Pursing his lips, the manager stared at the newspaper on the table impatiently, thinking to himself that he would have to walk around the whole hall in order to get all the herbs that Lin Li asked for. Remaining seated, he pressed his finger against the sheet of paper, rubbed it back and forth twice, and cocked his head sideways as he glanced at Lin Li in contempt. "You want these herbs? Do you know how much they cost?"
"What do you think?" Lin Li asked with a frown as he thought to himself, Why do you have so much nonsense to say? Hurry up, get me the herbs I want and scram. It's none of my business even if you die sleeping.
"Hey, young man. You'd better be more pragmatic. You can't afford to be a pharmacist." The manager slid the piece of paper back to him and closed his eyes again in a bid to take a nap.
Lin Li slammed his hand against the table and urged, "Could you hurry and get me my herbs?"
Thud!
