Chapter 86: Give Her One!

"Bai Chuzhang, why?" Ji Xiang was stunned.

What kind of talk was this?

Although he didn't have a Physician Practice Certificate, he was a Standardized Training Doctor after all; what kind of nursing competition was he participating in?

If he were participating in a doctor's competition, even if Dean Zhao had put in a good word beforehand and there were people pulling strings behind the scenes, he would at least get second place.

The reward might be small, but it was better than nothing. Ji Xiang had a clear judgment on this, and he didn't intend to flip the table just for a grand competition.

But Bai Chuzhang wanted him to come away with nothing at all.

Ji Xiang's impression of this person suddenly plummeted.

"A teacher from the National Nursing Association is coming to the Provincial Hospital to visit, and they just happened to hear about the competition and took an interest in coming to see it," Bai Chuzhang explained indifferently. "We are short one person."

One could lose, but one could not let people think the Second Affiliated Hospital lacked basic respect; Ji Xiang had already heard the subtext in Bai Chuzhang's words.

"Can I refuse?"

"No," Bai Chuzhang said decisively. "It's just a grand competition, no need to be so serious. But if you really don't want to go, I'll find someone else."

Bai Chuzhang stared at Ji Xiang, his gaze very gentle, yet Ji Xiang subconsciously sensed something was wrong.

Although the person before him was full of scholarly air, Ji Xiang sensed danger.

Bai Chuzhang had left many things unsaid, and Ji Xiang could only guess—if you agree, I'll count your medical record audits for these three years as passed; but if you don't go, wait for the Medical Affairs Department to check your medical records at every moment.

During his internship, Ji Xiang had heard his Attending Teacher's various evaluations of the Medical Affairs Department.

The nicer ones were like the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the worse ones turned directly into the Eastern and Western Depots.

In short, there were no good adjectives for the Medical Affairs Department.

"All... right." Ji Xiang agreed helplessly.

This matter wasn't worth solving by going to his family; Ji Xiang just felt it was a pity about that System Task.

Bai Chuzhang was quite satisfied; he patted Ji Xiang on the shoulder. "Go back to your Standardized Residency Training; if there's anything you can't solve, come find me."

"Thank you, Bai Chuzhang."

Ji Xiang was taken to the place for the nursing exam. With 10 minutes left before the exam, Tang Yan was nervously cramming and looked at Ji Xiang in astonishment as he entered.

"Hey! You!" Tang Yan widened her eyes and looked at Ji Xiang in surprise.

"The exam. I'm participating in the nursing group competition; didn't you guys lack one person?" Ji Xiang said helplessly.

Tang Yan wasn't stupid; she understood what was going on in an instant. The expression on her face went from confusion and shock to joy in less than 1 second—it was absolutely brilliant.

"Young man, the nursing profession is really great. You have to work hard; I'm rooting for you."

Ji Xiang took Tang Yan's study materials and flipped through them with a look of despair.

Supposedly, with the benefits given by Bai Chuzhang, any Standardized Training Student would have received full compensation, but Ji Xiang didn't want it.

"Nursing is great. Things like exams happen every moment, every year; it's just right for a top student like you."

"The exams and inspections are almost perverted. Theoretical exams, practical exams, quarterly exams, competition exams, the 512 Nurses' Day exam—damn it, there's even an exam during the New Year! Can you believe it?"

"Weekly small inspections, monthly big inspections, nursing documentation inspections, ward inspections, treatment room inspections, quarterly inspections, annual inspections, Head Nurse inspections, Director inspections."

"They ask questions during inspections, and if you're wrong, they deduct money. Every week, there's also the study and assessment of new business."

"How about it? Are you super envious?"

Tang Yan said a whole lot as if she were reciting a tongue twister.

"..." Ji Xiang sighed. He decided to ignore this girl and began to quickly flip through Tang Yan's materials, scanning the pages ten lines at a time.

"What's wrong? Want to perform a 'glancing at a stele while riding a horse' for me? Hahaha, finally I get to see you doctors taste the torture of those menopausal old perverts."

"It's a pity you're just a small Standardized Training Student; it would be best if those professors came to taste it!"

"Don't look so sullen. Let me tell you, there's a bit of a conflict between the Director of Nursing Department and Bai Chuzhang of the Medical Affairs Department. You coming to take the exam for someone else is just going through the motions; our Director will definitely be unhappy. But, if you get done in, I'll definitely give you a grand burial."

Tang Yan finally found something to be happy about.

"If you get done in by the Director of Nursing Department, I'll buy you a crystal flip-top coffin, equipped with a vibration pack and a revolving lantern, plus a few black guys dancing and singing. How about it? Good enough friend, right?"

She chatted away with Ji Xiang, rambling on without any boundaries.

"I personally prefer a slide-top."

"Hahaha, see? You're already in despair." Tang Yan lowered her voice and laughed, happy and delighted.

The darker Ji Xiang's face got, the happier Tang Yan became.

"Can you be quiet for a moment?" Ji Xiang looked up and glared at Tang Yan.

If 【Superior Doctor's Gaze】 didn't consume Surgical Points, it would be great. Even if there was a cost, Ji Xiang wanted to use it on Tang Yan right now.

It was really noisy.

But Ji Xiang couldn't bring himself to do it.

Next time.

Definitely!

"I heard people say you were first in the whole hospital for the Standardized Training Exam. That's useless too; you're just here to be a scapegoat."

Tang Yan said, sighing.

"What are you sighing for? Isn't seeing such a big joke enough for you to laugh at for half a year?" Ji Xiang said irritably.

