Chapter 99: The System's Grand Gesture! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

~15 min read 2,952 words

"Hey Xinran, tell me... why do these viewers call me Lawless Madman Zhang San?"

While watching the video, Fang Dazhuang asked.

He was currently watching the video Zhou Yi had just updated. Although he had provided much of the professional content inside, you have to admit, after it was made into a video and he watched it like this, it was actually a bit embarrassing...

Especially those bullet comments, which kept saying things like "Holy crap, Lawyer Fang is on screen again" and "Is this the realm of the strong?"

Of course, the most common one was still: As expected of Lawless Madman Zhang San!

Zhou Xinran was also a bit dazed watching the video, muttering to herself: "I've only been working for a short time, why do I feel like I can't keep up with the times..."

It's just like many people born in the 90s or even the 95s now; when they were young, they might have been non-mainstream, "shamate," or used Mars text, and they would say things that people born in the 80s couldn't understand.

But now? When they see people born after 2000 chatting, they think, are these kids speaking a heavenly book?

Why don't I understand anything?

That's right, don't doubt it; when you can't understand what young people are saying, you are already old. No need to thank me.

Looking at the comment section again, Fang Dazhuang couldn't hold it together at the first hot comment.

"Namo Gatling Bodhisattva": Lawyer Fang goes out on the street— (a two-part allegorical saying, please feel free to improvise).

This sentence itself didn't count for much, but the string of replies below it, such as "no peace for man or beast" and "not even a pig or dog left," made Fang Dazhuang directly doubt his life.

He couldn't figure it out: why, when I go out on the street, is there not even a pig or dog left...

No, this must be asked of Zhou Yi; since he filmed the video, he must surely know the meaning!

This video was still normal, but when looking at the previous videos, the situation was a bit off.

"Haha, look at this little newbie... oh, actually it's fine, they're a newcomer after all..."

"And this one, why does it feel so coincidental..."

Finally, after Fang Dazhuang laughed several times, Zhou Xinran couldn't take it anymore: "Teacher Fang, you keep laughing at me, I've put up with you for a long time!"

And in the comment section, Pusa Xiong's second hot comment had already attracted onlookers: the District Bully was finally going to take action against Property Management; the District Bully was going to unify the Small Residential District!

Of course, the audience had spread the rumors to an outrageous degree. At the very least, Zhou Yi, who was at home looking at the bullet comments and replies, was thinking about whether he should delete them!

What he didn't expect, however, was that many viewers actually still remembered Song Xiaofei!

Especially when the other party was talking to the security guard, some people directly posted bullet comments.

"Mr. Zhou, there were too many people outside just now, Brother—no, I'm kneeling to you..."

Sure enough, the joy of the audience is endless.

From filing a lawsuit to the court hearing, the waiting time is always so long. But for some reason, Zhou Yi received a call; his former colleagues invited him to dinner tonight.

Perhaps because he treated them last time, and this was a return invitation, Zhou Yi agreed directly.

He arrived at the destination on time in the evening and began to exchange pleasantries with several colleagues.

The normal way to open up dinner table culture in our country is that you can't talk about business as soon as you sit down; you have to exchange pleasantries and be polite. Only after the wine has gone around three times and the food has been tasted can you start talking about real business.

"Little Zhou, after I went back last time, I followed the idea you gave me and went to work as usual. As a result, Human Resources talked to me these past two days. Look, there are others too, and they brought out a resignation agreement for me to sign."

"Because of what you said before, I don't really dare to sign this thing now. I feel that some of the clauses on it aren't right..."

In front of Zhou Yi, a colleague from the Company who had once mentored him said.

This female colleague was a few years older than him, named Ma Yao. She was actually still his mentor, having guided him when he first joined the Company.

Last time, Zhou Yi had also told them some of the experience Fang Dazhuang had taught him, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Zhou Yi took the resignation agreement that had been photographed and looked at it. During his own Labor Arbitration and Labor Litigation, Zhou Yi had also crammed on the subject, so even though he was a novice, he felt that this agreement was a bit outrageous...

The whole thing was trying to prove one thing: that the Employee resigned on their own, rather than being dismissed by the Company.

"I didn't sign the agreement. I just said that if they wanted to dismiss me, they needed to give me severance pay, after all, I've been at this Company for several years. As a result, as soon as that HR person heard my words, their face changed immediately."

"They started saying all sorts of things to me, making threats, and so on. By the way, I said I was going to sue, and they were the same as they were with you last time, saying 'go ahead and sue wherever you want'." Ma Yao said with a bitter face.

