Chapter 4

"Super Godly Potion?"

Bai Xiaowen found the location of the potion shop according to the address Li Shuyi provided. Bai Xiaowen was stunned for a second when he saw the majestic building under the huge gilded signboard.

It was too grand!

The shop called Super Godly Potion was located in a prime location at the crossroads. The steps were spotless and there were two guards with poker faces on both sides of the majestic door. They stood straight and gave off a fierce aura.

One could see the level of the Super Godly Potion shop just from the two fierce guards. This was definitely not an ordinary shop as Li Shuyi had said. It was a large potion shop, similar to the top jewelry shop in another time and space.

Bai Xiaowen walked up the steps to the door. Although they were suspicious of his unbuttoned shirt and worn-out jeans, the two guards did not stop Bai Xiaowen from entering. Their job was to deal with thieves and troublemakers, not to check the purchasing power of every customer.

The spacious hall was dazzling. Tubes of liquid medicine of different colors were displayed behind the transparent display window. Under the light, they reflected a magnificent and intoxicating glow.

"It looks like the layout of a large jewelry mall. However, the price of medicine is much higher than normal jewelry. It's not strange for it to be so grand. "Bai Xiaowen browsed through the display window as he walked.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

The saleswoman standing behind the display window asked politely. To be able to work as a salesperson in a shop of this level, she must have undergone strict training. There was no such thing as judging a book by its cover and mocking a customer who was wearing street goods.

"I'm here to apply for a part-time job. This is my student ID." Bai Xiaowen handed over his ID.

The saleswoman took the ID and could not help but look at Bai Xiaowen a few more times. "Manager Fan is in charge of the daily affairs of the shop. I'll take you to his office."

Bai Xiaowen thanked her profusely. He noticed the name tag on the saleswoman's chest. Her name was Xu Ling. Of course, it was because of Bai Xiaowen's good looks that she took the initiative to lead the way. Sometimes, a handsome face was the best way to knock on the door.

Director Fan's name was Fan Jianwei. He was a young man in his twenties. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked refined. After knowing the purpose of Bai Xiaowen's visit, he frowned slightly and gestured for Bai Xiaowen to sit down.

"You're a senior in high school? What are their specialties? " Fan Jianwei stroked his chin with his finger. "The jobs in our Super Godly Pharmacy all require people with skills."

"I can identify medicinal herbs, so I should be able to do the purchasing work." Bai Xiaowen did not immediately say that he had been introduced by Li Shuyi. He wanted to know if he could get a job opportunity based on his ability. With his Clear Vision Talent, identifying medicinal herbs was naturally a piece of cake.

"Hehe, identifying medicinal herbs …" A mocking look flashed across Fan Jianwei's eyes. He shook his head and laughed, "Xiao Bai, I also graduated from Crimson Fire High School. Since you're my junior, I'll give you a piece of advice. You can't just randomly say the words' identifying medicinal herbs'. I've studied the botany department at Jinghai University for four years, but I don't dare to say that I have a 100% accuracy rate in identifying basic medicinal herbs. A basic medicinal herb costs a few thousand yuan. If you make a mistake, who's going to pay for the loss of the shop? Your part-time salary won't be enough to pay for it. So, you can forget about the purchasing work. "

Seeing that Bai Xiaowen was about to speak, Fan Jianwei raised his hand to stop him and continued, "However, you're my junior. It's fate that you came to me, so I'll help you. Here are two potion certificates. Fill in the price tag and I'll see how your handwriting is. "

While speaking, Fan Jianwei took out a safe from the small cabinet on the left and entered the password to open it.

After opening the safe, it was divided into two layers. There was a bottle of medicine and a piece of A4 paper in each layer. That was the potion identification certificate.

The two bottles of medicine were light black and crystal clear, like crystals.

Fan Jianwei handed Bai Xiaowen two soft cards and a black pen. "Come, look at the potion identification certificate. Copy the name and price of the potion on the label and paste it on. If your handwriting is okay, I'll make the decision to keep you as a clerk. "

Bai Xiaowen took the pen and glanced at the two potion identification certificates. With his super brain, he could understand the contents of the two certificates with just a glance.

"The upper layer is the Stone Skin Potion, and the lower layer is the Gargoyle's Strength Potion. Oh, the price difference between the two is so big! "Bai Xiaowen took the price tag and copied it down. His handwriting was passable.

Soon, Bai Xiaowen filled in the price tag. After tearing off a layer of film behind the label, he stuck the label on the outer wall of the potion bottle.

The back of the label was coated with a special super glue, which was usually covered with a film. Once the film was torn off and the label was stuck on the potion bottle, it would be difficult to tear it off.

"Hmm, your handwriting is not bad." The smile on Fan Jianwei's face became warmer. He handed Bai Xiaowen an empty suitcase. "Take these two potions and the identification certificate to the sales hall and give them to Xu Ling. Then come back and talk to me about your job … Hmm? What's wrong with you? Why are you just standing there? "

Bai Xiaowen stared at the two potions, then looked at the name of the potion on the label. Finally, he looked at the huge difference in price.

Stone Skin Potion was 98,000 yuan, while Gargoyle's Strength Potion was 1.28 million yuan.

