Huo Yao clicked back to the main page on her WeChat after seeing Min Yu’s red packet. She noticed three new numbers asking to be approved as friends.
She had not opened WeChat ever since she had left campus. Now that she saw the notifications, she suddenly recalled what Prof Rong had mentioned. He had informed her
that her senior brothers might reach out to her soon.
She quickly checked out their details on WeChat and discovered that they had added her number using a business card.
Huo Yao immediately guessed that they must be her senior brothers and Prof Rong must have given them her number, so she promptly clicked approve.
Since it was already almost 11:30 at night, Huo Yao felt it was probably inappropriate to text them at this hour. She could always do it the next day.
Just when she had decided upon this, her phone suddenly chimed. It was a text message from one of her senior brothers.
Li Chenhui: [Junior Sister, I am your eldest senior brother, Li Chenhui.]
Li Chenhui: [I sent you a red packet of $9999.]
Li Chenhui: [We should hang out and meet in person soon. *smiley face emoticon*.]
Huo Yao looked at her screen and the huge red packet she had received from Li Chenhui. She did not know what to say.
Were all the guys in the Physics department this loaded?
They had not even met. Here he was already being so generous.
Huo Yao touched her nose and did not accept the money.
nstead, she continued composing a text message: [Thank you, Senior Brother! *smiley face emoticon*.]
Li Chenhui quickly checked out Huo Yao’s social media footprint. He was very curious about his new junior sister whom Prof Rong had accepted as a disciple out of
nowhere. After all, the Physics department consisted mainly of guys, so he certainly had not seen this coming.
Also, they had never heard her name before, so she must be really smart if she caught the eye of Prof Rong.
Huo Yao had hardly any social media activity. The last post she had made was last year and they were all food-related.
Li Chenhui’s lips twitched quizzically upon seeing this. In his understanding, women loved using social media.
His junior sister was certainly special.
Li Chenhui quickly recalled Prof Rong sending him a text message informing him that his junior sister came from a poor family.
erhaps she was more diligent owing to her family situation. This was probably the reason she had very little time to spend on social media.
Li Chenhui turned his WeChat back on. When he noticed that Huo Yao did not accept his money, he typed out a new text message: [Junior Sister, remember to accept the
gift.]
Huo Yao replied: [Thank you, Senior Brother but it is too much, I can’t accept it.]
Despite being numbed by the vast sums of red packets she had received in the past two years, it was different this time. After all, she was not a Physics major.
Li Chenhui quickly typed back: [If you do not accept it, you are just being rude. I will send you an even bigger one if you do not accept it now.]
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She could sense that he was a wealthy man just by looking at his text messages.
She ended up accepting the red packet.
[That’s more like it.] Li Chenhui was very pleased that she had accepted the red packet.
It’s getting late. Have an early night.]
Huo Yao replied: [Yes, I will. Good night, Senior Brother.]
Li Chenhui raised his brow and sent an emoticon to Huo Yao.
His junior sister certainly seemed adorable.
The next day, Huo Yao received bank transfers from two other senior brothers.
it felt as though they had discussed it privately before both of them sent her $9999.
Huo Yao felt miserable just thinking about how much richer everyone else was than her.

Meanwhile, at the Apothecaries’ Association.
Chairman Wang sat with the deputy chairman in the conference room and chatted casually.
The deputy chairman raised his hand to check the time. It was two minutes to 10:00 am. He could not help frowning as he said, “Is the Chinese herb farmer coming? It is
almost time for our appointment.”
Assistant Wang looked out the door and said, “Perhaps he got held up by something on his way. He promised to come after all.”.
