Manager Pang's face turned a little ugly: "Wangji already has such a rule. It seems that I am too lenient with you guys, so you guys ignore the rules of the herbal medicine store one by one!"

"Well, if you say there is one, then there is one. I shouldn't have paid this money." Wen Qingcheng sighed.

Manager Pang was a little embarrassed. He had never met such a handyman before. He actually dared to question him! Openly challenged his authority?

"Since you don't want to pay this money, you have two choices. Either pay the fine or get out!"

Qi Zhen hurriedly approached Wen Qingcheng and whispered, "Qingcheng, if you can't do it, just pay it. If you don't have money, you can deduct it from your salary. Registration is about to start, don't make any mistakes."

Wen Qingcheng was angry and aggrieved, her whole body trembling. She took a deep breath and thought over and over again in her mind: If you want to achieve great things, you must first endure humiliation... endure humiliation... What the hell!

"Manager Pang, I believe I have worked diligently since I started working here, and I respect you very much. Why do you keep targeting me? Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, there has never been any law that states that herbal medicine shops have the right to impose fines at will. I didn't know that Manager Pang has more power than the county magistrate."

Qi Zhen was so scared that she grabbed Wen Qingcheng and stopped her from speaking. Wen Qingcheng endured it, but the more she endured, the more Manager Pang felt that she was easy to control, and he never let her go.

Wen Qingcheng stared at Manager Pang with a pair of cold eyes and said sternly, "I sacrificed my own time yesterday and worked until nearly midnight. Not only did you not get paid, but you asked me to pay. How can this be justified in this world? I would like to ask Manager Pang, how do you plan to spend this money after you take it!"

"You! What nonsense are you talking about? Why do I need your money? This money is for Wang Ji. It's confiscated! It's to be used as charity funds to be distributed to poor and lonely elderly people. If you don't want to pay the fine, then leave!"

"Manager Pang is determined to get me out. Do you have any other plans? I was recruited by Wangji through a formal interview and assessment. Since Manager Pang wants to resign, I should explain the reason to Wangji."

Manager Pang's face turned green with anger. He had never met such a troublemaker before. This girl in front of him, who looked weak and would cry if she was scolded, was actually so difficult to deal with!

"Wen Qingcheng! Just because you talk back to the manager and show disrespect for your elders, Wang Ji can fire you!"

"How did I contradict you? Did I reveal your secrets?"

At this time, Manager Pang's blood pressure had soared to 180. She felt her chest was blocked and she was almost fainted from anger. This Wen Qingcheng actually dared to openly contradict her. Once she was taken away, she would make sure that all the pharmacies in the county would not let her stay. Let's see what she would do!

"Wen Qingcheng, let me ask you again, pay the fine or go to Wangji to retire, choose one of the two."

"I choose neither."

"You have to choose one! If you don't want to go to Wang's to retire on your own, that's fine too. I'll report it and deduct the money from your salary."

"Yesterday I didn't eat or drink, and worked overtime for free until nearly midnight. I left because I didn't wait for you to come back. So you want to deduct 500 coins from my salary?"

"Yeah, isn't it clear enough?" Manager Pang said impatiently.

"I understand. I just think that I left without saying hello to you yesterday. You can condemn me for being impolite from a moral perspective, but fining me 500 yuan is unreasonable."

Manager Pang glanced at the pharmacists present, all of whom focused their eyes on him and Wen Qingcheng, and said sternly, "Everyone else, go back to work." Then he looked at Wen Qingcheng again, "You delayed Wang Ji's work, and I punished you, but you still don't admit it?"

Wen Qingcheng knew that Manager Pang was determined to punish her, and it would be useless for her to back down or reason with him. "Manager Pang, I wonder if the 500 yuan fine should be given to you or to Wang Ji?"

"I told you, I don't want the money from you. The money is paid into Wang Ji Gong's account."

"Okay, then I'll go to Wang's to pay now." After Wen Qingcheng finished speaking, she turned around and went to the stable, rode a fast horse, and left the herbal medicine store.

Manager Pang didn't expect her to do this. Wangji didn't know the situation here, so they didn't have to ask her to pay the fine. "Wen Qingcheng, come back soon! If you don't come back, it will be considered as absenteeism!"

Manager Pang shouted at the gate for a long time, but Wen Qingcheng had already disappeared on horseback. Helplessly, he had to run out of the alley, hailed a carriage on the street, and headed straight to Wang's Pharmacy.

However, after Wen Qingcheng came out of the alley, she did not go towards the medicinal materials, but went straight to the Qihuang Patriarch Association.

......

Manager Pang went to Wangji but found nothing. He knew that Wen Qingcheng was just bluffing and had never come to Wangji. He could just use her as evidence to punish her for absenteeism. When he returned to the herbal medicine store, he didn't hear Wen Qingcheng riding in on a horse until noon.

Wen Qingcheng tied up the horse, fed it some hay, washed her hands, and went to the canteen. She got her meal, found Qi Zhen, and sat next to her.

Qi Zhen was surprised to see Wen Qingcheng coming back. "Qingcheng, you're back. Where have you been? I saw Manager Pang had come back a long time ago, and I didn't see you. I thought you..."

"Manager Pang? He went out this morning as well?"

"Yes, it seems that he went to Wang's Pharmacy to look for you. When he came back, his face was ashen. No one dared to provoke him in the whole morning. Didn't you run into him?"

"No, because I didn't go to the herbal medicine store at all."

Qi Zhen's eyes widened in surprise, "Then where did you go?"

Wen Qingcheng looked around and saw that there were many people in the cafeteria, so she whispered, "Eat first, and then we can talk in the dormitory later."

After lunch, Wen Qingcheng and Qi Zhen returned to the dormitory for a nap. Someone who had seen Wen Qingcheng coming back ran to tell Manager Pang as if to take credit.

"What? Wen Qingcheng came back at lunchtime and still had the nerve to go to the cafeteria to eat?" Manager Pang was so angry that his chest felt like it was blocked. He couldn't believe it. He had worked in Wang's for more than ten years and had gotten rid of so many opponents before he got the position of manager. He didn't believe that he couldn't deal with Wen Qingcheng?

Pang Guan went to the pharmacy angrily, grabbed a pharmacist in the courtyard, and asked him to call Wen Qingcheng to his study.

The pharmacist did not respond to his words, and said sternly: "Manager Pang, I was just about to look for you, the people from the Qihuang Patriarch Association are here."

"Qihuang Patriarch Association?" Manager Pang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the pharmacist who was speaking. "What are they doing here?"

Manager Pang was originally full of rage and was planning to severely punish Wen Qingcheng, but when he heard that people from the Qihuang Zushi Association had arrived, he immediately became like a deflated ball.

The Qihuang Zushi Association has great power. It is the superior of all pharmacies and medical clinics and is organized by the imperial court. It has control over the qualifications of medical clinics and drugstores, the assessment of pharmacists' qualifications, and the personnel of medical clinics and drugstores.

Manager Pang's face turned pale. Did Wen Qingcheng go to the Qihuang Patriarch Association to complain this morning? If the Qihuang Patriarch Association knew that he abused the pharmacist, they would definitely give him a serious warning. It was uncertain whether he would be qualified to apply for the intermediate pharmacist exam in the future.

Manager Pang gestured for the pharmacist to come closer and whispered, "Tell everyone to stop talking. I'll be right over."
