<strong>Chapter 305: Chapter 305: No One shes with Money</strong>


    Huimin Public Bathhouse.


    At the moment Mo Yan was taken away by the police from the police station, although the management and other staff of the bathhouse were not as usatory as the customers who gathered to watch the excitement, they more or less harbored prejudices against Mo Yan.


    Unexpectedly, the whole affair turned out to be a misunderstanding.


    For a time, the customers who had juste out of their baths and enjoyed the spectacle, along with the management and employees of the public bathhouse, all felt embarrassed.


    “I did say it, look at that young man’s eyes. They’re clear and prating, plus he looks spirited with an air of integrity in his brow. How could he possibly engage in stealing customer’s belongings like that?”


    “This makes sense. I felt it at the time; that young man was being wronged.”


    “It turns out we all thought alike and didn’t consider the young man a thief.”


    “It’s good that things got cleared up and the young man’s innocence was restored.”


    …


    “Xiao Mo, it’s good you’re fine. You were scared today, so just go home early to rest and return to work normally tomorrow.”


    The person who spoke was a leader at the Huimin Public Bathhouse. Upon hearing this, Mo Yan, without a moment’s hesitation, said, “I’m sorry, Director Pang, I’ve decided to resign.”


    “This…”


    Pang Mingfa, referred to as Director Pang by Mo Yan, was a short, thin middle-aged man. He tugged at the corner of his mouth and tried to persuade kindly, “Xiao Mo, you know how hard it is to find jobs these days. Uncle sees you’re a down to earth person, so I’ll be blunt. Don’t talk rashly about resigning.”


    Patting Mo Yan on the shoulder, Director Pang said, “Alright, go home and think it over. Give uncle your answer tomorrow.”


    Mo Yan’s lips were tightly pursed, he stayed silent for a long while and finally said nothing more.


    Watching his retreating figure, several employees standing behind Director Pang, as well as some customers who were a bit further away, started to whispered about Mo Yan.


    “Xiao Mo isn’t upset with us, is he?”


    “Why would he be?”


    “Yes, why should Xiao Mo be mad at us?”


    “It’s clear, isn’t it? When he was taken away by the police, none of us stepped forward to speak on his behalf.”


    “… Surely not! Can you me us? Given the situation then… We weren’t aware of the truth. If we had spoken out rashly, that would be falsifying testimony. We might have ended up taken away by the police too. That would have been too embarrassing!”


    This was the voice of a female employee responsible for trimming customer’s nails.


    “Alright, no more gossip. Go busy yourselves with your own tasks. Anyone who talks more will have half of this month’s bonus deducted.”


    The bonus was just two yuan, but for the ordinary employees working at the Huimin Public Bathhouse, being able to earn an extra two yuan on top of their basic pay was a joyful matter.


    After all, the value of those two yuan was not low.


    For instance, it could buy almost three kilos of pork.


    Or in winter, it could buy at least two hundred kilos of cabbage. This isn’t nonsense. Based on current prices, winter storage cabbage costs between .05 to .1 yuan per kilo.


    So, buying two hundred kilos of cabbage with two yuan was not talking through one’s hat.


    Of course, with the purchasing power of two yuan, you could simrly buy many other things.


    Thus, as soon as Director Pang’s words fell, the few employees standing behind him scattered like birds and beasts.


    Everyone has their own measure in mind; no one is foolish enough to fight over money!


    Hearing the footsteps behind him gradually fade away, Director Pang sighed inwardly. Actually, even back when the police hade to take someone away,
