Longshang Law Firm.
Chu Ke was at a loss.
The job market really was brutal!
As an outstanding graduate of one of Longguo's top law schools, he had made it through round after round of selection and landed an internship at the best law firm in Longshang.
He had not only done his job diligently throughout his year-long internship,
but had also used his own abilities
to help the firm solve several difficult legal cases.
And yet,
to his surprise,
the law firm planned to fire him before his internship was even over.
The reason? They wanted to free up a permanent position for a senior executive's son, who had only graduated from a junior college.
Before firing him, they paid him the amount awarded through labor arbitration. All he had to do was handle one legal aid case the firm had offered as an apology.
"Chu Ke, here's a bit of friendly advice."
"If you take this case, don't spend too much time preparing."
"First, the hearing is only two days away."
"Based on the evidence we have now, the plaintiff has nothing persuasive."
"And with so little time, you don't have much of a chance of finding useful material through your connections."
"Second, the defendant is a minor."
"Even a beginner knows how powerful the shield of being underage can be."
