Chapter 582: These Two Are About to Ruin Civil Litigation

Zhou Yi's complexion darkened slightly. To be reasonable, he had encountered his fair share of unreasonable people, but he felt this was the first time he had met someone this unreasonable.

At this time of day, Zhou Xinran should have just woken up, and the matter-of-fact tone in the other person's words made one feel very uncomfortable.

However, since it was a wedding after all, Zhou Yi still said, "Um, this uncle, I'm not at home right now. My wife usually drives that car, but she's busy at the moment and can't go for now. You can wait a little later to move the car..."

Yet, Zhou Mouren's words were quickly interrupted.

"Later? My relatives and friends are all here. What is wrong with you people? I already put a note on it yesterday."

"And you all should know that our Small Residential District doesn't have many surface parking spaces to begin with, just those few. Now that my relatives and friends are here, there's nowhere to park. We're worried to death, and you're talking about 'later'?"

Zhou Yi: "???"

It wasn't that the Small Residential District lacked surface parking spaces; they just required a bit of a walk.

But what made Zhou Yi very curious was why the man on the phone could speak so matter-of-factly!

When he was at Yuefu Residential Quarter, neighbors would also need to use the surface parking spaces for weddings. How did they handle it? They communicated politely, not to mention providing wedding candies and red envelopes, and they always tried to keep the time short so as not to occupy them for too long.

The people at Guangming Peak Residential Quarter might be wealthier than those at Yuefu Residential Quarter, but this level of character was about the same...

Wealth and high character could not be equated.

It was just that, relatively speaking, some neighbors at Yuefu Residential Quarter were more humane than the neighbors here.

Facing this situation, Zhou Yi's reply was very simple: "Then why don't you let your relatives park further away and walk over themselves? Why must I yield to you just because your family is having a wedding? Do I owe you something?"

Still the same point: in this society, we should all be accommodating to others, but one must never take certain things for granted.

The incessantly chattering voice on the phone paused, as if it hadn't expected anyone to actually say that.

But immediately, the voice rang out again: "I say, what is wrong with you? My son is getting married tomorrow, can't you just yield?"

"Huh? So many neighbors in this building have yielded; will you lose a piece of flesh if you yield?"

Zhou Yi couldn't be bothered to talk anymore. Since it had reached this point, even if he had intended to yield, he certainly wouldn't now.

Just as he was about to hang up, the person on the other end said, "Fine, fine. It's a joyous day and I don't want to get angry with you. If you want a red envelope, just say so..."

Slap! Before the other person could finish, Zhou Yi hung up the phone directly.

A truly generous person would have offered a red envelope proactively; did they really need to say it like that? Who are they putting on an act for?

While thinking this, Zhou Yi dialed Zhou Xinran's number.

"Hey Xinran, yes, it's me. You're about to leave, right? Yes, don't drive your own car. I'll come back to pick you up. We'll go straight to your place after work today and won't come back."

"I'll tell you about it in the car later. Anyway, it's another rather disgusting neighbor..."

Why did he say "another"? Since moving to Guangming Peak Residential Quarter, it seemed he had already sent one neighbor inside.

Meanwhile, inside Guangming Peak Residential Quarter, Deng Jiafeng looked at the man in front of her and said, "How did it go, Old Feng? What did the other person say? You're worrying me to death. Is he moving it or not?"

Feng Jianhua put down his phone and said, "He hung up. He won't agree. I even said I'd give a red envelope, and he still won't agree."

"Then what do we do? What is wrong with these people? I don't believe their family won't have a wedding in the future. What is this about!" Deng Jiafeng said with an anxious look.

Feng Jianhua looked at the several cars parked in front of them and was also quite furious. He felt that only about half of the people had moved their cars; the rest hadn't moved at all.

But he had no choice, so he could only say, "Otherwise, just let them park over there and walk over. There's no other way."

"But that parking lot is so far, they won't find a spot!"

Deng Jiafeng thought for a moment, then took out her phone and started recording a video, saying as she recorded: "Come, come, everyone take a look. It's these few cars. My family is having a wedding, and I even said I'd give them red envelopes and asked them to move them to help out, but not one of them will agree!"

"And they call themselves neighbors? This is what a neighbor is? This is their character, right? Everyone see clearly, see clearly what kind of people these are."

After finishing, Deng Jiafeng sent the short video to the owners' group, and then tagged the owners of the several cars one by one.

"The owners of these few cars are just these people. Everyone has seen it now."

Feng Jianhua naturally saw her actions and stepped forward, saying, "What are you doing?"

Deng Jiafeng dropped a sentence: "What am I doing? I'm posting them in the group so everyone can see. What else can I do? Anyway, they won't yield."

