People usually had trouble accepting defeat. No one had ever seen anyone accept it so willingly.
Deputy Chairman Qin cleared his throat. Since He Shu had voluntarily admitted defeat, it seemed rude for him to mock him now.
He turned to look at Chairman Wang. “From the looks of it, the winner is out. Fu Cheng is the winner this year. Chairman Wang, you have seen his work as well. I am sure you agree he is the best, right?”
Chairman Wang nodded. “The pill is undoubtedly the best. I just have one question…”
He paused before he raised his head and looked at Fu Cheng. He asked. “Did you really make these pills?”
Fu Cheng was smiling as he lapped up the praise, but his face instantly froze upon hearing the accusation.
What was the meaning of this?
Was Chairman Wang suspecting him of cheating?
Fu Cheng’s palms sweated as he looked at Chairman Wang. He quickly composed himself and said politely, “What do you mean, Chairman Wang? Everyone saw me making those pills. Who else could have made them?”
Deputy Chairman Qin turned to look at Chairman Wang angrily. Before Chairman Wang could go on, Deputy Chairman Qin said, “Chairman Wang, are you taking it out on Fu Cheng and accusing him of cheating because He Shu did not get the number one position this year?”
Deputy Chairman Qin was surprised by his student’s performance, but whatever it was, Fu Cheng had talent.
Chairman Wang glanced at Deputy Chairman Qin. He did not get mad at Deputy Chairman Qin for being rude. He raised his hand at him. “Hang on.”
Deputy Chairman Qin frowned even harder. “What are you waiting for?”
Fu Cheng looked at Chairman Wang quizzically. He did not get it. What was Chairman Wang trying to do? As time passed, he could not help feeling uneasy.
Chairman Wang finally veered his eyes when the assistant returned. He turned to answer Deputy Chairman Qin’s question. “Let me show you something first. You will understand where I am coming from once you have seen it.”
The moment he finished his sentence, the assistant came toward him, gasping. He handed Chairman Wang the medicinal pill bottle.
Chairman Wang opened the bottle and took a whiff of its contents. Anyone with medical knowledge could determine the medicine just by smelling it.
After checking the medicine, he just knew that his hunch was spot on.
Chairman Wang shook his head and handed the medicine bottle to Deputy Chairman Qin.
Deputy Chairman Qin hesitated briefly before pouring a medicinal pill from the bottle. He was stunned when he smelled it and realized it was just like Fu Cheng’s medicinal pill. “Where did you get these pills from?”
Chairman Wang pursed his lips and said mildly, “What do you think? Do you agree it was made by the same person?”
Fu Cheng raised his head suddenly and looked at the medicine bottle in the deputy chairman’s hands.
Were those pills exactly the same as his?
How could this happen?
The other leaders of the association took the medicinal pill from Deputy Chairman Qin’s hand and compared it with Fu Cheng’s work.
In less than a minute, all of them came to the same conclusion.
They were undoubtedly created by the same person.
“Chairman Wang, where did you get these from?” asked one of the leaders of the association.
“A friend of mine gave them to me.” Chairman Wang contemplated and decided not to mention that Huo Yao was the new honorary deputy director of the association just yet.
“That is odd. Does this mean Fu Cheng’s pills are…” One of the leaders of the association looked at Fu Cheng without finishing his sentence.
All eyes turned to look at Fu Cheng in unison as they waited for him to explain himself.
