Chapter 1182: Registration
The next day, An Zhiyuan took Bai Xiao to register with the organizing committee.
All the participants would be arriving today.
The day after tomorrow is the first day of the competition.
The first round of preliminary matches involves selecting fifty national delegations from teams of one hundred and eighty countries to advance to the second round.
The preliminary round is participated at an individual level, which means the number of people in your delegation is determined by the number of individuals advancing to the second round.
Individual qualifications are the most crucial aspect.
Then, these fifty teams will compete in groups, and the ten teams with the highest total scores will enter the finals.
From these ten teams, the top three will be decided.
It's definitely not an easy task to go through all these rounds.
The workload for everyone is exceptionally challenging.
Before getting out of the car, Bai Xiao was stopped by An Zhiyuan.
"Xiaoxiao, be careful!"
He also needed to register today, as the learning conference was about to begin.
But this child's arrival was really concerning.
He understood Bai Xiao well. The fact that Bai Xiao could frankly tell him she couldn't have children proved that her body wasn't able to. Besides, he had heard that women with cold constitutions find it difficult to conceive.
The aftermath of Bai Xiao's special ability was not just a cold constitution, it was like being in the Arctic.
Bai Xiao herself couldn't treat it, and now she's inexplicably pregnant.
An Zhiyuan was genuinely a bit worried.
His biggest fear was that this child's arrival might bring some changes to Bai Xiao.
If these changes were positive, they would all be happy. But if they led to unforeseen directions, it was something none of them wanted to see casually happen.
He would rather Bai Xiao remain unchanged.
Their days together were very happy after all.
While children are indeed lovely, if it posed a threat to Bai Xiao, An Zhiyuan couldn't accept it.
Bai Xiao tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and joked at An Zhiyuan, "This would make me very satisfied, at least I'm not just raising my status by having a child."
"Xiaoxiao! Don't say such things. You are who you are, no one can replace the place you hold in my heart, no one!"
"Second brother, I'm just joking..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a kiss as light as a dragonfly had already fallen on her lips, and she instinctively closed her eyes.
A faint tobacco aroma mixed with the fresh scent of aftershave.
And a hint of the sweet taste of milk lingering on her lips...
An Zhiyuan quickly let go of her, but the warmth of his lips remained.
"Go ahead, and come back early when you're done. If there's anything you want to eat, just call me, and I'll buy it for you."
An elegantly boned hand reached over gently, and rubbed between her eyebrows, soothing the light in her eyes with warmth.
"Okay!"
She stood up and waved as An Zhiyuan's car drove away.
Turning, she entered the building. In the lobby on the first floor, there was a reception desk for signing in, with a big sign that read "China Medical Exchange Association Delegation."
Bai Xiao signed her name, collected the materials, and followed the staff's instructions to the multifunctional conference room on the twelfth floor.
There should be many people reporting there.
There were also many people of different skin colors, suggesting that this building housed delegations from various countries.
She entered the elevator and saw that someone had already pressed the button for the twelfth floor. With a smile, she glanced at the person, surprised to find it was two men in their forties, dressed in suits. Seeing that Bai Xiao hadn't pressed a button, they realized she was also headed for the twelfth floor.
Everyone subtly assessed each other, exchanging slight smiles and nods as a form of greeting.
About half of the attendees of this exchange meeting were the elite main forces from various major hospitals, and the other half were professors from Medical College institutions, averaging around thirty-five years of age.
Among them, Bai Xiao was very young.
She was indeed quite eye-catching.
Among the thirty people in the delegation, most would later advance to dean or vice-dean leadership positions.
At the least, in this competition, these "students" would have significant roles.
Holding the study materials and a directory of all participants, Bai Xiao entered the classroom of the training session.
A lot of people were already in the meeting room, and the stage was draped with red velvet, with several name signs, indicating that the meeting leaders were to attend.
Bai Xiao casually chose a corner seat. Sitting next to her was a man with glasses, wearing a light gray woolen suit, slicked-back black hair, and a suit that couldn't hide his protruding belly.
His gaze on Bai Xiao was somewhat cold, as he straightened his back with a hint of an intriguing superiority.
Bai Xiao returned his gaze with a polite smile.
At this moment, someone had already taken a seat on stage.
Everyone sat upright and solemnly.
After all, their responsibilities were different; this time, they weren't just healing and saving people but also shouldering the responsibility of bringing glory to the nation.
The person on stage was a leader from the Ministry of Health, and Bai Xiao smiled slightly when she saw him.
Her own uncle, Yu Shaohua, was sitting up there as the main person in charge.
Originally, she planned to visit her uncle and aunt after the first preliminary round, since coming to Capital City required her to pay them a visit.
But she didn't expect to see them here.
Of course, Yu Shaohua knew that Bai Xiao was present, as the list was determined by meetings held by their Ministry of Health, each decision being made.
Thinking of winning with their current medical skills was almost impossible, like a fool's dream.
So, their strategy was to not advance or retreat from their current ranking but to perform well, showing their style.
It was also an exhibition of China's learning spirit.
Since the exchange meeting was held here, they were well-prepared.
At least they wanted to make a stunning show once.
The highlight would be Bai Xiao's neurosurgery, a perfect neurosurgery, enough to bring them pride.
It could also broadcast China's reputation.
Bai Xiao as a main force was also because of their research.
Bai Xiao's medical skills combined Chinese and Western medicine, with the magic of acupuncture and Western surgical techniques! Many operations had verified that this youngest surgeon had integrated the essence of Chinese and Western medicine, and could represent China's medical community, supporting a piece of the sky.
Other departments weren't competitive.
So no one knew what the leaders had arranged.
After a barrage of encouragement and motivational words, the Ministry of Health leader announced the list this time, indirectly allowing everyone to get acquainted.
Only then did Bai Xiao realize that she was probably the youngest doctor here.
In the midst of a large group of uncles and aunts, uncles, and elders, she really stood out as a young person.
Many gazes fell upon Bai Xiao.
Although everyone specialized in medicine, Bai Xiao's fame wasn't enough to shock the entire medical community, only a small range of fame.
Many had heard of Dr. Bai, related to an epidemic antibody, but didn't know this Dr. Bai was a surgeon.
