Recently, a special correspondent interviewed Lin Rui, a rising lawyer at Qiyuan Law Firm.
Qiyuan Law Firm had made a name for itself in the industry. Its legal aid and criminal defense practices were both booming, and it had taken down one difficult fraudulent lawsuit after another. The firm was expanding rapidly, drowning in casework, and had earned an excellent reputation among the public.
Lin Rui, meanwhile, had been hailed as a "conscience of public-interest law," a "courtroom execution genius," and a "guardian of the vulnerable." He had an extraordinary ability to spot holes in evidence at a glance, along with an uncanny talent for predicting how cases would unfold.
Facing the camera, Lin Rui looked miserable and poured out his grievances.
"I'm really not some top-tier lawyer!"
"My sudden fame was entirely an accident!"
"At first, all I wanted was to do pro bono work and speak up for ordinary people in poverty..."
Who could have guessed that all he wanted was to do honest work and help ordinary people at the bottom of society get justice, yet every move he made proved unstoppable, with victory after victory in court? His opponents were bankrupted by the damages, and generous payments from grateful clients came one after another. Fame, wealth, and status in the industry all came crashing into his arms.
See? That's just how a genius lawyer's life goes: helplessly "low-key."
The reporter pressed him: "People say you achieved fame and fortune at a young age. What do you think about that?"
Lin Rui looked utterly defeated. "Honestly, I really don't want to get rich."
