Chapter 211: Money is Easy to Talk About! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Zhou Xinran's brows furrowed.

"I wasn't aware of this situation before... What is wrong with the parties involved these days? Ah, you tell me, one after another, can't they just speak honestly?"

"Starting from that Xu Yufeng..."

Seeing that it seemed like she had stepped on a nerve, Zhou Cainiao began to rant crazily, and Zhou Yi couldn't help but wipe his sweat.

"That... Xinran, alright, let's stop ranting for now."

After persuading her for a good while, Zhou Xinran finally stopped.

"Xinran, it really isn't that I'm making things difficult for you; she went too far in this matter, you know, and it wasn't just me!"

"There are also the employees at our Company; she had stolen quite a few takeout orders before that, and the other victim is an employee of the Company who had them stolen for two days in a row!"

"He is the one who truly wants the other party to go inside; you tell me, under these circumstances, it is really hard to issue a Letter of Forgiveness."

"We are friends, so of course I support your work. As long as the other party is willing to sincerely admit their mistake and speak properly, I am actually not saying that I won't issue a Letter of Forgiveness."

Zhou Yi is not a lunatic who just enjoys seeing others go to jail.

That Up Master who smeared him so badly last time, didn't the Mediation succeed, and he didn't let him go to jail?

And that time with the stolen videos, the other party's parents were so sincere, and he forgave them too.

The key is Yuan Jianhua!

"I see, fine, then I will go meet that Yuan Jianhua first. Actually, from what I have seen, that girl named Li Hua has indeed realized her mistake."

"Her father is also very reasonable. Let's do this: I will go meet Yuan Jianhua first, and then, there is a high probability that Li Hua will be released on Bail Pending Trial."

"When the time comes, let her apologize to you in person, and you can see for yourself whether she has realized her mistake, and then decide, how about that?"

Apologizing in person... that seems like it could work.

"That will do, go to the Company to find him, and right, don't mention my name."

Zhou Yi knew very clearly that if Yuan Jianhua knew Zhou Xinran knew him, he would definitely choose to accept the Mediation.

So he could not show his face.

"Small matter, I definitely won't mention you!"

After chatting, Zhou Yi incidentally dropped Zhou Xinran off outside Tengda Company, then went straight home himself.

He had to start making his new video.

Zhou Xinran prepared to contact Yuan Jianhua, but before that, she decided to have a word with Li Guoliang first.

"Yes, forgiveness requires compensation. If there is forgiveness, then there is hope. It is impossible not to have a Case Record, Mr. Li, this is a Public Prosecution Case after all, and the arrest has already been made."

"The sentencing will be quite favorable. You prepare the deposit first, and we will handle the Bail Pending Trial first to let Li Hua out."

"Yes, apology, compensation, try to make the other party satisfied, then there will be no problem. Ah? I understand."

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Xinran thought about what that Mr. Li had said, then dialed Yuan Jianhua's number.

In the office area, Yuan Jianhua was working; he picked up his phone when it rang and answered it, and immediately, his colleagues nearby heard his roar.

"I'm telling you, Lawyer Zhou, impossible, I absolutely cannot forgive her, she stole our Company's takeout for many days!"

The colleagues were all sharp; hearing this, they knew it must be the other party who had found a Lawyer to negotiate.

"Old Yuan is right, that woman should just go inside!" a colleague nearby laughed out loud.

"And her attitude, she doesn't know she's wrong at all. Let me just say this, I won't forgive her, and don't you come looking for..."

Old Yuan's roar was interrupted.

"Li Hua's father is very reasonable; he said as long as you can forgive her, money is easy to talk about."

Money is easy to talk about... Once these words came out, Old Yuan's voice dropped by eight degrees.

"What... why are you saying that? This forgiveness isn't a matter of money... is it really easy to talk about?"

"It really is easy to talk about, Mr. Yuan. Li Hua's father is also a Company boss, a rich man, money and such things are all easy to talk about!"

Zhou Xinran said with a natural expression.

"Fine, I will notify you when the time comes, let's meet and talk!"

Yuan Jianhua put down the phone, and the eyes of the colleagues around him were strange.

"You just agreed? For this bit of money? Oh, if it were me, I would agree too..."

Everyone is a corporate slave, so let's not say anything else.

What is working for, if not to make money?

The other party only stole takeout, after all; with money to be made, who wouldn't agree? It's not like they are the boss, who only wants to send people to jail.

Outside, having hung up the phone, there was still a trace of disbelief on Zhou Xinran's face.

Just like that? What eloquence or lack thereof, it seemed it wasn't needed at all.

Facing this situation, the method of throwing money at it seemed much better than other methods.

