Chapter 312: Professor's Identity Questioned, He Directly Flashes His Credentials to Slap Faces

Inside the law firm, Fang Dazhuang had been busy for a long time because of this lawsuit; his already sparse hair had become even thinner, but his eyes were bright, and his mood was quite good.

Especially after he read the comments sent over by Zhou Yi, which claimed that the electronic contracts they signed were invalid, he became even happier.

On one side, those online writers were whispering that such large-scale litigation shouldn't happen, and on the other, some were saying these contracts were invalid; Fang Dazhuang really wanted to stand by the window and shout, "I f***ing love this situation!"

Unlike many people, Fang Dazhuang was a man who truly enjoyed a challenge; he really liked debating with others, whether it was about big things or small, especially when it came to arguing over whether a contract was invalid.

For a big shot like Fang Dazhuang, he usually couldn't be bothered with ordinary civil contracts like this; these were things only players like Zhou Cainiao would handle.

But this time, because it was Zhou Yi's matter, he had drafted one on the side, and as a result, someone actually said the contract violated contract law—you can imagine what Fang Dazhuang's mood was like.

The legal department of Qiyi Company, and that writer called "Hongyuan" who claimed to be a senior sociologist, right? Very good, this must be debated with them point by point from beginning to end!

There were many challenges, but things had to be done one by one; Fang Dazhuang quickly made arrangements. The matter of contract breach could be arranged now; whether you are herding one sheep or two, it makes no difference.

However, this type of contract dispute could not be thrown to the Internet Court, because it did not fall under the jurisdiction of the Internet Court; it was just an ordinary contract dispute.

So... Guangming District Court, here we go!

Judge Li and the others shouldn't be too busy lately; how nice it would be to send them some business.

This really didn't need to be too simple; when the contracts were signed to entrust the litigation, the identity information of these people was already known, so there was no need to go through any more trouble—just take the information and file the lawsuit.

He couldn't even be bothered to do this himself, so he called out: "Xinran, come in for a moment. There are some cases; go to the Guangming District Court and file them. Later, if a hearing is scheduled and someone from Qiyi Company comes to help, tell me!"

Based on Fang Dazhuang's experience, perhaps at the very beginning, Qiyi Company would help out a little; after all, they had to keep up appearances, otherwise, when everyone saw it, they would say, "You said it was fine back then, but now we are in breach of contract, what should we do!"

The liquidated damages for this contract weren't much, just double the sum of the litigation fees, lawyer fees, and notarization fees combined—a few thousand yuan—but it would certainly make people feel great.

Zhou Xinran came in and started preparing the materials; a lawyer has to fight lawsuits, and fighting lawsuits is such a wonderful thing.

After throwing these to Zhou Xinran, Fang Dazhuang logged into his account on Sina Weibo; this time it wasn't Zhihu.

But even on Sina Weibo, Fang Dazhuang's account was just as conspicuous: Dui Renyi Hao!

Just looking at this name, you knew that there could be at least twenty more behind it...

"A pure passerby, yet you can type so many words and offer all sorts of criticism; you truly live up to the name of a pure passerby. But since you've said it, let's talk about it: is this large-scale litigation a scorched-earth policy, or is it that the company won't shed tears until it sees the coffin?"

"This person who claims to be a professor keeps saying that large-scale litigation is destroying social order and forcing the company to die, leaving the company no way out. Sorry, we gave them a chance!"

"Haven't you watched the video A Yi posted? In the contact between the two sides, it was stated very directly: either cancel the Paid Advanced On-Demand, or separate it from the membership, and create a reasonable charging system—then everything would be fine. But did you see them cancel it? Did they do it?"

"They would rather spend so much money to find people for mediation than cancel it. So, since they won't cancel it, we file a lawsuit—what is the problem with that?"

"Taking a step back, if they go bankrupt in the end, is it because of our lawsuit, or because they are unwilling to give up their profits?"

"Also, since when has reasonable and legal Legal Aid caused the destruction of social order? Does fighting a lawsuit destroy social order? Are you sure?"

Fang Dazhuang was replying point by point; since you want to talk reason, then let's talk reason!

These people keep saying A Yi is using a scorched-earth policy, but Fang Dazhuang can say right here: we made demands, but unfortunately, they felt the profit was too large and were unwilling to agree!

