Chapter 550: My Opinion? They Have Already Lost

The moment she saw Zhou Yi clearly, countless thoughts surged through Gao Yuxia's mind!

If she had been speculating before, thinking that A Yi was knowingly buying fake goods, then now, she could stake her own life on the fact that this was absolutely intentional!

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? They had just had a conflict over a court mediation, and right after, he went to buy things, and quite coincidentally bought so many, and then filed a Lawsuit for Return One Compensate Three.

Otherwise, there is no reason for this situation to be the case, even the female Lawyer next to him is the same person!

However, thoughts are just thoughts; she certainly couldn't act rashly now.

Gao Yuxia took a deep breath, walked over slowly, and sat down, only then saying, "Yes, Mr. Zhou, I truly didn't expect that you were A Yi. This matter is truly a coincidence."

Xiao Zhenliang didn't speak; he was also certain that he was being sued purely because the other party was retaliating...

The case in Lincheng was still very troublesome, and he didn't dare to say anything at all.

Looking around, he didn't see that legendary bald man, and only then did Xiao Zhenliang feel slightly relieved.

Zhou Xinran was sipping coffee without a word, while Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

This current situation was exactly the same as the one in the Mediation Room of the Changyi District People's Court of Lincheng, just missing the mediation judge, Zhao Yu.

For a moment, Zhou Mouren really wanted to place a Photo of Judge Zhao nearby; this was the atmosphere he wanted.

Facing Gao Yuxia's sharp and pointed words, Zhou Yi remained completely unmoved, only saying, "Whether it's a coincidence or not, I don't know. I just filed the Lawsuit this time, and then you, General Manager Gao, called me to say you wanted to chat, so I came right over."

"After all, you feel that we are just obsessed with money, and the money in this case is not a small amount, so we certainly have to have a good chat."

Lawyer Fang was spot on; during the last Mediation, the other party was impatient in every way, as if he was taking advantage by wanting that money, and even said things about his parents.

As for this time, he didn't know what this General Manager Gao would do.

Gao Yuxia had already suppressed her temper; having been out in society, she still had that much capability.

There are too many people in life who are arrogant at first and then humble later.

Gao Yuxia smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, it was indeed my fault before. Mainly, you didn't say who you were, so what I said was problematic. If you feel it was wrong, I sincerely apologize."

"No need, no need, General Manager Gao, let's keep one thing separate from another. Let's talk about this case instead."

Gao Yuxia nodded and then said, "Mr. Zhou, you see, the situation now is like this: our General Manager Tang's intention is to have a good chat with you. After all, you are also a Company boss; there's no need for us to make such a big deal out of this."

"That Lawsuit of yours, to be honest, is definitely hard to win. The reason, you also know, so now we are saying, let's coordinate properly and think of a solution that everyone can accept to resolve this matter."

Before coming, Tang Pengcheng had asked her to find a way to ask what Zhou Yi was actually trying to do, but upon seeing him in person, Gao Yuxia understood the other party's intentions.

He was here to retaliate!

Hearing this, Zhou Yi chuckled and said, "Why would it be hard for me to win? The Market Supervision Department has already confirmed that you are guilty of Price Fraud."

Hearing this, Gao Yuxia looked at Xiao Zhenliang next to her, and the other party quickly said, "That's different, Mr. Zhou. Your side might involve knowingly buying fake goods, and generally, the Court will not support knowingly buying fake goods."

"What knowingly buying fake goods? I was just shopping normally!" Zhou Yi didn't fall for it at all.

Gao Yuxia said, "Can normal shopping be such a coincidence? And specifically buying so much? Mr. Zhou, no one is a fool; this is something you can see at a glance."

Zhou Yi nodded upon hearing this and said, "That makes sense. In that case, we'll be leaving now, let's just see each other in Court."

After saying this, under Gao Yuxia's stunned gaze, Zhou Yi stood up with Zhou Xinran, who hadn't said a word, and prepared to leave.

He came today just to feel good, and now that he was done feeling good, why stay?

As for what would happen after the other party knew his identity, he wasn't worried, because he definitely wanted the other party to know. Still the same saying: the law doesn't talk about "seeing it at a glance."

The Court only examines legal facts that can be proven by legal evidence. Without corresponding evidence, if you tell the judge that "even a fool can see it," guess what the judge will say.

Still the same saying: one must speak with evidence!

Zhou Yi's evidence was very well prepared, and most importantly, A-Fu Company had previously specifically used Zhou Yi's purchase of gold for publicity to ride the trend...

