Chapter 34: I don’t know anything

"What's going on? Who is this Young man, and why is he sitting on the judges' panel?"

"Isn't that Ye Bufan? Has he gone crazy? Why is he sitting in the front?"

There were over a dozen students who came to take the exam today, from different schools, and some of them were from Jiangnan Medical University, so they knew Ye Bufan.

Everyone was confused; how could a student who was supposed to be taking the exam suddenly be sitting on the judges' panel, and in the center seat, no less?

Ma Wenbo was completely dumbfounded, even stopping his action of sending messages. He couldn't understand what Ye Bufan was up to.

Han Shuai was also stunned speechless. What was wrong with his third brother? Was he suffering from severe delusions? Did he really think of himself as a judge?

"Silence!"

Xie Donglin's authoritative voice rang out in the hall, and the crowd below, knowing he was the Dean of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, immediately quieted down.

He said, "I am Xie Donglin, the Dean of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Welcome, students, to today's intern doctor examination. Next, I will introduce the members of today's judging panel.

This is our Dr. Zhang Bai, this is Cao Xinghua, Cao, the Old Master, a master of Traditional Chinese Medicine from Jiangnan City, and this is Dr. Ye Bufan, the head of our judging panel today."

When the first two people were introduced, everyone applauded, but when it came to Ye Bufan, everyone was stunned.

Han Shuai's mouth was wide enough to fit an egg. Oh my goodness, what his third brother said was all true—he really was today's judge!

Zhu Linlin and the other person looked even more incredulous. Just a moment ago, they were mocking him for not even having the qualifications to take the exam, and then they tried to use their connections to kick him out. As a result, he transformed into today's judge, and even the head of the assessment team.

Ma Wenbo reached out and pinched his thigh hard. The sharp pain made him grimace, almost crying out, confirming that he wasn't dreaming.

Xie Donglin said, "Alright, let's officially begin the interview now. The first student to be assessed, Zhu Linlin, please come forward."

There were only three spots available this time. Ma Wenbo had already smoothed things over with Zhang Bai to let Zhu Linlin go first and pass, to prevent others from taking the spots.

But they never expected that the Dean, who usually didn't concern himself with such minor matters, would personally preside over this, and the judge had changed from Zhang Bai to Ye Bufan.

Although her heart was filled with helplessness, Zhu Linlin still walked to the front and bowed to the three people on the judges' panel.

Cao Xinghua asked, "Student, I'll ask you the first question: How do you understand 'Cultivating and refining, though unseen by others, is known to heaven by one's heart'?"

As a traditional old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, he placed great importance on cultivating medical ethics, which is why he hung this couplet in front of Baicao Hall.

"I… I…"

Zhu Linlin's academic performance was usually not great, and this time she was told it was just a formality and that she would definitely be admitted, so she hadn't prepared at all.

She had never even heard of Cao Xinghua's question, so how could she answer it? In an instant, her Face flushed crimson with anxiety.

Zhang Bai shook his head secretly and said, "Cao, the Old Master, the academy doesn't teach much about medical ethics. How about we try a different question, something about professional knowledge?"

Ye Bufan immediately understood. It seemed Zhu Linlin's so-called connections were with Zhang Bai, who was beside him.

Cao, the Old Master frowned and said, "Alright then, tell me the difference between Bái Zhú and Bai Zhi?"

Bái Zhú and Bai Zhi are both very common Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs. They look similar and have somewhat similar medicinal effects. If one is not careful, it's easy to confuse the two herbs, which is why he brought it up as a separate question.

"This…"

Zhu Linlin was dumbfounded once again. Although she was also a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine, she knew very little about Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs, so how could she know the difference between Bái Zhú and Bai Zhi?

Seeing that things were about to fall apart, Ma Wenbo, below the stage, kept winking at Zhang Bai, signaling him to help.

Zhang Bai, out of helplessness, said again, "Cao, the Old Master, they haven't even left school yet. This question might be a bit too specialized. How about we switch to something simpler?"

Cao Xinghua's Face immediately darkened. It was clear that Zhang Bai was speaking up for this woman.

At this moment, Ye Bufan said, "Dr. Zhang, what kind of question do you consider simple? How about the 'Tang Tou Ge'? As a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, this should be the simplest, right?"

Zhang Bai also felt embarrassed and awkwardly said, "That's fine."

Ye Bufan sneered and said to Zhu Linlin, "Then recite the 'Tang Tou Ge'."

He knew this woman all too well. When they were together, he had repeatedly urged Zhu Linlin to memorize the 'Tang Tou Ge', but she ignored him, more interested in eating, drinking, and having fun.

At that time, their relationship was good, and he doted on Zhu Linlin, so he didn't care. Now, it seemed this was completely a bad habit of being gluttonous and lazy.

"I… I

can't…"

Zhu Linlin bit her lip, struggling to utter these few words.

At this moment, she hated Ye Bufan to death. If it weren't for this man suddenly jumping out, why would she be so embarrassed?

Cao Xinghua angrily said, "You can't do this, you can't do that, you know nothing. I really don't know what you've learned in medical school all these years, or where you got the courage to come here for the exam.

You didn't pass this assessment. Go back and study your professional knowledge properly."

"This…"

Seeing that Cao Xinghua had directly given his verdict, Zhang Bai bit the bullet and said, "Cao, the Old Master, I think this Little girl's image is quite good. If she stays in the hospital and receives further training, it could work."

He was also forced into it. Last night, he had patted his chest and promised Ma Wenbo. If he didn't handle this well, he would lose Face in front of his nephew.

Plus, the Ma Family was wealthy, and he was still planning to have his sister buy him a car.

He originally thought that Ye Bufan and Cao Xinghua would at least give him some Face, but he didn't expect that as soon as he spoke, Cao Xinghua immediately became angry.

"Dr. Zhang, what do you mean by that? Is this a beauty pageant or an intern recruitment?"

What do you mean, 'good image means you can pass'? What about other students with good Medical skill? Is that fair to them?"

Xie Donglin was sitting nearby. Originally, he didn't want to interfere with the judges' work, but at this moment, he couldn't stand it any longer and said with a cold Face, "Zhang Bai, do you know what you're doing?

From now on, you will not serve as a judge. The selection work will be handed over to Dr. Ye and Cao, the Old Master."

"Yes, Dean."

Zhang Bai said dejectedly. He had originally thought that the Dean and Cao Xinghua would give him some Face, but he had completely overestimated himself.

Ye Bufan looked at Zhu Linlin with a playful expression: "Student, your assessment result is unsatisfactory. You may leave."

Seeing that a sure thing had fallen through like this, Zhu Linlin could no longer control her emotions and angrily said, "Ye Bufan, this is all your doing!"

Cao Xinghua said disapprovingly, "What are you saying, Little girl? You know nothing yourself, yet you're blaming others."

"I'm not convinced."

Ma Wenbo, the Young Master, lost his temper. He suddenly stood up from the side, pointed at Ye Bufan, and shouted, "He's just an ordinary student from Jiangnan Medical University. What right does he have to sit here as a judge?"