And Zhou Yi had described his Employee as being so bitter and deep-seated in hatred, but as soon as the issue of money was brought up, that attitude changed instantly.

However, Zhou Xinran would certainly not mock the other party, let alone say any bullshit like "Aren't you just doing it for the money?"

Money is a good thing; don't you see that even if you take a life, in the end, it is still compensated with money.

Money indeed cannot buy a life, but money is also one of the only things that can quantify a life; other things like love, like freedom, those are individual cases.

Because besides money, you don't have anything else to show your sincerity, just rely on that mouth of yours?

This was the first time Zhou Xinran had felt the effectiveness of a client.

After thinking for a moment, she called Zhou Mouren.

On the other side, Zhou Yi had already returned home and was preparing to start recording his video.

"What? Yuan Jianhua agreed? As long as the money is there? This... well, Xinran, I am the same."

Zhou Xinran: "..."

Zhou Yi's thinking was also very simple: since the other party is sincere, then forgiving is fine, and it's not like there won't be a sentence after forgiving.

It is just that there will be a difference in the sentencing.

Besides, Zhou Cainiao hasn't really handled a proper lawsuit since starting out, so as a friend, it doesn't hurt to show some support.

Originally, if Yuan Jianhua didn't agree to a settlement, then she certainly wouldn't have agreed either, fearing it might influence the other party's thinking.

But since he has agreed, then she will certainly agree as well.

After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on Zhou Xinran's face; there was no need to worry at all, this case was simpler than she had thought.

Plus, with some of the points of debate involved, Zhou Xinran was very confident!

Cases with such minor circumstances have a high probability of resulting in control or Criminal Detention, and after putting in the effort, Zhou Xinran was confident she could change the method of execution to a Suspended Sentence!

A Suspended Sentence is what is known in Criminal Law as a temporary stay of execution.

Many people's understanding of a Suspended Sentence is the Death Penalty with Reprieve, the Death Penalty, with a two-year reprieve.

And as long as one is sentenced to a reprieve, if there is no new crime within the two-year period, then one will not die.

But in reality, the Death Penalty with Reprieve and a Suspended Sentence are two completely different concepts.

A Suspended Sentence refers to a system where, for a criminal sentenced to a certain penalty, the execution of the penalty is conditionally stayed for a certain period; it is a temporary stay of the execution of the penalty.

A Suspended Sentence is not a type of penalty, but a method of executing a penalty.

To put it in plain language, a Suspended Sentence is a conditional method of executing a penalty.

As long as one accepts Community Correction during the period of the Suspended Sentence and none of the specified circumstances occur, then upon expiration, the penalty will not be executed, and this will be declared.

Of course, if you stir up trouble during the period of the Suspended Sentence, then things will be handled as they should be.

This was the direction of Zhou Xinran's efforts; as long as there was a Suspended Sentence, then although Li Hua would have a Case Record, at the very least he wouldn't have to actually go to jail.

However, she had learned her lesson this time; no matter what, she would not give Li Guoliang any promises, and anyway, she would just phrase everything as doing her best.

So next, it was time to proceed with Bail Pending Trial; she must let Li Hua know that he needs to plead guilty, show remorse, and offer a proper apology.

…………

At home, Zhou Yi put down his phone and also smiled; Zhou Cainiao is starting to turn his luck around now.

Presumably, this case definitely won't have any oversights now; if there were, he would start to suspect that Zhou Cainiao also had a system.

Resentment Value Absorption System……

Never mind that, the Company has already finished editing the relevant video.

"Hello, my dear audience lords, hello everyone, another video is here; after this video is done, I plan to take a break for a while."

"Really, being serious about things is a bit tiring."

"This time it's like this: the Company's Employees' takeout is often stolen, and it just so happens that the place is a blind spot for Monitoring, so I thought I'd give a Warning!"

"I posted corresponding Warnings downstairs at the Company and by the takeout table, letting the other party be careful, but unfortunately, they didn't seem to care at all."

"So I could only take measures; no Monitoring is fine, I set up three cameras on the second floor, high-definition lenses!"

"Not for anything else, I just wanted to see the look on that guy who steals takeout when he gets taken in, crying and sniveling……"

Having said this, the footage in the video had already reached the part about the takeout theft.

"Speaking of this, I want to tell everyone, if you encounter an incident where your takeout is stolen, don't think about putting things inside it or anything like that."

"Of course, if you want to put things like super-hot chili in it, that's fine too, but you have to come up with a corresponding reason for it."

"And you absolutely must not admit that you knew someone would take it and that you intended to do so!"

"I'm telling you, if you don't admit it and act as if you didn't know, nothing will happen, but if you admit it, then you're done for, remember that!"

