Chapter 303: Ah Huang also did it! (Seeking monthly votes)

Modu, Xiao Lan Company.

After experiencing the previous massive fines and the deadline for rectification, Xiao Lan Company is truly keeping a low profile now, with not the slightest movement externally.

If it weren't for the fact that one can often see those delivery riders on the streets, many people would even think that Xiao Lan Company had already gone bankrupt.

But in fact, they are living quite well.

Only today, there are some rather irritable voices inside Xiao Lan Company.

"What's going on? Why is someone suing us again? Didn't they say last time that there were no major issues for the time being?"

Someone said there.

Being sued is nothing for a company, but the clause the other party is targeting is a bit of a pain in the neck; the key is, the other party must have a reason for suing!

What is the Customer Service Department for? If it has already reached the stage of Litigation, then they must have felt dissatisfied before.

And according to regulations, when encountering words like the other party saying they want to sue, it must be reported, and then there will be a specialized Customer Service Manager to contact them to resolve the problem.

Now, how did they get sued so inexplicably!

The leadership gave the order, the subordinates immediately started investigating, and then, they found out about the previous matter.

Thus, a few hours later, in a spicy hot pot shop in Jingzhou City that is undergoing rectification, Ge Qiaoling received a call from Xiao Lan.

"What? That person sued the platform? This has nothing to do with me! I paid the money, the shop was rectified, I don't know anything!"

Ge Qiaoling is currently feeling completely bewildered; she thinks that either she is crazy or this world is crazy.

"But then why does he still want to sue the platform and have our clause declared invalid? This... isn't this just purely sick?" The person on the other end wanted to vomit blood.

What for? Everything is fine and yet he wants to sue. Is the Court your family's? Do you think you are the President of the Court, suing whenever you want? If you are unhappy about something, you tell us, we will solve it for you. There is always a way to solve it!

While calling to ask the merchant, on the other side, because of the Indictment, it didn't take long for Xiao Lan to confirm it.

The guy who filed the Lawsuit is a Jingzhou native, surnamed Zhou, given name Yi; the conditions matched up all at once.

"So, it's that Zhou Yi? I f***ing..."

However, that Zhou Yi didn't usually look for trouble on his own before, right? It seems he usually mediated when encountering problems. How come this time, even after mediation, he came to find trouble for the platform again? Harming others, and it doesn't seem to benefit himself either; he's purely sick!

Even if they racked their brains, they probably wouldn't guess that on that day, Zhou Mouren was just bored, and then felt he hadn't been close with his ox... friends at the Court for a long time, so he wanted to file a lawsuit.

After all, as a friend, one must support their work more; that is what a good friend is.

Also, he wanted to discipline this company; don't just talk to people about platform regulations all the time. Just because you made a regulation doesn't mean it's definitely right; if there's a mistake, it must be changed!

The anger was vented, but things still had to be done. Thus, very quickly, under orders from above, the senior Manager in charge of public relations, General Manager Xu, decided to contact that Mr. Zhou personally.

He wanted to know what the other party actually wanted to do; everything is negotiable, there is no need to make a scene at the Court.

Previously, it was because of this person that their company was inexplicably given a heavy blow, and now this person is making trouble inexplicably again.

It was another time Zhou Yi called "Charge Discussion Day"; this has become a tradition. Every Tuesday afternoon, Zhou Yi would come to the law firm to engage in a very "criminal" discussion with Fang Dazhuang and Zhou Xinran.

The topics of discussion were also very complex, such as how to commit murder and be exempted from prosecution, how to send someone inside in the shortest time...

Zhou Xinran was originally very reserved, but now she has also participated, and she talks about it with great pleasure.

Just at this moment, Zhou Yi's phone rang.

"General Manager Xu, right? Whatever you want to say, just say it directly," Zhou Yi said with some helplessness.

He also didn't know what this man, who claimed to be the Vice General Manager of Xiao Lan Company, wanted to say; he had been rambling about useless things for a long time.

"Haha, General Manager Zhou, I just saw that you seem to have sued our company because of that clause. No other meaning, just want to ask, what are your demands? You can tell us directly; whether it's compensation or restitution, everything is negotiable."

