Zhang Yunpeng nodded slightly, "Alright, do it as you suggested."
He imdiately called to notify his n to stop the search for Chen Xuan's whereabouts.
He instructed them all to stake out the dicine Market and wait for Chen Xuan to show up on his own.
...
Five days slipped by in no ti.
The pharmacy was already renovated; it didn't look very luxurious, just tidied up simply.
At least it looked very clean.
The shelves and Chinese dicine cabinets were all in place.
But they were empty, with nothing on them.
Chen Xuan brought Su Linlang and Xiao Yiyi over to check it out.
"Hmm, it looks quite genuine." Xiao Yiyi said with a grin, "Brother Xuan, when do you plan to open?"
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Once all the dicines arrive, we can open for business."
"What's on the floor above? What is it for?" Xiao Yiyi looked at the stairs, full of curiosity.
"Why don't you go up and see for yourself?"
Chen Xuan waved with a smile, "Co on, I'll take you up for a tour."
Su Linlang and Xiao Yiyi followed him to the second floor.
"Oh, it's actually a living space here."
Xiao Yiyi widened her eyes, "We can live here from now on and won't need to stay in hotel rooms anymore."
"That's right." Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, "There are four rooms in total, two bathrooms, and a kitchen."
"You two can pick a room you like."
Su Linlang didn't say much, she was quite easygoing on this matter, any room would do.
Xiao Yiyi checked each room, "This must be the master bedroom, it's the only room with a bathroom."
"Brother Xuan, this room is yours, I won't compete with you for it. Anyway, Linlang and I have the chance to rotate and sleep here."
"I'll choose the one next door. Linlang, which one do you pick?"
Su Linlang smiled lightly, "Anything is fine, I'll just randomly choose one."
The three stayed upstairs for a while, then went back downstairs to the ground floor.
"Living on the second floor, running a pharmacy on the first, not bad at all."
Xiao Yiyi said excitedly, "Brother Xuan, how many people do you plan to hire?"
"No need to hire anyone, just the three of us." Chen Xuan waved with a smile, "The nas of the herbs are already labeled on the cabinets; you can start familiarizing yourselves."
"When soone cos in for a consultation, I'll prescribe the herbs, and you just need to fetch them. Just make sure not to get the asurents wrong."
"No problem! We got it figured out." Xiao Yiyi patted her chest and nodded with a smile, "Shouldn't we do more marketing now?"
"No need." Chen Xuan waved, "Opening this pharmacy is just to find a place to stay and as a façade."
"If soone cos for treatnt, we'll welco them warmly. If not, it doesn't matter."
Xiao Yiyi shrugged, "This job is quite relaxed then, we are running a pharmacy at a loss."
Su Linlang shook her head with a smile, "Didn't Chen Xuan say, running a pharmacy isn't about making money."
"Yiyi, let's tidy up a bit and get familiar with the environnt."
The two stood in front of the Chinese dicine cabinet, morizing the nas on them very seriously.
Chen Xuan turned to Jin Jiu, "This afternoon, you can go to the dicine Market and transport that batch of herbs over."
"Alright, Master Chen." Jin Jiu replied.
He then made a call to Lin Wanxi, "Wanxi, everything's ready on my end. You can send the dicines over."
"That was quick, I thought it would at least be next week." Lin Wanxi replied with a laugh, "Okay, I'll arrange the shipnt now. It should arrive before nightfall."
"Alright, I'll have Jin Jiu pick it up by then." Chen Xuan nodded and ended the call.
Xiao Yiyi turned her head and asked, "By the way, Brother Xuan, what will our pharmacy be called?"
Without thinking, Chen Xuan blurted out, "Let's call it Chen's Pharmacy."
"Chen's Pharmacy? Sounds like it's an antique!" Xiao Yiyi teased, "Brother Xuan, you did this on purpose, giving it the impression of a century-old store."
Chen Xuan shook his head with a smile, "I just said it casually, it's not as complicated as you think."
"If you don't like the na, we can change it."
"No need to change it, I think it's quite good." Xiao Yiyi waved her hand, "What do you think, Linlang?"
"I have no objections, any na will do." Su Linlang grinned.
That afternoon, Jin Jiu notified the dicine Market to ship the stored herbs over.
The pharmacy proudly displayed the na 'Chen's Pharmacy' at the entrance.
"Brother Xuan, I think we shouldn't use LED to display it; we should replace it with a traditional plaque."
"That way, it gives off a more authentic century-old store vibe."
Xiao Yiyi looked at Chen Xuan, seeking his opinion.
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Sure Yiyi, you're quite good at marketing strategy."
"Let's go with your idea, have a plaque made to mimic an old brand."
Hehehe…
Xiao Yiyi was delighted that Chen Xuan took her suggestion, giving her a sense of contribution.
As the herbs left the dicine Market, Zhang Yunpeng imdiately got the information.
"Alright, follow them imdiately and see where those herbs are being delivered, report back to promptly!"
Zhang Yunpeng smirked, this ti he definitely wouldn't let Chen Xuan slip away…
