The Grassroots Lawyer's Counterattack

share time: 2026-01-09 06:00:22

Lin Xiaoman, a rural girl, worked as a "tea-making assistant" at a high-end law firm for three years, too timid to mention her bar exam. When the firm refused a migrant workers' wage claim case against a 10-billion-dollar real estate company (no one dared to offend them), Xiaoman secretly took it on—only to be called "overconfident" by her boss and mocked as "crazy for fame" by colleagues. She squatted at construction sites to find witnesses, rummaged through old contracts, and even got threatened: "Stop or you'll be blacklisted." The day before trial, a fired accountant slipped her key evidence—a fake wage record from the company. In court, the room fell silent when she presented it. The workers won, and Xiaoman became the firm's youngest partner—transforming from a "gofer" to a "justice lawyer."
