    I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 134

    “Please sit down.”

    Hyun Jun-seo brought me to his office and offered me a seat.

    “coffee? Or green tea? “There is water too.”

    Since they were offering drinks it didn’t seem like this was going to be a short story.

    “I would like some bottled water please.”

    ‘Aim to consume as little caffeine as possible.’

    Already the life pattern of law school students is not very good for health.

    My original intention was to avoid consuming caffeine as much as possible unless it was unavoidable.

    Hyun Jun-seo laughed and set down a glass of water in front of me.

    Then he poured a cup full of strong mixed coffee and poured it into his mouth.

    ‘…Is that okay?’

    It seemed that the unhealthy lifestyle did not end even after graduation. Is the life of a practicing lawyer so busy that he wouldn’t be able to survive without developing such habits?

    “I was impressed by the meeting.”

    Hyun Jun-seo sat across from me.

    “Intern Park Yoo-seung’s thoughts are correct. Article 3 Paragraph 1 of the Sexual Violence Act is an incorrectly drafted provision. In fact even now there have already been more than ten requests for unconstitutionality trials from courts across the country.”

    ‘I guess so.’

    When the provision was ruled unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court as many as 25 cases were merged into the decision.

    In other words 25 different courts recognized the possibility of unconstitutionality of this provision in different cases and requested a review of its constitutionality.

    It would not have been strange to say that a proposal had already been made at this point.

    “But you came to that conclusion as soon as you saw the matter. I still can’t believe it. “Are you really a first-year law school student?”

    “haha….”

    When I laughed it off Hyun Jun-seo stared at me for a long time and then opened his mouth again.

    “I heard it from attorney Seong Jin-tae. “Actually you want to be a prosecutor.”

    ‘ah.’

    That guy. How far did I go with my story?

    “it’s okay. The cameras aren’t rolling right now and it’s after work hours. “Please be honest and think that you are treating Hyun Jun-seo as a human being not Chan-sol’s partner.”

    “…no shame.”

    Fortunately Hyun Jun-seo’s attitude was gentle.

    “Actually I refused to join Jin & An but Attorney Seong Jin-tae gave me the confirmation as if he was forcing me to do it.”

    “You gave me an undeserved evaluation.”

    “It’s too much? Not at all. “Even if I were lawyer Sung Jin-tae I would have done whatever it took to catch intern Park Yoo-seung.”

    Hyun Jun-seo smiled.

    “Actually I still want to do that. “Even if we persuade someone whose dream is so strong that he even refuses to join Jin & An he won’t come to our law firm right?”

    Then he added another word.

    “There must be another purpose in deciding to appear on this show right?”

    “…To be honest yes.

    “I won’t ask what it is. “We are already benefiting each other enough.”

    Chansol’s purpose is to promote the law firm through broadcasting and create a good impression on many people. For that to happen ‘High Flyer’ must first be a hit and have good viewer ratings.

    Hyun Jun-seo explained that he had no regrets about me as Chansol’s partner because my existence would contribute to it in many ways.

    “Then you might be wondering why we called this place.”

    Hyun Jun-seo held out something to me.

    “Take it.”

    It was a business card. His title name and contact information are written as a partner attorney at Chansol Law Firm.

    ‘for a moment. ‘Something’s strange.’

    It was a little different from an ordinary business card.

    ‘The contact information listed here… is not the company office phone number.’

    While participating in the internship program I already received an official business card from Chansol Law Firm.

    Originally the contact information on this business card was supposed to include the office phone number of each partner attorney.

    However what was written instead was a personal mobile phone number starting with 010.

    “…Actually.”

    Hyun Jun-seo muttered softly.

    “I also once dreamed of becoming a prosecutor.”

    “yes?”

    “I wanted to become someone who would establish justice in this society with my own hands.”

    A voice full of longing and regret as if recalling something from a long time ago.

    “But eventually I gave up. “I got good grades at the training center but my family was so poor that they could not support themselves with the salary of a public prosecutor a public prosecutor.”

    It might be a different story if you were to receive the price of rice cake as seen on the news somewhere.

    However Hyeon Jun-seo laughed bitterly saying that the reason for applying to become a prosecutor in the first place would disappear.

    “Instead I joined Jin & Ahn and worked hard to make money. I was in charge of corporate legal affairs where a lot of money was exchanged. In the process… I saw heard and learned a lot.”

    Hyun Jun-seo displayed an article on his smartphone. It was an article that dealt with the reorganization of the governance structure of Myungjin Group a conglomerate ranked within the top 20 in the business world.

    “It was something I was in charge of advising on.”

    Hyun Jun-seo recalled that there was considerable noise regarding the governance structure of Myungjin Group at the time.

    In order to solve this problem Myungjin’s executives used all kinds of methods to cleverly cross the border between legal and illegal and forced a reorganization.

    Hyun Jun-seo’s job was to review parts of their work that could be legally problematic and find a way to ‘package’ them as if they were not problems.

    “I mean he’s a guy who breaks his faith when it comes to money. Thanks to this I have become very familiar with the dirty tricks used by powerful people.”

    Hyun Jun-seo joked like that then changed his expression to look serious.

    “Intern Park Yoo-seung. “No Mr. Park Yoo-seung.”

    “…yes.”

    “I believe in Park Yoo-seung’s skills and potential. “Park Yoo-seung will definitely be able to become a great prosecutor and he will not stop there and continue to achieve further success.”

    Hyun Jun-seo pointed to the article on his smartphone.

