Chapter 78: I Was Cyberbullied! (Seeking First Subscription)

It was still the familiar entrance of the Guangming District People's Court.

But compared to the first time he came, Zhou Yi was not the least bit nervous now.

He had discovered that with the Serious System, coming to the Court now felt just like going home; he truly came here more often than he returned to his hometown.

Beside him, Fang Dazhuang was eating a hot soy milk and a large fried dough stick, saying indistinctly, "So you want to sue that Anchor? Let me tell you, this kind of Right of Reputation tort dispute is quite complex..."

"Say no more, I'll pay extra!"

Fang Dazhuang laughed immediately: "Just kidding. It's not about the money; don't look down on this kind of lawsuit, but if you want to win it well, it is truly complex."

"You said that Anchor deliberately didn't let you explain during the live stream, right? And then she deliberately acted as if that incident was your fault. Hmm, there should have been viewers watching in the live stream room, right?"

"More than just a few!" Zhou Yi said: "There should have been quite a lot of people watching at that time. That Ling Jie is quite skilled at putting on an act."

"And yesterday I watched her live stream, and she was playing the victim again, saying that I was bullying her by relying on my status as a big Anchor, saying she didn't know anything and originally just wanted to go help..."

"However, I believe she definitely received money for this matter, but I have to ask that Song Xiaofei."

Fang Dazhuang nodded. If the other party could be objective in the live stream—not even talking about fairness, just whether they were objective—one could tell what their motive was.

If they were objective, then it was for fame, or to put it colloquially, for traffic, which is also normal.

Anchors, after all, live off traffic. People make a living this way, and they can even help you resolve matters; it's a win-win situation.

But if they were not objective, then there is no need to think about it; they definitely received money. Otherwise, why would they be bored enough to... why would they be bored enough to help one side for free, and not want anything in return?

Are they after Song Xiaofei being fat? Or are they after Song Xiaofei being ugly!

"But Song Xiaofei might not necessarily talk. This matter is a bit..."

Just as Zhou Yi said this, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Manager Xue.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yi answered the call.

"Hello, Manager Xue, is something the matter? I don't think we have anything left to say now. I feel like I need to block you!"

As the saying goes, when people don't see eye to eye, half a sentence is too much. Just looking at the relationship between Manager Xue and that Song Xiaofei, one knew there was something fishy.

Manager Xue's tone remained smooth, and he laughed on the phone: "Mr. Zhou, I just feel that there is a misunderstanding between us, really..."

"Cut the nonsense. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

"Wait, Mr. Zhou. Recently, our Small Residential District is issuing Elevator Cards. According to the Property Management's regulations, you can only get an Elevator Card for free if you register within three days. After three days, you have to pay for it."

"And starting from today, the elevator system has been fully upgraded. You must swipe a card to press the corresponding floor. I just checked, and it seems Mr. Zhou hasn't registered or gotten a card, so I went ahead and got one for you. Tell me, Mr. Zhou, when will you come to pick it up?"

Right, there was this matter too. Zhou Yi had almost forgotten. At that time, he went to park, and the crowd gathered at the Property Management office was all busy registering.

He was curious at the time; had the Property Management changed their ways? They were actually issuing cards for free!

But this Manager Xue was a real old fox. With him saying it like that, Zhou Yi found it hard to hang up the phone directly.

It doesn't matter. Since he already got it, I'll take it. Didn't someone say, sugar-coated bullets—eat the sugar coating and fire the bullet back...

"I'm at the Court today, I'm busy. I'll pick it up when I get back. Thanks, Manager Xue."

"No problem, no problem, it's a small matter. By the way, Mr. Zhou, that Song Xiaofei asked me to pass a message to you, saying he is willing to pay, willing to accept Mediation, as long as you let him drive his car out..."

Huh? Zhou Yi laughed upon hearing this. That guy was supposed to be a tattooed tough guy, but it seems he turned cowardly quite quickly.

Well, isn't this a coincidence? He was just wondering how to get the other party to spill the beans, and now it's possible. Asking the other party for evidence is no problem at all.

"Paying money? Then pay it. Mediation is fine too, but those parking space bollards of mine cost quite a bit of money."

