In a spacious office, Bai Xiaowen met the manager of Super Godly Potion. He was a tall old man wearing a pair of reading glasses.
"Based on my understanding of Fan Jianwei, if there really was a problem with the potion in our pharmaceutical department, he would definitely come personally to sell this favor to me instead of sending a newcomer."
The tall old man, the manager of Super Godly Potion, spoke with a strong voice, "Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with the potion itself. The problem is with Manager Fan. "
"Oh?"
Bai Xiaowen placed the suitcase on the desk, opened it gently, turned it half a circle, and pushed it over.
The manager frowned and picked up the two bottles of potion. He compared them against the sunlight shining in through the window.
After seeing the price tag, the manager frowned. Clearly, he saw the problem with the labels being reversed.
"Tell me how it happened. Be more detailed. "The manager didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"I'm a student at Crimson Fire High School. My classmate, Li Shuyi, introduced me to this job." Bai Xiaowen knew that he couldn't hide anything from the manager in order to gain his trust.
After explaining his relationship with Li Shuyi, he told him everything about his meeting with Fan Jianwei.
The manager smiled when he heard Li Shuyi's name.
"Half an hour ago, I received a call from Miss saying that she introduced someone to me. So it was you."
The manager nodded and stopped smiling. He said in a serious tone, "I can believe you, but Fan Jianwei won't admit it without evidence. He can even push the blame to you. "
Bai Xiaowen instantly realized that Fan Jianwei must have some background in Super Godly Potion. Otherwise, as the manager, firing a manager was just a matter of words. He didn't need any evidence. All he needed was suspicion.
"I have evidence." Bai Xiaowen took out an old phone from his pocket and turned on the playback function.
Although the phone was old, the recording was very clear. Fan Jianwei's voice came clearly from the phone. "… Don't worry, I watched you put on the label the whole time. I won't make a mistake."
The manager was a little surprised. "You're quite smart. With this recording, we can at least prove that the wrong label wasn't your problem. "
"I suggest that the store manager carefully check the accounts of the past few months, especially the discarded potions. Manager Fan's act of embezzlement shouldn't have been a coincidence. It was premeditated and organized. "
Bai Xiaowen added another blow. If the wolf did not die, there would be endless trouble. After stepping into the store manager's office, it was as if he was standing on the opposite side of Fan Jianwei. He had to beat him to death.
The manager thought for a few seconds and picked up the office phone on the table. "He Cheng, immediately suspend Fan Jianwei's duties and put him under control. In addition, inform the deputy store manager, Liu Jiang, to strictly investigate the recent accounts of the sales department. The waste drug from last month hasn't been destroyed yet, right … Has it been destroyed? Then let's check this month's waste potions carefully. "
After the call, the store manager and Bai Xiaowen waited for news.
Checking the accounts was not something that could be done in a short period of time. However, he was able to see the results of the abandoned potions. Very soon, he found out what was going on. In January alone, there were 13 bottles of abandoned potions with fake labels. The initial estimate was that the loss was in the tens of millions.
The store manager looked at the results reported by his capable subordinate, Sun Hecheng, and frowned.
Fan Jianwei's fraud wasn't complicated. He deliberately mislabeled the expensive Permanent Enhancement Potion and sold it as a low-grade combat potion. His accomplice disguised as a customer and quickly bought it, then sold it to the black market for a profit.
As for the gap in the high-end potions, he used the mislabeled low-grade potions to make up for it. Then, he quickly entered the scrapping process.
What made the store manager angry was that the deputy manager, Li Qing, who was in charge of disposing of the abandoned potions, had also been bribed by Fan Jianwei. He shared the profits and brought considerable losses to the Super Godly Pharmacy.
The pharmacist, Sun Hecheng, was a middle-aged man with a square face. He looked like Zhu Shimao in the movie "Cops Catch Thieves." He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Even if he wore a traitor's outfit, he still looked like an underground worker. He gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder the waste rate of the strengthening potions has been high in recent months. It turns out that there's a bunch of vermin. Teacher Zhang, we can't let them off so easily. "
The store manager said slowly, "Old Liu went to check the accounts. We'll soon know how much they've embezzled. When the results are out, Hecheng, write a report and send Fan Jianwei to the Guild's Law Enforcement Department. As for the deputy manager, Li Qing, send him to the judicial authorities. "
Sun Hecheng agreed.
Bai Xiaowen was a little curious. He couldn't help but ask, "The Guild's Law Enforcement Department? Does it have the power to enforce the law? "
The store manager explained, "The Super Godly Pharmacy is controlled by the Super Godly Pharmacy. Fan Jianwei is a member of the Super Godly Pharmacy's logistics department. He has committed a crime, so of course, he has to be dealt with internally."
Seeing the store manager's matter-of-fact attitude, Bai Xiaowen was shocked. He knew that there were many large and small guilds in the world. The Super Godly Pharmacy was one of them in Hua Xia. However, he didn't expect that the guild's power was so great that it was above the national government.
Ordinary people didn't understand the world of the Awakened at all.
Seeing the change in Bai Xiaowen's expression, the store manager knew that he had misunderstood. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "The Guild's Law Enforcement Department won't cover up a crime committed by a guild member. Especially when it comes to massacring civilians and seriously endangering public safety. The Guild's Law Enforcement Department will deal with it severely. Otherwise, the pressure from the government will be too much for the guild to bear. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded. Even so, the guild's power was still very great. It was equivalent to a portion of the country's power.
