As soon as Cheng Mingyue said this, the air froze for a moment.
The principal and Professor Zhou had previously specially investigated Cheng Mingyue and knew her abilities, so they naturally didn't worry about her. Both of them looked at everyone with a calm look.
The other school leaders were very good at observing people's expressions. Seeing that the principal and Professor Zhou were both like this, they had nothing to worry about and just watched from the sidelines.
"Let's compete right now. I don't believe that after three years of studying medicine, I can't beat you who has only studied for a month!"
But some people knew nothing and, relying on their inexplicable confidence in their medical skills, they stubbornly confronted Cheng Mingyue.
This person is a senior in the third year, named Yang Lei. He was once an educated youth who went to the countryside. He was recommended to study there after he married the daughter of the village chief.
But this man is the modern-day Chen Shimei. He abandoned the village chief's daughter as soon as she entered school. I heard that they have a two-year-old son.
When school started, Fu Zheng heard some gossip outside, and when she returned to the dormitory, she told Cheng Mingyue and Mu Jin about it with great disdain.
Later, when the three of them were eating in the cafeteria, Fu Zheng secretly pointed at Yang Lei and showed him to Cheng and the others, so Cheng Mingyue recognized him at a glance.
I made up my mind that this time I would make this social scum pay for it.
Cheng Mingyue looked around, her brows raised slightly: "If anyone else is dissatisfied, you can come together!"
"Senior Yang can handle you by himself, and besides Senior Gu, there's only one spot left, so we won't join in the fun."
"Yes, yes, that's right. Senior Yang alone can represent us. We all support Senior Yang!"
"Support Senior Yang!"
"Support Senior Yang!"
“…”
Cheng Mingyue was amused by the shameless faces of these people, but it didn't matter. As the saying goes, killing a chicken to scare the monkey, dealing with Yang Lei alone is enough to deter others.
Although Cheng Mingyue thought so in her heart, she was also afraid that Yang Lei would be tempted to retreat after seeing so many people deserting the battlefield, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Senior Yang, do you still want to compete with me now?"
Yang Lei was not a fool, so he naturally saw through other people's little thoughts, but the temptation of being accepted as a disciple by Professor Gu was too great for him.
In addition, he was very confident in his medical skills. After all, he was always ranked second in the school. Apart from Gu Xiao, his medical skills were the best. Even the seniors in their fourth and fifth years were not as good as him.
Therefore, when he heard that Professor Gu wanted to accept a disciple, he had already taken the remaining spot as a sure thing.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway and was intercepted by Cheng Mingyue. How could he bear this?
Now seeing Cheng Mingyue's arrogant look of determination to win, he had already gritted his teeth, thinking that the condition of dropping out of school she had just proposed was simply a blatant attempt to scare him away.
His inner contempt for Cheng Mingyue deepened.
"Let's have the competition, but there's one catch: if you lose, you have to drop out of medical school!"
"You're crazy! It's you who wants to pick a fight with Mingyue, not Mingyue who's picking a fight with you. Why should she agree to such a condition of yours?"
Fu Zheng's eyes widened, and she wanted to pounce on Yang Lei and slap him.
She had long disliked this grandson, and now he was even daydreaming about making Mingyue drop out of school. This was simply shameless to the extreme.
Cheng Mingyue pulled the somewhat exasperated Fu Zheng and asked her to stand behind her, then stared at Yang Lei with burning eyes: "Okay! I..."
At this moment, Gu Xiao rushed in from outside and interrupted what Cheng Mingyue was about to say.
"Junior Sister Cheng, no, you can't agree to him!"
Then he turned to look at Yang Lei, his face instantly darkening.
"Student Yang, it was my grandfather's decision to accept Junior Sister Cheng as his disciple. Even if you continue to act like a spoiled brat, it will be useless. If you have nothing better to do and really want to compete in medical skills, then I, Gu Xiao, will be there anytime!"
"Your grandfather wants to take in a disciple? Didn't they say that Professor Gu, the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, wanted to take in a disciple? How did it become your grandfather?"
"Ah~ No way! Professor Gu's last name is Gu, and Senior Gu's last name is also Gu. Could he really be Professor Gu's grandson?!"
"Oh my god! No wonder Senior Gu is such a great doctor, it turns out his grandfather is the president of the Chinese Medicine Association!"
“…”
Everyone was talking about it, and Cheng Mingyue was also surprised.
She had guessed about the relationship between Gu Xiao and Professor Gu before, but she rejected it at that time, thinking that she was overthinking.
I didn't expect it to be true. That explains why Gu Xiao has been so nice to me during this period.
Before, Fu Zheng and Mu Jin had guessed that Gu Xiao was interested in them, which was why he kept coming to her every now and then. It turned out that it was all because of Professor Gu!
Now not only Cheng Mingyue figured it out, but everyone else present, although not sure of the reason, also had nothing to say.
After all, it is not up to them to decide who the president chooses to accept as his apprentice.
But Yang Lei didn't think so, his eyes were bloodshot.
"Gu Xiao, even if your grandfather is the president, accepting a disciple is a big deal after all, and since our school has already been given two spots in writing, we should compete fairly.
Moreover, as the president's apprentice, my qualifications and medical skills should be the criteria for evaluation. I don't think I am worse than Cheng Mingyue!"
Neither of them would give in, and the situation became deadlocked again.
"Alright, it seems Senior Yang isn't convinced by me. Well then, let's do as we said before and have a competition. Then it will be clear who will win."
"Junior Sister Cheng, you..." Gu Xiao wanted to persuade her again, but saw Cheng Mingyue waving at him.
"Brother Gu, since I dare to compete with him, I am naturally very confident. Don't worry!"
"Alright, alright, it's settled. The competition will take place on the school playground next Monday. The details of the competition will remain confidential for now."
Principal Wang made the final decision.
After leaving the office, Fu Zheng nervously took Cheng Mingyue's arm and said, "Mingyue, do you really want to compete with Yang Lei?"
"Yes, didn't you hear it all just now?" Cheng Mingyue replied in a relaxed tone.
“But…but…”
"Don't worry, I know you're worried about me, but it really doesn't matter. Didn't I just say that if I dare to compete with him, I must be absolutely sure before making this decision."
Cheng Mingyue stopped, patted Fu Zheng's shoulder gently, and explained patiently.
"I know you're a good doctor, but Yang Lei is a junior after all, and we don't even know what the competition is about yet, so I'm still a little worried."
Fu Zheng became more and more nervous as she spoke. Her heart was in her throat when she thought that the loser of the competition would be expelled from school.
Cheng Mingyue thought for a moment, then opened her red lips and said, "Then I'll give you a task."
"What mission?" Fu Zheng looked confused.
