Chapter 225: This Wave of Advantage is Truly Mine!

Truly, Lawyer Fang is just such a "simple" man.

He really isn't doing it for those empty titles.

Unlike those male celebrities in the entertainment industry who are praised by various big shots as being as pure as a blank sheet of paper, having never seen such a pure boy before.

Only to turn around and end up inside singing Iron Window Tears.

The staff member inside heard this and laughed: "Lawyer Fang, actually, personally speaking, I don't believe that the provisions of Article 996 of the Civil Code can be claimed simultaneously with breach of contract compensation."

"I believe that there must be a concurrence of Tort Liability and Breach of Contract Liability before one can claim Mental Damage Compensation; at the very least, there must be an act of personality rights infringement."

Lawyer Fang nodded and said: "I understand what you mean; this point is indeed worth discussing."

Regarding whether Mental Damage Compensation should be claimed for Breach of Contract Liability, there was actually a lot of debate in the legal community before the new Civil Code was promulgated.

And among them, the one that bears the brunt is the Travel Contract!

What is the nature of a Travel Contract is itself controversial; of course, many people accept that it is a mixed-type contract.

Why is a Travel Contract relatively special? The reason is very simple: why do you go traveling?

You spend so much money and travel so far; what are you after?

Are you after being squeezed in crowds? Or are you after deathly expensive air tickets and hotels?

Normally, you should be after your own happiness, which is, in a certain sense, mental enjoyment.

Therefore, when all kinds of problems arise during travel, you will feel very angry because you feel like a big sucker, spending money to buy unhappiness.

Thus, you originally went for mental enjoyment, but ended up getting so angry; in this situation, can one claim Mental Damage Compensation?

This is a problem that has always existed in the past.

So, after the Civil Code had new provisions, many people believed that, at the very least regarding travel issues, one can claim Mental Damage Compensation due to a breach of contract.

Of course, Lawyer Fang's view is another kind, which is that it must constitute damage to personality rights—that is, there must be a concurrence of Tort and Breach of Contract before one can claim Mental Damage Compensation.

Moreover, this article itself belongs to the chapter on personality rights in the Civil Code.

That is why he felt he had met a noble person when he saw the video of the tour guide scolding Zhou Yi's parents.

The tour guide's act of insulting tourists is itself a concurrence of Breach of Contract Liability and Tort Liability.

Scolding people is, of course, an infringement of personality rights; there is no problem with that.

As for whether it is serious damage, the person's parents were scolded into depression, okay? Is this not serious?

The two sides discussed it back and forth, and the lawyers queuing behind who also intended to file a case saw this and started chatting as well.

However, everyone soon realized it wouldn't do, as there were still many others waiting to file cases.

The staff member finished the review and gave the Case Filing Notice to Lawyer Fang.

Everyone knows that Lawyer Fang's material review basically has no problems; in this regard, he is a man more meticulous than the Court staff.

The case was filed, and Lawyer Fang sent the Case Filing Notice to Zhou Yi as usual.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yi had returned to the Small Residential District with his parents.

"Xiao Yi, look, why don't you go on a blind date? That person..."

Before the words were even finished, they heard a crisp voice from ahead.

"Big Brother Zhou, long time no see!"

Eh, Mother Zhou's eyes flickered, and she immediately saw a pretty girl standing in front, wearing a pleated skirt, her face full of collagen.

"Xiao Xu, it has been a long time. Are you... going out?"

The one in front was none other than Miss Xiao Xu, who was smiling there at the moment.

"Yes, I'm going out. Are these Uncle and Auntie?"

While asking the question, she had already come up and said: "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."

"Eh, hello, hello. Xiao Yi, this is..." Mother Zhou asked hurriedly.

"This is a neighbor from our Small Residential District, someone I knew before," Zhou Yi said quickly.

Miss Xiao Xu curled her lips; what neighbor? Would it kill him to call her a friend!

"Oh, a neighbor. Neighbors are good, neighbors are good..."

