Chapter 98: There Seems to Be a Rookie Lawyer in That Video! (Supplementary)

"As the saying goes, the moon sets, the crows cry, and the frost fills the sky; the river maples and fishing fires face the weary sleeper. Outside Gusu City lies Hanshan Temple; to enter the temple gates, you must spend money."

"Everyone, take a look. I clearly have a parking space in the Small Residential District, but just because I provided that video, from yesterday until now, I've been blocked from entering the Small Residential District twice."

"I feel that many Property Management Companies nowadays—yes, I am talking about the Property Management Companies, not the low-level staff—the Property Management Companies themselves don't seem to know they are here to serve the owners!"

This is a point Zhou Yi considers very important: Property Management is there to serve the owners, and the two should not be in an adversarial relationship.

But unfortunately, the Owners' Committee, which should have served as the voice of the owners, does not exist, which leads to the Property Management being able to ignore the owners' voices.

The editing is mostly finished; all that's missing is the Indictment, which requires waiting for the work from Fang Dazhuang's side.

Facts have proven that when it comes to filing a Lawsuit, Fang Dazhuang's speed is always very fast.

It was the familiar Case Filing hall of the Guangming District Court; when Fang Dazhuang walked in, several of the familiar staff in the Case Filing hall were a bit tongue-tied.

"How many times has Teacher Fang been here recently?"

"I don't know, five or six times. Anyway, I've seen him quite a few times. Yesterday, I even heard Judge Li say that Teacher Fang is about to monopolize our Civil Division No. 2..."

"Teacher Fang, what kind of case is it this time?"

Fang Dazhuang sat down with Zhou Xinran and began to take out the materials.

"This time? The demands for this one are a bit special."

The receptionist who had previously reviewed the noise disturbance case looked at Fang Dazhuang and secretly laughed to himself: Teacher Fang, basically all your cases are a bit special now...

Except for that Criminal Private Prosecution case, the others all belong to the very, very rare type of cases. Of course, compared to that, the Criminal Private Prosecution case is also very rare...

It just feels like this Teacher Fang specializes in taking these very obscure, minor cases with little to no profit.

To put it simply, the noise disturbance case—even if he wins, it's only a thousand yuan. For a big Lawyer like him, how much does one court appearance cost...

So the reviewer felt that they were already used to it; what could possibly be more special than that noise disturbance case?

As a result, after taking the materials and the Indictment to look them over, a few words popped out of their mouth: "You want the Property Management to disclose these... these materials to the plaintiff?"

Looking closely, even a reviewer who has read countless case files felt a bit dizzy. It was densely packed with everything from the general layout plan of the Small Residential District's construction area, to the certificates of the management staff proving they are qualified to hold their posts, the various fees of the Small Residential District, the basis for those fees, the detailed income from public areas, and the Maintenance Record for equipment and facilities in public areas...

It was even so outrageous as to include the completion drawings for the underground pipe network and supporting facilities...

In short, everything one could think of—and things one couldn't—were all written on it.

The reviewer could swear that this was definitely the most special Indictment they had seen since they started in this profession...

"Teacher Fang, this... this requires us to conduct a detailed review. I'm not sure how long it will take to notify you."

"No problem, take your time with the review. I'll just wait right here!"

Case filing now follows the Case Registration System, and Fang Dazhuang has always been very confident.

This kind of lawsuit fought using the Right to Know has been his dream for a long time, but unfortunately, many people do not consider it a right.

They even feel that these things have nothing to do with them.

Therefore, Fang Dazhuang is very excited right now...

Because there are too many things that need to be produced by the Property Management, to the point that even the reviewer themselves doesn't quite know if some of these things fall under the scope of the owners' Right to Know.

After all... there really aren't many people who specialize in researching this area.

And after reviewing for a long time, finally, the reviewer notified Fang Dazhuang.

"Alright, Teacher Fang, the case has been filed. This case is indeed very... very typical. If possible, we will also treat it as a classic case."

Many accounts between Property Management and owners are a muddled mess; this lawsuit is indeed very classic!

With the case filed, Fang Dazhuang quickly sent the Case Filing receipt and the Indictment to Zhou Yi.

He knows that Zhou Yi makes videos—after all, he had even received money—but he had never actually watched Zhou Yi's videos.

So this time, when Zhou Yi told him again that he wanted to process Fang Dazhuang's previous "Three Strategies" and put them into a video, Fang Dazhuang became slightly interested.

How about... going to watch his videos?

I heard that kid's videos have been quite popular lately.

But Fang Dazhuang is proficient in law, yet doesn't know much about online videos, so he thought for a moment and said: "Xinran, do you know a website called, what is it, P Station?"

