Chapter 475: He Doesn't Know Anything!
Perhaps in many instances, there isn't much buzz about A Yi online, but whenever there is news about him, it is bound to attract a lot of people's attention.
There are many trolls online, but there are just as many people who enjoy the chaos; seeing you in trouble can make me happy for a long time.
Perhaps it is because the previous two instances of drama resulted in many people apologizing, and Zhou Mouren didn't really take things too seriously, so many people feel they can do it again.
Or perhaps it is because some people feel that foreigners are just different; in short, there are quite a few people coming out to support them this time!
"Xianxian Loves Lemons": What's wrong with A Yi? Can't we talk about it if A Yi makes a mistake? I can only say that Chinese men are just like this; foreign boys are just more popular than you all, is there a problem with that?
"Someone like A Yi, yelling at others at the drop of a hat, who does he think he is? Or does he think all foreigners have to be like you people, kneeling and licking?"
"They are foreigners, after all. Let alone that they didn't make a mistake at all, even if there really were some issues, it wouldn't be A Yi's turn to speak up. That has to be handled by the laws of the United States, you legal blinds!"
This is a representative statement among them, and you don't say, regarding the legal jurisdiction over foreign nationals, there are indeed people online who don't know.
Fun fact: among our country's netizens, the proportion of undergraduates is very small. We think there are many, many college students, even to the point of saturation; in terms of employment, that is actually correct, it is indeed saturated.
But when you put it online, it becomes an information cocoon.
Not to say much more, back when that person Qian was arrested, didn't a bunch of fans still come out to "popularize the law," saying that the domestic side didn't have the right to arrest people, and that it had to be handled by Canada...
So, truthfully speaking, the judicial organs popularizing the law for a whole year is not as effective as a single hot-topic event...
Unsurprisingly, such remarks were soon retorted.
"Namu Gatling Bodhisattva": I am very surprised at how old you are if you don't even know about territorial jurisdiction. Since he is here, he must abide by the laws here, understand?"
"Also, don't talk nonsense without evidence. Whether A Yi is wrong or not, that is not known yet. At the very least, this blogger hasn't posted any evidence!"
Pusa Xiong still meant well; A Yi's drama is not so easy to eat. You can watch from the sidelines, or say neutral things, but don't easily jump in to stir up trouble.
However, after just a few rounds, Pusa Xiong retreated in defeat.
It's not about anything else, but you simply cannot reason with these people...
"They are foreigners, so it must be A Yi who is wrong, does that even need to be said? Why is it that Chinese men nowadays don't dare to admit it when they've done something?"
"We spent such a high price on publicity to have a good image internationally, and it was ruined by these people, yelling at will, eating dog meat, not environmentally friendly..."
Pusa Xiong: "..."
He felt that if he kept talking, he would be angered to death by the other party.
It is truly like what some remarks say: people in our country eating a bite of meat is not environmentally friendly, it is a crime, while people from the United States can do whatever they want and that is freedom...
One can only say that there are too many deep-rooted rumors, the most classic being that those people in the small island nation don't cut down trees, but buy our chopsticks and trees to sink to the bottom of the sea to wait, and so on.
If one were to just check the data published by the small island nation's Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, one would know who is buying more from whom.
So Pusa Xiong shut his mouth. When you encounter such idiots, if you continue to argue with them, then you are not normal either.
Stand out and start spraying directly? Then just wait, our President Zhou welcomes everyone to do so.
Modu, Zhao Yi, who just turned thirty-one this year, put down her phone. She is the "Xianxian Loves Lemons" who had a dispute with Pusa Xiong online.
In small places, at this age, one is already being urged to marry by all sorts of people, but in big metropolises, people who are not married at this age are everywhere.
Zhao Yi is a luxury goods sales clerk. Because of her profession, she comes into contact with many rich people. Influenced by what she sees and hears, her horizons have become much higher.
This is also a normal situation. After staying in some relatively luxurious service industries for a long time and coming into contact with more rich people, one will have the illusion that "I seem to be about the same as them."
She didn't have much worry; foreigners are just polite and civilized, they are just better than Chinese men, no problem.
What's wrong with A Yi? A Yi is also a Chinese man. I can't figure out how such a person can still have fans online.
She picked up her phone again, thinking about which girlfriend to ask out for a meal. How much she eats is not important, the main thing is taking photos...
…………
Jingzhou, Zhou Mouren saw the news himself this time. He really thought for a long time and couldn't understand why there are people with such thoughts.
Is there any benefit to belittling everything about one's own country into the dirt and then praising everything about other countries?
There are quite a few people online speaking up for him, but there are also quite a few scolding him, saying that he has disgraced the country.
