Chapter 167: We Audience Members Can Be Serious Too, You Know! (Seeking)

Zhou Xinran considered herself to have a bit of an understanding of Zhou Yi and Fang Dazhuang.

But every time she thought she had figured these two men out, they would pull some outrageous stunts that left her dumbfounded.

For instance, the last time they sued video pirates across the entire internet, or this sudden idea regarding courier companies!

When a normal person encounters such a thing, wouldn't they just think about how to complain about the courier, making them deliver it to the door while trembling in fear amidst a scolding?

Why on earth would the two of them think of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law, and think of using False Propaganda to deal with a courier company?

Moreover, these two people together are different from others.

When others talk big, it might just be empty talk, but for these two, they will actually put it into practice...

Just thinking about the massive logistics system in the entire Jingzhou City, how much money would it take to collect enough evidence to prove that a courier company in Jingzhou City completely fails to fulfill door-to-door delivery...

Zhou Xinran didn't even dare to think about it.

This would definitely cost more money than the previous lawsuit across the entire internet.

One provides the money, the other provides technical support, and then, they pull all sorts of outrageous stunts, just to vent their anger, and then film a video.

They say it's to educate those peers.

It cannot be denied that the hardcore level of such videos is extremely high, and the quality has reached an extreme that others cannot imitate even if they wanted to.

It's just... never mind, the joys of men are something she, Zhou Xinran, cannot imagine.

The two guys in front of her were already looking at each other and giggling "hehe"; just looking at the surface, you would even think they were two villains plotting something evil.

"Then it's decided, Fang Dazhuang, don't worry about the funds, be quick, there is strength in numbers!"

Don't worry about the matter being tedious, just have more people; as long as there is money, there are plenty of lawyers, and there are many legal assistants who cannot practice independently.

Zhou Yi raised his coffee and said: "Cheers!"

Fang Dazhuang also raised the coffee in his hand: "Cheers!"

Zhou Xinran also raised... right, I don't have coffee, this Zhou Yi actually only ordered two cups of coffee?

Seeing Zhou Xinran sitting there speechless, Zhou Yi hurriedly said: "Ah, sorry Lawyer Zhou, I was used to that before..."

"Boss, bring another cup of coffee, the usual!"

Once discussed and the coffee finished, Fang Dazhuang would prepare the contract after returning; only after signing the contract would Zhou Yi transfer the money according to the agreement.

This is something Fang Dazhuang has always emphasized: no matter how familiar we are with each other, when it comes to such issues, everything must be made clear.

Zhou Yi followed Fang Dazhuang back to the law firm; come to think of it, this was his first time coming to the law firm where Fang Dazhuang works.

And once he arrived here, Zhou Yi felt what it meant to have status!

Following behind Fang Dazhuang as they entered, everywhere they went, all the lawyers they met would really stop and politely call out "Teacher Fang."

Really, Zhou Mouren also started to feel envious, although in his Company, everyone would also call out "President Zhou" when they met him.

But, it just didn't feel as imposing as Fang Dazhuang!

"Old Wang, call some people to the meeting room next door in a moment, I have a case here!" Fang Dazhuang suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, okay, I'll call people right now."

Old Wang took out his phone and started notifying people in the group to come over.

Zhou Yi took a look, hey, an acquaintance, isn't this the lawyer Wang Tiancheng who was defending Liu Xu halfway through before being angered into leaving?

For the other party to be a friend of Fang Dazhuang, his level is actually quite decent, it's just that seeing Zhou Yi now was like seeing a ghost.

"Mr. Zhou? Old Fang, what are you two..."

"Oh, Zhou Yi entrusted me to handle a small case."

A small case?

Old Wang looked at his phone; you have so many people come over for a small case?

Or is the small case I understand different from the small case you understand?

However, he certainly wouldn't say anything in front of others; although Fang Dazhuang has a somewhat eccentric temper, when it comes to his level, he is the undisputed pillar of their law firm!

Soon, some lawyers and assistants who were free had arrived at the meeting room.

Fang Dazhuang saw that everyone had arrived, and then said: "Everyone has time recently, that's good, I have a case here that needs everyone's assistance."

"The specific situation of the case is like this..."

Fang Dazhuang began to explain the cause of action, and then, this group of lawyers in the meeting room began to feel confused.

Is this the kind of case that a big shot handles now?

It's not that the case is small, but, but it just feels very strange.

Even if you really proved that the courier company engaged in False Propaganda, so what? The losses they caused you, at the very most, wouldn't amount to much money.

Because there are still the provisions of the Postal Law.

But to collect evidence with such great fanfare, how much money would that cost, and how much manpower and material resources would that take?

Can such a case actually be entrusted by someone?