Seeing that Mother Zhou seemed ready to ask questions, Zhou Yi said quickly: "Well, I have things to do back home, I'm leaving, Mom!"

Back home, before Mother Zhou could ask questions, Lawyer Fang happened to send over the Case Filing Notice, so Zhou Yi said he had to make a video.

He then hurriedly hid back in his bedroom.

Only Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were left in the living room, looking at each other.

After a long while, Mother Zhou said with a worried face: "Sigh, his father, don't you think this just makes him even more hesitant?"

Father Zhou sat on the sofa without speaking; nothing was even set in stone yet, and every time he saw a girl, she wanted to make their son find one...

Zhou Yi naturally didn't care about these things; he wasn't lying, he had indeed started preparing to make the video.

Of course, the main work still had to be completed by the Self-Media Studio; on the way back, he had already sent all the relevant materials over.

This time, just like before, as long as it involved exposing real-world information, it would all be made into Stick Figure Animation.

The boss gave the notice, and the Self-Media Studio started working overtime; a few hours later, by evening, it was all completed.

The video was sent over, Zhou Yi reviewed it, and then started dubbing.

"Hello, dear audience lords, I am your old friend A Yi. This video is mainly about Travel Agency issues."

"It's not like before; my parents signed up for a Travel Agency, and I was worried about problems, so I personally stepped in and even called Lawyer Zhou, just for fear of being scammed!"

Following this passage was the scene from when they went to the Xingtianxia Travel Agency; of course, it was all Stick Figure Animation.

The name and appearance of the Travel Agency were not leaked at all.

"I was afraid of being taken shopping, but in the end, we were still taken shopping."

"Not only that, for a Pure Play Tour that cost so much money, we were even mocked by the tour guide, saying if we didn't have money, don't come traveling."

"Everyone knows my temper; this definitely couldn't be tolerated. When my parents came back, I went to negotiate with them, demanding compensation. Unfortunately, they said it wasn't them I should be looking for, but that Ground Handling Agency."

"But our contract was signed with them, so why should we have to go to the Ground Handling Agency? That's why, when communication yielded no results, I chose to file a lawsuit directly."

"Another simple and unadorned lawsuit. Originally, there was no need for Lawyer Fang, but he was very interested in this case, so I let him take the lead!"

"Here is the Case Filing Notice and the Indictment."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yi wrote down the title:

"A Pure Play Tour by a Travel Agency that still includes shopping? Let's arrange it! (Part 1)"

After finishing, he checked it carefully; there were no omissions. This time, the stick figure animation took up a larger proportion.

After all, most of it was audio recordings, except for the video footage from the tour guide.

The relevant parts for the Travel Agency were also all stick figure animations.

Done, click upload!

While waiting for the review, Zhou Yi started reading the news. To be honest, he had always thought the things he encountered were outrageous, but he hadn't expected that things in real life could be even more outrageous.

Just look, a piece of news quickly caught his attention: someone worked at a company, and after working for a month, they ended up owing the company money. Can you believe this?

This damn thing makes me suddenly feel like Director Wang is a good person; at the very least, under him, it's impossible to end up owing the company money.

This damn thing—even those who deserve to be hung from a lamppost wouldn't dare do this!

I can only say that if I encountered this kind of thing and made it into a video, I would definitely be torn to shreds by the audience.

You damn thing, you are forcing a drop in intelligence, you know that? Where in reality is there such a company!

Watching this news makes one's blood pressure rise.

Since he was idle with nothing to do, Zhou Yi opened his university classmate group chat. He had muted the group ever since he graduated.

It wasn't that his relationship with his classmates was bad, but those he had good relationships with would contact him privately.

Moreover, the classmates in his class and dormitory were scattered all over the country; at graduation, everyone said their friendship would last forever, but once they graduated, they went their separate ways.

It's hard to say how many times they'll meet in the rest of their lives.

Many people talk about class reunions, but in reality, those with good relationships will gather on their own without being told, and for those with bad relationships, what's the point of gathering?

