Seeing there might be a play, Liang Fei didn't bother with chit-chat and picked up the phone to dial Elder Qiao's number.
"Hello, Liang, have you purchased the medicinal materials?"
No sooner had the call connected than Elder Qiao's resonant, vigorous voice came through the receiver. Although Elder Qiao was advanced in age, he paid great attention to the ways of nourishing life through traditional Chinese medicine. His body was even better than some young people's, which could be heard in his energetic voice alone.
"Um, Elder Qiao, I'm actually buying the medicine right now..."
Upon hearing Elder Qiao's voice, Liang Fei suddenly didn't know what to say.
After all, he intended to capitalize on Elder Qiao's prestige to haggle with the pharmacy owner on his behalf, essentially asking Elder Qiao for a favor. And Liang Fei had always been shy about asking for help; he had never done such a thing before.
"Hello, are... are you Elder Qiao?"
