Ma Yuan said with a wry smile, "Manager Xu, you aren't from my hometown. You wouldn't understand what One Finger Monastery means to us. Anyway, I must apply for leave today. Please approve it. "
"Cut it out. I can't possibly approve it for you. Otherwise, if everyone applies for leave, how can the company continue operating?" Manager Xu shook her head and rejected him seriously.
Ma Yuan nodded when he heard that. "Alright then, I'll resign!"
"What!?" Manager Xu subconsciously exclaimed as she looked at Ma Yuan in disbelief. "Ma Yuan, you just graduated from university, right? Do you know what it means for you to be able to enter a foreign company like ours? It represents a limitless future! I saw you grow up with my own eyes. Although you have only been in the company for a year, you have already become the company's rookie king. You are one of the employees with the most potential I have ever seen. I have great hopes for you, but you are giving it up for a bowl of congee? "
Manager Xu was truly infuriated.
Ma Yuan said gratefully, "Manager, I know what you are saying. However, this isn't a matter of a bowl of Laba Congee. One Finger Monastery is different from other monasteries. Abbot Fangzheng doesn't hold a Dharma Assembly even once a year. This Laba Festival Dharma Assembly is his only one. My child obtained it from One Finger Monastery. Furthermore … Furthermore, that Laba Congee is truly extraordinary. The taste exceeds all the delicacies in the world. More importantly, it can be used to treat illnesses. "
Manager Xu nodded slightly when she heard the first half, but when she heard the second half, she rolled her eyes. "You child, everything is good. But why are you so obsessed with superstition? A bowl of congee can treat illnesses? Heavens, why don't you say that you can become immortal after drinking it? "
Ma Yuan looked at Manager Xu with a look of exasperation. "I know you won't believe what I say. But Manager Xu, Sis Xu, you know me. I never lie. I'm speaking the truth! I experienced it myself! Furthermore, everyone in the village knows about it! "
Manager Xu frowned as she stared intently into Ma Yuan's eyes. Both of them stared at each other.
Ma Yuan was filled with confidence, so he naturally didn't back down. After a while, Manager Xu nodded slightly. "Alright, alright."
Manager Xu took Ma Yuan's resignation application and put it away. Ma Yuan's heart ached when he saw this scene. Just as Manager Xu had said, this job was too important to him! However, when he thought of the situation at home, he took a deep breath and suppressed the last thought of giving up in his heart. He nodded slightly to Manager Xu and said, "Sister Xu, thank you for taking care of me during this time. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness."
With that, Ma Yuan prepared to leave.
At that moment, Manager Xu said indifferently, "Who said you could leave?"
Ma Yuan was stunned. "Sister Xu?"
Manager Xu said, "After what you said, I'm also beginning to be curious about that monastery. I'll go with you. If that monastery is really as magical as you say, and if the Laba Congee is really that powerful, I'll return your resignation letter to you. If he isn't as miraculous as you say, just take it as me sending you off one last time. "
When Ma Yuan heard this, he suddenly laughed. He laughed extremely happily! Ignoring everything else, he was extremely confident in One Finger Monastery's Laba Congee!
Hence, the two of them left together. Sis Xu drove Ma Yuan straight to One Finger Monastery.
At the same time, Salted Fish walked down the mountain with a disdainful look while holding a signboard. As he walked, he mumbled. "This fellow really thinks he's something. Who would come up the mountain early for a bowl of congee on such a darn cold day?"
As he spoke, Salted Fish suddenly heard voices at the foot of the mountain. There was also the sound of people stepping on the snow, producing crunching sounds.
Salted Fish's heart tightened when he heard that, thinking, "Holy sh * t, someone really came! Then where should I place my signboard? Down the mountain? But what about these people? Put it on the mountaintop? That doesn't meet the darn baldy's requirements! "
Just as Salted Fish was feeling conflicted, the voices came closer. They were another turn away! Why did this scene look so familiar to Salted Fish?
Without any thought, Salted Fish rolled his eyes and plopped to the ground, motionless. The moment he did so, he regretted not setting up his signboard properly.
Especially when Salted Fish saw a group of people around the corner, he felt even more regretful. He thought, "I'm doomed. The darn baldy was right. There are actually so many people! If I can't stop these people, I'll probably have my rations deducted for the next few days! "
As Salted Fish's thoughts ran wild, the group of people had already walked over.
"Eh? Why is there a salted fish on the ground? "someone asked.
"There's nothing strange about it. I heard that Abbot Fangzheng brought a salted fish up the mountain not long ago. It's not to eat it, but to help Salted Fish transcend or redeem him. Anyway, it's a way to study the Buddhist Dharma. Besides, for some reason, Abbot Fangzheng keeps throwing Salted Fish here and there. Who knows, we might be able to see this salted fish somewhere. I have no idea what Buddhist Dharma he's cultivating in either … "The person who spoke was Chen Jin. Beside him were his family members, as well as friends and relatives that had come from afar.
"Pfft, this Abbot Fangzheng sure is interesting. Redeeming a salted fish? Do you think he can redeem a salted fish? "a relative of Chen Jin said with a laugh.
"Shut up! You can joke about anything else, but not Abbot Fangzheng! I'm telling you, if you are beaten up because of that stupid mouth of yours, don't blame me for cheering you on the side! "Chen Jin glared at his relative.
The other party curled his lips and thought otherwise. "Is there a need to go that far? Isn't he just a monk? Back at Mt. Jiuhua, I saw quite a number of monks, but I didn't see them being that impressive. Speaking of which, Uncle, you weren't such a Buddhist in the past, right? "
"Chen Qiang, I don't care what kind of monk you met on Mt. Jiuhua. Now that you are here, watch your mouth. If not, scram down the mountain immediately!" Chen Jin said with a frown.
Chen Qiang said unhappily, "Uncle, that's no fun. You were the one who called us here, and now you want me to leave. Auntie, aren't you going to do something? "
Chen Jin's wife patted Chen Jin and said, "Qiang, you don't know anything. Can't you speak properly?"
Chen Jin said, "What needs to be said has been said. Let's hurry up the mountain. I believe the others will be coming up soon. When the time comes, there won't be a good spot and you won't be able to drink the Laba Congee. Don't blame me for not warning you. "
When Chen Jin's wife heard that, she hurriedly urged everyone to hurry up the mountain.
However, Chen Qiang said disapprovingly, "Isn't it just a bowl of Laba Congee? I drink it year after year, and I'm already sick of it. However, the scenery on this mountain is still alright. "
As he grumbled, the others ignored him. Instead, they followed Chen Jin up the mountain.