The few colleagues next to her also nodded.

"Anyway, after chatting with you last time, everyone has started to talk back and argue with Wang Bopi. He has already told quite a few people these past two days not to come to work..."

"Actually, I'm also curious. You say if everyone collectively doesn't go to work, can he handle it?"

"Look at Han Ge and Wang Ge. Han Ge has already been forced into an administrative position, and his salary has been cut by more than half. I heard that this kind of job transfer is illegal, but I don't know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi immediately laughed: "You guys are thinking of going on strike, right? Doing this will definitely make that Wang fellow have a hard time, but how will your severance pay be calculated?"

Everyone knows that the power of unity can be infinitely great, but everyone is different. How can one concentrate everyone together?

Regarding this point, many books have discussed it: common interests!

Not to mention anything else, just in the department of Zhou Yi's former Company, there were over a dozen colleagues, and it wasn't as if they could all resign together just because they wanted to.

If you've only worked for a year, you can resign, but others have worked for four or five years; that severance pay is not a small amount. Why should they mess around with you?

Moreover, there are too many methods to deal with such a collective; playing one faction against another is the most classic tactic.

Tell some people that you will improve their benefits and let them stay, and surely some will be tempted.

Even though they all know that if they stay under such circumstances, they definitely won't have a good outcome later, they will still stay. People are just like that; they are very complicated.

Severance pay... the colleague began to lower their head and drink sullen wine. After a while, they looked up again and said: "Actually, if I could find a good next employer, I would just leave. I don't want to take that Wang Bopi's crap!"

"Yeah, but it's not easy to find a job in Jingzhou City right now."

First-tier cities have many opportunities, but at their age, they can no longer easily leave Jingzhou. Many people have family and children in Jingzhou; it's not something you can just walk away from.

"And Little Zhou, at today's regular meeting, Director Wang even mentioned you, saying that young people like you who choose to 'lie flat' are sorry for the cultivation society has invested in you."

"That's right, he also said you don't have a shred of loyalty to the Company, so regarding the lawsuit against you for major losses, there's nothing that can be done. The Company doesn't want to either, but who told you not to accept Mediation."

Zhou Yi was stunned upon hearing this. He had already left the Company for so long, and they were still bringing up his affairs.

And saying it at a regular meeting—isn't this clearly killing the chicken to warn the monkey?

The point is, whether he, Zhou Yi, chooses to "lie flat" or not is none of their business. What does "society's cultivation" even mean...

"No, Han Ge, what is that Wang fellow planning to do? You all know how he treated me back then. Now that I'm not even at the Company, he still wants to bring it up to insult me?"

Han Ge gave a bitter smile and said: "But we have no choice..."

However, just as Zhou Yi intended to vent a few words, he saw the system interface display three lines of text for the first time in a long while.

Option 1: Continue the labor lawsuit slowly, which will be painless and itchless for the Company.

Option 2: Rush to the Company and give Director Wang a sound beating.

Option 3: Find a new home for the colleagues and teach the Company a lesson by having the Employees resign en masse!

Hiss... I originally thought this system had died after sending Ling Jie inside.

It turns out I didn't expect it to have been holding back for so long just to pull off something big!

No, this actually seems to align with my speculation about the system; whether I resign from the Company, go through Labor Arbitration, or fight a lawsuit in Court, it is clear from the other party's words that my actions have merely caused a bit of trouble.

The other party wants Mediation, but since I refuse to mediate no matter what, they might be looking to use the method of suing to the end to make an example for other Employees.

It's just that this Option 3...

Zhou Yi was uneasy, so he made an excuse to go to the restroom and immediately came out to dial Fang Dazhuang's phone number.

"Hello, Zhou Yi? I was just about to call you. What do you mean by that Lawless Madman Zhang San, and why is it that as soon as I hit the streets, everything is in chaos?"

Uh... Zhou Yi felt cold sweat breaking out and hurriedly said, "Fang Dazhuang, I'll tell you about that later. I have a matter here; tell me first if this is legal..."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi told Fang Dazhuang about the third option given by the system.

"Legal? Zhou Yi, why would you think doing this is illegal? Isn't this just letting Employees switch jobs collectively? What's the big deal? Those headhunters and agencies offer all sorts of conditions when they poach people."

"Anyway, you are a freelancer and don't intend to look for a job again, so there is nothing they can do to you."

Option 3: Since it's not illegal, then let's get started—no hesitation at all!

"Tengda Company has been bound!"

Note: The system-provided Company cannot be sold, and all remuneration will be injected into the Company!

