Chapter 549: Just Bullying You Because You Have No Evidence!

Our lives have countless possibilities, but the law cannot possibly regulate all of them perfectly; even what is known as the encyclopedia of social life has areas it cannot account for.

Zhou Yi naturally understood what Fang Dazhuang meant, but he trusted Fang Dazhuang in this regard.

"So we're done for now, right?" Zhou Yi thought for a moment and asked.

"We're done, let's head back first. You just watch, this case is definitely going to cause a nationwide sensation."

Fang Dazhuang was very confident in this; the last luxury car compensation case wasn't supported, but that was last time—this time, it's hard to say.

If it is fraud, then Return One Compensate Three must apply; no matter how much discretion is used, one cannot change "compensate three" to "compensate 3%."

And if they don't rule for Return One Compensate Three, then they must explain clearly why this isn't Price Fraud. By then, with the Shenzhen Market Supervision Department on one side and the District Court on the other, this matter will be very interesting.

After paying a Litigation Fee that many would struggle to come up with, the three of them left the Court.

Sometimes it's not that people don't know about Return One Compensate Three, but simply because they cannot afford the Litigation Fee and Lawyer Fee, as these two charges are often based on the amount of your claim in the Litigation.

The more money you ask for, the more expensive these fees become; this is true for both the Court and law firms.

That is why people always used to say, since you are filing a Lawsuit, you might as well ask for more—ask for a "small target" or something.

Indeed, if you win the case, the Litigation Fee can be borne by the other party, but you, as the Plaintiff, have to pay it upfront at the start.

Fighting a Lawsuit, money is really important...

They returned to the hotel to rest along the way, and afterwards, led by Fang Dazhuang, they began to tour Shenzhen.

Anyway, the system pays for such things; whether it's staying at a hotel or eating, don't look at the best, only look at the most expensive!

Zhou Yi was in no rush for the annual meeting; he planned to hold it right before the New Year holiday.

He would specifically set aside three days to take the Company's Employees out to eat, drink, and have fun, and finally hold a lucky draw. Everyone has worked hard for a year, so they deserve to enjoy themselves.

Time passed slowly amidst such fun, and the heat surrounding the previous notice from the Shenzhen Market Supervision Department on the internet gradually faded.

It is true that these companies had instances of Fictitious Original Price, but many consumers were too lazy to be pedantic about it.

After all, for them, it wasn't worth being pedantic about.

Therefore, many companies also set their minds at ease, and some had already started their annual meetings.

…………

Inside a large hotel in Shenzhen, the people from A-Fu Company were packed in. Today happened to be Sunday, so the Company used the weekend to hold its annual meeting.

Of course, it wasn't just about eating and drinking; they also had to do some team building.

To the point where the Company's Employees were exhausted sitting in the hotel—wilderness hiking... are you kidding me? This is what you call team building!

Tang Pengcheng was speaking on stage. He had already moved past his previous anxiety and was in a very good mood.

Although he would likely be fined after the New Year, it didn't matter, because the Shenzhen Market Supervision Department should be fining quite a few companies this time.

When everyone is fined, it's equivalent to no one being fined.

Moreover, thinking about it carefully, this year's market was truly disaster-ridden. Because of a certain handsome guy, Modu's Dreamland, Pinduoduo, Chengdu's Ah Huang, Xiao Lan, Didi, and so on...

It could be said that every big name you can count was educated in turn by their "biological fathers" and "godfathers" because of that handsome guy's reports, and some were even hit with a big one by the Court.

Anyway, quite a few companies had received Administrative Penalty this year, so one more didn't make much of a difference. The head office also thought it was nothing—it was all for the Company, after all.

"First of all, I want to thank everyone, thank you all for your hard work this year..."

After finishing a bunch of words of thanks, Tang Pengcheng looked somewhat moved, though it was unclear if it was a genuine outpouring of emotion or just a facade.

"I won't say much more. The New Year is coming soon, and I only hope that we can stand our last post before the New Year..."

While Tang Pengcheng was speaking on stage, Gao Yuxia said to the person beside her below: "General Manager Tang is going to be promoted this time; he's likely being transferred to the head office."

The person next to her said in surprise: "No way, General Manager Tang is doing quite well here."

Gao Yuxia didn't explain, only saying: "Anyway, General Manager Tang said when we were eating before that he wasn't asking for anything else this year, just to get through the New Year smoothly, and he could be promoted after the New Year."

After chatting for a bit, everyone stopped talking and looked at Tang Pengcheng on stage, feeling that life was still quite beautiful.

However, at this very moment, Tang Pengcheng caught sight of his Secretary holding a phone and looking very anxious on the side.

So he quickly finished his speech, walked off the stage, and asked: "What's wrong?"