There is a feeling that these trolls online seem to have poor memory; as long as he doesn't do anything for a period of time, they will feel that everything is fine.
Perhaps it is because there are too many people spraying every day. After all, during this period of time, there are all kinds of hot searches, one after another, and people are constantly being hung up and sprayed.
In some place, a security guard beat a dog to death again; this is outrageous, one must human-flesh search them, one must scold them to death!
So this time, discovering that someone actually dared to yell at a foreign master, they naturally had to jump out and spray once.
And because of various reasons, it is particularly easy to trigger opposition on this issue. The two sides mocking each other, it was quite lively.
Zhou Yi shook his head and took out his phone, intending to call Fang Dazhuang, but after thinking about it, Fang Dazhuang has been busy with that case recently.
It just so happens, don't those cattle and horses in the Legal Department always say, when will they also get to do a Net Cleaning Action to have some fun.
Then let them have some fun!
He didn't call anyone, and Zhou Yi just strolled over to the Legal Department. The one on duty today was Huo Pengfei.
"This is also Property Management being irresponsible, but you cannot refuse to pay the Property Fee because of this reason; you can use other methods..."
Zhou Yi listened quietly for a while. By comparison, there are actually more trivial matters in life: upstairs neighbors making noise, bratty children, keeping pets, and so on.
Taking things seriously is too much trouble, but if you don't take things seriously, the other party is very arrogant, so the Company's Legal Department has now formed a fixed set of processing methods.
After finishing the consultation, Huo Pengfei stretched, and then saw Zhou Yi standing at the door.
"President Zhou, you're here. Hurry and sit down. Is there something you need?"
"Oh, a small matter. Didn't you guys say last time that you also wanted to learn from Fang Dazhuang? Do something bigger. It's a coincidence, this time we really ran into one."
As he spoke, Zhou Yi found the relevant topic on his phone and handed it to Huo Pengfei opposite him.
Huo Pengfei took the phone and started reading slowly, his eyes then starting to glow, exactly the same as the situation when Fang Dazhuang first found out about Zhou Mouren being subjected to Internet Violence...
"President Zhou, this... are we really allowed to do this?"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Of course, it's just that the scale definitely won't be too big. There are only so many people who jumped out to scold."
"That's enough!" Huo Pengfei said with an excited face.
It doesn't matter if there are fewer people; anyway, he just wanted to do something like this!
Practice makes perfect; next time we encounter it, we'll have experience.
Nothing more to say, time to get to work. Huo Pengfei made a phone call to the other few workhorses, telling them: a big job is coming!
"It's just that, President Zhou, if our Legal Department is all busy with this, our Company's Legal Aid work cannot stop. Do you think we should hire a few more people?" Huo Pengfei then said.
Indeed, Liu Shiwen had already brought this up last time; it seems that currently, in the entire Company, only the Legal Department is working overtime...
"Then let's hire. I will speak with President He and have them draft a plan. Also, if you have any suitable candidates, you can recommend them to President He."
Previous legal staff all came through recommendations; this time, since we need to hire more, we must definitely follow the formal recruitment process.
Everything seemed very calm; Jingzhou was still that same Jingzhou.
Han Juan kept hanging out with her boyfriend. She was truly very happy now; wherever she went, she brought a foreigner along, looking as if she were a cut above others.
Also because of this boyfriend, she had arguments with many people, because she felt those people did not respect Charlie.
This kind of mentality is relatively common in many universities; the treatment of international students has always been particularly good...
On the internet, both sides were arguing even more fiercely. Many people's eyes were fixed on A Yi's account; they really wanted to know what A Yi would do this time.
Collecting evidence is one thing, but President Zhou's tradition cannot be lost.
Soon, Huo Pengfei issued a Serious Statement in the name of Tenda.
"Recently, some people have posted information online slandering and defaming our Company's boss, Zhou Yi, which has already caused a great impact..."
It was no different from the Serious Statements of other companies before; it even made people suspect that these companies all used the same template...
Demanding the deletion of the relevant information and an apology.
Just like what Zhou Yi did before: I truly want to send you inside, but before sending you inside, I will definitely give you many chances.
You only need to seize one chance, and you will be fine.
You can refer to those who cowered instantly after receiving a Lawyer's Letter; as long as you apologize, then Zhou Mouren is not a pervert, it is impossible to say I must make you go to jail.
But if I have spoken to you and you still have no reaction, once my Legal Aid action begins, then don't talk about this or that.
Just do what needs to be done!
…………
Another wonderful night; after being with Charlie, it felt like every day passed very quickly.