Huh? P Station?

Zhou Xinran, who was following Fang Dazhuang out of the Court, was stunned. Her first reaction was a bit negative, but then she thought about Teacher Fang's current age, and she hadn't heard of him being married...

But still, has the relationship between her and Teacher Fang reached this point?

Can this kind of thing be brought up and asked about so directly?

Or did Teacher Fang mishear...

"Teacher Fang, the P Station you mentioned... it should be Bilibili, right?"

"Oh right, it's Bilibili, I remembered it wrong. Eh, is there also a P Station?"

"No, no, Teacher Fang, there is no such website. By the way, what do you want to do on Bilibili?"

Fang Dazhuang stroked his chin and said: "Isn't it said that that kid Zhou Yi makes videos online? He even invited me to popularize the law for everyone before. I just wanted to go up and see how his videos are."

"I heard his videos are about being serious about certain things in life, mainly talking about how to use legal means to seek Legal Aid, do you know?"

"I don't know about that yet, Teacher Fang. I've been very busy every day, I haven't had time to watch videos at all."

This is the truth; when lawyers first start out, they are especially busy, and staying up late to work overtime is a common occurrence.

And they don't even make much money...

But that Zhou Yi is actually an Up Master.

No wonder he had a camera on his chest when I saw him last time... Oh no!

Zhou Xinran suddenly slapped her forehead, which gave Fang Dazhuang, who was preparing to go drive, a start.

"What's wrong with you? Is there something bothering you? Tell me and let me be happy about it."

Having followed Fang Dazhuang for a few days, Zhou Xinran was already learning to be immune to his cold, self-proclaimed humorous remarks.

"Teacher Fang, stop joking. That Zhou Yi must have filmed the previous cases and put them online, right?" Zhou Xinran asked hurriedly.

Fang Dazhuang nodded: "I suppose so."

He paused, as if remembering something, and a smile appeared on his face: "Right, he told me that when the lawsuit for that internet celebrity was uploaded, everyone was laughing, saying that the little rookie Lawyer in it was truly too miserable."

"The first time it was that kind of client, the second time it was actually that kind of client again, and most importantly, both times they ran into me, hahaha..."

Under Zhou Xinran's gaze, Fang Dazhuang's laughter slowly stopped.

"Oh right, that little rookie Lawyer is you."

"Eh, I forgot, let's go, let's go eat first, today we're having Li Zhuang White Meat..."

A person cannot, at the very least, one should not... It is just a pity that Zhou Xinran felt that since she was under someone else's roof, she had no choice but to bow her head.

If one day I rise with the wind, I shall soar ninety thousand li straight up!

In Yuefu Residential Quarter, Zhou Yi, who was once again wandering around the Small Residential District out of boredom, saw the Photo that Fang Dazhuang had sent him, and not long after, he was asked to send over some video links.

What is going on? Didn't Fang Dazhuang not like watching videos before? Even when he filmed a video himself, he had to pay him.

But it didn't matter; Zhou Yi sent the several video links over directly.

Immediately, he went upstairs and started editing the video, cutting the Indictment and the Case Filing receipt into it.

Of course, the matter regarding Tax Evasion would not be released in the first video.

This thing is a time bomb; if you poke it out too early, it might cause some butterfly effect, so he still planned to wait until the incident occurred before releasing the video.

Perfect, work done!

Click to upload the video.

The time spent waiting for review is always boring; with the release of that summary video, now basically very few people are flaming him.

Actually, this matter has made the atmosphere among some Anchors on the internet a bit clearer.

Before, one always felt that anything could be said on the internet, and for the sake of traffic, any rhythm could be stirred up, regardless of the consequences.

But now, before stirring up a rhythm, one has to think: if one does this, and the other party is a greenhorn who also learns to initiate a Criminal Private Prosecution, then it will be troublesome.

Especially since Zhou Yi's video explained in great detail how to collect and secure evidence, and how to form these pieces of evidence into an Evidence Chain.

These things are the most precious!

The law is right there; what is illegal and what is not, actually, if you go and check, you can know.

But how to prove whether a matter is illegal, and what evidence is needed to prove this matter is illegal, many people do not know.

Constitutive Elements, Subjective and Objective Unity, and many other technical terms make ordinary people feel troubled when they see them.

And Zhou Yi's video is equivalent to telling them: don't worry about the rest, at least regarding the Criminal Private Prosecution for Defamation, you can directly copy the homework.

You only need to reach such a standard, and then you need to collect what evidence, and you can file a Lawsuit!

