Chapter 195: Look at This Grandeur!

"What? You say you want to go too?"

Fang Dazhuang was completely bewildered: "I am going to work, I am going to give a lecture, not going on a trip. Why are you all scrambling to follow me?"

Zhou Yi was one thing, after all, he was a close friend, and after spending so much time together, Fang Dazhuang had been constantly instilling some legal knowledge into Zhou Yi.

But then again, knowing some legal knowledge and being a professional Lawyer are two completely different concepts.

There is a saying that goes well: advising people to study medicine leads to being struck by lightning, and advising people to study law leads to being sliced into a thousand pieces. Law is the kind of thing that you only understand once you study it yourself.

Four years of undergraduate study, and for a Lawyer with even a little bit of ambition, a master's degree is a must.

Plus that pile of books for the Judicial Examination, just looking at them makes one's scalp tingle.

After graduating, one still has to intern, accumulate rich experience, and secure a source of cases; only then can one be considered a qualified Lawyer.

So, expecting Zhou Yi to become professional just by listening to the knowledge Fang Dazhuang usually shares is impossible.

If it were really that simple, then law students wouldn't be complaining so bitterly.

So it was fine for Fang Dazhuang to take Zhou Yi along, but Zhou Xinran was a bit off.

"Teacher Fang, since you are going to give a lecture, then as your assistant, I should definitely follow, right? Besides, when you gave a lecture at our school, I listened too."

"It just so happens that this time you're going to Modu, I can listen to your lecture again..."

"It's not that, Xinran. This matter, it's not that I don't want to take you, but it's really inconvenient..." Fang Dazhuang hesitated.

It's inconvenient to take me...

Zhou Cainiao's eyes widened instantly. Teacher Fang, do you have some kind of relationship with Mr. Zhou?

"Well, let me ask Zhou Yi first."

Fang Dazhuang quickly dialed Zhou Yi's phone.

Whether to take me or not still requires asking Zhou Yi...

At the Company, Zhou Mouren put down the phone. Regarding the matter of Zhou Xinran wanting to follow Fang Dazhuang to Modu, he personally had no objections.

When they went to various places to collect evidence before, the three of them were always together, so it really didn't matter.

Besides, Zhou Cainiao is a beauty after all; taking her on the road, if nothing else, is at least easy on the eyes.

It's just that Fang Dazhuang seems a bit unwilling. Whatever, Rookie Zhou is his assistant, not mine.

Oh right, I don't even have a female assistant... then it's fine.

Having stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window Pretending to be Cool for a while, a knock on the door sounded. Zhou Yi said casually: "Please come in!"

The door pushed open, and HR Director He Ling walked in, a smile on her face as she said: "Hello, President Zhou, you arrived quite early today."

After saying it, He Ling felt something was wrong. If she said this to other bosses, it would definitely be fine, but this boss of ours doesn't come to the Company daily.

Even when he comes to the Company, he doesn't come early. This felt a bit like mocking him.

However, Zhou Mouren didn't care at all, only saying: "Director He, is there something you need to see me about?"

Hearing this, He Ling said seriously: "President Zhou, it's actually still about the Liu Fangfang matter."

Ah? Zhou Yi was a bit strange now and said: "Liu Fangfang? What else is there about her? Isn't that Internet Violence already stopped?"

It had indeed stopped. It is said that Jingzhou's actions this time were praised by those above. Not to mention the Liu Fangfang matter, even the online bickering has been less in the last few days.

Because many people suddenly discovered that if the other party is a rich tycoon, they can indeed follow the internet cable to file a Lawsuit against you...

He Ling shook her head and said: "No, President Zhou, it's not about the Internet Violence. I mean regarding Liu Fangfang concealing her pregnancy... What do you think we should do?"

When asked before, because it was during the period of Internet Violence and could be said to be at the center of the storm, Zhou Yi said at the time to leave this matter alone for now.

Now that the Internet Violence has subsided and things are calm, the previous matter should eventually be discussed.

This is the quality that He Ling must have as an HR Director.

Whether the boss listens is the boss's business, but she must bring it up, otherwise it is her dereliction of duty.

Oh, it's this matter. Zhou Yi himself was actually fine with it, but now as the boss of the Company, he must have certain measures for such things.

Everyone is working for you, so why should she conceal her pregnancy when joining, and then take maternity leave for a miscarriage while still collecting a salary?

People don't worry about scarcity, but about inequality. Now, because of the previous incident, everyone in the Company admires Zhou Yi.

But that doesn't mean people will forget this matter.

Don't find it strange; the human heart is the most complex thing. Why is it often said that binary thinking is undesirable? Because people are too complex.

"Have you talked to her?"

Zhou Yi asked.

"I haven't talked to her yet. However, someone asked before, and she said she didn't even know she was pregnant when she joined."

