Chapter 204: Copying Homework, Everyone Go Be Serious!

~15 min read 2,982 words

Manager Chang's current feeling is roughly: I just told the people below to prepare themselves, and that the Company would absolutely not modify the terms.

After pouring out several bowls of chicken soup for the soul and finally managing to stir up everyone's emotions, you now tell me we've decided to modify them?

Most importantly, when you held the meeting for us earlier, you didn't say that; you said back then that it was impossible to modify them!

He really wanted to ask: Boss, did you drink too much?

But alas, the other party is the boss, and in such a situation, Manager Chang can only follow orders.

In the conference room, Xu Xiaoqi was finishing a discussion with her colleagues next to her about what to do; the simplest way was still to get that person named Zhou Yi to drop the Lawsuit.

"But Xiaoqi, we've all watched his videos; this guy is just... a bit thick-headed, stubborn and difficult. He won't drop the Lawsuit."

The colleague next to her shrugged and said.

Previously, she had only watched the later videos, but after catching up on all the earlier ones, Xu Xiaoqi realized what kind of ruthless person she had encountered.

Like those times he mediated with people, only to get up and leave right after speaking—the other party has done that more than once.

And he really isn't just trying to scare people; he really seems to be particularly eager to fight this Lawsuit with you.

And that Lawyer by his side, who is on the verge of going bald, his eyes light up every time he hears about fighting a Lawsuit.

It was only after learning from Lawyer He that she realized this person is a renowned Lawyer in the industry, truly that kind of big-shot Lawyer!

Back then, he dominated in Modu, but later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly left Modu and returned to his hometown, Jingzhou.

One person is willing to top up one million just to make the person who retrieved their account receive an education, and the other is a well-known big-shot Lawyer in the industry.

With two such people walking together, Xu Xiaoqi already feels a headache.

"There's always a way to think of something; since the other party is stubborn and difficult, we can adopt a roundabout strategy..." Xu Xiaoqi had a flash of inspiration and said there.

"Look, this matter isn't a big deal after all; we can find his parents, his friends, and persuade him together..."

The more she spoke, the more excited she felt; Xu Xiaoqi took out her notebook and began to brainstorm on it.

Although she has only been in public relations for two or three years, she is experienced; those that others cannot handle, she can!

This time, she must prepare well and show that man surnamed Zhou what's what!

However, just as Manager Xu Xiaoqi was trying every way to come up with a solution, the conference room door was pushed open, and Manager Chang walked in with a dark face.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment. Ahem, well, I'm here to notify you of some news: we don't need to do anything anymore."

Seeing everyone looking at him with confusion, Manager Chang continued: "It means our Company has decided to modify the terms."

What the hell? Xu Xiaoqi looked at the notebook in her hand, already filled with content; I've prepared so many ideas, and now you say we're going to modify them?

Manager Chang, did you drink too much!

"I know everyone doesn't understand, but this is the Company's decision, just follow it. Afterward, you can first coordinate with the Legal Department, and then prepare to continue Mediation."

Xu Xiaoqi threw her notebook onto the table and took a deep breath; this must be the fate of a public relations professional.

Although she had just said to the other party that it was absolutely impossible to modify them, so what? As long as I have no shame, I am invincible.

This is probably the fate of a working stiff...

By now, there are actually quite a lot of people online paying attention to this matter, although, as Zhou Yi said before, many of them would never go to Dreamland.

But that doesn't stop them from paying attention to this matter!

By now, the public opinion online has almost completely tipped to one side, and many people have asked that question on Dreamland Company's official website: On what grounds?

And under such circumstances, finally, Dreamland Company responded once again.

This response was not a long-winded one like before; it was only a few short sentences.

That is, Dreamland Company will modify the "prohibition on bringing food into the park" clause, changing it to: except for a few special food items that are prohibited, visitors may bring food and beverages intended for their own consumption into the park.

Accompanied by another piece of news: Dreamland Company has reached a Mediation with the six plaintiffs and has paid the compensation for the six people's damaged food.

This news came suddenly, leaving the onlookers, who were already prepared to watch a tug-of-war, dumbfounded.

"That's it? It's over? Why so fast? Could there be some conspiracy in the middle? They just mediated?"

"Yeah, I think so too. How could the Mediation be so fast? They must have taken money."

"Report them, let them investigate! They used everyone's emotions to hype it up, and now that they've got the money, they're mediating, right!"

Online discourse, well, is always like this; you can't satisfy everyone.

Naturally, some people retorted directly.

"Is the current result not enough? The goal has been achieved, they have already changed the Bully Clause; what else do you want if not Mediation?"

