She got 6000 back from the tutoring agency

A client asked if she could get a refund from a tutoring agency. I cast an I Ching reading and said she would get about 6000 back, not the full amount.

Good afternoon Zongyuan, sorry to bother you. I have something to ask. I signed up for a thesis tutoring service last year, and they never helped me get my paper published. I asked for a refund several times but they never gave one. Now they don't reply to my messages. I'm thinking of hiring a rights protection agency to help me get the refund. Can you predict if it will work?

猫猫下午好，打扰了，我想咨询你一件事😀。我去年报了一个论文辅导机构，也没帮我发出论文。我好几次要求退费也没给退，现在发消息不回复了。我现在想找维权机构帮我退费，请问可以预测成不成功吗？

Heaven Mountain Retreat [redacted]. The original hexagram shows obstruction. The changed hexagram shows external restraint in seeking money. The mutual hexagram is Heaven Wind Encounter, which carries a forceful quality. So getting the money back is possible, but there are a few conditions: 1. You won't get a full refund. You'll have to lose part of it, or pay a middleman. The final amount you get will be 3 or

天山遁[redacted] 本卦为阻隔，变卦为外克求财。互卦为天风姤有强制性。因此拿到钱款是可以的，但是有几个条件： 1 不能全款退，需要损失一部分，或者给中间商一部分。最后拿到的是3或

I communicated with them and they said the maximum refund is 6000.

我跟那边进行的沟通说最多退6000

I paid 20000.

交了20000

That's the result of private negotiation. I'm wondering if I should file a lawsuit.

这是私下沟通的结果我在想要不要进行诉讼

6 is about right.

6差不多

Six thousand is probably close, that's basically the number. If you go to court, you might not get more back. For example, if the judge awards you 8000, you'll end up spending 2000 on fees. Lawyer fees plus court costs add up to 2000, so you still end up with 6000. It doesn't make much sense.

六千可能差不多啊，基本上是这个数。如果打官司的话，他未必能退回来更多。就是比如说他最后判给你八千，结果呢，你手续费又花两千。请律师，然后各种诉讼费加一块儿两千，最后还是六千，意义不是特别大。

Client

Okay got it

[emoji]好滴

I'll let you know the final result when it's done.

最终结果我到时候反馈给你

Zongyuan

Sounds good.

好滴

Client
