Chapter 541: Don't act on impulse no matter what happens!

Manager Li's face was full of disbelief; he truly could not believe that the internet celebrity named Zhou Yi was bold enough to actually post such a thing online!

What he found even harder to believe was that no one was stopping him?

In Manager Li's mind, he still thought that while places like testing centers were now privately contracted, they had only been in private hands for a few years after all.

Therefore, when they raised prices, they would sneakily use the banner of government pricing, and because of this, many drivers dared not make a scene even if they were dissatisfied.

After all, in this kind of situation, how could you make a scene?

As it turned out, he hadn't expected the guy to just post it like that, and post it so unscrupulously.

He hurriedly found the video online and clicked on it impatiently to start watching.

Upon seeing it, Manager Li's expression changed, not just because of the video itself, but also because of the barrage of comments constantly cursing him.

"Damn it, I was the same before; all sorts of warning lights came on after the inspection. These testing centers should be fined to death!"

"Exactly, and they even dared to raise prices collectively. Who does this association think they are!"

"So it's just a fine for anti-monopoly? What about the rest? Can they still keep operating?"

The earlier ones didn't really matter; if he was cursed, so be it. He had been in this line of work for a long time and had been cursed plenty of times.

Things like causing a bunch of warning lights to appear on someone else's car were common practice for testing centers.

Compensation was definitely impossible; the excuse was the same one used to deal with Zhou Yi previously: you have to go through the legal process.

A normal car repair wouldn't cost much, a few thousand at most, while the time and energy spent on a lawsuit would be more than it was worth.

So, not many people were willing to pursue it to the end.

The latter part of that sentence was what made Manager Li afraid. What he relied on for his current status and his comfortable life was, naturally, these testing centers under his banner.

These weren't things you could just open casually; those who knew, understood.

Now, with such talk appearing online, Manager Li began to feel uneasy.

It shouldn't go that far, right? They only raised prices collectively; they didn't do anything else...

He continued watching, and similar comments appeared more and more frequently.

There was no help for it; everyone could empathize. Many people had been delayed by such things when trying to get things done, so they were extremely hateful of situations where you were made to run back and forth repeatedly without your problem being solved!

Everyone was an office worker; honestly, the free time they could squeeze out to get things done was truly too little.

Sometimes, just to get something done, you had to specifically ask for leave and lose wages to do it, since you were off on the weekend, and they were off on the weekend too.

Then, having to run back and forth time after time—who could stand that?

Fortunately, everything was now being handled in one go.

The more he watched, the more shocked Manager Li became. He had never imagined before that someone could actually reach this point just because of a few words!

All the testing centers in the entire Jingzhou! He was actually able to get so many people to help collect evidence together, and then take that evidence to the Market Supervision Department to report them!

This kind of behavior—killing a thousand enemies while potentially suffering twelve hundred in losses—was something Manager Li simply could not understand. He really wanted to ask that guy surnamed Zhou: Was it worth it?

He had just been angry at the time and said a few words; it wouldn't have really amounted to anything.

As for telling the other party to go wherever they wanted to complain, that was also something said in anger; he had said that often in the past...

It was just that this time, he had encountered someone who took things seriously.

The guy really did just as he said: he wanted to report him for anti-monopoly to the Market Supervision Department, so he put his heart and soul into collecting evidence to report him.

The cost of such behavior had long since exceeded the small amount of money for the car repair at the time, not to mention that the car repair was covered by insurance.

How could there be such a person in this world!

After finishing the video, Manager Li's face was dark and uncertain.

Manager Peng, who was in front of him, hesitated and said, "Boss, this guy surnamed Zhou, do you think we should go teach him a lesson? Otherwise, are we just going to be fined for nothing? Who does he think he is!"

Manager Li was just about to say something when his phone rang. He picked it up, took a look, and hurriedly answered.

It was a call from a friend of his, who incidentally told him that Director Liu of the Guangming District Public Security Bureau wanted to call him.

Soon, Director Liu's call came through.

"Eh, yes, yes. Oh, Director Liu, how could that be? I was just saying that; no, no, I absolutely do not have such thoughts!"

Like a parrot, he responded for a long time before Manager Li finally hung up the phone, his face looking extremely ugly.

When he found out that the whistleblower was Zhou Yi, he had thought about finding a few people to teach the other party a lesson, but now, he didn't dare.

