Chapter 53: Is Li Yi being expelled?
On the other side, the female police officer's room check immediately caused quite a commotion.
Immediately afterwards, figures rushed out of the private room.
"Boss Wang, what's going on at your shop? Why did the police suddenly come to check?"
"Yeah, it's just a project I'm working on. People who don't know any better would think I'm involved in prostitution."
The customers who had just come out immediately started complaining when they saw Wang Tao in the lobby.
"Sister Liu, the police officers are just conducting a routine check."
"Sister Zhang, how many years have I been running this shop? Don't you know?"
"Don't worry, everyone. It's nothing serious, just a misunderstanding."
Wang Tao went over to each of them and offered a few words of comfort, finally calming them down.
However, Liu Xiaoting suddenly pointed at Li Yi and shouted, "What a load of rubbish! Everyone saw clearly that Wang Tao hired a man to be her technician in order to make money."
"Think about it, what else could it be about hiring a man at a beauty salon?"
Upon hearing this, the female customers who had just been kicked out immediately turned to look at Li Yi.
After discovering that he was tall, young, and handsome, many older women were immediately impressed.
Perhaps if they were in a different place, they might have other ideas.
But with so many people around, and two police officers present, everyone had to put aside their chaotic thoughts and, following Liu Xiaoting's words, began to criticize Wang Tao.
"Oh, Peach, is he the TCM technician you mentioned last time?"
"I'm just here for a beauty treatment, I don't need any traditional Chinese massage."
"Exactly, what's the point of having a man in the shop?"
Hearing the accusations from the crowd, Liu Xiaoting felt a surge of pride.
Wang Tao was both angry and anxious. "Listen to me, everyone. I did invite Xiao Li, but he is a genuine traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and his medical skills are very high."
Besides, all the services in the store are clearly priced, and I have never forced anyone to do any particular service.
Upon hearing this, a slightly overweight middle-aged woman immediately became displeased.
"Hmph! Boss Wang, you make it sound so easy, but other people don't know what services I offer, they only know that you have a male technician in your shop."
"Exactly. If word gets out, people will think I come here often because I'm after the male masseuses."
"That's right! Peach, you have to fire this kid today, or I'll never come here again."
Fire Li Yi? How is that possible!
Hearing these long-time customers' words, Wang Tao gritted her teeth and said, "I will absolutely not fire Xiao Li! If any of you feel it's not appropriate, you can contact me anytime, and I will refund all the money in her card."
"Wang Tao, you said it yourself! I want a refund right now!"
"That's right! I want to cancel my card too."
"I'm canceling my card too!"
Li Yi never expected that his momentary recklessness would cause such a commotion.
Seeing these long-time customers clamoring for refunds, he gave a wry smile and walked over to Wang Tao.
"Sister Wang, I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to escalate like this. Since everyone thinks it's inappropriate for me to stay in the store, I'd better leave."
"Leave? Where are you going?" Wang Tao suddenly erupted in fury like a tigress. "I'm telling you, you're not going anywhere!"
After she finished speaking, she turned to Wu Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, go now and give a refund to anyone who wants one."
We were working on a project when the police suddenly barged in, so we were a bit annoyed.
However, Yan Zhi You Li Beauty Salon not only offers good service, but also has reasonable prices.
These older women are used to spending money here and have always been very satisfied.
What I said about refunding the card before was just something I said in anger.
But now, Wang Tao has actually shut down the conversation to protect a male technician.
Immediately, some people became dissatisfied.
"Hmph! Fine, I'll give up then. I don't believe I can't afford a beauty treatment when I have money."
The overweight middle-aged woman had the worst temper. Upon hearing this, she immediately walked towards the counter, seemingly genuinely intending to return her card.
Seeing this, Wang Tao still refused to back down, saying, "Xiao Mei, give Ms. Liu her money back!"
"I came here to spend money, not to be mistreated. I want a refund!"
After someone took the lead, other customers followed suit and went to the counter.
One, two, three...
More and more long-time customers are going to cancel their cards.
Wang Tao's face was grim, showing no intention of stopping them. Instead, she turned to the two police officers and asked, "Officers, have you investigated thoroughly?"
Upon hearing this, the male police officer looked at the female police officer who had just come out.
The other person shook their head. "I've checked everything inside, there's nothing unusual."
The male police officer nodded. "Alright, we've pretty much figured things out. Although your shop hired a male technician, it's a legitimate business and there's nothing illegal about it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xiaoting couldn't help but speak again:
"Wait! Officer, how can a beauty salon where this woman works suddenly have a male technician? You should investigate this more thoroughly."
Seeing that she was still relentless, Wang Tao's face darkened, and she became less polite, "Liu Xiaoting, if you think there's a problem with my shop, you can go and get a refund now."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely return the card. But this isn't over yet."
Although many people have already cancelled their cards, Liu Xiaoting still feels unsatisfied.
She pointed at Li Yi, "This kid not only spied on me before, but also slandered me and ruined my reputation. This matter can't be left like this."
What peeping? It's clearly a misunderstanding.
Wang Tao realized at that moment that Liu Xiaoting was preparing to make an exorbitant demand and extort a large sum of money from her.
However, in order to help Li Yi resolve this trouble, I have no choice but to accept this debt today.
Just as she was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"etc!"
Li Yi did not deny accidentally bumping into someone, but he absolutely refused to acknowledge the defamation.
"Ms. Liu, I'm 100% sure that those little bumps on your lips are definitely not mouth ulcers. If you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital for a checkup right now."
What little bumps? How did it come to be related to mouth ulcers?
Wang Tao was unaware of what had happened before, so she was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Yi's words.
The two police officers were also slightly taken aback and subconsciously glanced at Liu Xiaoting.
Although they are not doctors, they often deal with anti-prostitution work and have heard of some of the terms.
Therefore, the two of them had a vague idea of what was going on.
Liu Xiaoting never expected that Li Yi would bring this up in public.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she suddenly raised her voice, becoming like a madwoman.
"Kid, what nonsense are you talking about? I clearly have a mouth ulcer, not some kind of disease."
As a result, her shout immediately alerted even more people.
The long-time customers who were processing their card refunds at the counter immediately became agitated.
"What kind of disease?"
"Who has this filthy disease?"
The group of people forgot about getting their cards refunded and rushed over to watch.
