Chapter 899: You Must Bring Back the First Place This Year

Jiang Xianrou was extremely frustrated. Her fingertips scrolled through the group messages. Seeing that no one had messaged her since Zhang Yang’s message, she felt awkward.

This was not the end. Those people didn’t dare to send messages in the group, but they looked for her a lot in private.

She kept receiving new messages on WeChat.

[Xianrou, what’s going on? Why is your cousin’s school promotion banquet so grand? You didn’t tell us before.]

[Who is your cousin, Xianrou? You told me before that she came from Rao City. I thought she was just an ordinary student, but she’s the national college entrance examination top scorer this year. Her scores must be high. Not bad, your family is filled with straight-A students.]

[Miss Jiang, why don’t you invite your little cousin to the afternoon team and introduce her to everyone? I heard she’s a straight-A student. We can take care of her in the future.]

…

Every single one of them was asking her about Qiao Nian in a roundabout way. They looked like they wanted to dig up all of her background.

Some people were even more direct. They directly said that they had bought congratulatory gifts. They wondered if it was convenient to go to the Imperial Mansion to attend the banquet.

They almost wrote the word ‘curry favor’ on their foreheads!

Other than the cold blood in her entire body, Jiang Xianrou still wanted to suffocate. She couldn’t swallow or spit it out. It was stuck in her throat, and her throat was about to burst into flames.

Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian.

She opened every WeChat message and saw that they were filled with these two words. They were all asking her about Qiao Nian’s background and why so many people were attending her school promotion banquet.

Jiang Xianrou felt dizzy. Clutching her phone, she couldn’t recover for a long time and did not know how to answer these messages.

She didn’t even know what was going on at the Imperial Mansion.

Why did Old Master Ye and the others go?

What was more ridiculous was that despite such a serious matter happening at home, neither her grandfather nor her father had called her back.

Her mother had called her and seemed to be very angry. She told her that Qin Si and the others had gone, but when they saw her, they didn’t even greet her. They didn’t give her any face…

Jiang Xianrou didn’t know how to comfort her mother at all, because even she didn’t know why this was happening.

Her phone and WeChat were still ringing. She switched it off in frustration and pursed her lips, preparing to go back in a daze.

Coincidentally, Liang Lu came in holding a document. Seeing her, a smile appeared on her stiff face. She seemed to be in a good mood as she walked over and clapped her hands to get everyone’s attention.

When everyone was gathered together, Liang Lu took out the information she had brought and said, “This year’s medical knowledge competition is coming up. It will be held next week at the Beijing Medical Association. It will be the same as before. When the time comes, the medical departments of the major universities will send people to participate. Other than that, the top medical schools overseas will send their students.

“In the past, we have always been first place domestically. Since three years ago, a medical genius appeared overseas, and we have always been second. This year, the higher-ups want us to get the first place back. We can’t let the overseas take it away again, or else our domestic medicine will be stepped on until we can’t even raise our heads.”

This competition held a lot of weight internationally. Jiang Xianrou had heard of this competition more than once before. It was a competition of medical knowledge. If one had to make a comparison, the format of the competition was very similar to the Mathematical Olympiad.
