85: Sorry, I planned this arbitration.

It was another beautiful morning, and Zhou Yun woke up early; today was the day for mediation.

Looking outside, it was raining, truly embodying the saying 'a layer of autumn rain, a layer of chill,' as even Jinghai now had a hint of coolness.

After getting dressed and washing up, Zhou Yun went downstairs for breakfast.

Although he had moved into this community, he wasn't familiar with his neighbors because he was either on a business trip or on his way to one.

After breakfast, he leisurely strolled to the law firm.

Inside the law firm's office, Xiao Duan was already busy.

"Good morning, Director Zhou. Your materials are all ready, but they're a bit heavy. Do you want me to help you carry them?"

As he spoke, Xiao Duan pointed to two large bags in the corner.

They were filled with all the materials for initiating arbitration, which Zhou Yun had organized, and Xiao Duan had packed.

Zhou Yun looked at them and said, "I can manage these myself. You go about your business."

With that, Zhou Yun walked to the corner, easily picked up a bag in each hand, and walked out.

Xiao Duan's eyes widened. No, he had tried to lift them yesterday when packing, and they were incredibly heavy; he could barely move them with both hands.

His face had turned beet red from the effort.

Yet Director Zhou picked them up, one in each hand, just like that?

And he looked so relaxed, as if he were carrying two bags of cotton...

He subconsciously swallowed, and Xiao Duan said, "Director Zhou, your strength is truly immense."

Zhou Yun had already walked out of the office and, hearing him, laughed, "I was born with divine strength. I'm off now."

The 강화 약제 (Reinforcement Potion) comprehensively strengthens the body; he planned to exchange for another bottle next, as the body is the capital for revolution.

Given his situation, he was bound to encounter various problems, and at that time, he would have to rely on his own body to reason.

Under the bewildered gazes of the other lawyers, Zhou Yun went downstairs to hail a taxi and arrived at the Arbitration Committee in about half an hour.

As he walked in, carrying the bags, the faces of the staff at the counter turned green.

"Holy crap, did you see Lawyer Zhou? Holy crap, those two bags he's carrying, what the heck? He... hey, why is he going upstairs?"

Another staff member said, "Isn't it good that he's going upstairs? As long as he doesn't come here, it's fine. This guy is a bit too extreme. Who handles labor disputes in bulk like this?"

In this atmosphere, Zhou Yun carried his bags upstairs and arrived at Conference Room 202 on the second floor.

Pushing the door open, he saw a familiar face.

Since it was a familiar face, he had to say hello.

Zhou Yun stepped forward and smiled, "Hey, General Manager Wu, you're here so early."

Wu Junxian glanced at Zhou Yun, his face cold, and said nothing.

He wasn't sure why those people wanted to arbitrate together, so he planned to talk to them one by one when the twenty-odd people arrived.

As for Zhou Yun, he was just a lawyer; there was nothing to say to a lawyer.

After only two or three minutes, the staff member responsible for mediation entered. Coincidentally, it was the same chief arbitrator from before.

There was no other way; the Arbitration Committee was short-staffed. Those who passed the bar exam and wanted to become civil servants primarily chose the procuratorate and the courts. Those who joined the Arbitration Committee also aimed to pass exams to leave.

So, many times, they held multiple positions, and because labor disputes were becoming increasingly common, arbitrators were starting to be overwhelmed.

"Everyone is quite early. Let's start quickly then. Today will be more troublesome... Hey, Lawyer Zhou, where are your clients?"

The arbitrator looked around and was surprised to find only Zhou Yun had arrived.

He had already prepared to work overtime today; there were over twenty people, and everyone had different ideas, so it would take time to work with them.

He hadn't expected only Lawyer Zhou to show up!

Zhou Yun heard him and pulled out a thick stack of power of attorney documents: "Everyone's authorization is special, so all mediation today will be decided by me."

Speaking, Zhou Yun looked at Wu Junxian opposite him: "That is to say, if I don't agree to mediation, then there's no way to mediate."

The arbitrator also looked at the opposite side, where Wu Junxian fell silent.

Those people trusted this Zhou Yun so much?

Wu Junxian didn't speak, and Lawyer Tang, sitting beside him, said, "Lawyer Zhou, although you have special authorization, this is, after all, a case involving over twenty people."

"I think it's better to have them come over, one by one, otherwise, we can't talk."

Tang Zihao helped Wu Junxian say what he wanted to say but didn't know how to express.

Between Zhou Yun and those who only knew how to work, who was easier to talk to? Of course, it was those people.

Say a few nice words, apologize, and give some money, and they would definitely agree. Tang Zihao had done this many times.

The reason was simple: many workers couldn't afford to wait. Compared to potentially getting more money after a lengthy lawsuit, they preferred to get some money immediately.

The arbitrator also said, "Yes, Lawyer Zhou, don't you think it's better to have the parties come over? After all, this concerns their vital interests."

Zhou Yun looked at the arbitrator and said, "There's no need. You probably haven't seen this kind of situation before."

The arbitrator laughed, "What kind of situation could it be? I've been an arbitrator for almost ten years; what haven't I seen..."

Zhou Yun smiled at that, crossed his legs, and looked to the other side, saying, "Lawyer Tang, when I say there's no need, there's no need. Why? Because I initiated this lawsuit."

Uh... huh?

Wu Junxian finally spoke, "What do you mean? What do you mean you initiated this lawsuit?"

Zhou Yun spread his hands: "You still don't understand? General Manager Wu, I really suspect you have a kindergarten diploma."

"It means that all these people who sued were found by me, the money was paid by me, so they will all listen to me. If I say no mediation, then mediation is absolutely impossible."

"Is that clear enough?"

Wu Junxian... Wu Junxian was completely stunned, sitting there, pointing at Zhou Yun, but unable to speak.

"You, you..."

Not only Wu Junxian was stunned, but the arbitrator sitting next to him was also dumbfounded.

This scene, he truly had never seen before; this time, it was an eye-opener!

Wu Junxian stammered for a long time before finally speaking, "Why, why? How did I offend you? Wasn't it just a few words? Do you have to go this far?"

Zhou Yun smiled happily and said, "General Manager Wu, don't misunderstand. I simply can't stand your actions."

"People work so hard for so little money, and you want to swallow even that hard-earned money. Your behavior is simply the scum of the earth."

"So, as a righteous lawyer, I can't stand you and want to cause you trouble. Isn't this a very normal situation? Do I need to explain more?"

"Now do you understand? I don't like you, so I'm going to mess with you."

Wu Junxian's face turned terrifyingly dark, and he pointed at Zhou Yun, saying, "You lunatic, you're f*cking crazy, aren't you? Holy crap, I really am..."

He couldn't curse smoothly now; Zhou Yun's behavior was simply too astonishing.

In all these years, not only had he never seen such a person, he hadn't even heard of one.

His 'God-damned righteous lawyer' act was infuriating, but he couldn't refute it because the other party had actually done it...

Looking at Wu Junxian's face, Zhou Yun truly felt great. Now that he thought about it, using cheats was awesome!

In his previous life, to earn money and survive, he truly had to scheme and grovel. Now, he didn't have to worry about anything; he could just tell you directly, I don't like you.

Don't ask, just know that I'm happy!

The law doesn't represent justice, but a person can, even if it's just his own personal justice.
