Xu Qingxue was only a few years older than him. So young and not even a college graduate, she definitely wasn't a Potion Master, most likely just an assistant.

Of course, with the surname Xu, she must be related to Xu Xiaoyu.

However, a Potion Master is an indispensable force for an elixir company.

Even Xu Qingxue had to take them seriously.

"What do you want?" Xu Qingxue frowned.

"At the very least, you should apologize. From the start, you looked down on me, and nobody would stand for that."

Chen Shu said calmly.

You ignored me back then, now you can't reach me.

"Besides, I can actually try to brew both mid-grade and high-grade Strength Elixirs, I'm just not familiar with it yet."

His words instantly made Xu Qingxue's expression change slightly.

Before she could speak, the Potion Master beside her exclaimed.

"You can brew high-grade Strength Elixirs?"

"Of course, it's easy, just need hands." Chen Shu said with a smile.

Xu Qingxue's eyes showed hesitation, but finally, she made a decisive decision.

"Fine! I apologize, but if you're lying to me, don't think about staying in the company."

"Is this the attitude of someone apologizing?" Chen Shu frowned slightly.

"I'm... I'm sorry..." Xu Qingxue said, lowering her head.

"What? I can't hear you clearly without my glasses." Chen Shu rubbed his eyes.

What does wearing glasses have to do with your hearing!

Xu Qingxue knew this was intentionally making things difficult for her, but talents like Chen Shu were more important to the company.

Even if the higher-ups came, she would have to be the one to back down.

"I apologize for my behavior, please forgive me, Mr. Chen!"

Xu Qingxue took a deep breath and finally said sincerely.

"Hmm, that's more like it."

Chen Shu didn't make it too difficult for her. After all, she was a Xu, and offending her completely would create a rift with Xu Xiaoyu.

"But I'm just here for two months during the summer, as a temporary worker. You can decide my salary."

Chen Shu said, not really caring about the salary.

His real goal was the Strength Elixir. While others could only brew five bottles at a time, he could brew thirteen.

As long as he secretly kept eight bottles each time, their value would be forty thousand, making the salary seem insignificant.

"Alright! I'll draft the contract. Each Potion Master has a minimum daily output of five bottles, which shouldn't be a problem for you." Xu Qingxue said.

The company doesn't support idlers, so there's a set output requirement. If you can't meet it, you'll be asked to leave.

For Chen Shu, five bottles were achievable with just one successful brew.

"No problem at all." Chen Shu nodded.

"Can I start working these three days? Daily wages are fine."

"Of course." Xu Qingxue turned and left the potion brewing department.

Although Xu Qingxue was cold, her efficiency was quite good.

She quickly drafted a contract specifically for Chen Shu.

His position was just a Potion Master Assistant because Chen Shu hadn't obtained the Potion Master certificate.

But the salary was at the level of a Potion Master, with a daily income of a thousand coins.

Though it sounded like a lot, the profit from five bottles of Strength Elixir was about five thousand coins.

This meant the company took 80%, and the Potion Master got 20%.

Of course, the contract had an attractive point:

If you could brew more than five bottles from one batch, the excess elixirs belonged to the Potion Master. Therefore, no potion room had surveillance installed.

As long as you could provide five bottles a day, nothing else mattered.

The company might be greedy, but it left room for high-level Potion Masters to earn money.

If you couldn't make money, it only showed your potion brewing skills were lacking.

With this contract, both the company and the Potion Master profited, truly a win-win situation.

Chen Shu didn't hesitate and signed the contract with the company.

Because he had the ability to brew independently, the company prepared a separate potion room just for him.

As for those who shared a potion room, they were mostly newly graduated intern Potion Masters.

With the system's golden finger, Chen Shu's starting point was much higher than others.

As long as he kept unlocking new potion recipes, theoretically, he could easily become the world's top Potion Master.

In one afternoon, others could generally only succeed once, just enough for five bottles.

Brewing elixirs was extremely mentally and intellectually taxing, and most Potion Masters in their thirties were already balding.

But on Chen Shu's desk, there were a full twenty bottles of elixir.

"Not bad!" Chen Shu clapped his hands.

The system space already held forty bottles of Strength Elixir, much faster than robbing money.

"Xiao Mao, help me apply for a fifth batch of materials, I want to brew another batch." The assistant at the door walked in, eyes full of disbelief.

"Master Chen, aren't you tired?"

"Not at all, I'm feeling great! What's up?" Chen Shu looked at Xiao Mao, who was in charge of preparing his materials.

"The company has run out of stock of Strength Flowers..."

"Out of stock? How can there be so few!" Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, surprised that the company was limiting his performance.

At this moment, a stern-looking middle-aged man walked in, followed by a delicate-looking girl.

It was none other than the top student, Xu Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, why are you here?" Chen Shu smiled.

"I'm here with my uncle." Xu Xiaoyu said.

"This is your classmate, right? Truly a young hero!" The middle-aged man next to Xiaoyu exclaimed, "I'm Xiaoyu's uncle, Zhou Cheng, nice to meet you!"

"Uncle Zhou, you have a keen eye!" Chen Shu shook hands with him amicably.

"I heard you successfully brewed the Strength Elixir four times this afternoon?" Zhou Cheng said, still incredulous.

This novel is available on "pawread dot com".

"Just basic operations, no big deal!"

Chen Shu waved his hand, looking calm and composed.

Everyone had only one thought: Damn, he really pulled it off!

After a while, Zhou Cheng spoke, "In that case, you'll be the sole brewer of the Strength Elixir for now, but the company can only provide three batches of materials per day."

The main ingredient, the Strength Flower, was produced in the Dimensional Realm. The 666 Elixir Company was just a major company in Nanjiang City and didn't have the qualifications to purchase large quantities of Strength Flowers.

Three Strength Flowers were the maximum they could obtain daily.

Moreover, the company's products included various elixirs, not just the Strength Elixir, so they couldn't allocate all their resources to it.

"No problem."

Chen Shu nodded. Three batches of Strength Flowers would allow him to gain an additional twenty-four bottles of Strength Elixir,

equating to a daily income of one hundred thousand Huaxia Coins, which was probably equivalent to a high-level Potion Master.

"Alright, Xiao Chen, I'll double your daily wage, and it can be settled on the same day."

Zhou Cheng smiled, not expecting the company to gain such talent today.

With just a monthly expenditure of sixty thousand, they could earn hundreds of thousands in return, a lucrative deal for any businessman.

"I wonder if Xiao Chen has considered becoming a professional Potion Master? The company can offer long-term employment with a salary and benefits that will surely satisfy you." Zhou Cheng said eagerly.

At this moment, options appeared again before Chen Shu's eyes.
