Chapter 633 Gray Activities
There are two flowers blooming, one on each side.

Cui Yuan planned to look for any large items that could be repaired at the repair shop.

From a distance, I could see that the repair shop was surrounded by people watching the fun.

Immediately, Cui Yuan went forward curiously to see what was going on.

"Well done, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You told me that something was broken and no one could fix it, and then you fixed it."

"What do you mean? Are you kidding me? Aaaah!"

"If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Don't do it."

"Let go, let go!"

But all I saw was a guy with a face full of flesh holding a man's collar with one hand, with a vicious look on his face.

The person being carried was lifted up, his face flushed.

Liao Wanxiang, the owner of the repair shop next to them, was trying his best to persuade the two men to stop.

"This master is so dishonest that he actually did something like this."

"I misjudged him. I've troubled him to fix things before, but I didn't expect he would be such a person."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I won't repair anything here anymore. How dare they hire someone like this."

"Let's wait and see. Maybe this person is the problem. The boss is still pretty good."

People were talking in groups of three or four.

Cui Yuan looked at the excitement and was confused for a moment, so he immediately asked what was going on.

Someone kindly explained the reason.

It turned out that the man with the fat face was the employer, who had sent the pendulum clock to the repair shop for repair a few days ago.

The master who was being carried was Ba Hao, who was the one who took over the contract. The pendulum clock was sent to him for repair. After a few days, he told the employer that it could not be repaired.

He also said: "This pendant has been used for too long and is too badly damaged to be repaired. Many of its parts are missing."

"Of course if you want to fix it, you can, but it's not cheap. Also, even if it's fixed, it'll break down every few days."

Ba Hao's words made the employer sell the pendulum clock to the repair station on the spot.

Hearing this, Cui Yuan nodded. Ba Hao was quite good and could consider his employer. He and Ba Hao had similar ideas.

For things that have been repaired every few days, I feel there is no need to repair them. I either sell them or take them home as decorations.

"and then?"

"Then, the employer came to the repair shop and took a look. Guess what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"Hey, this master is really a nobody. Did you see that pendulum clock?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the pendulum clock.

It was swaying and showed no signs of breaking down.

The passerby described it vividly: "The pendulum clock was repaired by him, don't you think this master is a liar? Didn't he say he couldn't fix it? How can he be qualified to fix it now?"

"The key point is nothing. It's this master who intends to take the pendulum clock away. Who wouldn't be angry? If it were me, I would have taken action long ago!"

"Ah? It can be like this." Cui Yuan was shocked for a moment. He didn't expect it to be like this.

You say the thing is broken, and then it’s fixed and you can take it away?
This kind of thing had a huge impact on Cui Yuan's worldview. He had never encountered anything like this since he started doing maintenance.

It can actually be operated like this?

After hearing the whole story, Cui Yuan looked at the three people in the store.

The employer with a face full of flesh shouted, "Why don't you talk nicely? You dare to do it but you don't dare to admit it, right? And you, are you conspiring with him to deceive me?"

As he said that, the employer grabbed his boss Liao Wanxiang and lifted him into the air.

"Woo~"

"My dear, are you so strong?"

"If this is used for work, it can definitely cover more land than a cow."

"Why pull it? Just go to the pigpen."

The onlookers were all shocked by the employer's efforts.

"Comrade, please talk it over nicely. It's not worth losing someone's life over a trivial matter." A passerby kindly reminded.

The employer thought for a moment and immediately let go of his hand.

"Ouch~" The two of them covered their buttocks.

"Damn it, you dare to steal my things, you are so good, so powerful, but you dare to cheat me, I think you are itching for trouble."

Ba Hao saw his employer loosening his grip, and his face turned pale with fear. He quickly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Friend, let's talk it over. This pendulum clock was not repaired by me, but by another master."

"The master fixed it before I bought it. You are mistaken."

"Did I see wrongly? Bah! Didn't you say that other craftsmen couldn't fix it, so I sold it? Now the pendulum clock has been repaired. Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? So easy to fool."

Ba Hao said stubbornly: "My friend, I really didn't think that other masters could fix it. I bought it just because I saw that the pendulum clock had been repaired. I was short-sighted at the time and I really didn't think that there was a master who could fix it."

The employer snorted coldly: "Are you still lying to me? Which craftsman did it? Tell me!"

Ba Hao stammered and couldn't say a name. He didn't expect that he would have such a disaster. He was so unlucky today. He didn't check the almanac before going out and encountered such a thing.

He looked at Liao Wanxiang beside him for help.

It’s a pity that Liao Wanxiang is so angry now. He looks at him angrily, and his eyes seem to say, look at what you have done. You should be more careful when doing this.

Now that you know you were wrong, you can find a way to explain it yourself.

The employer was furious when he saw that Ba Hao didn't say anything and was flirting with the boss.

"You are still teasing me, you really think I have no temper, don't you?"