Is the other party an idiot?

Thoughts aside, they wouldn't oppose the matter itself; after all, it's about making money, what else is there to do.

Professional lawyers, or rather, experienced lawyers, are much better than ordinary people at collecting and securing evidence.

Sometimes many people clearly have evidence, but it is always refuted as worthless; that is because the evidence was not secured properly.

After enjoying this unique meeting, Zhou Yi signed the contract and then transferred the funds from his Virtual Account.

Now, all that's left is to wait with peace of mind.

And at this moment, at the Cainiao Station.

The station owner Yu Li was sitting at the counter making a phone call; he was chatting with a courier.

"It's fine, don't worry, what could happen? Does he really dare to go to the Postal Bureau to complain!"

"He's just talking tough to us, alright, go back to your work, it's nothing."

After hanging up the phone, the station owner continued playing with his phone; he had an agreement with the courier points in this area.

All packages from many courier companies' points must be delivered to him.

Actually, in a sense, the Cainiao Station is a monster that emerged, relying on the website itself.

Under normal circumstances, once a package arrives at a courier point, the couriers are responsible for completing the "last mile" delivery.

But with the Cainiao Station in place, all packages are defaulted to arrive here; this is determined by their internal system.

You could say that from the moment your package is shipped, its destination isn't your home, but the Cainiao Station.

The station owner has seen plenty of people complaining about the lack of door-to-door delivery; one by one, they act all high and mighty, saying they will file complaints and report them.

Let them go; anyway, even if they really report it to the end, there are ways to handle it—tell the other party you are very pitiful, or threaten not to deliver their packages in the future, and tell them not to answer calls from the Postal Bureau.

Or just hang up as soon as they answer.

Because if he answers a complaint call to the Postal Bureau, even if he says it has been resolved, the fine that should be paid won't be a cent less.

But if he refuses to answer the call, then it's easy to handle.

He thought this way, and at this moment, the regional Manager of Biantong Express didn't take the escalated complaint to heart either.

It's just a complaint; as long as it doesn't reach the Postal Bureau, it's all manageable.

And at the Company headquarters, the customer service girl responsible for Zhou Yi's order didn't care about this complaint at all.

The reason is also very simple: the number of complaints this courier company receives every day about not delivering to the door is truly countless.

After all, unlike the direct-operation systems like SF Express and JD. com, their courier stations below all sign contracts with the Company.

The couriers belong to the courier points.

If they really can't go on and say they quit, then they quit.

So this system is actually exploiting from top to bottom, desperately squeezing that little bit of delivery fee.

Now, it is actually clear internally that they basically won't deliver to the door, unless they encounter someone who is particularly troublesome.

So when encountering such complaints, of course, they drag it out as long as they can; if they really can't drag it out, they throw it to the courier point below to handle it themselves.

As for how to handle it themselves, the courier will soon know that you were the one who complained, and then they can come to your door to find you...

There have been news stories before like "Woman complains, gets beaten by courier at her door," and the result was the courier went to jail, the woman was injured, and the emotions of both sides were extremely antagonistic.

The courier Company boss still happily counts his money, while incidentally telling the outside world, "Oh my, our company lost money again..."

Then he pretends to step forward to respond, and it's over.

In fact, by now, many people should understand one thing: whether the Company loses money and whether the boss makes money must be viewed separately.

Back home, Zhou Yi started editing the video.

This video will, without surprise, be divided into two parts, upper and lower.

"Hello, my dear audience lords, I am your old friend A Yi. Today's video is to talk to you about a cliché issue, and one that will definitely spark a huge controversy in the comment section!"

"That is, the issue of courier door-to-door delivery."

"Let's not talk about the laws involved for now; let's first look at this incident I encountered."

"Because my waist isn't good, I bought an e-sports chair; it's a bit heavy, so it counts as a large item."

"Because the couriers here are all placed at the Cainiao Station, I specifically asked the courier to deliver it to my door and not leave it at the station, but instead, I was kicked around like a ball on both sides..."

Here, Zhou Yi started to release the Call Record between himself, the courier, and the Cainiao Station.

"One moment they said they would deliver it, the next they said they would charge a fee, then they said to be understanding. Naturally, I was indignant. After that station owner said, 'Go complain wherever you want,' I went straight to the official website."

"And then, the official website complaint still had no result; it was still dragging on, still kicking the ball, so I couldn't endure it!"

"Many people would choose to complain to the National Post Bureau at this time; of course, I would too, but I won't just choose to go to the Postal Bureau!"

"After consulting with Fang Dazhuang, I chose another aspect to pursue Legal Aid!"

Zhou Yi did not state the specific method in this video.

After all, this approach shouldn't alert others; it's better to be safe first.