Talking about the Company culture of Tengda, talking about how generous A Yi was...

So if you asked if this case was guaranteed to be won, Gao Yuxia wasn't sure.

And letting the Company fall into such a large legal dispute was certainly not a good thing.

Because the Company really did have Price Fraud...

So, after hesitating for a moment, Gao Yuxia quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment. Let's not talk about these things for now. Look at how we can reach a Mediation."

"It's very simple. You guys just need to Return One Compensate Three. Oh, actually, there's no need to return the money; I'll just take the loss. I've already told the Company Employees, and buying it again is a bit too late..."

The main reason, of course, was that if he bought it again, this money would have to come out of his own pocket, Zhou Mouren's...

It would be a waste not to take advantage of the system; he was seeking benefits for everyone, how nice.

"That's impossible!" Gao Yuxia said straightforwardly: "This is simply unrealistic. Over ten million in compensation—that has never happened before, it's definitely impossible!"

"Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean it's impossible, right? Things are done by people. Look, you've already said it's impossible, so we'll be leaving now. Anyway, the First Instance will be heard before the New Year, let's just fight the Lawsuit."

After saying this, Zhou Yi left with Zhou Xinran, and this time Gao Yuxia didn't try to stop them.

Watching the backs of the two as they left, Gao Yuxia gritted her teeth and dialed Tang Pengcheng's phone number.

On the other end of the line, Tang Pengcheng had just been scolded by the leaders of the head office again. Don't even think about a promotion, and if this matter wasn't handled well, he wouldn't even be able to continue working here.

After receiving Gao Yuxia's call, Tang Pengcheng grabbed onto it like a life-saving straw!

"You're saying the person who argued with you when you were in Lincheng is A Yi? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, General Manager Tang, it's him. I was wondering before why he would do this, but now it seems it's just to retaliate against us, because... because I said before that his parents just wanted money and were greedy for taking advantage..."

By the time she finished, Gao Yuxia didn't even know what to say.

It was obvious that General Manager Tang on the other end was already in a state of rage.

"Yuxia, what were you doing? Why would you say those things? Now it's a mess, being entangled by such a person... Fine, then notify the reporters and expose this matter. I want to see if his fans on the internet will support him!"

Regret? Of course she regretted it. Tang Pengcheng even wished Gao Yuxia would disappear sooner; if it weren't for her loose mouth, how could there be such trouble.

It can only be said that even though Zhou Yi has been serious for many years, those arrogant people are still very arrogant.

The power of an individual consumer is weak, so they are looked down upon by merchants; this is obvious.

Many people, having become accustomed to the current smooth channels for complaints, have long forgotten how difficult it was to seek Legal Aid in the beginning.

To say nothing else, the three words "computer city" are likely clear to everyone; now, when people mention computer city, many want to curse because they have truly experienced such things.

Consumers think they are seeking Legal Aid according to the law, yet the merchants just feel that you are looking for trouble for no reason.

"What's the problem? Isn't it enough that I'm offering to refund you? You still insist on demanding more compensation? Are you dreaming!"

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuxia quickly had her subordinates start contacting reporters.

Here in Shenzhen, compared to Jingzhou, the sentiment toward Zhou Yi wasn't as deep; while there was fear, money still had to be made.

Especially since this matter didn't require fabrication and was merely an objective report, there was even less to worry about.

News media all possess the right of supervision, and objective reporting is not subject to any influence.

Unless it couldn't be exposed...

Soon, a media outlet in Shenzhen received the news.

This media outlet was called Zongshen Media, and it had a decent presence online.

At this very moment, in the office, the director in charge of relevant publications, Lao Xiang, was discussing it with several editors under him.

"I don't think there's a problem with this. A-Fu Company has already provided a lot of evidence proving that there were indeed conflicts with that A Yi before, so they believe A Yi is knowingly buying fakes and intentionally bought so much gold."

One of the editors said.

Of course, the main thing was that the money given by A-Fu Company was not insignificant...

Lao Xiang hesitated for a long time before nodding and saying: "We can report it, but don't mention those things about knowingly buying fakes later. Remember, we must be objective; just report what we know."

If this were in the past, they would certainly have gone for whatever was most attention-grabbing.

Headlines like "Shocking! Famous internet celebrity A Yi actually knowingly buys fakes?" or "Shocking! A young man spends over four million just for revenge" would have appeared in minutes.

