"I don't know what happened next. You have to ask Zhang Tao."

"Zhang Tao has been trying to protect his rights. He wants to know what exactly happened and why it's so unfair."

"Student aid for the poor is supposed to be for impoverished students. Why can a rich kid get aid, and one who drives a Porsche no less? I don't understand."

"Lawyer Gu, that's basically the situation."

After Su Muchou finished speaking, the viewers in the livestream exploded.

Many viewers are college students and can really empathize with this.

The state-provided aid is meant to help impoverished students.

If a rich kid takes the aid, the money just goes to waste on them, while the truly needy students end up with nothing.

And there's a quota for the aid.

If a rich kid takes a spot, then there's one less spot for an impoverished student.

Rich kids aren't short of money, yet they come to grab aid meant for the needy. This is extremely despicable.

State-provided aid doesn't reach the students who genuinely need the money.

"Damn, I'm a university student. Our university is quite good. The school puts money directly into meal cards for impoverished students. The money always goes to the students who truly need it."

"It's really tragic. I saw the videos Zhang Tao posted; his family is so poor... Not mentioning his family, even his parents passed away and left him nothing. They are from a poor region and extremely poor, and he's an orphan, raised by his grandfather since childhood. Now, his grandfather is old, and Zhang Tao has to take care of him. He relies on part-time work to earn money, and now the student aid gets snatched by a rich kid. Who can stand this?"

"No way, driving a Porsche and still grabbing aid meant for impoverished students? Isn't that disgusting?"

"It's really tragic. The school doesn't let Zhang Tao speak out, even offering him a third-class scholarship as hush money? But Zhang Tao just won't agree, he still wants to help other impoverished students..."

"What does this mean? Isn't the student aid supposed to be for impoverished students? Why did it go to a rich kid?"

"How come? Is there anyone who's been to college that knows?"

"Oh, when they evaluate the aid, it's like this. These situations happen a lot. The student council abuses power, or maybe the school itself has issues... Don't know exactly how it's decided, but it's definitely not reasonable, or maybe students voted for it themselves."

"These beasts, I heard many impoverished students at this school can't get aid, either missing materials or not meeting some requirements; either way, they just don't qualify..."

"Why is the school trying to silence? In the end, they only offer a third-class scholarship?"

"What happens next? Did Zhang Tao get threatened by the school? What happened?"

"Damn, they banned Zhang Tao on Douyin and Weibo, directly silencing him. It's really disgusting!"

The viewers were sending barrage comments.

Many viewers were already furious.

Is this even humane?

Impoverished students can't get the money, but the rich get richer...

Is this fair to impoverished students?

The country's student aid is for helping impoverished students!

How can a rich kid take a quota?

One by one, viewers sent barrage comments, and some urged Gu Chen to take action.

"Lawyer Gu, do something!"

"It has to be Lawyer Gu! Lawyer Gu, take action and put these people away."

"They're really scum. There must be something fishy here!"

"Lawyer Gu, go investigate!!"

"It needs Lawyer Gu's intervention. Damn, I really can't stand this."

Gu Chen wasn't in a rush to take on the case.

He hadn't met the person involved or understood the details. Taking on the case would be too rash.

At the very least, he needed to know what exactly happened.

And the truth of the matter!

These are just one-sided statements...

In today's internet sphere, it's common for narratives to flip.

As a lawyer, Gu Chen couldn't be swayed by public opinion.

Gu Chen said, "I'm a lawyer. If this situation truly exists where aid for impoverished students is taken by rich kids, I will definitely take legal action."

"After all, there are countless impoverished college students nationwide, and the number of rich kids is relatively small."

"If the money doesn't reach the hands of impoverished students, then the student aid loses its intended purpose."

"Under qualifying conditions, impoverished students should be able to apply for aid. The original intention of establishing student aid is to assist such students and not let countless impoverished students lose hope."

"However, with the limited information I have about this case, taking on the lawsuit now would be rash. So, I need to understand the situation firsthand before deciding."

After all, a lawsuit isn't child's play.

A lawsuit requires evidence and facts.

If there's nothing substantial, the case may be hard to win.

Viewers were actively sending barrage comments.

"Support Lawyer Gu!"

"Does Zhang Tao need help with legal fees? If so, let's start a donation!"

"I'm willing to donate too!"

"Lawyer Gu's fees are high, but it's okay..."

"Support Lawyer Gu in this lawsuit. Zhang Tao might just be a representative case for countless students who don't receive aid annually, and many of their quotas are taken by the rich kids. I fully support this!"

"Support Lawyer Gu in helping all impoverished college students by taking this case!"

"I support it too!!"

Viewers spontaneously sent barrage comments.

Many viewers started sending gifts to Gu Chen.

All at once, the livestream was flooded with gifts.

Some even rewarded Gu Chen on Douyin Number One...

And some even sent a carnival gift to Gu Chen.

Su Muchou also sent Gu Chen a sports car gift, which on Douyin is worth about 200.

Gu Chen said, "Su Muchou, give me Zhang Tao's contact information. I want to reach out and understand the case better."

Su Muchou: "Alright, thank you, Lawyer Gu."

Gu Chen didn't end the stream. Once he got Zhang Tao's contact, he started gathering information.

Gu Chen asked Xue Qingqing to coordinate with Zhang Tao to understand the specific situation.

If everything checks out, then a lawsuit can be filed!

Viewers were also trying to learn more about the case.

The more they understood, the more things seemed off.

Many viewers continued to send barrage comments.

"Damn, this school really has issues. I saw another student post saying he was very poor and his aid got snatched... but the post got locked immediately."

"Oh crap, I went to the school's forum. Any mention of 'Zhang Tao' gets immediately deleted. They won't let anyone discuss this."

"Even discussing aid is forbidden. Everything gets deleted."

"Damn, they don't allow comments under the official account either. It's so disgusting."
