Chapter 495: Turns Out It's a Female Streamer, How Extravagant!

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi felt like something was not quite right.

Bringing her back home for the Lunar New Year, this seemed... it still seemed like there was a bit of a problem.

Sigh, the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge, why worry about these things? The main thing is that he, Zhou Mouren, is very confused himself right now, especially regarding matters of the heart.

It's just like in that movie, where Wang Duoyu suddenly has to spend a billion; he really feels particularly lost.

But there is still some time before National Day, so there is no need to consider it for now; he will take things one step at a time.

Living in Yuefu Residential Quarter is still comfortable, and he doesn't know why, but when he didn't have a house, he would always fantasize about living in a big house, a really big house.

But when he finally had a large flat, he felt that living in such a big house all by himself wasn't that comfortable.

Thinking about it carefully, people are really quite interesting.

The benefit of living in Yuefu Residential Quarter is that one can chat with various neighbors every day, especially kind-hearted people like Liu Nainai, who knows everything that happens in the Small Residential District.

For example, there is an old man in the building next door whose situation is similar to Liu Nainai's; his son is abroad and basically rarely comes back.

As it turns out, the old man hired a nanny, and then last month the old man passed away, leaving a will that gifted the house to that nanny.

And now, trouble has arisen; while the old man was alive, his son didn't see him many times, but now that the old man is gone, the son has returned just as the nanny is holding the will and demanding to inherit the house.

Liu Nainai doesn't know what she sensed, but when she told this story, she was very detailed, saying that the son returned and didn't care about his father's funeral, but instead fought for the house first.

After all, it is a house in Yuefu Residential Quarter, and such a unit is not cheap.

Now it is said that it has become a complete mess and is going to Court.

Zhou Yi smiled at the time and said that such matters must certainly go through the Court.

He had heard too many such stories from Fang Dazhuang; basically, children will never acknowledge such a will.

Even if you talk until you're blue in the face, you want to take away a house worth millions when you are neither kin nor friend? Keep dreaming!

Therefore, it must go through the Court.

Regarding these matters, Zhou Yi could only sigh.

Tenda has been doing a great job in all aspects of work recently, but Zhou Yi still spends the most time at the Legal Department every day.

For no other reason than that work is too boring, and there are more stories at the Legal Department.

Tenda's several hundred Employees can truly contribute all sorts of cases, and some of them sound outrageous when you hear them.

For example, there was an Employee who picked up a pet dog; this thing is not like a mobile phone—it would be fine if you didn't pick it up, but once you do, you are responsible for feeding it.

Feeding it costs money, and then when the dog's owner shows up and asks him for the feeding expenses, they turn the tables and ask who told him to feed it in the first place.

This is why we always sweep the snow from our own doorsteps nowadays; some people really cannot be treated as human beings.

Because if you pick it up and don't feed it, leading to the dog's death, you still have to bear the responsibility...

Today is another good day, and Zhou Yi came to the Legal Department for his inspection as usual.

The Lawyer on duty today is again Huo Pengfei; old Huo is now handy at handling all kinds of problems, having quite the air of Fang Dazhuang.

"You say you were bitten by your neighbor's dog, and now the other party refuses to admit it was their dog that bit you? Is there Monitoring video?"

"Oh, the Monitoring video didn't capture it? Then you are in trouble; key evidence is missing, but it depends on how you feel—do you really want to be serious about this?"

"If you do, then write an application, get it approved by President Zhou, and then go extract the dog's DNA for identification..."

Huo Pengfei spoke with such joy; Tenda is truly a paradise. Those cases from the past that couldn't be handled are really not problems now.

Why? Take being bitten by someone else's dog, for instance; if the other party refuses to admit it, generally speaking, without Monitoring video, it is really particularly difficult to provide proof.

DNA identification is the most direct method, but why do so few people do it?

The answer is simple: this identification fee might be higher than your medical expenses...

And in Court, if you want to demand that the other party bear the identification fee, I can only tell you: it is difficult, especially difficult.

So the question arises: everyone is not a fool; if it only costs five thousand to treat the injury, why spend eight thousand on an identification fee to fight this lawsuit?

In the past, Huo Pengfei would give advice based on the situation, fearing that clients would worry that the Lawyer was specifically trying to make them spend more money.

Now... just do whatever is fastest and most accurate; there is no need to worry about money at all.

Watching the other party leave with profuse thanks, Huo Pengfei stretched, and then saw Zhou Yi at the door.

"President Zhou is here, please sit down!"

During this period, Zhou Yi has been coming to the Legal Department every day, so Huo Pengfei was not surprised.