It's not that we insist you cancel it; you could make it more reasonable. Either it's a membership, or it's paid on-demand. In the end, membership became the foundation for paid on-demand—you don't even have the qualification for paid on-demand without a membership. Is that reasonable?

He wrote a whole lot, and since the word count exceeded the limit, he couldn't comment below, so he only replied to a part and posted the rest in the repost.

After finishing the reply, Fang Dazhuang felt refreshed; he just didn't know if you would delete the comment and block me, or debate me head-on!

And on the other side, Zhou Yi wasn't idle either.

He also posted a status: "In the past, some people always said that when you encounter a problem, you should first look for the cause within yourself—why don't they hit others but hit you, or that it takes two to tango."

These words have long disgusted many people, but what I didn't expect is that now, it has even reached the point where when I encounter a problem and seek Legal Aid, I have to consider others.

I've already sought Legal Aid, I've already filed a lawsuit, and you're telling me I have to consider the other party first?

This is a bit ridiculous. Why didn't these companies consider the consumers' thoughts before charging all these fees?

Zhou Yi also wrote a bunch of his own thoughts; he was very repulsed by this so-called "self-reflection."

An example: the house you bought is unfinished, and it's a pre-sale property. Then, according to regulations, even if it's unfinished, you must still pay your bank loan; if you don't pay, it goes on your credit report.

So, because it's a pre-sale property, I'm still renting; I'm paying rent on one hand and a mortgage on the other. I can't be overdue, so I scrimp and save, working myself to the bone to pay this money.

Then I feel like I can't go on living, so I plan to take other owners of unfinished properties to find that developer boss who drives a luxury car. I plan to go to his house for "Legal Aid" and plan to sue him.

As a result, someone suddenly jumps out and says, "There's no need for that, he's not having an easy time either. If he goes bankrupt, what will happen to the employees of his company, what will happen to his family?" Tell me, what would you think?

Applied to this matter, they just feel that one person suing doesn't count for anything and can't affect the company at all.

And the facts are indeed like that, which is why there is this matter of everyone suing together.

Zhou Yi's words resonated with many people; the audience in the comment section was now filled with righteous indignation.

"Hurry up, hurry up! I want to see them receive the Summons right now. And those who are stirring up trouble—a company, how many employees do they have? They can digest it in a minute, okay! What 'what will happen'!"

"I directly blasted the person who called me; they sounded like they were about to cry. What kind of nonsense is it to tell me to be understanding? I'll be understanding of his ****, why isn't he being understanding of me!"

"You guys actually scolded them? Unlike me, I spent half a day reasoning with them. I said that broken company is already leaking from all sides, hurry up and jump ship. For example, that Tengda Company in Jingzhou is not bad. That girl said she would consider it... A Yi, aren't you going to thank me!"

This comment appeared, and it immediately made everyone feel it was extraordinary!

What's the skill in scolding for half a day? Directly turning the other side around and making more friends—this is our glorious tradition, okay!

Consequently, those people at Qiyi Company responsible for calling to mediate discovered that many people were turning the tables and doing work on them, trying their best to persuade them to jump ship...

Imperial Capital, inside an unknown university, Ma Yue, the person who published that article online, claimed to be a professor online, but in fact, he was indeed an associate professor.

Although, as many people know, the gap between one associate professor and another is sometimes even greater than the gap between humans and aliens.

The internet is developing, and many of these experts and professors who had always been in ivory towers now write articles and do some Self-Media or something.

Then in this process, you will discover that between experts and experts, professors and professors, even ordinary people can see that the gap between them is really too big.

Some professors' statements are extremely professional, and every sentence they say hits the point, but some professors' statements are very anti-intellectual. Sometimes you are even curious: how could such a person become an expert?

The older I get, the more I feel this society is magical. When I was a child, I thought "why don't they eat minced meat" was just a made-up story, but after growing up, I discovered that some experts and professors really don't eat minced meat...

That previous article was, on one hand, to ride the wave of popularity, and on the other, naturally, he had been paid.

Of course, they are cultured people, so it's not called being paid—that sounds too ugly, you know? They just simply couldn't stand A Yi's actions.

If everyone were like you, suing at every turn, what would society become? If you can let it go, let it go; why bother?

Then, at this moment, Professor Ma sat in his office and saw Fang Dazhuang's reply.

He was immediately so angry that he couldn't catch his breath.

