Min Yu finished reading the single-page report from Zhuo Yun and placed it on the table. He raised his head and said mildly, “If it’s just an ordinary company, the intel you have found wouldn’t be so clean.”
Zhuo Yun nodded with a solemn look on his face. “I agree, so I sent someone to investigate them already. Sadly, the company is shrouded in secrecy, so it was hard to learn more.”
“Since they exist, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before we find out the truth.” Min Yu narrowed his eyes.
“Uh huh. I will get my men to keep an eye on them. Oh yes! The Apothecaries’ Association is selecting a new chairman in a couple of days. Qin Zheng even invited several important names in the Chinese medicine industry over. I hear that they are going to vote and choose a new leader,” said Zhuo Yun.
“Already?” Min Yu was stunned. On their way to the restaurant, Huo Yao and Min Yu were just chatting about the association.
Huo Yao snapped out of her thoughts and raised her head to look at Zhuo Yun.
“Chairman Wang’s condition is no secret in the association. I have to say, Qin Zheng is quite blatant about his intentions and his attempts to take down the current chairman. If he takes over as the chairman, god knows what the association will become,” said Zhuo Yun sadly.
“In that case, we can’t let him become the chairman,” said Min Yu mildly.
Zhuo Yun’s lips twitched. “What do you mean?”
Min Yu took a sip of tea and did not answer Zhuo Yun. Instead, he looked at Huo Yao sitting across from him. “I recall you are the deputy chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association, right?”
Zhuo Yun promptly turned to look at Huo Yao inconceivably.
This was his first time hearing about this!
He had no idea that she was the deputy chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association!
Huo Yao glanced at Min Yu. “Don’t even think about it. I’m not interested.”
Her voice was clearly filled with contempt.
“You can make money out of it.” Min Yu raised his brow.
Huo Yao shrugged expressionlessly. “Do I look like a materialistic person to you?”
Zhuo Yun touched his nose quietly. He could not help feeling bewildered. “Miss Huo, are you really the deputy chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association? I thought you had never gone to the association before, right?”
He recalled asking her about this when he collected the Chinese herbs for her from the association.
“Uh huh,” replied Huo Yao. She explained calmly. “When you asked, it was true. I later got to know Chairman Wang, and he invited me to join the association as an honorary deputy chairman.”
Complicated emotions swept through Zhuo Yun’s heart. Huo Yao was now the deputy chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association. He suddenly had a feeling that his boss was no longer good enough for her.
Huo Yao failed to detect the look on Zhuo Yun’s face. She drank tea nonchalantly with her eyes lowered and said nothing.
Before long, the waiter entered the private room to serve the food. Since Zhuo Yun was done reporting matters to his boss, he made himself scarce and did not hang around to play the third wheel.
After Zhuo Yun was gone, Min Yu raised his head. “Are you really not interested?”
Huo Yao sighed and said powerlessly, “To be honest, I’m expected to take over a lot of family businesses and the documents are already sitting on my desk.”
Min Yu felt puzzled.

Meanwhile, at the Wang residence.
He Shu had refined pills using Huo Yao’s prescriptions. He handed the end product to Chairman Wang. “Take a look at this.”
Chairman Wang was a lot better now after Huo Yao had treated him, so he was able to get off the bed and walk a little. When he saw the pills, he could not help feeling impressed. “Even though they aren’t as good as her pills, they are pretty decent.”
He Shu replied in a reverent tone. “I could never compare to Miss Huo.”
“That’s true.” Chairman Wang nodded.
He Shu went quiet.
Chairman Wang’s phone rang, so He Shu walked over to fetch the phone. When he saw the caller ID flashing on the screen, he automatically frowned.
