Chapter 101: It's All For This Mouthful of Vinegar! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

No matter how they think about it, it doesn't make sense; whether it's Director Wang or Zhao Youde, they both feel this is simply impossible!

Opening a company involves every aspect; it's not just that if you have money, you will definitely make money by opening a company.

Are there few rich second-generation heirs who opened companies and ended up squandering their family fortunes?

Many people have actually seen those rich second-generation heirs who eat and drink everything and are surrounded by beauties; even if they eat and drink to their heart's content, how much money can they spend?

As for beauties, let alone that; someone once calculated that, according to a certain standard, even if those rich second-generation heirs spent until they suffered kidney failure, they still couldn't finish spending their money.

Because as time goes on, their money keeps rising.

To paraphrase the words of a certain famous wealthy man named Wang from Xihong City, his money just keeps increasing the more he spends it, increasing more and more...

But starting a business? That is a bottomless pit; you could throw in mountains of gold and silver, and it's very likely not even a splash would be heard...

And as for Zhou Yi, he only drives an Audi; how much money could he have to be opening a company and poaching people?

The key point is that it really shouldn't be like this...

But no matter how unreasonable it seems, things are already like this now; at the very least, the problem must be solved first!

Zhao Youde picked up his phone and started making calls; with his status, it wasn't difficult to find out the person in control of that new company, so Zhao Youde soon knew the situation.

"You're saying that the chairman of that Tengda Company is really the one currently in a lawsuit with us?"

"This... alright, I understand."

Putting down the phone, Zhao Youde sighed and said: "I've asked clearly, it is indeed that Zhou Yi."

Director Wang was left stunned there, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Youde paced back and forth a few times, then suddenly said: "Is this person brainless!"

Among the employees who resigned previously, it's not like there weren't companies that did things more excessively than this, but why is it that when it comes to him, it's arbitration and then a lawsuit? They even told him to settle, but he still didn't agree.

Now he has actually opened a company himself and is poaching people from his original company!

After a pause, Zhao Youde pointed at Director Wang and said: "You, you go; I don't care how you do it, in short, get it settled for me. Also, ask him what exactly he wants!"

"But brother-in-law... he, Zhou Yi has a prejudice against me... oh, I'll go contact him right away."

Don't even mention it; if he had known it was this situation, Director Wang would never have let Zhou Yi write that plan during off-hours back then...

Unfortunately, the word "regret" is, in itself, meant to make you regret.

There are no "ifs" in this world; if you were wrong, you were wrong. You can only choose to correct it, not start over.

After collectively submitting their resignation letters, everyone still has to do the work they are supposed to do.

You give one month's notice, but you cannot leave during this month; this is a society ruled by law, and everything must be done in accordance with the law.

It's just that beneath the calm are surging undercurrents; at least people like Han are already quietly contacting clients.

And Zhou Yi has already arrived at his own Tengda Company, located on Xinke Road in Guangming District.

It is about a twenty-minute drive from the Yuefu Residential Quarter where he lives.

He still remembers that before he graduated the year before last, he loved reading novels on Qidian; in one novel he read back then, the protagonist's company was called Tengda, and he didn't expect that his own company would be called Tengda now.

It's just that although President Pei is always being backstabbed, at least he can still make some money; as for his own company, he can't take a single cent of the money earned—it's purely a decoration, at least for now.

If it weren't for the fact that the system is incredibly powerful, he would have suspected that this company was meant for him to use for money laundering...

The company's Manager, Quan Longtian, has already looked at this new boss's expression more than once; the other party seems to be walking around looking at the company's operations, but anyone can see that the other party has long since been distracted.

"Um... President Zhou, now that you've finished looking, do you have any suggestions?" Quan Longtian asked cautiously.

The company's operations were poor and it was about to go bankrupt, but some time ago someone acquired the company with only one task: change the name to Tengda.

Then there was no movement; although there is no shortage of money now, Quan Longtian is also worried that he will be fired.

Counting it up, this is the first time he has seen this President Zhou.

As it turns out, the other party just kept taking pictures with a camera and said very little.

"Ah..." Zhou Yi reacted: "There are no suggestions; anyway, there aren't many employees in the company now. After the batch of people I asked you to poach arrives next month, it can get on the right track."

"Oh right, if there is still a shortage of staff after that batch of people joins, you go ahead and recruit some first."

This company does the same work as the previous company, so after his former colleagues arrive, they can get to work; as for clients and such, they will have to be scouted out by themselves.