    “If you do that you will end up dealing with people like this. Those who have money and power. “A group of people who treat lawyers like their hands and feet and are adept at eluding the law like a loach.”

    “….”

    “I might be able to help you then.”

    I unconsciously held the business card handed to me tightly. The cool texture of the coated paper revealed its presence.

    “Of course the prosecution will have its own know-how. But wouldn’t it be different from what ‘insiders’ know? “If you need something like that please contact me at any time.”

    ‘oh my god.’

    I looked at Hyun Jun-seo blankly. There are few people with as much experience in corporate legal affairs as Hyun Jun-seo.

    For such an expert the knowledge and experience acquired through practical work was itself a valuable sales asset.

    If you were to convert its value into money it would probably be an unimaginable amount.

    But now Hyun Jun-seo was practically promising to share those assets with me.

    “…Why do you treat me like that?”

    “Because there is something I wish for.”

    Hyun Jun-seo responded immediately.

    “I am a person who has given up on his ideals and compromised with reality. But Park Yoo-seung won’t do that. “Isn’t it enough to want to entrust your shattered dreams to a talented junior?”

    A variety of emotions were complexly mixed in his eyes and voice. For me it felt like it would be rude to even dare to try to guess.

    That’s why I am.

    “…thank you.”

    All I could do was lower my head and say that.

    * * *

    After that filming for ‘High Flyer’ continued.

    “The winner of this assignment is intern Chae Song-ha.”

    “I will announce first place. Chae Song-ha intern.”

    “It was a little difficult to decide on the first place winner for this assignment… but this is intern Chae Song-ha.”

    Chae Song-ha who regained confidence from the first day’s performance showed remarkable performance in each task.

    She constantly pointed out important issues that other interns missed or continued to suggest creative solutions that no one else could think of.

    As a result he was able to win first place in most of the assignments.

    Of course I was able to do that because I controlled my strength to some extent after the first day.

    However excluding me the interns who came here were by no means hot pants. Weren’t all of them selected through fierce competition?

    Whether you look at their skills or their specifications they were all people who did everything one step at a time.

    It was truly amazing to show such great performance during that time.

    It was no longer a doll that was placed to collect sympathy votes.

    Supernova is showing off his potential to the fullest and stands out with his sparkling talent in the new field of law.

    In addition the unique background of being an idol and the topic of conversation.

    At this level unless Channel A’s entertainment department was stupid they would definitely edit Chae Song-ha to make her stand out as much as possible and send it on air.

    Finally the last day has arrived.

    “The person we have decided to hire at Chansol Law Firm is… intern Chae Song-ha. Congratulations.”

    ‘It’s finally over.’

    If it was short it was short; if it was long it was a long filming period.

    ‘I gained more than I imagined.’

    First of all the original goal of fulfilling Chae Song-ha’s will was easily achieved. By solving various internship tasks I gained diverse experiences and learned new knowledge.

    ‘More than anything I have an incredibly reliable future ally named Hyeon Jun-seo.’

    Being able to receive help from a corporate legal expert has always been a source of help. It wasn’t just a story about career or work.

    I am Park Yoo-seung the youngest son of Yuseong Group owner Park Geon.

    ‘And the Yuseong Group… is connected to Jeong Seok-gyu the dark figure in the original work.’

    The connection is very complex and strong. As of right now there is nothing I can do about it.

    However with enough time and preparation and if you can borrow Hyun Jun-seo’s knowledge you may be able to find another breakthrough.

    “Thank you for your hard work.”

    After the last filming was over I was leaning on the rooftop railing and gathering my thoughts when Chae Song-ha approached me.

    “Thank you for your hard work Chae Song-ha. Congratulations on the confirmation.”

    “Honestly it still doesn’t feel real. “I can’t believe I was accepted to such a good law firm…”

    After entering law school Chae Song-da was unable to avoid being treated as a poor student even if he tried well.

    ‘High Flyer’ was her first experience of achieving significant results in the field of law.

    “We will be able to do better in the future.”

    Chae Song-ha has talent. It just didn’t bloom properly because I didn’t know how to demonstrate it and lacked the experience of success.

    This incident will allow her to run further toward her goal.

    “School is starting soon.”

    “I guess you’re going back down to Gyeongnam.”

    “yes. “I already made a reservation for the KTX.”

    Chae Song-ha’s eyes seemed to have some regret.

    Since he said his hometown is Seoul he might be sad that his long time in Seoul is already over.

    Chae Song-ha who stood side by side for a moment taking in the night view moved his lips as if he had something he wanted to say.

    “I….”

    “Why are you doing that?”

    “…no. “I just wanted to say thank you.”

    ‘They said it’s okay.’

    Chae Song-ha’s performance was ultimately achieved through her own efforts. Besides haven’t I already been paid a lot for this incident?

    Of course it is not a bad thing for Chae Song-ha to feel indebted to me.

    It’s like adding a person with expertise in a field I don’t know much about to my network.

    ‘okay. ‘Good things are good right?’

    “Then go in carefully.”

    “You too Mr. Yoo Seung.”

    After filming ‘High Flyer’ was completed there really wasn’t much vacation left.

    After returning home I devoted all of the remaining time to making up for the gaps in my civil procedure law studies.

    It was true that I had been quite busy during the vacation but I couldn’t use that as an excuse to face the start of the semester while neglecting my duties.

    It was no exaggeration to say that the last few days were spent almost entirely at the desk except for eating sleeping and washing time.

    Soon time passed and it was the morning of the first day of school.

    – Visit my lab today between 4:00 and 5:00 PM.

    A message arrived from Professor Yong-Hwan Jang.
