Chapter 36: Antidote

However, she could not fool Ning Chen. She had to come up with a perfect, thorough, and convincing reason to trick him.

She had been really careless today, but at least it was Ah Bi who tagged along. If the person following her had been Sister Yu, the housekeeper would definitely have been able to suspect that something was amiss.

She was too excited and had not appeared to be as ‘silly’ as before. This has to serve as a warning!

Qin Yu sighed heavily in her heart. She took her backpack, fished out her tablet, and sent out a message using her game as a cover. She could not let her comrades wait for her forever.

This was the first time in the history of Glory World that they had the opportunity to meet, but it had failed, the reason being she had pretended to be dumb for too long. It seemed that she was really starting to be stupid.

Sigh!

Fortunately, she had gotten the doctor’s medicine today. At least her efforts had not completely been in vain.

Under Sister Yu and the others’ smiling, ‘understanding’ gazes, she ran back to her room, impatiently opening the small box the doctor had left for her.

Inside, there were four strings with a silver, openwork ball attached to each strand.

A strange fragrance wafted over, and she could not help but sneeze as it was too strong.

She rubbed her nose and opened the piece of paper in the box. It was a message from the doctor.

Tsk!

His handwriting was really beautiful!

The swift, bold strokes of his calligraphy represented his splendid penmanship.

“Little girl, the medicine is in the silver balls. It’s just a kind of sleeping aid, and it’ll start making people sleepy in about ten minutes. It doesn’t do any harm to the human body, but it doesn’t distinguish between men and women, it’s the same for everyone. Whoever smells it will sleep!

“There’s a knob at the bottom of the small balls. If you twist it clockwise, the hollow sections will close and the medicinal scent won’t seep out. It’s suitable for daytime too, so you should adjust it according to the situation.

“I’ve left the antidote at the bottom of the box and I’ve made it into hard candy for you. Remember, you owe me another favor!

“If this continues, you won’t be able to keep your shares in Glory World!

“I’m curious about what you’re doing. Don’t underestimate a man’s nature at any time. Don’t put yourself in danger. We’re all in M City, so no matter what your current situation is, we have the ability to rescue you!

“I’ll be waiting for your reply!”

“Achoo!” Qin Yu sneezed again helplessly.

She rubbed her itchy nose and tears leaked from her eyes. This smell was really intense, and it seemed like she was a little allergic to it, given her reaction.

Qin Yu sniffed and reached out toward the antidote.

Even the packaging was printed as fruit candies. This disguise was really good!

Qin Yu gave the doctor a thumbs up in her heart for being so attentive to the details.

After taking it, the symptoms of the allergy reduced.

The antidote was very yummy indeed, with a sweet and sour fruit candy flavor.

She gave the doctor another thumbs up of approval in her heart again!

The ornaments were made exquisitely. They was crafted with Chinese filigree of different sizes running from the top to the bottom. Silver-white tassels hung from the bottom as well.

Qin Yu held one and twisted its knob. Sure enough, the surface of the openwork closed and the ball in her hand became smooth, without a single gap.

Meticulous!

The skill of brother Doctor could be considered to be on par with the designer of the Yun Ni Club’s building! They were a perfect match!

Qin Yu hid the other three balls well and hung one at the corner of the bed. It was a perfect decoration.

After tidying up, she turned on her tablet, and the chat box she found looked like it was about to explode.

Qin Yu sighed.

As long as Dong Lai, Xi Wang, Nan Yuan and Bei Chi worked together to go against others, no one would be able to withstand their attacks. Anyway, she was willing to admit defeat.

There was no other way except to surrender and to apologize to them.

When the four of them were finally satisfied with their tantrums, they sent her the minutes of the day’s meeting along with the agreement contract.

Then she asked, “Is Guan Yue a doctor or a hunter?”

The four of them did not answer, and she thought that they were taken aback by her question. They were slowly getting on her nerves, though.

After a long time, Nan Yuan asked, “Boss, how do you know about Guan Yue?”

Qin Yu did not answer but instead returned the question, “What about you guys?”Nan Yuan sent a shocked expression.

“We only knew that Guan Yue was our partner the moment he came in. Our eyes almost fell to the ground.”

“What about the doctor? Why didn’t he come?” Qin Yu wanted to know who that person was.

The four of her comrades went silent.

Qin Yu sent a question mark.

Xi Wang sent an emoji that was clearing its throat.

“Actually, Brother Doctor didn’t come today.”

Qin Yu stood up immediately and sent a furious chat sticker.

“Give me back my apology! There were obviously two people who were supposed to come but were absent. Why did you guys only have to pick on me instead of the other party?

Then, she sent along a fierce emoji.

Were they still even good friends?

She was originally worried that she would be the only one who didn’t go and the remaining five of them would settle the deal, but it turned out that the meeting was missing two people.

However, this was fair. Glory World was lacking one member, and the same went for Tian Kun.

Both of the companies’ cooperation agreements had been signed as planned. In the future, Glory World and Tian Kun would be like a family, and they would be able to do great business together.
