140: Lao Zhuang: He just spoke to me in a leadership tone.

The first half of the live broadcast was fine, but during the audience Q&A session in the second half, some strange questions arose again.

For example, a question that has been asked countless times: what crime is it to rape oneself?

This is a classic case, a truly classic one: Zhang San, a female student, disliked another female student in her dormitory.

So, she found a social deviant online to rape her roommate, gave him her roommate’s photo, and also gave him money.

As a result, when the social deviant entered the dormitory on a dark and windy night, he mistook Zhang San for the roommate and directly raped Zhang San.

It goes without saying that the social deviant committed rape; what crime did Zhang San commit?

Regarding this, Zhou Yun smiled and said, “You guys just keep finding these inexplicable questions, don’t you?”

“This is quite easy to understand. Think about it: Zhang San hired someone to rape her roommate. What is this? This is joint crime, no problem there, right?”

“Then, Zhang San prepared for the crime, including giving photos and money. What is this? This is preparation for a crime, no problem there, right?”

“Finally, the social deviant carried out the act, but he got the wrong person, so the roommate was not raped. What is this? This is attempted crime.”

“Therefore, Zhang San constitutes attempted rape.”

The netizens were stunned, feeling as if there was something wrong with this answer, yet the logic seemed to be correct.

However, the overall atmosphere was still relatively relaxed, but compared to other lawyers, most consultations were about ordinary cases.

This is also normal; how can there be so many bizarre cases in reality? So many lawyers live stream every day, and if everyone encountered bizarre cases when connecting, how would that be possible?

Of course, some viewers were not there for consultations but to ask questions.

For example, this netizen, who claimed to be a company boss.

“Lawyer Zhou, what I am currently confused about is why the state needs to specially legislate to protect laborers?”

Hearing this question, Zhou Yun casually said, “Oh, so you’re asking this, huh? I won’t say much about laborers being in a disadvantaged position or anything like that, you wouldn’t listen anyway.”

“Then I’ll answer you with what a certain expert said during the time of legislation: even animals have protection laws, so how can laborers not have protection laws?”

At this moment, many netizens holding their phones and watching the live broadcast were a bit confused; they felt that many things said by Lawyer Zhou were like this.

They sounded a bit inexplicable, but upon closer thought, they seemed to have another meaning…

Time quickly passed to the next day, and Zhou Yun arrived at the office to begin preparing for the lecture a week later.

He was very familiar with how to give lectures to law students.

Lectures these days are actually not easy to do, because many university lectures take up students’ rest time, so in most cases, attending lectures is linked to academic credits.

Only then can enough people be barely gathered, so it doesn’t look too shabby.

Otherwise, if an expert is invited to give a lecture and arrives to find only a handful of people, how embarrassing would that be for the expert?

In Zhou Yun’s view, if your lecture can only rely on coercive force to make students listen, then it is inherently a failure.

Leaving aside science and engineering, for liberal arts lectures, be it law or other fields, honestly, a two-hour lecture itself cannot go in-depth.

So, those things can be found with a quick search online, and AI explains them much better than you do, so why would they need to listen to you speak up there?

At noon, they are so sleepy they just want to nap, yet they are forced to sacrifice their lunch break to come and listen to a lecture, each one full of more resentment than anything else.

And then some experts even promote their books or whatever; what do you expect university students to think?

Zhou Yun’s approach is to get straight to the point.

There’s no need to explain what studying law is for; it’s meant to be used. So, let’s bring the Court directly to the lecture hall, and we’ll give you a live practical session. Isn’t this much better than just lecturing for two hours?

Once the first one is done, subsequent lectures will be easier; summarizing with case examples will definitely attract people who are willing to listen.

Interest is the best teacher. If you force them to listen, they won’t learn anything, and in the end, it all becomes a formality, with everyone just going through the motions.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yun said, “Xiao Duan, communicate with Jiangdong University of Political Science and Law and tell them the lecture might be delayed for a while.”

After all, finding a case that goes to Court within a week is relatively difficult.

This requires coordination from three parties.

Xiao Duan nodded, indicating no problem, and then went out to communicate with the school.

With the plan set, Zhou Yun arrived at Old Zhuang’s office door, about to knock, when he suddenly realized something seemed off.

A sign had appeared on the door at some point, with “Director’s Office” written on it.

It wasn’t there before, was it? When was it put up?

None of the offices at Zhentian Law Firm currently had such signs.

What kind of tantrum was Old Zhuang having now? Never mind, Zhou Yun didn’t bother with it. He knocked on the door and then pushed it open.

“Old Zhuang, let me tell you something. I’m preparing to give a lecture at Jiangdong University of Political Science and Law, and I need a case example. Can you see if our firm has any suitable cases in Jingnan District? Something recent.”

Inside the office, Old Zhuang looked up upon hearing this and said, “Huh? Making such a big deal out of it? I’ll help you look…”

At this point, Old Zhuang casually said, “Oh, by the way, did you see the sign at the door?”

Zhou Yun looked surprised upon hearing this and said, “What sign? I didn’t see anything. Oh, Old Zhuang, remember to get on it quickly, I’m waiting for the results here.”

“Also, help me coordinate with the Court. You should have no problem, right?”

Old Zhuang was still pondering what “get on it quickly, I’m waiting for the results” meant when he subconsciously said, “Of course no problem, I’ve got it covered!”

After Zhou Yun left, Old Zhuang was still pondering why he had just said he had it covered. Zhou Yun seemed to have spoken to him in a leader’s tone, hadn’t he?

But he certainly couldn’t say he couldn’t do it. How could President Zhuang, Director Zhuang, have anything he couldn’t handle in Jinghai!

After three minutes of thought, Old Zhuang suddenly realized… it must be that the sign was too small; getting a bigger one would solve the problem!

The higher-ups just spoke, and the subordinates ran themselves ragged. Soon, the lawyers below began searching for cases.

About half a day later, a pile of cases was reported and placed on Zhou Yun’s desk.

Zhou Yun looked at these case details. He wasn’t necessarily looking for cases that could be won; winning or losing didn’t matter. The main thing was that they had to be relevant to university students’ lives and interesting for them to read.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Yun stopped and said, “Xiao Duan, for this case, ask the client if they can come to the law firm.”

Xiao Duan looked at the case and then said, “Director Zhou, are you sure this is suitable? This is a case transferred from the Legal Aid Center. Will the plaintiff disagree…?”

Zhou Yun said nonchalantly, “What’s unsuitable about it? It’s not a case that can’t be heard publicly. Article 138 of the Civil Procedure Law stipulates it, and with Old Zhuang here, he’s got it covered.”

This regulation states that people’s Courts, when hearing civil cases, may conduct circuit trials and handle cases on the spot as needed.

Bringing the Court into the campus is a circuit trial. Why enter the campus? Because there is a need for legal education, so it is legally justifiable.

In short, if there’s a regulation, there’s a regulation; if there’s a connection, there’s a connection.

Xiao Duan immediately smiled upon hearing this: “You’re right, Director Zhuang will definitely have no problem.”

After speaking, Xiao Duan still didn’t leave, and Zhou Yun asked somewhat strangely, “Is there anything else?”

Xiao Duan chuckled and said, “Director Zhou, judging by the current evidence, the win rate for this case isn’t high, is it? If you lose…”

Zhou Yun laughed upon hearing this: “You worry too much about these trivial things every day. Do you think I chose it randomly? Besides, even if I lose, it doesn’t matter. Who hasn’t lost before?”

“First, let the client come to the law firm, and I’ll ask about the situation.”

Xiao Duan finally nodded this time: “Okay, Director Zhou, I’ll go now.”
