Chapter 109: Chapter 109 You’re So Bold

"Handsome, I’m sorry, Chen’s Pharmacy hasn’t been up to par, making you uncomfortable. Let me apologize first..."

The beautiful girl said.

"You’re apologizing to me? What’s your role at Chen’s Pharmacy?"

Lin Fei was curious.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Chen Jiaqi, and Chen’s Pharmacy is my family’s business..."

The beautiful girl told Lin Fei, while also extending her hand to him.

"Oh, Miss Chen, nice to meet you!"

Lin Fei immediately reached out and shook hands with Chen Jiaqi.

As the saying goes, don’t slap a smiling face.

Chen Jiaqi being so polite, bowing, and offering a full set of apologies, it would seem too pretentious if Lin Fei still acted aloof.

The moment he shook hands with Chen Jiaqi, Lin Fei felt her palm was soft and her touch was delightful; however, Lin Fei could only shake her hand briefly. He couldn’t just keep holding onto Chen Jiaqi’s hand as if he were some lecherous old man.

"Handsome, may I ask your full name?"

Chen Jiaqi asked Lin Fei with a smile.

"Lin Fei!"

Lin Fei introduced himself.

"Mr. Lin, nice to meet you. This incident involving the man with the surname ’Ma’ caused you some displeasure. It’s Chen’s Pharmacy’s responsibility. I apologize..."

Chen Jiaqi once again expressed her apology to Lin Fei.

"It’s fine, it’s a trifling matter, it’s all in the past now. Besides, I punched that Mr. Ma. To be honest, you’re hardly involved..."

Lin Fei shook his head, no longer angry.

"No, this matter is indeed very related to me!"

Chen Jiaqi spoke seriously, "This event reveals poor management at Chen’s Pharmacy, and that’s my fault!"

"You put it that way, it sort of makes sense..."

Lin Fei chuckled awkwardly.

Immediately following that, Chen Jiaqi turned around, glared at the middle-aged man collecting herbs in Chen’s Pharmacy, and her gaze turned icy as she said, "Uncle He, Chen’s Pharmacy trusted you, and employed you, is this how you do your job?"

"Miss, it’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding..."

Mr. He was a bit nervous facing Chen Jiaqi.

"Hmph, what do you mean by misunderstanding? When that Mr. Ma jumped the queue, did you manage the situation at all?"

Chen Jiaqi accused.

"I... I... I really didn’t, I am responsible, I... I was afraid of Mr. Ma, scared that he would hit me..."

Mr. He quickly shifted the blame onto Mr. Ma.

"Is it just because you were scared of Mr. Ma hurting you? Uncle He, do you really think I’m a fool? These past few months, you’ve been buying low-quality herbs at high prices from this Mr. Ma, compromising the interests of Chen’s Pharmacy. You’ve been taking kickbacks from Mr. Ma, haven’t you?"

Chen Jiaqi pointed at Mr. He and loudly questioned him.

"Young master, no... that’s not true, I’ve worked diligently, I am fully loyal to Chen’s Pharmacy, I’ve never wronged Chen’s Pharmacy..."

Mr. He’s expression slightly changed, he immediately thumped his chest in declaration.

"Uncle He, that excuse might fool a three-year-old, but not me. I’ve thoroughly checked the financial books recently and cross-referenced the herb inventory. The accounts don’t match up. You’ve caused Chen’s Pharmacy to lose nearly one hundred thousand in profit interests. This amount already constitutes a criminal offense. Wait for the law enforcement authorities to investigate you, prepare to face the music!"

Chen Jiaqi said coldly.

At that, Mr. He was completely terrified; he knew he couldn’t hide it from Chen Jiaqi any longer, Chen Jiaqi was serious about taking action against him.

Indeed, Chen Jiaqi had already discovered his unlawful acts at this position, and she had deliberately condoned his actions until now.

Only after Mr. He made Chen’s Pharmacy’s losses sizable would she be able to completely deal with him in one fell swoop.

If law enforcement got involved in an audit, Mr. He was undoubtedly going to jail.

Thinking this, Mr. He broke out in a sweat and couldn’t help but tremble all over, finally collapsing to his knees on the ground.

"Miss, please spare me and give me a chance to reform..."

Old He immediately kowtowed and begged Chen Jiaqi for mercy.

"Hmph!"

Chen Jiaqi snorted coldly and then said to Old He, "I can give you one chance. Within a week, you must return the 200,000 yuan loss to Chen’s Pharmacy. I will overlook this matter, but you won’t be working at Chen’s Pharmacy anymore. You’re fired effective immediately!"

"Miss, one week is too short. Where can I raise the money? Can you give me more time, how about a month?"

Old He remained kneeling on the ground, requesting Chen Jiaqi for more time.

"You’re not in a position to bargain with me, just one week. If you can raise the money and cover the losses of Chen’s Pharmacy, we’re even. If you fail, even if it’s just a day late, I’ll call the police and let the law enforcement intervene; you can await legal punishment then!"

Chen Jiaqi’s expression was cold and her tone was harsh, leaving no room for Old He to maneuver.

"Fine, fine, I’ll raise the money... I’ll go and raise it now..."

Old He had no choice but to agree.

Chen Jiaqi, turning to Lin Fei, said with a hint of apology, "Mr. Lin, I’m sorry you had to see this family disgrace!"

"No worries..."

Lin Fei smiled.

"This Mr. He, occupying a crucial position in my Chen’s Pharmacy, embezzled and exploited our interests. I noticed something was off long ago; today, I just took this opportunity to expose his misdeeds..."

Chen Jiaqi briefly explained the situation.

"Oh!"

Lin Fei didn’t show much interest in Chen Jiaqi’s issues.

"Mr. Lin, you beating up that Mr. Ma indirectly helped me. You are my benefactor..."

Chen Jiaqi said to Lin Fei with a wink.

"Really? I helped you too?"

Lin Fei seemed pleasantly surprised.

"Yes!"

Chen Jiaqi nodded and then said to Lin Fei, "Yeah, you helped me. Let’s not talk about this too much now. Can I check your herbs?"

"Sure..."

Lin Fei nodded.

He now had a better impression of Chen Jiaqi and consequently, his view of Chen’s Pharmacy also improved.

Given that, he found it okay to sell his herbs to Chen Jiaqi.

Lin Fei immediately opened a nylon bag filled with common medicinal herbs.

"Wow, so much! Nice, these herbs are very fresh and look pretty good. Did you just dig these up from the mountain?"

Chen Jiaqi asked Lin Fei.

"Yes, I dug them up from the mountain yesterday. They’re really fresh!"

Lin Fei nodded.

"Can I check this one too?"

Chen Jiaqi looked at another bag Lin Fei was holding.

"This one has wild ginseng; take a look!"

Lin Fei opened the bag containing wild ginseng.

"Wow, this one is huge!"

Chen Jiaqi exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the wild ginseng.

"?"

Lin Fei looked at Chen Jiaqi with a puzzled face.

What the hell are those suggestive words? What does she mean by ’this one is huge’?