"General Manager Tang, something big has happened, this is really big!" the Secretary said with an anxious face.

"What could happen? We've accepted that we'll be fined if we're fined, what else can happen?" Tang Pengcheng said with a smile: "It couldn't be that A Yi has sued us, right? He's not crazy, haha..."

As he laughed, he noticed the Secretary's expression was still just as grim, and Tang Pengcheng immediately felt that something was wrong: "What is it? Don't tell me it really is that A Yi who sued us?"

The Secretary nodded, handed over the phone, and said: "General Manager Tang, the Summons has already been delivered to our company..."

What? Tang Pengcheng's original good mood vanished instantly. He took the phone and started to look; the Electronic Summons on it was written clearly.

"This, what is this situation? Why are they suing us for no reason? And Return One Compensate Three? What is he trying to do?"

Seeing that Tang Pengcheng's situation was wrong, Gao Yuxia and other executives quickly came over and asked: "What's wrong, General Manager Tang?"

"Look for yourselves, that A Yi has sued us, saying we engaged in consumer fraud and demanding Return One Compensate Three!"

Hearing this, Gao Yuxia and the other executives were equally dumbfounded. They all knew how big that order of A Yi's was!

An order of over four million—what kind of concept is Return One Compensate Three? It could basically be said that it would set a record for consumer compensation in the country!

Everyone was thinking there, when suddenly Gao Yuxia said: "General Manager Tang, I think that A Yi is definitely doing this on purpose. Otherwise, there's no reason to file a Lawsuit in such a short time, and he didn't even contact us before filing!"

"You mean..."

Gao Yuxia said with a certain tone: "Judging from the other party's previous Legal Aid experience, he definitely understands the law. So, I can be certain that he is definitely engaging in malicious fake-busting with this Lawsuit!"

"Otherwise, why would he buy so much gold jewelry for the Company's Employees for no reason?"

Tang Pengcheng nodded and said: "That's a line of thought. You all find some reporters and expose this on the internet."

News reports are fine; objective reporting doesn't pose a problem, even Zhou Mouren can't do anything about that.

When the time comes, find some people to steer the narrative, saying that A Yi is engaging in malicious litigation and malicious purchasing, and gain the upper hand in public opinion first.

As for how to write the report, the reporters have experience. A Yi's name plus the sky-high compensation of over ten million is enough to attract people's attention.

"Forget it, don't rush the report yet. Contact A Yi again and meet with him. Yuxia, you handle this task. Ask him what exactly he wants to do. If we can't reach an agreement, then publish the report!"

"I'm going to report this to the head office."

The annual meeting naturally could not continue; the executives left one by one, leaving only the ordinary Employees there eating and drinking.

Gao Yuxia left the hotel and intended to contact Zhou Yi according to the phone number on the Indictment.

She did not currently associate Zhou Yi with the young man she had met back then.

Because the Indictment from Lincheng was all in the name of Zhou Yi's mother, and Zhou Yi had gone to the Mediation on his mother's behalf.

When reporting names, Gao Yuxia had not paid much attention.

Soon the call went through, and Gao Yuxia said with a face full of smiles: "May I ask if this is Mr. Zhou Yi? Eh, I am Gao Yuxia from A-Fu Company. Yes, that's right, I saw that you filed a Lawsuit against our Company, so I was thinking of having a chat with you to see if there is any misunderstanding..."

"Oh, you are in Shenzhen? That works. When are you free? Tomorrow morning, is it? Good, good, then we shall meet tomorrow."

Hanging up the phone, Gao Yuxia's expression was a bit hesitant; this voice sounded somewhat familiar, but she just couldn't remember who it was.

However, as long as they could meet, it was easy to talk; being able to meet meant it could be negotiated.

Before that, Gao Yuxia intended to take a good look at the videos of that famous internet celebrity.

Although Zhou Mouren was so famous, there were quite a few people who hadn't watched his videos, and Gao Yuxia did not like watching these.

But now, work requirements made it necessary to watch.

Returning to the Company, she watched a few videos one by one and roughly analyzed the other party's personality, and Gao Yuxia then had an idea.

The other party's personality was actually that he would yield to soft tactics but not hard ones; the more you tried to win against him, the more he would insist on getting to the bottom of things!

While thinking, Gao Yuxia began to write in her notebook about the situations that might arise and how she should respond after encountering them...

To be safe, she also intended to bring someone along; it just so happened that the Lawyer surnamed Xiao she had met before in Lincheng was quite good, so she would bring him.

Soon, Gao Yuxia dialed Xiao Zhenliang's number.

"Hello, Lawyer Xiao, yes, it's me. Come with me to meet someone tomorrow morning; there is a legal matter to discuss..."

