Chapter 276 - How Dare He! Tell Him to Stop! (2/2)
The only way to prove that he had been right was to show that Fang Qiu had made an error.
”Very well!” the middle-aged man said as he glared at Fang Qiu. ”Do you dare to hand over your prescription?”
”Why wouldn't I?” Fang Qiu said calmly and handed his prescription over.
The middle-aged man took the prescription from Fang Qiu and said after he glanced at it, ”Hmph, your prescription looks rather robust.”
Then, he added, ”Nonetheless, this doesn't diminish the fact that you collected the ingredients carelessly!”
”I did not collect the ingredients carelessly,” Fang Qiu said as he pursed his lips.
This middle-aged man was getting on his nerves.
These people were wasting his time.
The staff members glared angrily at him when they saw that he still had the nerve to retort.
”We have all witnessed what you've done earlier, so why are you still trying to argue your way out of it?”
”Your ingredients are with me, so do you really think that we'll let you off if you refuse to admit your mistake?”
”You're truly a stubborn fool!”
The staff members continued to denounce his actions.
”What did you witness earlier?” Fang Qiu said as he rolled his eyes.
”Didn't you see me use my hands to collect the ingredients? What's wrong with that? I'd still be able to collect the ingredients accurately even if I had only used my hands to do so.”
”Moreover, I still have other matters to attend to after I've seen my patients, so please stop harassing me!”
The staff members were livid when they heard what he had said.
They were shocked by his brazenness and how he was still denying his action even when the fact had been laid out. He had even dared to snap back at them.
His actions were completely out of hand.
”Very well!” the middle-aged man pointed angrily at Fang Qiu and said, ”If you're so insistent that you're right, let me show everyone whether you have accurately collected your ingredients! This is your prescription, and these are the ingredients that you've collected earlier!”
Then, he stalked up to the counter and took the electronic scale.
”Collect the ingredients,” the middle-aged man yelled as he looked at Fang Qiu.
Then, he called out the name of the ingredient in accordance with the prescription in his hand.
Each time he called out the name of the ingredient, the staff member would take out the ingredient from the ingredients that Fang Qiu had gathered earlier.
The first ingredient was Chinese licorice.
It was placed on the electronic scale.
10 grams!
It was exactly 10 grams.
Then, he looked at the prescription and was shocked to see that it said, ”Chinese licorice, 10 grams!”
The middle-aged man who held the prescription was completely stunned.
”Are you sure you had taken all the Chinese licorice there was from Fang Qiu's ingredients?” the middle-aged man asked as he looked at the staff member who had given him the ingredient.
”Yes,” the staff member said.
”Are you sure that there's none left?” the middle-aged man asked again.
”There isn't any left,” the staff member replied.
The middle-aged man's expression changed.
He had been prepared to deliver a severe warning to Fang Qiu, so he was shocked to find out that the ingredient had indeed matched the amount stated on the prescription.
How, how could this be possible?
The others were equally baffled when they saw the prescription.
How could it be exactly the same?
”Impossible!”
”How is it even possible to use your hand to weigh the ingredients?”
”He must have gotten lucky. It must have been luck!”
Several staff members thought to themselves.
”Next,” the middle-aged man couldn't believe it either and immediately called out the name of the next ingredient.
The staff member in charge of handing him the ingredient quickly took out the ingredient from the ingredients Fang Qiu had gathered earlier.
It was placed on the scale.
Then, he looked at the prescription.
And, it was still an exact match!
All of the staff members were in complete shock. They looked at each other in dismay and were unable to utter a single word.
”He must have gotten lucky. I'm sure that's it,” the middle-aged man thought to himself.
He quickly called out the name of the third ingredient.
The next moment, he saw that the third ingredient was also an exact match.
He called out the name of the fourth ingredient.
Similarly, it was incredibly precise.
He ran through the entire prescription and realized that every ingredient was an exact match to the weight listed on the prescription, and there wasn't a single deviation. Although Fang Qiu had used his hand to collect the ingredients, the weight of his ingredients was as accurate as when they were weighed by the scale!
The results were out.
Everyone was completely stunned, especially the middle-aged man who was their leader.
”How, how could this be possible?”
He looked at Fang Qiu incredulously and asked, ”How did you manage to pull it off?”
”I just managed to do so,” Fang Qiu said.
”But, how? How exactly did you do it?” the middle-aged man asked.
”Wouldn't it be obvious after you have spent such a long time collecting ingredients?” Fang Qiu said with a resigned tone and pursed his lips.
The staff members pretended to nod calmly at his words.
”Uh, you... please continue with what you were doing,” the middle-aged man said. Then, he scratched his head as he led his men out of the room.
They were all pretending to be calm but these staff members felt incredibly embarrassed since they had come to berate him harshly earlier.
However, instead of berating Fang Qiu, they had been the ones who were berated by Fang Qiu, and when they tried to prove his mistake, they had ended up getting humiliated.
That had been incredibly embarrassing!
The only way to salvage their dignity was to pretend to be calm.