……

"The person has already been caught; I originally thought the other party would hire a Lawyer, but I just didn't expect that this time the other party's Lawyer would be our old acquaintance……"

Title: Stole takeout and still won't admit it? Sent straight inside! (Part 1)

Done, click upload!

I don't know if it's because of the reason last time when Manager Chen told him to sign an exclusive contract and he didn't, but Zhou Yi had a feeling that the traffic on his videos seemed to have dropped a bit.

It wasn't very obvious, but he could feel it.

But that's okay, his videos are hardcore and he has many fans; many people will come to watch as soon as they see an update.

I hope it's not just my imagination.

Lincheng, at her own doorstep, Guan Yan was staring blankly at the empty space at the entrance, holy crap, my takeout is gone again?

This was the third time she had lost her takeout this month!

And she had a rough guess that it was probably stolen by a neighbor in her building, and there was a high probability it was some kid who stole it.

But unfortunately, there was no evidence.

It was truly annoying to the extreme; Guan Yan returned home and prepared to continue ordering takeout, so you want to steal, fine, wait until later and I'll put laxatives in it.

What, where would I get laxatives?

Don't worry about that, can't a little fairy be constipated?

As a result, she took out her phone and found a notification: Grandpa, the Up Master you follow has finally updated.

A Yi updated?

Guan Yan hesitated for a moment, but decided to finish watching the video before seeking revenge.

As it happened, the moment she clicked it and saw the title, Guan Yan froze.

"Stealing takeout? Holy crap, is it such a coincidence? Or is there some fate between me and Zhou Yi? Hehe……"

Miss Guan giggled, and for a moment, it seemed like all the negative emotions brought on by having her takeout stolen were gone.

This is actually normal; we all have negative emotions in our daily lives, and work, study, life, and family all bring us negative emotions everywhere.

Why do we need to scroll through videos and read novels, if not for that moment of happiness?

And yet, reading a novel still gives you high blood pressure, what are you supposed to do about that!

Unable to wait, she clicked on the video, and various bullet comments had already appeared inside.

"Stealing takeout, this happens a lot now, prosecute them!"

"This kind of person really has a bad habit; if you can't afford to eat, just say so!"

Looking at these comments, Guan Yan also wanted to say that some people are truly sick; she didn't even know why the other party did it, it was just a takeout order.

When they saw Zhou Yi set up three high-definition cameras, everyone was laughing; this was A Yi's style.

But when the person stealing the takeout appeared in the lens, some people started acting strange.

"Such a pretty young lady, just because she stole a takeout, she has to be taken away? Is there any justice left? Is there any law?"

As expected, all sorts of retorts directed at them came pouring in.

"Have you ever heard of the Axe Gang?"

This seemed like a normal reaction; after all, that girl was indeed quite good-looking, it was just a pity.

And as Guan Yan continued watching, she suddenly noticed something wrong.

Wait, you can't put things into the takeout?

This... I think I was just planning to do that.

But why? It's my own takeout; I should be able to add whatever I want to it.

Why is it that if someone else steals it and has a problem, it's still my responsibility?

Guan Yan couldn't understand; a thief stole my things and had a problem, and then I have to be responsible for compensation?

This makes no sense. Then, seeing the rest, Guan Yan started to summarize: so, it means I just have to be unaware?

As long as I'm unaware, it's fine?

But listening to A Yi, it seems there are categories; like in some situations, even if you are unaware, you still need to bear responsibility.

But how exactly should one do it?

That son-of-a-bitch A Yi didn't say, and started talking about the aftermath instead, even saying that the other party's Lawyer was actually an old acquaintance.

And then... that's it?

It just ends here? A Yi, you'll really get beaten to death for cutting the video like this, okay? Can't you just say who that Lawyer is?

Also, under what circumstances, and what can be done to prevent this kind of thing from happening?

Guan Yan hurried to the comment section; as expected, it had already been occupied by all sorts of remarks.

Everyone expressed one after another that A Yi's video cut was too damn annoying!

Of course, there were also those with the same thoughts as Guan Yan, hoping A Yi would do a legal education segment to explain the situation clearly.

Otherwise, if your own things are stolen for no reason, and the other party ends up having a problem, you end up taking the blame for nothing.

No one wants to encounter this kind of thing.

So Guan Yan wrote a comment as fast as she could.

"Brother A Yi, please do a legal education segment, Yingying ying..."

Ugh, after writing it, she looked at it herself and almost threw up her dinner from the night before.

Right, A Yi said in the video that as long as you catch the other party stealing takeout three times, it's Theft?

If that's the case... I must learn this for next time!

Making up for the missed update, it is now 48,000 words. Thanks to Brother Feiyu for the tip, thank you. Because I was afraid of affecting everyone's reading, I released two chapters in a row; it's a bit late, sorry.
