Chapter 232: Can we have more of this insane behavior?

"This video is a bit long this time, because too many things have happened during this period."

"A lawsuit was filed, and the travel agency found a Lawyer to contact us for Mediation..."

Accompanied by this audio, the footage appearing in the video was the scene of the mediation between the two parties at the travel agency back then. Unsurprisingly, before the court session had even begun, Fang Dazhuang had already secured his first kill.

"To be honest, I really didn't know that the opposing Lawyer was an imposter. I can't believe someone would still do something like that these days, but unfortunately, he ran into Fang Dazhuang. Still, it's only ten days of Detention, no big deal."

Come to think of it, Lao Huang is truly miserable; he didn't make any money, and he ended up both detained and fined.

"And then, there's that Small Essay. To be honest, I was a bit surprised when I saw that article. Can you believe that even now, there are still people on the internet who dare to write a Small Essay about me?"

"But after reading the article, I found it quite interesting. That exaggeration—while art should be higher than life, it shouldn't be *that* high, right?"

"Things like 'not daring to take action against the Ground Handling Agency,' 'how miserable the boss is,' and even people in the comments saying that if I don't dare to take action against the industry, then I'm such-and-such. Honestly, I'm a very peaceful person."

"So I really, really don't dare to do anything. I'm just an ordinary Up Master who worked hard to get where I am today, so I just gave the Company's Employees a little perk."

Yes, everyone, please don't misunderstand. I am simply giving out perks, and I absolutely have no other intentions. If you spread rumors, be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!

"Maybe it was a coincidence, who knows. Anyway, the travel agencies chosen by the hundred-plus people in the Company were all different, but everyone was on a Pure Play Tour, though of course, there were also quality tours and the like."

"But the results were a bit beyond my expectations."

At this point, the video content had reached the fixed video evidence from the Employees. Everywhere that needed a Mosaic had one applied, and a few of the most typical examples were selected.

"I thought that current Pure Play Tours should be completely free of any shopping, but I didn't expect that even under the banner of a Pure Play Tour, we would still end up in shops!"

"Some travel agencies even treat places like jade shops as tourist attractions!"

Seriously, Zhou Yi was stunned when he saw it back then. You can play it like that?

We are a Pure Play Tour, and the jade shop is a tourist attraction; we didn't force you to shop, so there's no problem.

This sounds like there's no problem. In the situations Zhou Yi's Employees encountered this time, some were exactly like that. They really didn't force you to shop; you could buy or not buy, it didn't matter.

However, those shops were places you absolutely had to visit...

For example, if this shop required a two-hour visit, you had to stay there for the full two hours. Some allowed you to rest on the bus, while others didn't—you had to get off. You could do whatever you wanted, but those two hours, not a single minute could be missing.

See? There was no coercion whatsoever.

Of course, there were still some tour guides being passive-aggressive, as there were so many people, after all.

"Does everyone have any thoughts after seeing this? Are these travel agencies selling dog meat while hanging up a sheep's head? So, our Employees directly reported these behaviors!"

The Market Supervision Bureau and Tourism Bureau in Jingzhou City, as well as the relevant departments in Hannan Province.

These are all everyone's personal thoughts; he, Zhou Yi, never said anything.

"Of course, it seems some people chose to file a Lawsuit, but I don't know about that. These are all spontaneous actions by everyone. As their boss, I couldn't possibly hold them back from going to court, right?"

"And then there's my own Lawsuit. The First Instance verdict for my case has already come down. Honestly, that opposing Lawyer was a real Lawyer this time, and he had some skills."

The Stick Figure Animation was used here. Zhou Yi dubbed it by imitating the voice of that Lawyer Huo from back then, and then came the verdict.

"As for the result, the judge supported all of our claims, though they said they would Appeal."

Just one sentence, no need to say more. Those who know, know what this sentence implies.

After saying a few more digressions, the whole video was finally finished. This time, it was all a coincidence; I just wanted to give everyone some perks, and everyone just wanted to seek Legal Aid.

Done. Looked it over carefully from start to finish, no problems. Click upload.

The event progress has reached 83%, and now it's just a matter of waiting for it to ferment.

This video was a bit long, and the review time was also a bit long, but it passed the review after twenty minutes. Almost in a very short time, a group of audience members who treat 'b' as their home clicked in.

"Is there more below? Routine request for updates, this one is so long!"

A twenty-three-minute video is really much longer compared to Zhou Yi's previous videos.