It's just that sometimes it feels strange; if it were a local, then saying you can't look at their phone means they have a guilty conscience.
But if it is a foreigner, saying you can't look at their phone makes one feel that this is mutual respect...
Anyway, sometimes thinking about it is really interesting.
Casually picking up the phone to take a look, she was stunned for a moment. How could there be such high popularity in such a short time?
The content posted before might only be seen by very few people after a day; what happened this time?
In this day and age, everyone has a dream of being an internet celebrity. Han Juan is the same; she saw many internet celebrities online who found a foreign partner and then posted related videos to become popular.
Her next step was also thinking of doing this, but the video hadn't even been posted yet, and the popularity was already this high?
After scrolling for a long time, she finally understood: that man who argued with Charlie is A Yi?
Being from Jingzhou, she knew A Yi relatively well: a fanatic for getting to the bottom of things, known as the Jingzhou Tyrant, or Zhou Tyrant for short...
At this moment, Han Juan's feeling was very strange. On one hand, she was a little worried, but on the other hand, she felt this was an opportunity!
A Yi is a big internet celebrity; just by leeching off some popularity, she would have traffic!
She naturally saw that Serious Statement. Today, when this thing has already been played out, everyone is very curious: will these people listen?
After hesitating, Han Juan still chose to respond. Apologizing is definitely out of the question; can his A Yi's obsession with getting to the bottom of things really extend to a foreigner?
Who doesn't know that foreigners are to be treated with preferential treatment!
"I didn't expect that it was A Yi, but I will not delete my post. He did indeed yell at my boyfriend, and it made my boyfriend very uneasy at the time, telling me he was very scared."
"So I believe I did nothing wrong!"
"He is a big internet celebrity, but that doesn't mean everything he does is right. If you are wrong, you should admit it. Each of us must maintain a good image in front of foreigners!"
She felt there was no problem with herself, and she didn't talk nonsense or do anything; everything she said was the truth.
As for that camera... she had already forgotten.
Tenda's statement still had some effect; at least a portion of people chose to apologize, but others who scolded the most fiercely, such as Zhao Yi, simply didn't care.
I just feel that you acting like this is a disgrace to our country's people. Why can't I criticize you? People are from the United States, and their culture is different from ours.
People cannot yell on the street; this is a bad habit, and we need to correct it!
In Luzhou, Pei Dongchang also saw that statement, but he didn't feel he had done anything wrong.
That is just A Yi; I was only pointing it out, and I didn't scold anyone or do anything.
On the contrary, he felt the fewer people like A Yi there are, the better.
Forgive others when you can; being obsessed with getting to the bottom of things will only bring more hatred.
And in such an atmosphere, Lawyer Fang finally finished the necessary procedures through an Investigation Warrant.
For the Police Station, doing this was truly too thoughtful. With a Court Investigation Order, this is the most legal procedure; no one can say anything.
After all, how should I put it, it involved a foreigner...
Inside the Tenda office, Zhou Yi checked the information sent by Lawyer Fang: two people, one named Han Juan, one named Charlie Rosen.
For some reason, Zhou Yi felt the latter's name didn't sound like the United States, but rather like that country that sent its king to the guillotine...
To prevent language communication problems from happening again, Zhou Yi specifically found a helper from the Company, a girl who had studied abroad for many years before joining Tenda and had worked as a translator.
This was also an excellent talent recruited after Tenda became famous; she was the kind of talent whose excellence was visible to the naked eye.
The young lady was named Lan Xiaoyu; she was a little nervous after entering Zhou Yi's office.
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "It's fine, no need to be nervous, just communicate according to what I say."
Lan Xiaoyu nodded and began to prepare.
The call was dialed. This time, they contacted that so-called Charlie directly; after all, from the Monitoring, it was seen that he was the one who took the camera.
Not long after, the call was answered, and a relatively stiff voice sounded: "Hello, this is Charlie. May I ask what is the matter?"
Lan Xiaoyu immediately began to communicate, stating her identity as a translator hired by someone else, and then asked the other party if they had obtained a Sports Camera.
At their home in the Small Residential District, Charlie hurriedly called over his girlfriend in Jingzhou, Han Juan: "Han, what's going on? The other party called and said they were that person from that day, asking if I took the camera."
"How did they get our personal information? Did your police leak it? God, don't your departments know anything about privacy protection? Can they just leak personal information like that?"
Upon hearing this, Han Juan was stunned. A camera?
She had already forgotten about the matter, and yet, after so many days had passed, the other party had actually called again.
And it wasn't the police calling, it was that A Yi person!
She was extremely sensitive to this kind of situation where she felt "looked down upon by foreigners," and she instantly felt furious.
