Chapter 898: Only When the Medicinal Herbs Are Good Will the Medicine Be Good

Some things could be compromised while others could never be. This was a matter of principle.

“Sir?”

“Let’s go.”

Zheng Weijun was very busy now. He had to greet the leaders who had arrived to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. It would be better to tell him about it later.

Before leaving, Wang Yao said to the manager in charge of production, “These herbs can’t be used!”

“Yes, Mr. Wang,” the man respectfully said.

He knew that Wang Yao’s identity was special. He was the largest shareholder of the pharmaceutical company. His original employer was only the second shareholder, but he was responsible for the daily operation of the entire pharmaceutical company. Young Master Zheng had to listen to the words of the person in front of him. Moreover, Young Master Zheng had specifically told him that no matter what Wang Yao said, he must obey unconditionally.

“What about the other herbs?”

“There is no problem with the other herbs, but without this herb, the entire medicine can’t be made,” Wang Yao said.

“You guys can just pretreat these herbs first.”

“Noted.”

After the ribbon-cutting, part of the pharmaceutical company’s equipment was put into operation. Zheng Weijun had booked almost half of the best hotel in Lianshan County to entertain the dignitaries who had come to attend the opening ceremony.

Wang Yao did not go. Only a few people knew that he was a major shareholder in the pharmaceutical company. He was unwilling to participate in such an occasion.

In the afternoon, Zheng Weijun, who was a little drunk, came to the pharmaceutical company. He realized that production was not going according to the original plan. The person in charge of production saw him and jogged to his side. He told him what Wang Yao had said in the morning, word for word.

Zheng Weijun’s face immediately darkened.

“Is there a problem with this herb?”

“Well, I already arranged for someone to test it. There is indeed a problem. The drug residue exceeds the standard level.”

“Drug residue? Didn’t I arrange for wild-grown herbs to be purchased? How could there be any drug residues on it?” Zheng Wei asked in a grim voice.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Zheng.”

“Don’t say sorry to me. Who was in charge of the procurement?”

“Lao Chen.”

“Lao Chen is also a long-term employee,” Zheng Weijun said.

“Yes.”

“Call him to see me at once.”

“Yes, Mr. Zheng.”

The person in charge jogged away. After a while, he brought another man over to Zheng Weijun. He was a man in his 50s. He was a little short in stature. There was sweat on his forehead, perhaps because he had been running.

“Mr. Zheng, were you looking for me?”

“Lao Chen, how long have you been with me?”

“Well, for almost 10 years now,” Lao Chen replied. He felt very uneasy. He did not know why the Young Master was suddenly asking him these questions.

“You are also an old employee. What did I entrust to you before? Repeat it.”

“All raw materials must be wild-grown to ensure quality,” Lao Chen said.

“You do remember. So, what is with this licorice?”

“Licorice?” After hearing that, Lao Chen was stunned. He immediately understood the reason why the Young Master was looking for him.

“Young Master, is there something wrong with the herbs?”

“What do you think?”

“I… I really don’t know!” Lao Chen was a little anxious. He had personally checked and gotten the key herbs to make sure there was no problem. Later, because of something, there were two herbs that he could not use, so he had to get them himself. Unexpectedly, something had gone wrong.

He had paid attention to the purchase of the materials this time around. He did not have any bad thoughts.

“Solve this problem within three days,” Zheng Weijun said after a long silence.

“Yes, yes.” Lao Chen kept nodding and bowing as if he had been pardoned from a great crime.

“I repeat, all raw materials must comply with the requirements. The cost problem should not be considered for the time being.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Alright, you can go.” Zheng Weijun waved his hands. Judging from his expression, he was disappointed.

The two left in a hurry.

“Phew! What a close call!” Lao Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Lao Chen, how could you make such a mistake?”

“I didn’t expect such a thing for a little amount of herbs,” Lao Chen said. “Do you think it is really worth it? It’s only been a few days since I met with them.”

“The Young Master said in three days.”

“Don’t worry. If they dare lie to me, I will clean them up!” Lao Chen’s face showed a trace of ruthlessness.

