Chapter 566: Chapter 384: Master! Patriarch of the Sect!
Wang Yao exclaimed in admiration.
Zhao Yi’s resume, summed up in two words.
Impressive!
Any case from it could help a judge rise in rank.
And all these cases were concentrated on one person, leaving Wang Yao feeling inadequate!
Although rapid promotion in a short time might seem irregular, the qualifications and resume were sufficient.
"But, I..."
Zhao Yi said in shock.
"Isn’t this against the rules!"
"What’s there to debate about it!"
Wang Yao smiled, patting his counterpart on the shoulder.
"Those with ability should rise, I have already discussed this with Dean Zhao."
"We need to give young people like you a chance, right?"
Being in his fifties, he wasn’t considered young within the system, but was at the peak of his career. As for retirement... aside from Zhao Yi, few were considering it!
"But..." Zhao Yi was anxious inside but dared not say more.
"Oh, what ’but’ is there."
Wang Yao thought he was concerned about regulations and immediately said:
"It’s getting late, the work day is over."
"Judge Zhao, go home and think about it carefully."
With those words.
He began to see his guest out.
Zhao Yi wanted to say something but couldn’t, only managing to hesitate before being forced to leave the office.
"Bang!"
The office door closed.
Watching the empty corridor, Zhao Yi felt a bit lost and sighed.
The joys and sorrows of people don’t interconnect.
Some worry about not getting promoted.
Others worry about suddenly being promoted...
"This isn’t right."
Zhao Yi sank into thought.
Meanwhile.
In Upper City.
...
Within Upper City.
The difference between boutique and Red Circle law firms is, the former is rarer and refined, while the latter is known as the ’noble law firms’ in the industry.
How are they evaluated?
Boutiques are understandable, but when it comes to Red Circles... without saying anything else.
Each firm brings in an average of a million per person!
Of course, if you claim that you and wealthy individuals are both billionaires... that would be to say that the scale of a Red Circle law firm typically involves 500 people internally!
Just this requirement alone is already daunting.
And perhaps you, being a 211 graduate, might seem impressive, might be cherished at other law firms, but once you enter a Red Circle, you’ll find it’s full of 985 alumni, all with networks and backgrounds!
Not to mention, their clients are state-owned enterprises, multinational corporations, top-tier financial institutions...
Throughout Eastern Country, how many of such firms were there when evaluating Red Circles in later years?
Eight!
Known as the Big Eight Red Circles.
Indeed, not all of these eight firms were in Upper City, but... only one was in Hai City.
The other seven firms were all in Upper City!!!
Small law firms in their startup phase wouldn’t even count as minor players, which is why Xu Liang never considered starting up in Upper City.
But for now...
October 7th.
In Upper City.
Within Jinhua Law Firm.
"Another law firm is coming to Upper City, and it seems to have quite the momentum."
At the end of the workday.
The firm’s chief, Song Guo, casually mentioned to Chairman Qian Feng.
Upon hearing this.
The middle-aged man in a suit raised an eyebrow and glanced over, setting down his coffee cup with a smile:
"Let them come, Upper City is big enough, is there not room for one more firm?"
"Or rather... is this firm special enough to catch Song’s attention?"
Upon hearing that.
Song Guo spoke expressionlessly: "The one from Qingshi City in Lanshan."
"Its momentum, reputation, and size are of medium scale, and Qingshi City doesn’t provide enough resources for its development. Judging by time... it should come."
Qingshi City, the one often mentioned in the papers?
Upon hearing this, Qian Feng’s expression tightened, knitting his brows.
"Is it necessary?"
"It is."
Song Guo became serious, "That law firm’s strength is considerable, and even without accessing Upper City’s resources, it reached its current size within just a year and a half. Once it arrives in Upper City, its growth speed... will be unimaginable!"
Unimaginable....
Why would a law firm come to Upper City?
It’s important to know that Hai City only hosts one Red Circle law firm, while the other seven are here, the competition is so fierce, why not head to Hai City and compete with that one?
The reason lies in the fact that Upper City has far more political and economic resources than Hai City!
Not to mention Lanshan Province, Xu Liang wasn’t even connected with these yet, and if they accessed state-owned enterprises and added prestige....
In the future, it might just become a competitor to Jinhua!
After thinking it through.
Qian Feng furrowed his brows, contemplated for a while, then asked:
"Do they have backing?"
Song Guo replied: "Their mentor is Upper City University’s Professor Wu Chengjun, and their senior is Lanshan Province’s Lin Fuqiang."
Lin Fuqiang being in Lanshan need not be considered.
As for the mentor....
Qian Feng chuckled.
Their law firm lacked nothing when it came to top law graduates from premier schools. Even if their background wasn’t as prominent as Wu Chengjun’s, it certainly wasn’t far behind!
"No matter."
Qian Feng stated:
"This is Upper City, where connections, abilities, backgrounds, and resources compete... having only ability is not enough."
"Background with only Professor Wu.... "
"It’s not enough!"