Moreover, with Zhou Yi here, he can directly approve some cases that need to go to Court, without the trouble of submitting reports upward.

In a short while, two more people finished their consultations; they were all trivial matters.

But the consultation is very useful—not for now, but if problems arise in the future, the evidence will be easy to secure.

Huo Pengfei took a sip of water, looked at the door again, and then said to Zhou Yi beside him:

"President Zhou, look, is that... is that President Liang?"

As he spoke, Huo Pengfei pointed to the figure at the door.

Zhou Yi also looked up; he hadn't noticed just now, but at this moment he immediately saw a middle-aged man walking back and forth there, just not coming in.

He was also a bit surprised and said: "It really is Lao Liang. What is he doing here? It seems he has something on his mind, but if he has something on his mind, why doesn't he come in? What is he doing?"

Lao Liang, Liang Jiannan, is the director in charge of logistics for the Company; he has always been very dedicated and diligent in his work.

Zhou Yi was just about to call out, but after thinking about it, he went to the door and opened it, looking at Liang Jiannan who was pacing there, and said in a low voice: "Lao Liang, what are you doing? Come in quickly!"

He has learned a bit now; for instance, in Lao Liang's situation, hesitating at the door for a long time, wanting to come in but not doing so, there must be something that is not easy to say out loud.

Just like Yin Dajie back then, when her ex-husband cheated, she also chose to consult a Lawyer only after much hesitation.

This is all very normal.

As the saying goes, family scandals should not be made public; reaching the point of consulting a Lawyer means that normal communication can no longer solve the problem.

But it is very hard to open one's mouth to tell a Lawyer about such private and shameful matters; after all, a Lawyer is an outsider.

Just like many people who have illnesses in private areas and are too embarrassed to see a doctor.

Actually, in this regard, you can only choose to trust the professional ethics of others; to put it bluntly, when you go to consult a Lawyer, just treat the Lawyer as a talking tool.

Doctors... are probably about the same.

This isn't looking down on anyone, but as a Lawyer, he really hopes you can tell the whole story completely, because many problems lie in those details.

To say nothing else, many of the opponents Zhou Mouren has encountered before, when narrating to their lawyers, would make themselves sound very reasonable out of a desire to save face...

And then the Lawyer would be misled.

So, right now, Zhou Yi wants to take care of the other party's face and try his best not to let others know.

Liang Jiannan was hesitating, but when he heard this and looked back, he saw his own boss standing at the door.

He hesitated again, but still made a decision; if you stick your head out, you get a blade, and if you pull it back, you get a blade—if it's embarrassing, then it's embarrassing, but the problem still has to be solved.

Therefore, Liang Jiannan walked over, a habitual smile appearing on his face: "General Manager Zhou, you are here too."

Zhou Yi glanced at him and said ungraciously: "Of course I'm here. What's going on with you? You've been hovering at the door for a long time, a grown man acting all hesitant."

"Alright, come in!"

After saying this, he opened the door to let Liang Jiannan in, then followed him inside.

Both of them sat down, and only then did Zhou Yi say: "Alright, Lao Liang, there are no outsiders here, feel free to say whatever is on your mind."

As his voice fell, Huo Pengfei, who was to the side, looked at Zhou Yi and hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say the words, "General Manager Zhou, wouldn't it be better if you recused yourself?"

He felt that with General Manager Zhou's petty nature, if he were to say that, he would probably be fired the next day for walking through the door with his right foot first.

What? You say that's illegal?

That's for sure, so General Manager Zhou is very generous in this regard; when firing someone, all compensation is paid according to the highest standards of the Labor Law, guaranteeing you won't have a word to say.

Even if you go to Arbitration or file a Lawsuit in Court, it's impossible to get that much money.

Zhou Yi, on the other hand, looked natural; as long as my skin is thick enough and my status is high enough, then sitting here as a foil doesn't matter, right?

Anyway, if you guys end up going to court, I'll still be the one reviewing it in the end...

Liang Jiannan didn't think that much and finally spoke up: "General Manager Zhou, Lawyer Huo, I feel embarrassed even saying this now. Sigh, you tell me, I'm at this age, and yet I've ended up in such a situation..."

He spoke hesitantly, and Zhou Yi's mind was running wild—could it be that this Lao Liang has some illegitimate child? You couldn't tell; he looks so honest, yet he plays so wild?

Liang Jiannan naturally didn't know what Zhou Yi was thinking and continued on his own: "Actually, I divorced ten years ago, and I've been living by myself all these years..."

