Chapter 405: There is plenty of employment discrimination; if you have the ability, go be serious about all of it

The warm spring sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, illuminating the faces of the three people sitting around the round table chatting.

As the saying goes, listening to your words is like listening to your words; Zhou Yi pondered there for a long time before finally opening his mouth to say:

"So, Lawyer Fang, actually, about this matter, it can be litigated, right?"

Lawyer Fang rolled his eyes and said, "In your eyes, there are only two legal issues, right? One is that it can be litigated, and the other is that it cannot be litigated."

Zhou Yi chuckled and said nothing; isn't that how it is?

Although he had gained an understanding of many laws under Lawyer Fang's tutelage, he had never systematically studied the legal system, so it could only be considered superficial.

And so, he had reached such a conclusion.

In fact, for many ordinary people, this is their view of the law.

Either it is illegal, or it is not illegal; isn't that how it is?

Zhou Xinran, sitting nearby, suddenly spoke up, a certain smile in her eyes as she said: "Teacher Fang, isn't the law in your eyes even simpler? Either you go to jail, or you don't go to jail..."

Ah, this... Zhou Yi looked at Lawyer Fang; there was nothing wrong with that statement.

However, Lawyer Fang did not fall silent as Zhou Xinran had imagined, but instead said leisurely: "Xinran, you are wrong about that."

Having said this, Lawyer Fang took a sip of his spiked coffee, smiled with great satisfaction, and then said: "Besides going to jail and not going to jail, there is another kind, and that is, the Right to Life being legally deprived..."

What the heck? This last sentence sounded a bit pedantic, and Zhou Yi didn't react for a moment.

But after all, he had gained an understanding of many personal rights involving Criminal Law by following Lawyer Fang; what the Right to Life is, to put it bluntly, is your life.

So your life being legally deprived... isn't that just getting shot? Or perhaps an injection?

As expected, is this the difference between understanding the law and not understanding it?

Zhou Xinran was completely stunned; the sentence she had thought about for a long time was directly parried back by Lawyer Fang, and the key was that she had no way to refute it.

Is an immediate execution of the Death Penalty going to jail? Of course not.

Is that not going to jail? It doesn't seem to be that either...

And so the topic successfully veered off course, from "whether one can file a Tort Litigation based on the Employment Equality Right" to "the sixty-eight capital crimes, under what circumstances one will die."

…………

The chat ended, and Zhou Yi drove all the way back to the Guangming Peak Residential Quarter.

Greeting a few neighbors he recognized, Zhou Yi returned home. To be honest, chatting about this matter with Lawyer Fang was just to verify the conjecture in his heart.

To really say that because someone else was discriminated against in employment, he had to intervene or do something, that would be purely insane.

He wasn't an Employee of the Company, so there was no reason to help, and furthermore, he didn't know them at all, nor could he fleece them.

Actually, lying on the sofa is a kind of enjoyment.

Zhou Yi was scrolling through the news casually, but things in this world are just that coincidental; the moment he flipped through, he saw that news about "not hiring Handong people."

Of course, this is actually the power of Big Data.

This power will perform "precision pushing" based on your preferences for certain things, but if anyone really thinks that all pushes are because of data, then they are too young.

When you encounter content that you keep getting pushed despite expressing your "lack of interest," you will understand that Big Data and such are all just business.

He clicked on it to take a look, and unsurprisingly, it was another bunch of Keyboard Warriors arguing there.

Of course, there was no shortage of people talking about "Offer Invitation."

Before Zhou Yi possessed the system, he was also a veteran Keyboard Warrior, although he knew in his heart that arguing online actually doesn't settle anything.

But for those who like to argue, that is, the "trolls," encountering a topic they clearly know about but not saying anything feels like a nerd who loves action movies discovering that a goddess who only did solo work is now doing solo work but won't let him watch.

How could one possibly hold back?

Especially one named "Xiaotongtong," who looked to have extremely strong combat power; the thread was almost reaching the sky.

"So, you guys say so much, does the enterprise not even have this freedom? Then who would open a Company? It's nothing more than that regional discrimination shouldn't happen, but this is a moral issue."

"Forget it, one or two of you are here talking to me about the law; if you have the ability, go litigate! Go say it, and avoid this Company; you can talk until the sky falls, but do you think the Company will pay you any mind!"

