"Ivy, why aren't you going in?" The voice of Professor Smith came from behind, and Ivy turned to see Professor Smith, whom she hadn't seen in years, walking toward her with a smile. It had been three years, and the professor, who had been immersed in research, now had a few strands of white hair at his temples and a tired look on his face. However, upon seeing his star student, his fatigued eyes were filled with excitement. Ivy was a genius that Professor Smith had never encountered in his half-century of teaching. If not for the mistake three years ago, her achievements would have surpassed his. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. At this moment, the classmates who had been making noise also fell silent. The door to the private room opened, and Professor Smith happily stepped aside to let Ivy in. As soon as she entered, she could clearly see the undisguised aversion and disdain in the eyes of everyone in the room, especially from the one who had been the loudest and harshest critic a moment ago, Tanya. Tanya currently works at City A First Hospital and is a subordinate of Professor Smith. After Ivy's incident three years ago, Tanya replaced Ivy and began assisting Professor Smith. Leveraging his reputation, she quickly rose through the ranks at City A First Hospital and became the chief attending physician of the Orthopedic Surgery department in less than three years. However, only Professor Smith knew that Tanya's abilities didn't even come close to one-tenth of Ivy's. Seeing Professor Smith being so close to Ivy and completely ignoring her, Tanya made a sarcastic remark, "Professor, why are you still so good to this criminal disciple?" "What are you saying, Tanya?" Among all the classmates, Lilith came from the most privileged background, and she wasn't about to indulge Tanya's melodrama. She rolled up her sleeves as if she was ready to confront her. "Lilith." Ivy held her back and shook her head. Other classmates, seeing Professor Smith's displeasure and Lilith's protective stance, also restrained Tanya. "Forget it, Tanya. You're the campus beauty of City A Medical University, and your father is an invisible wealthy man. You're currently the chief attending physician at City A First Hospital, which is under the umbrella of the Landry Group. You've inherited Professor Smith's legacy. Don't be so narrow-minded." Although it seemed like they were belittling Tanya, it was actually a form of praise, which greatly satisfied Tanya's vanity. Looking at Professor Smith, who had a serious expression, Tanya apologized in a soft tone, "I'm sorry, Teacher. I was just worried that you might be dragged down by all this and spoke without thinking." After that, she inclined her head slightly toward Ivy and began to apologize more sincerely, "I'm sorry, it was a class reunion, and I shouldn't have said that about you." Without waiting for Ivy's response, Tanya changed the topic, "Ivy, I heard you're now working as a physician at Ordinary County Clinic?" "County Clinic?" The classmates were taken aback, exchanging puzzled looks. "Isn't that the poorest clinic in City A?" It was clear that the former academic star of City A Medical University had fallen to become a barefoot doctor in the poorest county. The people of County Clinic are truly pitiable, having ended up with such a doctor. Sooner or later, they will die on her operating table. Thinking of this, their classmates looked at Ivy with increasing disdain in their eyes. Having achieved her goal, Tanya continued, "If any of you need help with medical consultations, please let me know. We, from the First Hospital, can offer assistance." "I'm currently working at a humble clinic in the County," Ivy replied without a change in her expression. She turned and took out her business card from her bag, calmly distributing it to all the classmates present. After a quick glance, everyone simply used the cards as makeshift coasters. They had all gone to the poorest county to practice as doctors, and some of them had even caused deaths during their practice. Holding these cards was seen as bad luck. Only Professor Smith carefully tucked the business card away, thinking that Director Malcom had a keen eye for talent and had not rejected his request to hire Ivy back then. With someone like Ivy on their side, Director Malcom and the humble clinic would be blessed in the future. "Tanya, where's your business card?" Several sycophants eagerly looked at Tanya and flattered, "You're currently at the First Hospital of the city, and you're Professor Smith's favorite disciple. I need to get in touch with you." Tanya was basking in their adulation, gracefully rising to distribute her business cards to everyone, causing a burst of cheers."Alright, it's getting late; it's time for dinner. The guest of honor will arrive later. Let's eat first," Professor Smith interrupted the praises of the crowd with a smile, signaling the waitstaff to bring the dishes. Several waitstaff entered in an orderly manner, while Tanya was still handing out her business cards on the other side, immersed in her classmates' compliments. Unbeknownst to her, as she turned around, her high heels accidentally landed on a waiter's leg. The waiter shouted in pain, falling backward, causing several other servers carrying dishes to fall like a deck of cards. "Are you okay?" Ivy bent down to check on them, helping each person up. Only the female server who had been stepped on by Tanya was holding her leg in pain on the ground. "Get up quickly!" Tanya thought she was trying to embarrass her on purpose, impatiently nudging her with her high heel to save face. However, after this nudge, the female server immediately began howling in pain. "Ouch!" Ivy's expression changed, and she immediately leaned down to inspect the injury. "Don't move; let me have a look." Tanya, standing arrogantly, scolded, "Don't try to extort me. I'm a specialist in orthopedics. It's clear that you're trying to blackmail me!" Ivy glanced up at her and said, "She has a fracture." Tanya's expression froze. "How is that possible?" Seeing their classmates growing anxious, she quickly waved her hand and said, "Oh, even if she has a fracture, would I not know? Ivy, you're just a quack doctor who doesn't know anything. Stop talking nonsense!" Professor Smith also came forward to examine the situation and, after exchanging a look with Ivy, immediately instructed the manager behind him, "Get an ambulance quickly; it's a fracture." ***