However, when A Yi was being serious before, the heads of several media companies ended up in prison.

So now, reporting news about A Yi must be done with caution and care.

As for what others guess, that is their business.

Soon the draft was written, and with some photos attached, it was posted online.

Because the aftershocks of Liangzai Zhou being serious before were still present, at the very beginning, some Netizens who saw the news couldn't believe their eyes.

Someone actually dares to report on A Yi's affairs now?

Yuan Jie in Guang City said exactly that, but after reading the report, she frowned because this report... was truly objective.

It simply reported that the so-called auntie who was taking advantage of the situation before was A Yi's mother, and that A Yi had stepped in during the Mediation process with A-Fu Company.

Then, it was just that he purchased over four million in gold jewelry from A-Fu Company; there was no speculation, just such a direct report.

It made Yuan Jie have a thought in her heart: A Yi... it really does feel like he did this out of revenge!

Looking at the comment section, it was obvious that there were quite a few people with the same thought as her.

"Sleepless at Midnight": Is that it? Didn't A Yi say he was being serious? This is a malicious Lawsuit, right? Not to mention anything else, even a fool can see he's just doing this for revenge!

"Rain Bell": Just a passerby, I also think so. The key is that this four million is too outrageous, fake at a glance. I even think there's a suspicion of Extortion; I suggest A-Fu Company call the police!

"Salted Fish Third": How do I remember that when A Yi bought the gold before, the whole internet was saying he bought it for his Company, and even said there was no question about him buying it like that? How come it's changed now?

Conflict soon appeared; there were many who believed A Yi was knowingly buying fakes, but there were also many who felt A Yi was just making a normal purchase.

Because this case was truly too classic, many law professors and Lawyers gathered around again.

It's just that, perhaps because of that bald man who caused a scene at the venue before, the law professors were all speaking cautiously.

"I believe we still have to look at the evidence. The core dispute of this case is whether A-Fu Company's act of Fictitious Original Price misled A Yi into buying the gold!"

"Some people might not know, but this is the key to the refund and compensation. Fraudulent behavior and that behavior causing consumers to be misled into making a purchase—these are both indispensable."

"It's just that the evidence we know now is too little. Just looking at that so-called revenge, you can't tell at all."

This kind of evaluation was a bit objective; at the very least, before knowing more evidence, they would definitely not easily draw a conclusion.

Relatively speaking, some Lawyers were more concerned about how that Teacher Fang would put it!

In the cases A Yi released before, the evidence was very complete in most situations, but this case was different; it had controversy.

And controversial cases are even more welcomed by Lawyers because such cases can better demonstrate their level of skill.

The onlookers on the internet didn't dare to talk about A Yi directly, but they were already arguing like a pot of porridge among themselves.

Added to that, the sky-high compensation was too eye-catching, so the heat of this case soon began to skyrocket.

In the hotel room, Zhou Yi shook his head as he looked at the comments online; he could only say that no matter how much he popularized the law, the comments from everyone online were still the same.

It was too classic; some people directly said that if A Yi won this case, then Professional Fake-Busting people couldn't be judged as losing in the future either, since it was all the same thing anyway.

These people who generalize wouldn't care about analyzing specific cases specifically, let alone care about evidence.

They would only speak according to their own thoughts; anyway, you, A Yi, are just taking revenge, so you must be knowingly buying fakes.

Actually, in life, this statement isn't wrong, but as the saying goes, life is life, and the law is the law.

Zhou Yi just felt that your Company can use legal means to have the contract rescinded, and the reason is that your own parents cannot provide evidence of holding a promotion.

Then I can naturally also take revenge through legal means; anyway, since you have that "we are talking about the law" look, then I'll just talk about the law.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yi asked: "Fang Dazhuang, they are doing these things again, what do you think?"

"What do I think?" Fang Dazhuang walked to the window leisurely and said: "The Court hasn't even opened yet, and they are already thinking about influencing the verdict through extrajudicial means. Just for this, I can responsibly say, they have already lost!"

"They don't even have the courage for a direct Debate, and that's it?"

The public opinion online did bring some good news to A-Fu Company, and there were quite a few people supporting them.

And likewise, the judge in charge of this case at the Shenzhen District Court, Lao Luo, darkened his face as he looked at the heat. As a judge, he actually really dislikes these matters that are already in an uproar before the Court has even opened.

Second update, it's not that I'm intentionally owing updates and not returning them. What should be returned must still be returned..
