Qin Yi quickly gestured for Ma Xiaomei to sit down and asked her which region's barbecue she wanted to eat.
"I'm not picky, I'm fine with any flavor. How about I spin the wheel? I like randomness, I don't have any preconceived notions, it makes eating more of a surprise."
As soon as Ma Xiaomei sat down, several people surrounded her, wanting to ask about the specifics of protecting her rights.
Ma Xiaomei rummaged through her briefcase, pulled out a few papers, and handed them to Wu Gaojie and the surrounding crowd.
"This is a process I summarized from handling similar cases before. I suggest that victims with small amounts of money spend more time filing complaints online or directly filing lawsuits. Victims with larger amounts of money, such as tens of thousands of yuan, should consider hiring a lawyer to handle the matter."
"Tens of thousands of yuan? Yes, I have! I recharged 16,000 yuan at the hair salon and only spent 4,000 yuan before they went out of business. I'm usually very busy with work and don't have time to frequently handle matters related to protecting my rights. Could you handle this for me?"
Ma Xiaomei nodded: "If you don't want to go through all that trouble yourself, you can hire a lawyer. But I still suggest you try to handle it yourself first, so you don't have to spend extra money."
“Attorney Ma, you’re such a kind person! Other lawyers are all thinking about how to make money off us, but why do you always tell us to file the lawsuit ourselves? I’m not going to do that! I like your frankness! Even though I only have a little over eight thousand yuan, I still want you to represent me!”
The first victim of rebellion emerged from the crowd.
"I trust you too! As long as you don't charge too much and give us a discount, I'll hire you to handle it for me. I just looked at the application process and it's too complicated. I'd rather spend some money to hire a lawyer to help me get my money back."
At this time, Wu Gaojie's friends from the Shumei Fitness group also arrived at the scene.
At first, I was just excited to see the barbecue stall, but when I got closer, I found that there was also a lawyer discussing rights protection matters with everyone, and he sounded quite reliable.
So they gathered around and shouted.
"Lawyer, our gym also has many victims, several of whom lost tens of thousands of yuan, and a large number lost eight or nine thousand. We also want to hire you as our representative. Could you give us a discount?"
This is truly a case of unintended consequences leading to unexpected success.
Ma Xiaomei herself didn't expect that the few words she casually said out of professional instinct when she first heard them talking about this would have such a good effect.
She was telling the truth. For small amounts, there's no need to spend money and effort hiring a lawyer; you just need to figure out how to write the complaint and collect the information yourself. For large amounts, it's more convenient to hire a lawyer to handle the process and save time.
Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.
She never intended to do business with them; instead, her patient advice earned her the customers' trust.
With so many people coming to inquire, Ma Xiaomei quickly took out paper and pen from her briefcase, made a rough registration first, and then asked everyone to come to her law firm tomorrow for a detailed discussion.
Ma Xiaomei's daughter sat on the bench next to her, looking a little bored.
Qin Yi placed a plate of hot and fragrant roasted lamb skewers and a large naan bread in front of the little girl.
"Sweetie, Mommy is working. You eat these kebabs to fill your stomach first, and we'll eat together when Mommy is done."
...
When Lu Ziyi and Yang Zhou's roommates arrived at Fanxi Barber Shop, they were dumbfounded.
Two large posters reading "Refund" and "Money Back" were pasted on the glass door, along with a notice from the business owner stating that they had chosen to close the shop due to poor management.
Lu Ziyi said in bewilderment, "When I came here last week, Tony said it would stay open for another month. How come it went out of business before the time was up?"
Six big boys stood at the door and sighed.
"Alas! Life is full of disappointments!"
Just as everyone was dejectedly preparing to return to school, a tempting aroma of barbecue wafted through the air.
Everyone looked in the direction from which the aroma was coming.
"Look what that is!"
"Rainbow van!"
"Could it be Mr. Qin's street vendor cart? How did we manage to spot it?"
"Let's go check it out right away!"
The six boys rushed to the rainbow van and saw Qin Yi serving barbecue to a little girl.
"Boss Qin!" Yang Zhou immediately called out.
Qin Yi turned around and said in surprise, "Oh, it's you? It's been so long since I've seen you guys. What a coincidence that we've run into each other again?"
Yang Zhou yelled, "Well, it's been so long since I've seen you, boss! I saw you last week, but you drove off, and I couldn't catch up no matter how hard I tried!"
Qin Yi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Maybe I was too focused on driving and didn't notice the sounds around me."
Yang Zhou saw a large round plate in front of the van, and a long oven in front of Qin Yi.
He immediately asked, "Boss, are you selling blind box barbecue?"
Now it was Qin Yi's turn to be surprised. "You guessed it without even reading the instructions?"
"Hehe, I'm a die-hard fan of yours. Boss, when you have time, check out Zicheng Yijie's official WeChat account. There's a recommendation article I wrote there, and it even won first place!"
"The last time this rainbow van appeared, weren't you selling blind box lunches? Just now, when I saw that big spinning wheel, it reminded me of those sugar painting spinning things. Every time I go to buy one, I can't get to the dragon, which is really frustrating."
"You're setting up this stall, it must be another lottery-style event, right?"
Qin Yi nodded with an approving look in her eyes: "You're really smart! Your analysis is very logical and almost exactly the same as what you said. This time I'm selling blind box barbecue at my stall. You can choose which type to eat by spinning this big wheel. Come over here with your classmates and take a look at the instructions."
Lu Ziyi was originally looking at the blind boxes in front of the stall, but he heard the customers eating next to him talking about protecting their rights.
So he joined the crowd and listened for a while. It turned out that for small amounts, he could file a lawsuit online himself.
Let's get it done when we get back to the dorm tonight. Right now, it's more important to eat Boss Qin's barbecue!
There are six people in the dormitory, and they decided that they would need to buy six blind boxes to have enough to eat.
I'll use the two thousand yuan that Yang Zhou won from writing about Boss Qin's food to spend.
Everyone who meets Boss Qin will definitely turn into a big eater, and it wouldn't be excessive for each person to eat dozens of skewers. Moreover, every kind of food on this rotating plate looks so tempting that you'd have to try them all to be satisfied.
The dormitory adopted a rule that each person could draw one blind box, and the first four boys each drew four different blind boxes.
The pressure fell on Yang Zhou and Lu Ziyi.
Yang Zhou clasped his hands together and spat in the air, looking as if he was determined to win.
"I want the hidden item! I couldn't get the dragon when I was a kid, but now that I'm older, let me get the purple one!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the customer who has won a red blind box of Xinjiang BBQ!]
"Hey, forget about the hidden item, why did you give us a duplicate! We already got one from Xinjiang BBQ!"
Lu Ziyi laughed and said from the side, "Dude, your luck is bad. Watch me."
Then, wiggling his hips, he said in a cheeky tone, "Look, I'll draw a dragon on your left and a rainbow on your right."
Yang Zhou angrily shoved Lu Ziyi behind him, and Lu Ziyi's sleeve accidentally brushed against the turntable, causing it to spin rapidly.
[Ding! Congratulations, customer! You have won a purple hidden-item BBQ blind box!]
