Chapter 392: Just Because You Are Going to be Penalized, I Have to Withdraw the Lawsuit?

The rule of law, to put it plainly, is that there must be laws to follow, and everything must be done in accordance with the law.

Although we say that a person who follows the law might still be a scumbag, following the law is always a little better than not following it.

But even so, for an operator like Nudong Company, there are very few cases where someone has stood up to file a lawsuit.

And precisely because of this, when this report appeared, many people were interested.

Especially when everyone learned that the amount in controversy for this lawsuit was only a little over one hundred yuan.

Because of Lawyer Fang's previous reminder, Zhou Yi now will not post videos before the court session begins.

Indeed, in a certain sense, him posting videos before the trial begins feels like using public opinion to interfere with the judiciary.

Even if he tells the absolute truth, even if he doesn't exaggerate anything at all!

It was fine when there were few viewers before, but now it is different; every move must be careful, and perhaps one moment of carelessness when a video is posted could cause bad consequences.

This is different from his original intention of being a stickler for details.

At a university in Modu, Fang Xiaoying is scrolling through short videos in her dormitory.

Fang Xiaoying, who is already a senior this year, belongs to that type of person with innate social butterfly syndrome, and she is also an Up Master who dances.

Because of the previous incident where A Yi hit a dog to death, she grew to like this maverick Up Master.

She likes dogs very much, and she also keeps dogs at home; by comparison, what she hates more are those guys who stigmatize dog lovers.

During the last incident, she had also stood up to bash that A Yi, but it turned out she didn't expect the situation to reverse.

And she didn't expect that she would end up being sued herself...

Of course, it was only Defamation of Reputation, so they went through Mediation, and Zhou Mouren had agreed to it there as well.

Even so, Fang Xiaoying was still stunned when she received the Court Summons before.

To be reasonable, she had never seen such a guy who seemed unreasonable but was actually extremely reasonable.

Others just talk big on the internet and talk about the law, but A Yi is different; he only says it once: you stop the Tort, otherwise I will sue you.

She naturally ignored it; there are so many people who say that on the internet, and they all just flash a Lawyer's Letter.

Who doesn't know now that a Lawyer's Letter is just a tiny bit better than waste paper.

As a result, she received a Court Summons; he sues when he says he will, and he doesn't indulge anyone at all.

Because of this, Fang Xiaoying developed a strong interest in this maverick Up Master A Yi, and spent several days catching up on the other party's videos.

Then she had a feeling: after she graduates, she wants to go to Tengda Company and follow him!

As a dance major student, Fang Xiaoying's physical appearance is naturally beyond reproach, but she is a little suspicious that that A Yi doesn't seem to like girls...

A Yi hasn't updated his videos, so she is just scrolling casually, looking at all kinds of news that leaves people stunned.

As a result, while scrolling, she saw a piece of news with the headline: Tengda Company Employee Sues Nudong Company, a Stickler Boss, a Stickler Company!

Holy crap! Fang Xiaoying was immediately interested.

It is not just because this is related to A Yi, but more importantly, this is a lawsuit against Nudong Company!

What kind of scale Nudong Company has, basically everyone knows that; now, has someone actually jumped out to go head-to-head with them?

In society, there have actually always been some reasonable people; for example, many years ago, there were cases of suing the "Iron Boss" (the railway authority).

But because it was a long time ago, the internet was not that developed.

She hurriedly clicked to look and found that this was posted by someone signed "Jingzhou Big Smarty".

And it didn't just talk about the lawsuit, but introduced Tengda Company in great detail.

Previously, there had been many legends about Tengda Company on the internet, such as little stories about how everything at Tengda Company is done according to the Labor Law, or that Tengda Company would actually teach the Labor Law.

Or perhaps, that Tengda Company would help employees fight lawsuits.

But no one had ever been able to explain these things clearly.

And now, in this article, this author called "Jingzhou Big Smarty" introduced Tengda Company in great detail.

Fang Xiaoying was stunned reading it; can you believe a company that teaches the Labor Law during onboarding training?

What is even more outrageous is that this company actually established a Legal Aid Center; as long as employees have any issues, they can come to consult, or even ask the company's legal department to help fight a lawsuit!

What kind of fairy-like company is this!

These words are not just spoken randomly; the author provided many cases in the article, all of which have Indictments.

When she saw that someone could even ask the company's legal department to step in to secure evidence and file a Lawsuit for a trivial matter like a debt of one hundred yuan, Fang Xiaoying had nothing left to say.

