Chapter 234: Why on earth did you go and provoke him when everything was fine

"Xiao Le, how is the preparation going?"

"Sister Zhou, it's almost done. We went back last night and prepared until midnight."

Zhou Xinran smiled upon hearing this: "That's good, that's good. When we go to court, I'll let you all go up and experience it. For those studying law, going to court will be a common occurrence in the future."

"But remember not to overwork yourselves; your health is what matters. After it's over, I'll treat you all to a big meal!"

"Thank you, Sister Zhou."

As she walked, Zhou Xinran skillfully greeted the Interns. Coming to a law firm for an internship was a tradition at Handong University of Political Science and Law.

In fact, it wasn't just law firms; there were also the Court and the Procuratorate. Students majoring in this field at Handong University of Political Science and Law would basically all go to these places for internships.

In the Lawyer profession, you can study on paper a hundred times, and even memorize the legal statutes until you know them by heart, but if you haven't gone through practical application, it's useless.

Not to mention anything else, just the various procedures alone could leave those Interns in a state of chaos.

To be honest, this incident was truly a great opportunity for these Interns!

To be able to participate in such a large-scale Litigation before graduation, following a case from beginning to end, and with a professional like Lawyer Zhou to escort and guide them.

Such experience is not something you can just get casually.

Therefore, these Interns were all as energized as if they had been injected with chicken blood; if they couldn't finish their work during the day, they would continue after returning to the dormitory at night, even if it meant staying up late to get it done.

Just looking at everyone's faces, still without dark circles, Zhou Xinran sighed. They were young, after all; staying up late didn't seem to affect them much.

Prepare, it doesn't matter. Zhou Xinran drank her coffee with a relaxed expression and started playing on her phone. The Culture and Tourism Department and the Market Supervision Department were conducting joint law enforcement—oh right, and the Public Security Department too.

These days, no matter what kind of comprehensive law enforcement is being conducted, they have to drag the Public Security Department along. If they encounter anything suspected of being a crime, they don't even need to report it to the police; they can summon them directly.

And so, the police officers were also working all kinds of overtime...

Under such intensity of rectification, Zhou Xinran did not believe those Travel Agencies would still have any thoughts of fighting a Lawsuit.

Yes, people learn to be smarter, especially when following a teacher as extremely intelligent as Fang Dazhuang. Zhou Xinran was also constantly learning and making progress.

Having had that previous experience with Zhou Yi, she was now very clear that in this case, 99 percent of it would be handled through Mediation.

Not saying 100 percent was just because she didn't want to be too absolute.

The authorities above were vigorously rectifying things, and yet you, down here, were actually being sued for a contract dispute?

It was like you were being treated to a "belt stir-fry" by your dad because of bad grades, and then the teacher happened to come to the door and said you had other faults at school. Guess whether your dad would ask the teacher for the details carefully, or if he would increase the intensity?

This kind of thing shouldn't be talked about too much; everyone knows it in their hearts.

Watching these "workhorses" being so diligent, Zhou Xinran felt very gratified.

She thought of her former self, who had prepared for several days, even preparing for the opposing lawyer's reactions for a long time, only to be met with Mediation.

But to be honest, that kind of experience was actually particularly useful. Experience is something you learn slowly.

Having just replied to Zhou Yi using her Mengnan Zhou account, she didn't know why, but recently the number of times she had been "flipped" by Zhou Yi was a bit high.

For this video, she had just mentioned it, saying that Lawyer Zhou was also capable; it was just a casual remark.

As a result, she was replied to by Zhou Yi.

"You still dare to show up? I already told Goddess Zhou what you said last time about her looks being just so-so. She said you are 'sticking your butt up at the sky, blind and without eyes'!"

What the heck, are you sure this kind of allegorical saying is something a girl like me could say?

Thus, Mengnan Zhou directly retorted.

"Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for Lawyer Zhou to say such things!"

After saying that, she looked at it carefully again; the problem wasn't big, she definitely couldn't have been exposed.

Just as she was pondering whether she should go see everyone again and offer some encouragement, her phone rang.

"Hello, the Tourism Association, right? They all want to mediate? Alright, alright, then let's go to the Court and have the judge preside over the mediation. Yes, okay, no problem."

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Xinran looked at the Interns outside. The speed at which the other side was chickening out was faster than she had imagined.

"Hey, everyone, stop for a moment. I just received a call from the other side. They notified me that they want to mediate these cases, so let's go to the Court first."

