You can report to me now.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the man paused for a moment. Then, his face darkened, and he said slowly:

"Don't think you can be arrogant just because you are a regular customer. The Elixir Group has never been short of customers!"

"??"

Lu Xiaobai looked the man up and down, and said flatly:

"Sent by a competitor? Forget it, I'm too lazy to investigate. Pack your things, you can get ready to get out of here."

"Get out?"

The man looked stunned, then let out a sneer, saying disdainfully:

"Do you know who I am? And you want me to get out!"

"Who are you?"

"Listen clearly, my name is Li Mu. I graduated from a top-tier Starry Sky Academy, and now I am a disciple of Master An!"

A hint of arrogance appeared in the man's eyes as he said casually:

"I'm only guarding the counter right now to familiarize myself with the store's procedures. Did you really think I was some customer service staff?"

"Oh."

Lu Xiaobai simply said "oh," completely unbothered.

"Little brother, we'd better go..."

Hearing the man's credentials, the young man next to him was shaken and even wanted to leave on the spot. But considering that Lu Xiaobai was standing up for him, he wanted to take him along, though unfortunately, he couldn't.

"I'll give you one last chance. Leave immediately!"

The man narrowed his eyes and said coldly:

"Otherwise, you won't even have the chance to regret it!"

Lu Xiaobai smiled slightly, standing there completely unmoved.

Just then, a respectful voice rang out:

"Young Master, what brings you here?"

A middle-aged man came jogging over.

"Uncle Hua, I came to pick up some potions."

Lu Xiaobai smiled at the approaching man.

"There was no need for you to come in person for this. Couldn't I have just arranged for someone to deliver them to you?"

"It's fine. I just finished school and decided to drop by since it was on the way."

Watching their conversation, the man at the counter froze on the spot, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

The middle-aged man in front of him was the manager of their store. He usually only received VIP guests and would never act this humble!

He now realized that he seemed to have provoked someone he really shouldn't have...

"Uncle Hua, have our hiring standards dropped this low?"

Lu Xiaobai pointed at the young man behind the counter and said:

"This guy insults customers as he pleases. If we let him stay, our store will probably go out of business before long."

Chen Hua paused for a moment, then instantly understood. He said calmly:

"Li Mu, you can pack your things and leave!"

"Manager, I..."

"Get out!"

Chen Hua's tone was angry, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Manager Chen, I have a level-three Basic Potionology certification, and I was personally taken in as a disciple by Master An. If he finds out you fired me, this won't be resolved so easily!"

"Still not leaving, huh?"

Chen Hua narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint appearing in them, and said slowly:

"Don't force me to get physical!"

Li Mu clenched his fists and continued indignantly:

"I don't care which family's young master he is. For you to fire me so easily just because of an outsider's words, I'm going to report this up the corporate ladder!"

Lu Xiaobai raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"Then go ahead and report it. You can report it to me right now."

"What the hell are you!?"

As soon as Li Mu's words fell, Chen Hua instantly punched him in the nose. Blood gushed out, making him look extremely miserable.

With a dark expression, Chen Hua said:

"You blind fool, this is the Fourth Young Master of our Lu family!"

As soon as these words came out,

Li Mu froze, and then his expression changed drastically. He felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, rushing straight to the top of his skull!

Fourth Young Master, a direct descendant of the Lu family?!

He had actually offended such a big shot...

"I..."

"Get out of here!"

Chen Hua didn't give him any chance to speak, afraid he would anger Lu Xiaobai again.

After all, it was fine if this guy wanted to seek death, but he didn't want to be dragged down with him...

Hearing this, Li Mu could only look at Lu Xiaobai in terror. Clutching his nose, he scurried away wretchedly.

Having offended a direct descendant of the Lu family, even if he were Master An's own father, he would still have to get lost...

"There's no need for you to get angry over this kind of person, Young Master..."

Chen Hua quickly smiled apologetically.

"I'm not angry. I'm just wondering how someone like that managed to enter an Elixir store."

Lu Xiaobai glanced at Chen Hua and said pointedly:

"Uncle Hua, this guy isn't someone's relative, is he?"

Chen Hua shuddered and quickly replied:

"Young Master, that's absolutely impossible!"

He glanced around, then lowered his voice:

"This kid has good talent. Master An took a liking to him and hired him directly. I haven't even interviewed him yet..."

Although he was the store manager, Master An was the store's head pharmacist. It could be said that most of the store's potions were personally formulated by him, so his status was no lower than that of the manager.

"From now on, no matter what position we're hiring for, you have to screen them to see what their character is like."

Lu Xiaobai said casually:

"The reason our Elixir Group has grown so large is not only because of the guaranteed quality of our potions, but also because of our customer service!"

"A dam of a thousand miles collapses from an ant hole. I don't want the entire group to suffer any losses because of one or two people."

"Young Master, I understand!"

Chen Hua made repeated guarantees, while asking in a low voice:

"Do you want me to have Master An come see you?"

"Forget it."

Lu Xiaobai shook his head and said:

"Master An is a potion fanatic. He only has potionology in his eyes, so it's understandable that he would overlook a person's character. But as the store manager, you need to pay attention to this from now on."

He understood Master An very well. He had deep respect for people who dedicated their entire lives to potionology, so naturally, he wouldn't reprimand him.

Hearing this, Chen Hua stopped talking.

"By the way, bro, what potion were you trying to buy again?"

Lu Xiaobai's expression shifted as he looked at the young man who had brought him in.

At this moment, the man was completely dumbfounded. His mind was in a continuous blank state, having no idea what to do.

It wasn't until Lu Xiaobai spoke that he snapped back to reality and stammered:

"I... I want to buy... buy... medicine to heal hidden bodily injuries!"

"Uncle Hua, get him the best potion."

"No need, no need..."

The young man jumped and quickly said:

"I... I don't have that much money."

"You don't have to pay."

Lu Xiaobai smiled and said:

"All the medicine you buy today is free. Treat it as an apology to you."

"How... how can I accept that?"

"Just take it."

Lu Xiaobai patted his shoulder, then turned around to head upstairs.

"Young... Young Master Lu!"

The young man suddenly called out to him, then handed over a business card and said:

"If you ever need a sparring partner, you can come to me anytime. I guarantee cheap prices and solid quality!"

He didn't stammer at all when introducing his business. Obviously, he had said this sentence countless times.

"Zhao Guangming?"

Lu Xiaobai glanced at the business card, then tucked it into his pocket and said with a smile,

"I'll contact you if I need anything."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Zhao Guangming said, his face full of gratitude.

Lu Xiaobai nodded at the man, then eagerly headed straight upstairs. He hadn't forgotten that he had come here specifically to grab some potions for emergencies.

Soon,

Lu Xiaobai made his way all the way up and arrived directly at the warehouse on the top floor.

Taking things bit by bit from the counters was too much of a hassle; coming straight to the warehouse to stock up was much more satisfying...
