Chapter 9 The classic lines of the scholar

All the apprentices stopped what they were doing and rushed from all over the lobby to the north podium where Sun Hecheng was.
A pair of nervous and expectant eyes stared at the test paper in Sun Hecheng's hand.
"These are the passing papers in my hand," Sun Hecheng raised the papers in his hand and said conclusively, "The difficulty of this exam is still very high, and the passing rate is less than 10%! Next I will call
Those whose names are called will come to collect the test papers, and the others who failed will come and collect them later."
The apprentices whose names were called suppressed their excitement and came to the stage to take away the test papers.
"What score did you get on the test?"
"Only sixty-five, just passed...what about you?"
"I'm only sixty-one..."
Zong Jie got the test paper with his name on it, and once again checked the bright red "76" on the test paper, he felt proud. Several people next to him came over to congratulate him.
"It's amazing, boss. You can take so many exams on such a difficult paper."
"We scumbags can only look up."
"Boss, this score should be the first."
Zong Jie smiled from ear to ear and said repeatedly: "It depends on the situation, maybe there is a higher one."
As the number of test papers in Sun Hecheng's hand became less and less, the apprentices whose names were not called became more and more nervous. Finally, the last test paper in Sun Hecheng's hand was sent out, and there was a sigh in the lobby.
Zong Jie glanced at Bai Xiaowen and confirmed that the other party had not got the test paper. He was very proud. Then he looked at the still calm expression on Bai Xiaowen's face and secretly snorted: Let's see how long you can pretend.
Zong Jie raised his voice and said to Sun Hecheng on the stage: "Master Sun, can you tell me which three are coming for the interview?"
Everyone pricked up their ears.
Sun Hecheng pondered for a few seconds, waved his hand and said: "Not three, only one."
"What, only one person entered the interview?" A group of apprentices were confused.
Sun Hecheng explained: "In this exam, the difference in the scores of the top three is too big. I think it is no longer necessary to enter the interview according to the ratio of three to one. There is no suspense for the first place in the written exam, and you will definitely be promoted to an assistant.
Yes, no need to waste any more time.”
Zong Jie was pounding with excitement. He just learned that other people's scores were higher than his own.
However, Zong Jie still wanted to confirm it through Sun Hecheng's mouth. He then asked: "Master Sun, who is first? What's the score?"
Sun Hecheng glanced at Zong Jie. Of course he could see the expectation on Zong Jie's face. He nodded and said with a smile: "Your name is Zong Jie, right? You got seventy-six points in the exam, which is pretty good. I'll keep working hard in the future, and I'll do well."
There will be better opportunities.”
"What... does this mean?" Zong Jie was confused. From Sun Hecheng's words, he seemed to hear a hint of something bad.
Sun Hecheng faced everyone and announced loudly: "The first place in the written test is Bai Xiaowen, and the score is 100 points..." He said with some emotion, "The paper Bai Xiaowen made can already be used as the standard answer. Even I can't do it.
Better..."
Sun Hecheng paused, giving everyone time to be surprised and accept, and then continued: "I left Bai Xiaowen's test paper on the podium. You can compare it and see your own shortcomings. Bai Xiaowen, come with me."
There was a loud explosion in the lobby.
Amid the chaotic discussion, Zong Jie's face turned pale, and his brain seemed to be in a state of panic. There was only one sentence floating in his mind: Bai Xiaowen got full marks, Bai Xiaowen got full marks...
"It's actually twenty-four points more than me..." Zong Jie murmured to himself.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at Zong Jie: "Do you think the gap between you and me is only 24 points?"
"You..." Zong Jie's eyes widened and he opened his mouth to retort, "Don't you know how to count?"
"Haha..." Bai Xiaowen smiled and said a classic line from a top student: "Remember, you got a score of 76 because your ability is only 76. I got a score of 100 because
There are only one hundred test papers in total!"
Bai Xiaowen stood up and followed Sun Hecheng to the exclusive pharmaceutical room. As the door of the pharmaceutical room closed, a group of apprentices, especially those in Zongjie's small group, felt disappointed. A door separated two classes.
In the pharmaceutical room.
"Bai Xiaowen, you have done very well during this period. The store manager praised you yesterday, saying that you can calm down and hold your temper, and you are a good worker." Sun Hecheng smiled and motioned for Bai Xiaowen to sit down.
Regarding the "battle between rivers and lakes" in the lobby of the pharmaceutical department, the store manager and senior pharmacy executives like Sun Hecheng seem to be indifferent, but in fact they are fully aware of it. However, this is also a normal workplace ecosystem. Which newcomer is not bullied?
The old store manager and Sun Hecheng thought that the young and energetic Bai Xiaowen, who was in his third year of high school, would not be able to control himself and would have conflicts with Zong Jie and other old apprentices. It turned out that their worries were unnecessary, and Bai Xiaowen's performance exceeded their expectations.
In addition, it also made the two of them have a higher evaluation of Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen showed a shy smile, just like the expression of a normal young high school student who is praised by his seniors. He secretly scorned it in his heart, it's shameful to act cute.