Mediation? The Interns looked at the work in their hands; there were even people nearby who had already started preparing for a mock trial.

And now, they were going to mediate?

Facing everyone's gazes, Zhou Xinran smiled: "In the future, when you go out to fight Lawsuits, it will be like this too. Most Civil Disputes actually don't reach the stage of a verdict; they will all be mediated."

"But this doesn't mean your work was useless. Mediation also requires negotiation. Alright, everyone, pack up."

After speaking, Zhou Xinran looked at the group of Interns and suddenly felt that she really wasn't the simple and innocent Zhou Xinran of the past anymore.

She had never thought that one day she would also become dark-bellied.

But the mediation work still had to be done.

While they set off for the Guangming District Court, on the other side, inside the Yuefu Residential Quarter, Zhou Yi chuckled and saved a screenshot of Mengnan Zhou's reply.

He had a special folder on his computer containing the dark history of Zhou Cainiao and Fang Dazhuang.

Yes, after some hesitation, Zhou Mouren felt he could do it, so he also saved Fang Dazhuang's dark history; the problem shouldn't be big.

It's just that Zhou Xinran was already going to mediate, so why was the progress on the System Panel task event still the same? Where exactly did the problem go wrong?

Or was it that he needed to wait for something else to happen?

Inside the Jingzhou City Tourism Association, many people working in the tourism industry were complaining there.

"This is truly an unprovoked disaster. Old Zhao, you say, why did you have to go and provoke that A Yi for no reason? Look at how it's turned out now."

"Exactly, President Zhao. You watched his videos, didn't you? You should know what kind of person he is. At most, you could have just given the money, or fought the Lawsuit; why did you have to write that article?"

"Now we've all been sued. Look at this mess!"

What is the butterfly effect, what is copying homework.

The tour groups in Jingzhou City were not just the hundred or so employees from Zhou Yi's company; those hundred or so people were just the trigger.

Ask yourself, if someone signed up for a Pure Play Tour and was then dragged to go shopping, and they achieved a "Return One Compensate Three," it was equivalent to going on a trip without spending money and even making a lot of profit.

Then guess what the others who signed up for the same tour would think?

Also, if the people on the Pure Play Tour thought this way, what would the rest of those who signed up for quality tours and were dragged to go shopping think?

Even those guys who signed up for low-priced tour groups have started looking for a Lawyer to check their Travel Contract...

As long as there are no corresponding shopping clauses in your contract, can I sue too?

To put it bluntly, after this matter broke out of its niche, the local Self-Media in Jingzhou City have already started frantically ramping up the heat.

We don't have the guts to confront A Yi, but we have the guts to ride A Yi's coattails to make money, and we have a lot of it.

So, over the past two days, many people in Jingzhou discovered that they were being pushed a lot of short video news related to travel, and naturally, anyone who had signed up for a tour group to go out and play recently knew about this.

Once they looked into it, it was incredible; before, everyone felt that going to Court was very troublesome, Legal Aid was too tiring, and even if you won the lawsuit in the end, you wouldn't get much money, and might even lose money.

As a result, they now find that this lawsuit doesn't seem that difficult, and "I can do it too!"

The main thing is that there is so much money after winning!

So in these past few days, Judge Li and his colleagues in the Second Civil Division were almost busy to the point of exploding.

It was truly busy to the point of exploding; the dozens of cases from Zhou Yi are nothing, Jingzhou is currently in the peak tourist season, July and August, so you can imagine exactly how many people have gone out to play recently.

And then when everyone comes to file a Lawsuit, guess what will happen at the Court...

Li Xusheng doesn't even have time to complain now; he feels that if he keeps going like this, he himself is going to have problems.

Never mind Judge Li, the staff at the Case Filing hall are almost vomiting just from seeing the two words "travel," okay?

Actually, many people here are just following the trend; with the evidence they have on hand, there is no way they can win the lawsuit. It's not enough to just say that someone took you shopping; you must have evidence!

But no matter the situation, as long as it meets the conditions for Case Filing, it must be filed.

Consequently, these fellow Lawyers in Jingzhou City also discovered with surprise that recently, there have been a lot of disputes over Travel Contract, and they all come in saying directly that they want to file a Lawsuit!

In fact, many of these people are filming videos and hosting live streams, wanting to ride the wave of popularity.

But truth be told, you have to invest something to ride the heat; at the very least, these people really do have a Travel Contract and are truly willing to put up the money to file a Lawsuit.