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment. This time the system didn't give money, but gave a Company?

But this Company seems to be just an attachment hanging on him, Zhou Yi; not only can it not be sold, but he can't even take a single cent for himself...

How is this any different from President Pei!

"Promotion Event activated!"

Event Name: Company dismisses and refuses to pay compensation, so I turn around and establish a company to poach their people!

Event Requirements: Be maliciously dismissed by the Company and refused compensation, and furthermore be used as a negative example for education; teach the Company a lesson by having the Employees resign en masse!

Current Event Progress: 0%

After finishing the call and returning, looking at the dejected colleagues in front of him, Zhou Yi thought for a moment and said, "Everyone, if I find a new home for you all, would you be willing to resign?"

"By the way, that Company is mine."

Huh? Everyone looked up at Zhou Yi in unison. After a good while, Han Ge said directly, "No need to say more, Zhou Yi. As long as you find us a good new home, I can't speak for other departments, but our department will switch jobs collectively!"

"It's just that I don't know if the new home you found needs this many people..."

Zhou Yi smiled upon hearing this: "That Company was just established not long ago. As long as you come, there's no problem. And Han Ge, since you've been at the Company for a long time, you can ask people from other departments."

"As long as they come, the Company here can take them all!"

This... Han Ge was a bit at a loss for words upon hearing this. A newly established Company, and as long as they are from this Company, they will take everyone who comes over—that's a bit absurd.

Suddenly, Han Ge looked at Zhou Yi in front of him and thought of the previous rumors that this colleague was very wealthy. Could this Company be... that wouldn't be the case, right?

The so-called Promotion Event that suddenly appeared in the system made Zhou Yi very pleasantly surprised!

It is true that he would reach completion if there were one more event, but he never expected it to be this one!

Ever since he turned around and topped up one million, he had been entangled with the Company. Even with the system, he hadn't had a good solution for such a long time.

Moreover, the system didn't appear during the Property Management incident, so he thought this grandson had already died.

But now it seems... this ultimate move by the system is quite fun!

Everything was discussed, and Zhou Yi also contacted the HR Manager of this Tengda Company and sent invitations to all the former colleagues who wanted to resign.

Then, he had his mentor, that Ma Yao, bring along his Recording Pen and Camera.

With such a good thing, if he didn't make two videos out of it, would he, Zhou Yi, still be a creator!

In the morning, at Zhou Yi's former Company, at 8:30 AM, Director Wang was already guarding the time clock early.

The Company had recently hired a few young people; they were all like Zhou Yi back then, young people who hadn't graduated long ago and were within their probation period.

The veterans of the Company all knew that although the Company's stated rule was to clock in at nine, in reality, clocking in at 8:30 had become an unwritten rule.

Just like leaving work at six in the afternoon, but try leaving at six and see what happens...

This period was the critical time when the Company intended to clear out the veterans and use new hires, so after Director Wang learned that these young people were "not coming to work on time," he personally stepped in, intending to grind down their sharp edges.

That's right, many leaders in today's society think this way: young people need to have their sharp edges ground down, and only then will they be easy to use.

Ma Yao also arrived quite early today. It was her first time filming secretly, so she was still a bit nervous, but she figured the other party wouldn't discover her.

By 8:50, in the office area, the Company's veterans were basically all seated, while not a single new hire had arrived.

Director Wang looked at his watch, the anger on his face growing more and more.

Finally, a young man arrived while yawning, his hair slightly messy, and he was eating a hand-grabbed pancake in his mouth.

Upon seeing Director Wang, he greeted him directly: "Hey, Wang Ge, morning. You're here so early."

Director Wang was a bit strange. Is this kid blind?

It seemed he didn't notice at all that he was already displeased, so he coughed and said, "Xiao Sun, right? It shouldn't be early now, should it? Don't you think you arrived a bit late?"

"And is 'Wang Ge' something you should be calling me?"

Late? Xiao Sun asked strangely: "Hey, Wang Ge, why can't I call you that? Isn't a name given for people to call out? What's wrong, do I have to call you President Wang?"

"Besides, what time is it now? Look, there are still ten minutes until nine o'clock. What's the rush? Isn't it enough if I clock in before nine?"

Director Wang hadn't dealt much with the Company's new hires before. These first few sentences directly left him bewildered. Why were these new hires like they had eaten gunpowder? They exploded at the slightest touch!

First update of Monday, good morning everyone. Routine request for votes. I haven't thanked anyone for tips recently, I'm truly sorry. And the old rule, the following eight thousand words will be posted later.
