97: I hope the branch likes this gift.
Wu Junxian cursed, then picked up the phone from the ground and smashed it again.
He kept smashing the phone until it was in pieces, but still felt the anger in his heart had nowhere to go; he was truly too furious.
The office door was pushed open, and an assistant ran in, saying, "Mr. Wu, what are you doing? Don't be angry."
Saying that only added fuel to the fire.
Wu Junxian directly roared, "That son of a bitch Zhou Yun, damn it! He promised that if I paid the money, he wouldn't sue me. But now he's actually sued all the other labor agencies in the entire city!"
"Over ten thousand cases, I really am..."
Because he was in a fit of rage, Wu Junxian's words were a bit incoherent at this moment.
The assistant blinked at the side and blurted out, "Mr. Wu, if you put it that way, it seems Lawyer Zhou didn't break his promise."
"Look, he sued other people..."
Wu Junxian stopped his actions upon hearing this, staring intently at the assistant in front of him: "What did you say? Say it again!"
The assistant immediately dared not speak. He also didn't know why he had blurted out that sentence without thinking.
But... but logically, there didn't seem to be a problem! He really didn't sue him!
You can't stop him from suing other people, can you? It's impossible to imagine a lawyer not being allowed to take cases.
"Get out of here, all of you!"
The assistant quickly made himself scarce. At this moment, Wu Junxian was unapproachable.
Wu Junxian also knew that what the assistant said made sense, but he was just too angry right now.
Zhou Yun, how could there be such a person in this world? He's purely harming others without benefiting himself. What is he after?
What to do next, Wu Junxian wasn't quite sure. This time, he must have offended all his peers in the city.
However, that Zhou Yun probably didn't have any evidence. How could whatever he said be true?
For now, it should be fine, as long as he keeps a low profile during this period...
Everyone was busy with their own affairs, and the Arbitration Committee was also busy, busy mediating what needed to be mediated.
After all, even if criminal procedures were to be pursued, the workers' money had to be paid first.
That's right, those bosses who were willing to mediate, even if they paid, would still be sent to the Public Security Bureau. As for whether they would not be investigated or penalized because of the payment, that was irrelevant to the Arbitration Committee.
However, it was highly probable that paying the money would make things better. At the very least, there was a chance of non-prosecution or exemption from criminal punishment.
Time slowly passed, and Zhou Yun continued to run around the city. Then, one morning, he received good news.
"It's decided? They're really not prosecuting?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Lu, the handling prosecutor for Kang Weilun's case, smiled and said, "Yes, the leaders have approved it. No prosecution. You can come and pick up the non-prosecution decision when you have time."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yun stood on the street and smiled. Although he had been particularly busy and a bit tired during this period, hearing this good news now was still very comforting.
However, this was not the most satisfying part. The most satisfying part was sending those bosses to jail.
He didn't know why, but every time he did that, Zhou Yun felt like he was soaring to the heavens.
Alas, it's just this one little hobby, nothing to be done about it.
Soon, Zhou Yun dialed a number: "Hello, Lao Kang, I have something to tell you. The Procuratorate has decided not to prosecute your case. Yes, that means you're in the clear. Don't worry."
"Next time you encounter problems, don't be so impulsive. There are many ways to solve problems. No need to thank me, your family has already paid the lawyer's fees."
"I took the money, so I definitely have to do the work. Live a good life, there's still a long way to go."
"You don't need to worry about the rest; that's just a little hobby of mine and has nothing to do with you. Just live your life."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yun continued walking with his bag slung over his shoulder. Nothing could stop him.
At home, Kang Weilun was filled with emotion, embracing his wife Feng Cuilan and weeping: "Wife, I'm alright now. Lawyer Zhou said everything will be fine from now on. Finally, it's over..."
The experiences of those days were like a nightmare. Fortunately, a nightmare is just a nightmare after all. Fortunately, there was Lawyer Zhou.
