Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Learn From Huo Yao

The next day, Huo Yao came up with a list of Chinese herbs and took a picture before sending it to Old Mr. Pei.

Since everyone kept fleecing her, it did not make sense for her to refuse Old Mr. Pei’s offer.

Old Mr. Pei nearly passed out when he saw the list which Huo Yao had sent him.

If it were ordinary medicine, he did not mind giving them to her for free. However, the list had all kinds of 100 year old rare medicine in there. Also, she needed them in large amounts. She was ruthless and brutal!

Despite Old Mr. Pei’s anger, he told his disciple to prepare the Chinese herbs.

Since he was the one who had made the offer, he had to do it even if it cost him a limb.

After school, Huo Yao wanted to go over to Old Mr. Pei’s place to make medicine and teach him how to make incense.

But the moment she left the school gate, she saw Min Yu’s black car waiting outside.

Huo Yao took out her phone. Sure enough, there was a text notification from Min Yu on her phone. She walked over to the car without reading it.

The back seat’s window opened to reveal Min Yu’s gorgeous face. “Old Mr. Pei told me to pick you up and take you there.”

Huo Yao raised her brow and glanced at him before opening the door. She slid in without saying anything though.

The engine started before long, and they were off to Old Mr. Pei’s place.

Min Yu rested his arm on his knee and looked at Huo Yao lazily. “The live stream program that you were on last week, was pretty interesting.”

It did not dawn on Huo Yao that he would have actually watched it. Although she was the one who recommended it to him, he honestly did not seem like the sort who would watch such a program. Hence, she could not help gazing at him thoughtfully.

Zhuo Yun looked in the rearview mirror as he drove. He chimed in. “I watched it too. I even sent you a gift.”

Considering how desperate for attention Zhuo Yun was, he had to tell her this.

Min Yu glanced at him calmly.

“Miss Huo, are you going to appear on the show only once?” asked Zhuo Yun.

Huo Yao flicked her stray hair and replied softly. “I’m going to participate in it for a few episodes, but it’s only because of my brother.”

Zhuo Yun twitched his lips. He recalled how she appeared on the last episode and wanted to tell her she didn’t look like someone who was simply there for a ‘guest appearance’ on the show. The airtime dedicated to her had been substantial.

“Are you planning on entering the entertainment industry?” asked Min Yu nonchalantly.

Huo Yao shook her head. “If I wanted to join it, I wouldn’t have worn a mask on the show.”

Min Yu laughed and said nothing.

The car arrived at the Pei residence before long.

Old Mr. Pei was waiting for them. After they entered the house, he said, “Let’s eat first. We can make the medicine after that.”

Old Mr. Pei’s wife had passed away, and left him behind with two sons. His firstborn was working at the Apothecaries’ Association in the capital. Since, his second son had a flair for medicine, he had inherited the family business.

His younger son found it inexplicable that his father was treating such a young girl with so much courtesy and enthusiasm. He had initially thought that it was because she was related to Min Yu.

Hence, he did not pay much attention to Huo Yao.

Old Mr. Pei did not explain anything to his son. Despite Huo Yao’s age, she could already create S+ grade medicine. Hence, it would do her more harm than good for people to find out how talented she was.

After eating, Old Mr. Pei took Huo Yao to his pharmaceutical laboratory. He wanted to stay inside to watch her work. However, he could not leave a VIP like Min Yu waiting alone outside, so he pulled his youngest son to the side.

“You should pick up a thing or two from Huo Yao. It really depends on your talent as to how much learning you can walk away with, today,” said Old Mr. Pei to his son with a serious look on his face.

Pei Feng could not help looking at his father perplexedly. “Dad, it’s one thing for you to let an outsider in here, but you are even asking me to learn from her. Have you gone daft?”
