Chapter 306: Chapter 306 Consolation
He didn’t speak up for Mo Yan, not because he didn’t want to, but because his mind was in the sa place as everyone else’s—the fear of bringing trouble upon himself.
But clearly, the young man wanted to resign, and these people had at least sothing to do with it. But had the foolish boy ever considered that this is just how society is, everyone keeping themselves safe—what was wrong with that?
It was certainly better than being stabbed in the back by soone close to you when sothing goes wrong, wasn’t it?!
“Everything has been resolved, and with Officer Wang stepping in, no one will suspect you of anything anymore.” Seeing Mo Yan co out of the Huimin Public Bathhouse, Kang Li revealed a slight smile. When he stopped a few steps away from her, she spoke gently and deliberately.
However, Mo Yan didn’t respond and his spirits were not high.
Kang Li: “But your mood is still very low. Tell , what’s on your mind?”
His lips moved slightly, and Mo Yan said, “Sister Kang Li, I… I don’t want to work at the Huimin Bathhouse anymore.”
Kang Li: “Why is that?”
Mo Yan: “I don’t want to lie to you. I… feel disheartened. When that custor falsely accused , none of them… none of them stood up to speak for . Sister Kang Li, I’ve been working with them for nearly half a month, seeing they are older than , I respected them all, but they…”
Wang Xiaobo hadn’t left yet; he and Feng Yi were standing together. Hearing what Mo Yan said to Kang Li, he ca over: “Young man, you just haven’t seen much of the world yet! You have to think like this: if you spend your whole life worrying about others’ looks and talk, wouldn’t that be a tasteless and exceedingly tiring way to live? We should live a life we’re proud of, without guilt towards the heavens, the earth, other people, or our own conscience!”
“…How many people can truly ignore the odd looks and various criticisms from others?” Mo Yan’s mood was still downcast, but looking at him, Kang Li said, “I have always believed that if you are upright, you need not worry about your shadow. How others see , how they talk about , I don’t care because I know I live with a clear conscience—I haven’t wronged anyone, and that’s enough.”
Mo Yan: “Sister Kang Li…” A hint of hesitation flickered in his eyes.
Seeing the change in the young man’s expression, Kang Li smiled and said, “However, if you really aren’t happy with that job, then it’s fine not to continue. After all, there isn’t just one job opportunity out there, and who knows, maybe without this job you might find a better one in the future.”
Feng Yi: “Brother Yan, whatever decision you make, I support you!”
Wang Xiaobo: “Little brother, your sister is right, work is not just about making a living, you also have to enjoy it. That way, we can have more motivation while working. So, why don’t you listen to your sister? There’s no need to hesitate.”
I wonder if the little brother’s sister has a partner—if not, could he perhaps have a chance to pursue her?
“Wait for a mont.”
Saying this, Mo Yan turned around and went back into the Huimin Public Bathhouse.
About four or five minutes later, Mo Yan ca out: “I’ve resigned from my job. I heard this morning that there’s a temporary job available at the coal yard, so I’m going to check it out.”
Director Pang tried repeatedly to retain him, but to no avail—Mo Yan had made up his mind. In the end, Director Pang paid Mo Yan for the half month he’d worked.
Feng Yi: “Brother Yan, are you talking about that coal delivery job?”
Mo Yan: “Yes. I have plenty of strength, and if I really get hired by the coal yard, I think I can do the coal delivery job well.”
Spending days in the bathhouse, surrounded by nothing but a sea of flesh, honestly,
