Chapter 395: The Koi of This Company Are All Different

"Good morning, President Zhou!"

Accompanied by these sounds, Zhou Mouren walked into the Company, and He Ling came up to greet him.

"President Zhou, you've finally arrived. We have already finished the first round of interviews for our recent spring recruitment."

"Moreover, thanks to that article by the 'Jingzhou Smarty' last time, everyone on the internet now knows that our Company's benefits are incredible. This time, quite a few students have traveled specifically from Modu and the Imperial Capital to apply."

Speaking of this, He Ling shook her head; she was much like Chu Lan, having also spent time struggling in the Imperial Capital and Modu.

It's just that, how should one put it, those first-tier cities don't feel like home.

Seeing herself getting older, she returned to Jingzhou and found a company like Tengda Company. It was originally on the verge of bankruptcy, but after the new boss took over, it suddenly experienced a second spring.

However, for many young people, especially those with good educational backgrounds, their first choice after graduation remains the first-tier cities.

Don't look at what the internet says about how high the cost of living is in first-tier cities; those cities simply allow you to earn more money.

Of course, people like Young Master Zhou are different; after all, those who go to first-tier cities to strive... are different from him.

And now, many students from first-tier cities have actually run to Jingzhou just to participate in Tengda Company's recruitment. What kind of appeal is this!

It feels as if, all of a sudden, Tengda has the vibe of those big corporations...

There's no helping it; the high wages and full compliance with the Labor Law already surpassed many companies, and now they've even come up with some Legal Aid Fund!

This is a first among numerous enterprises, because everyone from the company boss down to the ordinary Employee has such benefits.

It has also caused many companies in Jingzhou to secretly grumble; although internal competition is severe now, there's no need to compete this hard, right?

Doing this is one thing, but with your scale, A Yi, you actually hired someone specifically to hype it up!

That's right, in everyone's view, that "Jingzhou Smarty" was specifically hired by A Yi to praise Tengda Company!

"President Zhou, are you sure you don't know that 'Jingzhou Smarty'?"

Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "He Ling, I've explained it several times already. I really don't know who he is."

This person is very familiar with the internal situation of Tengda Company, and the cases brought up are all ones that Tengda has handled, suggesting it might be someone from within Tengda.

But they just can't find them.

Besides, the other party is saying good things; you can't use Litigation to find out the other party's identity information.

So, unable to find this person, Zhou Yi has no choice; he feels like he has suddenly been made a scapegoat.

"Let's stop talking about this. You have full authority over the interview situation. If there are any special people or special matters, remember to tell me."

He Ling nodded. Of course, she knew that the special people and special matters Zhou Yi mentioned did not refer to how strong a person's work ability was.

It meant whether the other party had encountered any relatively uncommon situations.

As for work ability, that is naturally handled by their HR; professional matters are managed by professionals. This is Zhou Yi's consistent style.

There's no helping it; Zhou Yi knows that Fang Dazhuang's research has hit a bottleneck and needs something new to stimulate it.

It would be best if it could serve as a guiding case.

Ever since the Civil Code was released, the Supreme People's Court has frequently issued Case Analysis, mainly to popularize the law for everyone.

Likewise, the Supreme People's Court also issues guiding cases.

Actually, the effect is about the same, but you can tell from the name that these things have guiding significance.

That is to say, how the initial case is judged, many subsequent similar cases will be judged the same way.

Although we are a country of Written Law and do not emphasize legal precedents, the concept of precedent still has a profound influence.

It's just a pity that there are really too few cases that can become guiding cases.

On the other side, Fang Xiaoying was wearing a simple white top and light blue jeans, with light makeup on.

She hadn't chosen her target for this application well; after all, with a background in dance, there seemed to be very few matching job positions. If all else failed, she would just be a receptionist.

Yes, that's right, the Company plans to hire another receptionist this time. The previous receptionist girl was good-looking, but she had major problems in her interpersonal skills.

So she was transferred to the Self-Media Studio. The current Self-Media Studio is different from before.

The previous Self-Media Studio was a service team for President Zhou alone, but now, it has established its own account.

Borrowing from the influence of Liangzai Zhou, the Self-Media Studio's account is developing very well, focusing on short videos of a few minutes, filming small skits, short dramas, and the like.

Many are filmed by imitating Zhou Mouren's videos, and after guidance from the Legal Department, they also have the significance of popularizing the law.

So, girls with good looks go there; being a pretty face is not bad either.

At this moment, Fang Xiaoying was waiting in the lounge, with many others who had come for interviews nearby.

