The person looked so pitiful at the ti, seeming to regard the suppressant as the last straw for survival, going so far as to kneel down and beg her.
Feeling a mont of softness, Sherry agreed and even let the clinic’s Chinese dicine doctor go with him to treat his wife.
But this made it difficult to explain to the custors who were already urgently pressing for the suppressants.
Knowing she hadn’t handled things well this ti, bringing such trouble to the clinic, Sherry felt very guilty inside.
"Oh, I wondered what it was." Ann Vaughn casually picked up a refreshing aroma ball from the table, dabbed so on her wrist, and leaned down to sniff it lightly.
The extracted petal essence mixed with dicinal herbs produced a pure and mild fragrance, fragrant but not pungent, very refreshing and invigorating, with a lasting aroma.
Seeing that she didn’t seem to be concerned about this matter, Sherry smiled wryly, "I’ll go explain it clearly to those custors and ask them to wait a bit longer."
The number of suppressants is insufficient, far from eting the demand of so many reserved custors...
"No need." Ann Vaughn stopped her, then turned her wrist slightly for Sherry to sll the fragrance above, "How is it?"
"Is this the first project you’ve prepared?" Sherry felt the fatigue in her brain dissipate, and her whole self felt a lot more refreshed, "Hmm... I can only sll the white orchid in it."
Her sense of sll wasn’t as keen as Ann Vaughn’s. So components Ann Vaughn could identify just by slling them, getting eight or nine out of ten right.
Ann Vaughn nodded and opened the box on the table, revealing twelve aroma balls in various colors.
"These little guys differ in color and efficacy, twelve in a set." Ann Vaughn explained, "Thanks to them, I was able to produce more suppressants over the past few days than was expected."
"How much stock do we have now?" Sherry picked up a pale purple aroma ball and asked.
Ann Vaughn pondered for a few seconds, "Enough to last until next week when the institute delivers a new batch of suppressants."
Hearing this, Sherry nearly crushed the aroma ball, "You exposed your identity as a pharmacist!?"
"How could I?" Ann Vaughn chuckled at her agitation, "What they received were semi-finished products, skipping the extraction step."
"It’s clever of you to co up with this... So, which institute are you collaborating with? Need to investigate a bit?"
"You know it, QY Research Institute."
Sherry’s impression of QY was still stuck on those overwhelming numbers of virus reagents.
Although she later heard from Ann Vaughn that the plan seed to have been terminated, Sherry was still apprehensive.
"Are you sure there won’t be any issues?"
Ann Vaughn understood what she was implying and couldn’t help but smile faintly, "Don’t worry. Besides, where else can you find such excellent free labor?"
The researchers at QY are elites among elites.
Even she, when Director Shaw personally approached her, was taken aback.
Now that she thinks about it, Director Shaw couldn’t have picked a worse ti, approaching her at her busiest, calling it a coincidence would be hard for Ann Vaughn to believe.
Ding dong.
Ann Vaughn’s phone on the table suddenly chid.
She picked it up and glanced at it casually, her eyes suddenly fixed, and then an enchanting shine began to emanate from within them.
"With a smile that sweet, it must be a ssage from Mr. Hawthorne?" seeing her in such a spring-filled deanor, Sherry couldn’t help but tease her.
"Yes." Ann Vaughn openly admitted, while opening his ssage box to reply, she said, "He said he’s returning the day after tomorrow, wants to wait for him on the ho’s lawn."
Looking at the words "wait for " at the end, Ann Vaughn’s eyes curved, and her already exquisitely beautiful face grew even softer, stunningly beautiful.
The annoyance from him hanging up on her before evaporated like water droplets in the sun.
Sherry asked puzzled, "Why on earth on the lawn in such cold weather?"
Ann Vaughn was also curious about this, suddenly thinking of the man’s talent for saying provocative things, her cheeks flushed instantly.
"Better not be what I’m thinking!"
Otherwise, he shouldn’t dare hope to get back into her bed again!
Sherry: ?? What are you thinking?
"Boss! Boss!"
A shout echoed from afar, as the Chinese dicine doctor Sherry sent out ran all the way to Ann Vaughn’s side, panting heavily.
Seeing him drenched in sweat, Ann Vaughn asked, "What happened?"
"It’s, it’s that custor who bought the suppressant!" The Chinese dicine doctor had a look of pure disbelief, "When I went into the ward to treat his wife, he said he’d be right back, then when he returned, he said he accidentally lost the suppressant!"
"He kept pestering to buy another suppressant. I felt sothing was off, so I didn’t stay long."
The suppressant was lost?
Ann Vaughn’s clear eyes narrowed slightly, and her red lips quirked into a mocking smirk, "How coincidental."
"If it was so important to his wife, why would he take it out of the ward?" Sherry’s face also turned unpleasant, "It seems it was a scam from the start."
The Chinese dicine doctor shook his head, "His wife really has cancer, that much I verified."
The custor brought a dical record, with certification from the First Hospital.
Otherwise, Sherry wouldn’t have sympathetically agreed to sell him a suppressant.
But if that custor indeed had other motives, then Vaughn Clinic might be in trouble again.
Thinking of this, both Sherry and the Chinese dicine doctor looked downcast.
"Don’t worry." Ann Vaughn patted Sherry on the shoulder to comfort her, "They likely just want to learn the suppressant’s formula, it’s no big deal."
Because even if they knew the formula, they couldn’t produce a suppressant with the sa effect.
Moreover, just the extraction step was enough to thwart all their plans from the very start.
This, Ann Vaughn was sure of.
...
Inside the laboratory of the dical Association Building.
"President, we have repeated the reagent analysis five or six tis, and the results are the sa each ti." A mber in a white coat handed the report to President Pierce, saying as he did, "Look, there are nearly a hundred unknown components."
If it was just two or three components, they could have substituted with other things and succeeded.
But damn, with nearly a hundred, matching them all would take until the end of the world!
Those mbers doing the experints were tearing their hair out; they’d never encountered such a difficult drug!
"Not herbal dicine components?" President Pierce frowned.
"It’s both, and it’s not." The mber replied, "These nearly a hundred components don’t seem like simple herbal dicine, but I’ve checked, they’re not chemical substances and are beneficial to the human body."