"There's no need to go to the Court at every turn, really no need."

Zhou Yi smiled upon hearing this; the Lawsuit is just a means. If the other party is willing to modify it, then he naturally agrees.

Therefore, he quickly said: "General Manager Xu, right? Since you have made this call, then I will just say it directly. This time, it is mainly because of that Standard Clause."

"I think you shouldn't restrict in that clause that one must contact the insurance first. This is wrong. You should abolish this clause. What do you think?"

After all this trouble, it was still because of this. General Manager Xu thought for a moment and said: "General Manager Zhou, this isn't necessary, right? Look, when you discover a problem, you can also contact the merchant directly, right? That's just a regulation, actually it's not to say..."

Zhou Yi didn't show courtesy this time and directly interrupted the other party's words: "Don't, General Manager Xu, let's discuss the facts. If I hadn't insisted on complaining, do you think this matter would have gone so smoothly? Whether it's the merchant or your customer service, the one sentence they keep on their lips is: 'This is the regulation!'"

"So I just think, why can a clearly illegal clause appear openly in your Standard Clauses? Your customer service treats it as a golden rule, and every other word is 'regulation'. Do you think this is right?"

Present the facts and reason things out. If you at Xiao Lan are reasonable, then everything is easy to discuss; we can all go through Mediation.

But if you at Xiao Lan don't accept it, that's fine; we can finish this Lawsuit, and at that time, let the Court make you change it!

General Manager Xu was silent. He could not understand the thoughts of this man named Zhou Yi on the other side. The other party doing this is thankless; is it just to post a video?

He was silent, but Zhou Yi didn't urge him, just waited quietly.

Finally, General Manager Xu said: "General Manager Zhou, let me tell you, this kind of similar Standard Clause is not unique to us. Ah Huang next door also has similar clauses. These are all to resolve problems faster and better when they occur, so this..."

"Oh, now that you mention it, I almost forgot, there is also an Ah Huang. Don't worry, I will sue Ah Huang together tomorrow."

Zhou Mouren remembered all of a sudden; he was too busy dealing with Xiao Lan and almost forgot there was an Ah Huang, which also had shady operations.

Fang Dazhuang also nodded and said: "That's right, if he hadn't said that, I would have almost forgotten. If we are going to do it, we have to do it all together. We can't have any omissions, lest someone says later that we aren't serious and can't even be serious properly."

Zhou Xinran, who was preparing to pour tea nearby, was completely speechless at this moment, looking at the two of them as if she were looking at two big perverts.

Ah Huang probably really was hit while lying down, but for such a company, since it can be sued and the chances of winning are high, it means there are indeed such and such problems.

Perhaps some people will think that he, Zhou Mouren, is making a mountain out of a molehill and think there is no need to do this at all, but Zhou Yi doesn't care.

Rights are a very important thing, especially the rights of consumers. One must let these companies know that there will always be someone who cares and will be serious.

General Manager Xu on the other side was silent again, and the silence lasted a bit long.

To tell the truth, this matter is actually not a particularly important thing for the platform, and this clause is not the kind of life-or-death clause.

It is nothing more than giving consumers the right to choose. You can choose to contact the insurance directly, or you can choose to contact the merchant directly for compensation, instead of being limited to only contacting the insurance.

"General Manager Zhou, is it that if we agree to delete this clause, you can withdraw the Lawsuit?"

"Of course, that is my demand!"

"Alright then, we agree. You should withdraw the Lawsuit..."

Xiao Lan really doesn't want to fight this Lawsuit; this is different from those other lawsuits.

This is a lawsuit directly involving the basic rights of consumers; don't forget, Xiao Lan Company was just beaten black and blue by its parent company, and it needs to keep a low profile right now.

If this were to get out, the consequences would be unimaginable...

We asked you to rectify, and this is what you changed? You fixed Big Data Price Discrimination, but now you can directly infringe upon the right to choose?

The parent company won't say things like "this wasn't in the rectification requirements I gave you at the time"; if you don't understand it without being told, the result definitely won't be good anyway.