If it weren't for your expensive parking space bollards, how could this have happened!

Manager Xue was also stunned yesterday after learning the price of those parking space bollards. He only had one thought now: stay as far away from this man surnamed Zhou as possible!

"Don't worry, I didn't ask him to pay for that. You guys hired an Anchor yesterday, don't say you didn't hire her. I need some evidence of you hiring her, such as chat logs or phone recordings. If there are transfer records, that would be even better."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yi couldn't understand what they were thinking. They would rather spend money to hire an Anchor than pay him compensation. They were purely out of their minds.

"Ah, this is possible, Mr. Zhou. This is absolutely no problem. There probably aren't any phone recordings, but there are definitely chat logs and transfer records. I'll prepare them immediately!"

"Fine, I'll take them when I get back. That's it!"

After finishing the business, Zhou Yi hung up the phone directly. Did the Property Management suddenly become nice?

But at least for now, he had all the evidence.

Soon the Court opened. He found the corresponding Civil Division No. 2 and began the First Instance procedure.

The other party only sent a Litigation Agent; the others did not come.

But to be honest, this was normal. Like last time, when Director Wang specifically went to the Labor Arbitration, that was what was abnormal.

To be honest, Zhou Yi was not a professional, but even someone like him, who couldn't even be considered an amateur, could see that Fang Dazhuang's level was truly high.

Moreover, his evidence was very sufficient. Whether it was the clock-in records or the salary transfer records, they could all prove that his former Company indeed did not sign a Labor Contract, yet a labor fact existed.

The usually chatty Fang Dazhuang would be very amiable, and even during consultations, he would often tell jokes, but once the Court Debate started, Fang Dazhuang changed into a completely different person!

Without any surprises, supported by sufficient evidence and Fang Dazhuang's performance, the court announced the verdict immediately after a twenty-minute recess. Zhou Yi won the Lawsuit.

And his former Company not only had to pay the dismissal compensation but also had to make up for his previous double wages...

Of course, just as he thought before, the other party stated in court that they would Appeal.

It was just that when Zhou Yi walked out of the Court holding the verdict, he was called out.

"Mr. Zhou, right? You're just in time. This is a Copy of the Complaint..."

Huh? This situation looked very familiar... Zhou Yi took the materials and looked at them. Well, his former Company seemed to have really sued him!

And the compensation amount was quite large, claiming that he had caused huge losses to the Company while working...

Fang Dazhuang, who was beside him, was also a bit surprised when he saw it: "They really sued you? It really is a case of shallow water having many turtles, but they probably still want to force you into out-of-court Mediation."

"It doesn't matter. Since they sued, I'll just respond to the Lawsuit..."

"Right, what are you afraid of? You have me."

"But Fang Dazhuang, I feel like this labor Litigation of mine can't really do anything to my former Company."

Fang Dazhuang shrugged and said: "That's for sure. You are only one person after all, and you only worked there for a year. If they hire someone else, they will at most be a little busy. Paying this little money doesn't count for much."

"I just feel uncomfortable. Should an Employee be allowed to be messed with by a Company at will? Can't I have some way to deal with them? A legal way!"

Fang Dazhuang laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Well, there is a way. If you could get the Employees of your former Company to resign all at once, or even if you don't need the whole Company, just your department resigning simultaneously, the impact on the Company would be greater than your Lawsuit."

This method was too unreliable; people were working just fine, so what ability did Zhou Yi have to make them all resign?

Unless he used a cheat.

Holding the Indictment and preparing to drive home, he opened his phone to scroll through it and saw his audience members sending him private messages again.

"Pigeon Spirit, we planned to go after that Ling Jie after you posted that video today, but she also posted a video. In short, go take a look; it makes people feel speechless."

She posted another video? Zhou Yi hurriedly clicked on Mountain Short Video, and sure enough, it showed that Ling Jie had updated.

The title was: I am just a single mother, and I was cyberbullied yesterday!

Begging for monthly votes! What I wrote yesterday was all trash, so I deleted it. I will post a performance report chapter by noon, and I will count the extra chapters together then. Today I will start by posting the guaranteed three chapters, then I will start adding more, continuing with twenty thousand words!
