93: This is going to require a heavy punch!

Before seeing the materials that couldn't even fit in the small cart, Director Huo of the Arbitration Committee thought the people below him were exaggerating too much.

How could anyone bring over four thousand cases for arbitration? That's a person, not a machine. Do you know how long it would take to handle over four thousand cases?

So, even though he knew Zhou Yun had stirred up over two hundred cases before, Director Huo still thought it was impossible.

It's impossible for this many cases to appear all at once these days, at least certainly not in China.

The situation abroad, especially in the United States, is different. Lawyers take all sorts of commissions, so for money, they can generate many, many large-scale lawsuits.

But there's no such environment in China, especially for labor disputes, where lawyers cannot take cases on a contingency basis at all.

No matter what, Zhou Yun is still a human being. It's impossible to imagine.

Three minutes later, Director Huo saw the handsome young man in the hall and the pile of materials beside him, almost taller than a person, and he staggered.

The staff quickly helped him, then said, "Director, you see now, don't you? Over four thousand, no less."

Director Huo's face was twitching, but he was the highest leader here, so he could only step forward and say, "Lawyer Zhou, this... what does this mean?"

After speaking, he remembered that Zhou Yun might not know him, so he quickly added, "I am the Director of our Xinguang District Labor Arbitration Committee. My surname is Huo."

Zhou Yun looked at Director Huo, and his eyes immediately lit up: "So it's Director Huo! You certainly have an extraordinary demeanor. As for me, I'm just here to file a few arbitrations."

Director Huo pointed to the small cart: "You call this a 'few'? Our Arbitration Committee handles about this many cases in a year. You... this is targeting us!"

"Last time, it was over two hundred cases, and we let that go. We actively helped you mediate, and now you're giving us a super double, is that it?"

For a moment, Director Huo even felt that this fellow in front of him was here to cause trouble!

Zhou Yun quickly explained: "Director Huo, please don't misunderstand. I'm not targeting you this time!"

"This time, I've filed arbitrations in all thirteen districts and counties of Jinghai City."

As he spoke, Zhou Yun pulled out a list: "Director Huo, take a look. In Yangshan District next to you, I'm about to submit over two thousand arbitrations. There's really no intention of targeting you."

Director Huo was stunned by the words, reached out, took the list, looked at it, and fell silent.

The list indeed clearly arranged the dozens of districts in Jinghai City. Districts with many factories, like Xinguang District and Yangshan District, had many cases.

Other districts had fewer, with the fewest only having a few hundred cases.

Zhou Yun continued to explain: "If you don't believe me, I have the evidence in my car outside."

Director Huo handed the list back, then casually looked through the small mountain of materials, and said:

"Lawyer Zhou, let's go to my office to talk. Little Fang, you guys quickly go through these... Lawyer Zhou's materials generally don't have any problems."

Dropping a sentence, Director Huo led Zhou Yun to his office upstairs.

"Lawyer Zhou, you've given me a big problem. Let me tell you this: with so many cases, I might not even finish them in a year."

"I'm curious, why are you putting so much effort into this?"

"I just looked; some of the cases inside have a subject matter amount of only a few hundred yuan. With such a low subject matter amount, normally no one would be willing to pursue legal action."

"So, you're bearing the costs yourself again? Doing this violates your lawyer regulations, doesn't it?"

Zhou Yun smiled at the words, then pulled out a document from his satchel and handed it over.

Director Huo took it and looked: "Jinghai City Labor Market Survey Report? Lawyer Zhou, this..."

"All my cases have been charged normally. It's just that I want to do such an academic report, so I paid the corresponding fees to those workers."

"Director Huo, this shouldn't be a violation, should it?"

Director Huo stopped talking, agonizing there. He couldn't finish it; he really couldn't finish it.

Zhou Yun then said: "Actually, you don't have to worry. This is easy to handle!"

"Easy to handle?"

"Easy to handle!"

"How to handle it?"

Zhou Yun pointed to the materials and said: "Although there are many cases, the number of labor agency bosses involved is not many. You have a total of over forty labor agencies involved here, most of which are companies, with a small portion being individuals."

"You can directly call these people here, and then find the Labor Supervision Brigade and ask them if they'll manage it."

"If they do, it's easy to handle. Our three parties will persuade those bosses together to see if they are willing to make up the unpaid wages."

Director Huo hesitated a bit: "This... then..."