Because of this, the number of fans for Zhou Yi's videos began to increase, and many hardcore audience members appeared.

These extremely professional audience members expressed various insights in the video comment section, quite like treating it as a legal education comment section.

It was in this atmosphere that the veteran Keyboard Warrior Pusa Xiong saw Zhou Yi's new video.

"My Affairs with Property Management (Part 1)?"

The moment he saw this video, Pusa Xiong did not hesitate and started a comment thread directly.

"Pass it on, the District Bully is finally going to take action against the Property Management!"

Regarding the conflict between the Up Master and the Property Management, many people who have watched the videos all along know about it.

After all, besides disturbing the peace and parking spaces, Zhou Yi also often complained in his videos, saying that the trash here wasn't cleaned up by the Property Management, or that the railings over there were rusted, and so on.

So many people had joked in the comment section before, saying that the District Bully would sooner or later take action against the Property Management to achieve the "unification" of the entire Small Residential District!

To become the true District Bully!

But they didn't expect that this time he was really going to take action against the Property Management.

And while Pusa Xiong started watching the video, Yuan Jie had also already begun.

"It's actually about the Property Management. It seems he hasn't directly confronted the Property Management before, so what does he plan to do? A Lawsuit? Wait, the Right to Know!"

Holy crap!

This was the first reaction of many people when they saw Zhou Yi's idea of a Lawsuit; this thing, can also be used to file a Lawsuit?

The Right to Know seems very simple: I have the right to know these things, but while you have it, regular Property Management will make public disclosures, but what about other Property Management?

If the other party doesn't disclose it, what can you do? Can you rush in and grab the Manager by the neck for a physical brawl?

That's impossible, so one can only file a Lawsuit.

"So many items, may I ask if we owners really all have the Right to Know?" someone couldn't help but ask in the comment section.

Soon, a professional audience member replied: "The owner's Right to Know is inherently very broad; at least regarding things within the Small Residential District, owners all have the Right to Know."

"Including the acceptance blueprints that seem outrageous to us, and so on..."

He paused, and this audience member replied again: "Impressive, the person who can initiate such a Lawsuit is truly a big shot."

This is not to say that everyone couldn't think of it.

Many small lawsuits in life are not really things that lawyers who have specialized for decades cannot think of, but because no one goes to fight these small lawsuits.

Not to mention whether one wins or not, fighting a lawsuit is troublesome to begin with, and on top of that, even if one wins, one cannot get the money back.

And since no one fights them, so what if one can think of it?

Therefore, after the first time he met Zhou Yi, Fang Dazhuang had already decided that Zhou Yi was his, Fang Xujing's, soulmate from a different father and mother!

Zhou Yi, who was looking at the comment section, naturally also saw this audience member's name, "High-Speed Typing Keyboard Warrior," who seemed to be a peer of Fang Dazhuang.

At this moment, he was posting comments at a speed that was extremely consistent with his name.

Below, there was another one, who was sighing at this moment.

"This is also a kind of tragedy nowadays; it is clearly a right stipulated by law, but to realize it, you still have to fight a lawsuit."

"Sigh, watching the Up Master being so straightforward, I am truly envious."

Does it feel good? It seems it really does feel good; at the very least, having been so persistent until now, seeing those people who were originally arrogant, telling you to sue them at will and claiming they weren't afraid at all, now begging for all kinds of Mediation—that feeling is indeed quite nice.

However, before Zhou Yi could be happy for long, a familiar person appeared in the comment section.

"Worldly Suffering": Is that it? Still causing trouble for Property Management? Let me tell you, cutting off water and electricity is just child's play. You're going against Property Management like this, just you wait; do you think their security guards are pushovers?

"Young people these days just don't understand anything. You'll find out when you get beaten by the security guards. With Property Management nowadays, you want to use legal channels to solve problems? What are you thinking?"

"After you finish your Lawsuit, they'll still collect fees just the same."

Zhou Yi was a bit stunned; is this guy saying this on purpose?

Is this the legendary trolling?

Or is it that they are already immersed in their own world and unable to extricate themselves?

Of course, Zhou Yi did not know that at this very moment, inside the Li Zhuang White Meat Restaurant, Fang Dazhuang, who was eating white meat, finally accessed his account via the link.

"Recharging a million with a backhand? This video is interesting. Hey, isn't this that noise disturbance case? And this one, newly uploaded, let's watch the new one first!"

Many friends are urging me, and I am anxious too, wanting to go faster, but I really can't pick up the speed today; I am truly not stalling... Making up for owed updates, currently at fourteen chapters. Tomorrow is Monday, routine request for votes, tips depend on everyone's mood.