"I have a question," Sun Hecheng said, "You have only been in the pharmaceutical department for a week. You have probably never seen the medicinal materials for the last five questions, let alone handled them, right? How did you make them?"
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while, but did not tell the story of memorizing the pharmaceutical encyclopedia within a week. After all, this kind of thing was a bit shocking.
"My dad taught me some pharmaceutical basics when I was a kid, and I taught myself the rest." Bai Xiaowen lied.
Sun Hecheng smiled and said: "It turns out that it is a family background. What is your father's name and where does he work now?" He thought he had met a colleague in the pharmaceutical industry.
"Bai Yuantang, has been missing for many years." Bai Xiaowen told the truth this time.
Sun Hecheng was in awe. In his mind, he had already sketched out the image of a strong young man who suffered great changes but continued to strive for self-improvement.
"What a pity..." Sun Hecheng sighed, and then the conversation got back on track, "No wonder you can identify the Stone Skin Potion and the Gargoyle Power Potion, and see through Fan Jianwei's methods. You have such a good foundation."
"Thank you, Master Sun, for the compliment. Have I passed?" Bai Xiaowen asked. He was still a little uneasy. After all, his situation was different from that of most apprentices.
Sun Hecheng thought for a while and said: "Your situation is quite special. You are a high school student and are underage. You cannot sign a contract. Moreover, you cannot guarantee working hours from nine to five. Frankly speaking, it is not very suitable to accept you as an assistant.
"
Fortunately, Sun Hecheng did not close the door. He continued: "However, your written test scores are really good. It is rare to find an assistant with a solid foundation and a calm mind... Therefore, I will give you a chance to try it out."
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Master Sun, please speak."
"Every day after you come over from school, I will give you the list of medicines to be prepared the next day, and you can prepare the medicines for me in advance," Sun Hecheng said seriously, "This is a full day's workload for an assistant under normal circumstances.
You have to finish it that night. If you can't do it, I'll have to substitute someone else."
"No problem." Bai Xiaowen agreed without hesitation. If it can't be completed within the 4 hours of part-time work, then just continue to work night shifts. Bai Xiaowen will not give up this opportunity.
"In addition, I will prepare some more complex medicines at night, and sometimes I need you to deliver the medicinal materials. This will take up extra time for you to process the medicinal materials, so you must be mentally prepared." Sun Hecheng reminded.
"Thank you, Master Sun. I will definitely do it." Bai Xiaowen felt a little grateful. Sun Hecheng took care of him and adjusted his work arrangements.
The difficulty of preparing potions varies. For some simple potions, Sun Hecheng can complete them alone without the help of an assistant. But for some potions that have very strict requirements on heat and timing, the pharmacist needs to keep an eye on the liquid at all times.
The reaction is often delayed by 0.5 seconds, which will lead to failure!
Preparing complex medicines is more precise than performing precise surgery, and of course requires assistants to cooperate in delivering medicines and tools. Sun Hecheng prepared simple medicines during the day, and prepared complex medicines at night when Bai Xiaowen was around. Of course, he was taking care of Bai Xiaowen's schoolwork.
In response to Bai Xiaowen's thanks, Sun Hecheng just smiled and waved: "It's getting late. You go back today. Work will officially start tomorrow."
Bai Xiaowen came out of the preparation room. Although the apprentices in the lobby did not come over to save their face, the eyes they looked at Bai Xiaowen changed a lot, and many of them were convinced.
They had all seen Bai Xiaowen's perfect test paper and were dissatisfied.
Zong Jie shrank his neck and hid far away. Several members of the small group around him were also busy with their own affairs and no longer surrounded Zong Jie.
People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.
Zong Jie felt desolate in his heart. He was afraid that Bai Xiaowen would mention the bet, so he could only hide behind the medicine cabinet, hoping that Bai Xiaowen would not find him.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at it and walked over: "Zong Jie, clean up all the medicine cabinets here."
Looking at the thousands of grids, Zong Jie felt dizzy: "You..."
"What? Do you want to clean out the medicine cabinet, or do you want to resign?" Bai Xiaowen said lightly, "Hurry up and do the work, or I will change my mind."
Everyone looked at the two people with astonished eyes.
As a newcomer, Bai Xiaowen, who is only a high school student, actually yelled at Zong Jie, an old apprentice who graduated from college. Even if Bai Xiaowen was promoted to an assistant, it was unreasonable.
With Zongjie's temper, the two of them will definitely have a conflict, which will be a good show.
Who would have thought that Zong Jie shrank his head and walked around Bai Xiaowen, and went to clean the medicine cabinet honestly.
Everyone was shocked.
The bet between Zong Jie and Bai Xiaowen spread quietly among the crowd, and the apprentices suddenly understood.
But after Bai Xiaowen left the preparation room, Sun Hecheng made a phone call.
"Hello, miss."
"Yes, the exam is over, and Bai Xiaowen actually came first."
"Yes, I'm surprised too. I've already agreed to him being my assistant."
"Well, Miss, you don't need to thank me. He is very talented and works hard enough. Even if Miss doesn't say anything, I will take appropriate care of him."
Chapter completed!
