Chapter 68: Entering the Competition Base
Fu Bing followed Elder Jiang to the competition base on the evening before the contest. Each competitor was allowed to bring two staff members, as stated in the competition guidelines. If she didn’t bring Xiaomei, Xiaomei would be on tenterhooks back at the villa. It was better to have her by her side to gain some experience. The competition was fraught with danger, and bringing Mu He along would also protect her and the other team members.
When they were about a kilometer from the base, Elder Jiang switched cars. Fu Bing and her two companions continued towards the base.
The trio first checked in at the hotel lobby.
A mocking female voice came from behind, "The Film Empress really knows how to make an entrance, bringing two people with her. Do you need help even when treating patients?"
Fu Bing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, beautiful woman standing about ten paces away. The woman was young but exuded a powerful presence. An undeniable arrogance emanated from her eyes and brows. If she hadn’t been praised and spoiled from a young age, she wouldn’t have developed such a temperament and air.
Fu Bing smiled faintly. "You seem to have quite an issue with me. However, next time you decide to provoke me, remember to introduce yourself first."
"You think you’re worthy?" Bai Zhirui said coldly.
"What? In your eyes, do those who save lives have different ranks?" Fu Bing, seeing that the check-in was complete, turned and left, showing no interest in her provocateur.
Too many people challenged her. Her celebrity status could be advantageous in some areas, but in fields requiring solid, tangible skills, it was often a detriment. Take her medical practice, for instance. Most people assumed she was merely dabbling, with no real accomplishments. Some even questioned if she was using traditional Chinese medicine as a gimmick to win favor. She couldn’t possibly explain herself to everyone. All she could do was to answer these doubts on the competition stage with integrity and honor.
Bai Zhirui watched coldly as Fu Bing’s figure disappeared.
