Chapter 9

All the apprentices stopped their work and rushed from all over the lobby to the North podium where sun Hecheng was located.

A pair of nervous and expectant eyes stared at the test paper in sun Hecheng's hand.

"These in my hand are the passing papers," Sun Hecheng said summarily. "The difficulty of this exam is still very high, and the passing rate is less than 10%. Next, I call the person whose name is to get the papers, and the others who fail will be taken by myself later."

The apprentices whose names were called suppressed their excitement and went on stage to take away the test papers.

"How many points did you get?"

"Only 65, just passed... What about you?"

"I'm only sixty-one..."

Zong Jie got the test paper with his name written on it, reconfirmed the bright red "76" on the test paper, and felt a burst of pride in his heart. Several people next to him came to congratulate him.

"Awesome, boss. You can take so many tests on such a difficult paper."

"We scum can only look up."

"Boss, this score should be the first."

Zongjie couldn't close his mouth with a smile and said repeatedly, "depending on the situation, there may be higher ones."

With fewer and fewer papers in sun Hecheng's hands, the apprentices who were not called by name became more and more nervous. Finally, the last test paper in sun Hecheng's hand was sent out, and a sigh sounded in the lobby.

Zongjie glanced at Bai Xiaowen and confirmed that the other party didn't get the test paper. He was very proud in his heart. Looking at the still calm expression on Bai Xiaowen's face, he hummed to himself: see when you can pretend.

Zongjie raised his voice and said to sun Hecheng on the stage, "Master Sun, which three are in the interview? Can you tell me?"

Everyone pricked their ears.

Sun Hecheng pondered for a few seconds, waved his hand and said, "not three, only one."

"What, only one person entered the interview?" a group of apprentices were confused.

Sun Hecheng explained, "the difference between the top three in this exam is too wide. I don't think it's necessary to enter the interview according to the ratio of three to one. There's no suspense about being the first in the written exam. You can be promoted to an assistant without wasting time."

Zongjie jumped with excitement. Just learned the scores of others, no one is higher than himself.

However, Zongjie still had to borrow sun Hecheng's mouth to confirm. He then asked, "Master Sun, who is the first? How many points?"

Sun Hecheng glanced at Zongjie. Of course, he could see the expectation on Zongjie's face. He nodded and said with a smile, "your name is Zongjie, right? You got 76 points in the exam, which is very good. If you make persistent efforts in the future, you will have a better chance."

"What does this... Mean?" Zong Jie was forced. From sun Hecheng's words, he seemed to hear a trace of bad meaning.

Facing the crowd, sun Hecheng announced: "the first place in the written test is Bai Xiaowen, and the score is 100 out of 100..." he said with some emotion, "the paper made by Bai Xiaowen can already be used as the standard answer. Even I can't do better..."

Sun Hecheng paused, gave everyone time to be surprised and accept, and then continued: "I left Bai Xiaowen's test paper on the podium. You can compare it and see your shortcomings. Bai Xiaowen, come with me."

The hall burst into flames.

In the messy discussion, Zongjie's face turned white and his brain seemed to be in a crash state. There was only one sentence hovering in his brain: Bai Xiaowen got full marks, Bai Xiaowen got full marks

"It's 24 points more than me..." Zongjie muttered to himself.

Bai Xiaowen glanced at Zongjie: "do you think the gap between you and me is only 24 points?"

"You..." Zong Jie stared and retorted, "can't you count?"

"Ha ha..." Bai Xiaowen smiled and said a classic Xueba line: "remember, you scored 76 because your ability is only 76. I scored 100 because the total number of papers is only 100!"

Bai Xiaowen got up and followed sun Hecheng to the exclusive pharmaceutical room. As the door of the pharmaceutical room closed, a group of apprentices, especially those in Zongjie's small group, felt disappointed. A door separates two classes.

In the pharmaceutical room.

"Bai Xiaowen, you've done very well during this time. Yesterday, the store manager praised you that you can calm down and endure. You're a material for doing things." Sun Hecheng smiled and motioned Bai Xiaowen to sit down.

For the "Jianghu struggle" in the lobby of the pharmaceutical department, the store manager and the high-level pharmaceutical store such as sun Hecheng seem to be indifferent, but they are actually clear. However, this is also a normal workplace ecosystem. Which newcomer is not bullied?

The old store manager and sun Hecheng thought that when they were in the third year of senior high school, Bai Xiaowen, who was young and energetic, would have an attack and conflict with Zongjie and other old apprentices. Facts have proved that their concerns are superfluous. Bai Xiaowen's performance is beyond their expectation, which also makes them think highly of Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen showed a shy smile, just like the normal green high school students who were praised by their predecessors. He secretly despised a sentence in his heart. It's shameful to sell Meng.

"I have a question," Sun Hecheng said. "You have only been in the pharmaceutical department for a week. You haven't seen the last five herbs, let alone actually dealt with them. How did you do it?"

Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and didn't say what he had learned about the whole pharmacy in a week. After all, this kind of thing is a bit shocking.

"When I was a child, my father taught me some fundamentals of pharmacy, and I taught myself the rest." Bai Xiaowen lied.

Sun Hecheng said with a smile, "it's family origin. What's your father's name and where he works now?" he thought he met his peers in the pharmaceutical industry.

"Bai Yuantang has been missing for many years." Bai Xiaowen is telling the truth this time.

Sun Hecheng is awed. In his heart, he has outlined the image of a strong young man who has suffered great changes but has been constantly striving for self-improvement.

"What a pity..." Sun Hecheng sighed, and then the topic returned to the right track. "No wonder you can recognize the stone skin potion and the stone statue ghost power potion, and see through fan Jianwei's means. It turned out to have such a good foundation."

"Thank you, Master Sun. Did I pass?" Bai Xiaowen asked. He was still a little nervous. After all, his situation was different from that of most apprentices.

Sun Hecheng thought for a moment and said, "your situation is quite special. You are a high school student. You are not an adult and can't sign a contract. Moreover, you can't guarantee the working hours from nine to five. Frankly, it's not very appropriate to accept you as an assistant."

Fortunately, sun Hecheng didn't close the door. He continued: "however, your written test results are really very good. It's rare for an assistant with solid foundation and calm mind... So I'll give you a chance to try."

Bai Xiaowen nodded, "Master Sun, please speak."

"Every day when you come over from school, I will give you the list of medicines to be prepared the next day. You can handle the herbs for me in advance," Sun Hecheng said seriously. "This is an assistant's workload for a whole day under normal circumstances. You must finish it that night. If you can't do it, I can only change people."

"No problem." Bai Xiaowen agreed without hesitation. If you can't finish your part-time job within 4 hours, then continue to work overtime. Bai Xiaowen won't give up this opportunity.

"In addition, I will prepare some complex medicines at night. Sometimes I need you to deliver the herbs. This will take up extra time for you to deal with the herbs. You should be prepared," Sun Hecheng reminded.

"Thank you, Master Sun. I will do it." Bai Xiaowen was grateful. Sun Hecheng took care of him and adjusted his work arrangement.

The difficulty of preparing medicaments is different. Sun Hecheng can complete some simple medicaments alone without the help of an assistant. However, some medicines with very strict requirements on heat and timing are not good. Pharmacists need to keep an eye on the reaction of the liquid medicine, which is often delayed by 0.5 seconds, which will lead to failure!

The preparation of complex drugs is more accurate than precision surgery. Of course, assistants are needed to deliver medicinal materials and tools. Sun Hecheng prepared simple potions during the day and complex potions at night. Of course, he was taking care of Bai Xiaowen's schoolwork.

For Bai Xiaowen's thanks, sun Hecheng just smiled and waved, "it's getting late. You go back today and work will officially start tomorrow."

Bai Xiaowen came out of the preparation room. Although the apprentices in the lobby didn't come together because of face, their eyes at Bai Xiaowen changed a lot, and many people were convinced.

They have all seen Bai Xiaowen's full score paper and can't refuse it.

Zongjie shrunk his neck and hid far away. The members of several small groups around him were busy and no longer surrounded Zongjie.

The people are scattered. It's hard to take the team.

Zongjie was sad. He was afraid that Bai Xiaowen would mention the bet. He could only hide behind the medicine cabinet and hoped that Bai Xiaowen would not find himself.

Bai Xiaowen glanced and went straight over: "Zongjie, clean up all the medicine cabinets here."

Looking at the thousands of squares, Zongjie felt dizzy: "you..."

"What? Do you want to clean up the medicine cabinet or quit?" Bai Xiaowen said faintly, "go and do something, or I'll change my mind."

Everyone looked at them in amazement.

As a newcomer, only a high school student, Bai Xiaowen actually yelled at Zongjie, an old apprentice who graduated from college. Even if Bai Xiaowen was promoted to an assistant, it was unreasonable.

With Zongjie's temper, the two are sure to have a conflict. There's a good play to watch.

Who ever thought that Zongjie shrunk his head and bypassed Bai Xiaowen, and really cleaned up the medicine cabinet.

Everyone was surprised.

The matter of Zongjie and Bai Xiaowen's bet was quietly spread among the crowd, and the apprentices were suddenly surprised.

After Bai Xiaowen left the preparation room, sun Hecheng made a phone call.

"Hello, miss."

"Yes, the exam is over. Bai Xiaowen came first."

"Yes, I'm surprised, too. I've agreed to him as my assistant."

"Well, you don't have to thank me, miss. He is very talented and hard enough. Even if the Miss doesn't speak, I will take care of one or two appropriately."

Sun Hecheng paused for a few seconds and finally said with concern: "Miss, when you go to the spirit world to accept the test, you must be careful and be fully prepared before you start. Miss Zhang and I are looking forward to your return as an awakener."
