Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 918: Chapter 918: You Are Invited

"Bai Xiao, come to the principal’s office!"

Liu Hongmin’s sudden appearance made every student shut their mouths.

After those words were dropped, all eyes immediately focused on Bai Xiao. noveldrama

Over there, Dr. Xue hadn’t even left the school yet, and here Bai Xiao was already being summoned to the office.

Countless imaginations started running wild in the minds of everyone present.

Everyone had been saying Bai Xiao had powerful connections backing her. It used to just be speculation, but now, this blatant statement from the Director made it crystal clear to everyone—this Dr. Bai was absolutely someone you shouldn’t mess with.

Who was Zhang Zhaoyuan?

Zhang Zhaoyuan was considered one of the star figures at the Medical College. Not only were his academic results and technical expertise solid, but he also came from an elite family, and on top of that, looked rather attractive. Rumor had it his grandfather was a Dean at some hospital, still receiving government benefits despite not having retired yet.

And someone like him had to publicly apologize to Bai Xiao.

It was clear this was a one-sided crush-down in a contest of backstage connections.

Bai Xiao followed Liu Hongmin as they walked out.

Earning the spotlight of everyone’s gaze.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless—did Liu Hongmin have to make things so blatant and stir up all these side comments?

Any hopes she had of keeping a low profile were now shattered.

She could forget staying low-key now.

"Director Liu, why are you calling me to the office?"

This international competition is obviously about Internal Medicine and Surgery, featuring only the top talents in the field. What does it have to do with her, someone specializing in Traditional Chinese Medicine?

She genuinely believed she didn’t stand a chance of competing.

Even though privately, her special ability could probably cover both Internal and External Medicine.

On paper, however, her official classification was Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.

No way could she go out there claiming she’d been self-studying Internal and External Medicine for years and had become self-taught.

Saying something like that would surely get her smacked to death.

Those Surgery students at the Medical College—as far as just practicing suturing techniques alone—had burned through who-knows-how-many bananas and pig trotters every month just for practice.

If she were handed a needle and thread, chances were she’d be trembling from head to toe.

Much less when it came to distinguishing anatomical part names and blood vessels—she and all that technical stuff could barely recognize one another.

The silver needle techniques, pulse-taking, and acupuncture point mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine—those were things she’d barely trained to competency in her previous life. Even in this lifetime, despite attending the Medical College, she’d worked hard and studied seriously.

But honestly speaking, she was still just a half-baked novice.

"I don’t know either; Dr. Xue specifically asked you to be called in. If he’s asking for you, then he must think you have some advantage in this area that could help with our application," Liu Hongmin replied with a smile. This particular kid really was surprising—it looked like she hadn’t even thought about getting involved.

This is a matter of making a mark for the nation.

If this evaluation competition managed to win glory for the country, boosting the score and maybe even directly securing the opportunity for them to host the event.

Now that would make someone famous—famous nationwide.

At that point, every major hospital would be fighting tooth and nail to recruit people.

Knowing this, students from both Surgery and Internal Medicine would likely be clamoring to break their way into the competition. They could practically imagine how competitive the spots would become.

After all, it wasn’t as if just anyone could apply and get accepted. There would have to be an elimination round beforehand, some restrictions imposed by the school, and ultimately, the final competition list would pretty much be predetermined.

And yet, this little ancestor here wasn’t even considering the possibility.

She was really acting like an emperor who’s calm while the eunuchs were the ones panicking.