Negotiation and Debate are not just about having a silver tongue; the work behind the scenes must also be done well.

In a park in Shenzhen, Zhou Yi hung up the phone and looked at Fang Dazhuang and Zhou Xinran, saying: "A-Fu Company contacted me. You tell me, isn't it a coincidence? It's that Vice President named Gao Yuxia from before."

Fang Dazhuang said with a relaxed face: "Just that Vice President who was always impatient when she saw you last time, right? Just watch, she is definitely analyzing you as a person through your videos right now; her attitude tomorrow will absolutely be incredibly good."

Zhou Xinran, beside him, didn't speak; she had previously felt there was no need to specifically meet the other party.

However, both Zhou Yi and Fang Dazhuang expressed their opposition, and both believed that if one didn't see the other party's dumbfounded reaction, then the act of being serious would lose its fun!

We went to such great lengths to collect evidence, specifically ran to Shenzhen to file complaints and then a Lawsuit—what is this for? It's for this sense of satisfaction.

It's like a Criminal Private Prosecution for online verbal abuse; if you can't see the other party crying and wailing, you feel like this frustration hasn't been vented.

Of course, such behavior seems not to conform to our universal values, because we always seem to be saying "when will the cycle of vengeance end," "endure for a moment and the wind will be calm," and "take a step back and the sky will be vast."

This kind of intentional revenge is not approved of.

But Zhou Yi doesn't care, and Fang Dazhuang cares even less.

Consequently, Zhou Xinran didn't care either.

Time soon arrived at the next morning; Zhou Yi packed his things, and the person he brought with him was still Zhou Xinran.

No choice, some people just have such wicked tastes.

If it weren't this Vice President Gao coming, it would be one thing, but since it happens to be her, then one must try to simulate the previous Mediation as much as possible.

It's just a pity that Lawyer Xiao is missing; in the large-scale Litigation over in Lincheng, the other party was not suspected of a crime, even if that information was taken out by him, it hadn't reached the level of a crime.

He only needed to bear the liability for damages, and he is probably overwhelmed with trouble right now.

As for Fang Dazhuang, he was naturally left behind by the two; he is needed when fighting a lawsuit, but there is no need to trouble Fang Dazhuang for this kind of thing.

Soon the two arrived at the agreed-upon place, a coffee shop; this was proposed by Zhou Yi.

"Xinran, why do I feel that bringing you back for the New Year this year doesn't have that sense of novelty anymore."

Zhou Yi sipped his coffee and voiced the question in his mouth.

Originally, bringing this girl home was to deal with his parents.

Who could have imagined that ever since he agreed, she has been running to Lincheng constantly, and bringing her along every time.

It has become very awkward now; I heard this girl even went shopping for clothes with his mother in Lincheng.

It just feels like, before anything has even happened, he has inexplicably been defaulted into a relationship.

This situation is not quite right!

Zhou Xinran glanced at him and said: "Sense of novelty? Sure enough, scumbags are just like this; once the sense of novelty passes, they become fickle."

What the heck?

Zhou Yi was completely dumbfounded; what do you mean once the sense of novelty passes? I haven't even done anything yet, okay!

Just as he was preparing to have a good argument with this woman, he saw the door of the coffee shop pushed open, and a woman dressed in what looked like luxury and a man in a suit and leather shoes walked in.

That's right, both of them are very familiar...

Hahaha!

Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud; this really wasn't his fault, anyone who encountered this would want to laugh, right?

He had originally felt a bit regretful, but he didn't expect that man proposes, God disposes!

Zhou Xinran, beside him, was laughing so hard she couldn't sit still.

Don't ask; if you ask, it's because we both remembered something happy.

Over there, Gao Yuxia and Xiao Zhenliang were looking around, still chatting: "Lawyer Xiao, try not to bring up legal matters as much as possible unless there's no other way to talk, you know? That A Yi doesn't buy that."

"Where are the two of them? Didn't they say they arrived?"

"What kind of place is this? Laughing so strangely, and in a public place at that!"

Gao Yuxia kept talking there.

Just at this moment, the man from the couple next to them who had been laughing all along suddenly waved and said: "Vice President Gao, over here!"

Instantly, everyone in the coffee shop looked over.

Gao Yuxia turned her head and looked carefully at the young couple in front of her whom she had assumed were just a couple; this feeling is so familiar!

Xiao Zhenliang behind him also rubbed his eyes; it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it...

Zhou Yi had already returned to normal, saying with a face full of smiles: "General Manager Gao, come sit. Didn't you say you wanted to chat with me? I've already come."

This is exactly the effect I wanted; you know I am deliberately messing with you, but you simply have no evidence!

He, Zhou Yi, has never wanted to be any kind of good person...
