Chapter 160: Go Ask Your Master

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Go Ask Your Master

After Ye Yan and Chai Chen parted ways, she passed by a pharmacy.

A recruitment notice was posted at the entrance of the store.

"Have you ever sold medicine before?" The shopkeeper looked at Ye Yan standing in front of him and furrowed his brows.

This girl was so pretty, with an air of refinement and the look of someone well-read.

"No," Ye Yan replied quickly before the shopkeeper could show any impatience, "I used to be a doctor. Although I haven’t sold medicine, I should be familiar with it soon."

"You’re a doctor? You, a doctor, are coming to work as a sales assistant in a pharmacy?" The shopkeeper squinted his eyes skeptically, "You’re not lying, are you?"

How much does a doctor earn, and how much does a pharmacist earn?

Who would be foolish enough to give up a high-paying job to sell medicine?

"Here are my medical license and resume," Ye Yan said, taking out her various certificates and resume from her bag.

After looking over them, the shopkeeper said in astonishment, "Your credentials are so good, why come to sell medicine? Our salary isn’t high, and there are often late shifts, are you sure you can cope?"

"I can, I have no problem with that."

"Are you in some kind of trouble?"

Ye Yan didn’t speak, looking down.

The shopkeeper waved his hand, "Never mind, if you want to work here, work. When you find a better job, I will definitely let you leave."

"Thank you, thank you," Ye Yan gratefully said, thanking him repeatedly upon his agreement.

That evening Ye Zhun called to ask how her foot injury was healing.

Ye Yan was memorizing the pharmacy’s inventory list.

She hadn’t told Ye Zhun about her job change, not wanting to affect his studies.

She had some savings on hand, and Fu Xingzhou had also left her a bank card, but she had never touched it, nor did she know how much money was in it.

Having chosen to cut ties completely, she wouldn’t spend a cent of Fu Xingzhou’s money.

She wouldn’t touch his card, and she wouldn’t live in his large apartment either.

But why, now that she had made such a clear break, wouldn’t he let her go?

As Ye Yan worked in the pharmacy, she continued to send out resumes, but this time she didn’t aim for large hospitals, instead focusing on smaller medical institutions.

However, the resumes she sent out vanished without trace, with no response.

Tonight, she was on night shift.

During the night shift, the main door is closed, and medicine is sold through a small window.

At eleven o’clock, someone rang the bell to buy medicine.

"Do you have stomach medicine?" someone asked urgently from outside the window.

Ye Yan recognized the voice, she lowered her head to look out of the small window and made direct eye contact with the person.

Ah Si exclaimed in surprise, "Madam? Madam, what are you doing here?"

"What kind of stomach medicine?" Ye Yan asked as though she didn’t know him, focused solely on her job.

"Sir’s stomach ailment has flared up again, and he’s sweating from the pain," Ah Si said, glancing at the vehicle parked not far away, his face full of anxiety.

They had just returned from a dinner engagement, and halfway back, Fu Xingzhou’s stomach trouble had resurfaced.

His stomach had always been weak, but he had maintained a mild diet and moderate alcohol consumption, especially during the time Ye Yan was with him; she had taken good care of him.

The frequency of his attacks had decreased, and there had even been signs of recovery.

But since Ye Yan left, his life had become increasingly unregulated, and his stomach problems had worsened, causing such excruciating pain it was nearly unbearable.

Following Ah Si’s gaze, Ye Yan turned and took two boxes of medicine from the shelf.

"These Chewing Pills, take two at a time, let them dissolve in your mouth; this medication mix, three times daily, one sachet each time with warm water," Ye Yan packaged the medicine and calculated the price, "Scan code or cash?"

Ah Si quickly scanned the code to pay.

"Is there anything else?" Ye Yan asked expressionlessly.

"No, nothing else, thank you."

Ah Si, holding the medicine, quickly disappeared into the night.

Ye Yan watched through the window as he approached a black sedan, opened the rear door, and seemed to say something.

The car didn’t leave immediately. Soon, Ah Si came back and rang the bell.

"What else do you need?" Ye Yan’s voice carried a hint of impatience. She really didn’t want to see anyone related to Fu Xingzhou or hear anything about him again.

He had already forced her into this situation, what more did he want?

Did he really want her to leave Ao City before he would be satisfied?

"Madam, how come you are selling medicine here?" Ah Si asked respectfully.

"That question should be asked to your master, shouldn’t it?" Ye Yan sneered, "Also, I’m not any ’madam.’ If you’re not buying medicine, I’m not at your service."

Having said that, she shut the service window, clearly not wishing to talk further.

Unable to obtain the answers he sought, Ah Si had no choice but to return to the car.

Fu Xingzhou had taken two Chewing Pills, but they couldn’t relieve his stomach pain.

He was surprised to hear from Ah Si that Ye Yan had been spotted working at the pharmacy.

Why would Ye Yan choose to work there? With her medical expertise and credentials, the top hospitals in Ao City were hers for the choosing.

After asking, Ah Si only brought back a single sentence.

"She told you to ask me?" Fu Xingzhou leaned back in the rear seat, his face pale from the torment of stomach pain.

"Yes, the madam seemed very angry, as if her working here is related to the master," Ah Si was puzzled as well.

How could this be related to the master?

To avoid obsessing over her, in the last month or so, he didn’t mention anything related to the madam, as if deliberately trying to forget her.

He was well aware that if he couldn’t kick this addiction, it would only worsen.

Then it would truly be mutual destruction.

If he didn’t want to hurt her, the only way was to not see her, not inquire about any news of her, and let time gradually wear down his anxiety.

But Ao City was so small that a chance encounter could occur even in a tiny pharmacy.

"Master, should we investigate?" Ah Si felt there must be some misunderstanding.

After a moment of thought, Fu Xingzhou said, "Go investigate."

He wanted to see who had the power to force Ye Yan from the hospital to the pharmacy, from a surgeon to a pharmacist.

How could someone as proud as her come to accept such a drastic change?

When the car arrived at Zhoushan Villa, Ah Si’s investigation results were also delivered.

"Somebody has been spreading rumors, claiming that the madam was forced to resign from Holy Land Hospital after offending you, sir. They even produced some evidence, which led several major hospitals in Ao City to blacklist the madam, afraid to hire her."

Ah Si cautiously glanced at Fu Xingzhou, "You might remember this person, sir. It’s Miss Meng Tian’s ex-boyfriend, surname Pei, called Pei Ye."

Ah Si remembered Pei Ye very clearly.

Back when he accompanied Ye Yan to the auction, Pei Ye and that woman surnamed Xia had not ceased to trip up the madam, a despicable wretch who lived off others.

"Pei Ye?"

Fu Xingzhou had attended their engagement party, but he did not show himself; he went only because he missed Ye Yan.

Ye Yan had told him about the grievances between Pei Ye and Meng Tian; through her anger, she recounted the tale, and even now, he vividly remembered her indignation.
