The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2544 You're making others seem lazy!

Inside the alchemy room, the alchemical fire rose, and Lin Chen sat cross-legged, intently controlling the fire, while the medicinal liquid surged and churned within it.

"boom!"

The lid of the alchemy furnace flew off, and several crystal-clear pills flew out of the furnace and landed on the porcelain plate.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Someone come here!"

Two alchemy apprentices respectfully entered, separated the pills from the porcelain plate into porcelain bottles, and helped Lin Chen clean up the mess after refining the pills.

Lin Chen stood up and walked out of the house.

The maid standing at the door said respectfully, "Master, while you were refining pills, Alchemists Zhao Mingliang and Yang Minghe came to visit. Upon hearing that you were refining pills, they left, saying they would come to visit another day."

Lin Chen hummed in agreement, not taking the matter to heart.

This is the Wei family's headquarters, which has attracted many elites from all walks of life, such as alchemists and weapon refiners, to refine magical treasures and pills for the entire Wei family force.

These people are similar to industry experts hired by the Wei family at high salaries. Although they belong to the Wei family's power and bear the Wei family's label, the Wei family mainly tries to win them over. As long as these people's abilities can be used by the Wei family, their loyalty is not important.

As long as the Wei family exists, once they enter the Wei family's gate, would they dare to go to other forces?

Don't want to live anymore?

Lin Chen came to the Wei family and immediately asked for the Hidden Divine Jade Stem, precisely because he had his eye on the Wei family's way of doing things.

As long as I demonstrate sufficient ability, the Wei family will be willing to offer enough benefits to win me over!
These things need to be said from the beginning; otherwise, once you've joined, the other party might not be willing to agree immediately if you try to ask for it.

Lin Chen's initial statement was that he was willing to give up any treatment and could work hard to refine pills for him, but he wanted the Hidden Divine White Jade Stem. That was his only condition. Since you wanted to recruit him, how could you refuse even this one condition?

Lin Chen's prediction was correct. After he demonstrated his extraordinary value by refining the White God Pill, a high-level pill that was extremely difficult to make, Wei Mingxuan indeed agreed to ask the Yuwen family for it on Lin Chen's behalf.

Lin Chen has been staying with the Wei family for three months. He focuses on refining pills every day, and his efficiency is terrifying, perfectly proving his ability.

He must prove to Wei Mingxuan with excellent results that he is absolutely valuable, so that Wei Mingxuan will take this matter to heart and retrieve the Hidden Divine Jade Stem for him.

Although Lin Chen could wait for Fan Tianxing and Shangguan Wenyin to successfully set things right, he was afraid of unforeseen circumstances. Besides, why should he owe others a favor when he could do it himself?
The Wei family has many alchemists, including many powerful high-level alchemists, but Lin Chen is unique in his cunning.

As Lin Chen's reputation grew within the Wei family's alchemist circle, he began to receive visitors one after another.

The people who visited Lin Chen had different attitudes and purposes. Lin Chen avoided these visits whenever possible, since he had no intention of building any relationships with them. Too much interaction might only bring trouble.

He only wanted to quietly refine pills and make a name for himself. Once he got his hands on the Hidden Divine Jade Stem, he could mysteriously disappear.

Lin Chen sat on a chair in the courtyard, pondering to himself, "The three-month deadline has arrived. Wei Mingxuan should be going to the Yuwen family soon, right?"

Should I find an opportunity to remind them, so they don't forget?

After all, if the other party forgets about it for a moment and apologizes, saying it will happen next time, it's not easy to turn against them, is it?

Since the other party is the head of the household, I can only be considered a retainer.

Just as Lin Chen was pondering, footsteps sounded, and the maid returned, followed by an old man with white hair.

This white-haired old man was Qin Cheng, the manager of the Alchemist Garden. He was also a high-level alchemist in charge of all the alchemists in the Wei family. He was the one who accompanied Wei Mingxuan to examine Lin Chen that day.

Lin Chen quickly stood up from his chair, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Manager Qin!"

Qin Cheng smiled gently and asked, "Just finished refining pills?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Yes, I just finished refining a batch of White God Pills. They are cleaning up the furnace, so I took the opportunity to rest for a bit."

Qin Cheng pointed at Lin Chen and laughed, "You don't need to work so hard. There's still plenty of time. We can take it slow. If you keep pushing yourself like this, it makes the other alchemists seem lazy."

Lin Chen smiled憨厚ly: "I just want to refine more pills and prove myself to the family head."

Qin Cheng chuckled and said, "I have seen your efforts and have praised you to the family head many times."

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Steward Qin, for speaking up for me!"

Qin Cheng replied, "I've come to see you this time because there's something I need to discuss..."

Lin Chen replied without hesitation, "Manager Qin, please give your orders!"

Qin Cheng smiled and said, "The patriarch is preparing to go to the Yuwen family and needs a skilled alchemist to accompany him. Originally, I was chosen, but I have some matters to attend to and cannot get away for the time being, so I recommended you to the patriarch."
