Chapter 1028 - Chairman Of The Apothecaries' a.s.sociation

Li Fang had rarely seen w.a.n.g lose his composure, so he asked quizzically. "w.a.n.g?"

w.a.n.g said nothing and simply scrutinized the pill in his hand.

The pill was roughly the size of a yellow bean. It looked dark and coa.r.s.e and did not seem like it was created by a typical apothecary which usually ended up looking bright. If anything, the pill resembled a failed attempt at making medicine.

Even though it looked mediocre, he could detect that it was created using an ancient prescription.

w.a.n.g's fingers trembled as he held the pill. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Fang with excitement in his eyes. "Where did you get this medication?"

Li Fang pondered briefly and said, "It was Chen's friend."

The moment w.a.n.g heard this, he turned to look at Fang Chen excitedly.

Fang Chen had been sitting with his back straight quietly listening to their conversation. He raised his head to look at w.a.n.g and paused before he asked. "What's wrong with the medicine?"

"Oh yes. I forgot to mention w.a.n.g is the chairman of the Apothecaries' a.s.sociation," explained Li Fang.

The moment he finished his sentence, Fang Chen finally lost his composure and his eyes were filled with shock.

Fang Chen only cared about work and did not pay attention to the elite families in the capital. He did not interact with them unless it was work-related. Despite getting transferred here for almost a year, the people in the capital kept saying that he was hard to get along with.

Although he did not pay attention to the elites in the capital, he had heard a lot about the Apothecaries' a.s.sociation.

Moreover, Lin Shuwen kept talking about the Apothecaries' a.s.sociation when Fang Chen was sick. Lin Shuwen had said it was hard to get connected to the a.s.sociation.

He did not expect w.a.n.g to be chairman of the Apothecaries' a.s.sociation.

Fang Chen was dumbstruck.

Lin Shuwen was equally stunned when he caught wind of w.a.n.g's true ident.i.ty as he sat across them quietly. His hands were on the table and they could not help trembling visibly.

He did not see this coming at all. How could this genial old man be the chairman of the Apothecaries' a.s.sociation?

The members of the Apothecaries' a.s.sociation were known to be aloof and lofty.

Lin Shuwen did his utmost to suppress the shock in his heart and quietly raised his head to look at w.a.n.g. He could not help recalling Pei Rong's att.i.tude when he reached out to Pei Rong to buy Chinese herbs recently.

It was worlds apart from w.a.n.g's att.i.tude now.

Sure enough, people could discern with one look who the true masters and posers were.

Lin Shuwen contemplated in his heart.

Fang Chen veered his eyes. He cleared his throat and apologized before answering w.a.n.g. "My friend came up with this prescription."

The moment w.a.n.g heard what he said, he composed himself and asked. "Did your friend come up with this concoction on his own?"

Fang Chen pondered. Since Huo Yao had given him the pills, she must have made them. He nodded and replied. "Probably."

w.a.n.g inhaled deeply and did his best to contain his joy. "Mind introducing your friend to me?"

After so long, this apothecary finally appeared!

Although Fang Chen was very surprised that w.a.n.g was the chairman of the Apothecaries' a.s.sociation, he did not agree to help right away. Instead, he replied courteously. "I'll have to ask."

He took out his phone and swiped it down to Huo Yao's number and pressed the dial b.u.t.ton.

w.a.n.g nodded anxiously. He did not seem upset at all. After all, there were very few apothecaries out there.

People with talent tended to be proud.

It was normal for talented people to refuse to give an audience to others.

w.a.n.g stroked his beard as he pondered.