After leaving the pharmaceutical company, Zheng Weijun went to the village.

“Well, what can I do for you?”

After seeing Zheng Weijun, Wang Yao was a little surprised.

“I’m sorry that something like that had happened, Sir.” Zheng Weijun was here to apologize.

“Ah, it’s OK since it hasn’t been used in the medicine yet,” Wang Yao said.

“I have dealt with it,” Zheng Weijun said. “Such a thing will never happen again.”

“Well, that is and the best attitude to have,” Wang Yao said. “Only when the medicinal herbs are good will the medicine be good.”

“Well, yes! In three days, the wild licorice will be in place.”

“Alright, you can use these few days to pretreat those herbs,” Wang Yao said.

Zheng Weijun didn’t stay for long there. When he finished with the matter, he left.

“That man is quite scheming,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Well, he is a businessman after all, so it is normal to be scheming,” Wang Yao replied.

“Back to the point. Sir, you are the biggest shareholder in the pharmaceutical company, right?”

“Yes, I own the largest share, but Zheng Weijun is responsible for the operation of the company. I just provide technical support. You know, I’m not good at management,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

“Well, when I graduate, I can come and help,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Sure.”

Su Xiaoxue stayed for another day and was ready to leave on the third day.

In the morning, Wang Yao only received one patient. It was the child who had fainted in the market. After two treatments, the child’s condition had improved significantly. He had only fainted twice a day. Such progress made his parents very happy, and their son’s spirit was obviously much better than when he first came. His face was ruddy and he was spirited.

It again performed acupuncture on the child. Su Xiaoxue stayed to the side and watched.

One by one, the silver needles pierced into the child’s body. The child was lying on the bed and fell into a special state. If he moved just a little, there could be an error in the acupuncture points. Once that happened, not only would there be no therapeutic effect, it might also damage his body.

After the treatment, he had to drink a bowl of bitter medicine.

“How do you feel?”

“Quite good,” the child said.

“That’s good,” Wang Yao said. “I will be going on a long journey. I won’t be back for three days. Come back again in four days.”

“OK, Dr. Wang.”

For a long time, they had been looking for doctors and medicines everywhere for their son. They had suffered a lot yet survived through all those hardships. Waiting for a few days was nothing.

“Thank you so much.”

Wang Yao called Zhong Liuchuan and told him that he would be going out of town. He also told his parents that he would accompany Su Xiaoxue to Jing.

“Don’t worry, your father and I are at home!”

“You don’t have to worry about the things on the mountain,” Wang Yao said. “If you need help, find Zhong Liuchuan and the others.”

“We got it. Have a safe journey.”

At noon, Wang Yao went to Haiqu with Su Xiaoxue. They flew directly to Jing and arrived in the evening. Chu Lian met them at the airport.

He went with Su Xiaoxue to her home and gave her parents some things that he had brought from the mountain. After chatting with them, Wang Yao left and went to stay at the little cottage nearby. Chen Ying and Chen Zhou were happy to see him.

It was late, so he went to bed. The next day, Wang Yao got up early. Chen Ying had gotten up even earlier and had already prepared breakfast.

There were a few small and delicate dishes.

“Your cooking has improved,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

“Sir, try it.”

“Mmm, it’s delicious.” Wang Yao raised his thumb.

In terms of culinary skills, Chen Ying could surpass the chefs in high-class hotels.

“As long as Sir likes it,” she said.

After Chen Zhou got up, he practiced his boxing in the yard. His practicing was improving and looked good.

“Hmm, did you teach him?”

“Yes, I did.” Chen Ying said. Her younger brother had some foundation from his early days. If he had not gotten that strange disease, there was a huge possibility that he would already be equipped with a set of good martial arts.

“Pretty good.”

“Sir, can you give him a little guidance?” Chen Ying had seen Wang Yao’s amazing kung fu. He was like an immortal on Earth.

“Sure, I can give him some guidance,” Wang Yao said with a smile.

“Thank you, Sir,” Chen Zhou hurriedly said. He had heard from his that this gentleman not only had excellent medical skills, but he was also amazing at kung fu but did not normally show people how good he was.
