Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1291

Chapter 1291: Taken An Interest In His Talent

Chairman Wang had snatched Deputy Chairman Qin’s phone, but Deputy Chairman Qin left the office without taking his phone back.

Judging from the way he stormed out, he was determined to take the Chinese herb from Mi Wei.

After he had disappeared through the door, Chairman Wang finally bent over, touching his chest slightly. His face had turned a little pale.

“Chairman Wang, are you alright?” asked Assistant Wang as he helped Chairman Wang to sit down. He poured a glass of water for Chairman Wang before retrieving medication from the drawer for him.

After Chairman Wang had taken the medication, he leaned against the seat backrest for some time before he finally looked better. He waved his hand and said, “I’m fine now.”

Assistant Wang felt relieved. He looked at the chairman worriedly. “Deputy Chairman Qin is really…”

Chairman Wang rested his eyes and said, “Give Mr. Mi a call and tell him we don’t need him back at the farming facility. Since someone in his family has taken ill, he can take as much time off as he needs.”

The association had previously done business with the client. Most of the time, Deputy Chairman Qin was the main point of contact, so Chairman Wang did not know who he was.

Judging from Deputy Chairman Qin’s attitude today, he could not help feeling suspicious about the client.

If they only wanted to cultivate the herb in small numbers, they could always give the herb to some other Chinese herb cultivator to give it a shot. Why did it have to be Mi Wei? Also, Deputy Chairman Qin even mentioned handing Mi Wei over to the client. Chairman Wang could not help feeling that something was amiss.

…

Chairman Wang frowned hard with his eyes lowered.

His assistant hesitated briefly before he looked at Chairman Wang and said softly, “Even though Deputy Chairman Qin reacted very strongly, he does make some sense. After all, Mi Wei is employed by the association. It is completely within the scope of his work if we want him to cultivate the herb.”

Chairman Wang shook his head. “Just think about it. This probably sounds like a completely innocent request. We have just lost Chinese herbs to a fire, but our customer suddenly compromised and agreed to accept something else instead. Doesn’t the timing seem strangely coincidental?”

Also, why did he happen to want Mi Wei’s herb? It was hard for him not to feel suspicious about this.

Chairman Wang was the leader of the Apothecaries’ Association, so he could naturally see things at a much deeper level.

“Do you mean the client is interested in Mr. Mi and not the herb?” said Assistant Wang in surprise when the notion dawned on him.

Chairman Wang looked at the door with a serious look on his face. “Perhaps.”

Assistant Wang glanced at Chairman Wang and asked quizzically. “Isn’t Mr. Mi from the countryside? Why would they take interest in him?”

“They’ve probably taken an interest in him due to his talents. Chairman Wang could only tell the assistant to inform Mi Wei not to come back just yet.

No matter what Deputy Chairman Qin had promised the client, this was an internal matter, so he did not want to implicate an innocent man.

“Okay then. I’ll give Mr. Mi a call in a minute,” said Assistant Wang as he nodded.

“Okay,” acknowledged Chairman Wang softly. He handed Deputy Chairman Qin’s phone to his assistant and told him to send it back to him.

He thought about the trouble he had in contacting Mi Wei, so he told the assistant before he left, “Oh yes. If you have trouble reaching Mr. Mi over the phone, send him a text message instead.”

The assistant glanced at the chairman and acknowledged him.