It was just a pity that he wanted to give more money, but Lawyer Zhou absolutely refused.
While Zhou Yun was working hard, bosses like Ren Weihao were not sitting idly by either.
Although labor supervision seemed like it had to be investigated, people have subjective initiative and would never sit back and wait for their demise.
In other words, people will fight back. It's not like in novels, where apart from the protagonist, everything else seems to be frozen in time, just waiting for the protagonist to stir up trouble...
Ren Weihao quickly sought legal advice from a lawyer.
"So, Mr. Ren, you mean that Zhou Yun handled so many cases by himself? No, that's impossible. There couldn't be so many people willing to file for arbitration!"
Inside the office, Zheng Biling looked at Ren Weihao and said.
Ren Weihao spoke, "I don't know about that, but that Zhou Yun said he actively sought out those workers to file for arbitration."
Zheng Biling immediately laughed upon hearing this: "Mr. Ren, then one thing is certain: Zhou Yun must have handled those cases for free. Otherwise, there's no reason for so many people to arbitrate together."
She had failed last time in stirring up trouble and had originally thought there would be no more opportunities. She didn't expect that an opportunity had now arrived.
Why? Zhou Yun rarely posts videos, and his live streams are inconsistent.
And her? She streams daily without fail, interacts with netizens, provides free consultations, and even hires people to act as shills to create more engaging consultation sessions.
Yet, her follower count just wouldn't increase!
Ren Weihao quickly said, "Then... Lawyer Zheng, what do you think we should do?"
Zheng Biling said, "You bosses can spend money to find more lawyers and collectively complain to the Lawyers Association about Zhou Yun, saying that he takes cases for free, which is unfair competition!"
"This is indeed unfair competition. Using the name of free service to expand the market and increase visibility, the Lawyers Association must impose a penalty!"
"Then you yourselves can also go. Anyway, just muddy the waters. As long as the Lawyers Association starts an investigation, it will be easy to handle."
Hearing this, Ren Weihao nodded. He could only vent his anger this way now.
The power of money was still very strong. Soon, a flurry of complaints flew to the Jinghai City Lawyers Association. Some local peers were already unhappy with Zhou Yun.
Now that there was such an opportunity, they definitely had to complain properly!
In the Lawyers Association office, Old Zhuang was relatively calm; what was bound to come had finally arrived.
It would have been abnormal if there were no complaints about this matter.
However, the number of people was a bit too many, wasn't it? It felt like many lawyers in Jinghai had complained.
Alright, Old Zhuang took out his small notebook and wrote down all those lawyers' names. You all just wait.
He had already thought of a way to handle it, because it wasn't free in the first place. One party paid the lawyer's fees, and the other paid for portrait rights and copyright fees.
You feel unconvinced, do you? Well, be unconvinced then. There are many things in this world to be unconvinced about. Just bottle it up.
A few days later, Zheng Biling's face turned dark as she looked at the Lawyers Association's reply.
"Damn it, this Zhuang Zhenrui is openly protecting his own, isn't he? Fine, I was hoping you'd do something like this!"
Soon, Zheng Biling directly decided to report Zhuang Zhenrui to the Bureau of Justice. You are the president of the Lawyers Association, but the legal profession is not entirely dictated by the Lawyers Association.
Your Lawyers Association still has a father!
And in such an atmosphere, Zhou Yun finally linked up the five districts. Everyone agreed to provide stamped procedures and report the cases together!
So, on a sunny morning, two vans packed with materials drove to the entrance of the Xin Guang Branch Bureau.
Before, it was separated by each district, so it wasn't actually too much. But now, all the evidence from the entire city was put together, over ten thousand copies, directly filling two vehicles.
He believed the Branch Bureau would definitely like this gift!
According to regulations, such cases should be managed by the City Bureau, but you cannot directly report to the City Bureau.
So, they could only come to the Branch Bureau.
