Chapter 301 - 300

Chapter 301: Chapter 300

Upon hearing this, Ivy River burst out laughing, "Alright, if you’re going to talk, say more. It’ll cheer me up."

"It’s the truth, Edwin Blake isn’t cut out for this. Can’t help it, not sure who’ll benefit after this."

Alaric Taylor continued to praise.

Ivy River laughed for a while, then abruptly said, "Forget it, I won’t attend the award ceremony tonight. I don’t feel like showing my face, you know."

Alaric Taylor thought for a moment, "Alright, maybe you should have your assistant attend in your place, and you can check it out from behind. After all, it’s your honor."

Ivy River waved her hand, nonchalantly saying, "No need, I don’t care much for this little competition."

"Suit yourself." Alaric Taylor didn’t press further.

Ivy River turned to Isabella Yeaton, "The first prize should have some prize money, how much was it again?"

"First place is 300,000, second is 100,000, and third is 50,000, and for the first place, they will promote your photo nationwide. Everyone will recognize you."

Isabella Yeaton responded honestly.

"What?" Ivy River was shocked, "Isn’t this like executing me slowly? The sky’s falling, such a social death, the photo is provided by me later, right?"

"Yes, Director, it’s a regular part of the contest every year, and this year’s no different. I heard the judges are eager to promote you, even considering you as the contest’s ambassador."

Isabella Yeaton shared all the information she had gathered.

"Then we’ll visit the venue later, I have something to discuss with Griffin King. As the saying goes, ’the man who fears fame like a pig fears to grow fat,’ avoiding future troubles that might delay my resignation is best."

Ivy River couldn’t help but frown, letting out a long sigh, "If I’d known about these rules, I wouldn’t have entered the contest..."

Alaric Taylor comforted her, "It’s okay, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Let’s ask first, maybe there’s a solution. If not, just use any photo, you’re so beautiful anyway."

Isabella Yeaton also said, "Yes, Director, you’re so beautiful, as soon as the photo is released, your fame will skyrocket."

"Isabella, I’m planning to resign, which is equivalent to retiring from the field. I don’t plan to work at another hospital, and it’ll surely bring a host of problems."

Isabella Yeaton clenched her fists, "It’s okay! Director, I believe in you. You’re the best, these issues are simple, really no big deal."

"Alright, thanks for believing in me. Let’s go."

Ivy River finished speaking and got up to head for the door.

Isabella Yeaton panicked and quickly blocked her, "Direc... Director, wait a moment, there’s something else to discuss."

"What is it?"

Isabella Yeaton glanced at Alaric Taylor, feeling awkward, "Um, it’s just the usual business arrangements."

Ivy River immediately understood, "He’s not an outsider, he’s my good friend, no harm in discussing."

"It’s about President Blake’s situation, you see..."

Ivy River interrupted directly, "We’ll discuss that later after I’m done. Any other issues?"

"Mr. Anderson came by again, but you were at the contest, so he left, nothing else."

Isabella Yeaton finished saying this, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Luckily...

Luckily, she reacted quickly, or else she would have blown everything up!

If President Blake’s condition was inadvertently revealed by her, who knows what aftermath might await!

Upon hearing Thalia Anderson’s name, Ivy River couldn’t help but frown, "Why is he here again? Never mind, just let him go. Make sure you check the special care ward frequently, keep an eye on Old Sir Jones, we’ll head to the venue first."

"Then... should I still go later, Director, or should you go on stage yourself? I’m afraid of the online commenters going after me..."

Isabella Yeaton was truthful.

The current online audience is quite difficult to handle, especially with Ivy River having the title of Little Divine Doctor.

Once it’s broadcasted, people might demand a stand-in.

Not just her, even Ivy River herself might get heavily criticized...

"That’s true, it’ll be no issue after I retire from the field, but you still have your job, so let me figure something out. Meanwhile, you go check on the patients. If you want to watch the award ceremony, go ahead; if not, don’t worry about it."

Ivy River gave her instructions before directly leaving.

Isabella Yeaton hurriedly followed, noticing that both Lewis Chadwick and Alexander Hodges were absent from the door, and her heart sank.

The next moment.

She was dragged into his small office by Lewis Chadwick, who immediately began grilling her.

...

At the venue.

Ivy River was straightforward with her intentions, "Can you not display my photo on the big screen? I don’t want to show my face."

"This is a tradition carried over from recent contests; the photo must be displayed."

Griffin King was troubled.

"What if I don’t want my own photo displayed? How about this, I’m an employee of Seaton Medical University, Evelyn King is also from the Medical University, we’re all one family, so displaying her photo seems fine too?"

Griffin King looked at her with frustration, "Your idea isn’t bad, but you see, Evelyn King is already quite famous outside, and since she isn’t the first place winner, it would cause a mix-up!"

"That’s easy to fix, just appoint Evelyn King as the pre-decided first place winner. I have no issues with it, and I’m willing to do so!"

Ivy River spoke with a smile, even taking out her phone and opening Evelyn King’s chat.

[Evelyn King, this is Ivy River. I’m not planning to be the first in the Chinese Medicine competition, so I’ll give that to you. Send me your photo.]

Griffin King couldn’t restrain Ivy River at all!

"Ivy River, I’m telling you, what you send now has no effect. We’ll officially announce you as the first place winner."

"We’re one family! I don’t mind, why should you!"

Ivy River couldn’t understand.

"I don’t mind either but since you won, it’s your win. Can an award be transferred at will? I can request an application for the photo issue, but the first place is yours."

Griffin King said with a serious tone.

Hearing this, Ivy River knit her brows, "Oh come on, just bend the rules a little, few people knew I was the first surgeon to complete the procedure..."

"Few people? The whole internet knows you’re the first place winner."

Griffin King pulled up Twitter trending topics and put them in front of Ivy River, "Take a look, even Cyrus Brown has apologized, and your competition video has been leaked out."

After viewing it, Ivy River was dumbfounded, "Why did that guy apologize to me out of the blue! Weren’t we supposed to go over the draft first?"

"Isn’t it written well? It’s sincere, so you should just go and accept your award!"

Alaric Taylor glanced at Ivy River’s unhappy expression and smiled at Griffin King, "Judge, I’ll take her over there to discuss something."

"What are you doing, don’t touch me!"

Ivy River pulled her arm free immediately.

Alaric Taylor smiled indulgently, then leaned close to her ear and whispered something softly.

Ivy River’s eyes instantly lit up.

Griffin King, seeing this, was very worried, with a lingering sense of unease...
