147: Just for this taste of vinegar, I made these dumplings!
“Huh?” Yu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said, “You’re joking, right? How is that possible?”
As he spoke, he stepped forward, took all the defense statements, and began to read them. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Because the name of the agent listed on them was indeed Zhou Yun!
At this moment, Yu Yun felt as if he was seeing things. How could this be? How could they all be Zhou Yun?
“Impossible, absolutely impossible. Jinghai is so big, how could all these people find Zhou Yun?!”
Yu Yun muttered to himself, even feeling as if he were dreaming.
Liu Supervisor, curious, took a stack of defense statements and looked at them, then also turned into a Xianglin Sao.
They couldn't understand why this was happening, why all the people the company sued were able to find Zhou Yun!
The three of them stood there stunned for a long time, until Old Yin finally spoke, “General Manager Yu, what do we do next?”
Yu Yun pondered with a dark expression for a long time before finally saying, “Contact the Court and tell them we want to mediate. Then, ask that Zhou Yun what exactly he wants!”
Yu Yun didn't believe this was a coincidence. How could there be such a coincidence? They had been suing people before, but they had never encountered Zhou Yun!
As for withdrawing all these lawsuits? That was also impossible to consider.
If they withdrew all the lawsuits, how would their company make money? So, they could only find a solution.
And if the plaintiff has an intention to mediate, the Court will certainly organize mediation; this is a necessary procedure.
At Zhentian Law Firm, Zhou Yun smiled into his phone, “The other party wants to mediate, right? Tomorrow morning, okay, no problem, I’ll be there on time.”
Seeing him hang up the phone, Xiao Duan on the side asked, “Director Zhou, didn’t you say this case absolutely had to go to trial? Why are we mediating now…?”
Zhou Yun smiled at his words, “Of course I have to go. I must meet with them, and only then can I strengthen their resolve to fight the lawsuit.”
Xiao Duan looked a bit confused, “Huh? How can you strengthen their resolve to fight the lawsuit?”
Zhou Yun said with a matter-of-fact expression, “Of course, by thoroughly offending them, making them furious, and then they’ll be willing to fight the lawsuit.”
“Moreover, I’ve already gotten my hands on those cases in advance. If they don’t handle this case, what about the next one? And the one after that?”
“They can’t just not handle all the cases, can they? What would be the point of their company then?”
Xiao Duan wiped his sweat and said, “Then, Director Zhou, are you so sure you can make them furious?”
“Of course!” Zhou Yun stood up and walked to the window. “I’m a professional.”
“This time for the lecture, I really need to have a good talk with those students. Look at how much work I’ve put in to prepare this lecture for them; I’m even planning to send an entire team to the Mental Health Center.”
Hearing this, Xiao Duan subconsciously said, “You wrapped these dumplings just for this bottle of vinegar?”
Zhou Yun turned around and burst into laughter, “Not bad! You’ve made progress following me for a while. This time, it was really not easy for me.”
Time flew by, and the next day, Zhou Yun left with his bag and arrived at Jingnan District Court.
“Hello, Assistant Zhang, I’m at the entrance. Third floor meeting room, right? Have they arrived? They have? Alright then.”
Zhou Yun put down his phone, then cleared his throat, and went through security to the third floor.
Inside the meeting room, Assistant Zhang sat there without speaking, just waiting quietly.
Hearing it was Zhou Yun’s mediation, Judge Li didn’t come directly, saying he had something to do, and then sent her instead.
What could she do? She didn't know what Lawyer Zhou’s intentions were.
Meanwhile, Yu Yun sat nearby, his face very displeased. In his opinion, his business was going well, and then he inexplicably encountered Zhou Yun.
The key was that he could only force a smile now, because Zhou Yun was publicly known to be mentally unstable.
What normal person would go to the Mental Health Center for a mental capacity evaluation!
Thinking this, he then saw the meeting room door open, and a handsome young man walked in.
The handsome young man was Zhou Yun, who now had a smile on his face and said, “Assistant Zhang, sorry I’m late. Shall we start?”
Assistant Zhang nodded silently, and then Zhou Yun found a seat and sat down, saying, “The people across are from Jisuxin Wallet, right? You want to mediate, so tell me your thoughts.”