"Snap!!!" A crisp sound.

"Huh~" everyone exclaimed.

Ba Hao covered the left side of his face and looked at his employer in shock.

"This slap is all red."

"What a cruel attack."

"Is this master confused?"

The employer said viciously, "You dare to play tricks on me, this is what happens, you bastard, no one has ever dared to lie to me in my life, you bastard deserve a beating."

After saying that, he kicked Ba Hao several times.

"Hey, stop kicking, someone is going to die." The boss Liao Wanxiang immediately stepped forward to stop him. He couldn't let anyone get killed here.

His entire family depends on this store for their livelihood, so nothing can go wrong.

"And you, did you team up with him to cheat me? I'm going to kick you to death." The employer even kicked Liao Wanxiang.

Frightened, Liao Wanxiang quickly explained: "My friend, this has nothing to do with me. I really don't know what happened between you two. I am innocent."

"Think about it carefully. You just said you wanted to sell the pendulum clock to me and I would buy it if you sold it to me. I really didn't know anything about you two."

Hearing this, the employer's feet stopped in mid-air, as if it was indeed the case at that time.

I brought a broken pendulum clock here to sell, and Liao Wanxiang bought it at the scrap price, as if he really had no idea what was going on.

"Huh~" Seeing this, Liao Wanxiang was so scared that he immediately ran away from this dangerous place. He was scared to death.

When everyone saw this, they realized that Liao Wanxiang was innocent.

"Fortunately, the boss didn't know about this, otherwise he would have beaten me even if I was disabled."

"It seems that the boss was not good at judging people. He didn't see what kind of person the master is. I can still get things repaired in his shop in the future."

"Boss, you have to be more careful in the future."

Everyone talked at once and said that they liked Liao Wanxiang more and didn't want to change shops to repair it.

But in fact, Liao Wanxiang is not as innocent as everyone thinks.

Repair shops also have shady dealings, just like Bahao's.

He took a fancy to something of his employer, but didn't want to return it and deliberately said that he couldn't fix it and no one else could fix it.

The item was broken to begin with, and after hearing what the master said, the employer didn't doubt it and sold it to the repair shop.

Repair shops collect them as scrap and then sell them to repairmen, making a few bucks off each transaction. They can also make another profit from the spare parts needed to repair the items.

Everything is implied. No one says anything, but a glance is enough to understand.

The repair shop naturally would not make this public.

"Hey, speak! Are you mute? Aren't you very talkative? Keep talking!" the employer shouted repeatedly.

It was a good thing, but it was exposed by the employer, which was embarrassing. "This is it" Ba Hao stammered and couldn't say it.

There must be someone's name in my mind, but if I say it carelessly, I might hurt that person, and he or she will definitely retaliate, which will be even more miserable.

"Humph, I finally see through you. You're planning on using my pendulum clock."

"Luckily I came over to take a look today, otherwise I would have been fooled by you. You are so ambitious, I think you don't want to live anymore."

After saying this, the employer immediately continued beating him.

Seeing that something was wrong, Ba Hao quickly ran away.

"You still dare to run?" the employer shouted, guarding the store door and chasing after Ba Hao.

Unable to go out, Ba Hao could only move around in the store.

"Hey, stop it. Don't touch my things, Bahao."

Suddenly, many things in the store were pushed away by Ba Hao to stop his employer.

"Just like that, push and push!"

"Be careful, don't get caught!"

"Oh, it was almost there."

The people outside the door became more and more excited as they watched, and some even put themselves in the two people's perspective.

"Stop it, stop it!"

Seeing the repair shop in a mess, Liao Wanxiang had to step forward and stand in front of his employer.

"Step aside!"

"No! If you want to fight, go outside and fight! Don't mess up the things in my store!" Liao Wanxiang said.

The employer looked at the "innocent" Liao Wanxiang and felt it was difficult to hit him.

"Just wait for me, kid. I'm going to call the police to arrest you!" The employer pointed at Ba Hao angrily.

"Boss, save me!" Ba Hao asked for help.

"Save you? Look at what you have done! How can I save you?" Liao Wanxiang retorted. He is now in a difficult situation and can hardly save himself, so how can he have time to save others?

It would be fine if the employer didn’t know about it now, but if he knew, he would beat him too. Look at his physique and his fat face, who can beat him?

"Pay compensation and apologize immediately."

Unexpectedly, the employer waved his hand and said, "I don't want money, and I don't want an apology. I will call the police to arrest you!"

"Don't even think about running away! I'm going to make sure you go to jail. Anyone who dares to go after me has never had an easy life!"

After saying that, he called on passers-by to help call the police.

"I'll go." A kind-hearted person immediately went to call the police. The excitement could not stop.

While his employer turned his head, Ba Hao looked at Liao Wanxiang eagerly.

