Chapter 418: Interview

"Doctor Xiao Ji, aren't you going to prepare?" Zhai Yuhan walked up to Ji Xiang and asked.

Ji Xiang looked up and smiled, "I don't know what the teachers are going to ask, so there's no way to prepare."

The words were the truth, but everyone else was nervous to the bone, each one as silent as a cicada in winter, yet Ji Xiang remained nonchalant without the slightest change; this casual attitude made Zhai Yuhan somewhat unhappy.

At the very least, in terms of attitude, Ji Xiang was unqualified!

"Doctor Xiao Ji, you handed in your paper so early during the written exam; are you really that confident? I heard you got a perfect score and ranked first in the country on the Professional Medical Examination. That is indeed very impressive."

When Zhai Yuhan mentioned "impressive," her expression was cold, with absolutely no intention of offering praise.

"Teacher Zhai, I had already finished answering and checked it; there was no need to check it over and over again," Ji Xiang replied gently.

Zhai Yuhan pursed her lips and took out her phone to contact the examiner.

A perfect score and first place in the country on the Professional Medical Examination was indeed very impressive, and Zhai Yuhan admired it too; what she was dissatisfied with was Ji Xiang's attitude toward Hang Medical University Yi Fu Yuan.

The written exam, handing in the paper in 20 minutes—one could clearly see Ji Xiang's arrogance.

Still wanting to get a perfect score? A medical exam is not a math exam; wanting to get a perfect score depends on luck.

This time, Ji Xiang's luck surely wouldn't be very good.

【Boss, are the results out?】

Zhai Yuhan sent a message.

【They are out, it's quite surprising.】

Zhai Yuhan smiled; everyone had a keen interest in the Standardized Training Student who ranked first in the country with a perfect score on the Professional Medical Examination. Ji Xiang not taking it seriously at all—it was only logical that this would be surprising and disappointing.

【The score of the doctoral student Zhao Mengmeng is the lowest.】

"..." Zhai Yuhan was speechless.

【Ji Xiang, on the other hand, remained very consistent; he still got a perfect score.】

Seeing the last sentence, Zhai Yuhan suddenly became unsettled. She glanced at Ji Xiang, and just then, Ji Xiang looked up at her.

"Teacher, are the results out?" Ji Xiang seemed to see through everything.

Zhai Yuhan was momentarily at a loss for words.

She had originally wanted to speak with facts; even if Ji Xiang had ranked first, as long as it wasn't a perfect score, she could still "teach him a lesson."

But Ji Xiang had actually gotten a perfect score again!

Zhai Yuhan shook her head, "Not yet."

Ji Xiang revealed a smile. Just then, the first medical student to go in came out, and Zhai Yuhan immediately said, "Student Ji Xiang, it's your turn."

"Alright." Ji Xiang stood up, put his phone in his pocket, and walked with long strides into the conference room for the interview.

Entering the conference room, four doctors were sitting opposite him, aged approximately between 40 and 50; looking at their name tags, they were all Deputy Chief Physicians.

The Chief Physicians of Hang Medical University Yi Fu Yuan likely wouldn't come to participate in this kind of variety show; at most, they would show their faces to give the production team some face.

Ji Xiang sat on the chair, facing the four interviewing teachers, wearing a gentle smile.

It felt slightly strange, as if he were being interrogated.

"You are Ji Xiang, that Standardized Training Student who got a perfect score and ranked first in the country on this year's Professional Medical Examination?" one doctor asked, looking at Ji Xiang with great interest.

"Yes, teacher."

"Your results are good. Tell us why you didn't take the postgraduate or doctoral entrance exams, but chose to go straight into Standardized Residency Training instead."

"The instability of policy," Ji Xiang said.

"..."

"..."

Several of the interviewing professors and directors were taken aback.

"The Standardized Residency Training system is not yet perfect and changes a lot. It is possible that one might not need to do the training after finishing a postgraduate degree, but who can say for sure? Doing the training early, getting into clinical practice early, and becoming a real doctor—that is my thinking."

The interviewing doctors looked at each other; one of them smiled with difficulty, "Doctor Xiao Ji, you can't really put it that way."

"Indeed," Ji Xiang said seriously, "but a few years ago, when the training first started, many postgraduate students delayed three years because of it. There are time costs and risks here, and I want to avoid them as much as possible."

"If one gets through the training period, wanting to take the postgraduate exam is possible at any time."

Although the interviewing doctors didn't know much about the Standardized Residency Training system, what Ji Xiang said was true, and they had nothing to refute it with.

"Then, Doctor Xiao Ji, tell us why you wanted to study medicine."

"Studying medicine, it's a promise between me and my great-uncle," Ji Xiang said. When mentioning his great-uncle, a sincere smile appeared on his face.

Unlike before, Ji Xiang's smiles were usually sincere, but mostly out of politeness. When talking about this topic, his smile carried a hint of sweet memory.

It was just that the term "great-uncle" was unfamiliar to everyone.

"Can you elaborate?"

"It should be to treat illnesses and save lives," Ji Xiang replied.

Correct platitudes are very annoying; several of the interviewing teachers felt a bit helpless. But they overlooked the "should be" that Ji Xiang said, subconsciously assuming it was a useless, wordy description.

"Ji Yisheng Xiang, I heard that you already had your own provincial-level natural science project during your training period. Can you talk about it briefly?"

"First of all, the provincial natural science project isn't mine, teacher. The project belongs to Doctor Zhao Zhe, and I am responsible for assisting; I count as the second author," Ji Xiang said candidly. "If possible, I would like to introduce in the program the surgical technique and effects of performing an interventional surgery before a partial kidney resection."

"Doctor Xiao Ji, although it's not impossible to invite an expert to perform surgery at Hang Medical University Yi Fu Yuan, you have to demonstrate your own strength first," one doctor said playfully.

He was joking and didn't take what Ji Xiang said seriously at all.

A little intern wanting to perform surgery at the Affiliated Hospital, and even promote and popularize a New Surgical Technique—how was this any different from dreaming?

"Alright, teacher."

Next, the interviewing doctors asked a few more questions arranged by the program team; otherwise, what Ji Xiang had just said wouldn't be able to be edited into the program at all, and there would be gaps.

Facing the routine questions, Ji Xiang gave very calm and conventional answers.

The interview ended, the Attending Professors who conducted the interview left quickly, and Zhai Yuhan began to arrange the clinical rotation.

"Ji Xiang, you and Zhao Mengmeng are in a group; go to Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery," Zhai Yuhan said.

It doesn't matter who I'm grouped with, but why is it Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery instead of the Urology Department?

Ji Xiang raised his hand.

Zhai Yuhan gave Ji Xiang a stern look, "Doctor Xiao Ji, this is the result of the interview."

Ji Xiang frowned slightly, looked at Zhai Yuhan's name tag, and asked, "Teacher Zhai, may I ask if you are the Resident Chief of the Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery?"

"Yes, the internship begins; I will take you and Zhao Mengmeng to get in touch with Clinical work."

As she spoke, Zhai Yuhan smiled slightly, "Doctor Xiao Ji, I hope you won't let me down."

"Understood, Teacher." Ji Xiang seemed not to hear Zhai Yuhan's impatience; he remained the same as before, with his signature smile and bland, uninteresting reply.

After arranging everything, several doctors were sent to the Neurosurgery Department, Circulatory Internal Medicine Department, and Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery.

Leaving Ji Xiang and Zhao Mengmeng to familiarize themselves with the operating system first, Zhai Yuhan walked out of the office and stormed into the Director's office.

"Boss, this program cannot be done!"