Anyway, just keep working for now; originally, he just wanted to teach the leaders of the previous company a lesson.

Quan Longtian nodded in agreement; he had never seen such a boss who delegated power like this...

"By the way, President Zhou, do you need me to recruit a Secretary for you?"

A Secretary... Zhou Yi subconsciously thought of some inexplicable things, but he usually likes to stay at home, and it seems he doesn't need any Secretary...

"Not for now, let's talk about it later."

Manager Quan nodded, indicating that he had understood.

Zhou Yi left the company, thinking to himself that the environment of the board office upstairs was truly quite good.

The location of this company is good; that large floor-to-ceiling window, that large sofa that could almost be used as a bed—is it tacky? Very tacky, but does he like it? He likes it...

He used to hear those married people say that after getting married, they always wanted a place to hide; he was originally worried that since he is a freelancer, after getting married he would be at home every day, and he wouldn't even have a place to go.

Now it's fine; if there's nowhere to go, he can just come to the company...

What? I don't even have a girlfriend yet? That's not important.

Driving back to the residential district, this time it was fine, he wasn't blocked; but just as he arrived home and was preparing to find and edit the videos he had filmed for the labor arbitration, his phone rang.

"Hello, Lawyer Fang, don't ask me what a Lawless Fanatic Zhang San is, I don't know either..."

Lawyer Fang on the other end of the phone said helplessly: "I'm not talking to you about that; I want to say that their legal department called me, telling me that the company wants to settle with you and wants to talk to you. What do you think?"

"This time it seems different; they said they fully accept your conditions, and they accept paying the money and everything. Do you agree?"

"I do feel it's a bit strange... just a few days ago they didn't accept anything at all."

"Accept my conditions? Then agree to the mediation; anyway, we filed the lawsuit for this reason." Zhou Yi said directly: "As for the reason, actually, you know."

I know? How would I know?

Lawyer Fang started to think carefully; his memory is very good, and after all, he is a lawyer, so his reasoning ability is first-class.

Zhou Yi had asked him twice how to legally educate his former Company.

Then the second time was asked yesterday, and today, just like that...

"Wait, Zhou Yi, did you really have all those Employees in your company find new jobs? That's impossible, right? There were so many people, they all found jobs so quickly?"

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "Actually, it's nothing. I just remembered I happened to buy a company, and since it's all the same anyway, I just hired them all in."

Fang Dazhuang: "..."

Even a person like him had the urge to hit someone upon hearing this. Listen to these words—"actually it's nothing," "happened to buy a company"...

Is buying a company something you just say happened by chance?

"Fine, although I really want to hit you, I have to say that doing this is very satisfying. Once upon a time, I also fantasized about a scene like this..." Fang Dazhuang said with emotion.

Who didn't have a sense of justice in their heart at the very beginning? It was just that later, because of life, one's head slowly started going bald.

But, Fang Dazhuang discovered that ever since he met Zhou Yi and helped him with these Lawsuits, he inexplicably felt like he had become a bit younger.

Should one say that men are youths until they die?

"No, this should be called the power of uniting together!"

After hanging up the phone, Fang Dazhuang walked to the office window and looked at the reinforced concrete city outside, a smile spreading across his face.

And behind him, Zhou Xinran looked confused. Weren't they talking about the case? Why did he suddenly act like this for no reason?

Or could it be that Lawyer Fang doing this must have some deep meaning?

However, just as Zhou Xinran was racking her brains and couldn't figure it out, she saw Fang Dazhuang turn around, his face full of joy: "Xinran, I found that I suddenly understood the meaning of that Lawless Madman Zhang San!"

Um... um?

So you spent all that time in front of the window just thinking about this?

But looking at Fang Dazhuang's smile, Zhou Xinran suddenly felt, had she been wound too tight during this period...

The matter of Mediation was not urgent; in any case, the one who should be anxious was Director Wang.

Zhou Yi felt that the audience was more important.

In the past, his videos were always split into parts one and two, and now with the Property Management, he was prepared to make it a series. He thought about it and realized he had never really let the audience have a good time.

Since that's the case, let everyone have a good time with the Company matter all at once!

Video title: Fired without severance pay? Counter-attack by starting a company and poaching people!

It was fortunate that he had the habit of saving footage after becoming an Up Master. Everything he filmed at the company before was categorized and saved; now he just needed to take it out and edit it.