It was just like seeing one's fellow countryman lose face abroad; she felt these people were throwing away the country's dignity.
"Charlie, you have to understand, things like this happen often here. They don't do things according to the law, but it doesn't matter, I'll communicate with him!"
Picking up the phone, Han Juan said: "Who are you, and where did you get our personal information?"
A woman started speaking, so Lan Xiaoyu hurriedly looked at Zhou Yi, who reached out and took the phone: "I am the person who was sitting next to you that day. I obtained your personal information through legal channels."
"Miss, I have now checked the Monitoring, and it was your friend who took my camera. Please have him return it now; I have enough evidence here to prove it."
"If you still refuse to give it back, I will take every legal measure to protect my legitimate rights and interests!"
The person sitting next to them... wasn't that just A Yi!
Looking at her boyfriend in front of her, he had indeed taken that camera and hadn't returned it, but Han Juan felt that even if he had taken it, you couldn't talk like that!
"What do you mean by talking like that? It sounds like you're saying we stole your things!"
"You say you have evidence, so you have evidence? I'll say it again, Charlie didn't take it, and he doesn't care about your camera!"
"You just take our private information as you please, right? Don't you know that foreigners are very sensitive about this? Just you wait!"
After saying this, she hung up the phone with a *snap*, leaving Zhou Yi completely bewildered.
What is the other party trying to do? Privacy or not, I specifically went through the long way of using the Court to investigate; is there any problem with that?
But I suppose this counts as a refusal, right?
Zhou Yi sent the relevant call recording to Fang Dazhuang, who replied with two words: "Got it!"
It had already been made clear that the Monitoring showed the other party had taken it, yet they still denied it; now there was enough evidence.
Then, let's just wait slowly.
Inside the law firm, Fang Dazhuang also smiled as he looked at the audio evidence in his hand. He didn't take the long way around just because he was being pedantic.
In foreign-related cases, one cannot be too careful, especially regarding procedure.
Many Criminal Defense Lawyers in the country are actually learning from how things are done abroad; usually, it's impossible to find good points of contention in the actual Evidence Chain.
Therefore, many Criminal Defense Lawyers focus obsessively on procedure.
It's actually the same in the United States, which has given rise to the profession of "audit brothers," taking money for all sorts of things...
Now everything is complete; it is time to submit the evidence for Case Filing!
…………
Looking at her boyfriend in front of her, Han Juan said: "It's okay, Charlie, the other party might file a Lawsuit for this camera."
"A Lawsuit?" The black man opposite her was stunned for a moment: "He actually wants to file a Lawsuit?"
He had taken things so many times before and never encountered anyone wanting to file a Lawsuit!
"Yes, a Lawsuit."
Seeing that her boyfriend seemed to have a big reaction, Han Juan hurriedly said: "It's fine, at most we lose the case and just give the thing back to him."
Charlie nodded, feeling unlucky in his heart; why did he run into something like this this time?
"I just feel that my personal information has been leaked too seriously here. Han, I want to contact our embassy..."
After a good deal of comforting, and fueled by anger and the desire to chase clout, Han Juan posted relevant content online again.
"His things were lost, and he says Charlie took them, but Charlie didn't take them at all. How could someone like him do such a thing? Everyone thinks he's like a local Chinese man!"
"Charlie is still worried to this day; our personal information was leaked for no reason. A stranger can just get our contact information and details. Doesn't the country say it protects personal information?"
"But it doesn't matter, Charlie has already planned to contact their embassy. This is no small matter; if one isn't careful, it could become a diplomatic issue!"
"Everyone doesn't need to worry about us; we are perfectly fine right now. To put everyone's mind at ease, I will hold a livestream in the next two days to show everyone how a couple with cultural differences lives."
In Guang City, Yuan Jie's blood pressure hadn't come down for the past few days.
It really hadn't come down. She lived here, so she naturally knew what the situation with these people was.
And yet, first they were there saying A Yi yelled at them, then they were here saying their personal privacy was violated, and they were even looking for an embassy...
What era is this, and why are there still people with such muddled heads? Do foreigners not commit crimes?
What kind of people were those who received the Death Penalty a few years ago!
The key is that there are still people on the internet jumping out to analyze the culture and laws of the United States for you, to prove that they indeed have such and such traditions.
For example, what you can't do in public, and then they mock the situation in the country...
A Yi suddenly became a negative example. Under such public opinion, it suddenly seemed like many people were criticizing A Yi, feeling that he had lost face for us.
Yuan Jie didn't refute anything anymore; whenever anyone scolded A Yi, she would just say: "Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Is A Yi the type of person to suffer a loss?
