Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Lin Shuwen knew that Huo Yao was not much of a talker, so he did not continue making polite conversation. Instead, he started the engine and drove off.

The car pulled up at a posh clubhouse 30 minutes later.

An employee was waiting at the entrance. After Huo Yao raised her head to see the signboard, she recalled that it had a branch in City S as well.

The decor was very similar, but this branch was clearly posher.

After Lin Shuwen parked the car and came back, he recalled the events that transpired last year, so he said softly to Huo Yao as he led her in, “This clubhouse has excellent privacy, so we don’t have to worry about anyone taking any pictures.”

Huo Yao acknowledged softly. She knew why Lin Shuwen brought this up.

The two of them walked up to the private room on the second floor unhurriedly. Although Lin Shuwen was walking ahead, he looked particularly reverent and courteous.

Song Zhi said to the butler, “When Mr. Fu gets here, be sure to show more respect. Also, what about the gift I told you to prepare? Is everything taken care of?”

The butler nodded. “Don’t worry. Nothing will go wrong.”

“Uh huh. Good.”

Song Zhi acknowledged softly as he walked downstairs and happened to walk right into Lin Shuwen and Huo Yao. Song Zhi inadvertently glanced at Lin Shuwen as he walked upstairs and paused briefly.

Lin Shuwen was a government official, so he did not have the same aura as a businessman. Anyone who knew better could tell at a glance that Lin Shuwen was no ordinary man.

Moreover, Song Zhi found Lin Shuwen’s face to be particularly familiar, but he was unable to recall where he had seen the person.

Since Huo Yao was walking on Lin Shuwen’s right, she was mostly obscured from sight and he failed to detect her presence.

“Young Master Zhi?” said the butler uncontrollably when he noticed Lin Shuwen and suddenly stopped walking as he stared upstairs.

After gathering his thoughts, Song Zhi kept watching from behind as Lin Shuwen walked off. He paused for two seconds before he said, “Why does that man seem so familiar?”

The butler only briefly saw Lin Shuwen, so he wasn’t sure either. He simply shook his head and said, “I didn’t get a close look at him either. Judging from his aura, he is probably a government official.”

“Perhaps,” said Song Zhi before veering his eyes and walking downstairs.

He was here on important matters today, so he did not have the time to get distracted.

Before long, they arrived at the private room.

Fang Chen was on the phone when Huo Yao entered. The moment he saw her, he smiled and gestured for her to take a seat.

Lin Shuwen glanced at Fang Chen. He served Huo Yao some tea before telling the staff to inform the kitchen and have them send the food.

After Fang Chen was done with the call, he walked over and sat down across Huo Yao. He looked normal now and was no longer boney, frail, and sick.

“I wanted to catch up with you earlier, but you were busy with military training, so I did not have the chance to ask you out.”

Fang Chen smiled as he spoke. His stern aura had disappeared and he seemed friendly.

Huo Yao took a sip of tea before putting down the teacup unhurriedly. “It’s fine.”

“Oh yes. What faculty did you get into at Tsing University?” asked Fang Chen curiously.

Huo Yao paused for two seconds before she answered. “I got into Biology.”

Fang Chen did not seem surprised to hear this. After all, she was a very good Chinese physician, so she was bound to be equally gifted at Biology.
