My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1729 - 1728: Why Should I Be Eliminated?

"Hmph, there’s no need. There’s no reason to waste time on someone who doesn’t respect academia and medical ethics."

Old Li snorted coldly and said with disgust, "Thinking you can do as you please just because of a Dark Group background, well, you’re mistaken. I won’t allow this type of person to represent Imperial University in the medical competition."

"Alright, then I’ll go announce the results of this assessment."

Tan Yongsheng nodded repeatedly, also very supportive of Old Li’s opinion.

"Wait a minute."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang couldn’t sit still, "Regardless, Tang Ming is also from the Dark Group. Even though he cheated, he passed the first round of the written test. If we eliminate him like this, it’s hard to explain to the Dark Group!"

"Explain your ass! Academia is rigorous and noble; it won’t allow anyone to sully it, not even someone from the Dark Group."

Old Li glared at Tan Yongsheng and Old Zhang in discontent, "I was very unhappy when you two privately leaked the exam questions initially. If I had known about this, I would never have agreed to it."

"Ahem! The Dark Group is ultimately a special official department; I didn’t have a choice either."

Tan Yongsheng lowered his head awkwardly.

"Although that’s the case, I think directly eliminating him is ultimately not good."

Old Zhang frowned, helplessly facing Old Li, "Why not let him try? We’re the judges, just go through the motions, don’t let him pass, right?"

"I said there’s no need, and indeed there’s no need. Even if such a person has excellent medical skills, they have no qualification to participate in the medical competition. If he cheats in the competition later, we’d end up utterly disgraceful."

Old Li firmly expressed his stance.

"Well... Okay, then go announce it."

Old Zhang sighed, got up to prepare to announce the assessment results.

"Ah."

As Old Li got up, he instinctively rubbed his chest.

"Old Li, what’s wrong?"

Old Zhang quickly went forward to support Old Li.

"Nothing, maybe it’s just old age causing some tightness in the chest."

Old Li shook his head dismissively.

"Old Li, could there be something wrong with your health? Shouldn’t you get checked in the hospital?"

Tan Yongsheng asked with concern.

"Check for what? I’m a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine; Old Zhang is a practitioner of Western Medicine. We haven’t found anything wrong with me; what can a hospital find?"

Old Li cast a glance at Tan Yongsheng, "It’s just old age causing a decline in physical function—been sitting for too long, feeling lethargic, but it’s not a big deal."

"Alright, then let’s go announce the results."

Tan Yongsheng stopped speaking further, accompanying the two old professors outside.

Outside the door.

Tang Ming stood with a puzzled expression at the entrance. After Hua Yingjie exited, it was supposed to be his turn; why hadn’t his name been called yet?

"What’s going on? Why hasn’t the dean called Tang Ming?"

Meng Xianjun stood on the other side, asking Hua Yingjie in confusion.

"I’m not sure either, but Tang Ming’s medical skill is above ours. If we can pass the assessment, he definitely has no problem."

Hua Yingjie was full of confidence in Tang Ming.

"Indeed."

Meng Xianjun also nodded repeatedly.

"You two are happy, but I feel tragic. I’m just a freshman; I can’t treat illnesses at all, so there’s no way I’ll pass the assessment."

Shao Wuyou sighed bitterly.

The other students also had mixed feelings, each waiting in the hallway for the final notice.

Tan Yongsheng and the two old professors came out of the lab.

"Alright, the second-round assessment is officially over. Now I will announce those who have passed the assessment and are eligible to participate in the medical competition on behalf of Imperial University."

Tan Yongsheng adjusted his clothes and began reading the names of the students.

"Huh, I haven’t gone in yet, how did the assessment end?"

Tang Ming looked at Tan Yongsheng in surprise; could it be that the Dark Group was manipulating things behind the scenes to let him advance directly?

Or did they know that his medical skill was exceptional, allowing him to advance without going through the assessment?

It must be one of these; whether it’s the Dark Group operating behind the scenes or his medical skill being completely qualified to pass the assessment.

Tang Ming thought quietly to himself; this seemed to be an implicit direct advancement.

Hua Yingjie and Meng Xianjun also looked at Tang Ming strangely; based on their understanding of Tang Ming, they felt he was undoubtedly qualified to advance, so they weren’t too worried.

The other students were unsatisfied; they already knew someone cheated through the first-round written test, and now Tang Ming didn’t have to go through the assessment, making them also think he was directly advanced, feeling quite upset.

Tan Yongsheng read twenty names expressionlessly, then closed the notebook in his hand, "Congratulations to those whose names were called for successfully advancing and representing Imperial University in the medical competition. Those whose names weren’t called, you’ve been eliminated, but with continued effort in learning, you too can become outstanding medical professionals."

"I’ve been eliminated?"

Tang Ming’s eyes widened, momentarily unable to react, this was different from what he had anticipated.

Seeing Tang Ming eliminated, many students finally felt a sense of balance; one way or another, someone using unscrupulous methods ultimately couldn’t overpower righteousness.

"Wait a minute, Tang Ming hasn’t undergone the assessment; why is he directly eliminated?"

Hua Yingjie stepped forward anxiously to inquire.

"Yes! I haven’t gone through the assessment, why am I eliminated?"

Tang Ming quickly stepped forward to ask about the situation.

"Heh, why you were eliminated should be clear to you."

Tan Yongsheng chuckled coldly, looking at Tang Ming with disdain, "Imperial University is a leading institution nationally, and it won’t tolerate trickery and deceit. To compete in the medical competition, one must have genuine skill. Background alone isn’t enough to qualify for representing the school."

"This..."

Tang Ming’s expression stiffened, recognizing it stemmed from the issues during the written test.

"Alright! Those who passed the assessment stay; the rest can disperse!"

Tan Yongsheng instructed coldly.

"Wait a minute!"

Tang Ming’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.

"What do you still intend to do?"

Tan Yongsheng looked at Tang Ming with displeasure.

"Even if you’re eliminating me, at least let me undergo the second assessment, right?"

Tang Ming’s expression fluctuated; if Zhou Xiong hadn’t said participating in the medical competition was crucial, he might have given up. But things being as they are, he had to secure a spot.

"Young man, act with integrity; do you really want your actions to be exposed to the public?"

Old Li snorted coldly, looking at Tang Ming.

"Ha! What have I done?"

Tang Ming smiled faintly, facing the three individuals without fear, "I know why I’m being eliminated, but if Imperial University truly values rigorous scholarship, this shouldn’t have occurred. In the end, whose fault is it?"

"You..."

Tan Yongsheng’s expression froze!