A few more days passed, and Han Juan felt that her life had gotten on the right track. Posting videos, doing livestreams, and riding this wave of popularity—the number of followers was truly skyrocketing!
Han Juan was already getting a bit carried away. Professional talent agencies were contacting her for influencer incubation, and both video view counts and livestream viewership were skyrocketing!
As for the content, it was fixed; many influencer couples did this, talking about the differences caused by the cultures of the two countries—that was the video.
And Charlie, this black man from the United States, also started to gain fame because he was trashing the United States in his videos and livestreams, and then praising this place.
And he kept "I love China" on the tip of his tongue.
This is truly the secret to traffic nowadays: Foreigner + Praising the Rabbit = Making money.
Many people watching livestreams and short videos don't think too much; as long as you praise this country, as long as you love this country, we are all one family.
And so, after this period of time, Charlie had actually become a somewhat famous internet celebrity!
In the words of many people, how could such a foreigner do anything uncivilized? It must be that person A Yi who did something wrong!
People who are too serious are not good people to begin with, let alone A Yi.
It was another bright afternoon, and the two started a live stream.
"Hey, my brothers of different skin colors, how are you all..."
Charlie was very at ease in front of the Camera, perhaps black brothers really do have a talent for rap; whatever he said sounded like rap.
The two worked together and the show's effect was indeed excellent; many people wouldn't pay attention to what was going on behind the scenes anyway, as long as it was fun to watch.
A Yi, A Yi is now like a joke.
Just as some experts said, if he doesn't break the law, A Yi has no way to be serious.
You can't just go to jail for saying one bad thing about him, who does he think he is?
"Family, please don't mention that A Yi in my live stream. Everyone, first take a look at our bar; the taste is really special, it's what Charlie and the others often drink when they have parties."
"The original price was over 1,900, but now it's only 88, and if you buy one bottle, you get another one free!"
"Stop spamming A Yi's name. We didn't do anything wrong, we have a clear conscience, so we aren't afraid of him at all. If he were in the right, he would have done something long ago, right?"
Han Juan kept talking to the Camera, but someone in the live stream was saying they were "very criminal," which made Han Juan very uncomfortable.
"Charlie is a foreigner and is 'very criminal'? Don't talk about it being fine; even if something really happened, who could manage him!"
Just at this moment, a knock on the door sounded.
"Family, someone is knocking on the door. I'll go open it and let Charlie chat with you for a while."
After saying this, Han Juan got up to open the door, and Charlie started speaking his broken Mandarin again.
They were in the middle of a happy conversation when someone saw a group of people appear in the live stream frame; in front was Han Juan, and behind her were people wearing uniforms.
"Hey, hey, brother, look behind you quickly, what's going on? I think I see the police!"
"Did I see that right? Isn't Charlie a foreigner? Can our police manage him?"
Some people expressed doubt, but as those people walked over, the live stream room boiled over.
It really was the police!
And Han Juan seemed to be trying hard to say something.
Charlie also heard the sound behind him, turned his head to look, and was instantly stunned.
What is a world-famous painting? This is a world-famous painting.
"Charlie Rosen? We are from the Guangming Branch. We are serving a Criminal Case Filing Notice from the Guangming District Court. We are now legally placing you under Criminal Detention!"
After the police finished speaking, a translator nearby stepped forward to translate; there are specific regulations for this, and for foreign criminal suspects, there must be a translator.
Charlie was completely dumbfounded after hearing the translator's words. How did this involve a Criminal Case!
Instead, Han Juan spoke up: "No, comrade, did you make a mistake? Charlie is a foreigner, and he hasn't committed any crime!"
"On what grounds are you taking him away? He doesn't understand anything, can't you ask me if you have any questions?"
"We are still live streaming here!"
The lead police officer said: "He is suspected of Embezzlement and has currently been hit with a Private Prosecution. The Guangming District Court has already initiated a Case Filing. If you pick something up and refuse to return it, would you say that is a crime?"
Han Juan was completely confused. Does our country even have such a crime?
She turned her head to look at Charlie, only to find that her boyfriend had started cursing incessantly, saying he hadn't committed a crime, and had even gotten into a conflict with the police in an instant!
A 7,000-character long chapter, goodnight everyone. Thanks to Wenchidage, Ji Lenger, Xiao Shufu, another newbie, and the brother who lent fire to light a nuke. Thank you, brothers, for the tips, thank you.
Also, I'll say this: this plot will end tomorrow. There are too many restrictions, it's very uncomfortable to write, and I don't even feel good about it myself. It's better to write domestic plots properly...