But after inadvertently mentioning the brother next door and discovering that Zhou Yi would also sue the other party, then there was no problem.

Everyone is in the food delivery business; if there's a change, we should all change together. Otherwise, if only we are the Defendant and you are fine, it will always feel uncomfortable.

Now, hearing that the brother next door is also joining in, it feels much better...

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi looked at Fang Dazhuang and said, "Fang Dazhuang, let's sue Ah Huang while we're at it."

"Sure, no problem. Xinran, you go; this case is too simple."

Fang Dazhuang was too lazy to go, and Zhou Yi didn't really want to film a video either, because this matter didn't cause any sensation at all, and the content was extremely simple.

Forget it, it's better to just post a text update after Ah Huang is also sued and there's a result.

This time, Xiao Lan compromised very quickly, and Zhou Yi also felt it was normal; his popularity is getting higher and higher now, so it's normal for these big companies to compromise quickly after knowing his identity.

However, there will definitely be those who won't compromise!

At the very least, it has been thirteen days since I personally contacted customer service to complain about the Paid Advanced On-Demand fees of Qiyi Video Platform, and let alone a response, they haven't even made a peep!

The status of a big internet influencer does indeed make internet companies a little wary, but only a little.

When it comes to issues involving huge interests, it is absolutely impossible for them to compromise easily!

Just like Dreamland before, and just like those companies during the Big Data Price Discrimination incident.

I don't care how many times you've won before; you want me to give up such huge profits for no reason?

That's impossible; we have to have a real, head-on fight!

And at this moment, the topic between the three had already reached another level.

These are all new crimes added in last year's Criminal Law Amendment XI or modifications to previous crimes.

As everyone knows, Fang Dazhuang is particularly interested in every Criminal Law Amendment.

For example, he highly approves of the clause: "Those who have reached the age of twelve but are under the age of fourteen who commit intentional homicide, etc... and the circumstances are egregious, upon approval by the Supreme People's Procuratorate for prosecution, shall bear criminal responsibility!"

This was added on the basis of the past age of fourteen but under sixteen.

The reason is also very simple: with the development of society, crime, especially some extremely egregious vicious criminal incidents with extremely cruel means and great social impact, has shown a significant trend toward younger ages.

Fang Dazhuang feels this shouldn't be the case; the law, especially Criminal Law, must first make people feel fear!

If they are no longer afraid of Criminal Law, then what is the point?

In short, Fang Dazhuang spoke very happily, and Zhou Yi also listened very happily!

These can be called alternative "brats," and now they can finally be regulated under Criminal Law.

After all, sometimes this age of criminal responsibility is really hard to talk about.

It always makes people feel uncomfortable.

While talking, Fang Dazhuang finally stopped, his mouth dry, and began to drink water.

Zhou Yi spoke up: "By the way, Fang Dazhuang, I have another question this time, which is about the recent Qiyi Video Platform matter. You said the other party claims to open Member Priority Viewing, and then says it's Paid Advanced On-Demand; can we seek Legal Aid?"

Fang Dazhuang, who was still immersed in Criminal Law, raised his head upon hearing this and said: "What's the situation? Open membership, and then pay for Advanced On-Demand?"

"This depends on the situation; it depends on what the other party said regarding Member Priority Viewing, whether they said that opening a membership allows priority viewing of all episodes... In short, this depends on the terms."

"Why did you suddenly think of asking this? Did you encounter another problem?"

Before Zhou Yi could say anything, Zhou Xinran on the side had already spoken: "Teacher Fang, I've encountered this matter too, but I didn't take it to heart before..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xinran felt a bit embarrassed.

Although she is a Lawyer, in life, to be honest, she really doesn't care about these things; encountering Paid Advanced On-Demand is nothing more than spending money.

But thinking about it now, it does seem a bit wrong.

"Oh, Qiyi Company, right? What do you plan to do, are you still going to file a Lawsuit?"

The sleep-aid chapter is here, good night everyone, still can't burst out today. The debt is still 102,000 characters.
