By the time Pei Rong reached the restaurant, Lin Shuwen had already been waiting in the private room for half an hour.
Even so, he did not appear impatient.
"Hi, Young Master Pei." Lin Shuwen extended his hand to greet Pei Rong.
Ever since he became an advanced apothecary last year, Pei Rong had become increasingly high-spirited. He gently touched Lin Shuwen's hand before withdrawing it. "Secretary Lin."
Lin Shuwen's eyes narrowed slightly. Then he returned to his seat with the standard smile on his face and passed the menu to Pei Rong.
Lin Shuwen did not mention buying medicine over the phone, nor did he mention it to Old Mr. Pei. Hence, after the waiter left, Pei Rong looked at Lin Shuwen and smiled. "Secretary Lin, you can tell me directly over the phone. You don't have to be so polite."
Although Lin Shuwen did not sound wrong, he understood what Pei Rong was trying to say.
Pei Rong was reminding him not to use Old Mr. Pei as a middleman.
Indeed, his worries were not unfounded.
The higher one's standing, the more one's tone would change.
Lin Shuwen cleared his throat and got straight to the point. "I do have a favor to ask of you, Young Master Pei."
He retrieved a piece of paper with a few medicinal ingredients written on it and handed it to Pei Rong.
Pei Rong's eyes narrowed when he read it. "What is this?"
"A friend of mine urgently needs these herbs. Young Master Pei has a high status in the Apothecaries' Association, so could you please help us buy these herbs?" asked Lin Shuwen politely.
Pei Rong looked at the medicinal ingredients written on the paper. He knew all of them and knew how precious they were. Most of them were used to detoxify, and two of them were used to restore bodily functions.
Very few apothecaries in the association would attempt to refine these medicinal ingredients. Firstly, they were rare, and secondly, they were usually used to refine S class medicine and above.
There were only a few S class apothecaries in the association.
Pei Rong put the paper down and raised his eyebrows before he asked. "Can I ask what they are used for?"
Was Fang Chen suffering from a relapse?
However, judging from the prescription, that did not seem to be the case.
Up until now, Pei Rong still remembered that Fang Chen's father's acquaintance had helped him recover. Back then, Pei Rong had taken the young lady's prescription and studied it. He had even managed to refine a C grade medicine that had almost reached B grade.
Lin Shuwen took note of Fang Chen's warning and shook his head. His expression remained impassive. "I'm not sure either. Mr. Fang gave it to me, so I searched the market and found out that the Apothecaries' Association had it. That's why I came to trouble you."
Pei Rongduan took a few glances at Lin Shuwen. He knew that Lin Shuwen was an old fox in the officialdom and was very tactful with his words. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't say it.
Pei Rong contemplated before he said reluctantly, "We do have these herbs, but they are very rare, so I'm not sure if the President will agree to it."
When Lin Shuwen heard this, he smiled and said, "The Eldest Young Master is already an Advanced Alchemist. He will definitely be highly regarded by the President. It shouldn't be a problem."
Ever since Pei Rong had been promoted, he had heard a lot of flattery. Although he enjoyed Lin Shuwen's words, he was not muddle-headed. "I can only try my best to ask around for you."
He did not agree right away.
"Okay. Thank you." Lin Shuwen nodded gently.
Pei Rong's eyes landed on the piece of paper again, and his eyes darkened.
