This meeting was a semi-formal occasion.
Even if the two know each other, interrupting a senior's words is still very offensive.
Therefore, Lin Xiao addressed him by his full name to express his dissatisfaction.
"Uncle Lin, you just said that all of us were selected through a rigorous process."
"Everyone has information about each other, so we can know each other."
Liang Shaoqing pointed at Lin Fan, his face full of doubt, "Then what about him? We've never seen him."
He couldn't possibly have just emerged from a crack in the rock, could he?
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
He made no attempt to hide his contempt for Lin Fan.
"Yeah, with him, that makes thirty-one people, right?"
“I hadn’t met him during the screening process.”
"I think he got in through connections."
When someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow.
With Liang Shaoqing taking the lead, many young people started discussing it, and their voices became louder.
Clearly, they harbored strong resentment towards Lin Fan, this person who had been placed there through connections.
"Quiet."
Xia Yuliang pressed his palm down, "He was specially invited by us, so it's normal that you haven't met him before."
"And there are specially invited doctors?"
Liang Shaoqing felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Yes, you can think that way."
"Xiao Lin's medical skills are very impressive, no less than yours."
"You'll find out when the competition starts."
Xia Yuliang smiled gently.
"Dean Xia, the more you say that, the more interested I become."
"Which hospital did he come from?"
Liang Shaoqing was afraid of Xia Yuliang, so he toned down his arrogance a bit.
"I don't work at the hospital now."
Lin Fan spoke calmly.
"hiss……"
The meeting room fell silent instantly.
All eyes were on him, filled with disbelief.
What kind of doctor doesn't even have a job at a hospital?
"puff……"
Liang Shaoqing laughed loudly, "Dean Xia, he doesn't even have a job at a hospital, where would he get his clinical experience?"
How could he participate in an exchange competition of this level?
This has to be a joke!
Everyone else had the same expression.
Liang Shaoqing is essentially their mouth double!
"He is the honorary vice president of Kaiming County Hospital, but he is just modest and doesn't want to say it."
Xia Yuliang crossed his fingers and smiled slightly.
"Honorary Vice Dean?"
Liang Shaoqing's smile froze instantly.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan, at such a young age, had such a background.
Most importantly, this was said by Dean Xia himself!
"Honorary Vice Dean? It's just a nominal position."
"I bet he got there through connections. How could someone so young be the vice dean!"
"It's just... a county-level hospital, what's that?"
"..."
Several young men nearby began to whisper among themselves.
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, but Liang Shaoqing heard it clearly.
"Dean Xia, even if he is the so-called honorary vice dean, it is just a nominal position."
“We were all selected from hospitals all over the province after going through layers of screening.”
"Now suddenly someone we've never heard of has entered the picture, and it's a county hospital whose name we've never even heard of!"
"This is so unfair to all of us!"
This time he was smarter and managed to force everyone onto the same boat.
"Liang Shaoqing!"
Lin Xiao slammed his fist on the table, his face turning ashen, and said, "Dean Xia has his reasons for doing things. Who are you to point fingers here?"
Disrespectful to elders, is this how your grandfather taught you?
"President Lin, I'm just speaking for everyone."
Liang Shaoqing was very unconvinced and retorted, "We've worked so hard to prepare for so long and overcome so many obstacles to be qualified to sit here."
Now suddenly someone has appeared who got a qualification by using connections and swaggering around.
What about all our hard work? Is this fair to us?
To be fair, this kid has a very strong speaking ability.
After a passionate and inspiring speech, everyone was immediately ignited.
"Yes, we're not having it! Why should he get in through connections!"
"The medical skills exchange conference is a very serious matter; it represents the entire Jiangsu Province."
"If this person embarrasses himself at the conference, wouldn't that be a disgrace to our great Jiangsu Province?"
They were already dissatisfied with Lin Fan, and now they were in an uproar.
Lin Fan watched these people filled with righteous indignation, but simply sat down next to Xia Yuliang as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Lin Fan's performance, Xia Yuliang became even more certain that his initial choice was correct.
To be able to tolerate both praise and criticism like the wind—that's a first-rate skill in cultivating one's inner strength!
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Xia Yuliang waved his hand in acknowledgment.
"Dean Xia, you can make us submit to him if you want."
"You say he's a skilled doctor? Then let's have a contest!"
"If he wins, I, Liang Shaoqing, will be the first to admit defeat!"
After Liang Shaoqing finished speaking, he gave Lin Fan an arrogant look.
This guy was like a turtle hiding its head in the sand; he didn't say a word for a long time.
"That's right, let's have a match!"
"Let's see what it's really like."
Unexpectedly, Liang Shaoqing received a great deal of support.
Xia Yuliang frowned slightly upon seeing this.
He was about to reprimand this behavior when Lin Fan gently pulled him back.
"Sure, I accept the challenge."
Lin Fan smiled faintly.
"whispering sound!"
When he agreed, the young people all wore mocking expressions.