Zhou Yi did the math; Lao Liang is forty-one this year, he divorced at thirty-one, and he himself doesn't even know if he wants to get married at thirty-one...

But listening to Lao Liang's account, Zhou Yi's eyes widened more and more; he didn't expect this Lao Liang to play even wilder than he had imagined!

He didn't keep a little mistress, nor did he have any illegitimate children; he had become obsessed with an Anchor...

Honestly, when Zhou Yi used to act as a troll on the internet, he would often rant, saying that those who watched Anchor livestreams and gave all sorts of tips had something wrong with them.

It turns out now that the real legend was right by my side!

Lao Liang watched that Anchor's livestream, and the money he tipped was really not a small amount; he even added her on WeChat, sent red envelopes on WeChat, bought gifts, and so on.

Damn it, this is a simp; sure enough, there's a saying that's spot on: this simping really doesn't look at age.

Otherwise, with Lao Liang's net worth, he could even marry a twenty-year-old girl.

"Lao Liang, don't tell me you spent so much money and ended up with nothing to show for it!"

Although Lao Liang didn't say exactly how much he spent, Zhou Yi could estimate it pretty well.

A single middle-aged man with money doesn't hold back when spending in this area; he's as generous as they come.

Not to mention that later on, the money spent on gifts was even more...

"It's not exactly that, we... we probably weren't dating; she never agreed to it... and I hadn't met her in person before..."

Zhou Yi was almost stunned by these words; big brother, you spent so much money and still haven't met the person?

This won't do; he wondered if he should hold a meeting to properly wake everyone up—there was a simp just a moment ago, and he didn't expect there to be another one right after.

The previous one... well, it was a Company event, so let's not mention that.

But this one, he's actually doing online dating!

"That's not it, Lao Liang, what do you mean by coming here today? What do you want to do?" Zhou Yi asked again.

Huo Pengfei, to the side, didn't say a word, even taking a sip of water; with the General Manager there, he basically didn't need to open his mouth.

Liang Jiannan hesitated and said: "She asked me to buy her many gifts, some luxury goods and such, and then she gave me an address."

"And then, it was last weekend, I felt that after such a long time, she was still unwilling to see me, so I decided to go find her."

"It turned out that when I went to that address, I found out she wasn't there; the address she filled in was her friend's house, and she told that friend that these items were all things she bought through overseas purchasing..."

"Then I argued with her, and this time I finally saw her; she wasn't actually a scammer, she was just as pretty in person as she was online..."

"But I don't want to go on like this anymore. I asked her to return some of the money, but she wasn't willing to return it, we had an argument, and now she has blocked me..."

Understood, Zhou Yi finally understood; a single middle-aged man with some money became obsessed with an Anchor, he thought he was the Anchor's only one, but the Anchor treated him like a sucker.

But at least he finally saw the person.

Judging by that tone, she was also very pretty, so he guessed Lao Liang had ideas again, wanted to be with the other party, and was rejected, which is why he came to consult a Lawyer...

Honestly, if this weren't a Company Employee, Zhou Yi would have turned into a troll directly; online and with an Anchor—even he, Zhou Mouren, wouldn't dare to play like that.

"So, General Manager Liang, your intention is that you want to get this portion of the money back, right? I need to understand the specific situation regarding this."

Lao Liang thought for a moment and said: "In here, there is tip money, red envelope money, food delivery money, and gift money; the tips and gifts were the ones that cost the most."

Anyway, it adds up to about two hundred thousand in total.

Compared to those other top-tier donors, it seems Lao Liang didn't spend that much at all.

"What does the other party say?" Zhou Yi asked.

Lao Liang pulled out the chat history and said: "General Manager Zhou, look, she said this was all sent voluntarily by me, so it cannot be taken back."

Zhou Yi looked at the chat history, and it was indeed that kind of reaction.

Huo Pengfei said: "It's a bit difficult to handle; it's hard to define this as fraud on the other party's part, after all, her information is all real, just like you said—personal Photo, name, and so on are all real."

"And if we go through civil litigation, this kind of Gift really cannot be revoked, because it is not a conditional Gift."

"No way, Lao Huo, is there really no way?"

Today's update, one chapter, goodnight everyone. Thanks to Brother Wangshizhineng huiwei, Brother desirekyo, Brother Youyige xinshou, Brother Feimaowuyu, Brother Wenchidage, Brother Xiaolang, and Brother Shuyou2022 for the tips, thank you.

I explained it in the group today; due to special reasons, the previous case was scrapped temporarily, so I brought out the later case instead. I hope everyone doesn't find it abrupt QAQ.
