Chapter 558: Need People? Easy to Handle!

~15 min read 2,968 words

Lawyer Wang might not be very skilled in areas like "Risk Agency," but he is quite experienced in dealing with people; after all, in the job of a lawyer, the law is one aspect, and dealing with people is another.

Those who don't know how to deal with people would have long since been complained about until they were full of holes.

So, after seeing the old man's demeanor, he hurriedly bought ten catties, and sure enough, the old man was very happy.

Wang Daye was indeed very happy; everyone sells things here together, and although they sell different things, seeing you make money is even more uncomfortable than me losing money...

At this moment, seeing the other party wanting to weigh ten catties, he was immediately very happy and said: "Young man, you asked the right person about this. That day, not only that Cheng Dama, but also several other people were there. Among them, I remember there was a young man who even came to me to buy sunflower seeds."

"I've seen him many times; I don't know his name, but I'm quite familiar with him."

"There was also an old thi... an old man, surnamed Liu, who should also be from the Small Residential District over there. Hey, young man, you don't know, that person has a big mouth. Every day he comes out, he just brags about how amazing his son is, and then how rich he is. Not many people talk to him..."

Liu Laotou belongs to the type who loves to chat; once he starts, he can't stop.

Wang Daoren listened and recorded as he went. Currently, there are three people who can be confirmed: an old woman surnamed Cheng, a young man, and another old thing.

It is indeed an old thing; not every elderly person is worthy of respect. For this kind of person, Wang Daoren does not feel they can be respected by others.

You respect him for his age, but he just thinks you are a fool.

Just like the last two words of our "respect the old and cherish the young," not every child is worth our concern and care.

Of course, with nearly two hundred catties of tofu, it couldn't just be these few people. In Liu Laotou's words, they were the ones who took the lead in going up to take it.

After that, about a dozen people surrounded them and took all the tofu away.

"Alright, that Dama, and Daye, I don't have any more questions for now. It's just that there's one thing: you see, the old lady selling tofu next to me can't eat or sleep because of this matter, so she wants to find those people."

Wang Daoren said.

Upon hearing this, Li Dama said directly: "It's quite easy to find them. That Cheng Dama picks up her grandson every afternoon, and that young man is also often seen around here. As for the remaining Liu Laotou, he plays cards there every day. Look, right there."

As she spoke, Li Dama pointed to the entrance of the small supermarket opposite.

Wang Daoren took a look; there were indeed quite a few people gathered there playing cards, all of them older.

If that's the case... Wang Daoren thought for a moment and said:

"Alright, Dama, and this Daye, there is a matter I need your help with. It's that old lady selling tofu; she's in poor spirits because of this and wants to find the people."

"But as you two can see, we can't do anything for no reason, so we plan to use some legal means to find them and discuss it. I wonder if you two could help by being witnesses?"

Help by being witnesses?

Li Dama and Liu Laotou looked at each other. Legal means? What's wrong with this young man?

How much money is that tofu worth in total? Now he actually wants to file a lawsuit?

However, both of them expressed their refusal there. They come out to set up stalls, and gossiping is fine, but this kind of thing that offends people cannot be done.

Wang Daoren was not surprised at all by their reaction. Being a witness means offending people. You want to rely on a mouth and the two words "morality" to make people offend others; how could such a thing be so simple?

Having stayed at Tengda for so long, he understands President Zhou's mindset quite well. For example, with this kind of thing, let alone relying on a mouth, even if you offered a sky-high price, if they don't agree, there's nothing you can do.

For no other reason than that Zhou Yi himself has been morally kidnapped too many times, so he extremely hates moral kidnapping, even more than other things!

You must forgive if someone apologizes; if you don't forgive, it means you are not magnanimous...

Where is there such a logic?

Therefore, Wang Daoren quickly smiled and said: "Two, how about this, I can't let you offend people just like that. First of all, let me say, you don't need to come forward as witnesses because after having the Monitoring, my evidence here is very sufficient. By then, we might not even need your testimony."

"So the other party will never know about you."

"By the way, let me ask, you two set up stalls here, how much money can you earn at most in a day?"

Setting up a stall is very novel for those who haven't done it, and it feels like it might be very interesting.

But for those who really rely on this for a living, only they know the bitterness and exhaustion. Not to mention the wind and rain, when the urban management comes, they run faster than rabbits.

It is still very cold at this time, especially since Liu Laotou is of an advanced age and the clothes he wears are not very good. He has to stand up and walk around after sitting there for a while, otherwise, he can't stand the cold.

