Wang Deyou had just come back from the trial in the afternoon, and was looking at the case file of the court the day after tomorrow, when he suddenly received a call from Fang Yi and felt very strange, this was the first time that Fang Yi had asked himself to go to his office for tea after being promoted to deputy director, and he didn't know why.

Since Wang Deyou transferred to Sidley Austin with the team, the legal aid team has been promoted to a separate department, with five staff members, and Wang Deyou has been promoted to team leader, on the same level as the legal counsel team and the litigation team. Of course, this is inseparable from Fang Yi's strong support.

Although the legal aid business is not a good business, it is better than stability, and Wanke Law has connected all the legal aid resources of Wanhua United Law Firm. Although the money for each case is not much, it can make some money and add some fame to Sidley Austin by winning by volume.

Five minutes later, Wang Deyou sat on the sofa in Fang Yi's office.

Fang Yi handed him Ma Sida's resume, and after Wang Deyou took the resume, he laughed: "This Zhou Yuanzhong came to you through the back door." ”

"What's going on? Do you understand this week? Fang Yi poured him a cup of tea and asked.

"Well, Zhou Yuanzhong is a good lawyer, but he is more reasonable. I know him a little bit, he is a new lawyer recruited by the legal aid team this year, and Huang Yuanchao originally wanted him to do litigation business in the past, but he was unwilling, so he wanted to do legal aid business.

At first, I thought he had a brain problem, but after learning about his experience, I realized that he was a lawyer worthy of my admiration. Wang Deyou said with a serious face.

"Oh? Tell me about this lawyer Zhou, what is his situation? Fang Yi asked curiously. can make Wang Deyou admire, this Zhou Yuanzhong is definitely not simple.

Wang Deyou recounted what he knew.

Zhou Yuanzhong grew up in a remote mountainous village under a 100-year-old poverty-stricken county. The location of the place where he lives is relatively special, at the junction of the two provinces, and it was necessary to repair it ten years ago, but every time he applied for the money, there was no movement of the mountain road, and he walked through the mountains and walked for more than two hours to the county seat of the neighboring province.

In order to make a living, his parents worked outside the home for a long time and had little time to spend with him, so he lived in the village with his grandmother and became a left-behind child. Lacking guidance, he began to smoke and fight with some delinquent teenagers in nearby villages very early, and did some things like stealing chickens and dogs.

After graduating he went to a technical school, but because he often hooked up with some bad teenagers outside the school, he fought in school, and was later persuaded to quit by the school.

After mixing outside the school for a while, he felt bored, so he had to follow his parents to work. Without education and work experience, he can only do some hard work, hard work for a day, smelly sweat, and can't earn a few dollars.

Later, he got some small goods, went to the flea market, and learned how to sell them. However, he used exaggerated and untrue methods to deceive customers to buy, and sometimes forced to buy and sell, although he made some money, but he was notorious in the market and was punished several times by the market management department.

After setting up a stall in the flea market to earn some money, he began to drink, sing, and pedal on many boats, and the relationship between men and women was chaotic, and he became a scumbag.

One day, Zhou Yuanzhong went crazy after drinking and almost beat his girlfriend to death. His father couldn't stand it, so he stopped him, and under the influence of alcohol, he picked up the bottle and hit his father, but fortunately his father reacted quickly and dodged it in time, and in turn pressed him to the ground and beat him, and sent his girlfriend to the hospital for treatment. When his father returned, he found him lying on the ground, asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he saw his girlfriend sitting in front of the bed with gauze wrapped in his head and crying, and his home smashed beyond recognition, and he didn't know what had happened. His girlfriend has always loved him deeply, and even if he was beaten, he didn't go to the police.

I don't know if it was my conscience that I found out, or if I was beaten by my father, the chaos in my brain was smoothed out, he was enlightened, and Zhou Yuanzhong decided that he couldn't go on like this.

This year, he was twenty years old.

With the help of his father, Zhou Yuanzhong found a job as a supermarket tally, and on the way to work, he happened to see an advertisement for the adult college entrance examination.

He didn't take it seriously at the time, but for the next few days, every night when he went to bed, he could dream of the ad.

So he had the idea of going to school, and secretly went to the adult college entrance examination training school, after some communication, Zhou Yuanzhong was not good at mathematics, and finally could only choose between majors such as law, English and psychology, and finally under the foolishness of the admissions teacher, he finally chose law, with the goal of becoming a lawyer.

One night, after dinner, he plucked up the courage to tell his parents about the idea of taking the adult college entrance examination. The parents were stunned for a long time and didn't speak, Zhou Yuanzhong was a hopeless scumbag in the hearts of the people around him, and his parents were afraid that he would cheat money and squander it.

But even so, his parents finally supported his choice and took out part of the savings from his part-time job and silently put them on the table.

That night, my father sat on the bench, smoking the cheapest cigarette, burying himself in the smoke with a frown, looking at a pair of worn-out yellow sneakers on his feet, and telling him: his parents are old and can't do it anymore, the family can only support him so much, and he can only rely on himself for the future.

Although his father didn't say it explicitly, Zhou Yuanzhong knew that if he took the money on the table and went to spend all day's time, he would really be finished, and even his parents would give up on him.

He decided to fight for himself and his family one last time.

After that, he changed to a job that went to work during the day, and after work, he pedaled his bicycle to the adult college entrance examination training school, and through disdainful efforts, he finally got a law college class at a university adult education college, and after three years of study, he finally obtained a college diploma, but the college diploma is not able to take the judicial examination, he must upgrade to a bachelor's degree, and after obtaining a bachelor's degree, he is eligible to take the judicial examination.

After that, he took the post-secondary entrance examination and was admitted to the law major of Chengjiao College, where he studied part-time for two years. Studying was hard and tiring, but Zhou Yuanzhong knew that this was his only way out, and in his spare time he found a job in a supermarket tally, and he worked full-time during winter and summer vacations.

In order to save money, he eats very simple meals at every meal, soy tofu, steamed buns, and free soup in the canteen are his three meals a day, because of malnutrition, his body is emaciated.

Two years later, he graduated with honors, after which he took the bar exam, passing 410 points in one sitting.

Although he passed the judicial examination, Zhou Yuanzhong's road as a lawyer was not smooth. Because he is an academic qualification for the adult college entrance examination, many law firms have rejected him. (End of chapter)
