Chapter 207: Surely Nothing Will Go Wrong This Time!

I took the watch out directly, set the time, and put it on. You have to admit, before putting it on, it was no different from those at a roadside stall.

After putting it on, thinking in my heart that this is a four-hundred-thousand-yuan watch, the feeling hit me in an instant.

"Sigh, tell me, are you not living up to expectations? Look at what other people's systems give them, and then look at you. Even a watch is only... Sigh, I'm getting carried away. I actually dared to say 'only' four hundred thousand."

Habitually complaining, Zhou Yi began to carefully admire his watch. If you were to say it was exceptionally good, it didn't really look like it.

But just such a thing, in some areas of their Lincheng, could be used to pay a down payment directly.

That's why they say the gap between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between people and dogs. For him, this thing is just a tool for Pretending to be Cool.

It's just that he, Zhou Mouren, doesn't like Pretending to be Cool; he likes being passive.

After returning from Modu, because of the news of those two celebrities' divorce, the previous cases of Cyber Violence and the Dreamland matter were all suppressed.

The Propaganda Department of Jingzhou City is still promoting it, but it is impossible for it to have the same heat as before.

Regarding this, Zhou Yi's thought is very simple: water leaves the ground wet; legal education is a long and arduous task.

As long as one thing can be remembered by everyone, and can let everyone know what our rights are in this matter, then that is already enough.

You cannot say it is right just because it was like that in the past, nor can you say it is right just because everyone does it. Where there is law, it must be followed; that is what is right!

"Xiao Yi, are you going out later? If you aren't, your mother and I are going down to look at some Travel Agencies. We've already made appointments to meet with a few this afternoon."

Father Zhou shouted toward the bedroom.

This meant they were preparing to go out, so Zhou Yi hurriedly said:

"Ah? You're going to a Travel Agency this afternoon? Ahem, I'll go with you. There are many pitfalls in Travel Agencies these days; I'm afraid you'll step into one."

Although he, Zhou Yi, doesn't know much about it now either, he is not fighting alone.

Just leave professional matters to professional people. If Fang Dazhuang can't make it, isn't there still Zhou Cainiao?

If Zhou Cainiao can't make it, that legal lady from the Company also looks pretty good...

Upon hearing this, Father Zhou immediately said: "No need, right? Are your mom and I the type of people to get scammed? It's fine. There shouldn't be that many scammy ones now, right?"

Zhou Yi thought to himself, if you weren't my parents, you might not necessarily encounter a pit, but given my current situation, it's better to be careful. You never know when you might run into a pit.

From a metaphysical perspective, it seems like obtaining the system used up all his luck for a lifetime, and it even causes the people around him to frequently encounter pits.

"Dad, let's go together. I'll have a Lawyer friend take a look at the contract for us; it's always better that way."

Father Zhou nodded upon hearing this. He suddenly felt that his son had been graduated for over a year, and the change was so great.

Back when he was in college, he was still the head of the household, his word was law, and no matter what he said, his son wouldn't refute it.

But now, from the previous Elevator incident to this travel matter, he felt inexplicably a bit smaller in front of his son.

Actually, this is very normal. Every one of us goes through this stage. When children are young, we are the parents.

Because we hold the economic power and are the main force of the family, naturally, whatever we say goes.

But after the children grow up, they start earning money, and they might even earn more than you do. At this time, they naturally have a say in family life.

The economic base determines the superstructure; Marxist philosophy does not deceive me...

And Father Zhou just felt that his son had grown up.

Deciding to go out, Zhou Yi tidied up a bit, then called Fang Dazhuang while going downstairs.

"Fang Dazhuang, are you busy? Oh, you have something on? I don't have much going on, it's just that my parents are planning to go out for a trip and intend to have someone look at a contract."

"Okay, I'll call Lawyer Zhou then."

"Are you busy, Lawyer Zhou? Not busy? That's great. My parents are planning to go out for a trip and want to join a tour group, but they need your help to look at the specific contract. Okay, I'll go to the law firm to pick you up first."

After hanging up, Zhou Yi quickly took his parents out.

Inside the law firm, Zhou Xinran put down her phone. She didn't think much of it; Zhou Yi had previously asked her to make those short videos about gym contracts.

It's just that she only made a few episodes, and unsurprisingly, Zhou Mouren stopped updating again. As for when there will be more, only heaven knows.

This time it was about a Travel Agency contract. To be honest, Zhou Xinran really didn't know much about the things inside it.

This is where Zhou Yi didn't quite understand; he just felt that it was a contract, and it was very normal to call a Lawyer to look at a contract...

Of course, Zhou Xinran understands the law; she understands contract law very well. But if a Lawyer wants to do well in a certain field, she must understand the things in that field.

