Du Jingguang said, "Heh, I'll go to the scene in person. As soon as Gu Chen loses the case, launch an online smear campaign to completely tarnish his reputation."
"I just can't stand Gu Chen's 100% win rate in lawsuits. He uses that reputation to fool people, attracting them to his firm. What's so great about his firm? It's just a new startup; can it really compete with our Red Circle Law Firm? Yet people nowadays don't know what a top-notch firm is, and they're all going to Gu Chen's firm. But his firm isn't any good."
Du Jingguang didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to discredit Gu Chen's firm and suppress Gu Chen.
This is how it is nowadays, no matter the industry, if you become successful, you will be targeted and suppressed.
And there is still competition between law firms.
They can't directly smear Gu Chen or manipulate the narrative, because that would be suicidal.
