Everyone surrounding Yao Tang was immersed in the discussion. They all kept glancing at the young woman, nodding thoughtfully.
“Miss Cheng Wei is right,” one of them whispered. “Master Yu Jingis one of the most famous doctors in the seminar. How could he be seated next to a young woman? She doesn’t even look like an expert.”
“Yeah, I wonder who she is. Why haven’t I seen her before?”
“Given her looks, she’s probably a mistress of some bigshot shareholder of the Jiangdong Group.”
“Still, I don’t get it. Given her status, how could she sit next to us? This is outrageous!”
A few of the old men immediately stood up and complained, staring at Yao Tang. They couldn’t believe that this young woman would best them.
They had no objections of Yu Jing sitting on the second row. After all, he was very much adept in the medical field.
It was also expected that Cheng Wei would be seated in the third row. She was an outstanding doctor in the neurology department.
But for this young girl to be better than them…That was something they couldn’t accept!
They scowled.
There were a few young doctors seated right at the back who had more conflicting thoughts. A part of them wanted to save the young girl from any more humiliation, but they could only wait and watch.
“I’m sorry, Miss.” The assistant bowed apologetically, waiting for her to take out her card. “But I would have to see your card.”
Seeing that everything was in a ruckus, Yao Tang shoved the report back into her bag and glanced at them lazily. She slowly pulled her bag over her shoulders.
Cheng Wei, who had been standing at the back, immediately recognized the branded bag at a glance. It was extremely expensive, and it was a limited edition design! She had wanted it for so long, but she just couldn’t bear to use her card after knowing the price.
How could an ordinary student like Yao Tang afford such a bag?
Were they right? Was she someone else’s mistress?
Thinking of this, Cheng Wei’s glare became even fiercer.
Yao Tang reached her hand in the bag and casually dug around, but she couldn’t find her admission ticket anywhere. The assistant must have noticed because he immediately took a step back.
His expression darkened.
She didn’t have an admission card! Either she had gotten her by chance, or she was made to come here by the higher-ups.
This must be more complicated.
No one could prove her identity, but she must have been brought here by some big shot. It wouldn’t be appropriate if he would just order for her to be kicked out.
Beads of sweat trickled down his forehead, and he looked around, unsure of what to do.
“You must have snuck in, right?” Cheng Wei rolled her eyes. “Weren’t you the one who treated Madame Cheng? You were supposed to treat her, but you almost brought her near her deathbed. Now that you’ve hooked yourself up with some hotshot, you think you own the world?”
Cheng Wei snorted. “Don’t bother coming here again. You’re an insult to all the doctors who came.”
The assistant turned pale. It was obvious that the other woman was also quite reputable, especially as she had the support of the majority. Glancing at his notes, he called for the Director—Liu Liang.
The old man immediately came running forward. “What’s going on?”
Upon seeing the crowd starting to form, he scowled. “Look at what you’re doing,” he snapped. “Why are we letting this young girl sit in the front row?”
“Even if she was a doctor, one shouldn’t be this arrogant in her profession.”
“Yeah, kick her out!” one rang out. “She’s not welcome at this conference. We’re supposed to be gathering and exchanging ideas, not picking up men.”
