with a laugh, "Alright, I roughly understand the situation. I didn’t expect you to file a lawsuit behind my back, but if you had consulted me beforehand, at least those two trips wouldn’t have been in vain."
"It’s not convenient to talk over the phone, come to the law firm today, and we’ll discuss it in detail."
Hearing this, Ju Haiqing on the other end of the phone said, "I’m on my way now!"
He really couldn’t hold back; this was no way to treat a person—he had thought of quietly developing himself, fighting a lawsuit on his own, and then showing off to Lawyer Tang.
He intended to make a small appearance, but instead he exposed his backside...
After hanging up the phone, Ju Haiqing immediately drove straight to Tengda Law Firm; he really wanted to hear Tang Fangjing’s opinion, mainly to know if he could ask for more money on top of the three hundred or so.
At that time, he got the impression that the other party knew that they should give him the three hundred and change, but they simply wouldn’t, they wanted him to file a lawsuit.
For large companies, the individual is always in a crushing position; they have an extremely sound legal team; you can sue casually, and it won’t matter to them at all.
Soon, Ju Haiqing arrived at Tengda and met Wang Qingqing as he entered.
He naturally knew who Wang Qingqing was, having met her previously at Tengda. Even though Ju Haiqing himself was a staunch two-dimensional enthusiast, he also thought with the nastiest assumption that Lawyer Tang must have had an alternative motive for hiring such an assistant...
Just look, with a girl like her going out, who wouldn’t have doubts?
"Hello, Lawyer Wang, I’m looking for Lawyer Tang..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qingqing smiled and said, "Director Tang is waiting for you in his office, go ahead."
Ju Haiqing nodded and proceeded toward Old Tang’s office; just as he was about to enter, Wang Qingqing’s voice came from behind, "Remember to call him Director Tang; he is now the director of Tengda."
Lawyer Tang had become Director Tang, which was unexpected, and Ju Haiqing nodded and entered the office.
Outside, Wang Qingqing shook her head; she didn’t understand what these men who liked the second dimension thought. Ju Haiqing, in particular, seemed to fall in love with every character he saw.
And whenever he was questioned for being too flirtatious, he would argue that he loved each of his "wives" deeply and equally...
It was incomprehensible, but hopefully, Director Tang would prefer someone normal... right?
Ju Haiqing had already entered the office and then saw Old Tang looking at "The Mental Patient’s Self-Cultivation" with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"Eh, Old Ju, take a seat. Qingqing, two cups of tea, thank you."
Quickly, Wang Qingqing brought in the tea, then left, closing the door behind her; as an assistant, she was always the most professional.
Ju Haiqing, unable to wait any longer, said, "Director Tang, where did my case go wrong, why is there suddenly an issue with jurisdiction, and now the defendant’s qualification to be sued?"
"If I want to sue next time, how can I avoid these problems?"
He was really curious about this; after all, he planned on creating a character in his next book as a "top-tier lawyer," and such basic things were necessary to understand, otherwise, the written work would be unreadable.
Old Tang smiled and said, "Firstly, your problem lies in your disregard for the user agreement. Do you think that the wall of text that pops up when you log into a game is a joke?"
"If you want to file a lawsuit, that document is very important, you know."
Nowadays, probably only a few people actually read through the lengthy user agreement provided by game companies when logging in; most simply click to accept and then proceed to enter the game.
And that document is often updated...
"The court with jurisdiction and the qualified defendant are all laid out in that agreement; typically, the game’s service provider, who is party A in the agreement, should be the defendant."
"As for avoiding such problems, it isn’t too difficult. On one hand, you at least have to read the user agreement, and on the other hand, list anyone who you think can be a defendant."
