Chapter 1409: Get Help

“Got it.” Chairman Wang narrowed his eyes deeply and fell into contemplation. He turned to look at He Shu and said, “Call Young Master Min.”

Qin Zheng’s backer was not from the capital. If his backer was allowed to get involved in the matter, it was bound to tip the scales of power in the capital. This was no longer just about the Apothecaries’ Association.

Since power was involved, they could not stand by and do nothing.

“I know you probably want the Min family to help.” He Shu swiftly caught Chairman Wang’s drift.

Chairman Wang nodded. “The Apothecaries’ Association often works with the Min family. I’m sure they won’t stand on the sidelines without helping us.”

“That’s true, but I think Young Master Min is probably not in the position to help.” He Shu sighed as he spoke.

Chairman Wang frowned. “Why not?”

“I heard that Young Master Min suffered a very bad relapse,” said He Shu. He had gotten to know about this from Pei Rong. When he learned about Min Yu’s situation, he changed his mind about getting the Min family to step in and help.

Chairman Wang was stunned. He knew about Min Yu’s illness. “I recall he looked good when we saw him recently, right?”

“I don’t know the details either. Why don’t you call and ask tomorrow?” asked He Shu after pondering briefly.

Chairman Wang looked worried. “Why would he relapse at a time like this?”

If Min Yu could not get involved, Qin Zheng would definitely get his way in the association.

Chairman Wang leaned against the couch backrest quietly for some time. He checked his phone, swiped down his phone book, and looked for the numbers belonging to his peers in the Chinese medicine industry. He proceeded to call them one by one.

The next day, at the Apothecaries’ Association.

He Shu walked out of the conference room with a serious look on his face thinking about his conversation with Deputy Chairman Qin.

After reaching downstairs, he sat in the lobby. He contemplated as he held his phone tightly before finally giving Huo Yao a call.

He asked about Min Yu’s condition and updated her about the situation at the Apothecaries’ Association.

He Shu spoke hesitantly over the phone, but Huo Yao knew what he was trying to say. She paused and said, “I will send you Zhuo Yun’s number later. He will help you.”

He Shu was unacquainted with Zhuo Yun. Since Huo Yao had offered to give him Zhuo Yun’s number, he was probably capable of helping, so he thanked her profusely.

Last night, Chairman Wang had spent all night calling his friends, but no one agreed to come forward.

In his time of need, his friends only cared about themselves and refused to help.

After hanging up the phone, He Shu received a text message from Huo Yao containing a number. He stared at the number for a few minutes and finally dialed it.

The call got through before long.

He Shu automatically straightened his body and said politely, “Hi, is this Mr. Zhuo? I’m Miss Huo’s friend. She gave me your number.”

Zhuo Yun had already received a text message from Huo Yao about this. He had planned on visiting Chairman Wang today, so he promptly agreed to help He Shu and made arrangements to meet him.

When he heard what the man said, He Shu gave him an address. “Sure, see you in 30 minutes.”

After Zhuo Yun hung up the phone, He Shu finally put away his phone with a look of hope on his face. He was really dejected earlier, but felt a lot better now.

He Shu sighed and put away his phone and planned on leaving the association.

Pei Rong walked out of the lift and saw He Shu sitting in the corner of the lobby dejectedly. He paused briefly before walking toward He Shu.
