Here is a good place.
Because she had Seven Lù carefully search every corner here, making sure there were no other surveillance devices.
She walked in and sat down on the floor.
That way, she looked only about 1.5 meters tall, not three meters.
The women also sat on the sofa and floor opposite her.
Xia Chujian said, "The first thing I want to say is that the shipping company of the spaceship you were on claims that your spaceship was lost due to a Magnetic Field Storm in space."
Chang Shengnan was the first to react, saying in surprise, "They don't know the spaceship was hijacked by Star Pirates?!"
Xia Chujian said, "I don't know if they know or not, but based on this reason, even if you die, you won't get a penny of insurance compensation."
"Because this is called a natural disaster caused by force majeure, and according to the insurance terms, this does not require compensation."
"So, those who were killed by Star Pirates on the spaceship at that time died for nothing."
"If you commit suicide, you also die for nothing."
Xia Chujian said mercilessly, without giving these women any face.
Because if they want to get real compensation, the situation they will face in the future will be much worse than these few words.
The women's faces were indeed very ugly, and some of them burst into tears instantly.
"What can we do?!"
"Then my husband and son died for nothing?!"
"There are still elderly people in my family... who will take care of them?"
"This is really too much!"
Chang Shengnan's husband and son were also killed by Star Pirates, and there were also parents and parents-in-law at home.
However, she still has an older brother and younger sister in Mulan City, Guiyuan Star, and her husband's side also has siblings, so she is not worried about her parents and parents-in-law being unattended.
But that's not a reason for her not to worry.
On the contrary, her heart was full of anger and injustice.
Chang Shengnan frowned and asked Xia Chujian, "Second Lieutenant, how can the insurance company do this?! Can we do something to make the insurance company compensate according to the terms?"
Xia Chujian looked at her, the electronically synthesized alto was gentle and pleasant, but the tone was not so peaceful.
She said, "Ms. Chang, do you just want compensation according to the regulations? Don't you consider asking them to double the compensation?"
Chang Shengnan immediately asked, "Is it possible? Can we ask them to double the compensation?!"
The others also asked, "Is it possible?! Can we really ask them to double the compensation?!"
They were a group of people who had experienced great suffering in the world, and they didn't want to live in the first place, but when they heard about the insurance company's skin-flaying operation of making money from the dead, they were all aroused with bloodiness and anger.
Xia Chujian said, "Of course. First of all, according to the insurance terms, as long as we provide enough evidence, they must compensate according to the regulations."
"Secondly, the damage you have suffered was caused by the irregular operation of the shipping company."
"You can also sue the shipping company and demand punitive high compensation from them."
"Third, to achieve the above goals, you can't hide and 'fake death'."
"You must stand up and accuse the insurance company and the shipping company as victims."
"Are you ready to face the public opinion of the entire Empire?"
"I must remind you that this road is not impossible to take, but it is very difficult to take."
"If your psychological endurance is a little bit worse, you will not be able to bear the various dark speculations on the Star Network, and the attacks on your personal reputation."
"Believe me, even if ordinary netizens don't do this, the water armies of those insurance companies and shipping companies will do it."
"I will do everything I can to help you."
"But you have to bear the public opinion from everyone, whether it is support, opposition, framing, or suppression."
"Have you all thought it through?"
Xia Chujian calmly laid out the difficulties and obstacles they would face.
She wanted to save them, but they also had to save themselves, or at least have the desire and take action to do so.
Xia Chujian didn't want to take on too much.
She was just a student who hadn't even gone to college yet, and she knew what it meant to act within her capabilities.
But some people didn't see it that way.
Two women lowered their heads and whispered, "Second Lieutenant, could you please help us to the end and handle this matter for us?"
"Your status must be higher than ours. If you know some upper-class people, maybe they can say a word, and our matter..."
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows. Before she could speak, Chang Shengnan had already sternly stopped them.
"Zhao Xiulan! Li Guifang! What are you two saying?!"
"Second Lieutenant has already done everything she can to help us, but she's not your mother! She has no obligation to take care of everything!"
"And even if it were your mother, would she take on everything and guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and success, with all your wishes fulfilled?"
These words were very harsh.
The two women were just timid and weak, not heinous villains.
They were reprimanded by Chang Shengnan and realized their mistake. They were very embarrassed and quickly said to Xia Chujian, "Second Lieutenant, we misunderstood. Please don't take it to heart..."
Xia Chujian was mentally prepared, so she didn't take it to heart, nor was she disappointed or sad.
She just said very calmly, "The main subject of this matter, from beginning to end, is you."
"If you want your losses to be compensated, if you want your family members not to have died in vain, you must stand up for yourselves."
