Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 6: Some Things I Hold Sacred
Although Raozhou was the capital of the Chengyu Lord Kingdom, there were not many pharmaceutical assistants, and even fewer pharmacists.
Even the few pharmaceutical assistants were mostly elderly men. A young pharmaceutical assistant like Mo Wuji was a rare sight, not only in the Chengyu Lord Kingdom but even in the Xinghan Empire. Such a young pharmaceutical assistant possessed immense potential and an unlimited future. It could be said that, barring unforeseen circumstances, Mo Wuji would definitely become a true pharmacist in a few decades.
"The original of the pharmaceutical assistant qualification certificate?" Mo Wuji's heart sank. He needed that? Where would he get such a thing?
He subconsciously glanced at the admiring, even doubtful, gazes around him and finally understood something. He coughed and continued casually, "I haven't had time to take the pharmaceutical assistant exam yet, but I have already reached the level of a pharmaceutical assistant."
A wave of groans swept through the crowd. Mo Wuji clearly felt a change in the gazes directed at him.
The recruiter's expression darkened, and the cautious look on her face vanished without a trace. She still didn't get angry, but calmly asked, "Then which academy did you graduate from in the pharmaceutical major? Which pharmaceutical senior is your mentor?"
Mo Wuji's gaze swept around again, and he finally noticed that many applicants seemed to be holding a small booklet. He saw that the booklet held by the applicant closest to him read, "Raozhou Mining Research Academy Completion Certificate."
This time, it was Mo Wuji's turn to groan. He didn't expect that applying for a job here, like on Earth, required a graduation certificate as a stepping stone. It seemed that even if he applied for other jobs, he wouldn't get anywhere without a graduation certificate.
Seeing the middle-aged woman's expression becoming increasingly unpleasant, Mo Wuji had no choice but to smile awkwardly. "Well... I'm self-taught at home, so I don't have a completion certificate or a mentor."
"Hahaha..." This time, someone finally laughed out loud. So this pharmaceutical assistant who had impressed everyone was just a bragging joker.
The recruiter from the Chengling Jidan Workshop didn't laugh, but her face was terribly gloomy. The Chengling Jidan Workshop was one of the top pharmaceutical workshops in the entire Chengyu Lord Kingdom, and someone dared to come here and mock her.
Seeing the middle-aged woman's ugly expression, as if she was about to erupt, Mo Wuji felt that things were not good. Just then, an abrupt voice interrupted Mo Wuji, who was about to speak. "Oh, isn't this our King? My King, why is my King here at the guild in person? Don't you have to go to court in the woods outside the city today? Oh, right, my King is here to inspect. Look at me, I'm really impolite, I must quickly pay my respects to the King."
The tone was sarcastic and frivolous, with not a trace of the politeness he spoke of.
Mo Wuji turned around and saw a young man in casual gray clothes walking over. He had seen this man before, one of the young men and women who seemed to be with Wen Manzhu last night. He was quite handsome, but looked a bit flashy.
"He is that Beiqin County Kingdom's..." The recruiting middle-aged woman suddenly understood, and the anger on her face disappeared. What was the point of being angry with someone who was not mentally sound?
The onlookers laughed even harder, clearly thinking that Mo Wuji was here to be a joke.
"Zhao Xu, do you find it very funny?" A cold voice rang out, and the laughter in the guild suddenly stopped, as if it had been turned off.
A young girl in a purple dress stood at the entrance of the guild. The girl's slender waist and long hair, and pretty face made the entire guild pale in comparison. These were not the main points. The main point was that most people knew this girl. She was Wen Manzhu, the only daughter of Wen Ju, the Rao Xian County Marquis of Chengyu Lord Kingdom.
A county marquis was like a drop of water in the ocean in the entire Xinghan Empire, nothing at all. But in this guild in Raozhou, he definitely had the most top-level weight.
"Manzhu..." Zhao Xu called out awkwardly, but because of Wen Manzhu's ugly face, he didn't dare to continue. He felt a little regretful because he hadn't seen Wen Manzhu coming over just now, and the good impression he had left on Wen Manzhu was ruined. He had once evaluated Mo Wuji in front of Wen Manzhu, saying that Mo Wuji was excusable. Today's sarcasm exposed his true colors.
Wen Manzhu ignored Zhao Xu, but walked to Mo Wuji and took out a cloth bag and handed it to Mo Wuji, "Xinghe, take this back to Yan'er."
The tinkling sound emitted from the cloth bag told Mo Wuji that it was the clinking of gold coins. For Mo Wuji, who urgently needed money, not to mention so many gold coins, even a single silver coin was something he extremely craved.
Mo Wuji had neither goodwill nor dislike for Wen Manzhu. He wouldn't feel angry at her abandoning the down-and-out, even mad, Mo Xinghe. There were too many such people on Earth, too realistic. If the Mo family was down and out and Mo Xinghe went mad, and Wen Manzhu still didn't abandon him, that would be strange. There were too many people in this world who could share wealth and glory, but how many could share hardship?
Because of his own experience and the experience of the previous owner of the body, he had no interest in making friends with women like Wen Manzhu. No matter how beautiful Wen Manzhu was, he didn't want to get involved with such a woman. He craved money, but he wouldn't take money from this woman, Wen Manzhu. He, Mo Wuji, had Mo Wuji's way of survival, he had his pride.
Mo Wuji thought of Yan'er, Yan'er never abandoned him. How many girls like Yan'er were there? To meet one in a lifetime was something that was obtained by knocking on countless wooden fish. Having experienced it, Mo Wuji understood even more clearly how precious this was.
"Since it's for Yan'er, then you should give it to her yourself." Mo Wuji finished speaking and turned to leave. After walking two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back again, "By the way, my name is Mo Wuji, not Mo Xinghe. Wuji from 'unscrupulous,' of course, I am not unscrupulous, and there are some things that I am very wary of."
Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Wen Manzhu had a moment of palpitation. Had he changed his name? Seeing that Mo Wuji was about to leave, she reacted and quickly called out, "Xinghe... Wuji, Yan'er doesn't want to accept it, you take it to..."
Yan'er doesn't want to accept it? Mo Wuji suddenly wanted to laugh. This girl had my temper, good, very good.
"The Wen family's ore refinery workshop needs to hire people, if you are interested, you can go to..." Wen Manzhu suddenly had a feeling from the bottom of her heart, the Mo Xinghe in front of her, no, Mo Wuji, was no longer the decadent, crazy, down-and-out prince dreaming of becoming a county king. He had changed, and she clearly felt the other party's arrogance of not giving a damn about high official positions.
Mo Wuji stopped again, and he looked at Wen Manzhu and said, "I laugh loudly and go out the door, how can we be ore refiners? Even that pharmaceutical assistant I am too lazy to do, if I do it, I will be a pharmacist."
"Hahaha..." After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he laughed loudly, showing unrestrained heroism.
He was not deliberately heroic, but had a feeling in his heart. Compared to the woman who plotted against him, Wen Manzhu was many times better. It was a pity that he had devoted himself to biochemical pharmaceutical research, and didn't even know what kind of woman he was with.
Reborn in this life, he, Mo Wuji, would never allow such a thing to happen again, never allow it.
"Haha..." The guild hall once again burst into laughter, obviously no one thought that Mo Wuji's words were true. More people thought that Mo Wuji had not recovered, but the direction of his madness had changed from county king to pharmacist.
If there was a glimmer of hope for Mo Wuji to become a county king, then there was no hope for him to become a pharmacist.
