Chapter 545: If You Can't Take Advantage, You're at a Loss, Right?

Quan Longtian now has only one thought, and that is, this President Zhou is someone worth sticking with; when there's trouble he really steps up, and when there isn't, he'll create an opportunity to step up!

No need to say anything else; since President Zhou has made the arrangements, then let's get it done. He certainly wouldn't say anything like "President Zhou, this isn't necessary" anymore...

Although he is the General Manager of the Company, he is also a wage earner, and he keeps his position very clear. If the boss wants to pay out of his own pocket to provide benefits for the Company, what right does a wage earner like him have to try and talk him out of it.

It's not like some HRs, who feel like the Company has become theirs once they've managed people for too long.

Very quickly, following Quan Longtian's notification, executives like He Ling from the Personnel Department and Yin Dajie from the Finance Department already knew the news.

After hanging up the phone, He Ling couldn't help but sigh with emotion; for a boss like President Zhou, honestly, he probably couldn't go bankrupt even if he wanted to.

I'd heard before about companies with such great atmospheres that when they were about to go bankrupt, the cleaning ladies would personally pay money to keep the company from going under, and I even thought it was a rumor.

Now that I think about it, a company like Tengda is one that can earn the genuine recognition of its Employees.

Sighing, she began preparing to attend the meeting. President Zhou's intention is that everyone in the Company, including security guards and cleaning ladies, must be guaranteed to win at least one prize.

Moreover, the minimum spend must be one million; it won't do if it isn't spent...

Regarding this matter, I've truly never seen anything like it in my life. As for those other companies, let alone giving out benefits, they nitpick over everything when you try to get travel expenses reimbursed.

They demand a whole pile of requirements, and if you don't meet them, you can't get reimbursed at all.

This contrast is truly too obvious. The key is that this behavior of President Zhou's, which looks like he's squandering his wealth, has resulted in Tengda's scale growing larger and larger instead of becoming poor after two years of this.

The Company's senior management spent about a day making the plan, and by the time they got off work in the afternoon, the plan was finally finished, and the relevant questionnaires began to be distributed.

They were all very simple questionnaires, just listing a bunch of gold jewelry and asking everyone what prize they most wanted to receive at the annual meeting.

Many Tengda Employees don't work overtime and leave quickly after work; basically, by the time this questionnaire was sent out in the group chat, many people had already arrived home.

Liu Tong joined Tengda a month ago as a product Manager for Tengda Games. Before this, she had worked at a well-known game company in Modu.

Because she is from Jingzhou, she resigned and returned to Jingzhou to join Tengda.

At this moment, she was at a restaurant preparing to eat with her best friend when her phone rang.

Although she had heard online that Tengda seemed very relaxed, Liu Tong still hurriedly took out her phone to take a look.

At this glance, Liu Tong was immediately stunned, and her hands began to operate the phone involuntarily.

Her best friend beside her said quite helplessly: "We're eating, what's wrong? Who's sending you messages that you have to type so much?"

Liu Tong said casually: "A survey sent by the Company group; I have to fill it out right now, it's very important."

Upon hearing this, her best friend asked curiously: "A task from the Company? No, doesn't your Tengda Company advertise that you absolutely don't work overtime? Why are they sending you tasks now that you're off work?"

"This feels about the same as our company; they don't force overtime, but they send you tasks after you've clocked out..."

As her best friend said this, she immediately smiled—it was that kind of "I feel relieved to see you aren't doing well" feeling; anyway, it's all about the same.

Seeing a brother doing well makes me want to grind my back teeth to dust.

But Liu Tong just kept busy over there, and her best friend grew impatient, snatched the phone away, and said with a laugh: "Let me see what kind of task they sent you that's so urgent..."

Then she saw the questionnaire on the phone.

The first line of text read: The theme of this annual meeting is gold; President Zhou is paying out of his own pocket to purchase prizes for everyone. Everyone will get one, with a total value of no less than one million...

