Traditional Medicine Competition Preliminaries

Edwin Blake: "..."

Why does this sound so awkward.

"Ivy River, wasn’t it you who first suggested this? Did you always want to punish me from the start, making me suffer more!"

Hearing Edwin Blake’s soulful question.

Ivy River couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud, trying hard to suppress her laughter, "How could that be? Do I seem like that kind of doctor? I’m a good doctor who saves lives and helps the injured, don’t think of me that way!"

Thinking about the pain Edwin Blake had been through recently, she secretly rejoiced.

This time, she didn’t plan to argue with him.

Edwin couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Yes, you are a good doctor. So if you can avoid coming tomorrow, does that mean I can also take care of my own issues first if something happens to me later?"

Upon hearing this, Ivy frowned.

She decisively refused, "No, you still need to come for acupuncture regularly. Occasionally skipping it is fine, but you can’t do it often."

Edwin was helpless, "Then after you pass the preliminaries, how long until the next round? To my knowledge, there should be another round, and then the finals, right? That’s a total of four days."

"Yes, it’s four days. You have a good memory."

"So it should be within a short period. The awards ceremony must be concluded within ten days. Will I be going to the hospital for acupuncture then, or just enduring it at home?"

Ivy was taken aback, thinking for a moment, "I’ll help you control your condition by then."

"Then why can’t I go to the hospital after the competition?" Edwin deliberately asked.

Ivy solemnly refused, "No way! I need to rest after the competition. How can I continue working immediately after? I won’t do it!"

"So, not giving me acupuncture is your problem, not mine. This proves that I can take a leave and not see a doctor without risking my life."

Got to hand it to him.

Edwin’s logic and IQ are indeed on point.

But Ivy wasn’t a pushover either, "Do whatever you want. If you want to come, come. If you don’t, don’t. I don’t care. Do you have anything else? If not, please hurry up and leave. Thank you!"

"Okay, then I’ll inform you in advance if I have something. Recently, because of acupuncture, a lot of company matters have piled up."

Edwin said seriously.

Recently, he had indeed delayed several contracts.

Although they weren’t of high value, that wasn’t his usual style.

Ivy nodded, unable to resist complaining, "It’s like I get to rest because of you. Originally, I was supposed to work eight hours over five days. Now, thanks to you, I haven’t rested!"

Edwin Blake: "..."

He didn’t say anything more, glanced at Ivy, and left the office.

What else could he do?

He could only endure!

Harry Ross looked at the CEO’s gloomy face and didn’t dare to joke with Isabella Yeaton anymore. He quickly followed behind Edwin Blake obediently.

Sitting in the car, Harry was starting the engine.

Edwin suddenly said, "Isn’t the Traditional Medicine Competition preliminaries tomorrow? Check the time and place. I remember the Blake Clan Group has invested."

Harry was so startled that he abruptly shut off the engine, hurriedly apologizing, "I’m sorry, CEO, are you alright?"

Edwin coldly responded, "I’m fine."

Harry quickly recalled, "Yes, there is a Traditional Medicine Competition. Do you want to participate? Tomorrow is the opening ceremony and first selection, from which the top 20 doctors will be selected for the next round."

"Yes, I’ll participate."

"Okay, I’ll arrange it right away."

Harry didn’t dare to delay. He drove back to the company and began arranging for this matter.

The next day.

The Traditional Medicine Competition.

Many participants came, with almost every hospital having representatives.

But today, they were selecting the top twenty doctors from over a hundred, directly entering the second round.

The elimination rate was quite high.

The host started with the usual speech, "Welcome everyone to our Traditional Medicine Competition. It’s very lively here today, with doctors from various hospitals gathering here. Everyone wants to shine in this competition."

"But we need to proceed smoothly, so only the top twenty contestants can move to the next stage."

The host spoke for a while, "Let’s give a warm welcome to today’s participants. We wish them success, and may those who advance work hard while those who fail should not be discouraged. Let’s all give them encouraging applause!"

Ivy stood backstage, feeling her ears almost blistered from listening.

So tired.

She wanted to find a place to sit for a while.

Scanning the area, she spotted a small stool in the corner. She confidently walked through the crowd and sat down.

At that moment, all eyes turned to her.

Evelyn King quietly approached and whispered, "Director River, we are in the first group to go on stage. Please stand back."

Ivy didn’t take it seriously, "This host will take another ten minutes, and then the leaders’ speeches before it’s our turn. Let’s rest a bit. Sis, aren’t you tired?"

Evelyn King wanted to say something, but Ivy waved her hand, "Don’t rush me, I’ll just sit for a bit. Trust me, there won’t be any mishaps."

Evelyn helplessly walked away, whispering, "Just for a bit, come back soon."

Ivy nodded and smiled, then changed her position and continued sitting comfortably.

This made other contestants envious.

Everyone was here to compete, why should she get to sit?

"It’s so unfair. Who is she? I’ve never seen her in previous competitions. Is she here to cause trouble?"

"Not sure, but she’s from Seaton, so she shouldn’t be bad. We could ask Evelyn?"

"Heh, she’ll panic when the host suddenly calls us on stage."

Many people had participated several times and had never seen Ivy.

So someone boldly asked Evelyn, "Doctor King, who is she? You’ve always participated with Doctor Liu before. Why the change?"

"Director River is more skilled in traditional medicine. The capable should do more."

Evelyn glanced at Ivy, not saying much.

"Then why does she get to be so relaxed, not taking the competition seriously? Does she have connections?"

Someone quietly asked.

Upon hearing this, Evelyn frowned and coldly replied, "No connections. Director River’s skills surpass ours. Instead of gossiping, why not focus on making it to the top twenty?"

"Ugh, I just asked a question. No need to get mad. Don’t forget, I made it to the second round last time!"

Evelyn unceremoniously retorted, "If I remember correctly, you were 20th and eliminated in the first round. Be careful this time, or you won’t be able to explain to South City Hospital. Your dreams of a raise and bonus will be shattered."

"You!" The doctor flushed with anger.

Evelyn glanced at them, "Focus on praying instead of gossiping. If I were you, I’d be embarrassed to speak."

With that.

The host’s introduction was wrapping up, "Thank you, leaders, for your speeches. Now, let’s welcome the participating doctors on stage."

The screen opened.

Doctors began to file on stage.

As it neared Seaton Medical University’s turn, Ivy still hadn’t moved. Evelyn anxiously urged, "Director River! Hurry, it’s almost our turn!"

The host began the introduction, "Next, we have the representatives from Seaton Medical University, Doctors Evelyn King and Ivy River!"
