Chapter 84: Get Down Here

***

Tang Ailian didn't bother with the middle-aged man and turned to Zhao Zixian with a big smile. "Zhao Shuji, I'm back!"

Zhao Zixian's eyes brightened when he saw Tang Ailian. "Have you found the Snake Yang Grass?"

Tang Ailian nodded. "Not only did I find it, but I also prepared the Revival Soup." She took out a large glass bottle from her backpack. "This is the Revival Soup. Just one drop can prevent the intrusion of Yin energy. Those who are already infected need to drink ten drops to be cured."

"Quick! Someone!" Zhao Zixian shouted, and a worker immediately came over. Zhao Zixian took the glass bottle and said, "Take this to the workers who have been affected by Yin energy. Ten drops each."

As the worker was about to take it, the middle-aged man intervened, "Hold on! Zhao Shuji, can this liquid really cure the Yin energy? Isn't she using the workers as guinea pigs?"

He shot a sharp, dagger-like look at Tang Ailian.

The strange illness caused by Yin energy entering the body was referred to as Yin Malady in the factory base.

If it were an ordinary person, the imposing aura of the middle-aged man alone might have left them breathless. However, who was Tang Ailian? She was a Transcendent expert and a witch doctor with a psychic power value of twelve thousand.

Tang Ailian was annoyed. "If you don't trust my medicine, you can choose not to use it. I haven't received your salary, and I'm not your employee. I don't need to follow your rules or take responsibility for your workers."

Zhao Zixian saw Jiang Chang, the factory director, confronting a four or five-year-old girl, and he couldn't help but smile wryly.

What impressed him even more was Tang Ailian. Even he sometimes felt a bit intimidated by Jiang Chang's imposing presence when he was fully exerting it. Yet, Tang Ailian, a four or five-year-old girl, effortlessly blocked Jiang Chang's full aura.

"Jiang Chang, most of our severe Yin Malady cases were cured by Miss Tang. Especially Zhao Lu, who was already on the brink of death, with all doctors pronouncing his death sentence, but she managed to pull him back from the brink of death. So, I believe the medicine she prepared should be fine," Zhao Zixian explained.

Jiang Chang retracted his imposing aura and asked Zhao Zixian, "But that was in the past. We can't assume that everything she does is correct just because of past successes. I'm only asking, has anyone used this medicine yet?"

Zhao Zixian hesitated for a moment. "She just finished making it. No one has used it yet."

Jiang Chang became furious. "You dare to give untested medicine to all the patients? Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"

Zhao Zixian was equally angry. "I will take responsibility!"

The two of them locked eyes, refusing to yield to each other.

In the end, Zhao Zixian conceded, "Fine, let's select the most severely affected patient first and see if it works before giving it to others."

"Understood!" The worker took the glass bottle and left.

Tang Ailian sneered and was about to return to her room. She wasn't worried that her medicine wouldn't work.

However, Zhao Zixian stopped her. "Miss Tang, you've worked hard searching for the medicine these past two months."

"Not hard at all. As long as I don't get scolded," Tang Ailian grumbled, not even looking at Jiang Chang, and quickly slipped away from his side. Jiang Chang tried to reach out and stop her but found that she slipped away like an eel, disappearing in no time.

"This girl doesn't respect anyone," Jiang Chang grumbled discontentedly.

Zhao Zixian, annoyed by Jiang Chang's attitude, said, "Jiang Chang, she's not our employee yet." He implied that Jiang Chang shouldn't treat her like one of his subordinates.

"What? She's not our employee? Then why is she staying here? Since she's staying here, why not recruit her as our employee?" Jiang Chang was a bit surprised.

"Well, she's still very young. Don't let her height fool you; she's a bit over four years old and not yet five."

"Even if she's younger, we have a special recruitment process for exceptional talents, don't we?" The factory could have a special recruitment process for outstanding talents.

Zhao Zixian smirked. "We'd like to, but she has to agree. Tang Ailian is a disciple of a hidden master, with extraordinary medical skills. So far, there hasn't been a patient she couldn't cure."

"Oh? That skilled?" Jiang Chang was somewhat surprised.

Zhao Zixian thought to himself, "She hasn't even officially started practicing medicine yet. Everyone she's treated has been cured. It's not wrong to say that there hasn't been a patient she couldn't cure."

Zhao Zixian replied, "Of course, she's a disciple of a hidden master. She rarely makes a move, but she was brought here (a mix of coaxing and deception) by Advisor Bai due to their close relationship. Right now, she's just our partner, treating those affected by the Yin Malady for us."

"How long has she been here? Why didn't I know?" Jiang Chang asked.

"She's only been here for a little over a month, mostly searching for herbs on the mountain or in the valleys. I heard she was looking for something called Snake Yang Grass to make a Revival Soup. It's said to be hard to find, but luckily, she seems to have found it and made the Revival Soup."

Zhao Zixian coughed. "But with your interference, you've driven her away."

Jiang Chang, displeased, muttered, "She's just a little girl; where did she learn such an attitude? If it were my subordinates—"

Finally losing his patience, Zhao Zixian interrupted him, "I've already said she's not your subordinate. I think highly of her, and the workers all like her. It's your high demands. She's only four or five years old; think about what you were doing at her age!"

With that, Zhao Zixian left the office.

After Zhao Zixian left, a man emerged from an inner room. This man was the same white-coated physician that Tang Ailian had met on her first visit.

Jiang Chang snorted, "Zhao Shuji is becoming more and more disrespectful towards me, probably because of Advisor Bai."

The man, known as the White Coat, replied, "The person I found should arrive today."

Tang Ailian went back to her room and took a long nap. She was truly exhausted. She slept until noon the next day, and she was awakened by someone shouting.

"Hey, you brat, get down here!"

Tang Ailian was a bit groggy. Who was this person calling her a brat? Where was she?

In the next moment, Tang Ailian practically jumped out of bed. Wait a minute, someone was cursing her as a brat through her window!
