If I Could Get My Hands on This Prescription

Yu Jun led Yu Baiwei up to the third floor.

They arrived at an antique room, and Yu Jun took the main seat at the top.

"Xiao Wei, Anshi Hall has been in Jiang City for so many years, and look at how it's developed. Do you know why?"

Yu Baiwei pursed her lips.

"It's thanks to the continuous efforts of our ancestors in Anshi Hall!"

Yu Jun shook his head, then nodded again, looking quite disappointed.

"That's one part of it!"

"But there's also the most important reason, and that's the rules Anshi Hall has always strictly followed!"

"Anshi Hall, Rule 26. What is it? Do you still remember?"

Yu Baiwei furrowed her brow in thought, then stammered.

"Anshi Hall Rule 26 states that all customers entering the shop must be greeted with sincerity and friendliness, with no intent of neglect or coldness..."

As she spoke, Yu Baiwei's face gradually turned pale!

"Grandpa, I..."

Yu Jun shook his head and sighed.

"Old Xu was right just now!"

"You shouldn't have treated that... with that kind of attitude."

Yu Jun paused, unsure of the other person's age, so he followed Old Xu's lead.

"You shouldn't have treated that young fellow with that kind of attitude!"

"Even if he wasn't our customer, him coming into the shop is support for Anshi Hall!"

"Moreover, he spent 100,000 Blue Star Coins here!"

"..."

Yu Jun lectured her earnestly until Yu Baiwei was filled with shame, then he stopped.

He looked out the window and sighed deeply.

"Sigh!"

"I'm getting old, and your parents left too soon. This business, I ultimately have to pass it on to you!"

"When will you be able to take the reins?"

Seeing this, Yu Baiwei quickly said with a tearful voice.

"Grandpa! I was wrong!"

Yu Jun glanced at Yu Baiwei and sighed inwardly again.

He knew his granddaughter too well.

Whenever he reprimanded her, she was the quickest to admit her mistakes, but she never changed afterward.

If this continued, he really couldn't bring himself to pass Anshi Hall onto her.

"Sigh!"

"Zhenyao Workshop and Miaofang Pavilion have both developed new Blood Replenishing Agents. Their efficacy is about 20% higher than our third-generation product, and the price is lower!"

"I'm currently searching for medicinal formulas outside, hoping to launch a product that can compete with theirs, but I haven't found anything suitable yet!"

"Our third-generation product is the foundation of Anshi Hall. If we can't find anything this time, we might lose our position among the top three pharmaceutical groups!"

"You... sigh!"

"I taught you pharmacological knowledge from a young age, hoping you could achieve something in this field and keep these core technologies within our own hands!"

"But you... I heard that the new Blood Replenishing Agents from the other two companies were developed by their third-generation members!"

Hearing this, Yu Baiwei felt even more ashamed.

"Grandpa, I'll go research it right away!"

When Yu Jun heard Yu Baiwei's words, he felt even worse.

If it could be researched and developed so quickly, why would he have to go through so much trouble?

"Forget it, it's too late now!"

"I've already asked friends to acquire medicinal formulas. I hope to find a recipe that meets the requirements for the fourth-generation product."

As Yu Baiwei came out of the room, her expression changed in an instant.

From her previous pitiable look, it immediately turned into gritted teeth.

It was all that country bumpkin's fault for causing her to be scolded by Grandpa!

Even if he was a customer here, it didn't change the fact that he was a fraud.

How could traditional Chinese medicine be used to refine a blood replenishing soup?

It can't even properly treat a common cold for ordinary people!

Hmph! He's trying to scam Anshi Hall?

She would absolutely not allow it!

Thinking this, she turned and walked towards the direction of the decoction room.

There was only one decoction room for traditional Chinese medicine.

Normally, no one ever came here. Hearing Old Xu say Jiang Fan was decocting medicine in Anshi Hall, it had to be there.

Although she didn't know when Jiang Fan had last decocted medicine here, as long as she found even a little clue, she could prove he was a liar. Then she would see what Grandpa would say!

The password for the decoction room was a standard one. Even though Yu Baiwei basically never came to this traditional Chinese medicine decoction room, she still entered with ease.

As soon as she opened the door, her brows furrowed.

Although the room looked tidy, a strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine hit her nostrils.

That was the residue left by the decocting equipment, which couldn't be cleaned away.

From childhood to adulthood, she hated this smell the most.

The new technological agents nowadays were all colorless and odorless, exceptionally neat!

In comparison, she felt even more that this was a filthy place!

Yu Baiwei hesitated for a moment, then with a determined expression, she pinched her nose and began to inspect the equipment.

A few minutes later, after her inspection, her brows were tightly furrowed.

The equipment in the room was all clean, even cleaner than the pharmaceutical rooms she had used.

But... it shouldn't be like this!

Weren't traditional Chinese medicine practitioners supposed to be as slovenly as Old Xu?

Yu Baiwei was unwilling and checked the room again.

When she confirmed there were no problems again, she stood there, her expression uncertain!

Someone must have cleaned it up!

If that was the case, she would wait for next time and expose him on the spot!

Thinking this, Yu Baiwei didn't linger and prepared to go explain to Old Xu that if Jiang Fan came again, he should inform her in advance.

However, after taking just two steps, her gaze was suddenly drawn to a small glass bottle in the trash can on the table.

Her eyes lit up. She walked over, bent down to examine it, then took two paper towels from the table, doubled them up, and somewhat disdainfully wrapped the glass bottle.

This was the bottle Jiang Fan had used to hold the blood replenishing soup when he refined it for the second time, and he had forgotten to clean it up before leaving.

At this moment, after several days, most of the liquid in the bottle had dried up, but there was still some liquid residue at the bottom.

Yu Baiwei picked up the bottle and looked at it under the light.

Then, she took a sealed plastic bag from the side, carefully put the bottle inside, sealed it, and put it in her pocket.

After finishing everything, she went to the sink and washed her hands several times until she felt there was no smell left. Only then did she open the door and hurry away.

A few minutes later, Yu Baiwei appeared in the pharmaceutical research laboratory.

"Miss!"

As soon as she entered, several researchers in white lab coats greeted her.

Yu Baiwei nodded.

"Professor Xu, I have some residual medicinal agent here. Can you help me test it to see if it's toxic?"

Professor Xu was their chief professor at Anshi Hall, specializing in the research and development of new pharmaceutical agents!

Seeing Yu Baiwei's serious expression, he quickly put on gloves, took Yu Baiwei's bottle, and placed it on the counter of the pharmaceutical research laboratory.

Then, he arranged various equipment, carefully drew out a portion with a dropper, and added it to a new test tube.

Next, he added water to dilute it, then added various other reagents for testing...

More than ten minutes later, Professor Xu's expression became increasingly solemn.

Seeing this, Yu Baiwei's heart leaped with joy.

"Professor Xu, have the results come out? Is there any poison?"

Professor Xu's eyes lit up.

"Miss!"

"Where did this medicinal agent come from?"

"This medicinal agent is not only non-toxic, but I've also discovered immense energy within it!"

"Even though I've diluted it several times, the energy within this is almost comparable to our third-generation product!"

He spoke with increasing excitement.

"If we can get our hands on this prescription, our Anshi Hall's fourth-generation product will definitely surpass the other two..."

Yu Baiwei stared at the increasingly frenzied Professor Xu, stunned on the spot!
