Chapter 1045 - Invitation To Join The Apothecaries' Association

Huo Yao made eye contact with Wang and promptly knew what he wanted to ask. She said, "I can't tell you."

The moment Wang heard this, he looked disappointed. "Can't you tell me?"

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and shook her head. "Sorry. Why do you ask anyway?"

Wang sat in the chair weekly. Oh yes. Why did he want to know?

His master had already disappeared for years. How could his master possibly know this young woman?

Even if their technique was similar, it was probably pure coincidence.

Wang sighed as he pondered. He raised his hand, waved it, and said softly, "Nothing."

Huo Yao raised her brow.

Before long, Wang composed himself. He looked at Huo Yao and said, "The Apothecaries' Association is always interested in new talent. Would you like to join us?"

He could forget about taking her in as his disciple. Even though he was the chairman, she could run circles around him with her acupuncture skills. If he could convince her to join the association, she would be a key member.

Huo Yao shook her head. "Not interested."

Lin Shuwen cleared his throat when Huo Yao rejected the offer to join the Apothecaries' Association. He wanted to secretly remind her how hard it was to become a member there.

Moreover, she was joining the association at Chairman Wang's recommendation.

However, Wang was unsurprised by the rejection. He could tell that the girl did not like to get held back. After all, she was a true master, so she did not care about joining associations.

Still, she was a master of ancient prescriptions. Just this alone was incredibly enticing to Wang.

Wang contemplated briefly and said, "If you join the association, I can make you honorary deputy chairman. What do you say?"

Lin Shuwen quickly raised his head and glanced at Wang with his face filled with shock on hearing this.

The deputy chairman…

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. The deputy chairman did not sound half bad. However, was she the sort of person who cared about things like reputation?

"Sorry. I am busy studying, so I don't have time to help. Thank you for the offer."

Huo Yao did not care about making a name at all. People like her were rare and had a special glow.

Huo Yao felt impressed by herself.

Wang instantly said, "Don't worry about how much time you can contribute. An honorary deputy chairman does not have to show up at the association daily. The title doesn't come with any constraints. You just need to refine some S grade medication every month for the association."

Wang paused and continued. "You will have full access to the Chinese herbs at the association. Every month, you will also receive an allowance. Since you are just an honorary deputy chairman, you can't expect as much money as the actual deputy chairman, so we are talking about just $200 000 to $300 000."

$200 000 to $300 000… Did it sound like a meager sum?

Was she the only poor person around? Everyone kept acting as though money was not important.

Huo Yao looked at the ceiling before turning to look at Chairman Wang. "I reconsidered it. I think I can make some time for the association after all."

Wang was still trying to come up with more perks to induce Huo Yao to join the association when he was stunned to hear what she said. He quickly snapped out of his shock. Was she going to join the association?

"Are you joining us then?" asked Wang to be sure.

Huo Yao nodded. She could get a monthly allowance and free Chinese herbs. The association was clearly a charitable organization.

No normal human being would say no to the offer.

Wang slammed the table hurriedly. "Okay. In that case, the deputy chairman's ID needs to be prepared. Once it is ready, I will send it to you."

"Okay." Huo Yao paused before she added. "I might need some Chinese herbs very soon."

Before she could finish her sentence, Wang interrupted her. "No problem. I will send you my assistant's number. You can tell him what herbs you want."

Huo Yao did not know what to say.

They were such nice people.
