Zhang Tao said, "I was able to buy this electric scooter because I tutor every day... I work part-time jobs from morning till night without any rest. I just want to earn more money..."

Yin Xiaodong bit his lip.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen is so good at arguing.

Yin Xiaodong said, "If that's the case, then I have evidence here!"

"A student captured Zhang Tao's daily life..."

"Recently, Zhang Tao got a girlfriend and bought her over twenty roses, which added up to 200 yuan."

"Zhang Tao also went to buy gifts for his girlfriend...."

"The two have been dating for a month, and Zhang Tao often asks his girlfriend out for meals, hot pot... he was even caught by classmates dining at Haidilao."

"Zhang Tao even posted on his WeChat moments that they went to play at Happy Valley, traveling locally...."

"This is all money!"

"How can a poor student have so much money to spend?"

"With so much consumption, it obviously exceeds the scope of a poor student. Truly impoverished students can't afford these things; they even have to consider how much to spend on meals!"

Yin Xiaodong said.

He simply wanted to prove Zhang Tao isn't a poor student.

With this, their case would be unbeatable.

Yin Xiaodong said, "Based on Zhang Tao's series of spending behaviors mentioned above, the school judged that Zhang Tao doesn't meet the standards for a poor student, so they didn't award him with financial aid. Later, after Zhang Tao made trouble many times, the school verified the situation and finally granted Zhang Tao third-class financial aid, which was very accommodating."

"I can only say Zhang Tao's spending has far exceeded that of an ordinary poor student; he spent a lot on electronic products, consumption, entertainment, enjoyment, playing, and traveling..."

"Therefore, the school believes Zhang Tao doesn't meet the standards for a poor student."

After Yin Xiaodong finished, Gu Chen immediately stood up.

Gu Chen said, "Judge, I think the defense lawyer's words are too absurd."

"The defense lawyer is also a professor in the law department of Yangcheng University; do you know what a poor student is?"

"Isn't your definition of a poor student too narrow?"

"You mean, poor students are the poorest of the poor, able to spend their money only on tuition and basic meals, meals that should be the simplest and cheapest!"

"They can't have entertainment activities, can't date, can't party, and can't gather for meals."

"And once they have a bit of high spending activity, you say they're not poor students."

"Is it up to you to define how poor students spend their money?"

"What's wrong with a poor student falling in love? Does being poor mean he can't date?"

"Does being poor mean he can't buy flowers?"

"Does being poor mean he can't go out to have fun?"

"Are poor students not human?"

"Can't poor students occasionally enjoy life?"

"Can't poor students occasionally eat at Haidilao?"

"Why, is Haidilao something only the rich can afford, and the poor aren't entitled to eat there? Is that what you mean?"

"The condition for being a poor student refers to students from families with financial difficulties! Families with annual incomes below a certain standard are considered poor students!"

"I just want to ask, isn't Zhang Tao impoverished?"

"Zhang Tao has no parents; his family has an elderly person who doesn't have a pension."

"Where does Zhang Tao's money come from? Who can give him money?"

"Zhang Tao can only earn it himself! He works hard at part-time jobs; his school records of part-time jobs are there. I can say no one is more diligent than him."

"He buys electronic products for studying; do you know Zhang Tao's performance in specialized courses? His grades in specialized courses have always been the top in his field!"

"Zhang Tao earned money, worked day and night at part-time jobs, and tutored at night. After earning money, can't he eat a meal at Haidilao? Can't he fall in love?"

"Just because he's a poor student, should he be deemed not a poor student simply because he spends a bit more, entertains himself a bit?"

"Is this your definition of a poor student?"

"Zhang Tao's family conditions are already so poor; after finally earning some money, can he not date, eat, and have some fun?"

"You only see Zhang Tao went out to have fun once, but you don't see how hard he usually works part-time to earn money!"

Gu Chen finished speaking.

The whole courtroom resonated.

Even the prosecutor felt a chill down his spine.

This case... is too exciting!

Two masterful lawyers clash head-on.

No need for the prosecutor to speak.

The prosecutor sat silently in the middle, watching the two battle in court.

The judge and the jurors were the same.

Gu Chen knew that at this point, debating whether Zhang Tao is a poor student with the opposing lawyer was meaningless.

Zhang Tao's status as a poor student won't change.

Nor will he cease to be a poor student just because he occasionally eats well or has a bit of fun.

Whether or not he is a poor student isn't decided by these things.

[6666666666!]

[Lawyer Gu is incredible!]

[Wow, this is the Lawless Madman!]

[Indeed, don't poor students have human rights?]

[Laughing, even a poor student having a meal is wrong? Not allowed to eat Haidilao?]

[When did the law stipulate that poor students can't buy flowers for their girlfriends, and gifting a bouquet means they're no longer poor students?]

Viewers in the livestream spoke one after another.

Meanwhile, Yin Xiaodong's expression was grim.

Gu Chen's words rendered him speechless.

Gu Chen, as a lawyer, has quite something.

But so what?

Can Gu Chen win this case?

Even if Zhang Tao really is a poor student, so what?

Yin Xiaodong stepped back and said, "The misunderstanding from the school's Youth League Committee's analysis of Zhang Tao's situation is understandable, given Zhang Tao's purchase of a pile of electronic devices, and lifestyle not resembling a poor student."

"If Zhang Tao truly is a poor student, the school can indeed restore Zhang Tao's financial aid eligibility, but the school's financial aid distribution has never had an issue!"

"Especially concerning incidents such as rich second-generation students taking the place of poor students to obtain financial aid, this has never happened!"

"Yangcheng University can apologize and restore Zhang Tao's financial aid eligibility, however —"

"Lawyer Gu Chen has slandered Yangcheng University! Slandered the university president, vice president, and several Youth League Committee teachers."

"Moreover, Lawyer Gu Chen repeatedly stated wealthy individuals replace poor students to receive financial aid, constituting rumors."

"Lawyer Gu Chen unilaterally spread rumors, causing great damage to the school's reputation, requesting the court to hold Gu Chen legally responsible!"

"Gu Chen's defamation and slander damage the school's reputation; filing frivolous lawsuits constitutes libel against others and the school!"

"And furthermore, Gu Chen, being a lawyer, knowingly violating the law, deserves aggravated punishment!"