"I don't believe it. They won't have weddings or funerals in the future?"

Zhou Yi had already arrived at the Small Residential District and drove into the basement, waiting near the Elevator entrance.

He now understood Zhou Xinran's temperament very well.

For a woman, when she tells you she is coming downstairs very soon, you don't even need to think about it—it will take at least half an hour.

As a result, while bored and playing on his phone, he saw someone tagging him in the WeChat owners' group.

It was a bit strange; ever since he joined the group, he had muted message notifications and had never said a single word. Why was someone specifically tagging him now?

Out of curiosity, Zhou Yi clicked on the owners' group and immediately saw all sorts of comments.

Good grief, were they starting a struggle session against him in the group?

No, it wasn't just him; there were four other households being posted and criticized by others in the group.

"Lelele": What is wrong with these families? Someone is having a wedding, it's just for a day or two, can't they cooperate? We're all neighbors; who doesn't have times when they need help?

"Mr. Baichuan": Exactly. I don't know what they're thinking. It happens once in a lifetime. They even offered red envelopes, why can't you just do it? Neighbors should help each other out.

There were quite a few people holding this attitude, but at the same time, one of the neighbors posted in the group was already arguing with these people in a mess.

Among them, the person called "Lelele" was saying the most, and later on, it was clear that they had argued themselves into a rage and started hurling insults.

Watching these events, Zhou Yi also sighed. He hadn't expected the other party to actually post this in the group because of such a thing, and that so many people were talking about it.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Yi said one sentence in the group: "It is true that a wedding is a major event, but we have no obligation to yield, right? If they had just spoken nicely, who wouldn't have yielded?"

"Furthermore, posting the video in a group of hundreds of people like this, along with such remarks, has already infringed upon our Right of Reputation."

It was just a small matter, but he, Zhou Mouren, had been holding back his frustration because he hadn't been able to be serious about the previous incident.

Lawyer Fang said they were all a bit abnormal now; that statement was correct. But Zhou Yi didn't care. If he was abnormal, so be it; this society needs a few abnormal people to reason things out.

As for the Right of Reputation, if you don't take it seriously, it's nothing, but if you do take it seriously, it meets many standards.

After this sentence was sent, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but the group fell silent for a moment.

Immediately, "Lelele," who had been jumping the most, quickly said: "This is one of the ones who didn't move their car, right? Now he's actually saying people infringed on his Right of Reputation?"

"What is the Right of Reputation worth? Someone's son is getting married, and you're causing trouble for them on such a joyous day. What's wrong with them posting a few complaints in the group now? 'Right of Reputation,' you've read too many novels."

After finishing, he even tagged Deng Jiafeng, who had posted the video.

However, after posting, Zhou Yi did not look at the group again, because Zhou Xinran had already come down.

"Chatting with which beauty? You're chatting so excitedly." Zhou Xinran got into the passenger seat and smiled.

"I don't know if it's a beauty, but there is excitement. You don't know, someone in our Small Residential District is getting married..."

While driving, Zhou Yi explained most of the situation, and Zhou Xinran smiled and said: "Normal, their values are just different from ours. They think getting married is the most important thing in the world, and everyone has to make concessions for them."

The two chatted about the matter just like that, soon arrived at the law firm, dropped off Zhou Xinran, and Zhou Yi returned to the Company.

As a result, just after taking out his phone, he saw many messages in the group tagging him.

Clicking in to take a look, Zhou Yi was immediately stunned.

That person who posted the video seemed to have used their real name as their WeChat name, and was sending several long voice messages there in a row.

To be honest, Zhou Yi is quite annoyed by this kind of long voice message; of course, this is his personal perception, after all, some people just like to send them this way.

He feels that doing this is very troublesome, because you need to listen to voice messages; if they send 60 seconds, you have to listen for 60 seconds, which is far inferior to typing, where you can see it clearly with a glance.

But since it's like beating a child on a rainy day—nothing better to do anyway—then let's listen to it.

Clicking on the voice bar, a voice immediately sounded.

"Infringed on your Right of Reputation? Talking about the law, are we? I've posted plenty of things, go ahead and sue! Let's see who will bother with you. I've never seen such selfish people as you. What's the matter, would it kill you to make a concession?"

Fine, there's no need to listen to those huge long voice bars that follow.

Looking at what others in the group were saying, they were all persuading him that since the wedding is tomorrow, there's no need to be angry on such a happy day, and so on.

There aren't many people who like to meddle in other people's business, but in this situation, it feels like if he doesn't move the car to make space, then he is the one who did something wrong.