And so, in a very short time, the comment section directly became a bit different.

Topics like "You're so long you almost satisfied me" and "It's long, but I don't know if it can go deep" and other inexplicable topics directly sparked heat.

As a result, when everyone saw Lao Huang being taken away, they couldn't hold it together anymore.

"??? Is Fang Dazhuang already like this now? The court session hasn't even started yet, hey!"

It's truly absurd. In the past, at the very least, problems were discovered after the court session began, but now he can send people away during the private mediation stage.

Damn, that's amazing!

As they continued watching, they discovered that Fang Dazhuang's first kill was only the first kill; A Yi is already looking a bit insane now!

"Feng Qingyue": Holy crap, there's still a company like this these days? In Jingzhou, right? I want to join too!

"Dalao Qiu Ge": +1. A boss like A Yi, really, I'm crying. I can't even tell if he's doing it to give out perks or to be a stickler for the rules.

"Namo Gatling Bodhisattva": Envious and jealous. Paid leave, and you can even bring family... I want to go ask our boss right now!

"Guan Guan Ju Jiu": Don't go, your boss could take you out in one hit!

Although everyone knew about the previous courier industry incident and knew that A Yi often pulls some wild stunts, they didn't expect it to be *this* wild!

Giving out perks while being a stickler for the rules—that's spot on. No need to think about it, after this perk, the Employees throughout the Company will be truly devoted to him as their boss.

Ask yourself, how would you feel about a boss who gives you seven days of paid leave for no reason and even pays for you to go have fun?

It's just that while everyone is envious, they want to know one thing even more: what kind of storm will this incident cause?

These reports from the Employees aren't actually that many, and they are scattered across so many travel agencies.

But when this incident appears in this form, the situation is different.

Group travel itself has long been criticized; otherwise, why don't the younger generation like group travel now? Everyone would rather go out on their own—it's tiring, but it's fun.

You go out to have fun. Even if it's a low-price tour, honestly, shopping is fine, but you can't be shopping all the time!

In the past, those who sold wine—it was fine to have water in the wine, but you can't have wine in the water!

Especially those who, or whose families, have been scammed by tour groups—they really feel like they have countless things to say.

You clearly spent money to go out and have fun, but because you bought too little, you were mocked in all sorts of ways, asking why you even came out if you had no money.

Now that they see a video like this, they are truly using all their strength to increase the heat and perform all kinds of reposts.

And so, after a few hours of fermentation, this video by Zhou Mouren broke out of its circle.

Many platforms' trending lists are talking about this matter; over a hundred people went out on a Pure Play Tour, but as it turned out, several dozen encountered "non-forced shopping" incidents.

There were also some who encountered "self-funded attractions."

Honestly, the traps in some places nowadays are impossible to guard against; for example, the relevant materials provided by the Travel Agency after signing the Agency Contract contain a schedule of where you will go each day.

And can you imagine that for a certain attraction, there would be a provision for a "distant view attraction"?

Not many people would think of this point, right? When they say distant view, it is truly a distant view!

Consequently, after the video went viral, unsurprisingly, it sparked a lot of discussion.

"Why are there so many traps in travel?"

This is what many people don't understand—why some places are so unscrupulous; don't they realize that doing this is just a one-off deal, and people won't come back once they've been there?

Yes, why indeed? On one hand, they only want to make money; on the other hand, they think that since this group of people won't come back again anyway, they might as well earn enough in one go.

But they never think about how important reputation is in the internet age.

Once your reputation is ruined, you will have to pay a hundredfold effort to pick it back up later.

Honestly, there are just too many people these days who have stepped into traps while traveling, and in this atmosphere, everyone is talking about the traps they have encountered.

The resulting consequence is that the topic's heat is getting higher and higher!

Of course, there is another group of people who are envious, wondering when their own boss will be able to be like this.

Time has already reached the second day; inside Xingtianxia Travel Agency, General Manager Zhao is now completely numb.

He is hesitating whether he should stop doing this line of work, otherwise he worries that one day a peer will come over and stab him twice.

He originally thought the problem wasn't big and that this matter would just pass, but who could have imagined that this Zhou Yi would actually do this!

Fine, I admit he seems to have a bit of a sickness, but, but what are you trying to achieve by doing this?

I was just playing the victim, why did you refuse to let it go? This is going to directly trigger a massive earthquake in the tourism industry!

General Manager Zhao does not believe that those above will ignore such a public opinion storm.