Relying on his status as a professor in his daily life, he is respected wherever he goes, whether on Sina Weibo or Zhihu, to say nothing of in reality.

Once people hear he is a university professor, they immediately feel that this person must be highly qualified!

He usually doesn't pay much attention to these matters online, but seeing someone actually reply to him with a long-winded argument, and one that hits the nail on the head, he suddenly flared up.

In our lives, or online, why is it that many people often curse others indiscriminately after you reason with them? I believe it's because you hit the nail on the head, and since they don't know how to respond, they can only resort to cursing.

Professor Ma wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

The term "pure passerby" is actually one Professor Ma uses often, though he doesn't know that now, as soon as you say you are a "pure passerby," you are saying: I have already taken a side.

Why? Because a truly "pure passerby" would simply pass by; they wouldn't even be bothered to reply with a single word—that is a "pure passerby."

"There really are all kinds of people on the internet now. What kind of status do you have to question me? Is such a large-scale Lawsuit a good thing? Those people clearly wouldn't file a Lawsuit, yet that A Yi jumps out to provide money and hire a Lawyer—is what he is doing right?"

"Then if I find someone unpleasant one day, should I also call a bunch of people to file a Lawsuit?"

"I don't need to be a so-called professor; I *am* a professor. What is your status? Have you even graduated from elementary school, yet you're here questioning me? I've seen plenty of people like you. If this were in reality, someone like you wouldn't even be able to see my face, you know!"

After finishing, he followed his habit and blocked the user directly.

It must be said, after all, he is Professor Ma; many Netizens who know his status, as well as his friends in reality, stood up to support him at this moment.

"To actually question Professor Ma—he really is a professor, okay? Do you think everything online is a scam?"

"Haha, kicked a steel plate, didn't you? Did you think this person was a fraud like those other so-called experts and professors? He can produce his credentials for you right now."

"They say the undergraduate rate online is only 4%. The truth is out; Professor Ma is absolutely right. Filing a Lawsuit should be something everyone does voluntarily. What that A Yi is doing is just wrong. Who does he think he is?"

Professor Ma replied: "Sigh, there's no help for it. I can only say that the popularization of higher education in our country is still insufficient; there are too many people like this who have no brains and no education."

There were many such comments, which made Qiyi Company quite happy, but the Internet Water Army were still hard to find, which was very annoying.

Fortunately, besides the Internet Water Army, there are still many ways to boost popularity; after all, it's Sina Weibo, those who know, know.

Consequently, in a very short time, a topic titled "Professor's Identity Questioned, Ending Reversed" saw its popularity skyrocket, and it went straight to the trending list.

Then, the audience of Zhou Mouren all saw it.

And among them, a certain newbie charged in the fastest!

"Mengnan Zhou": Is this the level of what a professor says? Large-scale Lawsuit is destroying social order? I am very puzzled about how he studied his political ideology; how can he even connect these two things?

And "reversed"—for an expert and professor like this, just forget it!

"Xiao Shufu": +1. The classic move of resorting to status when you can't win an argument. This situation is too familiar. If you hadn't said he was a professor, I would have thought it was just two trolls arguing on a Tieba forum.

As a veteran who frequents Tieba forums and such places, brother Xiao Shufu says it's truly classic; the daily operation of the brothers there is to find your information from your previous replies, such as what car you drive, whether you are rich, and so on.

Then use this to attack you directly!

Phrases like "Laughing to death, driving such-and-such a car and still talking here" appear one after another.

It's the same here; he opens his mouth and asks what your status is. Xun Ge once said that a person often talks about what they lack.

"Perhaps in his life, this is the only status he can brag about."

What is called a "critical kill"? This is a critical kill!

So, five minutes later, the brother discovered he had been blocked... He was instantly furious to the point of exploding, wanting nothing more than to go to reality and fight the other person one-on-one.

Times are progressing; this is really no longer an era where you can get by just by relying on a status. Everyone has too many ways to obtain information.

Why the "public intellectuals" have fallen from their original status to where they are now, the reason is very clear.

Yesterday was a special situation; today, normal updates have resumed. Throat-soothing chapter!!!

Thanks to brother Youxian Aming, brother Dang de Xuezi, brother Shuyou 2019, brother You Yige Xinshou, Wenchidage, and Feimaowuyu. Thanks to the brothers for the tips. Thank you. The thirst-quenching update will be in the afternoon as usual.
