What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Jingzhou has made headlines again, something many people didn't see coming.

The situation has exceeded everyone's expectations; after all, just because of the words "contracting with prestigious schools," Ya Shi might have to cough up tens of millions in compensation!

There are many types of compensation involved, like those who, like Lv Ziyang, signed a subscription agreement; in such cases, they could copycat and demand double the deposit.

Others have already signed the sales contract and can no longer claim the deposit; they can only ask for liquidated damages, which certainly aren't as much as double the deposit, but it's still a substantial amount, given that the damages are calculated based on the property price.

Then there are those who bought houses and have already moved in; this group actually went through the process of defending their rights, but unfortunately, to little effect.

After all, it's been who knows how long since they bought the property, and every now and then, Ya Shi would simply say, "The contract is the standard," and thinking how troublesome it would be to sue, this group didn't go to court.

But now they've discovered, hey, it looks like we can defend our rights too. Indeed, commercial housing doesn't fall under the Consumer Rights Protection Law, and in cases of suspected fraud, there isn't the same refund triple compensation, but they can still demand the developer take responsibility!

No matter how much the compensation is, it's all money; the key point is, there's now Lawyer Tang Fangjing, a prominent attorney, leading the charge. Everyone just needs to sign the contract and pay a little attorney's fee!

So what are we waiting for, let's go together!

Often, when we try to defend our rights alone, just the thought of going to court gives us a headache; but if a bunch of people agree to sue together, most will join in, as people tend to follow the herd.

And so, under such circumstances, the number of cases keeps growing...

Online, netizens are enjoying the drama; they're having a ball.

"Jingzhou is awesome, let's count how many times this has happened, letting the developers spout nonsense, huh?"

"The guy above, you think your place doesn't have this? Let me tell you, you have no idea, alright? This kind of thing is the same nationwide; it's just that nobody dared to pull this off before!"

"Don't say anything else; this should have been done a long time ago. The developers have been talking nonsense too many times; they must be properly regulated!"

To put it bluntly, because of the unique nature of commercial housing and its significant implications, although it's called commercial housing, it can't really be considered a commodity, so for a long time, developers have been getting away with false advertising.

But if it's clear there's a problem, why doesn't everyone take the legal route? Are they all fools?

That's subject to interpretation.

This time, of course, it's because of Old Tang; he's like a tank wielding a shield, directly taunting at the front lines, drawing all the hate onto himself.

Similarly, his offensive power is also top-notch.

So, what was just a false advertising case is now blowing up, with many of Ya Shi's homeowners getting involved, with everyone wanting to sue!

The courts in various districts are in over their heads. Although by regulations, one can sue in the district where the property is located, not necessarily having to go to the Changyi District Court where the defendant Ya Shi Company is based.

But with so many scattered cases, it's definitely not feasible for each district court to hear them separately, and the higher court has started meetings to figure out how to resolve the issue.

Amidst this, a new kind of discourse has emerged online.

"Without a doubt, Tang Fangjing is stirring things up again, but this time his big move has turned into a mess. I'm actually really curious about something. Does Lawyer Tang even understand real estate? At this time, he's still going for this kind of lawsuit, huh?"

"Where's the compensation money coming from? It's your money from buying houses, you know. If Ya Shi's properties in Jingzhou go unfinished in the future, please don't come asking for help online."

Once this opinion surfaced, it quickly gained traction, mainly because everyone is sensitive to the issue of unfinished buildings.

And just by hearing this, it seems true that developers' funds are limited, and if they have to compensate us, would there be enough left to build our houses?

Suddenly, the direction of online sentiment began to shift.

"Tang Fangjing, where are you? Come out and explain. If there's an unfinished building, can you take responsibility?"

"Every single day, he's busy with these large-scale lawsuits, as if he's the only good person besides himself!"

As the online public opinion grew, it eventually pointed toward Jingzhou and even Han Dong, causing Jingzhou to become flustered again. These things happen everywhere, so now how can you have the gall to criticize us?

This is where we talk about the matter of public opinion supervision. As we all know, local media usually won't report on local public sentiment, simply because local media can be controlled locally. Generally, it's only when things cross provinces that they're harder to manage.

That's why you'll notice that after some public outcry, it's often the media from other places that are the liveliest, while the local outlets are relatively silent...

Now that there's pressure, it has to be passed down...

Tengda, Old Wang here is frantic, like his eyebrows are on fire, speaking on the phone: "President Cheng, don't ask me; I don't know what's going on with Old Tang either!"

"Yes, he won't answer calls... He had already requested leave before, saying he needed to go home and rest."

It's truly a pain. Initially excited about the batch of cases Old Tang brought back, now Old Wang realizes Tengda simply can't handle it.