Her best friend and Liu Tong looked at each other and silently handed the phone back.

After a moment of silence, she said: "So Tongtong, does your company still need people? Money doesn't matter, I just want to work with you—I'll even work as a cleaner!"

Damn it, people die when compared to others, and goods are thrown away when compared to others. How can there be such a beastly company as Tengda in this world, and such a brute of a boss as the Tengda boss!

By doing this, where does he leave the faces of other bosses...

Her best friend had already imagined the situation that would break out at the Tengda annual meeting later.

Other Tengda Employees go without saying; they truly don't work after hours, but for something like getting prizes, let alone one questionnaire, even if there were ten, I'd fill them out without fail!

Yuan Jianhua was even more eager to show his stuff; in previous raffles, he was always the most pathetic one, but this time he must let them see what luck is!

Zhou Yi didn't bother with Tengda's affairs once he had arranged them, and for the past two days, he had been wandering around Lincheng with Fang Dazhuang and Zhou Xinran again.

He was also keeping an eye on whether the Afu flagship store was going to hold an event.

Afu is a very large brand, and the operator behind the store that was dealing with Zhou Yi is called Shenzhen Afu Online Media Co., Ltd.

Gao Yuxia had already returned to Shenzhen; although she is in charge of this matter now, as for the lawsuit, having a Lawyer is enough.

However, just as Gao Yuxia started work that day, she received a call from the Lawyer, Lao Xiao.

"What? The other party actually filed a Counterclaim? How much do they want? Ten thousand yuan, right? Have they gone crazy with poverty?"

"Then let's just fight the lawsuit normally. I don't believe it—we have to pay ten thousand just for something like this?"

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuxia didn't bother with it anymore; she didn't believe at all that this matter would require paying ten thousand, because no matter what, the other party hadn't suffered any losses.

To think they'd dare to open their mouths so wide and ask for so much!

Forget it, let's ignore that for now. It's almost the end of the year, and everyone needs to grab traffic. The Company is holding an event again, and the scale of this event needs to be slightly larger.

At the very least, within the same industry, we must outshine those other few companies.

If things develop normally, then it's just a matter of fighting the lawsuit as it comes.

However, Gao Yuxia did not know that Xiao Zhenliang is the type of person who often discusses cases with his peers, especially some cases that have not yet been made public.

He also felt that the Counterclaim filed by the other party was a bit unreasonable. Even from the perspective of an ordinary person, you haven't caused them any impact, so why would you dare to open your mouth and ask for ten thousand?

As it happens, one of his female classmates has been making some legal-related videos recently and needs a lot of strange and bizarre cases.

So Xiao Zhenliang sent it to this female classmate.

Lawyers are people too, especially Lawyers like Xiao Zhenliang who aren't married yet.

"I'm truly speechless. I don't know where this family found their Lawyer—heaven knows if they're even a Lawyer—they actually dared to file a Counterclaim for ten thousand. Brother, look at this, I have to stay in Lincheng for a few more days."

On the other end, the Lawyer chatting with Xiao Zhenliang was surnamed Lin; she didn't even have an A Zheng, and had barely managed to get a C Zheng just to make a living.

After seeing many Lawyers become popular doing Self-Media, Lin Liqing also wanted to do Self-Media, focusing naturally on her looks and figure.

It's just that the competition regarding looks and figure is too intense right now, so she wanted to add some gimmicks, such as "The Most Bizarre Case in History" and so on.

Looking at the case her classmate sent over, Lin Liqing was immediately very happy; this case had plenty of gimmicks.

They mispriced the item, so isn't it enough to just refund the money? They still have to demand ten thousand yuan from them—isn't this the classic "if you can't take advantage, you're at a loss"?

This kind of thing is very easy to spark discussion online, and as long as it can spark discussion, that means traffic; the current Lin Liqing is crazy for traffic.

So she did not hesitate, and after slightly blurring some key areas, she turned the entire case into a video and posted it under her account "Lin Lawyer Pufa".