But! Under Bai Xiaowen's Insightful Insight, a bottle of potion labeled "Stone Skin Potion" displayed the following information:

Strengthening Potion: Gargoyle's Strength

Grade: Stage 1, Level 7

Purity: 82% (Excellent)

Ingredients: Heather Grass 5.96%, Magic Moss 4.26%, Full Moon Leaf 2.41%, Blood Fang Bat Wing Bone Powder 3.47% Effect: Permanent increase of 3 points of strength.

The next potion labeled "Gargoyle's Strength Potion" showed the following information:

Stone Skin Potion

Grade: Stage 1, Level 2

Purity: 78% (Good)

Ingredients: Stone Root Grass 7.42%, Dead Leaf Grass 3.81%, Green Radish Flower Powder 5.79% Effect: Make the skin as hard as a rock, increase defense by 10 points, reduce bleeding effect by 66.7% for 120 seconds.

Bai Xiaowen's expression was a little strange. The labels of the two potions were actually reversed!

Bai Xiaowen had definitely copied every stroke of the appraisal document. This meant that there was a problem with the appraisal document that Fan Jianwei had given him. The two documents had been deliberately swapped!

The labels were filled out by Bai Xiaowen. If there was a problem, Bai Xiaowen would definitely be in deep trouble.

Why would Fan Jianwei swap the appraisal document? Bai Xiaowen's mind was spinning very fast. Several hypotheses came up in an instant, and in the end, he eliminated them one by one. There were only four words left — profiteering!

The Gargoyle's Strength Potion, originally priced at 1.28 million yuan, was being sold as Stone Skin Potion for 98,000 yuan. Bai Xiaowen was almost certain that once the potion was put on the shelves, it would quickly be bought by Fan Jianwei's accomplices.

Why would Fan Jianwei let Bai Xiaowen fill in the price tag? The reason was very simple. Bai Xiaowen was a temporary worker and had no roots. If there was a problem with the store, Fan Jianwei would directly push Bai Xiaowen out to take the blame. Losses of more than a million yuan would be blamed on Bai Xiaowen. His assets would definitely be confiscated, and there was even a possibility of him going to jail.

After figuring out the cause and effect, it was time to think about how to break out of this situation.

Expose Fan Jianwei's tricks in front of him? This was the stupidest choice. There were only the two of them in Fan Jianwei's office. Bai Xiaowen had no strong evidence to prove that Fan Jianwei had swapped the appraisal document. Fan Jianwei could instead blame Bai Xiaowen and accuse him of putting the wrong labels. One was an experienced manager who graduated from a key university, and the other was a newcomer who was only in his third year of high school. It was obvious who the manager would believe.

"Junior Xiao Bai, why are you in a daze? You've been standing there for a long time, "Fan Jianwei said with a smile.

Bai Xiaowen looked up at Fan Jianwei. If it wasn't for his Insight, he really wouldn't have thought that this seemingly friendly senior actually had evil intentions and wanted to use him as a scapegoat. In an instant, Bai Xiaowen had a bold idea.

Bai Xiaowen put his hands in his pockets and held his phone. He smiled and said, "Manager, these two bottles of medicine are too similar. Do you want to confirm it again? It wouldn't be good if there was a mistake. "

Fan Jianwei's expression was a little unnatural. After pausing for a second, he resumed his smile. "Junior Xiao Bai, you're being too careful. Since it's the same label as the appraisal document, there's definitely no problem. Don't worry, I watched you put the label on the whole time. There's no mistake. "

Bai Xiaowen sighed in his heart. Since you're so stubborn, don't blame me. He actually gave Fan Jianwei a chance. He vaguely mentioned the possibility of the medicine being swapped. If Fan Jianwei felt guilty, he could just take back the medicine, re-appraise it, and fill in the label.

However, Fan Jianwei was very bold. He didn't even consider the possibility that Bai Xiaowen could identify the two bottles of medicine. Of course, it was understandable that Fan Jianwei looked down on Bai Xiaowen. After all, Bai Xiaowen was just a high school student. He probably couldn't even recognize a few basic herbs. How could he recognize a high-end advanced medicine?

"Then I'll take it." Bai Xiaowen put the two bottles of medicine and the appraisal document into his briefcase and left Fan Jianwei's office.

After leaving Fan Jianwei's line of sight, Bai Xiaowen didn't go to the sales hall. Instead, he walked through the internal staff passage and went straight into the depths of the pharmacy.

At the end of the passage was a metal door with the words "Pharmaceutical Restricted Area, Unauthorized Persons Not Allowed to Enter."

Bai Xiaowen pursed his lips. It was precisely because it was a restricted area that he could see the important people of the pharmacy. He walked all the way and directly pushed open the metal door to enter the backyard.

"What are you doing?"

Before Bai Xiaowen could see the layout of the backyard clearly, two guards strode over and stopped Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen said calmly, "I'm a new employee. There's a mistake with two bottles of medicine. Manager Fan asked me to look for the store manager."

The guards looked at Bai Xiaowen with obvious suspicion on their faces. Bai Xiaowen quickly opened his briefcase. The two bottles of medicine and the appraisal document were revealed.
