Vice President Qin glanced at Pei Rong before he sat back down. His expression had already returned to normal as he asked calmly. "Why were you looking for me?"
"Nothing much. I just made some medicine and wanted to show you," said Pei Rong. Then he bent down to pick up the broken pieces of the teacup on the floor.
Vice President Qin was not in the mood. But he did not get impatient when he saw Pei Rong's actions. "Maybe another day."
Pei Rong nodded. He tossed the broken pieces into the bucket beside him and contemplated before he asked. "I bumped into He Shi and the others."
Vice President Qin's eyes flashed with anger at the mention of He Shu. He sneered. "What an insensible person."
"What's wrong with him?" asked Pei Rong quizzically.
Vice President Qin raised his hand to rub his temples and did not speak for a long time.
Pei Rong stood rooted to the spot and did not know if he should speak.
Vice President Qin put his hand down and looked at Pei Rong. He said, "Oh yes. I remember you saying that Huo Yao is close to your father. Is that true?"
Pei Rong did not expect Vice President Qin to suddenly ask about this. He was stunned before he nodded. "She's okay."
Vice President Qin's eyes narrowed slightly before he said, "In that case, do you think she will give you the ancient prescription if your father asks for it?"
Pei Rong's eyes instantly lit up. "Err... Vice President Qin, the ancient prescription?"
Vice President Qin did not hide his motive. He looked sideways at Pei Rong and repeated his question. "All you need to do is tell me if I can get it."

Huo Yao and He Shu went down to the first floor.
Assistant Wang was waiting in the lobby. When he saw them coming out of the lift, he hesitated for a moment before he walked over to them.
He did not dare to look at Huo Yao. Instead, he asked her softly. "Miss Huo, did Vice President Qin make things difficult for you?"
Huo Yao glanced at him calmly. Before she could say a word, He Shu spoke first. "Assistant Wang, I thought you were a principled person. I didn't expect you to work for Qin Zheng."
Last night, when Assistant Wang came to visit Old Wang, He Shu even thanked him and chose to believe that not everyone would follow in the footsteps of evil, but reality had given him a slap in the face.
Assistant Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not explain much and only took out something from his pocket and stuffed it into He Shu's hands. "Please bring this medicine to the president."
Then he nodded apologetically at Huo Yao before he turned to leave.
He Shu pinched the bottle in his hand and furrowed his brows slightly. He then opened the bottle and looked at the medicine inside. His emotions were complicated for a moment.
He had overheard the conversation between Wang Yao and his teacher last night, but he did not expect Wang Yao to bring Huo Yao to the association.
Even though Assistant Wang had sent him a message to inform him, the nature of the matter had changed. A mistake was a mistake. Even if he tried to make up for it later, the scar would never heal.
Huo Yao glanced at the bottle in He Shu's hand and asked him. "What happened to Old Mr. Wang? Where is he now? "
Huo Yao's voice snapped He Shu out of his thoughts. He looked at Huo Yao and said, "Master is resting at home."
Huo Yao recalled Vice President Qin's attitude and asked him again. "Did something happen at the association recently?"
