你们不该这么说老张,不过,老张也是,提前打个招呼不就没这事了吗

 

What does the 不就没这事了吗 part mean, please?

Consider - If Zhang had mentioned it, this (bad) incident would not have happened.

I think (but might be wrong) that the 不...吗?is a rhetorical question, indicating that the speaker believes that what comes in between 不 and 吗 is true. Thus 不就没这事了吗?means 就没这事了, that is, "then this would not have happened".
