Chapter 269: Chapter Two Hundred Sixty-Eight

Displaying One’s Talents

Edwin Blake’s lips curved into a silent smile.

Ivy River let out a cold laugh, then calmly stepped down and directly sat in the contestant’s seat.

Just as she sat down.

Evelyn King said worriedly, "Today’s topic shouldn’t have been a problem for you. Why did you still write so slowly?"

"Sometimes writing slowly doesn’t mean you can’t write, and writing quickly doesn’t always mean a high accuracy rate. Besides, it’s just the preliminary round; as long as you advance, it’s fine."

Ivy River spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Evelyn King finally felt relieved.

"Okay, okay, as long as you advance. It’d be such a waste if you got eliminated in the first round at your level."

Ivy River nodded and then started playing on her phone.

The doctors finished writing all the cases one after another.

The judges began their review.

Alexander Hodges sneaked over to Lewis Chadwick and said proudly, "My sister-in-law is amazing, isn’t she? Her ability to control the scene is excellent. I’ve been annoyed by this host for a long time, and only my sister-in-law can handle him!"

Lewis Chadwick was worried, "She is indeed impressive, but Ivy River submitted her case 29th. If her accuracy rate is off or she couldn’t complete it, it will be difficult. The competitors this time are all experts."

Alexander Hodges pouted, "Just trust my sister-in-law. My brother even came to watch the competition for her. If Ivy River doesn’t advance, he won’t be able to show his face."

Lewis Chadwick nodded and said nothing more.

He only secretly complained in his heart.

The conflict between Edwin Blake and Ivy River was known to everyone.

If Ivy River embarrassed herself this time, Edwin Blake would likely be too delighted to be concerned...

An hour later.

Ivy River couldn’t sit still and stood up, "I’ll go to the restroom. If I win an award, please accept it on my behalf."

"Where are you going?"

"To the restroom, but it might take a while."

Ivy River laughed as she spoke.

Evelyn King was speechless.

How could anyone speak so openly about slacking off!

"Okay, you go ahead. I’ll call you when they announce the results."

Ivy River really didn’t want to, but after thinking about it, she nodded, "Okay, thanks."

Forty minutes later.

Ivy River was lazily lying in the car sleeping when her phone suddenly rang.

She frowned and answered, "What’s up?"

Leon Peterson’s excited voice immediately rang out, "Boss! Didn’t you say you’d take it easy during the preliminary round? How did you end up in the top three?"

"What?"

Leon Peterson explained, "We’ve just seen the results of the Traditional Chinese Medicine competition. You’re third! With a high accuracy rate... and the internet is exploding. Didn’t you know?"

"I didn’t know. I’ll check it out when I get back."

Ivy River was full of confusion.

She quickly checked her phone messages.

Because her phone was on Do Not Disturb mode, many calls hadn’t come through.

Missed calls: 10...

Ivy River quickly called back.

Oh no.

How did things turn out this way!

When she got back, she saw Evelyn King and Lewis Chadwick standing excitedly at the door. They immediately came up to her.

Lewis Chadwick excitedly said, "Director River, you’re third! Third place! You’ve really brought honor to Seaton Hospital."

Evelyn King added softly, "If Director River had written faster, you wouldn’t have left the last five questions blank and might have had the time to finish them, then Director River would be first."

Ivy River awkwardly asked, "What’s the accuracy rate for first and second?"

Lewis Chadwick laughed, "It’s the same as yours, but they were just faster. The two of them are very experienced doctors, so it’s normal for them. You’re a newcomer who showed up out of nowhere and shocked the audience!"

"Wait, they could still get five questions wrong?"

Ivy River said in surprise.

Lewis Chadwick nodded, "Yes, but you answered the questions they missed. Now they’re all looking for you. Hurry up and come with us, there’s an award ceremony for the top three."

"Even the preliminary round has an award ceremony? So formal?"

Instantly, Ivy River didn’t want to go in.

Such a socially awkward, embarrassing scenario—she didn’t want to experience it!

"Oh please, just come in with me. It’s a chance to showcase yourself, you have to seize it!"

Seeing Ivy River dragging her feet, Lewis Chadwick steeled himself and pulled her by the arm to drag her in.

Evelyn King watched in horror from behind.

President Blake is still inside. Is it appropriate to drag his ex-wife like this?

Fortunately.

Ivy River snapped back to her senses and shook off Lewis Chadwick’s hand, saying coldly, "I can go in by myself. Stay away from me."

"Okay, okay!"

Lewis Chadwick’s head was already spinning from the excitement of placing in the top three.

He was thrilled along the way, "Heroes from dozens of hospitals nationwide gathered for this competition, and we got two spots in the top ten, one in the top three!"

Ivy River impatiently said, "If you keep babbling, I guarantee I’ll be eliminated in the first round next time. Then you’ll have nothing to report in your performance review."

"No way!"

Ivy River gave him a cold smile without saying anything.

But her meaning was clear: Try me if you dare.

Lewis Chadwick said no more, tightly shutting his mouth.

After entering the venue, the host praised Ivy River enthusiastically and then invited her on stage for a photo to announce the latest competition news.

"Dr. River, where did you work previously? You were reviewing the questions deeply, were you planning how to write the case?"

The host asked with a smile.

Ivy River glanced at him and coldly replied, "I was unemployed before, thanks to the Medical University for giving me this opportunity to work."

Her words fell.

The scene fell silent.

The host awkwardly laughed, "So you achieved such results right after becoming a doctor. That’s impressive. Do you have any words about placing in the top three today?"

Hearing this, Ivy River felt troubled.

She thought for a moment and said, "No special thoughts. Making the top three was beyond my expectations. If I had to say something, I hope the competing doctors will keep up the effort. Thank you."

The host, thinking she relied on luck, teased,

"Alright, we thank Dr. River for her words. We hope the advancing contestants continue to work hard, see you in the finals! And best of luck to Dr. River in the future!"

Ivy River noticed his teasing tone, frowned, but said nothing.

After the photo session.

Just as Ivy River stepped off the stage, the judges called her over.

"Dr. River, Dr. River, please come here."

Ivy River glanced at them without speaking.

Lewis Chadwick hurriedly said, "What’s wrong, judges? Is there an issue with the scores?"

The judges looked at each other, seemingly unsure how to start.

Lewis Chadwick grew more anxious, "Please, if there’s an issue with the scores, it can still be corrected."

One of the judges directly said, "It’s not a score issue. I just wanted to ask Dr. River why she approached this case this way. Only you got the question right."

The words fell.

Everyone who hadn’t left fell silent.

What kind of rare disease stumped the top ten traditional Chinese medicine chiefs and led them to humbly ask a new doctor?

Ivy River coldly refused, "Sorry, I don’t have time right now, apologies."

Gasp—

Her words successfully silenced the surrounding crowd.