In legal practice, there are many non-litigation Lawyers who make a lot of money by completely integrating the law with specific industries and mastering them thoroughly.

For example, those who specialize in financial investment law, or those who specialize in corporate law.

This requires you not to just know the law; if you only know the law, it is absolutely impossible to do this well.

And regarding things related to tourism, Zhou Xinran truly didn't know.

She even dared to say that, even now, many people who have gone on group tours don't know what kind of logic the Travel Agency's operating system follows.

To put it simply, the process a tourism product goes through from production to market entry to final consumption, and what kind of people operate what kind of things once they arrive—if you aren't in the industry, you really don't understand it.

That is why the tourism industry is full of huge pits.

Everyone can only say, try not to go on group tours, and even if you do, absolutely do not sign up for those low-price tours.

Those are all meant to scam you to death.

Of course, there wasn't actually any particularly big problem. It was just looking at a contract, so Zhou Xinran wasn't worried about anything.

Soon, Zhou Yi arrived at the law firm and picked up Zhou Xinran.

As soon as she got in the car, Mother Zhou's eyes lit up. Heaven knows why, but now whenever she sees an eligible girl around Zhou Yi, her eyes light up.

Although Zhou Yi said last time that the other party had a boyfriend... but that didn't hinder chatting.

Those few Travel Agencies they agreed on were not very far from Yuefu Residential Quarter; it took about twenty minutes by car to get there.

There are too many online shops now, and Father Zhou and Mother Zhou have a natural distrust of things on the internet. This seems to be a common ailment of their generation.

Zhou Yi himself also felt that, at the very least, having a physical store would be better; at the very least, if something happens, you can still find a place.

An hour later, the four of them got out of the car. They had already looked at three Travel Agencies.

They were all the kind that looked unprofessional, the kind that even Father Zhou and Mother Zhou felt were unreliable.

So they left after only a few words, and then arrived at the entrance of this Travel Agency, which was also one they felt good about when chatting online earlier.

Xingtianxia Travel Agency is said to have been open for quite a long time; since it has been open for so long, it shows they really have some skills.

The group of four entered the shop, and a young woman soon walked out from inside to receive them.

"Hey, hello, hello. Oh, you had an appointment, right? Uncle Zhou, is this your son? And this one... come, come, come, everyone sit down first, let me introduce things to you all."

The young woman's smile was quite sweet; at the very least, it was very much to Zhou Yi's mother's liking.

"My name is Zhou Xiaoxiao, I'm even from the same clan as you. Also, our Travel Agency has been open for five or six years, and our reputation here is quite good; it's plain for all to see."

"And then, you two are planning to go to Hannan Province this time, right? That place is truly nice, it's especially comfortable to go during this season..."

It was actually no different from other salespeople; they all start with a flurry of flowery descriptions, and then move on to the real goods.

"Uncle Zhou, our tours have different price points, and the places we go are also different. Look at this, there is a very detailed description on here."

"It depends on your budget. If your budget is a bit lower, then I recommend this one: a six-day, five-night tour for two. It's especially cheap, only nine hundred and ninety-nine..."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi saw that his parents were clearly tempted!

Six days and five nights, not to mention anything else, just the round-trip airfare from Jingzhou to there is definitely more than this price!

And you have to add the accommodation costs for six days and five nights; just hearing this makes it feel damn worth it, it simply couldn't be more worth it!

Although they knew beforehand that low-price tours are unreliable, people are just like this: once they see something cheap, they cast aside all those bad things.

They all think, when the time comes, I just won't buy anything, right? Could they possibly force me to buy?

Little do they know, the people who set these traps are exactly looking for those who think this way.

"Uncle Zhou, this price is really a bargain. You can visit all the famous scenic spots for just this much money..."

Just at this moment, Zhou Yi spoke up: "Hello, there's no need to introduce this low-price tour. My parents mainly want to go for fun and don't want to buy things."

It's a tactic that has already been used to death, so let's just forget it.

"If all your tours are like this, then we'll be leaving now."

To be honest, for young people, they would definitely avoid booking a tour if they could, but unfortunately, Zhou Yi's parents are not young people.

They are also not like other people's parents who are very savvy with travel; it is indeed not very convenient for them to go out on their own, so they have to join a tour.

But as soon as he heard "low-price tour," Zhou Yi felt it was unreliable.

"Ah, no worries, no worries. We have tours at all price points here. It seems you, Uncle and Auntie, have a sufficient budget, then you can book our luxury quality tour!"

"This luxury quality tour of ours is absolutely..."