That Director Liu from the Guangming District Public Security Bureau had specifically called to tell him that while the whistleblower's identity had been made public, any Retaliatory Attack was strictly prohibited!

Normally, something like this wouldn't be done by someone of Director Liu's status, but who let a certain handsome guy report so many cases at the Zhonglou Police Station back then, using that pile of merits to forcefully push Director Liu up...

In one police station, there were countless cases in two years that could serve as Case Analysis, and they perfectly matched the country's propaganda direction.

There was almost no surprise that Director Liu was promoted.

So this time, he made the call himself.

After hanging up, Manager Li sat there in a daze. What exactly did that internet celebrity do?

At a time like this, what was there to teach a lesson? If he dared to make any other moves, he would find out what the country's current crackdown on organized crime was really about.

If you're doing business, just do business properly; don't think about other nonsense.

"Forget about this for now. Let's think about how to deal with this matter. At the very least, as long as the testing centers are open, the money can be earned back."

However, Manager Li clearly underestimated this matter.

When Lao Yang specifically let Zhou Yi publicize this event, it meant that those above already had a way to solve the problem.

And generally speaking, things brought out for publicity would absolutely not leave any loopholes.

A crowd of people online started reporting, tagging official accounts like Jingzhou Release, asking why such a person could even contract a testing center!

And they could even form a testing association.

Now that things were so serious and they had engaged in monopoly, could the testing centers really be allowed to keep operating?

Even more so, many drivers had now seen the news and started reporting one after another. When the public opinion reached its peak, Jingzhou Release issued a notification.

The relevant department in charge of approving testing centers stated that testing centers found to have illegal activities in this incident would have their contracting qualifications revoked.

If the previous fines were not considered particularly serious for these contracting companies, then this subsequent announcement was equivalent to casting everything they had straight into hell.

Everyone knows that as long as a Motor Vehicle Inspection Center is open, it can generally make money; these bosses relied on this, which is why they were so fearless.

But now, they cannot open anymore...

As for the vacant market, there is no need to worry about that at all; there are plenty of bosses who want to do this, and they have long been waiting with money in hand.

When bosses like Manager Li and Manager Zhang saw the announcement, they were already stunned.

Because regarding this announcement, they hadn't received even a shred of news beforehand...

It can only be said that their actions had already gone too far.

Manager Li sat in his office, his face pale; he no longer said things like "how much money to buy your life," and now he had only one thought: if only he had paid up earlier when he damaged that car belonging to the man surnamed Zhou...

Just because of those few tens of thousands, not only did he have to pay a fine, but the perfectly good inspection center could no longer open.

Right, it was all because of that person surnamed Peng; if it weren't for the things his relative did, how could he have ended up in this state now?

And so, very quickly, a fight broke out at the inspection center...

…………

It was already the next day when Zhou Yi learned the news; it is said that Manager Li and that Manager Peng got into a fierce fight, fighting so intensely that both ended up in the hospital.

Of course, after coming out of the hospital, the Detention Center was still waiting for both of them.

Moreover, Zhou Yi also heard that Manager Li's wife had been cursing him for a long time.

Saying that he had ruined their family.

Zhou Yi naturally didn't care; it was just a few curses, and because he couldn't file a Lawsuit anyway, after all, he wasn't there, and there was no evidence.

This time, being serious was still very successful, at least in Zhou Yi's view.

From the mouths of the Company Employees, one could tell that the service at the Jingzhou inspection centers had become much better than before.

Scalpers had also become much fewer, because after the inspection centers began marketization, the service attitude improved, and everyone could handle things smoothly without needing scalpers.

The reviews online were mixed; some people thought that someone like Zhou Yi, who would collect evidence just because the other party said something unpleasant, only to report them, was simply not suitable for interaction—his heart was too small.

They even said that a person like Zhou Yi could never get married, because he would definitely be serious if he got married, and with such a temper, who could stand it?

Zhou Mouren, who was playing on his phone in the office, fell into deep thought upon seeing this news; you know, it seems there really is someone who can stand his temper.

Because her temper seems to be even bigger.

At the very least, he would absolutely never send his blind date to the Detention Center...

Looking at the time, before he knew it, New Year's Day had already passed.

As long as one gets serious, time really does pass quickly.

The system hadn't appeared for a long time, as if it had already disappeared.