After she watched A Yi's videos, what she envied most was that the other party could be a stickler for details whenever he wanted, saying "I'll sue you" and actually suing you.

Who would have thought that Tengda employees actually have such benefits?

One hundred yuan; basically, when encountering such a thing, people choose to let it go and comfort themselves, thinking that using one hundred yuan to see a person's true colors is worth it.

But if you ask if you feel comfortable in your heart, of course you don't.

And there are no shortage of other similar cases, such as being blocked while parking, parking spaces being occupied and the person refusing to move the car, etc.

It's so satisfying, isn't it!

Continuing to look further, she finally saw the main point: a Tengda employee is suing Nudong Company, the amount in controversy is only a little over one hundred yuan, but they are determined to sue you!

Moreover, the article also says that the Nudong Company employee was willing to pay the one hundred-plus yuan themselves to resolve this matter, but was rejected by the Tengda employee!

Combining this with the previous content, Fang Xiaoying could easily see that by now, this is no longer just a matter between a Tengda employee and Nudong Company.

No matter what the law says, in reality, people will always think this way.

After all, without Tengda Company's support, that employee could not possibly be such a stickler for details.

But I have to say, doing this really makes people feel comfortable!

The things operators do regarding account cancellation services are truly hard to describe; corresponding to this is mobile number portability.

The authorities have issued repeated orders for how long, but the lower levels will just set up layers of obstacles for you.

And ever since it became possible to cancel accounts and port mobile numbers, some inexplicable free Traffic Packages have started to become prevalent.

So, just by looking at the comments, one can tell that there is no shortage of supporters for this matter.

However, upon flipping to the comments section, Fang Xiaoying discovered that the comments here were a bit off.

"I naturally wouldn't dare to criticize A Yi, I'm just purely commenting on this matter. Right, his employee directly refused, so what are the grassroots employees at the opposing Nudong Company supposed to do?"

"They came with the attitude of solving the problem, you asked for so much, they gave you that much, yet you still won't agree and insist on going to court. Then these employees definitely won't have a good ending in the company. Is it really right for you to be this pedantic?"

This was the comment with the most likes, and the name was "Working Dog."

Looking below, quite a few people were supporting it, but there were also some who expressed opposition.

"To the person above, go buy a train ticket now, take the train to a place called the Leshan Giant Buddha, and tell the person there, 'Get up, I'm sitting down!'"

Then these two started a reply thread that went on for many levels.

"We are all working people; should working people really make things difficult for other working people? Think about it with empathy; they are just trying to make a living, there's no need to say things so harshly."

"As for resisting, all working people know that we are in the weaker position. Why should we resist? Do we not need to support our families anymore?"

Fang Xiaoying looked at these dialogues and felt a bit confused again, because she felt like both sides seemed to have a point.

From this perspective, the Tengda employee not agreeing to the mediation really does seem like it would cause big problems for the other side's employees.

So, who is actually wrong here?

At this moment, inside the business hall, Manager was on the phone.

"I don't care what method you use, in short, I only look at the results, understand?"

Although it had sparked public opinion, the influence of the public opinion was not yet very large.

Manager could only nod.

And just as Manager hung up the phone, Li Xiaojie on the side hurriedly asked: "Manager, what should we do now?"

"We go to Tengda, go find their boss. If it weren't for the other side's support, how could that Wu De possibly persist!"

"And if the other side doesn't agree, then expose this matter again, say that because they won't agree to mediation, we are now facing company disciplinary action!"

Li Xiaojie nodded upon hearing this; this was indeed a pretty good method.

After all, for them, over a hundred yuan can be obtained at any time; since you already have the money in hand, why bother?

If you continue to persist, it will cause us people to be disciplined, then you are in the wrong for doing that.

Having made up their minds, the two left the business hall and soon arrived at Tengda Company.

The company's former receptionist, Weiwei, had already become Liangzai Zhou's Secretary, and the current receptionist was a girl who had been newly hired.

Compared to Weiwei, she was a bit lacking, but in this day and age, it is still a bit difficult to find a candidate who is qualified in every aspect.

"Looking for President Zhou? Sorry, President Zhou is not here right now," the receptionist girl said with a smile.

"But, but we have an urgent matter to find President Zhou for, it's really very urgent, can you see if you can ask?" Manager said hurriedly.