Seeing that this young woman was about to start rambling on and on, Zhou Yi interrupted directly: "First tell me, is there no shopping involved?"

His Recording Pen was already turned on; one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must have the intention to guard against them.

All one can do is take precautions.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly smiled and said: "No, there is definitely no shopping. It's a Pure Play Tour."

"Fine, I understand. Take out your contract; this friend of mine is a Lawyer, let her take a look first."

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked up at Zhou Xinran. She had thought the other party was Zhou Yi's girlfriend, but she didn't expect her to be a Lawyer friend.

In this day and age, people bring a Lawyer just to book a tour?

She had never encountered such a situation in all her time in the industry...

After all, how much does a tour fee cost, and how much does it cost to hire a Lawyer? With that kind of money, people would have already gone on a self-driving tour.

However, Zhou Xiaoxiao still said: "Alright, you look at the itinerary first, and I'll go get the contract for you. You are definitely going to book, right?"

"Of course I can't be sure about that right now. If you don't give me the contract, I don't even know what the situation is, so how can I be sure?" Zhou Yi said, spreading his hands.

"Those contracts are all Standard Contracts, they are the same for everyone. Mr. Zhou, our shop has been open for these few years."

"Then forget it. If you won't let us see the contract first, we'll just find another shop." Zhou Yi said, preparing to stand up and leave.

It's a bad habit; they ask if you're sure about everything, but won't even let you see a contract in advance. How can I be sure without looking at the contract?

Since Zhou Yi wanted to leave, his parents naturally listened to him and also prepared to stand up and leave.

Zhou Xiaoxiao, on the opposite side, became anxious. Although it is now the peak tourist season, every single order is very important.

It is currently a travel craze, and many people are going out to travel. The number of Travel Agencies in Jingzhou City is exploding, and the internal competition is extremely severe.

Therefore, no order can be given up, especially those who come to the shop in person.

People in sales all know that customers who come to the shop on their own are high-quality customers.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoxiao could only say: "Hey, hey, Uncle and Auntie, don't be in such a hurry. I will make an exception and let you see the contract."

As she spoke, seeing Zhou Yi and the others stop, Zhou Xiaoxiao took out the contract and said: "Actually, this is against the rules, but since I'm from the same clan as Uncle, we're fated, so just take a look."

The implication in her words was: I've already broken the rules for you, so just book this order.

Zhou Yi didn't speak and handed the contract to Zhou Xinran beside him.

Zhou Cainiao started to look at it carefully. A contract is a simple thing if you say it's simple, but if you say it's difficult, you might have to study for a long time to become proficient.

In a contract, where the traps are and where there aren't, and what problems lie in between—all of this requires deep experience to judge.

After roughly finishing it, to her surprise, Zhou Xinran found that this contract was quite simple, and the contents stipulated within were all normal.

There were also no particularly disgusting Bully Clauses.

So, after asking a few questions, she nodded and said: "Alright Zhou Yi, this contract is fine."

"Of course there's no problem. Our Travel Agency has been open for a few years; if there were problems, we certainly wouldn't be able to stay open." Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled.

That's fine then. The contract is fine, the money spent was quite a bit, and the other party also said it was a Pure Play Tour, so there shouldn't be any more problems, right?

Sign the contract, pay the money, and leave.

The departure date is in three days, and there will be a bus to pick them up then.

Walking out of the Travel Agency, Zhou Yi still exhorted his parents: "If anything happens when the time comes, remember to call me."

Zhou Yi's father smiled upon hearing this: "Alright, Xiao Yi, your mother and I are not children. We know our limits, it'll be fine."

With the matter of his parents going out to travel settled, Zhou Yi felt slightly relieved. Because it was on the way, he first sent his parents home, and then sent Zhou Cainiao.

After dropping her off at the law firm and settling the consultation fee, Zhou Yi drove home.

Zhou Xinran stood at the entrance of the law firm, looking at the message on her phone with a speechless expression; that Qi Bing really won't let this end, will he!

…………

Time quickly arrived at the morning of the next day, and Zhou Yi came to the Company, first setting up all three of his cameras.

Then he waited as usual, and this time he also placed his own takeout and that of the Company executives downstairs.

These takeout orders were of high value, and he believed the other party would be very willing to steal them, which would save them from affecting the Employees' work efficiency and affecting the changing of cars for him, President Zhou.

Besides, this also made it easier to distinguish.

The busyness of noon quickly passed, and as expected, the other party still arrived at the entrance right on time and took away a relatively expensive takeout order.

Moreover, it was obvious that she had already seen the notice sign, but from beginning to end, she did not show any reaction, as if she were just taking her own takeout.

Under these circumstances, time quietly arrived at the third day!

……
