Chapter 3801: Chapter 3792: Identifying Problems, Solving Problems

"Scale?"

Zhao Yuhuan looked at Lin Yi, puzzled.

"In the eyes of those who understand things, it’s obviously Xu Hui and the others’ fault, but some people don’t look at it that way; they only know Xu Hui and the others are poor and migrant workers, so they need protection, while Yang Guangwei is the boss, a capitalist, and his behavior is wrong."

Zhao Yuhuan was somewhat confused by the explanation, but Zhao Jing understood Lin Yi’s point.

"Try to avoid these things as much as possible, keep your wording moderate, but report the truth thoroughly. Although you’re operating a media account, you’re formal journalists, different from other MCN organizations; fairness and truth-seeking are our core principles."

"Understood."

"As you do this, don’t feel overly burdened psychologically, just think of it as sifting through followers; we must not let them influence us."

"Understood."

"Anything else unclear? Let’s clarify it all now if there is."

Zhao Yuhuan shook her head, indicating she had no more questions.

But Lin Yi spoke up:

"Could we get a written document with a seal? That way, when we negotiate, we’ll be more convincing."

"That would be difficult, without going through judicial procedures, I don’t have the authority," Jia Hongyuan said.

"But what I mentioned is quite accurate, and if it goes to court, that’s likely how it would be judged, so don’t worry."

"I’m not worried about the court ruling, but if we proceed with a lawsuit, it’ll take at least three months. For this video cycle, if the timeline stretches too long, we need to find a quick resolution since we’re running an account and must consider these factors."

Jia Hongyuan understood Lin Yi’s concerns and seemed a bit troubled.

"I’d love to help you, but it’s difficult to manage."

"No worries, you’ve already helped a lot."

Since Jia Hongyuan was busy, he left after discussing the main points. The three also got into the car and continued discussing the issue on their way back.

"I think we should go explain things to Xu Hui, clarify the pros and cons, and maybe they’ll compromise out of fear," Zhao Yuhuan suggested.

"Let’s not rush; we’ll go back, organize the information on this matter, and present some laws and regulations for more persuasion."

"If only we had a court statement, it would solve the problem better."

"It’s impossible to obtain a court document, but the evidence we have is sufficient. I think you can have a talk; Xu Hui might not dare to be too stubborn," Zhao Jing said.

"If any problems arise later, let me know; I’ll do my best to help."

"Speaking of problems, there is one now," Lin Yi laughed and said:

"We’re shooting material over these days, and Yu Han is using her own phone. Could we get some professional equipment instead?"

"You’ve been waiting for me to address this, huh."

"It’s mainly because Brother Wang is so busy; we feel awkward asking him," Lin Yi laughed.

"I still have several phones in my office used for shooting in the past, you can use them for now. When your videos start showing results, we’ll get you better professional equipment."

"Great."

Soon, the three returned to the office. Lin Yi took a phone and sent a message to Ma Huaiyang, the head of the Group’s legal department, requesting him to handle the matter personally.

Using his connections and the Lingyun Group’s background, he quickly got a written statement with a seal, making their argument more impactful.

Ma Huaiyang was quick, getting the statement prepared by around 4 PM and sending the electronic version to Lin Yi.

Seeing the statement sealed, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction. With this, dealing with Xu Hui and the others shouldn’t be a problem.

"How’s everything going?"

"Almost done. I found relevant legal statutes; they’ve stolen enough to exceed 5,000 yuan, which is sufficient for a criminal charge."

"Let’s head out now."

"Let’s go."

The two set out enthusiastically and soon found the house Xu Hui rented.

"You journalists are here, got the money for us?"

Xu Hui and his fellow villagers gathered around, looking at Lin Yi and Zhao Yuhuan expectantly.

"We’ve met Yang Guangwei and understood the situation, finding discrepancies between your account and reality. We’ve come to further understand the situation."

"What do you mean?"

"Don’t rush to conclusions, listen to me first," Lin Yi said:

"From what I know, Yang Guangwei does owe you wages, but you damaged a piece of equipment worth 200,000 yuan after work, and Yang Guangwei wants you to pay 100,000 yuan before settling wages. I believe you’ve discussed this deeply before, but you concealed it during our communication; am I correct?"

Xu Hui and his villagers’ expressions changed, but instead of embarrassment, they displayed anger.

"What do you mean by our fault? The equipment quality was poor, and it broke with a slight bump. Why blame us?"

Xu Hui’s expression and attitude grew rude.

"What’s the matter with you? Were you bribed? We’re ordinary people being bullied, and you’re not speaking up for us; what kind of journalists are you?"

"We’re journalists but must be fair and just and report the truth thoroughly."

"The truth is he owes us wages and should help us get our money back and uphold justice for us."

Lin Yi kept his expression calm, controlling his emotions well, even with a smile.

"Rest assured, we’ll give you a reasonable solution. If you don’t admit to damaging the equipment, we’ll discuss another matter."

"During work, you secretly took many cables and scrap metal to sell, you won’t deny this, right?"

Lin Yi’s words struck Xu Hui’s weak spot, diminishing his momentum.

Moreover, not just him, even his fellow villagers’ expressions turned awkward.

"When did we steal anything? Don’t believe his false accusations!"

"This is not an unfounded accusation; there’s surveillance video with solid evidence."

After that, Zhao Yuhuan took out her phone.

Seeing the surveillance video, their faces turned sour, even a bit ashamed.

"With solid evidence, any denial won’t help," Lin Yi said:

"Now there are two solutions: first, pay Yang Guangwei the 100,000 yuan for equipment damages; second, Yang Guangwei will pay your wages in full while suing you, demanding compensation for the equipment, and pursuing criminal responsibility for theft. You choose which option."
