Brian had just sat down when he received a call from Melvin.

“Mr. Brian, Miss Sherman had a good appetite today. She finished all the soup that was prepared for her.”

Brian responded with a faint “Hmm” and then asked, “How are her feet?”

At around 4:30 in the afternoon, his phone suddenly received a call from the merchant.

“Hello, Mr. Brian, this is Seven Star Pharmacy. We noticed that you gave us a negative review. May I inquire about the reason for your dissatisfaction?”

Brian paused with his fingers on the mouse, then leaned back in his chair and coolly said, “Your medication is completely ineffective!”

They went on to request him to consider removing the

review.

Brian responded sarcastically, “If you still want to run a pharmacy, stop bothering with phone calls!”
