  Chairman Wang took a few sips of water to moisten his throat before he said, “You said it yourself. It is really hard to find a decent Chinese medicine farmer. He naturally charges more, right?”


  ‘The assistant scratched his head and replied annoyingly. “Even then how could he ask for profit sharing? Isn’t he just being greedy?”


  Considering the amount of Chinese herbs the Apothecaries Association uses per annum, even 0.001% profit sharing was a lot of money.

  Chairman Wang put down the cup. He glanced at his assistant sideways. “If you were able to cultivate rare Chinese herbs, I don’t mind sharing some profit with you. Are you capable of doing it though?”1

  The assistant instantly lowered his head sheepishly.

  Chairman Wang shook his head. “People like you are simply narrow minded.”


  1

  The assistant held his tongue without daring to speak.

  Chairman Wang tapped his knees gently as he sat and contemplated. He said, “Why don’t you schedule a meeting with the Chinese herb farmer so I can personally meet him tomorrow?”


  1

  The assistant raised his head in surprise. “Are you meeting him in person?”


  “Uh huh.” Chairman Wang did not continue with the subject. He pondered before looking at the assistant. “Oh yes. Did any packages come in for me?”


  He recalled that Huo Yao was using same day delivery to send her package.

  “Uh huh.” The assistant nodded. “Let me go and bring it over for you now.”


  “What are you waiting for?” urged Chairman Wang. 1

  The assistant hurriedly left the office and headed to the storeroom next door. Before long, he came back to the office with the courier package.

  Chairman Wang picked up a penknife and opened the package to see a porcelain bottle inside. He excitedly took it out and opened the cap to check it.

  ‘After Chairman Wang smelled the medicine, he looked astonished. Although it was $ grade, judging from its intense scent, it was clearly higher than $ grade.1

  He poured out a single pill into his hand.

  ‘The assistant had rarely seen his boss this excited. He could not help taking a look at the pill and asked curiously. “Chairman Wang, what medicine is that?”


  Chairman Wang said nothing. He simply placed it back inside the bottle and put the cap back on. He responded in astonishment. “It’s really good. Far better than any other apothecary out there.”


  She was a 20 year old advanced apothecary. No, correction. Her skills were far more superior than that of an advanced apothecary.

  The assistant did not quite understand what the chairman was saying and simply looked at him quietly.

  “Place this in the collection room and label it as $ grade yiyuan pill.” Chairman Wang handed the porcelain bottle to the assistant.

  ‘When the assistant took the pill bottle and heard what Chairman Wang said, his hands shook uncontrollably. “S… $ grade pills?”


  “Uh huh.” Chairman Wang glanced at his assistant. “Do you know who made these?”


  The assistant held the bottle tightly. He pondered and asked. “Was it Mr. He?”


  ‘There were hardly any advanced apothecaries in the association. Even the chairman himself had only succeeded in doing so just two years ago. The only other apothecary with the same level of talent was He Shu. Other than him, the assistant could not think of anyone else.

  Chairman Wang shook his head. “These are not his pills.”


  Even though his disciple was talented, these pills were way out of his league.

  The assistant was puzzled. “So, who made them?”


  Chairman Wang took a sip of water, pursed his lips, and eventually said, “The new honorary deputy chairman.”


  ‘The assistant was stunned. When he snapped out of his shock, he opened his eyes wide in amazement. “Are you talking about Deputy Chairman Huo?”


  Chairman Wang nodded. “That’s right.”


  The assistant glanced at the porcelain bottle in front of him. When the chairman first brought up the honorary deputy chairman, he assumed that she was capable of producing A grade pills. Surprisingly, she turned out to be an advanced apothecary, capable of creating S grade medication…
