Chapter 113: The Child Has Been Beaten Like This, Just Let My Family Go

North-South Street runs East-West, at the crossroads a man bites a dog.

Picking up the dog to strike with a brick, instead, the brick bites the hand.

Zhou Yi decided to move back to the Small Residential District; although the Company is good, it is, after all, a place for office work, and downstairs is a bustling downtown, with heavy traffic.

The hardworking small vendors don't close their stalls until very late every day, and they have to get up early in the morning to make a living.

By comparison, living in the Small Residential District is more comfortable.

Although that Manager He Xiaoxuan has a bit of an arbitrary air, at the very least, she is willing to solve problems!

What is most feared now is not that the other party directly refuses; for example, when Zhou Yi first sought out Property Management because a neighbor was disturbing the peace and Property Management directly refused, Zhou Yi didn't say a word.

If they say directly that they can't manage this matter, that's no problem; being persistent isn't being obsessed, being persistent is just wanting to reason things out clearly with you.

Later, when he clashed with Property Management, it was because the other party was using double standards; if I'm easy to talk to, they urge me to be kind, but if Xu Yufeng makes a scene, they listen to her?

This doesn't make sense; no matter where you put this logic, it doesn't make sense!

What is feared is the other party muddling through, pushing from one side to the other, and in the end, you will find that you have worked hard for a long time, invested a lot of time costs, and yet it seems the matter hasn't been solved at all...

Since Manager He is willing to solve the problem, and there is nothing else to do, Zhou Yi is going to move back.

Mainly, there is also that General Manager Quan; these past few days, that look in his eyes has felt wrong... there must be a conspiracy!

He called the Company's Employees to help move things to the car; there wasn't much, just some clothes and daily necessities, and he couldn't carry it all down by himself in one trip.

It was absolutely not help for free; he gave everyone red envelopes.

He, Zhou Yi, originally clashed with Director Wang precisely because the Company made him work overtime without paying overtime pay; now that he is a boss himself, he must absolutely not develop this kind of "the Employees are all supported by me" mentality.

After all, cases of dragon-slaying heroes eventually turning into evil dragons are everywhere...

As a result, just as he was ready and went back to the office to grab something he had missed, he saw General Manager Quan walking in hurriedly.

"General Manager Zhou, you are moving back? This, General Manager Zhou, I know things were handled a bit slowly, but please wait a moment, the person has already arrived, please meet them first."

What the hell? Zhou Yi, who had just picked up his bag, was stunned; what do you mean things were handled slowly, and the person has already arrived, did I say anything?

As a result, he saw a girl walk in from outside wearing a black professional suit, with first-class figure and temperament.

"General Manager Zhou, let me introduce you, Weiwei; her academic qualifications aren't very good, but her work experience is very rich. Your main business is filming videos, right? She previously worked as an assistant for a female internet celebrity and has a lot of experience in this area..."

Weiwei...

Hmm... huh?

What the hell, why does this girl look so familiar? Isn't this that assistant of Ling Jie who got locked up?

Zhou Yi turned his head to look at General Manager Quan; I don't even know what I said to you now, but you brought this person here, are you sure you don't want me to get locked up too?

General Manager Quan looked at Zhou Yi with a bewildered expression; could it be that he found the wrong person?

But the other party's experience is really very rich!

While Zhou Yi was stunned, Wang Weiwei on the opposite side finally saw clearly; isn't this General Manager Zhou, who is said to be an Up Master, the one from before...

"General Manager Quan, in the future, work hard and don't spend all day messing around with these things; I don't need any female Secretary, you know? I really don't need one."

"And I don't need any assistant... I don't need a male Secretary either; I don't need any of them, understand?"

Perhaps this General Manager misunderstood his meaning last time, so Zhou Yi intended to be clear enough this time.

However... is this the feeling of being a superior? Damn it, this feeling... is actually quite nice.

Seeing that General Manager Zhou left directly after finishing his words, Quan Longtian was in a bit of a dilemma.

Since she's already here, the Company is still missing a few administrative staff, and the front desk also needs a face... then let it be!

Zhou Yi drove back to the Small Residential District, preparing to turn the matter of the unruly child into a video.

As for the material, it's actually fine; there is enough audio recording material.

Especially that Lawyer Wang on the other side; he just went to mediate, and as a result, he was backstabbed by his own client.

Actually, after it was over, Lawyer Fang was a bit depressed; he hadn't even exerted himself yet, and the other party had already collapsed, which made Lawyer Fang feel very unsatisfied; is there not a single opponent worth fighting?

