"Director Zhao, I swear, what I dug up is indeed Wild Ginseng!" I quickly explained.
"Then how did Wild Ginseng turn into a carrot?" Director Zhao was furious.
"I... I don't know either." I shook my head with a bitter smile.
"You don't know?"
Lin Guo stepped out from the crowd, looking at me with a cold smile: "Of course you don't know, because you are just trying to buy time on purpose!"
"Lin Guo, don't slander me!" I was angry.
"Slander? Heh."
Lin Guo turned to Director Zhao: "Director Zhao, the reason Lin Yang is stalling is that he wants to prevent the upcoming medical competition!"
"Medical competition?"
Director Zhao was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"Director Zhao, you might not know yet," Lin Guo pointed at me, "Lin Yang and I are both nephews of Lin Zhentian, the owner of Zhen Tian Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic!"
"What?"
The crowd was in shock, discussing among themselves.
"He's related to Boss Lin?"
"No wonder he got into our clinic right after graduation."
"But why is he stalling for time?"
"You don't understand, do you? It's said that Boss Lin has no children. Whoever inherits the clinic will be Boss Lin's heir!"
"I get what Lin Guo meant. Lin Yang is deliberately stalling to lose to Lin Guo in the competition!"
"Exactly, after all, only the winner of the competition can be Boss Lin's heir!"
Listening to the discussions, Director Zhao looked at me coldly: "Lin Yang, Zhang Tao is the one you were responsible for contacting, right?"
I nodded.
Director Zhao took out his phone, dialed Zhang Tao's number, and put it on speaker.
"Director Zhao, is there something you need from me?" came Zhang Tao's voice from the other end of the line.
"Zhang Tao, the Wild Ginseng that Lin Yang brought back has been swapped. You know about this, right?" Director Zhao's tone was icy.
"Swapped? That can't be true!" Zhang Tao sounded surprised.
"Hmph! Lin Yang said that on his way to Changling Town, he handed the medicine package to you and asked you to deliver it to Old Cao's house. Is that true?"
Director Zhao snorted coldly.
"Yes, that's true," Zhang Tao admitted.
"Then explain why the Wild Ginseng in the package turned into a carrot?" Director Zhao questioned.
"Director Zhao, I don't know! I didn't notice any problem when I handed it over!" Zhang Tao explained.
"No problem? Then why is Lin Yang insisting that you swapped the Wild Ginseng for a carrot?" Director Zhao pressed further.
"Director Zhao, I really didn't! If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage," Zhang Tao said.
"Check the surveillance footage?"
Director Zhao hung up the phone, his face dark with anger. "Lin Yang, do you have anything else to say?"
"Director Zhao, I..."
I wanted to cry but had no tears; I never expected that Zhang Tao had deleted the footage in advance.
"Director Zhao, do you believe I can cure Old Cao's illness?" I took a deep breath.
"You? Cure late-stage gastric cancer?" Director Zhao looked at me in disbelief.
"What are you joking about?" Lin Guo scoffed, "Do you know your own worth?"
"Director Zhao, I have a family secret recipe," I said seriously.
"A family secret recipe?" Director Zhao was taken aback for a moment.
"Yes, it's a recipe that can cure all diseases," I nodded.
"Hmph! You're just dreaming!" Lin Guo said with disdain.
"Lin Yang, come with me!" Director Zhao glanced at me and turned to enter the office.
I followed Director Zhao into the office.
I took out paper and pen, wrote down the family secret recipe, and handed it to Director Zhao.
After reading it, Director Zhao looked shocked: "This formula is quite cleverly combined."
"Director Zhao, let me prepare the medicine!" I volunteered eagerly.
"No need, I'll do it myself!" Director Zhao shook his head.