And titled it "The Most Bizarre Case in History: The Auntie Who Just Wants to Take Advantage!".

"Hello everyone, netizens. Today's most bizarre case in history brings you: the Auntie who just wants to take advantage!"

"Look here, this year, a flagship store of a certain gold and jewelry company had a pricing error, and then, this Auntie took advantage of this time to buy gold jewelry originally worth over two hundred thousand."

"We have all seen shops on the internet that went bankrupt because of malicious 'wool-shearing' due to wrong price tags, right? Everyone hates this kind of behavior."

"As it turns out, this company requested the other party to return it, and had already apologized and offered compensation, but she wouldn't agree; even after all the nice words were said, she still wouldn't agree, and finally, they had no choice but to file a lawsuit against her."

"But, do you know what this Auntie and her son said? They opened their mouths and demanded ten thousand in compensation, and after this company refused, they even filed a counterclaim, wanting ten thousand, with the reason being that the company marked the price wrong."

"I really laughed. The company marked the price wrong and didn't cause you any loss, yet you dare to ask for ten thousand the moment you open your mouth. What's wrong? You feel like you lost out just because you didn't get to take advantage, right? Really, there are just too many Aunties in life who like to take advantage, that's why people in our country are looked down upon by foreign countries..."

Classic hot keywords were fully utilized, "Auntie" and "take advantage"; they didn't post Zhou Yi's part because they themselves knew that what Zhou Yi said during the mediation was all stipulated by law.

Therefore, they only took out some of Mother Zhou's previous chat records and edited them slightly, and the image of an Auntie who likes to take advantage jumped off the page.

So, as soon as the video was released, it triggered an extremely large response.

To put it bluntly, there are indeed many, many Aunties in life who like to take small advantages, and many of them are unreasonable.

So many people hate it, for example, Xu Yufeng, whom Zhou Yi encountered before.

Under such circumstances, Lin Liqing's video began to go viral.

"No Heart to Sleep at Midnight":??? How are they so shameless to ask for money, and even file a counterclaim? It's really never enough for them to take advantage. I really have nothing to say about this kind of person!

"Gao Qiu Doesn't Eat Sea Cucumber": I think so too. It's not like the company wasn't offering compensation before, and she still wouldn't agree. What's the matter? Who doesn't make a mistake? There was no impact at all, and she dares to ask for money like this?

"Big Typhoon Last Night": I say to the few people above, you are being a bit too biased. Not causing a big impact doesn't mean they shouldn't be compensated. It is their right to file a counterclaim for however much they want. On the contrary, you scolding people like this is definitely wrong.

At times like this, everyone knows that when the internet starts to scold someone on a large scale, if you dare to speak up against it, just wait, you will be sprayed by everyone too.

And so, very quickly, this brother "Big Typhoon" was sprayed until he was like a sieve.

When the heat really picked up, the original creator actually couldn't control it anymore.

A-Fu Company and Zhou Yi's parents were all dragged into it. Of course, there were also people scolding Zhou Yi, saying the whole family wanted to take advantage.

Of course, at a time like this, no one knew Zhou Yi's true identity.

There were also many people in the legal industry who started to analyze, saying that A-Fu Company filing a lawsuit was reasonable and fair; it was indeed a contract based on a Major Misunderstanding, which could be rescinded.

In the words of some people, if the person buying the things hadn't asked for ten thousand, they would still feel the Auntie was in the right, but opening their mouth to ask for so much is purely being crazy for money!

The internet became a mess.

Although Zhou Yi's previous Net Cleaning Action was very effective, as long as it wasn't Zhou Yi, they didn't care about others.

Anyway, they said what they said, what can you do about it?

However, Human Flesh Search was indeed much less than before; at the very least, the real information of Father Zhou and Mother Zhou was not exposed.

Lin Liqing was very excited; her follower count was constantly rising. Many people said they had discovered a treasure video creator, who had both looks and was so professional—it was simply too attractive!