If it weren't for the fact that the System Panel still existed, his account balance was so long, and the Company was thriving, Zhou Yi would have thought it was a dream.

Although those few bosses didn't go in, their current situation was basically no better than being inside.

The Company was still the same, and regarding the matter of minors applying for refunds, there were already preliminary regulations.

For the first two times, as long as you said you were a minor and spent money recklessly, it would be refunded without exception, but for the third time, sorry, even if you talked until you were blue in the face, it wouldn't be refunded; if you want to go to court, then we'll accompany you!

It looked like a very typical Zhou Yi idea; after studying Criminal Law for so long, Zhou Yi also agreed with one point: "three" is a magical number.

The Self-Media Studio responsible for filming videos had new web dramas, and the overtime in the Legal Department was still severe.

Ever since the child of the cleaning lady encountered school bullying last time and the Company stepped in to handle it, similar cases had emerged one after another.

And among these, besides school bullying, there were also some caused by things parents said, leading to discrimination by teachers, and so on.

Still the same saying, there are black sheep in every industry; teachers, doctors, and Lawyers are all human.

For example, the matter Zhou Yi was hearing about in the Legal Department now.

In a parent group, a teacher posted a Photo of a child to criticize them; the child's parent felt it was inappropriate and said a couple of things, and then was directly criticized by the teacher.

That would be one thing, but there were other parents who jumped out and started attacking you, telling you to understand the teacher, and so on...

Just like those parents who would say at the drop of a hat in the group, "Our teacher is such and such, let's pool money to buy the teacher this or that."

The good deeds were all done by others, and if you didn't pay, you would be attacked...

The problem this Employee was talking about now was that the teacher had removed them from the parent group, which in itself was nothing.

But, many homework assignments and such were now posted in the group...

This Employee was currently hesitating whether to directly complain about that teacher or what...

Even Zhou Yi felt that this kind of problem was very troublesome to listen to.

In addition, there was school bullying, which was also a focus of the Tengda Legal Department's efforts recently.

Because some school bullying was relatively serious and some parents couldn't hold back, the Tengda Legal Department specifically applied to hold a legal education seminar for the Company's Employees.

First, tell them: when you encounter your child being bullied, absolutely, absolutely do not take action yourself!

That way, even if you were in the right, you become in the wrong, and it is best not to go to the other party's home to take action.

Their own boss had called the police so many times, and many were eventually sentenced for Illegal Trespassing, so they must let the Employees have a sense of vigilance.

That is: someone else's home, if they don't let you in, don't go in!

There are ways to solve school bullying; you absolutely, absolutely must not be impulsive.

Of course, other small matters were also discussed at the legal education seminar; in short, it was to tell everyone that the Tengda Legal Department is now here to back them up, so don't be impulsive when encountering things.

For example, if a parking space is occupied, absolutely, absolutely do not go and damage the other party's car; don't think about such things, once it hits five thousand, it's easy to go to the Detention Center.

Zhou Yi was watching very happily in the Legal Department; with all kinds of strange cases, it could only be said that the Tengda Employees' ability to cause trouble was also first-class.

Just as Zhou Yi was planning to have a good chat with Huo Pengfei, his phone rang; he picked it up and saw it was a call from his dad.

"Hello, Dad, what's wrong? What? You and Mom have been sued? What kind of situation is this? Don't worry, it's just a civil Lawsuit, tell me slowly."

Zhou Yi was quite surprised; his father and mother were both good people in the general sense, and they didn't have any conflicts with neighbors in their daily lives.

How could it have reached the point of a Lawsuit now?

Father Zhou recounted the general situation, and Zhou Yi's brows immediately furrowed.

He had not expected that it would actually be related to the gold bought previously!

His parents had called him before, saying that a certain brand's gold price was very low, so they had hurriedly bought a little, preparing to give it to a young lady when he officially brought her home.

As it turned out, he never expected that this matter would actually lead to trouble!

They claimed their listed price was marked incorrectly...

The first update of the day; no need for everyone to remind me, I know, there are still two chapters to come. Of course, it will definitely be after twelve o'clock, but rest assured, the two chapters totaling eight thousand words will absolutely not be short! Thanks to Wenchidage, another new big brother, Feimaowuyu, Book Friend 2021, Mengxinzai, and How Do We Say Goodbye, thank you for the tips, thank you.
