The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan and Zhao Liping's opponents started discussing it excitedly.

They felt that there was no need to appear so tense from the beginning of the match.

After all, those two people on the other side hadn't even figured out the rules of the exam.

The most important thing in an exam is to understand the examiner's meaning, of course.

Their actions now amount to a direct forfeit.

"I'm telling you, you don't need to wait for the answer to be revealed."

"Have some self-respect, turn left and get out of here," the leader smugly mocked loudly.

At this moment, Zhao Liping was somewhat unsure whether blindly following Chen Huan's instructions was the right thing to do.

But after carefully examining the two medicines I had chosen, I felt much more at ease.

Especially when she saw the slightly confident yet somewhat pretentious and smug look on Chen Huan's face, she was no longer worried.

Chen Huan's opponents were still excitedly discussing and mocking him.

The stern-faced examiner stood between the two groups.

"It's been announced." The man leading the group immediately pretended to maintain order.

He gave the impression that he was the leader of this group and the main character of today's assessment.

The examiner glanced at him and said slowly, "How do you feel about your performance this time?"

The man paused for a moment, then smiled ingratiatingly and said, "It's neither good nor bad, at least you passed the test."

This guy has already answered the question with the utmost humility.

The examiner nodded. "Feeling good about yourself? Alright, take your makeshift, rubbish team, turn left at the door, and you're good to go."

"What?" The man in the lead's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.

"What do you mean by a trash team? Why should we leave?"

By this point, his voice had risen considerably, and his expression was filled with doubt and anger.

The other dozen or so people around him also had different expressions, some were puzzled, some were angry, and some were nervous and worried.

"Have you carefully identified how many of these medicinal herbs have deteriorated?" The examiner's expression became even more serious.

  

The man in the lead immediately broke out in a sweat.

He no longer dared to answer questions casually.

At this moment, someone nearby muttered, "When identifying medicinal herbs, there's another one that seems a little off, but it's not obvious..."

"The question that can be given is to select only one type of spoiled medicinal material."

"So choosing the one that's obviously spoiled is wrong, isn't it?"

The examiner, hands behind his back, gave a cold snort. "Foolish."

"Learning traditional Chinese medicine also requires adapting to local conditions and knowing how to be flexible."

"The most important thing is to be meticulous, responsible, and accountable to yourself and your patients."

"Knowing that the medicine was showing signs of spoilage, yet turning a blind eye and failing to identify it, you are clearly not qualified."

"Therefore, it is you who should leave."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Huan and Zhao Liping, his serious expression revealing a rare hint of gentle smile.

"You did very well. You weren't misled by memorizing the questions, and you were very quick, identifying the spoiled herbs right away."

"You are talented, responsible, observant, and diligent. You have passed today's assessment on the first attempt."

"There will be other assessments to come, and I hope you will make the most of them and continue to work hard."

Zhao Liping was overjoyed, saying, "We will definitely work hard."

"Is there still an assessment?" Chen Huan asked, somewhat dissatisfied.

The examiner glanced at him. "What, you have a problem with that?"

Zhao Liping quickly put on a smile and said, "No objection."

The dozen or so people opposite them had already started blaming each other.

In the end, they all turned their anger towards the guy who was in charge.

Someone cursed, "It's all your fault. You had bad intentions from the beginning, harassing that woman, and then you got beaten up and were still not satisfied, so you wanted to retaliate."

"Now look what's happened, we've all been dragged into this."

"Is it easy for us to register for the exam?"

"If we miss this opportunity, we'll never have another chance. We'll just have to try our luck elsewhere."

"You bastard, shouldn't you compensate us?"

Someone immediately took action, grabbing the guy by the collar and pulling his hair in the blink of an eye, dragging him out of the courtyard in a chaotic mess, and continuing their argument on the street.

"A bunch of rabble." The examiner's face showed disgust and contempt.

At this moment, besides Chen Huan and Zhao Liping, there were three or four other people still in the courtyard.

They never intended to get involved in the conflict between the two groups from the beginning.

The examiners told them directly that they could proceed directly to the next round of assessment.

They were overjoyed and congratulated themselves for not following the crowd.

"Will this work?"

"They passed the assessment simply because they didn't follow the trend?" Chen Huan asked with a strange expression.

I suddenly found that examiner quite interesting.

Or perhaps this Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is something else entirely.

Zhao Liping whispered from the side, "Our county only has this one Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. I've heard that the person in charge of this association has a rather eccentric temperament, and is different from ordinary people."

"I've really seen it all today."

"From now on, could you tone down your attitude a bit?"

"If we offend them and they kick us out during the assessment, then we've come all this way for nothing."

Chen Huan didn't care. "If they really cared about this, they would have kicked me out by now."

"I'll say it again: if they arbitrarily expel people because of their bad attitude, then the qualifications issued by such a place are not worth having."

Zhao Liping rolled her eyes at him, "You're such a show-off. I wonder what brand of plastic bag you are."

The remaining participants in the assessment were already standing in line, waiting for the examiner to announce the details of the next round of assessments.

Chen Huan was also full of anticipation.

But he was different from others; he was purely curious.

The examiner cleared his throat, just about to speak, when suddenly a commotion arose outside.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people poured in from the direction of the door.

"What's going on? Are they the ones who left earlier?" The serious-looking examiner frowned.

"They don't seem to be the same group from before; they're all unfamiliar faces."

"Are there so many people here for the assessment today?" Zhao Liping observed carefully and immediately noticed that this group was different from the previous ones.

Chen Huan also noticed something: among the people who came, there were several well-dressed, young men who exuded an imposing aura.

When these people came in, almost all of them immediately looked at one person.

That was Zhao Yaru, who was standing to the side.

"No way?"

"These are all Zhao Yaru's suitors. They actually followed her all the way here?" This bizarre thought immediately popped into Chen Huan's mind.

At this point, he was still somewhat unsure whether his guess was accurate.

So he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yaru.

The expression on the other person's face had already given Chen Huan a definite answer.

"So, she really did come looking for her? That means she might be after me?"