Zhou Yun quickly said: "You don't have to worry. At that time, a mediation agreement will be signed. What is mediation? It's voluntary mediation. What problems could there be? Is it possible that even voluntary mediation is not allowed now?"

Director Huo looked at Zhou Yun in front of him. He suddenly felt that this Lawyer Zhou seemed particularly familiar with this area. Look at how he arranged the process.

Of course, Zhou Yun was familiar with it. In his previous life, his role was reversed from this one. He helped those labor bosses fight lawsuits and cooperated with the Arbitration Committee and other units to make the workers who filed for arbitration 'voluntarily mediate.'

"Most people will cooperate with this, but among these people, there will definitely be stubborn ones. Believe it or not, there will definitely be 'unruly citizens' unwilling to mediate!"

"If they're unwilling to mediate, that means they don't want to be decent. So what do we do? We have to hit them hard!"

Director Huo blinked again. Something's not right. This 'flavor' is too familiar. What did this Zhou Yun do before? How does it feel like...

"As for how to hit them hard, don't worry. It's just the usual routine. With the 483 crimes in the criminal law, can't we find a suitable one for them? What do you say!"

Zhou Yun spoke with such fervor. Who said only those demanding wages were 'unruly citizens'?

Why must the Arbitration Committee cooperate? The reason is simple, just like when the Court transferred cases before.

Imagine this: Zhou Yun reporting the cases alone versus the Arbitration Committees of ten districts and three counties in Jinghai City reporting them together. Wouldn't the situation be very different?

Is the law most important? Wrong. Stability and order are the most important!

And now, who is disrupting stability? Who is disrupting order?

Is it Lawyer Zhou? Or... certain stubborn individuals?

The law is just a tool. It must be combined with the situation. Don't always think about going against it. It's unnecessary. If I'm demanding wages, I might be an 'unruly citizen,' but can't the one who owes wages also be labeled an 'unruly citizen'?

Director Huo... Director Huo was numb. He felt that this person surnamed Zhou in front of him seemed to be tempting him!

Over four thousand cases... oh no, over ten thousand cases across the city are no longer just cases. This can already be linked to certain grand narratives.

If this is truly completed, it would be a solid political achievement!

However, Director Huo was still a bit hesitant. He was worried that doing this might cause too big a commotion.

"Lawyer Zhou, I think we..."

Zhou Yun's smile vanished at the words: "Director Huo, there's no need to hesitate. You also don't want this matter to be known by netizens right now, do you?"

"You can also say this to the Labor Supervision side. I believe they will definitely cooperate."

A checkmate.

Xinguang District, what have you done? Such a serious situation, and no one knew about it before?

The Labor Supervision side will be in deep trouble, and the Arbitration Committee will also have problems. The stick from above won't care about these things.

Many things are afraid of in-depth investigation. Over ten thousand cases, involving costs that might exceed six or even seven million, all of which are hard-earned money!

To put it bluntly, once Zhou Yun had organized all these materials, he was already in an invincible position. What do you call being a 'cheater'?

Director Huo finally nodded and said: "Alright then, I agree, but I have to report it to my superiors."

Zhou Yun smiled and said: "That's no problem."

The matter would definitely be reported upwards, but the leaders would certainly agree.

No one wants this bomb to be directly detonated.

The method Zhou Yun provided was acceptable to everyone. It only caused a bit of hardship for the labor agency bosses, just like when Zhou Yun first cooperated with Fengxian County Court, causing a bit of hardship for General Manager Shi.

Everyone works together to defuse this bomb, and then release it as a political achievement. Then everyone is happy.

So, under the astonished gaze of the staff on the first floor, Director Huo personally escorted Lawyer Zhou downstairs. The two looked like they had a very good relationship.

What's going on? With so many cases, Director Huo still had this attitude. What on earth happened between them?

Zhou Yun didn't care about these things. He was very busy today. He had to visit all the city's units!

Either you guys are awesome and handle all the cases, or... everyone cooperates.

Basically, anyone with work experience knows that once an opening is made, the rest will be easy.

When he arrived at another district, he could directly say that Xinguang District had already agreed, and then there was a high probability that the other district would also agree.

This way, the more who agree, the easier the work becomes. Later, if a place doesn't agree, it will become the minority...

No one wants to be the minority!

I hope the labor bosses in Jinghai City like this surprise. They probably never dreamed that someone would be willing to play like this!
