Chapter 947: Chapter 306: Mr. Tang, I Just Don’t Accept You!

The new year has arrived, but for Old Tang, no matter how things change, his life remains the same.

However, every year during the New Year period, he would take a few days off, and this year is no exception.

Every day he just roams around the neighborhood, occasionally chatting with the elderly men and women there, or taking Wang Qingqing for a walk in the park. Life is extremely dull and lackluster.

The two of them tacitly avoided talking about what happened on New Year’s Eve night, at least for now, maintaining this relationship is enough for them.

As for the future, Old Tang has no idea.

Time quickly moved to the eighth day of the lunar year, today is Tengda’s first day of work.

Inside Tengda, the cleaning lady has already cleaned all the offices, Wang Qingqing was arranging her tea set, and Old Tang was standing silently at the office door.

“Director, did you call for me?” Zhang Wei came running over from the side.

“Yes, Zhang Wei, I suddenly feel that the New Year should bring new changes, so I plan to change the sign at my office door.” Old Tang stroked his chin.

“Change it? Change to what?”

Old Tang laughed: “Change it to ‘Director’s Office’, and add my name below.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei was stunned and immediately excited: “Alright, Director, I’ll take care of it right away!”

On the other side, Old Wang got to work a bit late, mainly because he had drunk too much on the seventh night of the lunar year, being the successful person in the family, many wanted to drink with him during the New Year period.

However, in the process of drinking, everyone talked about Tang Fangjing, which made him a bit unhappy, after all, he was the director of Tengda, do you know what a director is? It means leader, it means…

As Old Wang thought about it, he entered his office, only to suddenly notice something slightly different at Old Tang’s office door.

Wait, Director’s Office?

Old Wang looked at the sign at the door and was a bit dumbfounded, rubbing his eyes and looking again, no mistake, Director’s Office, but how could this be?

That office door has always been specifically for Tang Fangjing, even when he took a year off for treatment, it was still reserved for him, how could it turn into a Director’s Office!

It seemed like he thought of something, Old Wang then hurriedly went to look at his own office door, Director’s Office, so this has nothing to do with him?

What exactly is the situation, it surely couldn’t be that Old Tang changed it himself, he isn’t that kind of trivial person.

Or is it… does Old Tang now want to create a “dual director” position at Tengda?

With a belly full of confusion, Old Wang bleakly entered his own office, no, he needs to start implementing those benefits quickly, otherwise, people at Tengda will only recognize Old Tang and not him!

Meanwhile, inside Old Tang’s office, Old Tang, who had been watching the commotion outside through the peephole, burst into laughter, with Wang Qingqing beside him looking helpless.

Why are men sometimes so childish, why is he so happy about such things?

But should it be said or not, Brother Tang is truly wicked…

However, the New Year has nothing to do with Lan Baosheng, who is still staying in the Detention Center.

But today was slightly different, the prosecuting lawyer came again.

“Lan Baosheng, I have already made it very clear to you, whether you admit guilt and accept punishment or not, it does not affect Tang Fangjing from defending you as innocent!”

“If you do not admit guilt and accept punishment, do you know what will happen if Tang Fangjing’s defense fails? You will be sentenced to actual prison time, do you really trust Tang Fangjing that much?” Xia Guangling said to Lan Baosheng in front of her.

She didn’t understand why this person was so stubborn; repeatedly persuading him, stating the pros and cons, she even started speaking of the benefits of admitting guilt and punishment now.

If it were any other lawyer, she would also need to convince the lawyer to agree, but if not, it definitely wouldn’t be easy to discuss the sentencing.

But the other party is Tang Fangjing, and as a staff member of Bright District’s legal system, Xia Guangling knows that he cannot be persuaded.

So she could only try to persuade Lan Baosheng.

It’s not that she likes doing this, but the assessment of admitting guilt and punishment forces her to do so, no matter what, once it involves assessment, it definitely takes precedence.

However, no matter how much she persuaded, Lan Baosheng across from her still didn’t say a word.

“Lan Baosheng, I don’t know if you’ve understood, but this is in your favor, do you know that your current situation is supported by irrefutable evidence? If you…”

As Xia Guangling was saying this, Lan Baosheng finally spoke.

He looked at Xia Guangling and another lawyer and said: “Stop talking, I won’t admit guilt and punishment, I haven’t committed a crime, why should I admit guilt?”

He really thought this way, he hasn’t committed a crime, why should he admit guilt!

Yes, it’s that simple, no matter how many benefits admitting guilt and punishment offers, he doesn’t want to admit, because he always feels he hasn’t committed a crime.

If he hasn’t committed a crime, why admit guilt? Wouldn’t admitting guilt imply he feels guilty?

Xia Guangling and the other lawyer fell silent, they stopped talking, this case wouldn’t proceed with admitting guilt and punishment.

In criminal cases nowadays, most go directly through admitting guilt and punishment, and the court often adopts the sentencing recommendation made by the Procuratorate.

But there are also many who do not admit guilt from beginning to end, like in Tang Fangjing’s previous world, that classic “Blind Date Rape Case”, where the person involved did not admit guilt from beginning to end.

Even if by admitting guilt he could have been given probation, he didn’t admit it, even if he were already in prison and admitting guilt could reduce the sentence, he still wouldn’t, because he did not believe he had committed a crime.