"We also have a problem with this matter. At the very least, the Employee physical examination wasn't done well at the time of hiring." Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said.

"Go find her and see if there is a time when the pregnancy was detected. If she really didn't know, that would be best."

"But if she really concealed it on purpose... then dismiss her. Follow the law. If the Labor Law requires compensation, then give it. Do whatever needs to be done!"

Earlier, during the Internet Violence incident, Liu Fangfang was a victim, but in this matter, if Liu Fangfang really concealed her pregnancy on purpose, then the Company is the victim.

It's not that if you are a victim in one matter, you become a saint. There is no such logic in this world.

And on the internet now, everyone is Setting a Persona, as if being a victim in one matter means everything they do in the future is good.

This situation is not normal!

Therefore, do whatever needs to be done. Zhou Yi is indeed not that clear about the relevant Labor Law, but the Company has a legal department.

He Ling nodded: "Okay, President Zhou, I'll go get busy now."

Zhou Yi sighed. This is reality, this is life. Just yesterday, he donated money to help with Legal Aid because his Employee Liu Fangfang was being subjected to Internet Violence.

And today, he might have to dismiss her. It looks contradictory, but this is reality.

What is reality? One thing is one thing. What you did is what you did. You cannot ignore your other actions just because you were subjected to Internet Violence before.

To put it more pretentiously, it is that when leading, one must be clear in rewards and punishments. Punishment is also an art.

As for whether dismissing Liu Fangfang right after will cause public opinion issues, it doesn't matter. Zhou Mouren is least afraid of public opinion now.

After staying at the Company for a while longer, seeing that there was nothing left for him to do, Zhou Yi left the Company to go home.

He was about to go to Modu; last time he went to Modu for a case, he hadn't had time to play, so this time he had to have a blast.

Places like Dreamland definitely had to be checked out!

Even though the internet said that such-and-such places weren't fun at all, Zhou Yi didn't care about that; knowledge gained from books is always superficial, one must practice it to truly understand it.

Besides, isn't the whole point of traveling to go where the crowds are!

Returning home, he told his parents about his plan to go out and play, and his parents naturally agreed.

"You young people should go out and walk around more; don't wait until you're our age, when you want to go out but can't," Father Zhou said there.

"What do you mean 'your age,' Dad? What's wrong with your age? People in their seventies or eighties can still join tour groups to travel."

"Actually, if you're willing, you can go travel too; staying in Handong Province your whole life won't do."

"If you want to, I'll sign you up for a tour group."

"No need for that!" Father Zhou waved his hand and said, "No need for you to spend money; keep your money for yourself. If your mother and I want to go out, we'll find our own way."

"Don't, Dad, listen to me. Don't just sign up for random tour groups. It's not easy to find good tour groups these days, and definitely don't sign up for those low-cost tours!"

Zhou Yi hurriedly urged.

He was worried that his parents would try to save money and sign up for a low-cost tour.

Don't look at the low price; once you're out on the trip, it can be even more ruthless than a high-priced tour.

Not to mention the news that often breaks on the internet about this or that, tour guides threatening tourists to buy things, jade, tea, and the like...

"Alright, I know. You brat, you've learned how to lecture me now, haven't you!"

Zhou Yi could only return to his bedroom; his old man's temper was still as stubborn as ever.

Oh, he seemed to have the same temper himself...

After eating lunch, Zhou Yi lay down to play on his phone as usual. Really, lying down to play on your phone right after a meal is a kind of enjoyment!

As a result, he discovered that time passes really fast when you're addicted to the internet. Zhou Yi felt like he had only read novels for a while and scrolled through videos for a bit, but when he looked up, he found it was already dark!

Damn, his parents had gone out and hadn't returned yet, so Zhou Mouren hurriedly started packing his things.

The flight was tomorrow morning, so he packed in advance today to avoid being scatterbrained tomorrow.

The next morning, Father Zhou drove Zhou Yi to the airport.

"Xiao Yi, remember to call when you get to Modu, and be safe on the road."

Mother Zhou began to urge him.

No matter how old this son was, she would still urge him to report his safety when he went out. How did that saying go? A mother worries when her child travels a thousand miles; that was absolutely correct.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It's fine, Mom, it's very safe, don't worry."

He went inside and called Fang Dazhuang to confirm their location.

"Over here, Zhou Yi!"

Zhou Mouren looked over. Fang Dazhuang's gold-rimmed glasses still revealed a bit of a "litigation shark" vibe, his suit was crisp, and his hairstyle proved that this was a strong man among strong men!

Of course, the focus was on Zhou Xinran beside him.

Zhou Yi didn't speak, just looked at the other party.

"Didn't you say you weren't bringing Zhou Cainiao?"

He didn't speak, but Fang Dazhuang understood quickly.

