Pei Rong was always aware that Deputy Chairman Qin knew soone important, but he did not expect Deputy Chairman Qin to be unafraid of the Min family. No wonder he kept trying to force Chairman Wang to give up his position.
Pei Rong tightened his grip on the box of incense as he looked at Deputy Chairman Qin. “I’ll give it a shot then.”
Since it was normal incense, it was probably undetectable when put to use. Even if sothing was wrong with the incense, it would prove nothing.
After all, it would look like pure coincidence if anything went wrong.
Deputy Chairman Qin looked less angry when Pei Rong finally agreed to do it. “If you want to get ahead, you have to do anything and everything it takes. If you don’t have the gumption, just go back to being an ordinary apothecary.”
Pei Rong nodded and said even more reverently, “You’re right, Chairman Qin.”
Deputy Chairman Qin could not help raising his head to look at Pei Rong when he heard Pei Rong calling him chairman.
Pei Rong lowered his head and said softly, “You are a capable man, so it is just a matter of ti before you get promoted to the position of chairman.”
Even though Deputy Chairman Qin liked what he heard, he put on a stern look and said, “I know it’s just a joke, but this is a serious matter, so this stays between us.”
He raised his hand, checked the ti and stood up from the couch. “Anything else?”
Pei Rong hurriedly stood up as well. “That’s all. I know you’re busy, so I won’t keep you.”
Deputy Chairman Qin waved his hand. He genuinely had to go out.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Shortly after Min Yu sat down on the chair at the hospital, Prof Min flipped over and got off the bed. He hurried for the bathroom with an urgent look on his face.
Two minutes later, Prof Min walked out of the bathroom clutching his belly looking weak. He climbed back into bed and leaned against the headboard and said tiredly, “I have spent almost 20 hours a day in the bathroom. In all my years, this has never happened to .”
This situation had been going on for three days.
Min Yu crossed his legs nonchalantly and said in an airy tone, “Well, you need the detoxing.”
Prof Min’s lips twitched. For a mont there, he started to doubt whether this was his real son.
“What was the archaeological expedition team doing in a prival forest?” asked Min Yu as he looked at his father.
“Nothing much. It was just a normal expedition.” Prof Min shrugged calmly.
Min Yu smiled ambiguously. “Oh really? Don’t you have better things to do?”
Prof Min cleared his throat and said, “Even if I tell you about it, you won’t be interested.”
“How would you know if you do not try?” Min Yu tilted his head sideways looking at Prof Min. “After all, you nearly died out there.”
Prof Min veered his eyes guiltily. “It was a top-secret expedition. I’m fine now, aren’t I?”
Min Yu sneered gently.
Prof Min did not know what to say.
Min Yu did not continue harping on the subject. Instead, he chatted about sothing else. Before long, Prof Min ran to the bathroom anxiously again.
“Can you ask your girlfriend how long this has to go on for?” said Prof Min after lying back in bed again.
“Now that you ntion it, no one has paid the consultation fees for the archaeological expedition team yet,” said Min Yu mildly.
“I don’t get it.” Prof Min was caught by surprise. “What consultation fees?”
Min Yu straightened his sleeves and replied nonchalantly. “My girlfriend’s services don’t co for free.”
Prof Min caught his son’s drift and went speechless.
Min Yu’s phone rang in his pocket, so he retrieved his phone. Before he answered it, he said to Prof Min, “Just pay her based on the Apothecaries’ Association’s chairman’s rates. You can transfer it to my bank account. Much appreciated, Dad.”
Prof Min was completely speechless.
