Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 128 - 123: Infamous Far and Wide!

"Xu Liang is here?"

"How has it been this year since graduation? Have you learned anything?"

Upper City University.

In the office, Wu Chengjun looked at Xu Liang, his expression relaxed, and he spoke warmly.

Li Yang and Xu Liang stepped in from the doorway.

Wu Chengjun's office was very simple, with only a few potted plants, while the rest was all files and materials, stacked on the shelves to form several thick walls.

Upon hearing his teacher's question, Xu Liang felt a bit tense inside but remained calm on the surface, sitting beside him, and said:

"It's fine."

"Just a bit unaccustomed without the teacher's guidance occasionally!"

Wu Chengjun expressed his relief, but still said:

"I've taught you everything I could. Law as a profession mainly depends on oneself."

The difference between lawyers isn't in memorizing the laws but in skillful application!

In the same case, others might lead the client to jail, but some might manage to send the opposing lawyer's client to jail...

Like Zheng Mei.

But...

"Haha, the teacher is too modest."

Li Yang, who had followed them inside, couldn't resist speaking up.

He showed an emotional expression, admiring Wu Chengjun:

"I thought after over a decade in the Consulate Department, I had accumulated a bit and improved in applying legal strategies, and my diplomatic skills were gradually hardening."

"But compared to the teacher..."

Li Yang recalled the tactic Xu Liang mentioned back then and couldn't help but marvel.

This tactic truly strengthened his admiration!

An irrefutable open strategy!

First, using Nata and Wang Hai's unequal information to deceive the opponents, then when the net was cast… catching them off guard with an unexpected attack, a killer move!!!

Li Yang was thoroughly impressed.

This cunning... no, these social skills were far superior to his own!

"Compared to the teacher, I still appear too immature!"

Li Yang spoke earnestly.

"What?"

Wu Chengjun was somewhat puzzled.

He looked at Li Yang, who had graduated for more than a decade, then at Xu Liang, his face showing a look of confusion.

"Nothing, second senior brother said the teacher has vast accumulated wisdom, far surpassing him in legal application and psychological strategizing."

Xu Liang said with a calm expression.

Li Yang nodded, "That's right."

"What psychological strategizing?"

Wu Chengjun grew even more puzzled.

He usually just taught classes at school, where was the psychological strategizing?

Against whom? Against the students!?

But the problem was this is Upper City University, unlike ordinary teachers who worry about graduation rates.

Upper City University's students, no matter how lazy, don't need the teachers to be anxious!

So… who would he strategize against?

Why does he not fully understand; could it be because of age...?

But just seeing him like this…

"Still, the teacher!"

Li Yang expressed increased admiration, showing great respect.

Indeed, it still had to be his mentor, Wu Chengjun.

Spending decades to disguise himself as a stubborn old man, making the entire Upper City believe he is rigid, inflexible...

But who knew he secretly taught his disciples such harsh methods!?

And everyone around was deceived by Wu Chengjun's disguised face; once faced with matters, if he showed his true self…

Guessing, they'd be left with not a scrap of a bone!

"The student has learned."

Li Yang felt respect.

The teacher was teaching him how to hide emotions!

Especially with him responsible for diplomacy in the Consulate Department, if used well, this could definitely be a great weapon at certain moments!

"What have you learned?"

Wu Chengjun was surprised.

Li Yang graduated over ten years ago, when did he teach him anything!?

"The student understands." Li Yang nodded earnestly.

Wu Chengjun: ???

Wu Chengjun realized he was getting old.

But he truly didn't know he'd live to an old age where he couldn't understand human speech...

Beside him, Xu Liang couldn't stand it anymore, also worried about exposing his disguise...

"Teacher, actually, this time I came to take advantage of the chance to pay New Year's respects to you, and meanwhile bring new blood to the law firm!"

He urgently interrupted the conversation that was completely off track.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chengjun finally turned his attention to him, furrowing his brow.

"You mean..."

"I want the teacher to recommend a student with such intent!"

Xu Liang said solemnly.

The career paths for law students after graduation are just a few; in summary, it's either following or entering business.

If one is capable and farsighted, generally by university, they start paving the way for the future, among them, distinguished ones, the teachers know more or less.

He didn't want to spend money recruiting someone who could do nothing initially.

"I can, but I must first know your law firm..."

Wu Chengjun furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment.

"Xu Liang, you know some students have their own pursuits for employment, the law firm's positioning matters... even if I intervene it might not help."

Law graduates, who isn't a rookie at first?

Thinking of fighting against legal bullies to the end, battling evil to the death!

Almost all are full of zeal; if the law firm's reputation is unsavory, people wouldn't bother.

"Rest assured, Teacher, although my junior's law firm is in a small place, after several cases, the firm has already become renowned!"

Li Yang chimed in beside him. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Really?" Wu Chengjun was a bit surprised, looking at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed."

