Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 503
Chapter 503: What Is Chairman Wang’s Full Name?
Pei Rong smiled politely as he took a sip of tea before he replied unhurriedly. “Don’t worry about it, Secretary Lin. I was planning to come anyway.”
Lin Shuwen smiled as he asked him. “How’s Chairman Wang doing?”
Chairman Wang was the leader of the Apothecaries’ Association and head of the renowned Wang family.
“He has gone into seclusion to research ancient prescriptions. Otherwise, I would have asked him about Mr. Fang’s situation before I came here,” said Pei Rong somewhat disappointedly.
Huo Yao raised her brow when he heard him mention ancient prescriptions.
Lin Shuwen was disappointed to hear this, but even if Chairman Wang were around, they might not be able to get him to help. Moreover, Chairman Wang was obsessed with ancient prescriptions, so his medical skills might not be as strong as Old Mr. Pei’s.
That was the reason he brought his boss to Old Mr. Pei.
Lin Shuwen gathered his thoughts before he said, “It’s fine. I’m sure you will be able to treat him.”
Pei Rong was not the sort of man who got cocky after some praise. He went quiet for two seconds before he said, “Mayor… Mr. Fang’s symptoms are very unusual, so no promises.”
After he learned of the patient’s symptoms yesterday, he asked the advanced apothecaries at the association. Most of them said that they had never encountered such symptoms before and could not diagnose the illness.
Despite Pei Rong’s lack of confidence, they could not refuse treatment now that the patient had come knocking on their doors.
Lin Shuwen detected the flash of self-doubt on Pei Rong’s face. Even though Lin Shuwen was worried, he stood up. “In that case, let’s waste no time and examine the patient.”
“Sure.” Pei Rong nodded. He wanted to examine the patient first as well.
The patient Lin Shuwen was talking about was in the guestroom, so Pei Rong and Lin Shuwen left the living room one after another.
Huo Yao sat in the chair without moving. She gently rapped the armrest with her long slender fingers as she thought about Mr. Wang whom Pei Rong had mentioned.
Old Mr. Pei had already gotten to the door when he realized that Huo Yao did not follow behind, so he turned around. “Little Master Huo, are you coming?”
Huo Yao snapped out of her thoughts. She raised her head to look at Old Mr. Pei and shook her head before she glanced at the door and stood up.
“Let’s go see him,” said Old Mr. Pei.
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao followed behind Old Mr. Pei and casually asked after taking a few steps. “What’s Chairman Wang’s full name?”
Old Mr. Pei was surprised that Huo Yao suddenly asked about Chairman Wang. He scratched his head before he replied. “I’m not sure either. I’ll ask Pei Rong about it later.”
“It’s fine. Don’t bother.” Huo Yao waved her hand.
After all, he was no big deal.
Old Mr. Pei made a mental note to ask Pei Rong about it when he heard her reply.
Pei Feng naturally heard their conversation while he was walking in front of them and turned back to look at Huo Yao. She was certainly a great actress.
What did she think the Apothecaries’ Association was? Not any Tom, Dick or Harry could have access to it.
How could she have the cheek to ask their father about the chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association? Also, why did she sound as though she knew the chairman and had merely forgotten his name?
Pei Feng shook his head speechlessly. Despite her terrible acting, his father failed to notice it.
