Chapter 233: Do you know that I have so many regrets and so many concerns?

Why would President Zhao be looking for me at this time? Could it be that the new evidence I asked President Zhao to find has been located?

Why did I lose the lawsuit before? The evidence from that third-party platform was absolutely fatal!

He needed some new evidence to launch a counterattack, so he told President Zhao his thoughts and asked President Zhao to help.

Answering the phone, Huo Pengfei smiled and said, "Hello, President Zhao."

"What? You want me to withdraw the lawsuit? Accept the result of the First Instance?"

The voice coming from the phone made Huo Pengfei almost collapse on the spot.

What is going on? I had just started preparing again; how could you change your mind so quickly? You only decided this yesterday, and today you've changed your mind—what about all the time I spent preparing?

"No, President Zhao, what is going on? Why did you change your mind? I've already started preparing again!"

"You don't know what's going on? Don't you go online? Things are like this now, and you think I still dare to pursue a lawsuit? It'll be good enough if I can just save myself!"

As for the internet, it's only been a day and a night; could something have happened again?

But President Zhao, there's no need to be this scared, right?

"But President Zhao, we have already signed the contract for the Second Instance. If you suddenly change your mind like this, then I must tell you that you are in Breach of Contract, and I will not refund the Lawyer Fee for the Second Instance."

He said this deliberately; it was indeed stipulated in the contract that if the client unilaterally commits a Breach of Contract for their own reasons, the Lawyer Fee is non-refundable.

"Whatever, whatever, don't refund it then. That's it; remember, withdraw the lawsuit and follow the First Instance verdict."

*Snap! * The call ended, leaving Huo Pengfei alone in a daze.

What is a bolt from the blue? This is a bolt from the blue!

Inexplicably, a line came to Huo Pengfei's mind: "We ministers were just about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first..."

Why is this happening? I just want to have a lawsuit with Teacher Fang; is that really so difficult?

However, despite his reluctance, once the client has decided to withdraw the lawsuit and execute the verdict, there is naturally nothing more for him, the agent, to say.

Although he made money, this feeling is worse than not making any at all!

With so many regrets and so many concerns of mine, do you know?

And if you really want to know what that feels like, I suggest you ask Lawyer Zhou Xinran; she is more familiar with it.

No, Huo Pengfei decided to see what exactly had happened first; even if he were to die, he had to die knowing the reason, right?

As it turned out, before he could even search after opening his phone, he had already seen the news.

A video?

That person named Zhou Yi is an Up Master; Huo Pengfei knew this. He had only watched the beginning of the other party's previous video about topping up one million, but he hadn't watched the rest.

After all, he had his own affairs and no time to specifically watch these.

As a result, he followed the link and saw this new episode of the video.

After watching for more than twenty minutes, Huo Pengfei was a bit dazed.

Then, feeling it wasn't enough, he went back to catch up on the previous ones.

Once he started catching up, he watched until the world went dark!

By the end, Huo Pengfei had only one thought in his heart: Good heavens, to think there is such a remarkable man in this world; he is simply the best soulmate a lawyer could dream of!

He has money, is a well-known internet celebrity, and has his own Company.

More importantly, when such a person encounters problems, he actually loves taking the legal route!

This statement is a bit contradictory, right? Logically speaking, using the legal route to solve problems should be normal.

But unfortunately, the current situation makes many people more keen on using non-legal means to solve things.

You say he is a well-known internet celebrity, yet he rarely uses the power of public opinion. Huo Pengfei could see that every time the other party used the power of public opinion—for example, a Small Essay or Self-Media—

it was only then that he would use the power of public opinion as an auxiliary.

Right, the means of public opinion are only auxiliary; the main thing is still the legal route!

Actually, that would be fine; he just loves to sue.

But the key is that this person is so supportive of those seemingly whimsical ideas of Teacher Fang!

Stealing videos, going through so much trouble, traveling to many cities to collect evidence, filing a Lawsuit, and putting in so much time and cost for Legal Aid—the final result is completely disproportionate to the effort.

Under normal circumstances, no one would do such a thing.

Huo Pengfei believes that Teacher Fang was also joking when proposing such ideas; there are too many similar ones, like the courier incident and the Internet Violence incident.

Yet this person surnamed Zhou actually carried out the Legal Aid without any compromise!

In Huo Pengfei's view, rather than saying this is his own Legal Aid, it is more like he is doing it to make Teacher Fang happy.

No wonder the two have such a good relationship; if he, Huo Pengfei, knew the other party, he believes he would also become good friends with him—the kind of brothers from different fathers and mothers!

Looking at it this way, his loss was not unjust; this client is simply not on the same level...

He could only choose to withdraw the lawsuit.

Inexplicably, Huo Pengfei had an idea: in the future, he could get closer to this President Zhou.

What lawyer wouldn't like a friend like this!

