Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Old Mr. Pei raised his head and looked at his clueless son. He shook his head and sighed. “You are so shallow.”

Pei Feng looked upset when his father scolded him for no reason. “But I’m right. My brother is an intermediate apothecary with the Apothecaries’ Association. Even he can only make three to four pills at a go. But she could make 20 pills in one attempt, so something must be wrong.”

If apothecaries were able to produce a lot of medicine, it meant minimal wastage of ingredients. If they ended up with a small number as the final product, it meant that they had wasted a lot of herbs. However, 100% success… was unheard of.

Old Mr. Pei shook his head again. “You fool!”

He did not bother explaining anything further to his disappointing son. Instead, he headed to his room.

Pei Feng stood where he was and scratched his head as he watched his father perplexedly. He contemplated for a few seconds before taking out his phone to call his older brother.

The call got through quickly.

“Hello, older brother? I have a question for you. Is it possible for an apothecary to produce 20 pills at a go?” asked Pei Feng solemnly.

His older brother frowned. “How is that possible? Even your question is hilarious!”

Sure enough, his older brother agreed that it was impossible.

Hence, Pei Feng briefly told him about what happened earlier today.

“Enough. Don’t be upset. Dad was just saying it on account of the Min family. How could you have taken him seriously? Okay, got to go. I’m busy.”

Pei Feng put his phone away before long. If it were not for his older brother’s high status in the Apothecaries’ Association, would their family enjoy such prominence?

She was just an insignificant little girl.

Inside the car.

“At the Pei residence, I heard you talking about making incense. Do you know how to make incense?” Min Yu raised his brow. Although his voice was soft, it was unclear what he was driving at.

Huo Yao could not help sighing in her heart.

She forgot that she had told her neighbor about not knowing how to make incense. She had even given him a link for an online incense shop.

At the mention of incense making, Zhuo Yun’s ears sharpened and he listened carefully. He suddenly recalled all the incense piled in his room which he probably could not finish using in three years.

Zhuo Yun suddenly felt cheated.

Huo Yao was too mischievous.

Huo Yao cleared her throat. “Make incense? I don’t know how to. I only know some generic medical prescriptions.”

Min Yu laughed gently.

Huo Yao turned to look out of the car window and adjusted her posture. She said, “I’m tired. I’m going to take a nap. Tell me when we reach home.”

She covered her head with her hoodie, leaned into the seat, and closed her eyes.

Min Yu pursed his lips gently and glanced at her without saying a word.

After all, this little girl was not about to tell him the truth regardless. She was full of lies.

Zhuo Yun quietly turned off the music in the car.

By the time they arrived at the estate, it was past 10:00 pm. Huo Yao had expended a lot of energy making medicine today, so she genuinely fell asleep during the ride.

As a result, she did not even wake up when they pulled up outside her place. Zhuo Yun turned back and wanted to speak. However, Min Yu raised his hand, so he instantly shut up before turning off the engine.

Min Yu did not wake up the person beside him. Instead, he closed his eyes as well. The black car remained parked outside the villa.
