Chapter 252: Chapter 117: Does Someone Hitting Me Mean I Can Only Run? (Two in One)
For Lu Jiayu, as a second-year graduate student at Handong University of Political Science and Law, it was already time to start considering an internship.
She had hastily found a job after graduating with her bachelor's degree two years ago, thinking that society was a good place to be.
However, after being harshly "educated" by reality, she found herself back in school again.
But she couldn't possibly stay in school forever.
She was preparing to intern at a law firm, but good law firms that genuinely mentor interns were incredibly hard to find; basically, you'd end up doing menial tasks for people.
Just as she was thinking about this, the door to her dorm room was pushed open, and a girl from the dormitory next door said excitedly, "Hey, hey, did you guys know? Lawyer Tang is coming to our university to give a lecture in three days!"
Lawyer Tang? Who is Lawyer Tang?
There's no shortage of people coming to the university to give lectures, but even as undergrads, few were interested in attending. The speakers would speak, while the audience snoozed—no one would go if it wasn't for the course credits.
Suddenly, Lu Jiayu was startled, "Is it that Lawyer Tang from Tengda?"
"Of course, who else would our university invite from Jingzhou other than that Lawyer Tang?" the next-door girl continued excitedly.
Now, at least in the eyes of many students at Politics and Law University, Lawyer Tang was like a guiding light!
In fact, many lawyers had ideals when they first graduated and started practicing law, let alone university students.
Who doesn't have dreams?
Lu Jiayu became excited as well: "Lawyer Tang is giving a lecture? I must go!"
As she spoke, Lu Jiayu couldn't help but remember two years ago.
The young man who wasn't even a lawyer yet, who ran from one university to another because no school was willing to partner with him, since he was merely a little internet celebrity.
But he persevered on his own two feet, traveling all over Jingzhou's universities to gain support from the students. .net
Often, he would sweat profusely while speaking and gobble down painkillers; after they took effect, he would keep talking—collecting evidence one step at a time...
Back then, students from the Politics and Law University, including her, thought that Tang Fangjing was a tough person among the tough ones, and such a person would certainly make a name for themselves!
Only, thinking about the fact that he was in the late stages of cancer and might not live much longer...
But in just two years, not only was he still alive, he had grown from an obscure young man into a nationally renowned top lawyer!
With Lawyer Tang coming, she absolutely had to go. It would be good to see him again...
Like Lu Jiayu, there were many others. At Handong Political Law University, the study and practice groups formed to help gather evidence still existed in large numbers.
Those who were freshmen and sophomores at that time were now juniors and seniors.
The news spread like wildfire within the university. Some simply wanted to attend the lecture, while others hoped to catch a glimpse of Lawyer Tang, who was now not just a lawyer, but also a big internet celebrity!
The three days passed in a flash. Old Tang specially dressed in a suit today to meet the students. It wasn't a court appearance, after all, and he certainly couldn't be too casual.
It doesn't matter in a court hearing, really. What if he wore a short-sleeve shirt to court—could the judge really expel him for incorrect attire?
At most, it would just create a poor impression of him, conveying that he didn't take the hearing seriously...
But now, when Old Tang appears in court, would any judge think he doesn't take it seriously?
Obviously not. That's the benefit of having a great reputation.
On his way to Handong University of Political Science and Law, he looked at the main gate of the university and felt a bit nostalgic thinking about his first visit there.
Now, he simply made a phone call ahead, and someone from the university was already waiting for him at the gate.
"Lawyer Tang, this way, please. We'll rest for a while first, then the lecture will take place at the university auditorium. We've really got quite a crowd this time," said a teacher from the university leading the way.
Old Tang naturally had no objections and followed the teacher inside.
However, the teacher hadn't been resting for long when he came in and said, "Lawyer Tang, there are so many people coming that the auditorium can't hold them all. We've had to move to the sports field at the last minute."
Feeling helpless, the teacher added that previously, even when the legal experts who were well-known in the field came to give lectures, there were barely any attendees.
Many of them were compelled to attend...
Yet, with Tang Fangjing's appearance, there suddenly wasn't enough space. The contrast between him and the others was just too stark.
There was no choice; the legal profession had never before seen someone so high-profile. The experts' theoretical research might indeed be strong, but unfortunately, the law can be dry.
The time came, and Old Tang head out towards the playing field. He hadn't even arrived yet when he saw crowds and crowds of people. It seemed like more than half of Handong Political Law might be there...
All the students were watching him; those who had previously helped him were especially boasting non-stop.
"Look, look, Lawyer Tang is here. I told you guys, I knew from the beginning Lawyer Tang was no ordinary person. Hey, I even have his WeChat," said Zhang Yuhao, feeling like he was floating on air.
"Don't believe me? I've already talked to him. After the lecture, we can even take a photo together!"
Finally, Old Tang took his seat on the stage; the university teachers began with an introduction, and then he started to speak.
Today's lecture topic from Old Tang was "Lawyers Should Be The Ones Who Take Things Seriously."
It was a reflection of his many years of practice experience across his past and present lives.
Others might say, "Ah, let it go, there's no point in being so particular."
But it's different for lawyers. As legal practitioners, based on the facts and the law, that's what you ought to do.
"Many lawyers are saying now, you need to focus on getting cases, and once you have a case, nothing else matters. As long as you get the cases, you'll be insured against droughts and floods," he said.
