92: This should be blamed on those bosses who broke the law too much, not me!
“Director, Director Zhou’s side had another group of people come today. I heard they want to sue all the labor agencies that tricked people using the stable employment subsidy method.”
“Are you sure you’re just going to watch?”
Zhuang Zhenrui looked up at the woman in front of him and said, “Something? What do you mean, something?”
“Lawyer Zhou is conducting lawsuits in full compliance with laws and regulations. It’s just that there are more people, that’s all. What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
“Which law stipulates that lawyers cannot handle… large-scale labor disputes?”
“He doesn’t even use the law firm’s money.”
The woman in front of him immediately laughed, “Director, it’s not me, but your stubbornness is really interesting. You used to say every day that you couldn’t handle it.”
“Now you see, Director Zhou is about to begin.”
Hearing this, Zhuang Zhenrui still had a serious expression and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. I’m telling you, how could I, a man, not be able to handle such a small matter?”
The woman, who was Zhuang Zhenrui’s personal assistant, smiled and left upon hearing his words.
Left alone, Zhuang Zhenrui’s face instantly turned bitter, and he muttered, “Old Zhou, please don’t make it too big. I was just bragging before. If it gets too big, I really can’t handle it…”
“Sigh, I’ve found myself a father, haven’t I…?”
Zhou Yun’s office was truly lively. Facts proved that with a precedent, the working people were genuinely enthusiastic!
Originally, many people thought that the small amount of money wasn’t worth pursuing, but now someone was willing to help, almost for free, and there were successful cases. So, wouldn’t you be willing?
They were truly more than willing.
Outside the office, several intern lawyers had already been called over to help, because too many people came, and Zhou Yun alone couldn’t handle it.
After all, intern lawyers were also professionally trained, and with a template, it was no problem for them to follow suit.
Moreover, Lawyer Zhou said he would teach them hand-in-hand and provide certain subsidies. In such circumstances, everyone was eager to do it.
Thus, collecting materials and signing contracts continued until night, and finally, all those who came today had signed contracts.
After the contracts were signed, everyone else left, and Zhou Yun began to work alone at the law firm.
It was the usual routine: first, a bottle of energy potion. Although this stuff only cost five points per bottle, the demand was high.
So far, he had already spent ten exchange points just on energy potions.
But the effect was truly good. After one bottle, Zhou Yun felt refreshed and then began to work at his desk.
In this way, Zhou Yun worked for four consecutive days, drinking two bottles of medicine in total. He collected materials during the day and organized them at night.
By the morning of the fifth day, Zhuang Zhenrui absolutely refused to let him stay up late anymore.
“Do you know you’re prone to sudden death if you keep this up? Staying up late every day, do you really think you’re made of iron!”
In response, Zhou Yun could only express his gratitude for the concern, and then… went home to work.
He actually loved law, but in his previous life, he treated it as a tool for making a living, so in the end, studying law was just for making money.
But this life was different. With the system’s assistance, he felt he could make those laws that were often overlooked or impossible for others to achieve, truly shine!
It took him over a week, with the assistance of more than forty lawyers and the help of energy potions, for Zhou Yun to organize over twelve thousand documents, involving one hundred and twenty-six labor agencies in Jinghai City.
Some of these labor agencies were companies, while others were individuals.
To be honest, this number was smaller than Zhou Yun had imagined, but considering that the labor agency industry was now also experiencing internal competition, it was normal.
Those labor agencies without channels or whose channels were snatched away would certainly not be able to continue operating.
However, over ten thousand cases were still a bit beyond his expectation. Although some of the cases involved very small amounts, perhaps only a few hundred yuan, they still counted as cases.
One could only say that these labor agencies were truly too crazy.
Oh, no, it couldn’t be called crazy. For them, this was just daily routine.
For now, no more materials could be obtained, because many people had already gone to work in other places, and the arbitration time limit also had to be considered.
Inside the office, several intern lawyers looked at the materials, which were almost overflowing, with tired faces.
“This, did we really do this? Holy cow, I feel like I’m dreaming right now!”
“You are dreaming. Most of the work was done by Lawyer Zhou, alright? Come on, hurry up and pack it. I’m curious how the Arbitration Committee will react when they see these materials.”
Of course, these were not just from Xinguang District. Jinghai City has more than a dozen districts, and basically all of them were involved.
It’s just that because Xinguang District has many factories, that area can probably account for over four thousand cases, which is quite satisfying.
Soon, everything was packed, and Zhou Yun began to “deliver door-to-door” one by one.
With over four thousand cases of materials, one can imagine how much paper was used just for printing.
Although online filing is now commonly discussed, the reality is that you must also submit physical materials simultaneously, as anyone who has been involved in a lawsuit basically knows.
He found a minivan to pull the large bundle of plastic-wrapped materials to the Xinguang District Arbitration Committee, then transferred them to a handcart, and pushed it inside.
The security guard at the entrance subconsciously rubbed his eyes when he saw this scene, then looked closely, and was instantly stunned.
Zhou Yun smiled and greeted him, “No inspection? Then I’m going in.”
Leaving that sentence, he pushed the cart all the way to the window.
Fortunately, there was no one else at the window at this time, so there was no need to queue.
The staff member at the window had just been looking down at the computer, and was a little surprised to hear someone approaching.
“Why do I hear the sound of a cart? What’s… Holy cow, Zhou, Lawyer Zhou, what did you bring?!”
The girl looked up and saw the plastic packages piled almost like a mountain on the small cart, and she was almost scared silly.
Zhou Yun, hearing this, looked surprised and said, “Of course, it’s materials for applying for labor arbitration. What else could it be? You’re really interesting. Coming to the Arbitration Committee definitely means applying for arbitration.”
“Do you think I came to the Arbitration Committee to eat? Just kidding, please take a look and accept them.”
The girl at the window subconsciously swallowed and said, “All of them? This, how many are there?”
Zhou Yun casually said, “A total of four thousand six hundred and fifty-eight cases, all of them labor disputes, and all of them involve situations where wages were refused using stable employment subsidies or similar methods, just like before.”
“What, didn’t I tell you before that labor disputes would become more and more frequent in the future, and you should adapt early…”
“Hey, why aren’t you talking?”
The staff member said helplessly, “Lawyer Zhou, the key is that this is too much! Over four thousand cases! How many do we handle in a year? You…”
Zhou Yun still had a smile on his face, but his voice was a little cold: “You can’t blame me for this. You should blame those bosses. Why do they dare to violate the law like this? If they didn’t violate the law, could I come to file for arbitration?”
“What do you say?”
The staff member stopped talking. Facts proved that debating such topics with a professional lawyer was a very unwise behavior.
Now, they could only call their leader to see how to resolve the situation.
About five minutes later, in an upstairs office, the Arbitration Committee Director said in a daze, “How many? Over four thousand? Are you sure you’re not joking?”
“Really? I… I’ll go down and see!”