The rich want to Pretend to be Cool, and the poor can only watch them Pretend to be Cool. In short, there really is no need.

This was the first time he had clicked into it since graduation.

It's strange to say, but ever since he got the system, it feels like a long time has passed; he moved from a rented room into a Small Residential District.

He defeated the bad neighbors and the Property Management, and settled the video theft and Internet Violence, but in reality, only half a year has passed.

As a result, after entering, he found that everyone didn't say much; sometimes someone would just post some links.

Unsurprisingly, Zhou Yi saw the shadow of Pinduoduo again.

In the past, he thought only his parents would play with this thing, but now that he saw these links, he realized that many of his classmates were playing it too.

Other than that, there was no other news. The once-lively classmate group was now silent.

This is probably what growing up is.

On the other side, Zhou Yi's video had already passed the review. To be honest, for this episode of the video, some people felt their blood pressure rising again!

"Yuan Jie": This is exactly the flavor, so right. I went out to travel before and it was the same, but I went abroad. That tour guide also said if you don't have money, don't come to travel. It almost pissed me off!

"Zixing Yao Yue": It's their responsibility, no need to say more. Sue them, sue them until they are convinced!

"Feng Qingyue": I think on one hand we must sue, and on the other hand, we must go to the Tourism Bureau to file a complaint. Use both methods simultaneously!

However, there were also some people who didn't feel much.

This kind of thing belongs to the category where you only truly empathize when you encounter it yourself.

Only then can you understand what it feels like to be dragged around shopping non-stop, so they felt it was a bit dull.

Zhou Yi naturally saw these comments. He knew why everyone felt it was dull, because with Lawyer Fang around, every one of his Legal Aid efforts was a bit too easy.

He only needed to collect evidence according to the requirements, pay the money, and then Lawyer Fang could solve all the problems!

Looking at it this way, he was truly a tool person.

It's just that he didn't know how to make changes yet; Zhou Yi was thinking hard.

Thinking time is always long, and a few days flashed by.

Inside Xingtianxia Travel Agency, Zhou Xiaoxiao was sitting inside, chatting with clients on her phone while chatting with Li Qing next to her.

"Hey, this time is the peak season, why are there so few people traveling this year?" Li Qing complained from the side.

They were actually just sales staff; no tour groups meant no income.

Zhou Xiaoxiao shook her head and said: "Who knows? Hey, do you know? The low-price tours to Hannan Province have now reached the level of over eight hundred. It's truly crazy!"

This level of low-price tours made even those in the industry feel terrified; it had reached the point of using unscrupulous means.

This kind of low-price tour is the favorite of those middle-aged women. They might only go once in their lives, so if they don't get ripped off hard, they wouldn't be doing themselves justice.

Although the Tourism Bureau has repeatedly ordered that shopping cannot be bundled, in this day and age, everyone does it. If you don't do it, how can you make money?

Everyone wants to make money properly, but the hand of the market doesn't care about your thoughts. Like a fierce beast, it urges all practitioners to run forward wildly.

The two sighed; it's hard for everyone now. It can be said that this is a problem for the entire industry.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

The two turned their heads to look; it was a man wearing a police uniform.

"Hey, hello comrade, you are..."

Zhou Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward to open the door and said.

The person outside the door was naturally the court police officer from the Guangming District Court. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Hello, I am a staff member of the Guangming District Court. I am here to serve documents to your company. Here is the Copy of the Complaint, and here is the Summons."

What, a Summons? Our company has been sued?

Zhou Xiaoxiao took the Copy of the Complaint and the Summons and looked at the name. It was very familiar; isn't this that family from before!

She knew that the other party had come here to make a scene, but she didn't expect that this family hadn't gone to the Tourism Bureau, but had chosen to file a lawsuit for compensation directly!

Although they were in a daze, the two hurriedly notified the boss of the Travel Agency, and soon, the boss rushed over.

Looking at the Copy of the Complaint, he was also a bit slow to react.