Therefore, hearing this, Wang Daye thought for a moment and said: "At most, I can earn about eighty or a hundred yuan a day..."

Li Dama next to him also said: "I'm slightly better; when there's more, I can earn two or three hundred."

"Alright, you two wait a moment, I'll make a phone call."

He let Wan Hai take the old people to the shop next door to sit down, and he walked to the side and dialed the phone.

"Hello, President Zhou, I have already identified three people here. Currently, it's like this: we need someone to testify so that it's easier for us to handle... It's not that it's absolutely necessary, but without witnesses, it's hard to go to Court like this..."

"What? You are coming over in person? Alright, no problem, I will send you the address."

Hanging up the phone, Wang Daoren hurriedly sent the address. He was not surprised that President Zhou was coming in person, because President Zhou seems to like these "communication" matters very much.

On the other side, Zhou Yi hung up the phone and immediately went downstairs to drive over. He was mainly too idle; among the cases recently accepted by the Legal Department, this one attracted his attention the most.

Looking at the Task Panel again, the task progress has been stuck at ninety-eight percent for many days; it hasn't moved since the Second Instance judgment.

There are still three or four days until Compulsory Execution; no rush. This kind of large-sum compensation can never go smoothly.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry, and after this Litigation, Zhou Yi found that whether it is a platform or a merchant, they all chicken out very quickly!

For example, major platforms; some no longer allow the appearance of a Strikethrough Price. If it really must appear, it must be specifically explained that this Strikethrough Price does not represent the original price, but is just the platform's Daily Price...

No wonder they say our language is profound and vast; look, they have played the skill of changing skins to the extreme.

And that classic "shake" opening advertisement, the kind that will make you mad to death.

His parents plan to come over in a while to discuss the engagement, so Zhou Yi feels that since he is idle anyway, he might as well go and see who these people who take things casually really are!

Driving all the way to the place, Wang Daoren hurriedly greeted him: "President Zhou, you've arrived. It's over here. It hasn't warmed up yet, so don't catch a cold."

Zhou Yi parked the car and walked to the entrance of the Small Residential District. Li Dama and Wang Daye had a bit of curiosity on their faces, and even more expectation.

"Hey Dama, and this Daye, hello to you both. I am his boss. Since you are offending people, how about this: calculated at three hundred yuan a day, I will pay you two for two months. You two help by being witnesses, how about that?"

Damn, this statement not only stunned Li Dama and Wang Daye, but Wang Daoren next to them was also stunned.

He knew President Zhou was generous, but he didn't expect him to be this generous!

Zhou Yi, however, didn't care about these things. After this task is completed, the system will give many rewards. Money is nothing to him; it should be spent when it needs to be spent.

Thus, in Wang Daoren's gaze, the Dama and Daye who were still very hesitant just now immediately began to give their assurances.

What offending people or not offending people; to tell the truth, it's just like what many people reacted to when they said they were scolded by their boss.

You give me two thousand a month, and you want to treat me like a grandson to scold?

If you paid me two hundred thousand a month, never mind treating me like a grandson to scold, Boss, you don't even have to treat me like a human; I'd be that beast of burden doing the work.

No choice, in this day and age, the "what if" industry is too competitive.

As for questions like "what if someone gave you five million to run naked wearing a mask," stop joking; I wouldn't feel secure earning money while wearing a mask, because there are already beasts behind me saying they'd be willing to run a naked marathon for just three million...

It was settled; after Wang Daoren collected the evidence, he prepared to go to the Court to apply for an Investigation Warrant. Of course, he was not the agent for this case; the real agent was Zhou Xinran.

With the current development of the Company's business, it was inevitable to involve the relatives of the Company's Employees, so Tengda cooperated with Fang Dazhuang's law firm.

As for Wan Hai, he took his grandmother to the hospital, preparing to have a psychiatric evaluation done.

He figured that since there had been too much Legal Aid lately, they had actually forgotten about things like "depression"; if it really caused mental damage to the old lady, wouldn't the compensation come then?

Staying here for a whole day, Zhou Yi finally saw those three people; on the surface, they didn't look like that kind of person, but they were the ones who did that kind of thing.

The Case Filing process was actually quite fast, although the staff were very curious when they saw this kind of case.

In her words, there were many instances of looting, but very, very few were actually taken to Court.

Because it really wasn't worth the loss; in the time it took to file a Lawsuit and go to court, the money for those goods would have long since been earned back.

Not to mention that there was only a little bit of tofu here.

But since Wang Daoren insisted on filing a Lawsuit, the Court would not refuse.

