“Divine Doctor Sun Simiao? Heh, that’s really impressive. He’s definitely the fated person for this book, and he’s even willing to pay 200,000 yuan. Isn’t that the best of both worlds?”
Out-of-print books that were too good would naturally attract the attention of all parties. Once the books were brought to light, they would rush over immediately.
Sheng Yang wasn’t surprised at all, but she only raised her eyes. “I was here first.”
She could be considered to have bonded with the old man today. In front of her was another old man of about 60. He had white hair and was unsmiling. He looked very dignified. He was different from the other old man who had been kind and smiling. When he smiled, his face was full of wrinkles.
Li Mingde was not surprised by Sheng Yang’s words. “I know,” he said confidently.
Sheng Yang stared at him, waiting for him to say something. “But I still have to buy this book,” he said slowly.
Perhaps because he had been the dean for a long time and was used to being arrogant, he raised his hand forcefully. “Student, don’t be anxious. I believe you’re also a medical student. I personally approve of your spirit of exploring and seeking knowledge, but the stall owner has also said that he wants to find the fated person for this book. Obviously, I’m much more suitable than you are. This book will be of much more use with me than with you.”
Sheng Yang wasn’t annoyed. She just looked at Li Mingde and smiled as if she were watching a joke.
Li Mingde was not a man who could not read the room. He was suddenly angry. “What’s with your smile, student?”
“What a joke,” Sheng Yang said without holding back. Everyone gasped. This student was so brave. Wasn’t she aware of her standing?
That wasn’t right. They’d made it very clear just now. There shouldn’t be a problem as long as there was nothing wrong with her hearing.
Sheng Yang never gave anyone face. Even Ming Qi was treated as an equal. At first, Ming Qi wasn’t used to it, but later on, he automatically became a boot-licker and called her ‘Little Sheng Yang’ all day long.
Li Mingde wanted to flare up, but he held it in. Arguing with this girl, who was so much younger than him, would make him seem ungentlemanly. He had to differentiate himself from the average person.
He turned around again and looked at the book in the stall owner’s hand. It was extremely important to him. He had to get his hands on it. So, he said to the stall owner, “I’m the only one in the world who has won the Simiao Award. Since you said that only someone who’s fated can get this book, make it clear to her.”
Winning the Simiao Award was his best achievement, even more so than his title as dean of Mingde Hospital.
He was the only one in the world, and he didn’t like being second either. Usually, when he went to give a speech, he would often mention this award and win the unanimous exclamations of the medical students.
The stall owner scratched his head and smiled good-naturedly. He was a brave person. “It doesn’t seem much to bring up an award that has ceased selections since ten years ago.”
Li Mingde was so angry that his eyes turned red. His fists were clenched tightly. Faced with the intriguing gazes around him, he finally couldn’t take it anymore. He retorted, “…Go and try it yourself, then.”
The stall owner spread his hands. “You can’t compete until you’re 40. I didn’t have a chance. I was only 30 ten years ago.”
Li Mingde was speechless.
Sheng Yang looked at the stall owner. She found this stall owner very interesting.
The stall owner suddenly looked at the two of them. “Alright, let’s not keep you in suspense. I’ll tell you how I’ll decide on who’s the fated person.”
