Nan Feng remained silent without defending herself. She quietly stood up from her seat, walked to the back, put on a baseball cap, crossed her arms, and leaned slightly against the wall.
Despite her attempt to keep a low profile, there were still many people who pointed fingers at her.
The second round of testing began, and one by one, the candidates entered the examination room. After Nan Feng entered the examination room, she found her seat and sat down.
When the exam bell rang, the candidates began working on their papers.
Medicine was different from other subjects. Making a mistake in prescribing medicine could be fatal. So, when Nan Feng studied medicine, she never dared to be careless.
The questions in the current exam covered both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, with a wide range of topics and high difficulty.
Nan Feng uncapped her pen and started answering the questions one by one, carefully.
Time passed, and all the exam papers from the two rooms, with a total of 108 candidates, were collected. The medical association graded the exams on-site, and the candidates had to wait for an hour for the grading to be completed.
Nan Feng put on a cap, lowered the brim, and squatted in a corner.
At the beginning, the candidates were busy checking their answers and paid no attention to Nan Feng.
As they finished checking their answers, Mu Yun approached Nan Feng. In a low voice that others nearby could still hear, she asked, "Sister Ye, did you get the exam paper before the test?"
Nan Feng remained silent.
Mu Yun continued, "With Sister Ye's extensive connections and your excellent relationship with Lord Rongwu, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain the exam paper, right? Did Sister Ye already know the answers to the test questions? Can you check with me?"
Some nearby candidates overheard their conversation, and these two sentences quickly spread.
"That girl scored first place and caught the attention of a corporate tycoon."
"A corporate tycoon, a powerful one at that."
"She didn't even have to take the first round of exams. Did they reserve a spot for her directly?"
"Is the back door really that wide open?"
"You never know. Someone with a good-looking face might have some advantages. What can we do?"
In the beginning, when Mu Yun approached Nan Feng, she was the only one paying attention to her. However, as their conversation continued, more candidates started to take notice.
"I didn't see this girl in the first round of exams."
"I heard that someone got special treatment to enter the medical association this year."
"Is the medical association really allowing direct reservations this year? There aren't many spots to begin with, and if they reserve one, it will be even harder."
"You never know. Someone with a good-looking face might have some advantages. What can we do?"
The discussion continued, and it seemed that people were forming a small group of individuals who were not pleased with Nan Feng.
Then, the exam papers were graded.
Senior Sister Jiang Li came out with a grim expression.
When she walked out, everyone looked nervous.
The exam papers this year were extremely difficult, much harder than any previous year. Such difficult papers meant that many candidates might not make it to the third round of testing.
"Announce the results," Jiang Li said.
The large screen in front of them lit up, displaying the newly graded results.
Everyone started searching for their names, and soon, someone exclaimed in shock, "First place, Ye Nan Feng, full marks!"
"Full marks?!" "Really full marks?!"
"The second place only scored 83 points. My goodness, how far ahead is the first place?!"
"Who is Ye Nan Feng?"
"That's the woman, the one who cheated!"
Many candidates who found their own scores looked up at Nan Feng's score.
Finally, some of those who hadn't passed began to complain, feeling that they had no chance anyway and wanting to vent their frustration.
"Even with all our hard work, what's the use? Some people can just sleep with a man and get a perfect score!"
"Exactly, ten years of hard work can't compare to someone who opens her legs!"
"Open cheating!"
"She must have been prearranged."
"The Medical Association is shameless for allowing such cheating!"
"Yeah, it's just shameless!"
"Yeah!!"
Nan Feng looked at the score sheet.
During the exam, she did have a moment of hesitation. Should she aim for a perfect score?
She had considered doing her best on the exam, proving her true abilities, especially since she had to score at least 80% on the first round. Medicine required precision, and she wanted to demonstrate her skills.
But she had ended up...
Overachieving.
However, in previous years, the results were only announced by rank, and individual scores were not made public. Why were they revealing the scores this time?
Nan Feng looked at Jiang Li.
Mu Yun, seeing her own score of 71 points, then looked at Nan Feng, the top scorer.
At that moment, she thought about her own experiences over the past two years.
She had left the Z country and married a wealthy man abroad. After their marriage, the wealthy man promised that she wouldn't need to work, and he would take care of her.
She was overjoyed, thinking that she had found the right man. However, she soon discovered that the wealthy man not only kept her but also had three or four other women outside.
She had to juggle between these women, and it was exhausting. So, she decided to return to her home country.
In her home country, there was a high-quality man waiting for her, a man she had kept as a backup for years.
His name was Boshen.
Back then, she had saved him from a fire, and he thought she was his savior. They later reconnected, and even though he was already married, he was willing to divorce his wife for her.
She thought that with him, she would finally have a stable life.
But she didn't expect things to change so drastically.
The woman who had saved Boshen's life turned out to be Ye Nan Feng. She had become more beautiful and accomplished.
Boshen was smitten with her, unwilling to marry Mu Yun.
If not for the time when she had recently returned to the country, getting Boshen drunk and spending the night with him, establishing a physical connection.
Now, she feared that Boshen would no longer want anything to do with her. She had lost him to Ye Nan Feng.
Thinking of this, Mu Yun stood up firmly. "Sister Ye, you really know the answers, don't you? You're so amazing!"
