146: It’s all Zhou Yun!

The large sign for the Director's Office hung on the door, and inside the office, Director Zhuang’s eyes widened.

“No, does that Zhou Yun think I’m omnipotent? He makes a wish and I can grant it for him?”

“And bring them all over? Is this something I can just bring over with one sentence?”

“No, I can’t do it, absolutely can’t do it!”

It was really getting more and more outrageous. Director Zhuang felt bitter. He didn’t know how much he had drunk communicating with Political Science and Law University and Jingnan District Court before, and it was with great difficulty that he sorted things out.

Now there was trouble again, and even if he was the President of the Lawyers Association, this matter wasn’t that easy.

Xiao Duan was a bit helpless but still said, “Director, if you think about it carefully, there shouldn’t be too many.”

“That company might have many lawsuits, but most of them won’t go to trial. Those people don’t have money, so it’s basically impossible for them to hire a lawyer.”

“Not many will seek legal aid either, so you just need to ask your friends for a little information.”

“Besides, even if someone hires a lawyer for this case, they won’t pay too much. Director Zhou is willing to pay a referral fee, so you won’t have a hard time.”

Listening to Xiao Duan, Director Zhuang stroked his chin and nodded, “Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense. I’ll go ask those directors.”

Xiao Duan walked out of the office and came to Zhou Yun’s side again.

“Director Zhou, the Director said it’s no problem, these are minor issues.”

Zhou Yun nodded upon hearing this, “Old Zhuang is capable. Alright, you go get busy.”

Xiao Duan returned to his cubicle and sat down, feeling very tired.

One Director Zhou, one Director Zhuang, can’t you two just talk to each other directly if you have something to say?

This isn’t like before; now WeChat and phone calls are so convenient, but they still insist on having him relay messages.

It’s so hard to be an assistant these days…

But thinking about his current salary, well… being a bit tired is nothing. How many people want to be tired but don’t have this opportunity?

Director Zhuang confidently began calling friends and asking around. Just as Xiao Duan said, many people actually don't hold out until trial when faced with debt collection.

With a combination of soft and hard tactics, various schemes, on one hand threatening to expose your contact list, on the other hand filing a lawsuit, and then saying they can offer installment payments and even debt reduction, most people choose to compromise.

Exposing contact lists is not easily used now, just like certain body-loan situations in the past.

They won't easily send out photos and videos; an arrow drawn on a bowstring but not fired is the most deterrent.

If you really expose the contact list, the other party might just give up completely.

Giving you a little hope, like a carrot dangling in front of a mule, makes you grit your teeth and continue to struggle.

On the surface, it seems like a very simple trick, but that’s because you are not involved.

After much effort, Director Zhuang also found about a dozen cases, and legal aid found about eight or nine.

It doesn’t seem like a lot, but you have to know, these are only the cases where defendants have recently hired lawyers.

There are still many cases that Director Zhuang couldn’t find.

The leaders of those law firms were a bit stunned after learning the situation.

“President Zhuang, are you sure Lawyer Zhou wants this case? There’s no evidence, and the chances of losing are very high.”

To this, Director Zhuang directly said, “It’s fine, our Director Zhou wins every day, and now he doesn’t even want to win anymore, he just wants to find a few cases to lose.”

Then those law firm leaders didn’t want to speak. Listen to that, is that something a human would say?!

Soon, the law firms began notifying the clients.

In Xinguang District, Che Haoming, twenty-eight years old this year, picked up his phone: “Hello, law firm, what’s up?”

“You want to transfer this case to someone else? No, what’s going on? I don’t agree!”

“I came to you, and now you’re just going to casually give the case to someone else? I’m going to complain about you…”

Just then, a voice came from the phone: “It’s Lawyer Zhou Yun from Zhentian Law Firm.”

“He seems to be researching cases in this area recently, so he wants to take over the case.”

“You don’t agree, right? That’s fine, we’ll just continue to handle it.”

Wh-… what?

Che Haoming was stunned. Lawyer Zhou Yun? Lawyer Zhou Yun from Zhentian Law Firm?

As a Jinghai native, he naturally knew Zhou Yun. At this moment, without any hesitation, a fawning smile instantly appeared on his face.

Although he knew the other party couldn’t see it, it was a subconscious action.

Just like Secretary Dakang’s reaction when he received a call from Secretary Sha.

“Ahem, well, that’s not what I meant. If Lawyer Zhou wants to do research, then give it to Lawyer Zhou.”

“I, I actually still want Lawyer Zhou to do it…”

What a joke, that’s Zhou Yun! To have Lawyer Zhou take the case, he could sacrifice his dignity.

And basically, every client had this reaction.

So all the case materials were transferred to Zhentian Law Firm, new contracts were signed, and then Zhou Yun began to file defense statements one by one.

These cases were pure profit… because the Public Security Bureau was already investigating. Once they clarified the situation, arrested the people, and froze the money, then refunds could be registered.

To be honest, transferring all these cases basically meant that Zhou Yun would organize them to facilitate registration of refunds for the Public Security Bureau.

Days passed, and at Jisu Technology, General Manager Yu was still hesitating.

Zhou Yun’s past deeds told him that clashing with this young man would not lead to good results, but… he also felt that what he had done was not problematic, and the other party should not be able to win this case.

Finally, a word from Old Yin made him decide.

“General Manager Yu, at the end of the day, our principal investment in this case is only so much, so it’s fine even if we withdraw the lawsuit.”

“Later, if Zhou Yun no longer pays attention to this case, we can file another lawsuit.”

Thus, General Manager Yu was persuaded.

“How about this, let’s withdraw the lawsuit for Zhu Shuyi’s case first. Old Yin, you go arrange it.”

“And Old Liu, your side should temporarily stop calling Zhu Shuyi. Let’s cool this matter down first.”

Inside the office, General Manager Yu spoke to the two supervisors in front of him.

Old Yin and Liu Supervisor both nodded. This was equivalent to saying, “You, Zhou Yun, are impressive, and we’re giving you face.”

Of course, the main issue here was that they had a guilty conscience, as it was a gray area, and they knew what they were doing wasn't entirely clean.

If they couldn't afford to provoke him, couldn't they at least avoid him?

As for things like canceling the company, that was impossible. The business had grown so large with great difficulty, and there were still a bunch of debts. Canceling now would mean that those funds would be difficult to collect.

Interest, truly, is not something that can be easily discarded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the office door.

“Come in!”

An employee from the legal department walked in with several mails: “General Manager Yu, Supervisor Yin, and Liu Supervisor, these are the defense statements that just arrived, about a dozen of them.”

It was normal for the company’s routine lawsuits to be delivered in bulk.

Old Yin immediately stepped forward, took them, and began to read, saying, “Well, General Manager Yu, that’s all for now. I’ll go study these materials.”

General Manager Yu nodded, just about to say something, when Old Yin’s face suddenly changed. He put down the defense statement in his hand and then, as if crazy, began to tear open other express deliveries.

“Old Yin, what’s wrong with you? It’s just a defense statement,” Liu Supervisor said with a laugh from the side.

Old Yin didn’t speak, just finished reading all the defense statements in his hand, then looked up and said, “General Manager Yu, there’s a new development. The agents for all these defense statements are Zhou Yun!”
