Chapter 129: Unqualified Medicinal Materials
An Yan was going to find Xiaohua. She was planning to move in the next two days, so she wanted to give the key to Xiaohua first so that she could move in.
Xiaohua was waiting for her at the designated coffee shop. When she saw her coming, she waved at her and said, "I ordered apple juice for you. Do you like it?"
"I'm fine with it. I'll give you the key." An Yan said as she handed her the key.
"Okay, I'll go over and clean the place in the next two days." Xiaohua nodded.
An Yan felt that Xiaohua was a little different today. She looked her up and down and asked, "Are you wearing makeup?"
"Someone in the company taught me. I didn't put on much makeup. I just put on lipstick. Is that okay?" Xiaohua asked.
In fact, she has a very distinctive appearance. She is a classic beauty. Her facial features are not delicate or three-dimensional, but she is comfortable to look at, pure and clear, like a rainbow after the rain, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
Although An Yan didn't pay attention to the film and television industry, she knew who the popular male and female stars were. She almost blurted out, "I feel that you are more beautiful than those stars."
"How could that be?" Xiaohua looked incredulous, her cheeks immediately flushed, and she looked embarrassed.
"It's true. I'm not lying to you." An Yan said to her with a smile.
Xiaohua lowered her eyes and said, "I'm a country boy, I don't dare to think too much, now I just want to work hard."
"Yeah." An Yan nodded.
At this moment, her cell phone rang. It was Yan Qingqiu calling. He said, "Hey, I saw you drinking water. I want to come over too, okay?"
"What are you doing here?" An Yan sneered.
"Li Rongsen treated me like that, shouldn't he have thought about compensating me? I'm so pitiful." Yan Qingqiu looked aggrieved and added, "A glass of water doesn't cost much, yet you have to be so stingy with me."
It turned out that he had no money. An Yan finally understood what he meant and said, "Okay, come in."
An Yan was not thirsty at the time, so she hadn't drunk the glass of water yet. When she saw Yan Qingqiu come in, she handed it to him and said, "Here, this glass of water is for you, drink it."
"I'm almost dying of thirst, my throat is about to smoke." Yan Qingqiu didn't hesitate to drink in big gulps and smiled at Xiaohua again.
Xiaohua lowered her head shyly, thinking that this man was really handsome, even more handsome than the first time she saw him.
An Yan said, "Yan Qingqiu, I suspected you were following me. How could this be such a coincidence?"
"I was looking for something to do, and I saw you at first sight. I was so happy." Yan Qingqiu drank the glass of water in one breath.
Xiaohua said, "I'll ask the waiter to bring two more cups."
"Okay, okay, I haven't had enough to drink yet." Yan Qingqiu was very satisfied with her suggestion.
An Yan gestured for Xiaohua to sit down. She went over and bought two more glasses of water and some snacks, and asked the waiter to bring them over.
Yan Qingqiu was even happier and said, "Hey, Master Hua's apprentice is different. He's really generous."
"Aren't you supposed to help Li Rongsen? Why are you running out to find something to do on your own?"
"I can't do what he's doing. I have to learn the skills all over again, and I don't want to waste my brain on it." Yan Qingqiu replied.
"You are just used to being idle and can't stand any hardship." How could An Yan not know this man's habits? He was simply making excuses.
Yan Qingqiu said, "After thinking about it, if there really is such a thing as being able to make money just by singing a song, it's actually not bad."
An Yan didn't talk much with him.
Xiaohua interrupted and said, "That's the singer."
"Yes, that's the right word. I think it's quite relaxing." Yan Qingqiu nodded.
"You've been so free these past two days, why don't you go help Xiaohua clean?" An Yan thought this was a good idea. He didn't do any serious work every day anyway, and he needed money. She took out a card and handed it to him, saying, "Here, here's some pocket money. It'll be your cleaning salary, okay?"
"Okay, it's just cleaning." Yan Qingqiu put the card in his pocket very rudely, then looked at Xiaohua and said, "You can find me anytime, I'm always there."
Xiaohua nodded and said, "Okay, let's wait until this weekend. I'll call you and we can clean together."
"No problem." Yan Qingqiu nodded.
An Yan looked at her watch and said, "I have to go first. I'm going to Wancaotang." Then she asked Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, how about you? Do you want to come with me?"
"I'll sit for a while. It's rush hour and the road is difficult to walk on." Xiaohua explained to her.
"Okay, then go home and be careful." An Yan said and went to Wancaotang first.
Rong Qian is at Wancaotang. She is painting in Anyan's office all day long and helping Li Rongsen deal with some company matters.
When she saw An Yan come in, she asked, "Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water." As she spoke, she was about to put down the paintbrush in her hand.
"No, I'm not thirsty. You go ahead and do your thing." An Yan motioned for her to continue, then made a pot of rose tea and went to prepare the herbs she needed, only to find the drawer was empty.
Seeing that she was about to leave again, Rong Qian asked, "Why are you leaving right after you got here? Where are you going?"
"I'll go ask Nissen if there are any new medicinal herbs today." An Yan said as she went to Li Rongsen's office and found that his office door was closed. However, there was a noise in the conference room next to it, as if two groups of people were talking about something.
Nissen seemed almost overwhelmed. He said, "All of you, be quiet. We have standards for collecting medicinal herbs. We cannot accept unqualified herbs. This is the rule."
"Why can't we accept them? Our herbs are the same as others. We dry them in the same way and weigh them in the same way. There can't be any difference at all. You say you don't want to accept them, so then you don't have to. Where is the standard?" One of the young men was very dissatisfied and his cheeks were puffed with anger.
Nissen said, "Boss Li said it's not acceptable."
"Where is Mr. Li? We need to ask him in person."
"What happened?" An Yan asked.
At this time, the people in the conference room quieted down. Nissen said to Anyan, "Their medicinal materials are not up to standard. I gave some to President Li Rong before, but he said it was not acceptable."
"You don't even tell us what's wrong, so we can't tell what's wrong anyway." The young man was a little exasperated.
An Yan said: "You just have to have an explanation."
"Of course we worked so hard to grow these herbs, and we got up early and worked hard to dry them. How can we just throw them away? Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?" The young man was naturally unconvinced.
An Yan picked up their herbs, looked at them carefully, smelled them, and then said, "You guys are simply cutting corners."
Nissen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that things would be easier with An Yan's presence. She was familiar with medicinal herbs and was proficient in medical skills, so she would definitely be able to resolve this troublesome matter.
An Yan said, "You wait here, I'll go get the herbs I'm using now to compare with you." Then she went back to her office to get the herbs.
Rong Qian asked him, "I thought I heard someone arguing outside just now. What are they arguing about? Did something big happen? Should I go over and take a look?"
"No, it's not a big deal. It's just something about medicinal herbs. I'll take care of it. You can just paint your picture." An Yan signaled her not to worry, then took the medicinal herbs and left, returning to the meeting room.