Looking back and forth, those "non-standard shots" were all covered with a Mosaic according to the rules, and then he clicked upload.

In Guang City, Yuan Jie fell into boredom again; she was too lazy to even stream now.

"Eh, the Pigeon Spirit actually updated! The update frequency lately is pretty good!"

It was Yuan Jie who saw Zhou Yi's updated video, looking at the title: "Shocking! Courier doesn't deliver to the door, a certain young man actually... (Part 1)"

Yuan Jie twitched the corner of her mouth; what a lousy title, even the most rotten tropes were being played by you.

With curiosity, Yuan Jie clicked in to watch. As for couriers, she could say that courier companies are supported by spendthrift women like her...

Of course, Yuan Jie indicated that she was not old.

But as she watched, Yuan Jie felt something was not quite right, and subconsciously started commenting in the comment section.

"Is there really such a situation? Our large items here are all called in advance and delivered to the door; we've never had a situation of being kicked around like a ball."

Yuan Jie's reaction was also subconscious because she really hadn't encountered it. After the comment was sent, she felt it was wrong.

Because she and Zhou Yi are quite familiar now, although they haven't met.

But she knows the other party is a very serious person; his videos have always been known for high quality and could absolutely not be staged.

The result was that in the time it took to be stunned, a bunch of replies had already appeared below.

"Patting Yuan Jie, this is what you don't know; the world is vast and full of wonders, look at this..."

"Also patting Yuan Jie and kicking the person above away, Yuan Jie is mine. This kind of thing is actually not rare; after all, the online shopping crowd is so large, and in some places, the courier service is really poor."

"Yeah, I feel the same, but I only have one thought: the dog Up Master cut it off here, are you sure you won't get beaten?"

Yuan Jie felt a bit strange looking at these replies and clicked on the first link, which was also a news report.

It said a certain customer complained that the courier didn't deliver to the door and was beaten and injured by the courier at their door...

Ah, this... this already exceeded Yuan Jie's limit of understanding; there was actually such a thing!

Then this was truly her being ill-informed, but she wouldn't delete her comment; she just replied below that she had thought wrong.

And then you cut the video?

"This feels good; if you're going to be serious, you have to be serious to the end. The delivery person, the station, the delivery Company—not a single one can be let off!"

But wait, he only said he had a method, so what exactly is that method?

Damn it! Zhou Yi, if you cut the video like this, you're going to be beaten to death, you know that? You will definitely be beaten to death!

She can't take it anymore; Yuan Jie really can't take it anymore right now. It just so happens that, like beating a child on a rainy day, since she's free anyway, she takes out her phone and starts booking a flight to Jingzhou!

Many people have said before that they wanted to go find the Up Master to have a talk, but no one has actually done it. Yuan Jie is going to let him know now that we, the audience, can also be serious!

You don't believe I'll come find you to have a talk, right? Then just wait, I'll bring you some... rather special local specialties.

Over here, Zhou Mouren is completely unaware that danger is about to descend; he is merely sighing that, sure enough, after his video was posted, the controversy was indeed quite large.

Some audience members who have clearly worked in the delivery industry stated that the fault really doesn't lie with the delivery person, because it truly doesn't make money.

And if they don't complete their tasks, they get fined; of course, his attitude definitely had problems.

Then someone immediately retorted, if it doesn't make money, then don't do it.

Once this sentence was said, it was equivalent to casting a taunt, and then they started arguing in a mess.

Zhou Yi shakes his head; it seems that in the future, issues that easily trigger mass mockery shouldn't be touched, or even if they are, they should be solved quietly.

Otherwise, it will always give people the feeling that he is looking for trouble for no reason, relying on the System to act like a rascal...

But the fact that deliveries aren't brought to the door, and that delivery people can't earn money, these various problems objectively exist.

Then why does it make people feel like he is looking for trouble for no reason and acting like a rascal?

Zhou Yi thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

As a result, out of boredom, he saw his previous web history.

Oh right, understood; matters like this aren't really his to manage...

Throat-moistening chapter in the morning, because the Small Residential District was unsealed, work resumed. As a result, I didn't finish writing in the morning. I originally wanted to hurry up and finish it to post, but then I thought, everyone needs to eat, and reading novels while eating is bad for the stomach. So, considering this issue, I only finished writing and posted it after eating. Is there any other author who considers readers like this? I ask you, is there any?

Thanks to I Eat Watermelon, The One Who Is Good At Delivering, Fatty Wonton Brother, Book Friend 2022, Big Eater Empire, and Niareth Brother. Thank you, brothers, for the tips. Thank you.

For catching typos, the old rules apply: mark them, and I will find time to fix them.
