Chapter 664: Why a Perfect Score? (Added 2 for Alliance Hierarch Soft-Spoken Little Fairy)
Today, the atmosphere in the venue lacked the usual cheerfulness.
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, sitting there, discussing the incident that had occurred at the emergency center that very day.
Such things happen from time to time; it wasn’t a rare occurrence.
The competitors, including Meng Xi, had returned one after another, sitting on their chairs, patiently waiting, their minds a whirlwind of thoughts.

When Chen Cang stepped out to hail a taxi, his phone rang.
It was Shi Yang.
"Hello? Chen Cang, have you returned to the hotel?"
Chen Cang: "I’m at the entrance of the emergency center, about to leave."
Shi Yang chuckled, "What a coincidence, I’m nearby too. Wait for me two minutes; I’ll give you a ride."
Two minutes later, Shi Yang’s car stopped by the side of the road, and after Chen Cang got in, he quickly expressed his thanks.
Suddenly, Shi Yang said, "I heard something happened today?"
Chen Cang nodded: "Yes, that’s right."
Hearing this, Shi Yang immediately asked anxiously, "Is it serious?"
Chen Cang felt somewhat relieved: "No, the rescue was timely!"
After hearing that, Shi Yang cursed under his breath in anger: "Those damn bastards, they really have no shame."
Chen Cang sighed: "There is still a long way to go."
Shi Yang also shook his head helplessly: "After I graduated, I worked at Xiehe for five years, and I couldn’t stand the frustration, so I took an opportunity to get into the medical device field. Later, I joined Medtronic and worked my way up to the position of General Manager for the East China region over six years."
"At first, I thought being a doctor would be prestigious, respected, and well-paid, but it turned out to be just so-so. It wasn’t until I joined the pharmaceutical company that I realized how in demand my Xiehe Ph.D. was!"
"In the hospital, I was just a junior resident, nothing at all. It sounds cool to say you’re from Xiehe, but in that circle, you’re really nothing."
"But when I joined the pharmaceutical company, I found that my Xiehe education and experience were highly valued. Essentially, I would switch jobs every two years, and in a few years, I had made it to the position of General Manager for the East China region. Before turning forty, I had earned what I would have made in a lifetime as a doctor. I think it was worth it."
"Moreover, now, if anyone messes with me, I’ll take them down directly. Everyone is human; why should I indulge them?
Why should I be held hostage by morality, as though I owe them anything? I think my current situation is quite good!"
Chen Cang nodded but didn’t say anything.
Shi Yang’s words were meant for Chen Cang, but they were also for himself, as a reassurance that he had no regrets.
After chatting for a bit, Shi Yang drove Chen Cang to the hotel entrance and suddenly said, "By the way, Chen Cang, I’ve brought you some local specialties as gifts. Give me your address; my company’s An Yang branch is sending a shipment tonight. I’ll have it delivered on their way, and I’ll make sure it gets to your home tomorrow."
Chen Cang quickly declined: "Brother Shi Yang, that’s too kind; it’s really not necessary."
Shi Yang laughed and shook his head: "It’s nothing expensive, just a few roast ducks and some snacks and drinks. It’s not about the value, just a token of my regard."
After some back-and-forth, Shi Yang said with a smile, "I just take a liking to you and want to make friends."
...
...
Upon seeing Chen Cang’s return, Meng Xi was immediately relieved, "Are you okay?"
Chen Cang frowned: "Why wouldn’t I be?"
Meng Xi, concerned, said, "I heard there was an injury at the emergency center, and I was worried it was you!"
Meng Xi liked to joke around, her personality fairly affable, a trait largely influenced by over a decade of living in the United States.
In truth, she seldom joked with strangers and always maintained a sense of distance, her self-protective instincts strong. However, with Chen Cang and others she was familiar with, she often made more jokes, sometimes even letting her mouth run wild, saying whatever came to mind.
Chen Cang understood this and didn’t find it odd; he simply laughed it off.
When she learned of the incident, she too was extremely worried, and her calls went unanswered.
Seeing that Chen Cang was unharmed, Meng Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
It was at this moment that Wu Tongpu ascended to the stage and, looking at the crowd, said, "Everyone, please quiet down."
As soon as the crowd saw Wu Tongpu, they immediately fell silent.
The incident had occurred at the emergency center, and as Wu Tongpu was the director there, everyone believed he would provide an answer to today’s happenings.
Looking at every person present below, Wu Tongpu said, "Let’s take care of business first, and then I will share some good news with you all."
Upon hearing this, anticipation immediately rose among the crowd.
Although they did not know what the good news was, everyone was aware that it was related to today’s medical disturbance.
With this thought, the crowd began to look forward to it.
When it came to the finals, everyone also started to get curious.
Who could it be?
Could it be Chen Cang?
The handsome young dark horse who scored full marks in three consecutive rounds this year!
Or could it be Chen Cang’s teacher?
Originally, Meng Xi did not have such strong popularity, after all, her surgeries weren’t that eye-catching and were of the more innovative kind.
But after people found out that Meng Xi was Chen Cang’s mentor, her stock soared!
Many also felt that it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility.
And then there were the veteran contestants, Sikong and Ding Yu.
Peng Lu’s elimination, though unfortunate, was not in the least bit undeserved.
Chen Cang’s skills were very strong!
His cardiothoracic vascular surgeries were definitely the strongest among everyone.
But today’s competition was about emergency and overall clinical skills, and it wouldn’t just be cardiovascular surgeries like now.
What is emergency?
It’s where anything can happen.
Any accident and patient are possible, testing comprehensive strength, clinical ability, and adaptability.
This requires a wealth of clinical experience.
After all, Chen Cang was still too young; he might be skilled in one type of surgery, but... it ultimately required a process.
The hostess, upon seeing the results in her hand, was momentarily taken aback.
Curiously, she glanced at Chen Cang, surprised that he had scored another 100 points.
Since the inception of the clinical ability segment, there had never been a perfect score because in clinical practice, it’s very hard to achieve absolute full marks.
The judges below, seeing the hostess suddenly stutter, also became curious.
Was there something amiss?
Only to hear the hostess loudly say, "Honestly, I was a bit shocked when I saw the scores just now, and I believe you all will be too when you see them!"
After saying that, the hostess pointed to the big screen, "Please look at the big screen!"
All the audience, candidates, and experts curiously looked over.
At this moment, Qin Yueming was still a bit nervous; he hoped that someone from Dongyang would make it into the top three!
Just then, the rankings and scores flashed up instantaneously.
The crowd looked up, and they were instantly dumbfounded!
"First place: Chen Cang, 100 points!"
The crowd was dumbstruck!
How could there be a perfect score?
Suddenly, there was a buzz of discussion below!
"Can you even get a hundred points in this kind of competition?"
"Yeah! It’s the first time in history!"
"Could there be some sort of rigging involved?"
"The person in second place only has 80 points, isn’t... the gap too big?"
"Right! What kind of gap is that?"
What do you think?
