Everyone at the table turned their attention to that direction.

Pei Zhaodao: "When I was in middle school, there was a very famous forced demolition case on the Internet."

“Ah, I know that! Because of an urban village project, a few people went to a farmer’s house to carry out a forced demolition. They beat the homeowner couple and their young son. When the men weren’t paying attention, the male homeowner picked up a machete from the yard and attacked them, resulting in three deaths and three injuries among the people involved in the forced demolition, right?” Dong Yuanyuan chimed in.

Pei Zhao nodded: "Yes, it's that case. Because self-defense is rarely ruled out in China, and the injury wasn't actually happening at the time, many people said that the court didn't dare to rule on self-defense. In the first two trials, the male homeowner was found guilty of excessive self-defense. The third trial was transferred to Jiang Xuanzhou, and the final judgment ruled that the male homeowner acted in self-defense."

Everyone knows about this case, and it was the key case that made Jiang Xuanzhou famous overnight.

Pei Zhao continued, "I hope to become a lawyer with a sense of justice like Attorney Jiang, so when I chose between arts and sciences, I gave up the more advantageous sciences and chose arts, and eventually came to study law."

Dong Yuanyuan immediately added, "My idol is also Attorney Jiang, but unfortunately he had already switched to non-litigation work when I entered the profession. I only saw him from afar when I was a child, and I haven't seen him since I entered the profession."

Upon hearing that Dong Yuanyuan had met Jiang Tingzhou, Pei Zhao's expression immediately lit up. "Have you met Attorney Jiang? Where did you meet him? He's a very mysterious person. The cases he handles are all off-limits to the public and are not broadcast live. He has never appeared in public or given an interview. Apart from the people around him and the parties involved in the cases, basically no one has ever seen him."

He Wenqian knew Dong Yuanyuan's mother and knew about their family situation.

He thought Dong Yuanyuan was bragging and quickly said, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? I've never even met Jiang Xuanzhou."

Xu Wan knew what Dong Yuanyuan was going to say.

But she didn't move an inch; her mother's actions weren't shameful.

She is not afraid of what others say, and she will no longer hide.

“I’ve seen him. I’m from Yinyi Town. Jiang Xuanzhou’s first case after graduation was legal aid, which was a very famous case in our area. He didn’t hide from people at the time, and many people have seen him.”

"Yeah?"

Pei Zhao is clearly a huge fan of Jiang Xuanzhou.

Upon hearing Dong Yuanyuan's words, he immediately became interested. He quickly realized that this was a business dinner at the law firm and whispered, "I'll ask you about it privately."

"OK."

Dong Yuanyuan smiled happily.

When Dong Yuanyuan joined the law firm, she secretly looked at the information of the interns. The other interns all came from well-off families, but Pei Zhao's family was the best.

His father was a politician and his mother was a businesswoman. They were well-off and he was an only child. If she married him, she wouldn't have to work or worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Dong Yuanyuan had previously worried that she and Pei Zhao were too different and wouldn't be able to talk to each other.

Unexpectedly, the two found common ground because of Jiang Xuanzhou.

Ultimately, I still want to thank Xu Wan.

Su Qiong has been in the industry for many years and has seen too many people and things. With just a few words and expressions from Dong Yuanyuan, she could guess what this young girl was thinking.

Where are you here to work?

She's here to snag a rich husband!

“By the way,” Su Qiong said to Pei Zhao, “one of our partners is very familiar with Jiang Xuanzhou. I heard him say before that he wanted Jiang Xuanzhou to be a partner, but I don’t know if it will work out.”

Pei Zhao almost lost control of his expression, his cheeks flushed red: "Really?!"

Su Qiong smiled and said, "Really, I'll ask around for you another day. But I heard that Jiang Xuanzhou is now working in another field, so I don't know if this will work out."

Pei Zhao couldn't hear a word that followed.

All he could think about was getting so close to his idol.

Seeing his expression, Su Qiong turned her gaze to Xu Wan and asked her in a low voice, "You should have met Jiang Xuanzhou, right?"

After all, the case Dong Yuanyuan just mentioned is the case of Xu Wan's mother.
