However, the fact that she was a teacher made Su Yueya feel a little uneasy. Perhaps the outcome would have been different if she had been treated as a doctor without any vested interests.

After all, the teacher didn't explain exactly where she lost points.

"Forget it, I'm still not good enough. Instead of thinking about these things, I should improve my skills. As long as I can do much better than Gao Haomiao, I can beat him next time!"

It's not like one assessment determines your entire future; she still has a chance.

"I see..." Qiao Xinruo seemed to understand something. She felt that she should explain the pros and cons to Su Yueya.

"Sister, I didn't mention this to you before, but actually working in a hospital is just like working in the military where Mom and her colleagues are. There are subtle factional struggles, just like what you experienced in the assessment today. Why did Vice President Zhou give Gao Haomiao a score that was one point higher than yours?"

Su Yueya immediately straightened her posture and listened attentively.

"Then tell me in detail."

Since she has decided to take this path and stay in the military hospital, Su Yueya should adapt to everything as soon as possible.

After all, wherever you work, you may not be able to avoid partisan struggles.

If you can't change your environment, then the law of survival is to change yourself and adapt to it.

“Vice Dean Zhou has a good relationship with the Gao family, a renowned medical family in the capital. The two brothers, Gao Haomiao and Gao Haohan, are from the Gao family. It’s obvious that Vice Dean Zhou will take care of them. Otherwise, why do you think Director Lu would assign the three of you girls to Dr. Liu, while the Gao brothers can intern with the vice dean?”

Su Yueya nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite; she thought it was probably what people called human relationships.

However, it's not purely about personal feelings. Just like when Liu Dekai stood on the moral high ground to criticize her, this is, after all, a hospital, and the work is closely related to human life. Without real skills and knowledge, it's definitely not going to work.

But given that both individuals possess genuine talent and skills, people tend to take extra care of those with whom they have a closer relationship. Can this be said to be solely based on connections?

No, that's not quite right. After all, they definitely have the ability; it's not just about connections.

Take Liu Dekai, for example. He was able to be promoted to deputy battalion commander in a short period of time. His father-in-law, the brigade commander, must have helped him. But if he didn't have something to offer, Brigade Commander Mo would never have dared to support him like that.

"I understand. If Vice Dean Zhou is still giving the feedback in the next assessment, if I want to get first place, I must be much better than the second place, not just about the same, or only slightly better."

After figuring it out, Su Yueya stopped worrying about it.

“That’s right, but don’t worry, Vice Dean Zhou definitely won’t be giving feedback on the next assessment. After all, he also needs to avoid risks,” Qiao Xinruo said meaningfully.

"No matter who it is, the only way to win steadily is to keep improving yourself!" Su Yueya said.

She already had an idea in mind.

She still has her spatial ability, which is a cheat code. If she can't surpass others even with ten times the speed, then being second place is indeed "deserved"!

"Sister, don't push yourself too hard. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Studying medicine isn't about showing off your strength and fighting," Qiao Xinruo reminded her.

When she first came to the military hospital, she also had a period of "unconvinced" attitude.

After all, she was a child prodigy who was "pampered" growing up. When she changed environments and found herself surrounded by outstanding people or seniors with rich experience, she was bound to experience a sense of loss.

Learning is a lifelong endeavor, especially for doctors, who are constantly improving every day.

"I know, I'm just doing my best," Su Yueya said.

She initially wanted to work at the military hospital because she wanted to have her own job like Lu Zhengjun and earn money for her family.

Otherwise, Su Yueya felt a little guilty about putting all the family's financial burden on Lu Zhengjun alone.

Moreover, although she had amnesia at the time, she subconsciously felt that she should have her own job and be able to earn her own money, so that she would feel secure.

At the time, I didn't know why, but I understood after my memory returned.

Perhaps it was because Liu Dekai abandoned her that she had this thought before she fainted and lost her memory. Liu Dekai said he had a fiancée, and she actually guessed the reason at that time.

Why was he able to be promoted to deputy battalion commander in such a short time, and also gain the appreciation of his superiors and be allocated housing ahead of schedule?

His fiancée must be someone special; she lost out because she didn't have that kind of family background.

Therefore, even though she was carefully cared for by Lu Zhengjun after losing her memory and felt that her husband treated her very well, there was still a voice deep in her heart telling her that her husband was unreliable and that she needed to have her own job and her own career.

Later, through continuous learning, she discovered her talent and fell in love with this career through her day and night studies.

"Okay, let's get ready to leave work. Mom and Dad said they're going to cook something delicious tonight, so let's hurry home!" Qiao Xinru pushed Su Yueya's shoulder, urging her to pack her things and leave work quickly.

As I was leaving the hospital, I ran into Tang Yueshan, who was also getting off work.

Su Yueya had never met the other four interns before; today's assessment was the first time she had seen them. She figured she had "met" them, so she nodded to them as a greeting.

But Tang Yueshan smiled and walked towards her.

"Su Yueya!" Tang Yueshan was unusually enthusiastic.

This surprised Su Yueya.

Qiao Xinruo also glanced at Su Yueya with surprise, and Su Yueya shook her head slightly.

"Hello, Dr. Qiao!" Tang Yueshan looked at Qiao Xinruo, then at Su Yueya, and exclaimed, "They really are exactly the same!"

Su Yueya is rather introverted, and faced with this situation, she really didn't know how to respond, so she could only manage an awkward smile.

"Aren't you curious about how I know you?" Tang Yueshan took the initiative to start the conversation.

"Isn't it because we just met this afternoon?" Su Yueya retorted.

Just then, Shan Zhengsi walked past them, but he didn't even glance at them, brushing past them as if he didn't know them at all.

“Look, we just saw her this afternoon, so why is she ignoring us?” Tang Yueshan threw the question back at her.

Su Yueya: "..."

What's going on here? Did they call her in for a question-and-answer session?

"Hey, actually it's because I've heard of you before. This afternoon was just our formal meeting. There was also Shan Zhengsi. She's actually a pretty nice person, but she got third place in today's assessment and isn't happy. Don't worry about her." Tang Yueshan blurted out.

Su Yueya: "..."

So, she and Shan Zhengsi were in the same boat?

One was dissatisfied with his second-place finish, and the other was dissatisfied with his third-place finish.
