What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Liu Yan? Old Tang's mind immediately conjured up an image of a frail, timid little girl who could barely speak coherently.

But now, looking at the girl in front of him, with bright eyes and neat teeth, full of cleverness – is this the same Liu Yan from back then?

Though Old Tang still lived at Yuefu Residential Complex, he spent more than half of the year outside, so he was not in close contact with Old Liu.

How does it feel like in the blink of an eye, the little girl who once stabbed someone with a knife has grown up so much!

Old Tang was still silent there, Liu Yan already smiled and said: "What's wrong, Uncle Tang, don't you remember me?"

"I remember, of course I remember... Are you here for an internship at the firm? I thought law firm interns were usually recruited during their junior or senior years? Are you a junior now?" Old Tang asked.

The lawyer nearby, naturally perceptive, immediately stepped forward and said: "Director, the interns we recruit now are not limited to juniors and seniors."

"As long as they can be dedicated to the cases, even freshmen and sophomores are allowed to intern, provided it's during the summer or winter break."

This is to implement Old Tang's idea that "professional skill isn't important; what's important is being dedicated."

Although freshman and sophomore law students are only beginning their legal journey, we can already evaluate if they are suitable for Tengda.

Professional skills aren't that significant at the early stage; instead, the way of thinking and level of dedication are the key factors considered by Tengda.

Liu Yan also chimed in at this time: "Yes, Uncle Tang, I've just finished my freshman year, and this summer, I'll be starting my sophomore year."

Upon hearing this, Old Tang smiled: "So you've already passed the interview, then wait for the task assignment first... Qingqing, once they finish assigning tasks, you bring her over."

Wang Qingqing nodded with a smile, but her gaze towards Liu Yan was a bit peculiar.

Old Tang walked around, chatted with some interns, and felt genuinely impressed; those who passed Tengda's screening all had excellent qualities.

In fact, in a field like law that heavily relies on experience, being able to intern at a professional law firm or court as a freshman or sophomore already puts one far ahead of their peers.

This has never been a field to follow the beaten path.

Similar to law is medicine, and looking at their studies, not to mention the five-year duration, to enter a hospital, one basically starts from the doctorate level.

Other law firms might treat these people like cattle, but at Tengda, they'll genuinely learn things.

After making rounds and returning to the office, Liu Yan soon followed by Wang Qingqing came in.

"I didn't expect you to study law, it's not exactly a lucrative major. What about your dad, didn't he offer any advice?" Old Tang asked with a smile.

After that incident, the girl was taken to the countryside for a while, it really had a big impact.

Liu Yan replied: "Uncle Tang, if it weren't for you back then, I would've surely been convicted, so even though I was very withdrawn at the time, I made up my mind. I hope one day I can help others like you did!"

"So, I applied to Handong Political Law, and now I've applied for an internship at Tengda..."

Liu Yan said a lot, and Old Tang listened quietly. Back then, when she got locked up in the Detention Center, she once considered suicide, but at that moment, Old Tang appeared.

Driven nearly mad by the approaching end of his life, Old Tang exerted all his skills and turned the case into self-defense, sending those few little bastards inside.

Letting them receive legal education.

Likewise, Old Tang naturally remained etched in Liu Yan's memory; in the little girl's eyes, he was the man radiating golden light.

Childhood experiences greatly influence many people, though sometimes we forget our dreams from those early days.

But Liu Yan, she memorized the words Old Tang taught her, progressing step by step, fearing not the slow pace but stopping altogether.

Now she has arrived at Tengda, though only as an intern.

This time, Old Tang did not smile, he simply said: "Becoming a lawyer like your Uncle Tang is not easy, but having such aspiration is always good."

"You've reached Tengda, this is just the first step; becoming a true lawyer, you still have a long way to go, so, work hard."

Liu Yan nodded, and thus the conversation ended.

Watching Liu Yan's departing figure, Old Tang felt quite content, at least the things he's done over the years haven't been in vain.

Now there are quite a few people learning from him, like Zhang Wei, like Old Han, like Liu Yan...

It seems there's a different creature mixed in, well let's not mind such details.

Long ago he hoped to become a cornerstone of legal construction, and now, he still holds onto this thought.

Wang Qingqing stood by all the time, and now she saw Liu Yan walking far away and finally said: "Brother Tang, is she the middle school girl you helped back then?"

Old Tang nodded: "Yes, as time flows like water, unconsciously, she has grown up too."

Wang Qingqing said nothing, perhaps she's just used to the breeze at the entrance of the law firm.

Old Tang sat down to continue reviewing files, also started looking at private messages in the backend. Relaxation time was over, he had to start striving for his lifespan again.

Actually, he himself didn't know how his path should proceed, but for now, he can only continue along this road.

As time slowly passed, Old Tang's day wasn't just about going through files; he would also meet some clients, and argue with the firm's lawyers, helping to resolve some issues.
