Chapter 134: Fuck You!

After hanging up the video call, Jiang Yun took a minute to compose himself before he began eating his steamed bun.

He addressed the audience in the livestream: "You can pull stunts, but they can't be trashy stunts. That guy's stunt was just too low-quality; it relied purely on being repulsive. So, no money for him. Next."

With that, Jiang Yun connected with another fan.

"Can you hear me, Brother Yun?"

This time, it was a female fan.

Jiang Yun nodded. "I can hear you. Please, start your performance."

"Brother Yun, I don't have a performance. I actually have a real question I'd like to ask you."

Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow dismissively. "Save it. You all say you don't have a 'stunt,' but then you end up pulling the most extreme ones. Go ahead, what's your abstract question this time? If it makes me lose my appetite for breakfast again, I’m blocking you."

Seeing that Jiang Yun didn't believe her, the female fan insisted, "I'm being serious. I really don't have a stunt."

"Fine, fine, no stunt. No stunt means no money. Tell me, what's your question?"

"It’s like this, Brother Yun: I was laid off last month, but my company hasn't paid my final month's salary or my severance package. I went to the boss, but he wouldn't say he wouldn't pay; he just told me to go home and wait. I told him I couldn't wait and would file for labor arbitration. The boss said if I dared to do that, he truly wouldn't pay me and would drag me through the arbitration process until I broke. He said there's one arbitration and two trials, so he could drag it out for at least half a year, and then there are the appeals.

I want to hire a lawyer, but my salary and severance total only a little over ten thousand yuan. I don't have any savings. If I have to give a cut to a lawyer, wouldn't I just be working for them? What should I do in this situation?"

By the end, her voice was clearly anxious.

Seeing that the fan was genuinely asking for help, Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss, if it were any other legal issue, I might not be able to help, but labor arbitration? I can actually help with that!"

A mischievous grin appeared on Jiang Yun's face.

"I ran into a similar problem back when I was working for others. I'll tell you how to solve it. It's simple: in your application for labor arbitration, write that you are requesting the execution of your boss. Just write that, and the labor arbitration board will definitely issue a 'refusal to accept' notice.

Because that request falls outside the scope of labor disputes—it doesn't even qualify as a civil dispute—they will have no choice but to reject the case. Once you have that rejection notice, you can take it directly to the court to file a lawsuit for the first trial. This effectively allows you to skip the labor arbitration stage, which is the part that takes the longest to drag out.

As for the subsequent trial, generally speaking, as long as you keep your time logs and your termination notice, you likely won't even need a lawyer. If you're really worried, just find a freshly graduated intern lawyer. They're cheap, and they need the work experience, so they'll definitely help you with all their heart."

As soon as Jiang Yun said this, before the female fan could even react, a portion of the audience in the livestream erupted.

"What do you mean by 'they're cheap'?! Explain yourself!"

"Even though you're telling the truth, I find that very offensive!"

"Brother Yun, I advise you to take back that last sentence. I have a friend who... never mind, forget it. Give me your address, I'm going to chop you up!"

"Oh, look, the little mages in the chat are getting heated!"

"I know you guys are anxious, but calm down. Us 'corvée laborers' have it way worse than you mages, don't we?"

"..."

The female fan finally snapped out of her daze from Jiang Yun's advice and asked quietly, "But what if I also request the execution of my boss during the first trial?"

Jiang Yun: ...

"Wait, what? Sister, just how much of a grudge do you have against your boss? Do you really think the court would approve such a request?" Jiang Yun asked, looking at the camera, speechless.

The female fan just replied softly, "What if the court actually agrees? What then?"

"What then..." Jiang Yun was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "We celebrate! Throw a banquet! I'm sitting at the widow's table!"

The fan caught the sarcastic tone in his voice and said, "Alright, Brother Yun, I won't joke with you anymore. Thanks for the solution. I'll go try it out, and if it doesn't work, I'll come back to you."

"Don't, don't, don't. If that doesn't work, then you really do need to hire a lawyer. I'm not a professional; I'm just giving you some terrible ideas."

"Regardless, thank you, Brother Yun. I have a plan now."

"Mhm, goodbye."

After hanging up, Jiang Yun sighed. "The point of these calls was for you guys to tell me stories, so how did it turn into me spouting nonsense with you? No more calls. I'm eating. We'll talk more after!"

Ignoring the protests in the chat, he focused on his meal. Fortunately, he hadn't ordered much, and he finished in under ten minutes. After eating, he checked the time.

"Damn, why has only half an hour passed? I still have to stream for another hour and a half. Too long, way too long."

He smiled mischievously at the audience. "How about we shorten the stream duration? What if I only stream for half an hour a day?"

The streaming duration couldn't actually be changed, as there were rewards for hitting the two-hour mark. Jiang Yun was just teasing the viewers. Hearing this, the chat was filled with curses.

"You only stream for two hours a day, and you spend half of that eating! How can you have the nerve to complain that it's too long?"

"Oh, I see. After you change the time, you're just going to stream yourself eating breakfast every day, right?"

"Even civil servants don't have it as easy as you, and you're still complaining?"

"You've gone too far, kid!"

"..."

Seeing the comments, Jiang Yun waved his hand, feigning helplessness. "Fine, fine, I won't change the time for now. Let's go. Today, we're continuing the outdoor challenge."

He got into his car and headed toward his destination. On the way, he caught a comment in the chat:

[Why does Brother Yun always go to these hole-in-the-wall shops to eat? It doesn't fit my image of a billionaire at all.]

Jiang Yun gave a disdainful laugh. "Those of you saying I like these small shops just don't get it. The places that truly make delicious food are always these unassuming little shops. As for those grand, glitzy, high-end restaurants... I've never eaten at one."

The audience didn't believe him, but they had no idea that Jiang Yun was telling the truth.

Chatting as he drove, Jiang Yun reached his destination.

"You guys keep spreading rumors that I’m the 'God of War of Chunxi Road,' so this time I’m not going there. I’m at Taikoo Li! Didn't expect that, did you?"
