Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Yao was worried and could not stop thinking about it. No matter how she tried, she simply could not figure it out.

She looked at the screen and composed a reply before Shangguan Yun had the chance: [Don't let him come out.]

Y: [It's too late. He left three days ago.]

Huo Yao raised her hand and rubbed her brow as she said: [Got it. Remember to contact him and tell him to go back.]

Y: [Okay.]

Huo Yao exchanged a few more words with Shanggyuan Yun before ending the conversation. She looked up outside the window and frowned involuntarily.

Perhaps this medicine in her possession was making her uneasy.

It had been a long time since she last felt so uneasy.

She certainly hoped she was mistaken.

Meanwhile, inside the president's office at the Apothecaries' Association.

Chairman Wang looked at Deputy Chairman Qin expressionlessly. "Why didn't you ask me before making a promise to the customer?"

Deputy Chairman Qin had just returned from the Chinese herb farm yesterday. He was not upset when Chairman Wang questioned him angrily.

Instead, he put on his usual fake smile. "Was it of any use to ask you? We are unable to supply the Chinese herbs to the client. Are you able to handle the problem? Since you can't do it, why can't I give them the herb?"

Chairman Wang looked very annoyed. "Let's not forget I'm the chairman of the association. You do not have the authority to make these decisions."

"You're right. You're the chairman. Have you contributed to the association in any way all these years? The association's status in the capital is no longer what it used to be. Don't you know why?" said Deputy Chairman Qin mockingly.

He paused before looking at Chairman Wang and said, "If you aren't doing any good for the association, why should you continue being the leader?"

Chairman Wang narrowed his eyes. Ever since the Chinese herbs were lost in the fire, Deputy Chairman Qin had made his intentions very clear.

He harbored the same ambitions in the past, but he did not show it so blatantly. These days, he simply brought it up openly. Chairman Wang said, "Why? Do you want to take over my position?"

Deputy Chairman Qin scoffed and said, "That was not what I meant. I think we should stop wasting time. Since you are unwilling to call the Chinese herb farmer, I can only do it on your behalf. I won't stop you if you want to be a gentleman, but we also have to worry about the association's reputation."

Deputy Chairman Qin took out his phone and scrolled down to Mi Wei's number and pressed dial in front of Chairman Wang.

Chairman Wang finally lost his cool.

A few days ago, Mi Wei had already told him about the herb. It was impossible to cultivate the herb in bulk. He had also confirmed that he was not going to give up his herb.

Deputy Chairman Qin had taken Mi Wei's Chinese herb while he was gone and even wanted to force Mi Wei to produce it in bulk.[a]
