Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Yao went upstairs with her stuff and opened her brother’s room next door.

Huo Yao turned on the light switch on the wall. A room containing a single bed and a table came to sight. It had a modern and minimalistic interior design and was done up in a cool color scheme. Two certificates of honor hung from the wall.

Huo Yao put her things down on the table. She walked over to the wall with the certificates of honor. A look of surprise emerged on her face when she saw what awards they were.

One of them was a Knowles medical biology award given out by the most recognized medical institution in Country M. This appraisal took place once every three years, and all its candidates were medical geniuses.

The other one was a Lasker medical award. Similar to the previous one, it was a highly renowned recognition in the medical field.

Both awards were given to people who contributed greatly to medicine.

Huo Yao did not expect her third older brother, whom she had yet to lay eyes on, was a medical genius. Also, she noticed that these were awarded five years ago.

Wasn’t her third older brother barely 20 years old at that time?

Huo Yao crossed her arms. She felt extremely curious about her third older brother, Huo Yulin. It was a pity he was abroad, or else they could have had a good chat.

She was rather interested in western medicine.

Huo Yao veered her eyes away from the awards and turned to shut the curtains. She turned on the air conditioner and adjusted it to the required temperature. Then she started to fiddle with the pile of Chinese medicine on the table.

Incense sticks were easy to make in general. The tough part was adding Chinese medicine to the sandalwood in powder form as she had to determine its quantity and ratio accurately.

Although Huo Yao was not a professional incense maker, she was highly gifted at incense and medicine making.

She was able to incorporate strong medicine without causing the slightest side effects. Her Chinese medicine knowledge and accuracy were incredible.

So it was child’s play for her to make nerve-soothing incense.

Two hours later, Huo Yao finally put down her tools. Her eyes landed on the incense sticks lying on the chopping board, which she had created using molds. She exhaled deeply and stretched her limbs.

After the incense sticks dried out completely in two hours, she would be done.

Huo Yao rotated her tired neck. There was still some incense mud on her fingers, so she went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Huo Yao stayed in the room for about 30 minutes more and left after she was certain that everything was in order.

The moment she opened the door, she spotted Huo Tingrui standing at the staircase. He seemed to be staggering.

Huo Yao hurried over when she saw him. The intense smell of alcohol wafted into her nose. She frowned and quickly supported him.

Although Huo Tingrui was drunk, he was still conscious. He beamed brightly the moment he spotted Huo Yao and asked her. “Baby Girl, are you waiting up for me?”

Huo Yao hastily let go of him when she heard, ‘Baby Girl’. Huo Tingrui was caught by surprise, and his shoulder bumped into the wall.

Huo Tingrui winced in pain. In order to avoid falling, he instinctively held onto the wall. He turned around to look at Huo Yao with his crooked glasses, which seemed as if they were about to slide off his face. Then he said, “Yao…”

Huo Yao put his spectacles back on him properly and said in a calm voice, “Sorry. I’m not that strong and didn’t manage to hold onto you.”

Huo Tingrui’s mind was genuinely processing slower than usual due to the alcohol. He replied a few seconds later in a slurring voice. “Oh oh. It’s okay. It was my bad.”
