Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 563: Chapter 384: Master! Patriarch of the Sect! [Two-in-One, Vote for the Monthly Ticket!]

"Lawyer Xu, I actually figured it out a long time ago."

"Lanshan Province is too small, it limits your potential, there’s no proportional relationship between effort and reward, but..."

"As the saying goes, ’How can the golden fish remain in the pool?’"

Lanshan Province, High People’s Court, in the corridor.

Zhao Yi blocked Xu Liang, speaking earnestly:

"Lawyer Xu, going to Upper City is your future. No matter how good Qingshi City is, it’s never going to develop as well as Upper City, and the limit for law firms across all Eastern Country is at Upper City. You can’t stay in this small place like Qingshi City for your whole life, can you?"

"Think about it carefully!"

These words were indeed sincere, without any personal feelings mixed in... Of course, it’s not entirely devoid of them, there’s still a little bit.

But that’s not important!

"Upper City..."

Xu Liang’s heart stirred, with a trace of contemplation showing in his brows.

Just as Zhao Yi said.

Hai City might be more profitable, since that place is specialized in economics. You can casually get a few lawyers to collaborate with those financial elites, and the law firm could earn enormous commission fees!

But... that’s limited to making money.

Upper City is the peak of law firm’s development in the country!

From the beginning, Xu Liang thought about opening the law firm in Upper City, Hanhai City and Qingshi City were just short-term footholds for development.

It’s just that now...

Would it be too soon?

A look of hesitation appeared on Xu Liang’s face.

Zhao Yi noticed this and instantly showed a look of delight.

Hesitation is good.

Hesitation means things can be negotiated!

"Of course, it’s not up to me, Lawyer Xu should go and discuss with the leaders thoroughly."

Zhao Yi quickly added.

After his words, he pulled Xu Liang’s hand and headed inside the courthouse.

The indoor space of the courthouse was large, and the two walked for a long time before they reached the elevator. After waiting for the elevator for a brief moment, Zhao Yi quickly pulled Xu Liang inside.

Making it seem like he was afraid the other party might change his mind, he kept pressing the close button after selecting the elevator floor.

A moment later.

The elevator carried the two upward.

Before long, a ’ding’ sound emerged next to their ears, and the elevator doors opened to reveal a corridor.

Zhao Yi stepped out first, finally leading the way as they reached in front of the door, knocking on it with his hand.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

The sound of the door echoed, followed by a reply from within.

"Come in."

Xu Liang raised his eyebrows slightly.

The voice sounded familiar, but faintly, it seemed there was another voice.

Zhao Yi, however, didn’t think much of it and directly opened the door.

"Creak~!"

The door opened.

Two men in work clothes appeared in front of them.

One was standing, the other sitting at the desk. The seated man was over sixty, and the one standing was... Wang Yao?

The two inside the room looked up, glancing at the people outside the door.

Xu Liang was about to say something, but only felt a push from behind that made him step into the office.

"Bang!"

The sound of the door closing came from behind.

After Zhao Yi pushed Xu Liang inside, he closed the door and stayed outside, seemingly in a good mood, feeling quite happy.

As for inside the office...

Xu Liang wasn’t shy. He surveyed his surroundings for a moment, his gaze shifted back and forth between the two old men and ultimately settled on Wang Yao.

Immediately, Xu Liang raised an eyebrow and approached with a cheerful smile.

"Chief Judge Wang?"

He had seen Wang Yao many times, just never spoken with him before. Even so, he wasn’t timid.

"I’ve long heard of Chief Judge Wang’s reputation, but seeing is believing, and you truly are wise and mighty!"

Xu Liang walked up next to the person, speaking with a cheerful grin.

It wasn’t really flattery, not even...

Not even Wang Yao felt this kid in front of him was a bit cheeky, he immediately darkened his face, couldn’t help but snort coldly:

"Ha!"

"What kind of news have you heard about me? Tell me so I can hear."

Normally, this statement is for addressing mockery, usually nobody replies.

But the words were said.

Normally nobody replies!

Xu Liang happened to not be in the regular class during school, he was in class two!

Xu Liang immediately responded, "Nothing, just says you’re an old scholar, an old relic, quite rigid in judging cases, not knowing how to adapt?"

Wang Yao: ?

Upon hearing this, Wang Yao was stunned.

Even the elderly man at the desk who was ready to chat with Xu Liang paused, somewhat hesitant to speak.

The office atmosphere grew silent for quite a while.

"Absurd!!!"

Wang Yao instantly got angry, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said:

"Daring to slander public officials, isn’t he afraid of getting into a lawsuit!?"

Old relic? Old scholar?

Who gave him these slanders!?

Wang Yao thought, if he really were an old relic, he would definitely grab the biggest litigator in all Eastern Country right away!

He could even tolerate evidence surprises... although the weight of the evidence was undeniable, but tell him if he didn’t endure.

Even at that, can he really deserve the reputation of an old relic!?

Xu Liang quickly consoled, "Judge Wang, calm down. Now with the rise of the internet, all sorts of people speak recklessly behind masks, even in reality people have started being unreserved. Calm down."

"Who said all these!?" Wang Yao demanded angrily.

Xu Liang continued:

"Yang Ruoxi, my assistant, if you want to penalize her, I’ll give her a call."

Wang Yao: ?

Wang Yao suddenly got stuck, the emotion stuck in his throat neither rising nor falling, enduringly staring at Xu Liang, hesitating to speak for quite a while.

Only after a long time did he forcefully swallow back, his mouth twitched, and he uttered three words.

"She doesn’t count."

Xu Liang laughed, feeling slightly delighted inside.

’This old man is rather fun, just like his daughter.’

Indeed, teasing old men is still fun!

"Alright, such a big person like Chief Judge Wang, why are you still fussing with kids."
