Assistant Wang lowered his eyes as he replied. “She said she will come over once she’s done with her work.”
Deputy Chairman Qin nodded satisfactorily upon hearing this. “Good. Assistant Wang, I knew you wouldn’t disappoint me.”
Assistant Wang pursed his lips. He had no choice to begin with.
“Oh yes. I have something for you.” Deputy Chairman Qin opened his office drawer. He retrieved a bottle and placed it on the table. “Since Chairman Wang is unwell, I’m sure this will be good for him.”
Assistant Wang tightened his fists as he looked at the bottle on the table. After suppressing his anger, he walked over to the table, picked up the bottle of medicine, and said politely, “Thank you, Deputy Chairman Qin.”
“No worries. I also hope Chairman Wang will recover soon.” Deputy Chairman Qin smiled genially.
Assistant Wang did not look at Deputy Chairman Qin. He simply replied unhurriedly. “In that case, I’m going out to wait for Miss Huo.”
“Go on then.” Deputy Chairman Qin waved his hand.
After Assistant Wang had left the office, he opened his drawer and took out a piece of paper. He smiled looking at the powerful handwriting on it.
Everyone wanted good prescriptions.

Meanwhile, on the other end.
When Huo Yao answered the phone, she took the call right in front of Lei Xiao, so he heard the conversation as well. He stopped working and turned to look at Huo Yao. “If you have somewhere to go, then carry on.”
Huo Yao placed her phone back in her pocket. She glanced at the structural analysis on the laptop and continued typing. “It’s fine. I want to finish this structural analysis first.”
In any case, she was ahead of time.
“Okay then.” Lei Xiao did not try to stop her.
Even though he agreed this was a serious matter, he wanted to see the structural analysis report before deciding the next steps he would take.
30 minutes later, Huo Yao clicked save and stood up. He told Lei Xiao to come over and take a look at her analysis. “I only managed to come up with half the analysis. I will work on the rest when I get back.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Lei Xiao before taking the laptop.
Huo Yao checked the time and said, “Here you are. I have to go now.”
Lei Xiao wanted to walk Huo Yao out, but she stopped him.
Before long, Huo Yao left Lei Xiao’s place.
By the time she got to the Apothecaries’ Association, it was already 5:00 pm.
After parking the car, Huo Yao walked up to the security guard booth. Assistant Wang was already waiting for her there.
“Miss Huo, thanks for coming.” Assistant Wang told the security guard to swipe the door and let her enter.
Huo Yao nodded politely. She entered the gate without noticing the hesitant look on Assistant Wang’s face.
Assistant Wang showed Huo Yao into the association. As they walked, he said apologetically, “Sorry about making you come all the way here.”
“It’s fine.” Huo Yao waved her hand without taking it to heart.
The association was giving her free Chinese herbs. Even if she had to come to collect it, it was well worth it.
Before long, the two of them arrived at the lift. When the lift got to the ground floor, Assistant Wang swiped his access pass and the lift door opened. He gestured for Huo Yao to enter first.
Huo Yao looked at the lift panel as the lift went upstairs with her hands in her coat pocket. “Assistant Wang, what did you want to say to me?”
“Oh that…” Assistant Wang was at a loss. He raised his head and looked at Huo Yao as he parted his lips hesitantly. “I’m not the one who wants to see you.”
Huo Yao asked. “Is it the chairman then?”
The lift had already reached the third floor, but Assistant Wang did not answer Huo Yao. Just as they were walking out of the lift, he reached his hand out to hold the door open and waited for Huo Yao to exit before letting go.
After walking some distance, they stopped in front of an office. Assistant Wang looked at Huo Yao and said, “Deputy Chairman Qin wants to see you.”
