Chapter 53: Friends are for sale
Previously in the orphanage, Su Xia left a very good impression on Zhao Si.
He always remembered this polite and patient young man.
Zhao Si was a traitor, but was trusted by the city lord and was directly parachuted into a very important management position, but he had few capable people around him.
The other human managers all excluded him, as if they were afraid that he would report him to the city lord, which put Zhao Si under a lot of pressure.
"Young man, I remember your name is Su Xia, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhao has a good memory."
“A good memory is one of the prerequisites for becoming a manager.”
Zhao Si smiled gently, and just like before, he stretched out his hand and patted Su Xia's shoulder like an elder.
He said: "I had a feeling that we would meet again soon, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
"I just came to deliver the medicine."
Su Xia behaved very honestly, with the word "pure" written all over her face.
His voice was not loud and seemed a little reserved.
Zhao Si said, "Yes, you have just entered society and have become an apprentice pharmacist. You are ahead of many people."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Zhao."
"Although being a pharmacist is a good profession, it ultimately relies on skills and connections to make a living, and it is difficult to reach a high position of power." Zhao Si began to induce, "When others need you, they will respectfully call you a master, but once others no longer need you, your status will not be much different from those of ordinary people."
"Yeah, I see."
Su Xia nodded repeatedly, looking as honest as could be.
Zhao Si continued, "Besides, your father's pharmacy may not be peaceful for too long."
"What does this mean, Mr. Zhao?"
Su Xia raised her head, widened her eyes, and looked very surprised.
Although he is not a professional performer, he is good enough to fool Zhao Si.
And, he was indeed a little surprised.
Did Dad offend someone he shouldn’t have?
Zhao Si suddenly sighed, shook his head and said, "Coral City has been unstable recently. It seems that someone in the city is contacting those resistance organizations in the wilderness and providing supplies to those rebels."
"Could it be that the teacher..."
"That's right!" Zhao Si's face turned serious. "Su Xia, your teacher, that old man, may have been providing medicine to those resistance organizations outside the city. Do you know what the crime is?"
"this……"
"You are still young, so it may be difficult for you to accept this."
Zhao Si's tone softened a little, and his serious expression became a little gentler .
He said slowly: "It is precisely because you are still young that I don't want to see you go astray."
In fact, there are many suspects .
Daddy is just one of them.
But Daddy's personal strength is not bad. Coral City cannot monitor him all the time, nor can it judge whether Daddy is providing potions to the rebel organization based on the pharmacy's purchase and shipment volumes. After all, there is a certain possibility of failure in potion refining.
Su Xia seemed very nervous and worried, and asked Zhao Si: "Mr. Zhao, what should I do?"
"It's easy! Are you willing to go undercover?"
"Undercover?"
Su Xia looked surprised, but her heart was calm.
Sure enough, it was this trick again.
After this guy betrayed the North Wind Organization, he worked undercover in the organization for a long time, otherwise the entire North Wind Organization would not have been defeated so tragically.
This guy now wants him to go undercover at his dad's place.
There are no new tricks.
Unfortunately, now is not a good time to take action, and the clone has no mission reminder, otherwise Su Xia really wants to kill this guy on the spot.
"That's right, he's an undercover!" Zhao Si said in a deep voice, "Su Xia, there are more excellent pharmacists in Coral City than just Dad. I can introduce other excellent pharmacists to you as your teachers. After the matter is done, I can recommend you to the city lord and let you enter the management level and rise to the top in one step!"
"this……"
Su Xia seemed a little hesitant and lowered her head slightly.
But Zhao Si immediately added: "Su Xia, what do you think of the wealthy area here? How does it compare to the pharmacy?"
“Here…it’s nice here.”
Su Xia answered honestly.
"So do you want to live here?"
"Um."
"Then it's settled then?" Zhao Si pulled out a roll of banknotes. "After this is done, you can also live here, become a superior person, and never have to worry about food and clothing again!"
"Upper Class……"
Su Xia used her acting talent to add a bit of yearning to her face, and then nodded vigorously.
In this way, he had an "undercover" identity again.
Zhao Si patted Su Xia on the shoulder with relief and said, "Go ahead, your two friends are waiting for you. Don't feel any psychological pressure. Always remember... friends are meant to be betrayed!"
"Yeah, I remember it!"
Su Xia looked at Zhao Si deeply, then walked quickly towards Hong Bafu and the others.
The security guards had finished frisking them.
Hong Bafu waved to Su Xia and asked, "Brother Su, why have you been searched for so long? Do you have a grudge against that guy named Zhao Si?"
"No...Brother also knows Zhao Si?"
"Of course I know. He is a notorious traitor!"
When talking about Zhao Si, Hong Bafu looked disdainful.
Commander Beifeng had a significant influence on both him and Lan Bafu, so they both disliked Zhao Si very much.
"Oh, I see."
Su Xia was thoughtful.
The three of them continued forward, and soon arrived at the rich man's house and completed the transaction of the medicine.
Before leaving, the rich man gave each of them a red envelope of 300 yuan as a reward for their hard work.
Time quickly came to nine o'clock in the morning.
They rode back to the drugstore.
But before Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu could sit down, their father sent them out to deliver medicine.
As Su Xia was just getting started and needed a lot of practice, she stayed in the store.
After the two men left, Dad sat behind the counter as usual, brewing a cup of coffee, wearing small round glasses, picking up today's newspaper, and admonished Su Xia: "Don't disturb Dad. If you really don't understand something, just bear with it and wait for those two guys to come back and ask them."
"Teacher, do you know Zhao Si?"
"I know. What's wrong?"
"Zhao Si wants me to be your undercover agent." Su Xia walked to the counter and sat down. "After the task is completed, he promised that I will have endless wealth and glory."
"oh?"
Dad smiled and put down the newspaper in his hand.
He took a sip of coffee and asked, "Do you agree?"
"Of course I agree. With such good conditions, wouldn't I be a fool not to agree?"
"good!"
Dad was very satisfied with Su Xia's choice.
He casually threw out a key and said, "The basement hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Go clean it during this time. If you find some potion formulas, learn them yourself and don't tell me."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Su Xia was delighted and grabbed the key.
Another batch of good stuff is about to be harvested!