"As long as their salary and benefits are high, who cares about these things."

A series of statements directly left many people speechless.

Because it is indeed like this; online, we might talk about the law or something when debating with others, but to really be serious about it in reality, let's just forget it.

Not to mention such a matter; even if that Company did so, what could happen?

"The emperor isn't anxious, but the eunuchs are!"

Inside Xilai Company, Ren Tong, who was sitting in the office, was constantly typing on her phone.

Why was she arguing everywhere with others online? It's very simple; because she is the HR of Xilai Company, and she was the one who sent out those inappropriate words at the time.

Sometimes, many workers feel that it seems the Company's HRs have forgotten their own status as workers and will stand on the Company's side at the drop of a hat.

Actually, this is understandable, because that is what personnel does.

The leaders above tell them to lay off staff; do you think they can refuse?

All kinds of talks, all kinds of suppressing severance packages, all kinds of making the other party not seek Arbitration—these are all jobs HRs do, and in the end, they get laid off themselves.

If you dare to ask for a higher package, the boss will even say, "Isn't this what you said yourself at the beginning?"

Because they are "managing people," many personnel staff get lost; after all, they are either firing people or hiring people every day, and Ren Tong is that kind of lost personnel Manager.

She just felt that these people online were really full and had nothing to do, exposing and avoiding the company; this is the Company's freedom, okay?

The boss just doesn't like Handong people, so those whose ancestral home is Handong are not hired; if this is a problem, then nobody should open a Company in the future.

Could it be that one opens a Company to add trouble to oneself?

After replying to several people and preparing to take a break, she discovered that there was an extra reply below, a bit long.

"I don't think it can be said like that; even if it is an enterprise, it cannot have absolute freedom in recruitment, just like our freedom of speech, and besides..."

This paragraph was really long; Zhou Yi typed for a full ten minutes, mainly wanting to express clearly that doing this is wrong and also illegal.

Ren Tong, who was already in a fit of anger, couldn't help it and quickly replied: "Oh, it's illegal, so what? Keyboard Warrior, why don't you go litigate? If you don't have the ability, stop b-b-ing!"

As a personnel Manager, Ren Tong's feeling was that the current job is becoming more and more troublesome.

Everyone keeps bringing up the law at the drop of a hat, so why don't you go find a place to talk about your law and see who pays you any mind.

Having just written for ten minutes, Zhou Yi was actually quite agitated while writing.

That's just how online arguments are; one carries strong emotions while writing.

The result was such a reply, and in an instant, Zhou Yi felt a bit numb—what exactly is wrong with this internet, can't one have a hearty, uninhibited debate anymore?

But he still typed: "So, just because no one goes to sue, that's a reason for companies to break the law at will?"

Ren Tong was so angry she laughed upon seeing this sentence; she was very curious about what kind of weirdo this guy calling himself "Nitpicker Zhou" was, always hanging the law on his lips.

Even those lawyers who do Self-Media aren't like this.

"Sure enough, people have names that match them. Let me tell you, there are tons of strange rejection reasons on Lianzhi Recruitment and Boss Direct Chat; are they all illegal? Even if they are all illegal, so what? Are you going to make them all close their doors?"

"If you've got the ability, then go be a stickler about all of them! Who do you think you are? Even that A Yi wouldn't do something like this!"

This was Ren Tong's thought; she had actually watched those so-called stickler videos by the internet celebrity A Yi, and her feeling was that if there truly were no benefits, the other party wouldn't possibly participate.

For example, the one most talked about was the large-scale Litigation during his first internet exposure.

But what was the result? He was helping Employees, and it was the same later on; many times he helped with Litigation, it was for Employees, and aside from Employees, it was just matters he encountered himself.

Perhaps these are all being a stickler, but this internet celebrity A Yi has always been seeking fame!

This is not just Ren Tong's view; it is also the view of many people online right now.

It's very simple; look at how he's been a stickler up to now—his Company has been hyped up to what extent, called the true hometown for Laborers, and there are even many Self-Media outlets specifically coming to praise it.

To tell the truth, when they found out A Yi was doing it to make his own Company more famous, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

This isn't much different from everyone's expectations; if you do so many things, you must be aiming for something.

After saying this, Ren Tong didn't want to see the other party's reply anymore and blocked him directly!