"What cases have you handled?" Wu Chengjun grew curious.

Promoting a law firm's reputation in half a year... what kind of cases were handled!?

"A total of three cases."

Speaking.

Xu Liang paused, then sighed and said in a deep voice:

"The first case... Teacher, you don't know."

"My client was driven to ruin by the other party, his mother was murdered in front of him, his sister drowned herself, and he developed severe depression..."

"The second case, is the trafficking case you despise the most."

"A girl was sold by relatives 13 years ago; a 16-year-old boy ran away from home, searched for his sibling for 13 years, and faced the death penalty after finding his sister. I couldn't bear it, so I..."

Xu Liang highlighted the key points.

When he talked about the third case.

His tone became deeply resentful.

"In the third case, I actually came across the type of scoundrel you often talk about in court!"

"It was a case investigated by the Six Ministries. That scoundrel lawyer was willing to betray morality for millions in legal fees and claimed he would argue for acquittal!"

"Fortunately."

"I used your teachings to shatter their dream."

Three cases.

Xu Liang didn't utter a single lie!

Wu Chengjun was deeply moved by what he heard, and after a long time, he took a deep breath.

He looked at Xu Liang with satisfaction and said gently, "Good, good, good!"

Repeating it three times, Wu Chengjun increasingly felt that this disciple hasn't disgraced his legacy.

"Seeing that you haven't forgotten the core philosophy of our mentorship gives me peace."

Wu Chengjun's face showed a smile, his satisfaction evident.

As for the core philosophy of mentorship... it was: 'A clear conscience!'

He pondered briefly and finally spoke:

"There's someone readying for an externship, strictly she's half my student..."

"She's capable, with good character, and no political ambitions... I'll give her a call. If it's workable, you take her for some experience. If not, I'll find someone else for you to try."

Upon hearing this.

Xu Liang's face lit up with delight.

Half a student?

Then she's practically half a junior sister!

A junior sister would be great, working with a junior sister feels seamless, without psychological burden.

"Alright, I'll trouble you, Teacher!" Xu Liang quickly agreed.

Upon hearing this.

Wu Chengjun didn't delay.

He dialed a number right in front of Xu Liang.

"Beep beep beep~"

The phone rang, and shortly after, the call was picked up.

"Professor Wu."

The speaker emitted a crisp female voice.

Wu Chengjun skipped the pleasantries and directly said:

"Su, I recall you..."

"Your senior brother opened a law firm... Yes, it's those high-profile cases later this year; I just learned it was this young lad who litigated them..."

"Alright, alright, that's settled then!"

A moment later.

Wu Chengjun hung up the phone, looked up at Xu Liang, and laughed;

"Go to the café; I told her to wait for you there."

"Okay."

Xu Liang nodded with a smile, "Then I'll head over first."

"Off you go, off you go." Wu Chengjun waved casually.

Upon hearing this.

Xu Liang got up and headed out.

Only Li Yang and Wu Chengjun's words remained in the office, and they exchanged glances.

"Teacher, during the holiday, I want to learn more by your side," Li Yang seriously said.

"What can you learn from me?"

Wu Chengjun was still somewhat perplexed.

"Teacher, I've learned!" Li Yang looked at his expression, respect growing ever stronger in his heart.

Indeed, the older the wiser.

Still maintaining a facade while alone with a student!?

Wu Chengjun fell silent.

"What have you learned now!?"

...

...

Xu Liang walked out of the office and headed toward the campus café he remembered.

Luckily, even though he's graduated for a year, the café's location hadn't changed nor had it been renovated.

He easily found the place.

Upon arriving at the café, Xu Liang looked around, eventually making eye contact with a girl in the corner.

After a brief pause, Xu Liang walked over, extending his hand upon getting close.

"Hello, I'm Professor Wu's student, may I..."

During this gap, he observed the girl in front of him.

The girl seemed around 21 years old, standing about 170 cm tall, with fair and smooth skin. She wore light makeup, her features were delicate and captivating, exuding an elegant aura.

Undoubtedly a girl who captivates the souls of others.

The girl in front of him also placed her shoulder bag on the chair and stood up to shake Xu Liang's hand.

"My name's Su Yu. It was me on the phone with Professor Wu earlier; you're Senior Xu Liang, right."

Xu Liang paused slightly in the chair.

He didn't recognize the junior sister in front of him, yet she knew him...

"Did the teacher mention me?" Xu Liang curiously inquired.

"Professor Wu often mentioned you to me, saying you're the brightest of all his disciples."

Su Yu gently laughed, covering her mouth lightly.

Then, switching the subject abruptly, she added:

"However, besides me, most students in the law school actually know of your reputation too."

The entire law school knows?

No way, have I gained a notorious reputation!?

Xu Liang's expression tightened, calmly asking:

"Really."

"How do the juniors and seniors evaluate me?"