The receptionist was in a difficult position. Just at this time, Chu Lan walked in from outside and saw at a glance that the situation here was not quite right.

"What's going on?"

"President Chu, the two of them say they want to see President Zhou, but they don't have an appointment," the receptionist girl said quickly.

Chu Lan looked over upon hearing this and smiled: "Are the two of you looking for President Zhou? I wonder if it's about work matters or something else?"

"If it's a private matter, then I suggest you contact President Zhou yourselves. If it's a work matter, you can tell me first."

Manager had no choice; under Chu Lan's persuasion, they went to the office and immediately told Chu Lan about the matter.

"President Chu, there is really no other way. The higher-ups require us to solve the problem and absolutely cannot go to court for a trial, so you tell us what we can do, right?"

"Now we are willing to compensate. If that Mr. Wu is not satisfied, we can even pay three times or ten times. We really want to ask him to withdraw the lawsuit."

While Manager was speaking, Chu Lan did not say a word. She naturally knew about the Company Legal Aid Fund.

She just didn't expect that it would actually lead the other party to find the company because of this matter.

"Manager, it's useless for you to find President Zhou for this. The person just wants your company to pay the compensation in the company's name; you just need to report it up," Chu Lan said.

"That won't work, Manager Chu. Our regulations here are to compensate with phone credit. Look, we are even willing to give money..."

It's just a pity that no matter how Manager spoke, Chu Lan on the other side maintained the same attitude: she was very sympathetic to your situation, but this matter could not be agreed to.

Finally, Li Xiaojie became a bit anxious and said: "President Chu, I don't understand what there is that cannot be agreed to. We are even willing to compensate ten times!"

"Does President Zhou really want to see us get disciplined by the company to be happy? Ah, then what are we supposed to do!"

Hearing this, Chu Lan's expression sank.

At Tengda, you can talk about anyone, but it's best not to talk about how President Zhou is.

Perhaps there might be ingrates, but people basically have hearts, especially today when 996 and even 007 are rampant, and all kinds of overtime culture are overflowing.

How a company's treatment is, one can tell just by comparing.

Therefore, Chu Lan didn't save face anymore and said directly: "President Zhou? You're talking about President Zhou? Fine, let's sort this out!"

"Whose fault is it exactly regarding Wu De's matter? Which law stipulates that compensation must be paid in phone credit? Is there one?"

"Whose fault is this exactly? Oh, so it turns out we are a normal company, we are easy to talk to, so we should agree, right?"

"We don't agree and you are going to be disciplined, so we must agree, otherwise we are heartless, right?"

What kind of logic is this!

Chu Lan thought of the video of President Zhou she had watched before: should a good person be pointed at with a gun?

You are employees of Nudong Company, so you can only deal with us, and we must agree no matter what!

Manager was silent for a moment, then said: "But President Chu, that's how it's said, but we are all working people. How do we have the ability to make trouble with our company?"

Chu Lan blinked and suddenly smiled.

"Then make it big. Haven't similar reports already appeared on the internet? If the matter is bigger, it will be easier to handle."

Everything must be reasoned; laws are established to be followed. If one just muddles through because the choice has little impact, then might as well not have these civil rights at all.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Lan spoke again: "If you feel you can't go on working at Nudong Company in the future, you can come to Tengda and try."

"However, I think you probably won't come; after all, the nature of that place is different."

This is a dilemma. Chu Lan certainly sympathizes with the other party, but this is a dead knot.

It is just like a courier service; whatever you do to the courier service here, it will eventually be pushed down onto the bottom-level employees.

Then they moral-shame you; does that mean you cannot seek Legal Aid because of this? On what grounds?

Therefore, Chu Lan could only try her best to provide a path, even though it had no effect at all.

Manager Zhou sighed; the purpose of her coming had already been achieved, and the reports outside would all follow her ideas.

They would say that Tengda does not care about the life or death of these bottom-level employees and lacks empathy.

But... why does it always feel like something is wrong?

No matter what she thought, driven by some Self-Media that loves to watch the chaos, the heat of the whole matter had already begun to skyrocket.

Very quickly, corresponding topics or discussions appeared!

"We are seeking Legal Aid, but it will cause others' interests to be damaged; should we continue?"

First update! Some book friends responded that they still like the book to write more about legal popularization and be a bit more hardcore. I was told I was padding the word count for listing legal articles before, so I put them in the end-of-month remarks. So now I am asking everyone how you actually see this...
