88: Letter of apology? Write one for the prosecutor!

It was the familiar Arbitration Court, the familiar meeting room, and the familiar arbitrator.

If you were to ask who among these people was most keen on mediation, it wasn't Wu Junxian, but this arbitrator!

When he learned yesterday after work that Zhou Yun had brought out another fifty cases, his face turned green.

No, this absolutely must be mediated. If it isn't, he'll be working overtime until the year of the monkey and horse!

Fortunately, he received news this morning that both sides were preparing for mediation, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was quite good.

"Lawyer Zhou, you did well this time. I admit defeat. I'll give you the letter of understanding and pay the money, but you also need to take a step back!" Wu Junxian said, looking at Zhou Yun opposite him.

Anyway, it seemed that this Mr. Wu’s sincerity was very strong.

Zhou Yun looked at Kang Weilun beside him, then spoke, "How does Mr. Wu want me to take a step back?"

Wu Junxian said without hesitation, "For the pile of arbitrations you filed, I have to pay a total of over 420,000. Kang Weilun's 30,000-plus will count as my medical expenses, and I'll pay the rest of the money."

"My request is, Lawyer Zhou, you give me a promise that you won't continue to dig up old scores."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yun immediately laughed.

While laughing, Zhou Yun got up and walked out. Kang Weilun beside him also didn't hesitate and followed him out directly.

This scene stunned the originally confident Wu Junxian.

"No, Lawyer Zhou, wait a minute, we can discuss this. I don't want that 30,000-plus, okay? Don't leave, Lawyer Zhou..."

Wu Junxian saw very clearly that Lawyer Zhou really didn't want to talk anymore, so he was scared.

He originally thought the other party really wanted this letter of understanding, but now it seemed that wasn't the case!

There was no other way. Wu Junxian quickly got up and went to the door to stop Zhou Yun and the other person, saying, "Lawyer Zhou, tell me, what are your conditions? We definitely need to have give and take in mediation."

"Arbitrator Liu, isn't that right?"

The arbitrator on the side also advised, "That's right, Lawyer Zhou. What Mr. Wu said is also correct. Since we're mediating, haggle over the price, don't just leave directly."

Under everyone's persuasion, Zhou Yun finally sat back down and looked at Wu Junxian, saying, "Mr. Wu, you're quite the schemer, aren't you? You want me to stop earning money with just a letter of understanding?"

"I'm a lawyer. You're using a letter of understanding from another case to threaten me and make me stop suing you? Is there such a good thing?"

"I finally managed to turn your situation into an industry, created a pile of cases, and now I can make money by just proceeding with arbitration step by step, and you're telling me I can't sue you anymore?"

Zhou Yun said this and looked at the arbitrator next to him, "Arbitrator Liu, do you think there's any logic to that? I have to make a living, right."

The arbitrator nodded, "Mr. Wu, that really doesn't make sense."

At first glance, it didn't make sense, because no one knew that Zhou Yun had to handle that criminal case well, so normally, even without a letter of understanding, it had nothing to do with the lawyer.

Threatening someone with a letter of understanding at this time was purely insane.

Wu Junxian quickly said, "Then, Lawyer Zhou, what do you need to make it work? Tell me a condition."

Zhou Yun thought for a moment and said, "As of today, including the more than seventy people who were arbitrated before, I have taken on cases for a total of over two hundred and sixty people, Mr. Wu, all of which are the result of your company's misdeeds."

"So my request is very simple: pay all the money involved in these cases, and I will promise you that I will not sue you using the reason of stable employment subsidies in the future."

After Zhou Yun finished speaking, Wu Junxian's brows furrowed. He kept congratulating himself in his heart, fortunately, fortunately he conceded in time, this Zhou fellow really wanted to screw him over!

More than two hundred people, the compensation would probably be over one hundred and seventy thousand.

This was nearly two million in cash. Although he had money, taking out such a large sum would still be very painful.

Seeing Wu Junxian hesitating, Zhou Yun spoke again, "Mr. Wu, do you think it's not possible? Then it's simple, I'll immediately file for arbitration, and we can slowly calculate this money, what do you say?"

Hearing this, Wu Junxian hadn't spoken yet, when the arbitrator next to him quickly said, "Lawyer Zhou, please don't. Mr. Wu... Mr. Wu, you should agree. If you file for arbitration in this situation, you will definitely lose."

Normally, as an arbitrator in mediation, one should not say such biased words, but there was no other way. Listen to what this Zhou Yun was doing, was it humane?

More than two hundred cases, if they were brought over... no, it was too terrifying.

Zhou Yun watched at his leisure. He didn't ask for any additional compensation, because it wasn't necessary.

Asking for compensation for others was a normal act of rights protection, but if he were to ask for additional compensation for himself, like "I won't sue you if you give me X amount of money," then there would be a risk.

Although the risk was virtually non-existent under official mediation, Zhou Yun certainly wouldn't take it.

Moreover, these people were also all the rights defenders he could temporarily find during this period.

The others required time and effort to find slowly.

Wu Junxian got up and started making calls. After several calls, he finally returned, his eyes red, saying, "As long as I pay all this money, you won't bother me anymore, right!"

Zhou Yun nodded, "Yes, you can record it, and I can also write you a letter of commitment."

"Alright, I'll pay. This time, I admit defeat!"

He truly had no choice when encountering a madman; he could only admit defeat.

"There's an old saying in our country: a wise man submits to circumstances. If you don't give it, I can still get it, Mr. Wu. Your company's finances and your personal finances are too intertwined."

After speaking, Zhou Yun made a call, "Hello, Xiao Duan, the other party has conceded. Bring the things in."

Then, under the bewildered gazes of Wu Junxian and the arbitrator, several burly men in suits carried several sacks and walked in.

"These are the materials for the remaining people, Comrade Arbitrator. Then I'll trouble you to work a little, sort them out, and then issue the mediation agreement."

Each case required a separate mediation agreement for convenient payment and subsequent enforcement.

Looking at the sacks, the arbitrator subconsciously swallowed,
