The students did not care for the foreigner as their eyes were on the white-haired scholar.

“Sir!” Du Sisi was the first to stand up and went to greet him with a sincere smiling expression. “You're here, why didn't you call so I could come for you?”

The scholar did not pay particular attention to what she said, he simply waved with a Confucian manner. “It's just a short walk and I know which room it is. No need for you to come and fetch me.” He neither liked nor disliked Du Sisi. He did not care how well Du Sisi performed in the country because deep down, he only accepted one person as his disciple. The scholar was not aware of the presence of Helian Wei Wei in the crowd. He did not want to seem like an old man who was past his prime so he introduced the foreigner to the surrounding people. “This is Robert. You should have heard of his name before. There has never been a case that he could not win in the law industry. Quite a number of you are still doing law after graduation, so if you have any difficult cases, you can go to him. However, you have to know that Robert is extremely busy, hence, only seek help when you encounter a very complicated case. Are you clear?”

The scholar was undoubtedly a good teacher. Only a limited number of professors would still think of expanding their students' social networks by introducing people to them after graduation.

Robert was a gentleman, he tilted his head as he smiled, revealing the forthright manner of an American. “Hey Old Yuan, I can be pretty powerful but I am not invincible. There are some cases that I can't solve either.”

Even though he was speaking in English, it did not hinder the communication between him and the rest of the crowd. They were all from a prestigious university after all. They could understand and communicate in English even if they were not very proficient at it.

However, to lawyers, Robert was an ultimate idol.

There were countless legends about this man.

Anyone who was in the same industry would have heard of him.

Du Sisi always wanted to meet her professor's good friend but it took her professor almost forever to introduce this person to her.

Du Sisi was not clear of the reason previously but there was once when she visited her professor's house, she overheard her professor's wife saying in a low voice, “Are you thinking of keeping these contacts and pa.s.sing them to Helian Wei Wei later on? Old Yuan, why are you so stubborn? What's so good about that child? In my opinion, she can't compare with Sisi.”

“You don't understand.” The professor sounded infuriated at first, but he slowly softened his voice, appearing as though he was heaving a long sigh. “In this industry, you either compete with others over contacts or achievements. Everyone thought of becoming a lawyer to earn a good fortune. Who is seriously willing to help those in need of justice these days?

“Are you saying that Wei Wei doesn't fancy money? Come on, everyone is the same these days. Old Yuan, you've lived to this age, you should know this by now,” advised the wife.

Professor shook his head like a man in his twilight. “I taught Wei Wei myself. She was the only disciple I took in at the beginning. It was not because of her in-depth knowledge of law either. You haven't met this child. She might seem like nothing at first but she has been through a lot. In the legal community, you need people who aren't blank slates because people who are blank slates will be corrupted eventually. The kind of person who would be able to help those in need are those who have been through darkness and know the unspoken rules but have kept a pure heart in the end. I know that she has her own methods and it is extremely applicable in this industry because her methods are not conventional. When she was in school, she was barely 20 but she knew how to gain the upper hand. However, it didn't matter because the way she handled things was very honest. She has a kind, righteous heart. Sisi is not accepted because she wants to be under my care only because I can contribute to expanding her social networks. If I'm an ordinary teacher, she wouldn't have visited me so often. They are fundamentally different. So, how do you expect me to pa.s.s everything on to her?”

Du Sisi's face darkened upon hearing that. She was on the other side of the door, and she crushed the strawberries that were being washed. Now, her heart was full of hatred. What era is it now? People only care about one's family background, even when others read novels or watch television, they opt for relaxing and funny ones. Who would care about righteousness at this moment in time? If it is not for the fact that this old man is of use to me, I would have stomped off immediately. What a dream to think that she was genuinely willing to serve him!

Isn't he thought that Helian Wei Wei is incomparable to others? Now she could not wait to see how her professor would react once he found out that his most beloved student had become nothing but a mechanic. She wondered if he would ever talk nonsense about the sense of justice!

Thinking of this, Du Sisi opened her mouth again, saying, “Oh well, sir! I bet you are not informed that Wei Wei is here today.” As she spoke, she turned her head over. “Excuse me, can you all please make room for Wei Wei to walk over?”

As a large number of male and female students had surrounded Professor Yuan when he entered, causing his line of sight to be blocked.

Obviously, never had Professor Yuan thought that he would be able to meet Helian Wei Wei again. After all, no one knew exactly where she went ever since she transferred to another school.

“Sir.” Du Sisi tugged Professor Yuan's arm. “Didn't you know that Wei Wei is leading a difficult life now? The boyfriend that she was seeing now was not of much help to her. She even has to ride a motorbike to work every day. Her body will always be covered with dirt after she finishes fixing the cars. Normally, she also has to look after her kids.”

Professor Yuan was clearly heartbroken when he heard the news. He looked at Helian Wei Wei who was making her way toward him. He knew that it was hard to survive in this industry.

However, deep down, he thought everyone could choose not to become a lawyer except Helian Wei Wei.

He found it hard to imagine that his best student would live a life as mentioned by Du Sisi.

“Sir.” Helian Wei Wei stood in front of him and smiled. “You haven't changed a bit. You still love carrying a law dictionary around. Is it all in English?”

This child…what a pity.

Professor Yuan did not know what to say; his eyes were hazy. “It's good to see you here, it's good to see you here.”

“Wei Wei, did you know that after you left, our professor talked about you all day long. After all, he spent so much time and effort on you,” Li Meng heaved a long sigh before she continued, “but who would have thought that you didn't even become a lawyer, and ended up working as a mechanic in some rural area. You have really failed to live up to our professor's expectations.”

Helian Wei Wei did not reply because her vision was not focused on Li Meng. Instead, she gave Robert a meaningful stare.

Robert felt as though it was some sort of illusion before him. Oh my G.o.d!