"Sigh, she insisted on coming, what can I do?"

"It's not that I didn't let her come; you were the one who said it would be a hassle to bring her..."

The two stared at each other, communicating just like that, while Zhou Xinran beside them watched, completely bewildered.

Is it appropriate for you two grown men to stand here making eyes at each other?

And I'm still standing right here, hey!

…………

At Hongqiao Airport, Sun Tingting checked the time and then walked toward the arrival gate. According to the time, Professor Fang and the others should be arriving soon.

As for the Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, receiving one person was the same as receiving three; it was all the same since they were brought by Professor Fang.

Sun Tingting was an administrative teacher at the university and was also specifically responsible for receiving Fang Dazhuang this time.

As a result, when she was about to wait at the arrival gate, she discovered that there were quite a lot of people here.

Some people were holding posters and such, waiting there. As a Modu local, Sun Tingting naturally knew that this was probably another case of chasing stars.

There are truly many celebrities in a place like Modu, and there are many celebrities you would never expect living here.

Correspondingly, you would often see celebrities at this airport arrival gate.

Naturally, there would be some fans coming to pick them up.

Of course, you never know if they are spontaneous or the kind that go, "Two hundred a day, shout loudly for money, cry while shouting loudly for more money"...

Anyway, there were many fans and many reporters (paparazzi) here conducting professional street photography and candid shots.

What, you think those beautiful photos of celebrities during street photography come from nowhere? Those are all arranged in advance.

Let's just put it this way: for some celebrities, the path out of the airport isn't a path; it's a runway!

In short, here, celebrity fans and paparazzi reporters together formed a part of the massive group known as the fan economy.

Sun Tingting stood a little further away; she was quite clear that the entourage of those celebrities was truly grand.

Regardless of whether anyone was surrounding them, the bodyguards by their side were absolutely essential.

Thus, you would get that situation where there were more bodyguards than fans...

Just as Sun Tingting was thinking about these things, suddenly, someone beside her started talking.

"They're coming, they're coming, get ready! Those few who are crying, you all better cry properly! And those preparing to go up for autographs, watch the cameras!"

Sun Tingting shrugged; it looked like this was the "two hundred a day" crowd.

Just at this moment, voices began to ring out one after another ahead!

"Everyone move aside, move aside a little!"

Accompanied by the voices, one could see a full dozen men wearing security uniforms shielding a woman whose face could not be seen clearly at all, walking over all the way.

The crowd around them had already raised their posters; those clapping had already started clapping desperately, and those crying were even streaming with tears and snot... that was what you call professional!

Not to mention anything else, just this acting skill was far better than those female celebrities who only knew how to stare with wide eyes.

Seeing that group of people had already come over, Sun Tingting hurriedly tried to move aside, but it was a bit late and she was shoved away by a bodyguard in front.

Poor Miss Sun was very thin and small, and after being shoved like that, she almost lost her footing; she turned around wanting to shout a few words, but seeing the situation, she closed her mouth again.

Forget it, it was better not to argue with them; even if she did, there would be no result.

She still had to work today, and those people certainly wouldn't care about these things.

Sun Tingting puffed out her cheeks and stood at the front again to wait.

The people around were fewer than before, but there were still many.

After waiting for another while, Sun Tingting soon saw a familiar figure walk out.

Those gold-rimmed glasses, that forehead, that was right, it was her who received Professor Fang when he came last year too.

"Professor Fang, over here!" Sun Tingting shouted from far away.

"Someone has come to pick us up, let's go over!" Fang Dazhuang smiled.

Zhou Yi nodded and just followed him over.

As it turned out, just at this moment, another group of people walked out from the arrival gate behind.

Consequently, Zhou Mouren discovered in horror that at this very instant, the people around surged up all at once, and some even started crying directly...

Holy crap, is this supposed to be a surprise?

He hurriedly turned to look, and it was another pile of people surrounding a female celebrity walking out; those men wearing security uniforms were also constantly shouting: "Move aside, make way!"

Then Zhou Yi saw that anyone who moved too slowly would be shoved away directly.

He had always watched videos of this online before, but now experiencing it in person, he felt this was damn unpleasant!

Forget it, he wouldn't move; the road was so wide, why should he be the one to move!

"Hey, I'm talking to you, move aside a bit!"

A shout came from behind, but Zhou Yi acted as if he hadn't heard it and walked his own path as he pleased.

Fang Dazhuang had noticed it too, but he didn't move either.

The first update of May, Zhou Mouren has arrived in Modu! Lao Jiu actually got a Silver Alliance, holy crap! Thanks to Brother Aibzai for the Silver Alliance!

The big boss told me that there is no need for extra updates for now; wait until the sixty thousand words are paid off first, then we can talk about other things, as quality and quantity must be ensured.