Anyway, in the eyes of conspiracy theorists, there is a conspiracy theory for everything in this world.

Everyone supported you to fight Dreamland Company to the death, but now you're mediating, so we have no drama to watch!

But in the end, those who spew nonsense are the minority, and rational people are the majority; everyone feels that reaching this point is already a victory!

To be able to make Dreamland Company, which claims to have the strongest Legal Department on the surface of the earth, compromise, one can imagine how much pressure those few plaintiffs were under.

Since the goal has been achieved, why can't there be a Mediation?

This is also one of the Court's means of resolution!

At the entrance of Dreamland, Xiao Liu looked at the news on his phone, his mouth unable to close, and Lu next to him even had his hands shaking.

The Company is actually going to change its regulations; those few people really did it!

This is something they never expected; they originally thought they would just complain a bit and it would end up like before, but not only did they file a Lawsuit, they even got a result!

Teacher Yan Jianhong, who had already returned home, also saw the report and was excited; he had never done such a thing in his life.

But now he finds that this feeling of defending one's own rights is really great. Isn't it just a web novel? I'll upload today, sign the contract tomorrow, and become a big shot the day after!

While people online were arguing noisily, here, no one knew that Zhou Yi and Lawyer Fang had already taken a flight back to Jingzhou.

Zhou Yi's father had already driven to pick them up, and after saying goodbye to the two, Zhou Yi returned home once again.

Comfortable; home is still the most comfortable. This trip was originally intended for a good time, but it ended up causing a pile of trouble.

Fortunately, the system was reliable, and this matter landed smoothly.

It feels like it happened for no reason; I did a good deed, a Public Interest Litigation, but from beginning to end, the only Dreamland Company personnel I saw were that Xu Xiaoqi and another Lawyer.

So despite the success, there wasn't that sense of satisfaction that usually comes after finishing a serious pursuit.

Perhaps it was because I didn't see the other party crying and wailing, or maybe sending people inside is just more effective...

Wait! Zhou Mouren was suddenly shocked; what was wrong with him now, why was his thinking starting to resemble Fang Dazhuang's, wanting to send people inside at every turn?

He quickly shook his head; he couldn't be like this. He had been too close to Fang Dazhuang lately and needed to keep a little distance so as not to be influenced.

For now, he should just finish making the video.

"Hello everyone, today we are looking at the follow-up on Dreamland Company; the public opinion situation after the Lawsuit is as follows..."

He briefly introduced the online discourse, and of course, it was impossible to mention his own friends.

"In this situation, the Court did their work, Dreamland Company prepared to enter Mediation with us, and then you can see, they had no intention of modifying the terms at all at that time!"

What appeared here was the recording of Xu Xiaoqi, plus the corresponding Stick Figure Animation; after all, it wasn't like last time, and with official support, he certainly couldn't use things haphazardly this time.

"Then, Dreamland Company's attitude angered everyone, causing public opinion to boil over, official media stepped in, and then Dreamland Company finally compromised."

"We signed the Mediation agreement in court, but as you can all see, the time Dreamland Company issued the modified terms was 11:38, while the time we signed the agreement was 11:45."

This was a small detail that Fang Dazhuang had requested.

"So, we only collected the compensation for that food, and everyone's conspiracy theories can stop now. By the way, more than one slanderer has already been sent inside so far, keep it up everyone!"

Finally, Zhou Yi also summarized the entire incident.

"I'll say it again: rights are fought for. Many rights are stipulated in the law, but in reality, because of this or that reason, many people don't take them seriously."

"For unfair things, we must dare to say no!"

"Many people will say, 'It's useless even if I do something.' Yes, maybe it really is useless if you do it."

"But is it okay to say it's useless before even trying? If you don't do it and I don't do it, and we don't even take our own fairness seriously, then who can we count on?"

This was what Zhou Yi wanted to say most: don't fear being slow, fear standing still. This society needs more people who take things seriously!

After finishing, he checked it front to back again, found no problems, and uploaded it.

"A Yi, you're busy as soon as you get back, come and eat quickly." Mother Zhou was already calling from outside.

Today's lunch was very sumptuous, and it still included Zhou Yi's favorite braised pig trotters. The braised pig trotters Mother Zhou made were a specialty; the meat was quite firm, but it tasted especially fragrant when eaten!

While eating, Mother Zhou said, "By the way, A Yi, your father and I have decided to join a tour group and are planning to go out for a trip."

"And you, find some time to go back to Lincheng to take a look, see how the renovation is going, and keep an eye on it."

Huh? Zhou Yi said hurriedly, "Wait, Mom, you are joining a tour group? I said last time, don't join those low-priced shopping tours."