Another practical problem: his camera was broken last time and hadn't been touched since; he bought a new one directly, causing his assets to shrink significantly again...

If the Company hadn't paid all the compensation it should have last time, he might have faced a financial crisis!

Pitiful, others with a system are throwing money around for luxury houses and famous cars, while he still has to live frugally; otherwise, without the system's support, he wouldn't even be able to afford Lawyer Fang's Lawyer Fee.

Now, he is just waiting for that compensation money... right, and the reward from the Tax Department; speaking of which, can he go and urge them...

Zhou Yi began waiting for the court session, while on the other side, Qiu Xiaoshuai's home was in chaos again.

Qiu Xiaoshuai now knows that a lawyer practicing in the name of two Law Firms at the same time does not mean this lawyer is great; on the contrary, the other party belongs to illegal practice...

And what is certain is that the other party will definitely report it to the Judicial Bureau for investigation, but before that, the other party is still his lawyer.

After knowing this terrible result, Qiu Xiaoshuai was dumbfounded.

Especially since he thought that he couldn't even stop the other party from litigating the case, because there was a contract, and because the other party had no breach of contract or illegal behavior in his case.

It's just...

What to do? It seems that no matter how the Lawsuit goes, he has to pay money, at least he has to pay a portion.

But Qiu Xiaoshuai felt like he was dreaming; everything was fine, and suddenly he had to pay someone else tens of thousands...

Looking at the child, Qiu Xiaoshuai suddenly thought of a scene in a short video.

The day of the court session is always so auspicious, at least in Zhou Yi's view.

It is always good to be able to get back his own losses.

Perhaps the other party did indeed file a recusal application, and the presiding judge appearing on it was not that Judge Li he knew, but another... judge he knew.

There's no way around it; ever since he got the system, he has seen many judges in Civil Division No. 2, whether it was for Mediation or Lawsuits.

Most importantly, because Zhou Yi's situation is special, many judges already know there is such a character!

It was still the procedure Zhou Yi was already very familiar with: reading the Indictment, the response to the Lawsuit, and the presentation and Cross-examination of evidence.

Only this time, Lawyer Wang, who originally had no expression, was already a bit off.

"Fang Xujing, the other party is actually Fang Xujing!"

No wonder he looked a bit familiar during the Mediation last time; he had seen him before, and had heard of the other party's great reputation in the industry.

This great Lawyer who switched from Criminal Case to civil law, that is the truly great Lawyer!

In fact, a Lawyer who has truly reached the top of the industry possesses more than just legal knowledge; their connections, and all other aspects, are top-tier.

But even if this Lawsuit were pushed to the limit, it would only pay out a few tens of thousands, right? Would a big shot like Fang Dazhuang be interested in such a case?

Also, why does his gaze keep staring at him...

Lawyer Wang feels inexplicable right now; his own Defendant seems to have a grudge against him, blurting everything out at every turn, and what he says actually turns out to be correct...

As a result, once in Court, the big-shot Lawyer on the other side also looks like he wants to eat him alive.

What is wrong with this world? I just want to do my job well and then become famous by winning a classic Lawsuit; why is there so much hatred for no reason?

Zhou Yi, however, does not know the opposing Lawyer's thoughts; if he knew, he would definitely lose his composure again.

He feels a bit like yawning right now; this stage of the proceedings is really not that interesting, and many people even fall asleep watching trial videos.

They would find the evidence presentation and Cross-examination and such to be somewhat inexplicable.

For example, Fang Dazhuang presented the on-site Monitoring video, in which one can clearly see that it was the child who yanked the camera down.

But Lawyer Wang is still saying that there is no objection to the authenticity, but there is an objection to the probative force; this video can only prove that the child had a yanking action, and it does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the camera falling; the camera falling could also be because it was not placed securely.

It feels like nonsense; it was clearly yanked down by him...

Don't just feel; in Court, when facing ironclad evidence, you must find reasons to refute it.

It is clearly written on the IOU, and there are signatures and fingerprints, etc., as well as transfer records; to a layman, the evidence is sufficient to be irrefutable, but if you hire a Lawyer for a Lawsuit, can they not provide you with a refutation?

Then there is the Court Debate.

Here, the opposing Lawyer Wang argued that because Zhou Yi did not put a cap on the camera lens, and the camera shoulder strap was hanging down, it was very easy for someone to accidentally pull it down in such a situation.

Therefore, he himself should also bear a certain amount of responsibility for the result of the lens being broken.

To tell the truth, even though he was in Court, Zhou Yi could hardly hold back after hearing this.

