"In my view, it is your employer who should be fined, isn't it?" Shen Yiru said, completely unruffled.
Manager Wu’s eyes widened, his neck stiffening as he retorted, "The one who breached the contract unilaterally is that fellow surnamed Feng. On what grounds would we be fined?"
"On what grounds? As the manager of Tongde Medical Hall, are you truly so ignorant of the laws of our Great Chu State?" Shen Yiru looked down at Manager Wu with a grave expression. "According to our laws, it is illegal for an employer to maliciously deceive an employee into signing an inequitable contract. Depending on the severity, the offending party is subject to a corresponding fine. Your own contract states in black and white that the penalty for breach is one thousand taels of gold. I suspect that if this were taken before the authorities, Tongde Medical Hall would be looking at a fine of at least three thousand taels."