It's just that at this moment, the topic those people nearby were discussing was already a bit strange.

"By the way, do you know? If we come to the interview with a case on our backs, the pass rate is even higher, you know!" said a slightly chubby young man there.

Those who know understand that the Company helps with lawsuits; those who don't might think he's carrying a warrant.

Someone nearby asked curiously, "That can't be right. Although Tengda helps everyone with lawsuits, it wouldn't go to that extent, would it?"

"How could it not? I just heard it when I was outside. Among the employees Tengda hired last time, there was one known as the Little Koi. That guy, just after entering, the original company's vice president and HR manager were both sent in, you know!"

Although Zhou Mouren wouldn't talk nonsense, some words would still spread within the Company. There's no helping it; who made Wu Guniang's "battle record" really too good.

Hired in, directly or indirectly causing two people to go to jail and one person to be put in Detention—really, this "battle record" is unprecedented and likely won't be surpassed.

The other applicants were all stunned; so this is what the Company's "Little Koi" is like?

Why does it suddenly feel like their worldview is about to collapse?

It's easier to get in if you bring a case with you?

Fang Xiaoying suddenly felt that her case would seemingly be very easy, but how should she put it?

Just as she was thinking, the interview session arrived soon.

Basically, this interview thing is actually about looking at people; there are differences between people.

Question after question was asked one by one, all related to work ability.

When most of the questions were finished, the interviewer in front suddenly said:

"Ms. Fang, I have just introduced our Company's situation. An interview is a two-way choice; I am interviewing you, and you are also interviewing our Company."

"So now I have a question for you: what is your take on the Company Legal Aid Fund, and what is your take on the Legal Department helping employees to be persistent about their rights!"

"Also, if there is a matter now..."

This was the interview question He Ling had reset; the Company currently had this kind of atmosphere, so they absolutely could not hire people who would stir up opposition at the drop of a hat.

Deal with facts as they are, regardless of region or gender.

After Fang Xiaoying spoke about her own views, she said: "Um... I would like to ask, if I am successfully hired and begin my internship, can the Company help with my case?"

Guo Xiaoyun smiled upon hearing this: "That is certainly possible, but it must be approved by President Zhou. What kind of case do you have?"

"The other party, the other party is a bank..."

What? Guo Xiaoyun's eyes widened instantly.

This was truly getting more and more "criminal"; by now, even Guo Xiaoyun was a little scared. The boss was doing such big things, and she was truly afraid that one day the Company would just be gone.

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Yi, who had already returned home, received a call from Liu Shiwen.

"What? There is another relatively special one among the new recruits this time? They actually had a conflict with a bank. What is the situation here?"

Although he knew that as things developed, they would definitely have some intersections with these entities, he hadn't expected it to come so soon.

Employees had proposed similar things before, but they were rejected by the Legal Department before they even reached him.

To tell the truth, normal banks have very strict regulations; some things you think they are doing to make things difficult for you are actually things they truly cannot do.

It can be said that many of the things banks do that appear to outsiders as "taking off one's pants to fart" are all lessons learned from repeated experience.

There are no small matters when it comes to money.

But the fact that this case could be reported up by Liu Shiwen meant that the Legal Department was also a bit unable to handle it.

"It is like this, President Zhou: that young girl is named Fang Xiaoying, a university student in Modu, and it is said she is also your viewer..."

The problem Fang Xiaoying encountered is actually not complicated when you talk about it.

When she had just enrolled, because of this or that reason, she didn't understand clearly and acted as a guarantor for a loan for a senior schoolmate from her hometown.

Adults all know that there are three things you should not do these days; the first is not to lend out your car.

Because you don't know what kind of problems will happen once the car is lent out.

The second is to try your best not to borrow money; those who understand, understand. Even if you have no choice and must borrow, you must be careful and get all the necessary procedures done.

The third point is, do not act as a guarantor for others!

Because they can't bring themselves to say it, or are too embarrassed to refuse, etc., there are not a few people who rashly act as guarantors for others and end up losing their own homes.

And guarantees are divided into General Guarantee and Joint and Several Guarantee.

A General Guarantee, in plain language, means that if that "turtle grandson" who owes the money still has money, then others cannot come looking for you.

And a Joint and Several Guarantee, in plain language, means that the Creditor can ask whoever they want, and even if that "turtle grandson" who owes the money still has money, they can still ask you, the guarantor.

Before the Civil Code came into effect, many places adopted a presumed Joint and Several Guarantee; that is to say, if you did not have an agreement regarding the guarantee, it was deemed that you had adopted a Joint and Several Guarantee.