"He actually filed a Lawsuit for Return One Compensate Three, and he also wants Mental Damage Compensation? Is this person sick? How much money did he spend, and how much is he planning to get!"

After signing the receipt, the bailiff left, and the boss sat on a nearby stool and began to sigh.

"What's going on, you guys, did he say anything before, how did he suddenly file a Lawsuit!" the boss asked.

Li Qing hesitated for a moment, then recounted what had happened before; he had indeed asked the Manager, and the Manager said it was nothing.

"So what do we do now, boss?"

"This Lao Zhu, what kind of thing has he done, what to do, hire a Lawyer, respond to the Lawsuit, Return One Compensate Three plus Mental Damage Compensation, that's over forty thousand!"

Honestly, they had never seen a player who didn't play by the rules like this before.

Everyone else is stabbing around with little daggers, and you end up dropping a nuke on us!

Hearing these words, Li Qing and Zhou Xiaoxiao could only sigh.

The boss went inside, saying he wanted to think of a way and contact a friend who understood the law to ask about the situation.

Outside, Li Qing took out his phone, preparing to scroll through some videos for a while.

He flipped through them casually, and because he usually liked watching travel-related videos, the Big Data recommendations were all of that nature.

And so, Li Qing soon scrolled to a video.

"Pure Play Tour shopping... arrangements."

For some reason, he was particularly sensitive to this now, so he quickly clicked to watch it; wait, why does the content in this video look a bit familiar?

This seems to be talking about our Travel Agency!

…………

In the room, the boss had already dialed his Lawyer friend's phone number.

"Return One Compensate Three plus Mental Damage Compensation? Manager Zhao, the other party has some skills, but Mental Damage Compensation shouldn't be supported."

"As for the Return One Compensate Three, I don't know what evidence they have yet, so it's hard to say for now."

The boss, called Manager Zhao, also said helplessly: "The Mental Damage Compensation isn't actually asking for much, just a few thousand, the main thing is the Return One Compensate Three."

Whether it is Return One Compensate Three depends on whether it meets the criteria for consumer fraud under the Consumer Rights Protection Law.

However, even though they were being sued, Manager Zhao naturally still wanted to prioritize Mediation, and his Lawyer friend on the other end had the same idea.

Just at this moment, a sound came from outside the door.

"Boss, boss, look at this video, this video seems to be talking about us!"

Hearing this, Manager Zhao walked out and saw Li Qing handing over his phone like he was presenting a treasure; looking at the content, eh, it does look a bit similar.

It was only a bit similar, though; in fact, if Li Qing hadn't been a participant, it would have been impossible for him to see that this was related to their Xingtianxia Travel Agency.

And since it could have this content, it meant the other party must be from that family of three from before, and it was very likely that son!

Manager Zhao quickly told his Lawyer friend about the video content, and the Lawyer friend laughed as soon as he heard it.

"Alright, Manager Zhao, if I wasn't sure before, I'm very sure now!"

"If it's really as you said, that the other party is an internet celebrity and actually dared to film a video, this clearly constitutes an Infringement of Reputation Rights against your Company!"

"First, find out clearly if the person who filmed this video is the one who came to your shop before."

"If so, we can contact the other party to meet, conduct Mediation, and tell them that if they don't mediate, we will file a Lawsuit against them for Infringement of Reputation Rights!"

"And since the other party is an internet celebrity and is asking for money so ruthlessly, we can also contact reporters to expose them; there are plenty of ways, and this matter wasn't your Company's fault to begin with. The other party is hounding you and demanding so much money, which is a bit excessive!"

Listening to his Lawyer friend's words, Manager Zhao suddenly felt steady; our side has two methods, the other side only has one, the advantage is with me!

Updated too late, sorry to ask for votes, just give what you feel like.

Thanks to Huanshi Mo, Yinuo Qingcheng, Wen Chi, and Book Friend 2021 for the tips, thank you. Opened Qidian and found I was bombarded by a Golden Alliance Leader, so terrifying!
