208: Who doesn't know that I, Zhou Yun, know the limits best?
To be safe, Xiao Duan only sent over four screen recordings.
Zhou Yun checked the case files of other lawyers at the Zhentian Law Firm while watching the videos, occasionally "reasoning" with the lawyers.
"Is this how you handle this case? Even my dog Wangcai could find a better entry point than you. Didn't I tell you on the fifteenth of last month that similar cases shouldn't be approached from the perspective of infringement? What's wrong with you?"
"And don't you laugh, your case is just as bad. Go write me a new two-thousand-word paper and re-organize your thoughts on this case!"
Just like that, the lawyers looked as if they had been through a storm when they walked out of the office.
But their mood wasn't particularly bad, because Director Zhou would always offer alternative ideas and insights after he finished scolding them.
Zhou Yun was still watching the screen recordings. He hadn't been online much lately, and he didn't expect these colleagues to jump out again.
For example, Lawyer Tian Xiangshan from Liheng Law Firm said in the screen recording that the cases handled by a certain internet-famous Lawyer Zhou from Jinghai City's Zhentian Law Firm were all based on his reputation, and he even posted the cases online, but they were actually completely unfeasible.
And there was Liu Yaohui from Tianyu Law Firm, who was sarcastically saying that a certain internet-famous lawyer thought he was the only righteous one in the world, but he himself was constantly violating regulations and engaging in unfair competition…
Well, the professor from Modu previously started from the cases, but he was so refuted by Zhou Yun that he never dared to speak again.
Now these people don't dare to start from the cases, they are starting from other aspects, which is interesting. Since that's the case, then let's just have a heated debate!
Who in the Jianghu doesn't know that Zhou Yun loves debates the most? At that time, we will go through it word by word, and debate, to see if what you say is actually correct.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou felt increasingly excited. Imagine, debating in front of so many fellow lawyers, what a wonderful thing that would be.
On the other side, Old Zhuang in the director's office sneezed. His meeting shouldn't have any problems, right?
He had already communicated with the Bureau of Justice. In this situation, no lawyer should dare to do anything, right?
Hmm, thinking of this, Old Zhuang felt there was no need to worry. What could go wrong with just a meeting? And Zhou Yun was there too.
Three days later, there was still no news from the publicity department. It was estimated that this video was indeed more troublesome. Zhou Yun also didn't rush them, just waiting patiently.
The Jiangdong Province Lawyers Association held a provincial lawyers' representative conference, and leaders from the Justice Department were also to attend and speak.
This meeting was scheduled for two days, and at around eight in the morning, Zhou Yun and Old Zhuang arrived at the Provincial Lawyers Association. The first plenary session was about to begin.
Along the way, everyone greeted the two of them. Old Zhuang wore a faint smile, feeling quite pleased inside.
Because Zhou Yun had behaved exceptionally well all along, truly seeming like a lawyer from the Zhentian Law Firm.
Bah, bah, bah, Lao Mr. Zhou was originally from the Zhentian Law Firm, and he was the director of the Zhentian Law Firm, so it was normal for him to listen to him. Yes, that's right.
The two had already found their seats. Old Zhuang was on the rostrum, and just as he was about to go up, Zhou Yun called out to him.
"Director, let me tell you something. There are a few lawyers participating in today's meeting who have been speaking ill of me online. I want to debate with them after the meeting. Should be no problem, right? You can handle it, right?"
Huh? Old Zhuang was startled, but he still said, "Of course there's no problem. What's this small matter... Just don't go too far."
Zhou Yun quickly said, "Director, you know me. I'm a person who knows how to keep things in proportion."
Watching Zhou Yun walk away excitedly, Old Zhuang pressed his heart. It should... it should be fine, right? It's just a debate.
He suddenly felt that perhaps he shouldn't have brought Zhou Yun along...
The conference was very successful, and the leaders' speeches were profound yet easy to understand, earning round after round of applause.
Tian Xiangshan also applauded, but she was actually a bit impatient, as she felt such meetings were meaningless.
Or rather, the greatest value of such meetings was to provide lawyers with a venue for expanding their network; otherwise, they had no other significance.
For Lawyers Association leaders, you basically know who will be elected before the meeting. Normally, there won't be any surprises.
