Liu Gan noticed that the door to Qi Hui's office was closed when he arrived. Liu Gan contemplated before he knocked on the door.
He waited for about two minutes, but no one answered the door. Liu Gan went to the office next door. There was someone there.
"Director Qi should be teaching the students of the faculty at this time," the person in the office replied.
Hearing this, Liu Gan thanked him and left.
He did not wait for Qi Hui to come back.
It seemed pointless to ask him for help. Qi Hui was on good terms with Academician Liu, so he might not be able to get his funding back.
Liu Gan returned home with the documents Professor Zhao had given him.

Meanwhile.
Fang Chen asked Lin Shuwen to prepare the herbs that Huo Yao needed. Most of the herbs on the list were ready except for a few expensive ones that were not sold in the market.
Lin Shuwen was a little worried. He listed out the missing herbs and went to inform Fang Chen.
"Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you that the Apothecaries' Association might only have some of the herbs." Fang Chen put down his pen and looked at Lin Shuwen.
"The Apothecaries' Association?" Lin Shuwen's frown eased up. "Pei Rong is at the Apothecaries' Association. You should be able to contact him, right?"
Fang Chen nodded.
"But Pei Rong became an advanced apothecary last year and changed his identity. I wonder if he will avoid me," said Lin Shuwen after two seconds of silence.
Due to Fang Chen's health condition, the Apothecaries' Association had grown distant with the Pei family. Although Fang Chen had been transferred to the capital, the Apothecaries' Association was still highly respected in the capital.
Moreover, Pei Rong was not as friendly as Old Mr. Pei.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes. "Regardless, these herbs are related to Teacher Pei's health. You have to meet him even if he doesn't want to."
"Uh huh. How about this? I'll call Old Mr. Pei and ask him to let Pei Rong know," said Lin Shuwen.
In the past, Fang Chen would not have bothered Old Mr. Pei. However, the situation was different now, so he said, "Go ahead. Try to get the herbs ready as soon as possible."
Fang Chen paused as a thought crossed his mind. "If Pei Rong asks about the herbs, you don't have to tell him. Just tell him that I'm buying medicine for someone."
Lin Shuwen said, "Actually, Pei Rong is an advanced apothecary now and has the Apothecaries' Association behind him. If Miss Huo can't cure him, he will have another solution."
It wasn't that Lin Shuwen didn't trust Huo Yao's medical skills, but he was used to holding back.
Fang Chen raised her head and looked at Lin Shuwen solemnly. "There's no need. If Huo Yao can't cure him, then Pei Rong can't either."
Lin Shuwen opened his mouth to say something. In the end, he saw that Fang Chen was insistent and only believed in Huo Yao's medical skills, so he did not say anything else. "Fine. I will contact him now."
"Uh huh," replied Fang Chen calmly. He lowered his head and continued with his work.

Lin Shuwen went down and contacted Old Mr. Pei. Before long, Old Mr. Pei replied, so he called Pei Rong.
Since Old Mr. Pei had spoken up for him, Pei Rong accepted the invitation without hesitation.
The two of them arranged to meet at a membership-based restaurant in Beijing.