However, thinking about the current situation of the psionic era, Bai Xiaowen also understood. In this era, the country's power was no longer overwhelming. The powerful Awakened had formed a guild. Even the country's power had to make some concessions to maintain the balance and jointly resist the threat of the wilderness.
The store manager then changed his tone and said with a smile, "You're Bai Xiaowen, right? Miss's classmate? Well, not bad, not bad at all. You can actually recognize the difference between the two medicines and see through Fan Jianwei's tricks. You've dug out the parasite for our store. The younger generation will surpass us in time. You're amazing. "
"Mr. Zhang, you flatter me." Bai Xiaowen was very modest.
The store manager wrote a note, stamped it, and handed it to Sun Hecheng. "Go to the finance department and collect 100,000 yuan as Xiao Bai's bonus."
This number was beyond Bai Xiaowen's expectations. He quickly stood up and said politely, "Mr. Zhang, 100,000 yuan is too much."
Bai Xiaowen had thought that a bonus of 8,000 yuan would be good enough. Don't compare it to the tens of millions that Fan Jianwei had embezzled. The two were different in nature and could not be compared.
In another time and space, the corrupt officials arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau often embezzled hundreds of millions. However, how much could the Anti-Corruption Bureau's bonus be? The ancient sword from the Warring States period that was dug out from his home was a priceless treasure. Even if he handed it over to the government, he would only get a bonus of 500 yuan.
The store manager was willing to give 100,000 yuan probably because of Li Shuyi. Otherwise, Bai Xiaowen, a third-year high school student, would be easily dismissed with a few thousand yuan.
"You're welcome. You've just arrived and you've already made a great contribution. Of course, you should be rewarded." The store manager waved his hand and said.
Bai Xiaowen was naturally very happy to receive a bonus of 100,000 yuan. However, he did not forget his business. He said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm here to work part-time. Can you arrange a job for me?"
Sun Hecheng was puzzled. "Bai Xiaowen, you already have a bonus of 100,000 yuan. Are you still planning to work part-time? You must be very busy with your studies. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "You two might not know my family's situation. My parents are not around. It's just me and my sister. Although 100,000 yuan is a lot, it's just water without a source. Although I don't earn much, it's still living money … More importantly, I can learn a lot by working part-time here. It will be useful for the rest of my life. "
Upon hearing this, the store manager and Sun Hecheng both showed a look of appreciation.
"You're young, but you're very open-minded. How about this? I'll give you two positions to choose from. First, you can be a salesperson in the sales hall. The job is easy and the environment is comfortable. 20 yuan an hour. If your sales results are outstanding, you'll get a commission. Second, you can do odd jobs in the pharmaceutical department. The job is tough and the environment is bad. 15 yuan an hour, "the store manager said after some thought.
Sun Hecheng was a little surprised. A part-time salesperson was even worse than an intern. How could he get a commission? However, seeing the store manager's serious face, Sun Hecheng wisely did not say anything.
"I'll choose the second one." Bai Xiaowen did not hesitate. Although being a salesperson was easy and made a lot of money, he could not learn anything. However, it was different in the pharmaceutical department. With his gift of insight and super brain, he could try to learn how to make medicine. It was a lucrative industry.
Upon hearing Bai Xiaowen's choice of going to the pharmaceutical department, the store manager nodded as though he had expected it. "Alright, you'll follow Master Sun. In the future, you'll come to the store every day after school for four hours. The hours have to be fixed. If you have something to do, you must ask for leave in advance. I'll say the ugly words first. Although you were recommended by Missy, if you don't do well, I'll still kick you out. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded solemnly. "Of course."
His first job in the Era of Psionic Abilities was finally confirmed.
Thinking back to everything that had happened that day, Bai Xiaowen once again strongly felt that he had changed. Not only had he become more confident in his personality, but his abilities had also become much stronger. When faced with a difficult problem, he only needed to go through it briefly in his mind to come up with the most beneficial choice.
For a young high school student to be able to defeat Fan Jianwei, a manager with real power, was not something that could be summed up with just the word 'smart'.
That night, Bai Xiaowen was led by Sun Hecheng to work for four hours at the back of the pharmaceutical department. Most of them were chores like washing, cleaning, and mopping the floor.
There were a total of more than ten pharmacists in the pharmaceutical department. Every pharmacist had their own production room, which showed that pharmacists had a unique and distinguished status. The store manager, Zhang Jing, and his right-hand man, Sun Hecheng, were both part of this group. The store manager was considered the best pharmacist in the store, and Sun Hecheng was also the backbone of the upper management.
There were more than a hundred apprentices in a subordinate position, and they were also divided into different ranks. The ten or so apprentices who were doing well had been promoted from ordinary apprentices to assistants. Basically, every pharmacist had a handy assistant. These ten or so assistants not only had a higher salary, but they also did not have to do chores. Every day, they would help in the pharmacist's exclusive production room. They were on a completely different level from the apprentices in the pharmaceutical department's lobby.
Bai Xiaowen, who had just arrived, was undoubtedly the most junior and had the lowest status. He could only do chores in the lobby.