As for Xiao Zhenliang, after seeing the heat on the internet, he was just a little worried. There are many cases exposed before the trial, so he wasn't actually in a hurry.

It was just that after consideration, he still reported the situation to Gao Yuxia.

"So all these things were told to your classmate? The case hasn't even gone to court yet, who told you to leak the news privately?" Gao Yuxia shouted on the phone.

Xiao Zhenliang didn't dare to speak and could only listen there.

However, after Gao Yuxia shouted a few times, her tone changed: "However, it has already reached this level of heat, our company must also come out to explain. You don't need to worry about the rest, just focus on the lawsuit."

Yes, Gao Yuxia wanted to report to the company and take advantage of this heat to do a promotion!

Otherwise, with such high heat, wouldn't it be a waste if they didn't take advantage of it?

She quickly contacted other company leaders, and soon there was a plan.

The company was going to do a year-end promotion, and the publicity had to reflect that the Employee who previously marked the price wrong had already been killed as a sacrifice—anyway, netizens love these memes.

Using memes to ride the heat!

All subsequent price tags would definitely not have any problems and would certainly be checked carefully.

For a time, the activity's heat also began to skyrocket, and people kept making reservations, planning to take this opportunity to buy some things.

Other gold brands also started year-end promotional activities. With major companies constantly throwing money around, the internet began to dance with demons again.

And under such circumstances, Zhou Yi learned about what happened on the internet and immediately called Mother Zhou.

"Mom, no one has called you, right? That's good, your personal information shouldn't have been leaked, and you aren't being subjected to Human Flesh Search right now."

"This is also my problem; I shouldn't have directly filed a counterclaim for money. You and Dad should just not look at those messages on the internet recently."

On the phone, Mother Zhou laughed: "Your dad and I are fine, it's just being talked about by a few people, what does that count for? Xiao Yi, just do things according to your own ideas, don't worry about us."

The pleasant conversation with Mother Zhou ended. After hanging up the phone, the smile on Zhou Yi's face disappeared.

He looked at Lawyer Fang in front of him and said:

"Lawyer Fang, how many Lawyers are currently free in your firm? Can we launch another large-scale Litigation? I feel like these people on the internet never learn their lesson."

"Besides, 'one is close to their fellow countrymen,' I have also been considering how to give back to my hometown. I might as well send some cases to the Court in Lincheng."

Lawyer Fang heard this and said directly: "Small matter, just have Xinran go back and bring people over. I looked at it this time, the scale isn't as big as the previous ones, many people didn't scold anyone."

"Also, that A-Fu online shop is starting to do promotions now. I'll focus specifically on this. You don't say, they actually said this time that they guarantee the price tags won't have any problems."

"With these words, we won't have to think about anything else when we look for them to Return One Compensate Three later..."

Before, when you marked the price wrong and it was too low, you said it was a Major Misunderstanding. Then this time, if it's marked too high, you surely can't still say it's a Major Misunderstanding.

Saying it and doing it, Lawyer Fang's eyes began to glow again. For some things, even if you report the problem a hundred times, it's not as good as giving them a real hit.

In the Lincheng Changyi District Court, Judge Zhao Yu suddenly sneezed and touched his thick, black hair. Strange, why does he always feel his scalp is chilly?

He asked other colleagues, and it was about the same. Those guys in the Criminal Division felt their scalps were even colder. What's the situation? It's not that cold.

Today's first update, good afternoon everyone. Some book friends feel this matter is not very good and added my QQ to chat specifically. They said a lot, saying the protagonist doing this is not good, that he is actually "knowing it's fake and buying it as fake," but using the law to do this and that. Regarding this question, I just want to say now: is the protagonist's behavior legal? It is legal, and that's enough. You can't say others can ignore morality and only talk about law, but the protagonist must talk about both morality and law, right? I will talk to everyone about this properly when I summarize at the end of the month. I will personally write according to my own plan, and I definitely won't change the outline because of this.