She had also mastered this move to perfection: say your piece and then block, to make you die of anger.

Over here, Zhou Mouren had typed a few more lines to reply, then stared at the "cannot reply" prompt in a daze—had he been blocked again?

But no matter how he thought about it, it felt uncomfortable, especially that last sentence from the other party—what does "even if they are all illegal, so what" mean? It's the same old tune: if enough people break the law, it doesn't count as breaking the law, right!

But what could he do? Go file a Lawsuit against others?

That was definitely a joke; the subject of a Civil Litigation must be qualified, and he wasn't that discriminated-against Employee, so how could he sue?

Complain to the labor inspection department?

That didn't seem like a good way to solve it either.

There was one way, though: if he could disguise himself as a Laborer looking for work, and after the other party rejected him with a similar reason, he could then use the Right to Equal Employment to launch Legal Aid.

But Zhou Yi always thought a bit too much.

As the other party said, there are oceans of such weird companies online; if he only sued one, he would definitely be told, "Look, aren't you just being a stickler? There are so many companies, why are you only being a stickler about this one?"

Of course, he didn't like hearing that.

But he couldn't use the Company Legal Aid Fund, and relying solely on the little money he had in his hands, it was impossible to support such a large-scale Litigation.

So what to do...

Just as he was pondering, suddenly, Zhou Yi saw three long-lost lines of text appear before his eyes!

Choice 1: This is purely meddling in other people's business; it's not worth it at all!

Choice 2: Who says you can't be a stickler about all of them? Go find them one by one, and use your fists to make those company bosses realize what it means to be a stickler!

Choice 3: Every right is an indispensable part of us; it's time to let everyone realize the Right to Equal Employment!

Damn, looking at these three choices, Zhou Yi felt so excited!

He was truly so excited; the last time the system upgraded its tasks, it threw out a small goal of enterprise development special funds and then disappeared.

He even thought Grandpa System had passed away.

But he didn't expect that your grandpa is still your grandpa; Grandpa System doesn't show up on normal days, but once he does, he plays for such high stakes!

Actually, he really wanted to try Choice 2—using his fists to be a stickler with those company bosses seemed like being a stickler too.

But after thinking about it, he decided against it; in a society ruled by law, if they couldn't solve those companies, couldn't they solve him, Zhou Mouren?

If he really beat them up one by one, then Zhou Yi probably wouldn't be able to be a stickler anymore in the future.

However, this familiar feeling had returned.

He, Zhou Mouren, could have his status today all because of his own efforts!

"System, Choice 3!"

"One million has arrived in the Virtual Account!"

"Event: Company recruitment arbitrary rejection? Learn about the Right to Equal Employment has been activated."

Event Name: Company recruitment arbitrary rejection? Learn about the Right to Equal Employment has been activated

Event Requirement: Companies use various reasons to arbitrarily reject applicants and believe there is no error; you need to make them realize that there is always someone who will be a stickler!

Current Event Progress: 0%

Grandpa System is awesome; before, he was still wondering what to do about the lack of money, but now that he had money, there were really too many ways.

However, this time it seemed inconvenient for him to go apply for jobs himself.

And it wasn't just inconvenient for him, it was also inconvenient for his Company's Employees to go test it.

After all, the Company's Employees all had Labor Contracts; if they simply said they were applying for jobs to test and film videos, that definitely wouldn't feel right.

That in itself would be a form of disrespect to the Labor Contract!

It's just a pity that this benefit couldn't be given to the Company this time.

But without Company Employees, where could he find suitable "oxen and horses"?

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yi made a call to He Ling; she was the Company's HR Director, so she was naturally very familiar with this aspect.

"General Manager Zhou, let me confirm: you want to find some people who have a sense of justice, don't have a Labor Contract on them, are preparing to look for work, but don't ask for much money, right?" He Ling said.

"You could say that, but the money can be a bit more, it doesn't matter."

Although what he actually said just now was "beasts of burden," having the System-daddy backing him up is just great.

"That's easy to handle; we have so many universities here in Jingzhou, you can pick from a bunch of college students!"

Damn, he actually forgot about college students, those beasts of burden, and he was a beast of burden himself, too.

"Then let's go find some college students; I'll go myself!"

I hear that college life is pretty good these days.