In fact, he is very clear that for the chaos in the tourism industry, relevant departments have been rectifying it for the past few years; there are results, of course, but there is a policy from above and a countermeasure from below, and there are too many ways to circumvent it down here.

As a result, this time, it has all been exposed...

His phone was tossed to the side; ever since that video came out, his phone has been blown up.

Many friends are asking him, if you want to have a Lawsuit, just have a Lawsuit, why talk nonsense on the internet?

At this point, it is too late for him to deny it; no one is a fool, and the Court still requires evidence, but in the actual situation, who wrote it—isn't that as obvious as a louse on a bald head?

What to do now? The public opinion storm has already been triggered, and he just agreed to let Huo Pengfei file an Appeal on his side...

Whether to Appeal or not is certainly not decided by the Lawyer; it all depends on the client.

Because for the Second Instance, one must re-sign an Agency Contract and pay the Lawyer Fee again.

He really didn't expect there to be such a person, acting just like he's sick; I was just playing the victim!

But now, no matter what is said, it is too late; as mentioned before, the judiciary cannot be influenced by anything, but as for other things, it is hard to say.

When so many people complain at the same time that the tourism industry has False Propaganda and has this or that kind of trap, then guess what will happen—rectification, a large-scale rectification!

Because it involves False Propaganda, the Market Supervision Department must step in; likewise, the tourism industry's biological father, the Tourism Bureau, must also step in.

And so, just like the courier industry, major travel Companies suddenly discovered that they seemed to have gained another father.

Although this father has actually always been there, he can be called a godfather.

Things the tourism department cannot manage, the Market Supervision Department can certainly manage!

And so now, General Manager Zhao has seen the response from the relevant departments.

The Market Supervision Department and the tourism department of Handong Province have already started joint law enforcement to carry out a thorough rectification and strictly investigate such False Propaganda behaviors that hang the sign of a Pure Play Tour but still require shopping.

Likewise, the other protagonist of this incident, Hannan Province, has also started joint law enforcement!

The local Travel Agencies, which are the Ground Handling Agencies, as well as the tour guides, were directly rectified.

Actually, speaking of it, the existence of tour guides is very aggrieved, because like couriers, they are at the very bottom of the entire industry.

That tour guide scolding incident that was very popular before—why did she say that? Because such tour guides have no salary; their income depends entirely on commissions!

Ridiculous, right? These days, even for sales, there would be a corresponding base salary; although small, it definitely exists.

But the profession of a tour guide, which is not originally a sales job, can blatantly do such things.

So everyone feels aggrieved; the tour guide is aggrieved because they can't make money, and the tourist is also full of grievances because they spent money to come and play but were scolded.

Guess who the big winner is in this.

The moment he saw this news, General Manager Zhao made a choice: apologize, pay the money, and execute the First Instance judgment.

Why continue the Lawsuit? Just pay the compensation and be done with it.

If this continues, God knows what that Zhou Yi will do.

No, hurry up and call Lawyer Huo and tell him not to proceed with the Lawsuit.

At this very moment, inside the Law Firm, Huo Pengfei is carefully studying the case files.

Although it is said that if there is no new evidence, in many cases the Second Instance will uphold the original judgment, he feels he can still make an effort.

It is just that the situation of the First Instance is frustrating; he worked so hard for so long and prepared for so long, but there was no gain at all.

Originally, during Mediation, the other party said they could remove the fraction at their discretion and wanted forty thousand yuan.

This is what General Manager Zhao told him before; he even told General Manager Zhao at the time that this was absolutely impossible, forty thousand was too much, the refund of the tour fee was probably necessary, but how much compensation to pay was another matter.

So after all his operations and all his efforts, the result was Return One Compensate Three plus Mental Damage Compensation, adding up to over forty-three thousand, not a single cent less...

This made Huo Pengfei, who wants to become a great Lawyer, almost have his Dao heart collapse.

Fortunately, General Manager Zhao supported him and said he must Appeal!

So after he came back, he blocked out the outside news; he wants to work hard, work even harder. Teacher Fang, you are indeed my idol, but I also truly want to defeat you!

And... maybe he can still find new evidence.

As it turned out, just at this moment, his phone rang; he picked it up and saw it was General Manager Zhao.

This afternoon's thirst-quenching chapter, thanks to Feimaowuyu, Lord Deshan, Fengxinyoumi, Wen Chi, yao, Shuhuangjuzi, and naihe; thank you to these few brothers for the tips, thank you.
