Chapter 521 Qiao Xi's Sharpness
Qiao Xi's face looked ugly, and her black and white eyes were sharp.
Xiang Mingzhu, who was standing by, almost laughed out loud. She said sarcastically, "Qiao Xi, I didn't expect you to lose like this. I thought you were so capable!"
Her million was well spent!
Thanks to Shen Xuanzhi for injuring Li Songwen, she was able to easily convince Li Songwen to break the rules and cause trouble.
"That's great. You're going to be disqualified. Even if you don't withdraw, you won't be able to hold a needle steadily with this hand."
Qiao Xi stood straight, her thin back straight with the outline of her shoulder blades visible.
There was a hurricane in her almond-shaped eyes.
She was determined to complete the competition even if it meant breaking her bones, so how could she let a patient disrupt her rhythm?
"President Lu!"
Her voice was gentle but firm: "Did you not consider this special situation when you were in charge of arranging the competition process? If the volunteers regretted it at the last minute, don't you have a backup plan? Even if not, there was just a player who was disqualified for cheating with the gold needle, so the volunteer patient arranged for him can take his place."
"I can continue the competition, why should I withdraw? The mistake was caused by Li Songwen, why should I bear the consequences?"
She kept asking, her words falling to the ground with a loud noise!
Even though his face was pale, his eyes were bright.
"President Lu, I can't pay for your work mistakes, right?"
Since she has been bullied by others, she doesn't want to be polite anymore!
Lu Bannong was questioned repeatedly by her, but he could not refute it.
Qiao Xi was telling the truth. If he didn't agree, it would be a mistake. It would be a stain on him if he made a mistake in the once-in-a-decade Chinese Medicine Ceremony.
Moreover, even Huang Bingyi's look at him was not very friendly.
Lu Bannong's tone became gentler: "Your arm is already burned like this. What you should do now is to bandage it properly. Otherwise, it will easily leave scars... We are all thinking about you."
Qiao Xi's forearms were red and swollen, and the blisters on them were even more frightening.
The pain is unbearable!
She looked at Lu Bannong and said, "Whether I withdraw from the competition is my own choice. It has nothing to do with President Lu. You keep asking me to withdraw from the competition. Are you expecting me to make such a decision?"
Lu Bangnong smiled bitterly and said, "I am thinking about you."
"You forgot that if I lose, I will be banned from practicing medicine for the rest of my life because of the rules you set. Is this also for my sake?"
Qiao Xi has a gentle and beautiful appearance, but she is very aggressive, as if she has thorns all over her body.
"President Lu, this is a matter of my life! If it wasn't me today, but another player, all the hard work of many years would be wasted, and no one would be satisfied with the result. Do you think what I said is right?"
Qiao Xi's remarks caused many viewers to question Lu Bannong's approach.
Is there no backup plan for such a big competition?
A contestant has prepared for so long, but an accident forces her to withdraw from the competition? What is the point of such a competition?
Lu Bannong was in a difficult situation.
What a clever girl!
As expected, he was chosen by Cheng Han to deal with the Lu family!
"Indeed..."
Before Lu Bannong could finish his words, he was interrupted by a childish voice.
The little girl lying in her mother's arms shouted, "Sister, is this competition important to you?"
There were still traces of tears on her face, and she looked very pitiful.
But those eyes like black grapes looked at Qiao Xi sincerely as if they had been washed with water and asked the question.
The corners of Qiao Xi's eyes turned slightly red: "Yes, it's very important."
"Then... Sister, are you still willing to treat me?" She looked at Qiao Xi timidly and asked, "If I behave well, can I help you?"
She remembered that this sister had just stood in front of her and her hand was injured.
My mother said that such burns are very painful, more painful than injections. They may also leave scars, which will be ugly in the future. Nian Nian would have felt the pain, but it was the beautiful sister who helped her.
Nian Nian wants to be a good child and also wants to help her sister.
And she just saw the bad brother who splashed water deliberately came over when his sister didn't notice.
"Niannian..." the child's mother shouted somewhat disapprovingly.
"Mom," the child said obediently, "Mom said Nian Nian should be a good child and be helpful. My sister helped me, so I should help her too."
The child's mother hesitated for a while, and finally walked back slowly.
She put the child back on the treatment bed in front of Qiao Xi and said in a bad tone: "I'll leave the child to you. If you can't do it, then I..."
"If she can't do it, I'll give her the acupuncture myself."
Huang Bingyi on the podium said in a loud voice, "I will personally give this child acupuncture to treat his illness!"
Everyone was shocked.
I didn't expect Mr. Huang to speak up.
He has not practiced acupuncture for many years, but he is breaking the rules here for Qiao Xi!
As soon as Huang Bingyi opened his mouth, the child's mother was comforted and no longer had any objections. This was Mr. Huang, he would definitely be able to cure such a minor problem as childhood stagnation!
Lu Bannong's face looked a little ugly. He really didn't expect that the predetermined ending would have such an unexpected turn of events!
A child turned out to be the biggest turning point!
Even Huang Bingyi offered to help. Could it be that he was dissatisfied with the Lu family? Lu Bannong felt a little regretful. If he had known that Yingxue went to the Zhong family to ask Huang Bingyi to be a judge, he should have stopped her!
But by the time he got the news, it was already a done deal!
Young people are still impatient and too focused on fame and fortune!
Not as spicy as old ginger!
Now there is one more variable in the competition! I don’t know if it will affect the final result!
Qiao Xi asked coldly, "President Lu, can I start the competition now?"
Lu Bannong nodded expressionlessly: "The game continues! Please ask the security guards to enter and maintain order. We cannot make the same mistake again. Please forgive us, audience, this is indeed something our association did not consider carefully when formulating the procedures."
He said "our association", not him.
Disassociate from personal relationships.
The game was declared over, but the hourglass was already half empty.
Only one hour left.
The TV station also gave Qiao Xi the camera, and many people wanted to know how she would continue the competition. The plan written on her pulse chart before was pediatric massage, plus acupuncture, which could produce quick results.
Now all that's left is acupuncture.
"If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to hold the needle steadily. Children are weak, so gentle pricking is needed. The needle is shallow, the technique is fast, and it tests your skills. I don't think I can get the right balance with Qiao Xi's current injuries!"
It has to be light, shallow and fast!
Too light a technique will have no effect, while too heavy a technique will damage the child's vital energy.
When Sun Weimeng heard the discussions nearby, he immediately put his hands together, chanted "Amitabha" and began to pray.
But he lost his temper after reciting it for a while. Qiao Xi must have been in great pain.
He wanted her to persist, but he felt that was too cruel.
The Liu family members in front of the TV also looked solemn and reluctant. Old Mrs. Liu and Liu Huimin's eyes were red and tears fell. Liu Zongquan picked up his phone and dialed someone to find a solution.
Qiao Xi's friends and former colleagues in Haicheng also paid close attention to the live broadcast and secretly cheered her on.
In full view of everyone, Qiao Xi took action.
