89: Getting money is the most important thing
Zhou Yun had already gotten into the car and left, but Kang Weilun was still standing in place.
After what happened today, although he still wasn't entirely clear on what exactly Lawyer Zhou had done, he knew what the other party had paid.
It could be said that for the sake of his Letter of Understanding, Lawyer Zhou had agreed to an extremely outrageous condition from the opposing party!
This meant that Lawyer Zhou would no longer be able to sue Wu Junxian in the future.
Although Lawyer Zhou said not to worry about it, how could he possibly not worry?
To put it bluntly, Lawyer Zhou didn't need to do this at all. After all, he was the one who had injured the man, and his inability to pay compensation was his own problem.
Kang Weilun said nothing more, silently clenching his fists. He wasn't good at talking; he only knew how to act.
If anyone ever dared to harm Lawyer Zhou, he would definitely step forward, even if it meant risking his life to help!
Zhou Yun had already returned to the Law Firm office.
He naturally didn't know Kang Weilun's thoughts, as his core purpose was simply to complete the system mission.
Evidently, he had done enough regarding Wu Junxian.
What he needed to do next was to use the same methods to expose the other labor agencies in Jinghai City.
How to expose them? Naturally, by tempting them with profit!
Many clients choose to swallow their anger because defending their rights costs money, and they don't want the hassle.
But if someone stands up now to be the guinea pig, will others follow suit?
And if this guinea pig has already handled more than two hundred cases, and over two hundred people have received the so-called "Stable Employment Subsidy," will others follow suit then?
Any lawyer could come up with this line of reasoning, but no one could act on it like Zhou Yun.
The guinea pig, the guinea pig is the one most likely to get hit. If you cut off someone's financial path, they might cut off your path to survival.
But Zhou Yun didn't care. "Is it wrong for me to help the general public defend their rights?"
Speaking of which, he had to thank Manager Ma for that knife attack. "No, I must go visit Manager Ma in prison before the New Year and thank him properly!"
Furthermore, he should visit him every year from now on. Manager Ma would surely be very touched!
Alas, he hoped there would be a second and third Manager Ma in the future. After all, he had too much to do later on, and one knife attack wouldn't be enough.
Just like that, time slowly passed. On the morning of the third day, the Xinguang District Labor Arbitration Committee called.
"All the mediation agreements are ready, right? Okay, I'll go pick them up today. And what about Mr. Wu? He said he'd execute the payments within a week, right? Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Zhou Yun called out, "Xiao Duan, come with me to the Arbitration Committee to pick up the mediation agreements."
Xiao Duan nodded upon hearing this and asked, "Should I then notify everyone to come to the firm to pick up the agreements?"
Zhou Yun smiled and replied, "Why should they come to the firm to get the agreements? If this stuff can't be executed, what's the difference between it and waste paper?"
"Let me first confirm the location with Mr. Wu, and then we'll go over together and have him make the payments one by one."
There was no other way. These people had long since lost their credibility. Until the money was deposited, everything was fake.
Zhou Yun didn't want to go through all that effort only to find out he won the lawsuit but couldn't get the money.
In this life, when he handled a case, he had to consider enforcement.
Xiao Duan opened his mouth wide upon hearing this. "Director Zhou, your methods are a bit..." "It's fine, you don't need to come along. You're still young and have a child. It wouldn't be good if someone held a grudge against you. I'll handle it!"
Xiao Duan was speechless. 'Still young' and 'have a child'... putting those two phrases together felt strange somehow.
But first, they needed to go get the documents.
"A few people come with me to the Xinguang District Arbitration Committee to pick up the materials!"
In the office area, one of the overworked intern lawyers was putting on his coat and asked, "Brother Duan, are there a lot of things?"
In front of Zhou Yun, he was Xiao Duan; in front of these overworked intern lawyers, he was Brother Duan.
Brother Duan immediately said, "Of course there are a lot! Over two hundred mediation agreements! Remember those people who came to the firm to sign contracts last time? Director Zhou has already gotten the money back for them!"
What? Never mind the interns, even the working lawyers were stunned.
"That many successful mediations? That must be a million or so yuan! The other party just accepted it?"
"Exactly! Many of those labor agency bosses seem like thugs. Could they really accept this?"
Brother Duan chuckled, "That's why we say Director Zhou is awesome! Learn from him."
The lawyers fell silent. Perhaps some had previously felt that the Director was too good to Zhou Yun, but now they saw that the man truly was amazing.
Meanwhile, inside his office, Zhou Yun had already dialed a number.
"Hello, Mr. Wu, are you busy today?"
On the other end of the phone, Wu Junxian, who was at his company, listened to the voice on his phone and said with a dark expression, "I'm not busy. Does Lawyer Zhou need something?"
Zhou Yun laughed and said, "Oh, I have a small matter. I'll come find you shortly. It's Ousheng Human Resources, right? Alright, see you soon."
Wu Junxian hung up the phone. Although he didn't know why Zhou Yun was suddenly coming to find him, he certainly couldn't back down.
The young man next to him spoke up, "Mr. Wu, someone caused a scene with us again yesterday, saying we cheated them and didn't issue the Stable Employment Subsidy, claiming their child was sick..."
Wu Junxian said dismissively, "Let them make whatever scene they want. Damn it, I realize I've been too kind to them. Without me, they wouldn't even be able to find a job."
"I gave them a chance to earn money, and they still want to cause trouble for me. His child being sick isn't my fault. If they come, stick to the old rules."
The young man nodded. The old rule was to intentionally provoke the other party until they threw a punch.
As long as they started a fight, it was easy to handle. Roles like the young man were specifically put out there to get beaten up.
This was a new tactic now. Being aggressive and fighting back didn't work, because if the wage claimant was injured, it could easily lead to public opinion problems.
But if the labor agency side was injured, then it was easy to deal with.
Last time, they hadn't been careful when dealing with Kang Weilun. Who would have thought that when he started fighting, he would head straight for Wu Junxian, and no matter how they fought, he only targeted Wu Junxian... Back at the Law Firm, after confirming the situation, Zhou Yun dialed another number.
"Hello, Niu Shanghui, it's Zhou Yun. The arbitration case for your Stable Employment Subsidy has been successfully mediated. Yes, we're going to Ousheng Human Resources Company shortly."
"Just tell everyone that whoever wants to get their money should go there. I've already sent the address to the group chat."
On the other end of the phone, Niu Shanghui, who was waiting for work on the street as usual, immediately said, "That fast, Lawyer Zhou? Was it just mine that succeeded, or..."
"Of course, all of you succeeded in mediation, over two hundred people. I mentioned it in the group chat, but many people probably haven't seen it. Please tell each other."
Niu Shanghui hung up the phone, quickly checked the group chat, and instantly became excited.
"Everyone look at the rights defense group! Lawyer Zhou got our Stable Employment Subsidy back for us! Everyone head to Ousheng Human Resources Company!"
Hearing this, a man nearby looked confused and said, "It's all coming down? I'm getting my three thousand yuan too? This... Lawyer Zhou is too amazing."
Heaven help him, he had previously thought that since Lawyer Zhou was handling the cases for free, it probably wouldn't work out, especially with so many people involved.
He never expected it would actually succeed!
Of course, Zhou Yun wasn't actually working for free; it was just that his method of offsetting the lawyer fees with publicity rights made it look free... Everyone greeted each other, stopped waiting for work, and rushed off to get their money!