At home, Zhou Yi was very happy because many of his audience lords were telling him that he did a beautiful job this time!

There are too many chaotic phenomena in the tourism industry, but unfortunately, it is indeed difficult to regulate.

One can only say that one should deal with them as they are discovered.

Just like the courier industry, if you file a complaint, it will indeed be handled, but the phenomenon still exists.

However, under joint law enforcement, although the results have not yet been announced, just the fact that investigations have begun has already left major Travel Agencies wailing in despair.

A biological father is your biological father, but a godfather can be the godfather to many people.

In fact, both Zhou Yi and President Zhao do not know that the state has long intended to rectify the chaotic phenomena in the tourism industry.

The matter of shopping tour groups clearly cannot be solved just by saying it is prohibited by regulation.

Just like couriers, some people choose to pick up packages at a station; they don't want to expose their home addresses, and they don't need to guard the phone during working hours, which is very convenient.

But some people need to have the goods delivered to their door.

Since both types of demands exist, they should be handled according to everyone's individual circumstances.

The travel industry is the same; since shopping cannot be prohibited, it should be directly stipulated that it must be clearly informed that a tour at this price point is a shopping tour, and you will be taken to several shops when the time comes.

However, regarding the amount of money spent on shopping, there must absolutely be no coercion.

Forced buying and selling is absolutely prohibited!

A Pure Play Tour should look like a Pure Play Tour; keep the two types separate.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Zhou Yi's video is an excellent opportunity; the investigation is underway, and the rectification of the entire industry has also begun.

For a time, it could be said that the entire travel industry in Handong Province and Hannan Province was in a state of panic.

Naturally, everyone dared not complain about the "daddy" above them, so they could only complain about General Manager Zhao.

Anyway, no matter the situation, cursing General Manager Zhao is never wrong.

While Zhou Yi was feeling happy, he received a call from Fang Dazhuang.

"The other party wants to drop the lawsuit? And they said they will comply with the First Instance judgment? They are chickening out a bit fast; I thought they would at least finish the Second Instance and see it through to the end."

Fang Dazhuang on the other end laughed: "People aren't stupid. Under these circumstances, what consequences do you think he would face if he continued to fight this lawsuit?"

"Alright, since that's the case, just wait. By the way, are you sure you want your Employees to all file lawsuits?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi shook his head repeatedly: "Don't, Fang Dazhuang. We may be close, but don't slander me. That was all voluntary on everyone's part; I just found a law firm for everyone and negotiated a relatively low price."

Indeed, Zhou Yi did not push anything in this matter; everyone was voluntary.

Nonsense, how could they not be voluntary? If the boss doesn't say anything, can't you exercise your own subjective initiative?

If you don't even have that bit of insight, how are you going to survive in the workplace?

It is obvious that the boss wants to vent this anger and is targeting the Travel Agency, so since there is a precedent, everyone just follows suit and files a lawsuit. If they happen to win, they can even earn a sum of money.

Such lawsuits are actually not that easy, but Zhou Yi sent the method for securing evidence that Fang Dazhuang had organized to everyone from the very beginning.

From before signing the contract, to signing the contract, and then to the trip, there must be corresponding evidence to support it.

Consequently, so many people wanted to file lawsuits and all needed agents, so they sought out Zhou Yi through He Ling.

Everyone's excuse was that they were all busy with work, so they could only let General Manager Zhou help them find agents.

You tell me, where else can you find such trusting Employees and a boss?

"Fine, fine, fine. Slander or whatever, I've only learned a little bit of the ropes, so my firm will take this case."

"Fang Dazhuang, do you have that many Lawyers there?" Zhou Yi asked curiously.

"Who told you that one Lawyer can only take one case? The facts of these cases are mostly similar; finding a few people can completely solve them."

Finding a few people... Zhou Yi suddenly thought of something!

He saw a familiar account in the comment section again, and the key was that the reply was very interesting!

"Mengnan Zhou": Actually, this case doesn't even need Fang Dazhuang to step in; Lawyer Zhou could do it too.

What does this indicate? Zhou Cainiao is very confident now!

Since she likes this case, she might as well do a little more.

So Zhou Yi said in a very casual tone: "Hey Fang Dazhuang, since that's the case, why not just let Zhou Xinran do a bit more, or let her be solely responsible for these cases."

"Didn't she always say before that she lacked experience? If she does more of these cases, she will naturally gain experience, right?"

Thinking of Lawyer Zhou's dark circles, Zhou Mouren inexplicably felt a thrill, hehehe.

Fang Dazhuang on the other end was shocked upon hearing this.

"Zhou Yi, even capitalists wouldn't dare do this, right? Aren't you afraid she'll be exhausted? Xinran is our friend, you have to be more considerate!"

Zhou Mouren hadn't even reacted yet when he heard Fang Dazhuang's next sentence.