"I saw Wei Laotaitai," Tang Yan said. "Our Director was eager to take a picture with her, but when Wei Laotaitai came, the Director didn't show up. You can't provoke a menopausal woman; who knows how much scolding she'll get when she goes back."

Ji Xiang directly blocked out all of Tang Yan's complaints and focused on the exam questions.

The thick printed paper was over 80 pages long. Ji Xiang finished scanning it ten lines at a time just as the exam time arrived.

The Nursing Department Deputy Director of the First Affiliated Hospital was the invigilator. She stood at the very front, and two Head Nurses handed out the test papers.

When they reached Ji Xiang, the Head Nurse paused and looked Ji Xiang over carefully.

Male nurses existed, but they were a rare species.

Especially since Ji Xiang was tall and sturdy, handsome and gentle; he was truly a pleasing sight.

However, the Head Nurse's gaze was completely useless to Ji Xiang; he began answering the questions after receiving the test paper.

When it came to exams, Ji Xiang was quite skilled.

With a superior memory, having just finished reading the review materials at a glance, Ji Xiang was also confident.

The carbon pen landed on the paper, making a swishing sound as the answers to one question after another were written down.

However, Ji Xiang felt a little disappointed this time; the Nurse's exam questions were indeed very difficult, and there were three questions Ji Xiang could not answer.

Ten minutes later, a group of people walked in, surrounding an elderly person with silver-white hair.

Ji Xiang glanced over, guessing that this must be the Wei Laotaitai that Tang Yan mentioned, a great master in the nursing circles of the Imperial Capital and the entire country.

But she had nothing to do with Ji Xiang; Ji Xiang would absolutely not change his profession to nursing just because he was press-ganged once.

After finishing the questions, Ji Xiang habitually checked them once; other than the 3 questions he could not do, there were no problems with the rest.

Hand in the paper!

Ji Xiang was too lazy to be perfunctory; he stood up, walked to the front, and when handing in the paper, he bowed to Wei Laotaitai to show his respect.

For an Old Man in the medical field, this bit of respect was deserved.

"Why are you handing in the paper while there are still blanks?" the Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital glanced at Ji Xiang's test paper and said unhappily.

Ji Xiang smiled and turned to leave.

"Go back and take another look to see if you can answer these few questions." Another person saw that the Director of Nursing Department was unhappy, so they pulled Ji Xiang back and said in a low voice.

"Is there a rule that I must finish answering? Should I just guess an answer if I don't know it?" Ji Xiang retorted.

Everything was going poorly today; he had been press-ganged and delayed his System Task, so Ji Xiang directly retorted to that person's words.

"Which hospital are you from?" the Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital asked with a stern expression.

Ji Xiang's eyes narrowed as he looked at the Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital; he hesitated for only 0.28 seconds before a click sounded, indicating the charge was complete.

Give her a shot!

Ji Xiang felt that he might have been influenced by Tang Yan's grumbling and complaining, as the skill was directly loaded.

【Superior Doctor's Gaze】

Activate!

The sharp gaze landed on the Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital, and her body suddenly tightened.

"Then fine, now you tell me the answers to these few questions." Ji Xiang said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he picked up the test paper and looked coldly at the Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital, "Now, immediately, right away!"

The test paper rustled; the Nurses taking the exam did not expect someone to directly confront the chief examiner, and in front of Wei Laotaitai from the Imperial Capital at that.

Did he not want to work anymore?

The Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital struggled immensely in her heart; she wanted to get angry, but being stared at by those two sharp, severe eyes, she began to feel guilty involuntarily.

It was just like when she first started working and participated in her first emergency rescue, where the Patient was on the verge of death, but she couldn't insert the needle.

Bewildered.

Helpless.

Terrified.

Her mind was a complete blank.

"The conditions for this question are insufficient; is this how you set the questions?" Ji Xiang held the test paper in his hand, using all his strength to refrain from throwing the test paper into the face of the Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital.

He truly did not understand why the system would have such an operation.

The position of the Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital was just right; not throwing the test paper at her face would be doing himself a disservice.

But Ji Xiang still held back.

Sigh, I didn't expect the System NPC to have such a short temper when young!

"Young man, let me see." The Old Man said calmly.

Ji Xiang handed the test paper to Wei Laotaitai and habitually glanced at her.

But Wei Laotaitai's "magic" resistance was very high; she did not lose her composure like the Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital, but only paused for a moment before nodding slightly.

"This question is flawed." Wei Laotaitai took a look and said with certainty.

"!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

The Nurses who were taking the exam were shocked.

Which question was flawed?

Did they answer it?

What condition was missing?

Why didn't they notice it?

A top student is truly an annoying creature; these questions were simply soul-crushing.

It would be one thing to have good exam results, but to actually say the questions set were flawed.

Especially Tang Yan; ever since she heard Wei Laotaitai's words, she felt that all the questions were flawed, and she instantly felt terrible.

"And this question."

Ji Xiang pointed to the second blank question and began to discuss it with Wei Laotaitai.

The Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital stood to the side with her hands down and head lowered; the previous hostility had vanished completely, and she waited pitifully to be scolded.

All the Nurses taking the exam looked sideways at this.

Especially the Nurses from the First Affiliated Hospital.

They knew how fierce the Director of Nursing Department of the First Affiliated Hospital was, especially toward the Nurses under her; it could be described as harsh, as if every Nurse had thrown her child into a well.

But today, she was actually scolded by that male Nurse.

Hmm, I'll have an extra meal tonight, go out and eat something good to celebrate.
