Chapter 343 Law Students
The next day, Li You received a call from Zhao Taixie.
"Chairman Lee," Cho Tae-seop's voice was polite and friendly, "Do you have any free time this afternoon?"
"Yes, yes," Li You said with a smile, "I wonder what Councillor Zhao wants to say?"
“Isn’t this something I mentioned before,” Cho Tae-seop laughed cheerfully, “Didn’t I organize law student clubs at every major university in Seoul?”
“I’ve been giving them lectures these days.”
"I am planning to give a lecture to students at Seoul National University tomorrow. I wonder if President Li is interested in attending as a guest speaker?"
"Of course, no problem," Li You smiled, "Do you want me to invite a few prosecutors to attend?"
"It just so happens that today is the weekend, so maybe some prosecutors are taking a break."
"That's great," Zhao Taixie laughed, "It's not convenient for me to invite a prosecutor for them, so I'll trouble Chairman Li."
The matter was settled, and Li You immediately contacted Park Tae-soo.
"Chairman Nim," Park Tae-soo ascended to the position of deputy prosecutor with the help of Lee Woo, without the slightest disrespect, "You came to me."
“Are you free to attend a lecture?”
Li You smiled and told Park Tae-soo what had just happened.
This matter is not only to save face for Cho Tae-seop, but also to supplement the personnel in his own judicial system.
These students from the Seoul National University Law School are all talented people, and most of them can become members of the judicial system, whether lawyers, judges or prosecutors.
"Of course," Park Tae-soo said with a respectful smile, "I have also heard about this organization initiated by Councillor Zhao. I heard that Councillor Zhao attaches more importance to these students than before."
"Councilman Zhao," Li You laughed, "this is a man with great ambitions."
In the afternoon in Seoul, the sun shines through the sparse clouds and onto the campus of Seoul National University.
Li You, wearing a neat suit, got out of a black sedan. Park Tae-soo and Yang Dong-chul got out of the car behind and trotted towards Li You.
"President Nim," Li You reminded the two before they came not to be so obvious. After all, prosecutors still have to act seriously regardless of factions, but they still showed respect.
"Let's go," Li You nodded slightly and led the way to the lecture hall of Seoul University, with an imperceptible expectation in his eyes.
After entering the gate of Seoul University, students gathered in groups of two or three under the blossoming trees on campus, discussing or resting, their laughter and conversation floating gently in the air.
Several people walked slowly along the cobblestone path towards the building where the lecture hall was located.
The buildings on both sides are a good blend of classical and modern styles. They walked through this group of energetic young people, their eyes scanning the books and notes, which seemed to evoke memories of their past campus life.
"It's true," Park Tae-soo sighed, "It's exactly what I dreamed of at that time."
At that time, Park Tae-soo did not go to Seoul National University, but directly took the judicial examination, but this kind of university atmosphere was what he always wanted.
Outside the lecture hall, many students and teachers who came here for the lecture had gathered. Some of them were looking down at the books in their hands, while others were discussing in low voices the lecture that was about to begin.
With the arrival of the three, all eyes were focused on them.
Li You, who was in the lead, attracted special attention. He smiled and nodded to the people present. His calm and unhurried attitude seemed very stylish.
"Is that Chairman Li from the Kinmen Group?"
"Councilman Zhao even invited Chairman Li?"
"He has two prosecutors with him?"
"I know them. They were both prosecutors of the Southern District Prosecutors' Office." The student who spoke this time obviously had someone at home. He quietly revealed the identities of the two people. "Now, one is Deputy Director Park Tae-soo of the Northern District Prosecutors' Office, and the other is Director Yang Dong-chul of the Southern District Prosecutors' Office."
"It seems that President Li is the leader."
"Of course," a student laughed with mixed feelings.
Zhao Taixie's secretary was waiting outside the door. When he saw them, he hurried over and said, "Congressman Nim is preparing a speech for a while. Please follow me."
They followed the secretary to a place that was considered an office.
Zhao Tae-seop's secretary was not bluffing. Zhao Tae-seop was indeed reciting his speech seriously in there.
After hearing the noise, Zhao Taixie looked up and smiled apologetically at them. He did not stand up until he finished reciting it.
"Chairman Lee, Vice Minister Park, Minister Yang," Cho Tae-seop stepped forward quickly, "I'm sorry for the poor reception."
"It's okay," Li You shook hands with Zhao Taixie, "I just don't know how Councillor Zhao is preparing now?"
He smiled and sat down with Cho Tae-seop. “Just now, I heard Councillor Cho reciting the manuscript. I think it must be a great encouragement to the students.”
Zhao Taixie laughed and said, "President Li, you are too kind."
"These things are also for the future of our judicial system in the Republic of Korea."
A few people talked about this and laughed.
After sitting for a while, Zhao Taixie checked his watch and confirmed the time. "The lecture is about to begin. I guess the students have already taken their seats."
"Everyone, are we ready to go too?"
"What about those students who are auditing the class?" Li You asked casually, "Should we let them in?"
"Although this is a lecture for the law society, all students from Seoul National University can attend," Cho Tae-seop nodded. "We have prepared small folding chairs outside. Students who arrive late and don't have a seat can find a place to sit inside."
Zhao Taixie and Li You walked in front, Park Tae-soo and Yang Dong-chul walked behind, and they walked towards the stepped classroom.
On the way, Li You inadvertently caught a glimpse of a poster showing the school's history. As he got closer, the tense atmosphere of the lecture gradually became thicker.
Many teachers and students who came here because of its reputation had gathered inside and outside the lecture hall. Most of those outside were those who didn’t get a seat or even a folding chair.
The moment the four people stepped into the lecture hall, everyone's eyes were focused on them.
Li You and Zhao Tae-seop were fine. They smiled and faced these energetic faces.
But for Park Tae-soo and Yang Dong-chul, although they had already tasted the power, this kind of support was the first time, and they felt an inexplicable excitement in their hearts.
Li You and the other two sat in the first row as guests, and Zhao Taixie stood on the podium. He swept his eyes across the eyes below, and a feeling of pride surged in his heart.
Zhao Taixie took a deep breath and began his speech in a clear and firm voice.
“.”
He first introduced himself and then joked about the current economic situation.
“Everyone has the freedom and power to dream, but what is the use of only having the freedom and power to dream?”
Zhao Taixie smiled and said, "There must be opportunities to realize dreams easily, and opportunities must be given to everyone fairly and equitably."
From his words, it is not difficult to see that the target group that Zhao Taixie seeks support from is not all Seoul University students, as that is too broad a range.
What he really values and wants to recruit are the poor students.
“Diverse times call for diverse voices, and diverse voices must have equal power!”
"Only in this way can poor families cultivate talents, and the young generation who dream and act, as well as the hopes of the next generation, can protect our society."
“The world belongs to those who have dreams. I hope you will have dreams and get a future.”
Zhao Taixie looked around and said, "Please everyone, protect our present and our future."
"I'm Cho Tae-seop, and I'm willing to help you."
The entire lecture hall was filled with thunderous applause. Li You and the two prosecutors beside him also smiled and applauded.
Li You listened to the applause beside him and was certain of one thing.
These people have definitely been screened, and it is likely that most of them are poor students.
"Of course," Zhao Taixie pointed at the three of them with a smile, "We also have like-minded friends who want to protect our future together."
"Chairman Li of the Kinmen Group, I think you have all heard of his name."
"The people's entrepreneur, confirmed the filming of "The Crucible""
Zhao Taixie opened his hands and said, "I don't know how many wonderful things Chairman Li has done."
"He also hopes to help you realize your dreams."
