Chapter 416: Who Is the Real Top Student?

Early the next morning, the Camera Crew came to pick up Ji Xiang to go to the First Affiliated Hospital for an "interview" and a "written test."

Before the interview was the written test segment. Ji Xiang arrived at the small conference room and saw that several young doctors had already arrived inside, with the camera team standing in the corner behind them.

Facing the lenses, these young people seemed to feel immense pressure; their behavior was quite unnatural, and their movements were somewhat stiff.

Ji Xiang entered the room, smiled, bowed slightly, and introduced himself.

"Hello everyone, I am Ji Xiang, a Standardized Training Doctor from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Baiyi University."

The girl sitting by the window turned her head, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Having a high level of attractiveness was indeed a huge advantage; Ji Xiang was tall and broad-shouldered, full of vigor, his clothes were well-tailored, and his speech was poised and natural—every one of these was a plus.

Even the cameramen had no complaints about Ji Xiang, secretly giving him a thumbs-up.

……

……

"This kid is not bad."

In the Review Room, five specially invited guests from the entertainment industry sat in a circle, watching the real-time transmitted footage and commenting on everyone.

Upon seeing Ji Xiang, everyone's eyes lit up at once.

"He speaks very appropriately, and he looks like someone from the entertainment industry... Could this person be a temporary actor hired for the show? Which trainee is he? It's rare to see a regular person look this polished."

"Most people are very nervous when facing a camera for the first time, especially when participating in a reality show. The first time I faced the long lenses and short cannons, I almost lost my voice. But this young man is very accustomed to it; he isn't restrained at all."

"Hahaha."

In the Review Room, the guests chatted and laughed.

This was only the beginning; watching the interns like white mice in a cage, they were all guessing when this group of young people would make a fool of themselves or try to curry favor.

……

……

After sitting down, Ji Xiang felt bored. If he weren't pondering how to promote the New Surgical Technique, Ji Xiang would have considered participating in such a program a complete waste of time and life.

Not knowing what he was supposed to do next, this was also Ji Xiang's first time participating in a variety show, and he felt a little bit of confusion inside.

"Classmate, here is some water."

A bottle of pure water was handed over; the fingers were very white and long.

"Thank you." Ji Xiang took the water and smiled sideways.

As he raised his hand to unscrew the cap, Ji Xiang suddenly discovered that the cap was already open; that girl had thoughtfully "helped" him unscrew it.

This was a bit too thoughtful, but Ji Xiang wasn't surprised. Back in school, when playing basketball, there would be a queue of people wanting to bring him water, and there were even many petty rivalries between girls over who would get to deliver it.

It was just that Ji Xiang never cared.

The other single guys watched, dumbfounded; this serving of "dog food" had come too suddenly.

And that delicate girl seemed to have just remembered there were cameras, and her face turned red in a flash.

Ji Xiang, however, didn't think anything of it; he took a sip of water and waited quietly for the teacher to arrive.

"Classmate, is your name Ji Xiang?" a young male doctor leaned over and asked.

"Yes, what is your surname?"

"That's not important," the young male doctor said. "Ji Xiang, this name sounds very familiar. The perfect-score paper for this year's Professional Medical Examination... was it yours?"

"It was." Ji Xiang nodded.

"Damn, that's awesome! I've really met a master this time." The young male doctor looked full of admiration and gave a thumbs-up.

"What? You are that Ji Xiang who got the national top score?"

"A perfect score! How did you answer it!!"

"Let's take a photo, let's take a photo, so I can brag to my classmates when I go back."

Hearing that Ji Xiang was that god-like person with the perfect score, the other young doctors swarmed over, and the oppressive atmosphere in the conference room vanished completely.

……

……

In the Review Room, the guests watched in astonishment as the young people suddenly became familiar with each other. One asked in surprise, "Mao Mao, is it that easy to get a perfect score on the Practicing Certificate exam for you doctors and nurses?"

"A perfect score? I've never heard of such a thing." The bespectacled male star frowned in confusion.

He had graduated with a nursing degree and debuted through a talent show; he was steady and experienced, and quite popular with the public. Because this reality show was related to medicine, inviting Mao Mao was appropriate.

Mao Mao thought hard for a long time and shook his head. "Just passing is good enough. A perfect score? That's not even something you'd dare to imagine."

"Is there really a perfect score? I didn't expect a top-student doctor to show up."

"Let me look at Ji Xiang's profile."

A stack of documents was laid out, and the few of them took a look. "An undergraduate? How is he only an undergraduate graduate?!"

"That's right, the worst of the others are graduate students currently in school, and there are even two with Doctor of Philosophy degrees."

"That person named Shen Zizai is a graduate student from the First Affiliated Hospital's own system and has been working at the First Affiliated Hospital for over a year. Can't they get high scores when they take the Professional Medical Examination?"

"Zhao Mengmeng seems to be a Doctor of Philosophy. I see the look in her eyes is off; who exactly is the top student?"

Several guests watched in confusion as the young doctors on the screen gathered around Ji Xiang, asking one thing after another, looking excited, and they were all somewhat puzzled.

Ji Xiang, who had the lowest academic qualifications, had become the top student; this sense of displacement left everyone speechless.

……

Ji Xiang felt a little embarrassed; he wished he could use that ridiculous skill, 【Superior Doctor's Gaze】, to glare this group of people away fiercely.

This skill would definitely be useful on them, but Ji Xiang hesitated again and again, and in the end, he held back.

"Knock, knock~"

A knocking sound came, and then a female doctor in her thirties pushed the door open and entered.

Her name tag read Zhai Yuhan, and her title was Attending Physician.

"Hello, students." Zhai Yuhan glanced at the messy conference room with slight dissatisfaction, but she did not explode in front of the camera, instead offering a flat greeting.

"Hello, teacher."

Several young Doctors returned to their seats one after another.

"The probationary period for this recruitment is two weeks," Zhai Yuhan said, sweeping her sharp gaze over the young Doctors present. "I believe you know this is a very good opportunity, and I hope everyone can seize it."

The young people's faces showed both hope and anxiety.

Zhai Yuhan did not dawdle and continued, "First is the written test, then the department assignment, where you will go to the departments in pairs for internships."

Next, she began to distribute the test papers.

Having to take another exam made Ji Xiang scratch his head; he had thought that coming to Hang Yi Da Yi Fu Yuan would mean going straight to Clinical work, and he hadn't expected it to be so formal, with written tests and interview stages.

Perhaps this was also for the sake of the show's effect.

Ji Xiang took the test paper, stopped pondering boring things like the show, and began to answer the questions.

As an excellent "small-town test-taker," Ji Xiang could not accept having a test in front of him and not taking it.

The questions were not difficult, at least relatively simple compared to the Professional Medical Examination. Twenty minutes later, Ji Xiang raised his hand to submit his paper.

Zhai Yuhan frowned as she looked at Ji Xiang; one could tell from her expression her impatience with this reality show.

Perhaps it was the hospital leadership's intention that an Attending Physician with such an outstanding temperament as Zhai Yuhan was pushed to the front to appear on camera.

"Finished?" Zhai Yuhan looked at Ji Xiang.

"Yes."

Zhai Yuhan picked up Ji Xiang's test paper and scanned it.

"Are you sure you don't want to check it again?"