So under these circumstances, the travel industry exploded; it really exploded.

Many Travel Agency started communicating with Ground Handling Agency and wholesalers of travel products.

The wholesalers are the factories that produce travel products.

Not to mention anything else, at the very least, during this period, don't stir up any more trouble; they are truly scared, and would rather earn less than have these troubles again.

Being sued by one person is a small matter, but being sued by ten people is a problem!

Not to mention that the few "daddies" above their heads are watching like tigers, and the entire industry is still undergoing rectification.

Is this the rule of law? Of course, this is the rule of law; you cannot say that just because everyone is aiming for this compensation money, it is not the rule of law.

Regarding such a situation, the relevant departments hold an encouraging attitude; it can only be said that we must make our grassroots judge comrades suffer a little more.

You must know that two years ago, the amount in controversy for a Civil Dispute under the jurisdiction of the Intermediate Court was raised from 100 million to 500 million, which means that except for some specified special cases, most Civil Dispute cases are handled by the District Court.

Facing the accusations of his peers, President Zhao just sat there without saying a word.

Finally, he couldn't help but say: "Stop talking, okay? Don't you think I regret it? I regret it so much my guts are green, okay? Is it useful? Wasn't I also sued?"

Since Zhou Yi's parents were like that, then the previous tour groups also had a high probability of being like that.

So naturally, they were sued.

It just so happened that they couldn't say anything, so the Travel Agency association had to step in to coordinate, trying their best to reach a Mediation, pay a little less money, and get this matter over with quickly.

So when Zhou Xinran arrived at the Court, what she saw was the pale-faced Li Xusheng.

"Hey Judge Li, are you okay?"

Lao Li waved his hand: "I'm fine for now. Let's settle your matter first; I still have a pile of cases to handle here, otherwise, there won't be enough time."

"No way, Judge Li, the cases for Tengda Company only add up to a few dozen, right?" Zhou Xinran asked with some curiosity.

Li Xusheng sighed and explained the general situation, leaving Zhou Xinran stunned.

This time, Zhou Yi seems to have played a bit too big!

This is actually a coincidence; Zhou Yi's identity as an Up Master, the things he did before to get to the bottom of things, plus this case, the compensation claims are also special, and then there are those Self-Media riding the heat.

In short, it was the combination of various factors that led to such a consequence.

Well, Zhou Xinran felt she should remind Zhou Yi to be careful when coming to the Guangming District Court in the future; Judge Li and the others seem to grit their teeth whenever they mention him.

"Okay Judge Li, let's start quickly."

The Mediation work went exceptionally smoothly; basically, as long as the evidence was conclusive, the Travel Agency side had nothing to refute, they just hoped to pay a little less money.

Because it's really not easy right now...

And then they had to coordinate with the Employee of Tengda, to make everyone satisfied; fortunately, there were many "cattle and horses" brought along, so she could save some breath.

Just like that, today, they didn't finish all the Mediation, and the rest will have to wait for tomorrow to continue.

Walking out of the Court, the Interns all had an expression of being tired but happy on their faces.

Although there was no trial, being able to participate in the Mediation work and apply what they learned in books to reality, that feeling was really great!

Of course, cherish this great feeling; when you graduate and are suing until you vomit, I believe you will remember your mood at this time.

Just like those who just bought a car and are learning to drive, they all think about driving every day.

But go ask the drivers who make driving their profession, ask them if they are happy driving for a whole day...

…………

It was already night, at home in Yuefu Residential Quarter, Zhou Yi watched as the progress of that event finally jumped again, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, he received a call from Zhou Xinran.

"What? This matter actually developed to this point? No, those Self-Media did a bit too good of a job... oh no, they went a bit too far!"

"How could they do this?"

"Oh Xinran, your work isn't finished yet? Okay, I know, it's fine, my relationship with Judge Li and the others is very good, they couldn't possibly do anything."

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi couldn't help but show a smile.

To be honest, before he started getting to the bottom of things at the beginning, he never thought things would turn out like this.

Perhaps industry rectification is not easy to change the stubborn diseases of the industry, but when everyone can pick up legal weapons to protect their own legitimate rights and interests, no one can underestimate this power.

Return One Compensate Three, as well as the corresponding Breach of Contract compensation, are all written in the contract; a world where only he, Zhou Yi, reasons is not enough—this world needs more people who reason!

Hope everything goes well.