Time quickly arrived at the second afternoon; Zhou Xinran, Zhou Yi, and Wang Daoren, having obtained the Investigation Warrant, began to check the Monitoring. Fortunately, it hadn't been long, and the Monitoring had not yet been overwritten.

Among them, the one facing perfectly straight was the Monitoring at the entrance of that small supermarket.

Knowing the purpose of the three, the owner of the small supermarket was very surprised, because he had never seen such a persistent situation, or rather, when people encounter such things, they generally resign themselves to bad luck.

Rarely would they go to such great lengths, filing a Lawsuit and checking Monitoring.

However, with an Investigation Warrant, the Monitoring still had to be checked.

"Look, right here, you see this is the urban management officer, and then the old lady went to argue with the urban management officer on the side," the small shop owner said, pointing at the video.

Zhou Yi watched very carefully, or rather, watching the event happen directly made him feel even angrier.

An old lady took the lead, and then the others all went up; at first, they were just taking the tofu that had fallen to the ground, but by the end, they didn't spare anything, and it was all taken clean.

This footage was shot very clearly; Wang Daoren stayed behind to make inquiries in the vicinity using screenshots from the Monitoring video, while Zhou Yi and Zhou Xinran headed straight to the nearby Police Station.

Perhaps it was because the relationship or some barrier had been broken through, but in short, the two of them felt exceptionally in sync while working on the case together at this moment.

The Police Station nearby was called the Dongjie Police Station; Zhou Yi had never been there before.

Inside the station, the police officer Xiao Lin was working away when he saw a man and a woman walk in.

"Hello, may I ask what you need?" Xiao Lin asked casually.

Then he saw the woman take out some documents and say: "Comrade, we are here to file a Lawsuit and have applied for an Investigation Warrant, so we need to come and check some information."

It is very normal for a practicing Lawyer to come with an Investigation Warrant to check personal information, so Xiao Lin didn't say much and began to check the completeness of the documents, but as he looked, he started scratching his head.

"This is about the incident where many people grabbed tofu a while ago, right?" Xiao Lin looked up, very surprised.

"You know about it?"

"I do. That old lady's son even came to report it to the police. You know how it is, the case value was too small, so there was no way to proceed with Case Filing..."

Zhou Yi nodded to show he understood, then said: "That's why we are filing a Lawsuit. Although the tofu isn't worth much, being taken like that just makes one feel uncomfortable, so we just wanted to be persistent about it."

Persistent again; Xiao Lin couldn't help but laugh: "You also watch that A Yi's videos?"

"Ever since he started making those persistence videos here in our Jingzhou, there are more and more persistent people now. I think this is a good thing, but the Court might be quite busy..."

After learning of Zhou Yi's thoughts, Xiao Lin was very attentive. Just as he said, it was hard for the Public Security Bureau to manage, but if the other party was willing to go through legal channels, they were very happy to help.

Wang Daoren's previous guess was about right; there were fifteen people who looted, and among them, the ones who could be confirmed as the primary culprits and active participants were Cheng Dama and the other two.

But the remaining ones also had to be found one by one; this was a huge project!

Facing Zhou Yi's confusion, Xiao Lin quickly explained: "This Monitoring video is not enough; facial recognition doesn't meet the criteria, so it can't be done. If you want to find them, you have to go to the nearby Community Offices one by one to ask. If they are from the local community, they can definitely be found."

"Once you have their names or anything else, you come here, and we can look up their personal information."

This was the investigation work of the Public Security Bureau...

"There are so many Small Residential Districts around here, it's hard to ask, Comrade. Do you think you could help us out?"

"Actually, you can also check the Monitoring. Pull out all the Monitoring along the road to see where the other party lives. You can do this yourselves; you have the Investigation Warrant."

After Xiao Lin finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yi. Honestly, he didn't think anyone could really go through with this procedure.

There had been similar situations where people wanted to be persistent, but they were basically all annoyed by these troublesome steps.

However, Xiao Lin noticed that the man and woman in front of him didn't have a single expression of trouble.

"Then thank you for this, Comrade!"

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he took Zhou Xinran and left the Police Station.

It turned out to be just a bit troublesome after all that; that was easy to handle. It was just people, right? He, Zhou Mouren, was never short of people.

Taking out his phone, Zhou Yi dialed Fang Dazhuang's number.

"Hey, Fang Dazhuang, I need people here. Didn't a batch of intern Lawyers just arrive at your firm?"

The update is here. Thanks to book friends 2022, Feimaowuyu, Another Newbie, Wantao, Love B Zai. Thanks to the brothers for the tips, thank you.