"I think doing ninety percent is about enough, no need to do it all; leave the rest to others."

*Cough cough*, Zhou Yi was almost choked by a mouthful of water. Fang Dazhuang, you call this being "considerate"?

Half an hour later, Zhou Xinran looked at Fang Dazhuang in front of the desk and said with surprise: "Teacher Fang, can these cases all be handed to me?"

"You can choose for yourself, Xinran. There are still a few people in our firm who are free now. If you feel you can't handle it, you can just take a portion," Fang Dazhuang laughed.

Jokes aside, this kind of thing still shouldn't be messed with.

It is true that people can die from overwork if they don't rest enough; in recent years, there have been too many young people who died from overwork in those big companies.

As a result, unexpectedly, Zhou Xinran in front of him nodded directly: "No problem, Teacher Fang, leave them all to me, I can do it."

"Are you really going to take them? So many cases, it's very mentally draining to organize them!"

Hearing this, Zhou Xinran had a trace of cunning on her face: "It's fine, Teacher Fang. You probably don't know yet, but a batch of Interns recently came to our firm; they are all juniors and seniors from Handong Political Science and Law, I can borrow them to help."

*Pfft! * A mouthful of water in Fang Dazhuang's mouth sprayed out directly.

"Cough cough, well, since that's the case, then go get busy."

Zhou Xinran walked out of the office and went to make arrangements. These cases sound like a lot, but in fact, most of them are just copying homework; Fang Dazhuang's case is right there, just remove the Mental Damage Compensation.

It's not difficult, mainly just trivial, requiring a bit of care, and requiring good health...

This part of the work can just be handed to the Interns; they understand the law, and they are serious, responsible, and not afraid of hardship or fatigue; they can be said to be the best "oxen and horses."

And when the time comes, it can even be euphemistically called: training!

Does it feel a bit familiar?

Zhou Xinran also thought of it; when she was an intern, she seemed to have been used as an "ox and horse" too. At the time, she even thought this behavior was too despicable.

As a result, she didn't expect that she would now like such behavior herself...

On the other side, after Zhou Xinran left the office, Fang Dazhuang looked around sneakily, confirmed that Zhou Xinran was no longer there, and then hurriedly dialed Zhou Yi's phone.

"Sigh, Zhou Yi, people really do change..."

"What the heck? Fang Dazhuang, what are you talking about?"

It was another sunny morning at the Court, where Zhou Yi met General Manager Zhao.

Now, General Manager Zhao apologized profusely the moment he saw Zhou Yi, wanting him to help put in a good word and say that the article had nothing to do with him, General Manager Zhao.

But he was directly refused by Zhou Yi.

"General Manager Zhao, didn't you say back then that you knew nothing about any article, so why do you want me to help you speak up now? If you didn't post it, what are you afraid of?"

General Manager Zhao opposite him was left speechless; this was exactly what he had said before.

The entire industry was having a hard time, and General Manager Zhao was in an even more difficult position; he even had thoughts of quitting the industry.

But what would he do after quitting? He had no experience in other industries, so he could only hold on.

Regret? He felt regret, but it was too late; although he hadn't gone inside like the others in Zhou Yi's videos, the current situation was more painful than being inside.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have just paid the money directly...

Zhou Yi turned and left; the Second Instance had been withdrawn, the compensation had been received, and after finishing the relevant matters at the Court, he was in a very good mood.

As a result, just as he was preparing to head out, he saw Li Xusheng with dark circles under his eyes.

"Good morning, Judge Li. Hey, Judge Li, why do you look like you're in bad shape again? Why are these dark circles so big? Did you not sleep well?"

"Mm."

"You still need to pay attention to rest, Judge Li. We grassroots staff must take good care of our own bodies; the body is the capital!"

"Mm!!!"

And just as Zhou Yi was about to say a third sentence, Li Xusheng finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

"General Manager Zhou, although I am a judge, I watch your videos too!"

The implication was, you don't think I don't know who is making me work overtime, do you!

Uh... at this, Zhou Yi shut his mouth immediately, took one look at the seemingly overworked Judge Li, greeted him, and quickly slipped away.

Because in this short moment, several civil court judges he had seen before appeared with dark circles under their eyes.

He felt that if he didn't leave quickly, it would be easy for trouble to arise; the way everyone was looking at him didn't feel right.

Watching Zhou Yi leave, the several judges greeted each other and sighed, saying that this year's workload was so heavy...

Returning to the car and driving home, he gave the compensation money to his parents, but the mission progress was still stuck at 98 percent; could it be that he had to wait for Lawyer Zhou to finish suing all the other Travel Agencies?

What a lousy system!

Making up for a missed update, back to 51,000 words. Thanks to big brother Men Qian He Tao Shu for the tip, thank you. There should be another chapter tonight, not entirely sure, because I have to go out again..