"Even if others can help you, when it comes to filing a lawsuit, you are the plaintiffs."
"Even if you hire a lawyer, the lawyer can only represent you; they are not the plaintiffs."
Chang Shengnan nodded, "Second Lieutenant, you're right. Thank you for telling us this."
She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and said, choking with emotion, "Can you give us some time to discuss it?"
"On this matter, all thirty-eight of us must reach a consensus."
Xia Chujian nodded and reminded them again, "Yes, if you want to sue, you must sue as a whole."
"If you are individually broken through by the insurance company and the spaceship operating company, you will all be in trouble."
"I'm putting it here: either all of you get the same compensation, or all of you get nothing."
"Don't ever believe anyone who tells you that you can get more compensation by betraying others."
"It's impossible. As long as one of you falls for this trick, all of you will lose this lawsuit."
Chang Shengnan quickly said, "Thank you for the reminder, Second Lieutenant. We need time to discuss it."
Xia Chujian said, "You don't have much time, and I don't have much time either."
"I'll give you five minutes to think it through."
"If you can't reach a consensus after five minutes, then forget I said anything."
"The Special Security Bureau will testify that your spaceship was hijacked by Star Pirates, and the deceased will receive compensation."
"As for you, the Special Security Bureau will send you back to your respective homes. There will be no compensation."
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, she went downstairs.
She left the second floor for these women to discuss.
She didn't have time, so she only gave them five minutes.
Moreover, in Xia Chujian's view, if they couldn't reach a consensus within five minutes, then there was no need to continue wasting time.
She knew that these women originally wanted to get the insurance money, hide their identities, fake their deaths, and go to other planets to live as unregistered residents.
But now they realized that not only could they not fake their deaths, but even if they really died, they wouldn't get the insurance money, so whether or not to hide their identities was no longer important.
Xia Chujian went downstairs, and Chang Shengnan said to the women, "You've all heard, we can't always rely on that Second Lieutenant."
"She has her own work and can't revolve around us."
"We have to rely on ourselves. If we can't stand on our own, no wonder those insurance companies and spaceship operating companies don't treat our lives as lives!"
Chang Shengnan's words finally gave these women courage.
They expressed their views one after another: "Doctor Chang, we're going all out!"
"If it doesn't work out, we'll just change planets after the lawsuit!"
They only discussed for a minute before coming downstairs to find Xia Chujian.
Chang Shengnan said, "This is a guarantee letter signed jointly by us, please take it."
"You've helped us, and we will definitely not burden you."
Xia Chujian looked down.
It was a guarantee letter written on a piece of stationery with lace.
It mainly stated that the thirty-eight of them voluntarily decided to sue the insurance company and the spaceship operating company.
They would bear all responsibilities and consequences themselves.
Then below were the signatures and fingerprints of the thirty-eight women.
Xia Chujian put away the guarantee letter and said, "Since you have the courage, I will help you again."
She said, "I'll see if I can help you find a lawyer to represent you."
Chang Shengnan said embarrassedly, "We don't have any money. Can the lawyer's fees be paid from the compensation after winning the lawsuit?"
Xia Chujian said, "It should be possible. I know some lawyers don't charge lawyer's fees unless they win the case."
These women usually had no contact with lawyers, because their living environment did not require such high-end figures.
They were all ordinary civilians from the most ordinary families in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star.
They usually behaved themselves, obeyed the law, and did the most ordinary jobs in private companies or government departments in Mulan City.
They didn't have any particularly outstanding talents, nor were they irreplaceable important figures.
But these people were the vast majority of the population.
Did these people not deserve to live with dignity? Xia Chujian empathized with their identities.
Three years ago, she and her Aunt were in this class of people.
Now it couldn't be said that they had left this class.
They were still in this class, just not as financially strapped as they were three years ago.
When these women heard that there were such lawyers, they were very happy and said, "Then please, Second Lieutenant, help us find such a lawyer to represent us!"
Xia Chujian said, "I'll contact them now. If I can't find one, don't be discouraged. You can also look for one yourselves, don't just wait for me."
Chang Shengnan said, "Second Lieutenant, don't worry, we will also look for one ourselves, but we will wait for your news to finalize the lawyer selection."
This meant that if Xia Chujian couldn't find a suitable lawyer, they would look for one themselves.
Xia Chujian agreed and turned to leave.
She found a Storage Room in Starship No. 18, quietly switched the regular Mecha mode back, and then returned to the office area on the upper level of the Bat-style Fighter Jet.
This is the second update. There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight, which is also a large chapter, continuing the Moon Ticket bonus.
