Chapter 19 No Suspense
After Su Jinhui arrived at the examination room, she found that she was not the only one being examined. There was also a man and a woman who looked older than her.
"There is only one spot available to enter the hospital and become a formal doctor this time. I advise you not to compete with me!" the man said arrogantly.
The woman next to him wasn't to be outdone. "You wish! I've been a volunteer at the hospital for two and a half years! It's my turn now!"
Su Jinhui turned her head silently and didn't want to get involved in the war of words.
The tree wanted to be still but the wind did not stop, and the two men's attention suddenly shifted to her.
"Little sister, are you here to participate in the election too? You are still young and it is not shameful even if you lose to me." The woman looked her up and down, obviously not taking her seriously.
The man burst out laughing, "Liu Hongxi, can you be a little thicker-skinned?"
"Wang Erlei, your face is thicker than a city wall! If I don't beat you and win the championship today, I will take your last name from now on!"
"No, no, you are not welcome in our Wang family! It is another matter whether a shrew like you can get married in the future. You want to rely on me now? Dream on!" Wang Erlei spoke very fluently with his lips moving quickly.
"You! You!" Liu Hongxi was so angry that her fingers were shaking.
The noisy conversation between the two made Su Jinhui upset. Just as she was about to go out and hide, the military doctor pushed the door open with two leaders.
Coincidentally, the military doctor in front of him was the one responsible for treating Yan Li'an.
After looking at each other and smiling politely, both sides tacitly did not say hello, just to maintain the fairness of the assessment.
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Jun, and I'm a doctor at the military hospital. This is Vice President Zhang and Political Commissar Zhao of the hospital. This assessment was decided by the three of us." Military doctor Chen Jun introduced himself straight to the point.
Liu Hongxi was eager to try and said, "Doctor Chen, we are not strangers anymore, let's get started!"
Her connections obviously made Political Commissar Zhao's face darker, and Su Jinhui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for her.
Chen Jun remained calm. "The assessment is divided into three rounds, with each round scored. The candidate with the highest average score after the last three rounds will be admitted."
"Now that everyone is ready, let's begin the first round. Please, three comrades, find five counterfeit drugs among 200 medicinal herbs within 15 minutes. The counterfeit drugs look almost identical to the real ones. Good luck."
Afterwards, a pile of medicinal herbs were placed in front of the three of them, of various kinds that were difficult to distinguish.
"This task is impossible to complete! I'm only given ten minutes. Even if I'm given half a day, it would be good if I can find it!" Wang Erlei frowned and scratched the back of his head in annoyance.
Liu Hongxi chuckled and taunted, "I told you long ago that you couldn't win. Isn't it shameful to quit now?"
"Comrades, please keep quiet!" Chen Jun interrupted them at the right time, but his eyes were on Su Jinhui in the corner.
She was neither anxious nor impatient, and slowly stroked the herbs in her hand.
The color of genuine Fritillaria cirrhosa is close to pure white, and its shape is conical or nearly spherical. The outer scales generally have two petals, with the large petal tightly wrapping the small petal, shaped like a crescent moon.
The fake Fritillaria thunbergii is yellowish in color, has one petal missing from its scale leaf, and has an irregular shape, clearly being forged from other Fritillaria thunbergii.
Then she picked out the pair of genuine and fake medicinal herbs separately. After only one and a half minutes, she found the first pair of fakes.
An expression of admiration that was hard to conceal flashed across Chen Jun's eyes, but was keenly caught by Liu Hongxi. She glared at Su Jinhui fiercely and her hands moved anxiously.
Five minutes later, Su Jinhui had found three, and only the last two were left.
Although she was extremely fast, the last two types were obviously more difficult, and she had no clue after searching carefully.
Her opponent Wang Erlei had a zero record, so he simply gave up this round of competition, sat down, crossed his legs, and drank water.
Liu Hongxi sweated profusely before he finally found a pair of fakes and is still working hard.
Objectively speaking, as long as she maintains her current level, she will win this round without a doubt.
But her competitive spirit has been aroused.
It seems the remaining two counterfeits cannot be distinguished by appearance and taste alone." She glanced at the water on the table.
Each contestant had a cup next to them, presumably not to quench their thirst.
Perhaps there would be new discoveries after soaking the herbs. Su Jinhui selected a few suspected herbs and put them into the cup, and took the opportunity to drop a few drops of spiritual spring water.
Two minutes later, she accurately took out the fake Codonopsis from it. The spiritual spring water can stimulate the sweetness of the real Codonopsis, while the fake Codonopsis tastes sour.
As the competition time was about to end, she still hadn't chosen the last one.
Wang Erlei urged impatiently, "When will it end? I'm giving up. Let them win. Let's move on to the next round."
It’s not his fault that he was impatient. He really didn’t feel involved in this round and could only stare blankly, which was really boring.
"I give up too." Liu Hongxi looked embarrassed. Apart from finding one at the beginning, she made no progress afterwards. She watched helplessly as Su Jinhui actually collected five kinds. Even if she tried her best, she could not catch up with her progress.
Chen Jun took out his whistle and was about to blow it when he was interrupted.
"Doctor Chen, I still have half a minute, right?" Su Jinhui showed her watch with a serious expression.
It was obvious that she wanted to fight to the last second.
"No, comrade, you don't have to do that. What else do you want after you've already won?" Wang Erlei complained, obviously not satisfied with her outrageous behavior.
Su Jinhui ignored her and put the Polygonum multiflorum at hand into her mouth.
"Comrade Jinhui!" Chen Jun widened his eyes and stepped forward to stop her but it was too late.
She looked down at her watch in surprise. "The time is just right. I've found the last fake one, this fake Polygonum multiflorum that was smeared with something."
Seeing that he was fine, the three judges present breathed a sigh of relief.
"That fake Polygonum multiflorum is poisonous! If you make a wrong bet, you won't have a chance to stand here." Chen Jun reminded her fearfully, hoping that she would not joke with her life again.
Liu Hongxi clenched his fists tightly and said sarcastically, "I know you want to win, but you don't have to fight so hard. Look at you, you look so naive."
"Poison testing is an essential quality for a doctor." Su Jinhui answered calmly.
The tip of her tongue lightly touched the roof of her mouth, the corners of her mouth turned up, and there was already spiritual spring water in her mouth. Even if she accidentally ate the poisonous fake Polygonum multiflorum, she would be safe.
She just wants to win, but not stupidly!
The first round of the competition was a foregone conclusion, as Su Jinhui defeated both of them with overwhelming strength.