Assistant Zhang remained silent, as if Zhou Yun were the mediator.
Yu Yun forced a smile and said, “You must be Lawyer Zhou. I’ve heard much about you; this is our first time meeting…”
However, his complimentary words were cut off by Zhou Yun before he could finish.
“Being famous is something everyone agrees on, so there’s no need to mention it. Just tell me what conditions you can offer, and I’ll see if I can agree!”
“What the heck?” Even though Yu Yun had mentally prepared himself, he still couldn’t quite handle it.
“Damn it, we’re the plaintiffs!”
Logically, the defendant should be the one to propose conditions, and then the plaintiff would see if they could agree. But Zhou Yun actually told them to propose conditions!
So Yu Yun said, “Lawyer Zhou, how about this: for a debt of fifty thousand, if Zhu Shuyi repays thirty thousand, we can mediate.”
He felt he had already shown enough respect, directly reducing the amount by twenty thousand.
However, Zhou Yun across from him looked surprised and said, “I told you to propose conditions, and you actually did!”
“What I meant was, you give my client three thousand yuan, and we’ll settle this matter. But you still want her to repay thirty thousand? Are you kidding me?!”
“What?!” Yu Yun immediately wanted to bang on the table. He had never in his wildest dreams imagined that Zhou Yun not only didn’t intend to repay the money but also wanted them to pay money instead!
“Damn it, this is too much bullying! So what if you’re Zhou Yun?”
So he turned to Assistant Zhang beside him: “You see for yourself who lacks sincerity. Isn’t Lawyer Zhou being too unreasonable? Asking the creditor to pay money? Where in the world is there such a principle?”
Assistant Zhang made a gesture as if to speak, and then Zhou Yun immediately interjected.
“Oh, today you’ve seen it, so you can’t accept it, right? Then let’s go to trial.”
He wasn’t actually talking nonsense. From the time Zhu Shuyi borrowed five thousand until now, the money she had repaid was already nine thousand.
And calculated according to this year’s LPR, the highest one-year interest on five thousand yuan could only reach six hundred and twenty yuan.
Excluding this six hundred and twenty yuan, the excess money should all be refunded.
So Zhou Yun had even asked for less; the amount he was preparing to submit to the Public Security Bureau for registration was three thousand three hundred and eighty yuan.
Although the goal was to provoke the other party, the provocation was legal provocation, and everything he did was based on legal grounds.
Assistant Zhang returned to her silent demeanor.
Yu Yun finally couldn’t hold back, slamming the table and saying, “Zhou Yun, what is the meaning of this?!”
Zhou Yun said naturally, “Of course, it’s the meaning of mediation. What else could it be? If you don’t agree, then we go to trial. Is there a problem?”
The last sentence was directed at Assistant Zhang, who finally spoke, “No problem.”
Zhou Yun then looked at the other side, “See? Don’t always think about other things; think more about your own problems.”
Yu Yun couldn’t help it and stared at Zhou Yun, saying, “Yesterday, we received a stack of defense statements, and the agent on all of them was you. What does that mean?”
Zhou Yun chuckled at his words, “What could that mean? If someone pays me to fight a lawsuit, of course I’ll take it. What, have you ever heard of a prostitute who doesn’t take clients?”
“Uh, this…” Yu Yun was instantly at a loss for words. He could now confirm that the guy opposite him had a problem in his head; he even cursed himself when he went crazy.
Assistant Zhang’s expression changed for the first time, seemingly trying to suppress a laugh.
Yu Yun was silent for a moment and then said, “You did this on purpose, didn’t you? You did it on purpose!”
Zhou Yun also stood up and laughed loudly, “Of course I did it on purpose! Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? I just want to go against you guys. What, are you unhappy?”
“Damn you!!!” Yu Yun roared, but he didn’t lunge forward.
It was well-known in the legal community that Zhou Yun was the most formidable fighter among lawyers. Although not many stories circulated online, Yu Yun considered himself a smart person and knew not to suffer immediate losses.
And the key was that Zhou Yun was well-versed in criminal law!
He could kill you and still claim self-defense!
So Yu Yun could only drop a sentence: “Zhou, you just wait for me!”
