Chapter 57: Competition, Stepping onto the Stage“Hello, everyone!” Zhu Zhi’an took the stage, standing tall, confident, and commanding.
Applause erupted in the venue.
Lin Feng noticed that the class monitor, vice monitor Shen Qiu and Feng Yuya, and other outstanding students in their class, along with talented students from other classes, were all looking at Zhu Zhi’an with admiration.
Lin Feng felt puzzled. He realized that Senior Zhu was ostensibly sharing his experiences but was showing off his achievements. He recounted his research accomplishments, published papers, and encounters with influential people to convey that his hard work had led him to a superior platform, stronger medical connections, and greater development. He encouraged the junior students to strive to catch up with him, even though they couldn’t.
As Zhu Zhi’an finished his speech, the applause was enthusiastic. Zhu Zhi’an felt proud, thinking his efforts to show off were not in vain. Suddenly, he noticed Lin Feng, who stood out among the crowd with his striking appearance. Lin Feng was so handsome and outstanding that he couldn’t help but notice him.
Zhu Zhi’an thought, “Damn, there’s someone even more handsome than me!”
His inner satisfaction from showing off diminished instantly. The competition officially began at 10:00 AM in the teaching building. To maintain confidentiality, no one was allowed to bring mobile phones into the exam room, including candidates, judges, and logistical staff. There were no written exams; all assessments were practical. The exams were conducted in isolation, and the school provided standardized competition topics with detailed scoring criteria based on students’ performance.
……
“Teams 1-20, enter the exam room… Teams 21-40, prepare…”
After 15 minutes…
“Teams 21-40, enter the exam room… Teams 41-60, prepare…”
After 30 minutes…
“Teams 41-60, enter the exam room… Teams 61-80, prepare…”
Lin Feng, Zhao Silu, and Wang Qiang stood up.
Lin Feng said, “It’s our turn. Let’s go, and strive for first place!”
Wang Qiang asked, “Huh? First place? Is our goal that high?”
Lin Feng replied confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ve got this!”
Lin Feng’s team arrived at examination room number 6.
They entered.
“Damn it!”
Lin Feng was shocked. He recognized two familiar faces:
Zhu Zhi’an, a senior from the school and the self-proclaimed king of showing off.
Zhang Fan, a provincial Duck University Hospital surgeon, had witnessed Lin Feng’s surgical talent. Upon seeing Lin Feng, Zhu Zhi’an frowned and appeared disgusted.
On the other hand, Zhang Fan, the surgeon, became enthusiastic upon seeing Lin Feng and even invited him for a meal.
Lin Feng thought it was another attempt to recruit him. Liu Jian, another judge, was curious about Zhang Fan’s sudden change in attitude towards Lin Feng.
Zhang Fan explained that Lin Feng was incredibly talented, having performed high-difficulty surgeries during his internship. This surprised Liu Jian, who couldn’t believe it.
Lin Feng’s teammates, Wang Qiang and Zhao Silu were also puzzled by the judge’s familiarity with Lin Feng.
The competition started with a 7-minute countdown. A medical question appeared in front of Lin Feng’s team.