"Hello everyone, my dear audience, I am your old friend A Yi. In view of the fact that people always say I am short and weak, today I will make a complete video for everyone!"

"The cause of the matter is like this: I used to have a job, but because of the company's overtime issue, I was fired by the company. They told me directly not to come anymore."

"Of course I wouldn't accept that, so I just happened to find a Lawyer for consultation. Yes, that's right, it was Fang Dazhuang. It's a pity I didn't record a video at that time. Fang Dazhuang's first cup of vinegar-added coffee can be considered the place where my dream began."

Then there were those brainwashing words from Director Wang, about how young people should endure more hardship and so on. To be reasonable, even though he already knew Director Wang was going to apologize to him, he was still really angry seeing those words!

Young people should endure more hardship, young people should work more overtime, young people should work harder, young people should hurry up and get married and have children...

Oh right, the last sentence was what his mother said when she called yesterday.

She asked him if he didn't plan to get married, if he wanted to be a bachelor!

Zhou Yi thought to himself at the time, how old am I? At the age of twenty-four or twenty-five, and I'm already a bachelor?

What would those people who are still single at twenty-seven, twenty-eight, or twenty-nine think!

It's just a pity that even though he had a cheat code, he was helpless in the face of these words from Mother Zhou and could only keep agreeing.

Mother Zhou had already said that he must bring a girl home this year, otherwise, he would go on blind dates!

So Zhou Yi's idea was the same as many young people: drag it out one year at a time...

Next was Zhou Yi's rebuttal. That rebuttal was truly hearty and incisive!

While editing the video, he provided voice-over explanations, covering the Labor Arbitration, the Lawsuit following the Labor Arbitration, and up to the Second Instance that hadn't gone to trial yet.

As well as the Lawsuit for damages filed by the company.

The long Litigation showed that all kinds of cumbersome procedures indicated that this matter was difficult.

So Zhou Yi changed his tone and said: "Therefore, in order to let the leaders of the company receive an education, I bought a company and then had my colleagues resign collectively!"

Ma Yao's video had already been sent over; for a first-time shoot, the quality was quite good.

At the very least, Zhou Yi almost laughed until he couldn't breathe when he saw Director Wang being confronted by those few young people.

Zhou Yi was a good boy at the time, so whatever Director Wang said, he accepted.

But these young people were not; if they found Director Wang unpleasant, they would resign!

Then, added with the introduction to his own Tengda Company, although it had a bit of a show-off color, it seemed his video style had always been showing off.

For example, the counter-attack of topping up one million...

Everything was settled, just waiting for tomorrow's Mediation video.

But soon Zhou Yi discovered that the water pressure in his home seemed to have suddenly become very low...

He called the Property Management to ask, and they said the whole building was like that, and it would probably be fine tomorrow.

Regardless of that, he moved directly. There was a bedroom in the company's own office, and he could edit videos by bringing his laptop over.

Calculating the time, the Court should be delivering the Copy of the Complaint and the Summons to the Property Management by now.

Time quickly arrived at the morning of the next day, and Zhou Yi left the company and headed to the coffee shop.

Perhaps it was a special fate, but this coffee shop named "Lao Difang" had already become the old place where Zhou Yi and Fang Dazhuang met.

It was just that now there was an extra Zhou Xinran.

But Zhou Xinran's gaze at Zhou Yi was extremely strange. Although after knowing about Xu Yufeng and Na Ling, she also understood that this man was a bit... special.

But she didn't expect it to be like this...

"Hey, President Zhou, hello, hello. There was a traffic jam on the road, I'm late."

From far away, Director Wang reached out his hand there.

In the past, they would open their mouths and call me 'Little Zhou', saying young people need to strive more, but now I have become President Zhou.

"Director Wang, since we are here for Mediation, let's speak directly. Do you intend to accept my conditions: compensate me with severance pay, double wages, and withdraw the lawsuit?"

Director Wang nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course, of course, President Zhou. We came here today just to talk with you, to talk about that Company of yours."

"Tell me, what would it take for you to be willing to settle..."

"What do you mean 'what would it take'?" Zhou Yi looked confused. "We've been in this lawsuit for so long, don't you know my demands? Severance pay and double wages, plus withdrawing the lawsuit. Why are you still asking me?"

Huh? Director Wang was stunned upon hearing this.

You caused such a huge commotion just to get us to agree to your demands?

Making up for missed updates, it is now twelve chapters. Everyone, after twelve o'clock tonight is double monthly tickets, you see this... hehehe.