It's similar for other associations, like the Writers Association, when they hold a representative conference, it's very clear who will be elected...
Of course, there are also those who say, "I'm not going to vote for him," but they are few. Most people still conform.
And if you don't vote for the person on the list, then besides abstaining, you must fill in a name. Who do you write? What if they call out the votes, so-and-so with so many votes, so-and-so with one vote?
That guy would definitely feel like you're messing with him...
Tian Xiangshan was very annoyed with Zhou Yun, and by extension, with Zhentian Law Firm and Zhuang Zhenrui.
She didn't want to vote for Zhuang Zhenrui to be the president at all, but there was nothing she could do.
The first plenary session ended. Tian Xiangshan was packing her things, preparing to return to the hotel, when she suddenly found someone standing in front of her.
"Hello, are you Lawyer Tian Xiangshan? I am Zhou Yun from Zhentian Law Firm." The handsome young man in front of her spoke.
Tian Xiangshan glanced at the name tag on the table, then looked at the sincere-faced handsome young man opposite her, and fell silent.
However, Handsome Zhou didn't mind the awkwardness and spoke again, "I heard Lawyer Tian said during a live broadcast that I rely solely on my reputation to handle cases, and there's no practical operational aspect to them?"
As soon as these words came out, the lawyer representatives who were about to leave immediately stopped. Meals could be eaten anytime, but this kind of face-to-face confrontation was not so easy to come by.
Especially when one of the parties was the famous Zhou Yun from Jinghai City.
In the crowd nearby, Liu Yaohui was also enjoying the show, even pulling out his phone to record a video.
Anyway, as long as Zhou Yun's face was covered when it was posted... that was Zhou Yun's only request.
Tian Xiangshan looked at the people around her. She didn't like getting into arguments with others in front of so many colleagues, so she hesitated and smiled, "Lawyer Zhou, I'm not very clear about what you're saying. I..."
Before she could finish, Zhou Yun took out his phone, opened the screen recording Xiao Duan had sent earlier, and turned the volume up to maximum.
Immediately, Tian Xiangshan's voice came out from the recording, and the surrounding lawyer representatives became even more excited. Holy cow, Zhou Yun came prepared!
"Lawyer Tian, we are all legal professionals. As the saying goes, truth becomes clear through debate. If you have any opinions about me, you can say them all. How about we have a good debate?"
Being surrounded by so many colleagues and being openly challenged like this, after several times, Tian Xiangshan finally couldn't hold back. She raised her voice and shouted, "Lawyer Zhou, I just said that casually during a live broadcast. Is it really necessary to go this far?"
"What do you mean 'necessary or not necessary'? Lawyer Tian, I just want to debate with you and see if I really only rely on my reputation to handle cases. I don't mean to make things difficult for you." Zhou Yun still smiled.
The surrounding lawyers were already beaming with joy. To encounter something like this at this conference was truly worth it.
But then again, this Lawyer Zhou really... repays every grievance.
And Zhou Yun looked at the crowd again and said, "Oh, Lawyer Liu Yaohui in the back, and Lawyer Zhang... you all wait, let's have a good debate..."
Huh? Liu Yaohui, who was happily watching the drama in the crowd, was stunned. Holy cow, I'm involved too?
Handsome Zhou was already in full swing. He wasn't targeting anyone specifically, but rather the issue. You say I'm this and that, but there must be a basis for it, right? All my cases are based on reputation?
Did I have a reputation when I handled my first case? Or did I become famous enough for everyone to recognize me before I got stabbed?
Truth becomes clear through debate.
More and more lawyers gathered to watch, and the few lawyers stopped by Zhou Yun didn't know whether to leave or stay. They could only force themselves to say something, but it was useless.
Originally, what they said online was just casual trash talk, feeling annoyed with Zhou Yun and being sarcastic. Who would have thought this person would actually watch the live broadcast and even record it!
Since it was a conference venue, a crowd quickly formed, and someone soon came to understand the situation. After understanding, they were also dumbfounded and could only report the situation to the leaders.
Old Zhuang was chatting with the leaders of the Justice Department when he heard the news and was instantly dumbfounded.
The leader of the Justice Department, however, smiled, "Lawyer Zhou debates with a group of lawyers, how interesting. It's good for young lawyers to have some spirit."