Just because of this, many people were scammed back then, and their family homes were inexplicably executed upon, just because they went to be a guarantor. You tell me, isn't that unjust?

Fortunately, after the Civil Code was promulgated, there was a clear provision: if both parties did not have an agreement, it would be recognized as adopting a General Guarantee.

Fang Xiaoying was just like this; she didn't know how it happened, but she became a guarantor for someone. At that time, the Civil Code hadn't been released yet, so naturally, she was sued.

Fortunately, the school had legal aid at the time, and coupled with the fact that this situation truly belonged to her being scammed, the Court was also effective. Synthesizing all this, Fang Xiaoying's guarantee liability was cancelled.

And the Plaintiff at that time was that lending bank, named Feiyue Bank.

Originally, logically speaking, since the Court had already issued a Judgment exempting her from guarantee liability, then it should have been fine.

But unfortunately, when Fang Xiaoying was preparing to apply for a credit card last year, she discovered that she had already been listed with a Bad Credit Record.

At the time, several friends applied together, and only she couldn't. Thus, many people knew that this Fang Xiaoying seemed to owe money and not pay it back, and had ended up on the Credit Record...

These days, many people will directly call people who are on the Credit Record "deadbeats," but this is a confusion of terms.

A Bad Credit Record and a Dishonest Judgment Debtor are two different things.

Although after explaining, the friends around her already knew she had been scammed, afterwards, Fang Xiaoying went to the bank several times to tell them to remove her Credit Record, but there were no results.

Because the other party didn't say they completely refused, they just used various excuses to push it off.

The "delay tactic" solves all problems, right?

Originally, they even said they were investigating, but in the end, they just said that you have to bear this guarantee liability.

It went back and forth like this until now.

A Credit Record is an extremely closed thing; in fact, financial institutions generally have this right to report it.

Take note, it is financial institutions, and it does not refer solely to banks!

Generally speaking, if you really discover there is a problem, the simplest and fastest way is to directly find the People's Bank of China to raise an objection.

After all, this thing is managed by the People's Bank of China.

But the Credit Reference Center of the People's Bank of China also has to let the financial institution that reported it at the time retrieve the data to verify.

And the reason why Fang Xiaoying had never adopted this method was that she couldn't swallow this anger!

She felt that this was truly an unprovoked disaster; not only was she scammed into being a guarantor, but clearly the Court had already ruled that she had no liability, so why should the bank not correct it for her?

Every time she went, she brought the Judgment, but the people there didn't care about any of that at all.

So, simply saying to find the People's Bank of China to change this Credit Record feels uncomfortable, because of this Bad Credit Record, her personal life has been affected.

Zhou Yi was instantly amused after hearing this; what is that saying about "searching high and low, only to find it without any effort"?

Isn't this the classic case that Lawyer Fang has been looking for!

Although it was only a commercial bank in Modu, and it wasn't big, but... it was very meaningful!

It was just that he wasn't clear about some details, so Zhou Yi quickly notified Liu Shiwen: "Let He Ling keep this... this girl, and give her an Intern spot."

Anyway, it's just an internship, it doesn't matter.

If the other party is not competent, then just handle it according to the Labor Law.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi went straight downstairs to drive to Lawyer Fang's law firm; you can't say these things over the phone, such matters only have meaning when discussed in person.

At this moment, inside the law firm, Fang Dazhuang was chatting with Zhou Xinran and a group of lawyers.

This was both a chat and a learning session; the profession of a lawyer, much like that of a doctor, requires one to learn as long as one lives.

"Teacher Fang, I've encountered some problems on my end. Tell me, if a person works during their lunch break, does that count as overtime?"

"Their schedule isn't nine-to-five; they start work at eight in the morning and finish at five in the afternoon, with one hour for lunch, but they are required to work while eating."

This was a case Zhou Xinran had recently taken on, a labor dispute.

Labor disputes are becoming more and more frequent now; many young people's view is that either you shouldn't stipulate any Labor Law, or if you do stipulate it, you must abide by it.

That is why such problems are appearing now.

Before Fang Dazhuang could even answer, the door over there was pushed wide open, and a handsome young man walked in.

He then laughed heartily at the doorway:

"Fang Dazhuang, I have some good news and some bad news here; which one would you like to hear first?"

However, just as Zhou Mouren finished speaking, he saw a crowd of people in the room turn their heads to look at him...

Why are there so many people here!

First update, there is still one more chapter; I won't link them today, I'll post them one chapter at a time.
