Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1986: Chapter 1986: Now That’s a Talent!

”Haha, sir, don’t laugh at me. Ever since you appeared on this street, I’ve noticed you. You came straight to our Legendary Elixir Shop, so I was sure you were one of our customers.”

The young man chuckled lightly twice and sincerely said, ”As for what business you might have here, that’s even easier to guess. Anyone coming to our Legendary Elixir Shop is here either to buy or sell Pills or to find someone from our shop.”

”Exactly, exactly.”

Ye Haochuan listened to the young man’s words appreciatively, nodding with silent admiration.

”Since your arrival, your gaze hasn’t lingered on our shop’s staff, so you must be here to trade Pills. I noticed you looked over all the Pills without showing any desire, so I boldly guess you’re here to sell Pills. Haha, it’s just my wild guess. If I’m wrong, please forgive me.”

The young man, though, did not stop, continuing his pleasant conversation with Ye Haochuan. Finally, he signaled to someone in the shop to bring a glass of water over.

”Wow, this guy is really talented. How sharp his mind is.”

Ye Haochuan was taken aback by the young man’s series of analyses, but he couldn’t help admiring the guy’s clever mind.

”Sir, please have some water.”

At this moment, a woman brought a glass of water. The young man nodded to her in gratitude, then took the glass with both hands and handed it to Ye Haochuan with a smile, ”You haven’t told me whether my guess is correct.”

”Correct, absolutely correct.”

Ye Haochuan took the glass and smiled, ”I have a batch of Pills here that I want to sell. How do you usually acquire Pills here?”

”Haha, sir, please step inside to discuss this further.”

The young man looked around briefly and gestured toward the inside of the shop.

”Understood, you lead the way.”

Ye Haochuan recognized from the young man’s manner that these sorts of matters fall under commercial secrets and require discretion.

The young man promptly led Ye Haochuan inside, inquiring about the type and grade of Pills Haochuan intended to sell as they walked.

”Hmm, what’s up?”

Ye Haochuan considered selling the majority of his Pills, keeping some for personal use. As they reached the entrance to the inner chamber, Ye Haochuan noticed the young man stopped in his tracks.

”Sir, I have no right to enter the inner chamber. I’m just a mere receptionist at this Pill Shop, so...”

A flicker of discontent, helplessness, and profound sadness crossed the young man’s eyes, but he quickly repressed it all.

”Damn, such a talented guy is only a receptionist?”

Ye Haochuan almost dropped his jaw at the young man’s words. Is the Legendary Chamber of Commerce overflowing with talent, or do they simply undervalue their talents?

”Sir, please proceed inside. Someone will attend to you.” The young man opened the door respectfully for Ye Haochuan.

”By the way, what’s your name?”

Ye Haochuan pulled back from his thoughts and addressed the young man.

”You can call me Ling Zhixing, sir.”

The young man was surprised that Ye Haochuan asked his name. After a brief moment of surprise, he replied quietly.

”Ah, Ling Zhixing, you’re quite impressive!”

Ye Haochuan nodded, ”Come in with me. I don’t know anyone else inside, and it might be inconvenient without you.”

”That’s not allowed, sir. We have rules. Receptionists can’t go into the inner chamber.” Ling Zhixing shook his head repeatedly at Ye Haochuan’s request.

”Enough, don’t argue. If I say it’s okay, it’s okay.”

Ye Haochuan chuckled, flipping a small Jade Token in his hand.

”Supreme Jade Token?”

Seeing the Jade Token in Ye Haochuan’s hand, Ling Zhixing was stunned. But his reaction was swift, and within moments, he stepped into the inner chamber, respectfully inviting, ”Please, sir!”

At that moment, an unnatural blush appeared on Ling Zhixing’s face, feeling that the opportunity he’d been waiting for had arrived. In his eyes, a flame named hope began to burn brightly.

There are very few Supreme Jade Tokens issued throughout the entire Legendary Chamber of Commerce, meaning that every holder of a Supreme Jade Token is an absolute VIP.

So even in the inner chamber, where he wasn’t allowed to enter, if the holder of a Supreme Jade Token let him in, no one could object, not even the Shopkeeper of the Pill Shop.

Moreover, if he properly serves a Supreme Jade Token holder, it could greatly enhance his status in the shop.

”I’m curious, with your abilities, why are you only a low-level receptionist?” Ye Haochuan curiously asked.

The young man smiled bitterly, ”What’s the use of ability? Without connections, nothing significant can be achieved.”

”Oh?” Ye Haochuan asked in surprise, ”You don’t seem like someone from a poor family. People from impoverished backgrounds usually don’t have such insight.”

”Well...”

Upon hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, Ling Zhixing felt petrified. Clearly, this was a story he wasn’t fond of sharing with someone he’d just met.

However, he didn’t refuse, hesitating a bit as Ye Haochuan’s presence might bring a glimmer of hope to his career.

”Haha, it’s fine. Feel free to speak. If I can help, I don’t mind saying a few more words.”

Ye Haochuan noticed Ling Zhixing’s hesitation and smiled. If Ling Zhixing didn’t want to share, he wouldn’t press further.

Of course, if Ling Zhixing was willing to talk, Ye Haochuan wouldn’t mind speaking positively about him to the Shopkeeper of the Legendary Elixir Shop.

Despite his current decline, Ye Haochuan was once the Alliance Hierarch of the Supreme Alliance and the direct grandson of Ye Hao, the Xuanmen Sect Master.

He carried a certain aura that only someone who held a high position might possess. Together with the Supreme Jade Token, all these factors contributed to a presence that even in a Legendary Chamber of Commerce’s Pill Shop and in the eyes of a mere Pill Shop receptionist, appeared magnified infinitely.

In that moment, in Ling Zhixing’s eyes, the flame named hope almost burst out of his sockets.
