This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

I unlocked my phone; the text message was very brief.

"Congratulations to Zhou Cheng on passing the preliminary round of the 3rd Municipal Electrocardiogram Diagnosis Skills Competition with a score of 96 (ranked 6th)."

"The semi-finals will be held next Saturday at 9:00 AM at the Clinical Skills Center of Jinghua Medical University. Please log in to the official website of the competition to confirm your participation information before this Friday. Failure to do so will be considered as automatic withdrawal. The semi-finals will consist of on-site atlas analysis and case defense. Please refer to the official website for detailed rules."

With a score of 96, ranking 6th, this result was even better than Zhou Cheng had expected.

Being ranked 6th out of more than 300 people is already a very good result.

With more than two months left before his dismissal, his performance during the trial period was very low, and he only received about two thousand yuan a month.

After deducting rent, utilities, and monthly living expenses, you basically can't save much money.

Before graduation, it was understandable to ask my family for living expenses.

But now that I'm working, I'd be too ashamed to ask my family for money again.

If I could win a prize in this electrocardiogram competition, it would relieve some of the pressure of my current life.

Just as Zhou Cheng thought of this, he received a WeChat message from Su Yi.

"Old Zhou, the results are in. Did you make it to the semi-finals?"

"I made it in," Zhou Cheng replied immediately. "And you?"

"Damn, congratulations! You just got a certificate." Su Yi replied, "I only scored in the 40s and didn't get in."

With a score of 40-something, you definitely won't make it to the semi-finals.

However, Su Yi didn't care about the result. He sent another message: "Two other doctors from our department participated and made it to the semi-finals. One of them ranked quite high. I think he scored 94 points and was tied for 8th place."

"That's quite high." Zhou Cheng did not reveal his ranking.

For him, reaching the finals and finishing in the top ten is his ultimate goal.

"Hey, give it your all! If you can make it to the finals, that would be awesome!" Su Yi continued. "I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm playing games."

Zhou Cheng smiled and put down his phone.

He went to the window, looked at the stars in the night sky, and pondered how to prepare for his "dismissal".

Previously, he thought he could just lie down and be fired smoothly.

However, as Zhao Rui became embroiled in a serious medical dispute, Zhou Cheng began to worry.

……

The next day.

The weather was sunny, and when Zhou Cheng got up and opened the door, he happened to run into Lin Wei, who was also opening her door.

"Good morning," Zhou Cheng greeted.

"Good morning." Lin Wei smiled and nodded. Today she was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with the top two buttons undone, revealing her slender collarbone. She paired it with a light gray skirt that reached just above her knees, making her legs look thin and straight.

"I'm going to your hospital's laboratory building today." Lin Wei followed Zhou Cheng out the door. "I'm not very familiar with the area yet, can I come with you to the hospital?"

Zhou Cheng smiled and nodded: "Of course, but I need to get some breakfast first, want to come together?"

"it is good."

The two didn't talk much, but had breakfast together near the neighborhood.

Then, led by Zhou Cheng, Lin Wei entered the First People's Hospital of Jinghua City.

"The laboratory building should be behind the surgical building. There are signs on the roadside. Just walk straight in and then turn right. You should be able to see it."

At the fork in the road, Zhou Cheng gave Lin Wei a few words of advice.

"Okay, thank you." Lin Wei nodded, and the two parted ways.

As usual, Zhou Cheng walked into the emergency department building. Just as he entered the lobby, he suddenly saw his senior brother Fang Hang walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Good morning, senior brother," Zhou Cheng greeted him.

Fang Hang's smiling face reminded Zhou Cheng of Su Yi's mischievous grin.

Sure enough, Fang Hang immediately asked, "Your girlfriend? I saw you guys outside the hospital; she's been following you all the way here."

Zhou Cheng shook his head as he walked towards the emergency ward: "She's a college classmate. She just happened to be visiting our hospital for an exchange and learning session."

Fang Hang smiled and said, "She's quite pretty. You'd better hurry up and get her."

Zhou Cheng smiled helplessly and didn't explain much. Then he went to the duty room with Fang Hang to change into their white coats.

Pushing open the door, Zhou Cheng saw Zhao Rui sitting in the duty room eating beef noodles, the rich aroma filling the entire room.

Zhao Rui was in a good mood, it seemed that the medical dispute had made progress, or rather, had been resolved.

"Good morning, Senior Brother Fang!" Zhao Rui looked up and greeted Fang Hang, then glanced at Zhou Cheng before lowering his head again to eat his beef noodles.

"Good morning," Fang Hang replied indifferently.

Zhao Rui's performance in the department is well-known. Although people don't like his style, they still maintain a professional relationship with him on the surface.

Fang Hang turned to look at Zhou Cheng, "Junior brother, which class are you in today?"

"The emergency room, I guess." Zhou Cheng glanced at the duty roster posted on the wall of the duty room. "Senior, what about you?"

"I'm still in the ward." Fang Hang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hey, I remember yesterday was the electrocardiogram competition, right? Did you make it to the semi-finals?"

Hearing this, Zhao Rui, who was eating with his head down, also looked up and glanced in this direction.

"We got lucky." Zhou Cheng smiled.

Fang Hang, however, looked completely at ease, saying, "I told you long ago, you'd definitely make it through the semi-finals, and you might even make it to the finals."

In his daily clinical work, Zhou Cheng's electrocardiogram skills are unparalleled in the entire emergency department, even surpassing many senior attending physicians.

Fang Hang and Zhou Cheng were also quite close, and he was very familiar with Zhou Cheng's abilities.

"That's all we can do." Zhou Cheng changed into his white coat and walked out of the duty room with Fang Hang.

After watching the two of them leave, Zhao Rui, sitting in his chair, sneered. What's the use of making it to the semi-finals by sheer luck? Aren't we just there to make up the numbers?

As far as he knew, the Jinghua City Electrocardiogram Association attached great importance to this electrocardiogram competition and required each hospital to send its most elite young doctors to participate.

Previously, Wang Jianming, the director of the emergency department, approached Zhao Rui and asked him to participate, saying that if he could achieve a good ranking, it would boost his resume.

However, when Zhao Rui heard that all the big names in the city had participated, he realized that if he went to participate but couldn't even make it to the semi-finals, he would lose face.

Therefore, he rejected Wang Jianming's proposal.

Finally, this spot in the competition will fall into Zhou Cheng's hands.

What Zhao Rui didn't expect was that Zhou Cheng made it to the semi-finals. This kid is really lucky!

However, the semi-finals are full of ECG experts, so Zhou Cheng definitely won't make it to the finals.

……

It wasn't just Zhao Rui who thought this way; everyone else in the entire emergency department thought the same way.

Everyone was happy to hear that Zhou Cheng had passed the preliminary round and sent him their congratulations.

But when it came to the semi-finals, everyone just told Zhou Cheng to do his best, but no one believed he could go any further.

After all, all the electrocardiogram (ECG) experts in the city have gathered here, and the preliminary rounds have already eliminated those who were just trying to get by, such as Su Yi.

In the semi-finals, it's all about real competition!

Zhou Cheng didn't care what others thought; he just focused on doing his job well.

He was on duty in the emergency room today and did not need to participate in the morning handover, so he went directly to the outpatient department to hand over the shift to the night shift doctor.