"Old Liao, you have to help me. If you don't help me, no one else can. Listen to what others say."

"Help? How can I help? What can I do to help? Look at what you have done to my store. I'm already doing a good job by not asking you for compensation."

"You won't help me? Believe it or not, I will not let you off easily and will expose what's going on in your store!" Ba Hao's eyes narrowed and he threatened.

"Are you threatening me? Am I afraid of you? If you dare to tell me, believe it or not, I will report you to your factory as soon as I get out and make you lose your job!"

"I'm the one guarding the store, what am I afraid of? If you dare to tell on me, believe it or not, you'll never survive in this city again! Besides, I don't know anything about your business!"

Liao Wanxiang was fearless, but Ba Hao was indeed worried. If he reported the case, he would offend all the masters and there was a high possibility that he would lose his job.

Being unemployed now is the most unfortunate thing, and the key is that it is almost the New Year.

Ba Hao's expression kept changing.

Liao Wanxiang didn't want to throw the jar into the air: "The police will come soon. If you are sincere, at most you will pay money and go to jail for a few days, and the matter will be over. Think about it carefully."

The two had a quick conversation and the police arrived soon after.

"The police are coming. The police are coming."

"Who called the police?"

"Comrade police, it's me, it's me!" The rough employer with a ferocious face quickly raised his hand to signal.

"Hmm!" When the police saw his fierce look, he was so scared that he wanted to take out his baton.

"Comrade police, I am a good citizen, I am a good citizen." The rough employer said hurriedly.

Look at this wise look, it is obvious that it is not the first or second time.

The policeman looked at the onlookers, and everyone spoke up for him. Seeing this, he put down his baton.

"What's going on?"

"Comrade police officer, this is what happened. He..." the employer told him everything.

Looking at the slap marks on Bahao's face and the footprints on his body, the police glanced at his rough employer.

Seeing that Bahao was still alive, he didn't care about beating him. He deserved the beating.

"Okay, we got it." The police nodded and went to find Ba Hao immediately.

Before the police could ask him any more questions, Ba Hao hurriedly said, "Comrade police, I confess. I confess everything!"

"I cheated him. It was my fault. I can pay him any amount of money or go to jail. I'm willing to do whatever it takes."

The two policemen were very surprised. They didn't expect them to be so cooperative. However, according to convention, they still sorted things out first to avoid making any mistakes.

"Yes, it was all my fault. I was obsessed with his clock. I said that on purpose. I can fix it."

The confessions were compared one by one.

"Okay, how do you want to solve this problem?" Seeing that Ba Hao was so easy to talk to, the policeman's attitude naturally improved a lot.

The employer was furious: "I don't want money, I just want to go to jail!"

"He will definitely go to jail, but he won't be there for many days. Ba Hao's confession is good, and the amount of money involved is not large, so he will only be in jail for three to five days, or no more than seven days."

There is a food shortage now, so police stations and prisons will not impose severe punishments for minor offenses.

"Do you still want him to go to jail now?"

Hearing this, the employer hesitated. He thought he could work for three to five months, or at least one month.

The policeman continued, "You've already beaten someone up, and you've almost let out your anger. Why don't you just ask for money? You can also get your pendulum clock back at the same time."

"Of course, it's up to you to decide how to choose."

The employer hesitated for a long time, but finally made up his mind: "You are lucky, if you dare to cheat me again, I will beat you to death!"

"It seems you have made your decision. Let's find a place to talk about compensation."

"Hmph!" The employer snorted coldly and followed the police holding his pendulum clock.

Ba Hao watched the pendulum clock being taken away and now he had to pay for it. He cried bitterly in his heart. It really was true that misfortunes never come alone.

"Hey, let's go, let's go."

Once people leave, there is nothing exciting to watch and everyone goes back home.

Cui Yuan remembered that he had something else to do, so he went to find Liao Wanxiang.

"Oh~" Liao Wanxiang looked at the messy repair shop. Fortunately, there were not many good things here, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss.

"Boss Liao."

"Master Cui." Liao Wanxiang showed a bitter face.

"Boss Liao, think about opening a new one. At least the store wasn't destroyed in vain."

Hearing this, Liao Wanxiang's bitter face became even more bitter.

"Uh" Cui Yuan knew that his comfort was indeed wrong.

"Master Cui, let's talk about it tomorrow. You've seen what I have here, and I really don't have time to entertain you."

Liao Wanxiang was not in the mood to ask questions, he just wanted to get things done quickly.

"Okay, go do your thing."

Cui Yuan had no choice but to return home.

With the help of the police, Ba Hao finally negotiated compensation with his employer.

Ba Hao paid the money miserably, and when he returned to the repair shop, Liao Wanxiang fired him directly and refused to do business with him again.

Ba Hao's miserable face became even more miserable. After such an incident, he didn't know whether he could register in another repair shop.

Liao Wanxiang was somewhat happy.