Oh my, it's been a long time since I heard that line, "Go ahead and sue." Come to think of it, it feels a bit nostalgic, nostalgic for these lines telling him to go sue.

Look at those big companies; now, as long as they see him, Zhou Mouren, they all compromise very quickly, wanting Mediation of all kinds.

One can only say that this is fate.

He got up and strolled all the way to the Legal Department; coincidentally, it was Huo Pengfei on duty today.

Seeing Zhou Yi enter the office, Huo Pengfei signaled with his eyes, then continued to provide consultation to the Employee in front of him.

"You don't need to worry, this matter is easy to handle. Evidence is indeed hard to find, but, let me tell you, this person with no capacity for civil conduct generally refers to children under eight years old."

"At this age, if personal injury occurs while learning or living in a kindergarten, school, or other educational institution, then Presumption of Fault must be applied."

"In other words, for this matter of yours, the kindergarten needs to prove for themselves that they have fulfilled their obligations; otherwise, they must bear the responsibility."

Zhou Yi sat quietly to one side. After Fang Dazhuang became the Legal Counsel, the internal competition in the Legal Department was very intense; it must be said, this atmosphere is quite good.

Zhou Yi had also heard Fang Dazhuang mention this Presumption of Fault; it is actually somewhat similar to the Reversal of Burden of Proof.

This is also a measure to protect children; otherwise, if your kindergarten or whatever place has that "Schrödinger's Monitoring" break at just the right time, and you say you're fine, who could be convinced by that?

Therefore, it is necessary to use such regulations to urge these places to keep their Monitoring Record well.

The consultation ended, and Huo Pengfei looked at Zhou Yi and said: "General Manager Zhou, how do you feel? We all attach great importance to the basics now."

General Manager Zhou is always inspecting the Legal Department, so Huo Pengfei didn't think much of it.

As a result, Zhou Yi spoke up: "Old Huo, I have a case here that needs a legal professional to handle. Can you spare some time?"

What? It turned out to be General Manager Zhou who had a case!

Then even if he didn't have time, he definitely would have time, but Huo Pengfei was a bit puzzled: why wouldn't General Manager Zhou look for his fiancée...

As a result, before the words were even asked, Zhou Yi had already said: "You're wondering why I'm not looking for Xinran, right? We haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet, so to participate in Litigation, one can only do so as a Lawyer..."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Pengfei nodded and said: "I see, General Manager Zhou, I understand."

After all, as an insider, he understood instantly, and just wanted to exclaim that this couple is truly one family.

Why say that? Participating in Litigation as a Lawyer requires charging fees, because the national Lawyers Association stipulates that Lawyers are not allowed to provide free Legal Counsel.

And a relationship like girlfriend or fiancée does not exist in law; the law only looks at whether you have a marriage certificate.

If you have a marriage certificate, it's different; what do you call that? That's called a close relative, and a close relative is also a type of status that the law stipulates can become an agent.

That settles it; participating in Litigation as a close relative naturally isn't subject to the management of the Lawyers Association regulations, so there's no need to go through the troublesome process of law firm procedures, issuing official letters, paying the law firm, or having the law firm take a cut...

In any case, Huo Pengfei felt that these two were about to break the Civil Procedure Law.

Zhou Yi naturally didn't know what the other party was thinking; he explained the matter roughly.

"I have the records and such here, I have the other party's contact information and so on, and their address is easy to get. Take a look, and tell me if you need to supplement the evidence."

Listening to Zhou Yi's account, Huo Pengfei also smiled; this case of General Manager Zhou's is indeed a small case, and one could say no one would take it if it were outside.

"Alright General Manager Zhou, leave this matter to me, I guarantee it will be handled properly!"

He has already fought I don't know how many of these Defamation of Reputation lawsuits; at the beginning, most of the cases the Tengda Legal Department took were of this kind.

During that time, the Tengda Employees all became like hedgehogs; as long as the other party cursed, whether online or in a WeChat group, if they didn't apologize when asked, then they would go directly through legal channels...

After clarifying things with Huo Pengfei, Zhou Yi stopped paying attention to this matter; it was just cursing in a WeChat group, just something done in passing.

Tonight is the main point; at Zhou Cainiao's home, that feeling will definitely be very special.

A few hours later, inside Zhou Xinran's bedroom.

Zhou Yi got up and stood in front of the window, listening to the huge roaring sound that suddenly appeared outside, and said quite dissatisfied: "Xinran, are there people street-racing here at night?"

Second update, I'm not burning up much today, I feel better. Coughing and a sore throat and such don't matter, as long as my head is normal. My head wasn't normal the past two days, I was very dizzy.