"If you want to join a tour group, join those high-priced ones. Don't be afraid of spending money, you know? Otherwise, they'll make you buy things later, which is even more of a trap."

"Okay, I know, we'll join a high-priced tour," Mother Zhou laughed.

Zhou Yi shook his head. If this were in the past, he would certainly be at ease; high-priced tours were generally somewhat reliable.

Although there would still be shopping, at least it wouldn't be that much of a trap.

But low-priced tours must absolutely not be joined; they rarely take you to scenic spots and only take you to shops.

"Mom, there's no need to go back to Lincheng either, right? Didn't you say it was done by our relative? Do we still need to go back and check?" Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said deliberately.

His parents were good at everything, except that they were kind-hearted and always felt that everyone else was good.

Especially with relatives around them; they thought of relatives for any work, first considering if the relative could do it.

Zhou Yi had wanted to talk about this before, but it wasn't easy to say.

Little did they know, there is an old saying these days: strangers trap you for half, acquaintances trap you for the grand slam!

Why do strangers only trap you for half? Because they don't know your background; what if there really is a problem and you come to cause them trouble?

It's easier with acquaintances; everyone knows each other's roots, so they know you definitely aren't the type to cause trouble, so it's best to trap you thoroughly once and for all!

Don't find it strange; Zhou Mouren once learned when Fang Dazhuang was popularizing the law that there was an uncle who dealt in used cars and even trapped his own nephew...

This, of course, belongs to extreme cases, but no matter who you are dealing with, you cannot lack the necessary caution.

Father Zhou said, "Alright, find some time to go back and look. It's not that your mother is worried, but after all, it's a renovation, that's not a small matter."

"Okay, I know, I will find time to go back."

…………

A Yi updated his video, he finally has something below!

In a very short time, the video's bullet comments started flying wildly, because for everyone, this incident was like watching a live broadcast on the internet.

Both sides were doing this and that, but unfortunately, one couldn't see the corresponding details.

Now everyone wanted to get something from A Yi's video.

The repeated introductions of public opinion, the Mediation, and the other party's slightly arrogant attitude were all displayed vividly in the video.

He, Zhou Yi, was no longer an ordinary person, but in front of those people, he still didn't count for much.

Pusa Xiong finally finished watching; he could guess that it was the official media stepping in that made Dreamland Company finally compromise.

Or rather, that was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

He hurried to the comment section, only to find that this comment section had already become a "serious-pursuit" zone...

"Purple Star Inviting the Moon": I won't say much, there's a KTV near my house that forbids bringing your own drinks. I'm taking some Erguotou to go argue with them. If I don't return, then I don't return!

"Wind Clear Moon": Big shot, don't go, that's a KTV, not a restaurant, don't go!

"Life is Like a Dream": It's detailed, Fang Dazhuang is really detailed. To be honest, this Public Interest Litigation being resolved to this extent has already exceeded my expectations.

Those people online are still spraying that A Yi took money; if A Yi could take money, a sow could climb a tree!

The video was quickly reposted elsewhere, and finally, the previous discussions slowly calmed down.

It was also mainly because this incident had been going on for a while, and it was impossible to occupy the top of the trending searches forever.

Most importantly, another celebrity couple, the kind who show their affection daily, announced their divorce, which suddenly snatched away everyone's focus.

Anyway, it was just a coincidence, a coincidence as if they had deliberately announced their divorce at this time.

After eating, Zhou Yi started looking at the comments as usual; he was waiting for the event progress to reach one hundred percent, waiting to see what the reward would be this time.

Just then, he received a call from General Manager Quan.

"Yes, I'm back. There are many things to report, but over the phone... forget it, I'll go to the Company first."

It really didn't seem appropriate to talk over the phone, and he hadn't been to the Company for a while; as the Chairman of the Company, he couldn't be absent forever.

Not long after, Zhou Yi arrived at the Company. He had eaten lunch early at home, so it was just lunchtime at the Company.

Outside the office building, there was a pile of delivery tables, and many delivery riders would place their deliveries on them after arriving.

Then, people kept coming down to pick up their deliveries, and for a moment, the entrance to the office building was actually a bit crowded.

Zhou Yi decided to wait a little; after all, he wasn't in a rush, but the time of these office workers was still very precious.

If they finished eating earlier, they could rest a while longer, and resting a while longer meant they would have more energy to work, striving to let him, the Company boss, change to a new car.

Just as he was waiting, Zhou Yi saw an Employee who had come down to pick up a delivery suddenly start complaining.

"Who the f*ck took my delivery!"

Finally managed to get it out; there is only a guaranteed eight thousand words today, so I'm embarrassed to ask for votes.