My camera was sitting perfectly fine on the table, and it was in a very inward position; this thing has quite a bit of weight, and I, damn it, could have imagined someone would just give it a yank like that?

This is actually what is often referred to in law as the actor should have foreseen the occurrence of such and such an event.

For example, in the simplest case of intentional injury, if you slash over with a knife, you should foresee that the other person will be injured by this slash; this is obvious.

It is not a case of you saying you couldn't imagine it, so you couldn't imagine it.

But Zhou Yi's situation here is different; Fang Dazhuang has already started his maneuvers.

First of all, whether or not the cap was on has no effect on the result; the lens is very fragile, not to mention that height, and after the child yanked it, he was about to run, which involved a downward swinging motion.

Even if the cap had been on, it would still have been damaged.

Then, as an ordinary person, Zhou Yi had already taken sufficient measures to protect his camera, including placing it deep on the table, and the fact that the shoulder strap was actually only exposed a little bit.

Therefore, the action of the child coming over to yank it was actually an accident, and an accident is an accident because it is a situation that the actor could not foresee.

Fang Dazhuang spoke eloquently; he was indeed very well prepared, and had made preparations for all possible problems that might arise.

Under such circumstances, all Lawyer Wang could do was defend as best he could.

Backstabbing is backstabbing, but what needs to be done must still be done; this is a manifestation of professional ethics.

It is just that Lawyer Wang finds it a bit strange; that he practiced in violation of regulations is his own fault, but when the opposing Lawyer Fang was debating, there seemed to be mockery in his eyes...

Although I am not as famous as you, and not as capable as you, you cannot be so overbearing!

Qiu Xiaoshuai sat in the Defendant's seat and remained quite calm, but he just felt that this Lawsuit was fought as if it hadn't been fought at all.

Even if he were a Legal Blind, he could see that the opposing Lawyer was very strong in terms of momentum!

And now, it has reached the Final Statement stage.

Qiu Xiaoshuai has already started speaking, saying that it was he who did not look after the child well, so the other party's camera was broken, but he has difficulties in his life and truly cannot afford such a compensation fee.

So he can only beg...

After both sides finished their Final Statement and the Court adjourned, the verdict was soon released.

The lens was over fifty thousand, and although the camera was only over twenty thousand, the repair cost one thousand; this was the result after appraisal.

Therefore, the Court ruled to add the repair compensation on top of the lens compensation.

Yes, if someone else does not intentionally break your things, then if you file a Lawsuit, the compensation you get will be the money used for repairs.

It will not be the money to buy you this item, unless it is broken beyond repair.

As for things like Depreciation Fee, that requires specific analysis of specific problems.

If two cars have an accident, should a Depreciation Fee be paid? Insurance does not cover this part.

All that can be done is negotiation; as for filing a Lawsuit... it can only be said that the case is not easy to fight.

So Zhou Yi did not say anything else; he accepted it.

What he found a bit strange was that the other side did not choose to Appeal, so are they planning to pay?

Better to go home first; anyway, if they don't execute it when the time comes, he will apply for Compulsory Execution.

In a situation where one has a home and a business, if one wants to resist Compulsory Execution, especially this kind of compensation-related Compulsory Execution, one must know a little law; that is how textbook-style deadbeats are made.

Walking out of the Court, Zhou Yi and Fang Dazhuang were chatting casually, preparing to go get the car, but they were stopped before they had gone far.

And the one stopping him was none other than Qiu Xiaoshuai's wife, Li Zhitao, who seemed to think she was in the right every time she opened her mouth, and at this moment, Li Zhitao was also carrying the child who had yanked his camera that day.

"Eh, Mr. Zhou, wait a moment; I am begging you to let my family off now. My family really cannot afford that much money. By the way, look, my child has already been beaten like this. If you are still not satisfied, you can teach him a lesson again. Really, Mr. Zhou, we know we were wrong..."

A mother bringing a child to stop someone and beg for mercy, this is very sensational, especially since the other party is a young and strong man.

Immediately, some people at the entrance of the Court gathered around to watch.

Only, upon looking, they felt that the young man looked a bit familiar; eh, isn't this the young man who was blocked at the Court entrance and scolded once before...

What a coincidence, is he being blocked again?

Su Dama had already taken peanuts out of her pocket; there was no help for it, melon seed shells are hard to deal with, and these peanuts were already shelled.

She had seen too many things like this here; those who start begging as soon as they leave the Court, those who start begging before they even leave the Court, those who use moral kidnapping, those who pretend to be crazy and stupid, those who act pitiful, and so on.

It is just unclear what it is this time.

The update is late; I didn't expect that I would accidentally pass twelve o'clock.
