"Professor Gu, Deputy Captain Gu, don''t you think it''s inappropriate to say that? This team doesn''t belong to you alone, and you don''t get to decide who stays and who leaves. Once everyone has signed up for thepetition, their qualifications are the same. Who knows, maybe you''re not more qualified for thepetition than she is."

Qi Yuqing was extremely grateful. Who dared to be so bold?

She looked over and, well!

My idol is mighty.

Bai Xiao walked out from behind the crowd, creating a path instantly.

Gu Yangzhi nced at Bai Xiao, "Dr. Bai, as a deputy captain, I have the authority to decide who is hindering the team''s core fighting strength and revoke their qualifications." He was unafraid, confident in his own formidable capabilities within the delegation.

He believed that so far, no one could surpass him.

The so-called captain had never shown up, nor had anyone announced who the captain was.

He didn''t think anyone couldpare to him.

"Well, I''m sorry! My view is just the opposite of yours. I think Dr. Qi might be the key to victory in thepetition. Have you ever yed chess? Even a pawn can be the ultimate winner.

Moreover, there is nothing wrong with Dr. Qi. Simply iming she is unqualified based on a few words might be unjust."

"Ha, unfortunately here I am the deputy captain and I make the decisions. Dr. Bai, I am also questioning your qualifications, you''re like a y Buddha fording a river, unable to ensure your own safety, yet you want to protect others. Give it up!"

Gu Yangzhi showed significant disdain, held Bai Xiao in contempt, and didn''t believe that anyone would be able to secure Qi Yuqing and Bai Xiao this time around.

Thepetition was starting tomorrow, and even if he went overboard now, these two couldn''tpete. Their qualifications would be revoked, but at this point, no one could shake the foundation, so Gu Yangzhi was fearlessly confident.

Besides, he didn''t believe he was wrong.

He was upholding justice.

That Qi Yuqing was evidently trying to defend Bai Xiao, surely birds of a feather, such people couldn''t be part of their team, adding glory to themselves was not what their honor was for.

Qi Yuqing, of course, knew that she was a nobody in the delegation, insignificant, and didn''t want Bai Xiao to be really dealt with by Gu Yangzhi because of her.

She tugged on Bai Xiao, "Dr. Bai has nothing to do with this matter, please don''t inadvertently involve others. Also, don''t drag your personal grievances into national affairs and the nation''s honor. Dr. Bai is a very good doctor! Please don''t make things difficult for her."

She actually gave herself up to defend Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao sighed, truly a diehard fan.

Gu Yangzhi was both angry and amused.

"You''re already in such a state, yet you still think about protecting others. You didn''t even see what this Dr. Bai is about, and you''re still advocating. I''m telling you both, you''re disqualified now, you can leave." Gu Yangzhi shamelessly pushed things to the absolute, ignoring the people around who wanted to resolve matters peacefully.

"Professor Gu, please calm down, there''s no need to be so agitated. We''re all here for thepetition. It''s unnecessary to shake morale now. Let''s overlook this on the ount of us old folks, let them, and you reflect deeply, how about that?" Several senior professors stepped forward to speak, trying to mediate.

After all, Bai Xiao and Qi Yuqing being picked for the delegation certainly indicated they had some skills.

With thepetition imminent, why push talent away?

They also couldn''t stand Gu Yangzhi''s dictatorial manner, acting like his eyes were on the top of his head!

There''s no one here he considers worthwhile.

No onepares to him.

Not afraid to offend people, his mouth was sharp and hard tomunicate with.

Right after the leaders left, he started stirring up trouble.

With such an event, morale was unstable and the team wasn''t united, how could theypete?

They hadn''t evenpeted with others, and internal fighting had already begun.

"Ha, no way, do I not even have this little authority as deputy captain? If I don''t, what''s the point of continuing as deputy captain? Can I leave now?

If I have no voice here, why am I even staying?"

Gu Yangzhi leisurely found a chair to sit on, crossed his arms, and indifferently watched everyone before him.

He knew full well he was the core of thispetition, without him they couldn''t function.

This was both a threat and a demonstration.

The choice was to be made between Bai Xiao, Qi Yuqing, and him, to assert his position.

Others felt troubled.

"Professor Gu, that''s not the issue here. Why bother arguing with these young folks, it doesn''t do favors for your dignity you know."

"I don''t have anything to worry about! Just decide now! Should I leave or should they?"

The crowd exchanged uncertain nces.

Some were already wavering inside! Inparison, Gu Yangzhi undoubtedly had the upper hand, considering he returned from America! His experience and what he learned were more aligned with thispetition''s needs. If they wanted to bring glory to the country, they truly couldn''t offend Gu Yangzhi.

But everyone knew about Bai Xiao''s situation, being youthful and sharp wasn''t necessarily a good thing.

It seemed like it was time to make a choice!

Sighing internally, they really had no solution.

"Dr. Bai, Dr. Bai!"

The conference room door burst open, with such force that it mmed against the wall, then rebounded.

Everyone looked over.

That person was really rude.

Gu Yangzhi stood up abruptly.

"Teacher, why have youe here? If you needed anything, you could have called me, I could have taken care of it directly, there''s no need for you to make the trip!" Gu Yangzhi''s face was full of smiles, his whole demeanor shifted from aloof to shining bright and warm like the midday sun.

Several people sneered, that change in attitude was too quick!

Many also recognized him, wasn''t this the famous Smith, who was one of the judges for this exchange meeting.

Smith immediately noticed Bai Xiao standing in the corner, his eyes shining as if a wolf seeing meat.

Without caring for his student, he roughly pushed him aside.

"Dr. Bai! Dr. Bai! Finally, we meet again! I didn''t have a chance to thank you for Mike''s matter. He has recovered very well; there hasn''t been any rpse in over a year, he''s fully recovered." Grabbing Bai Xiao''s hand vigorously.

"Mr. Smith, please let me go, I''m feeling dizzy." Bai Xiao was overwhelmed by the strong scent of Smith''s cologne, feeling nauseated.

She was already experiencing pregnancy sickness! This scent made all her organs protest.

Smith, embarrassed, finally released her.

"Dr. Bai, you don''t look well, are you sick? You can''t fall ill! I wanted to discuss with you about the vascr nerve positioning issue during thest surgery. That margin of error was crucial. I researched back home and found a case identical to Mike''s, but because they cut a bit too deep, the person is now half-paralyzed.

Your reminder was really important, changing many patients'' futures since then."

He was about to approach again.

Bai Xiao directly stepped back.

"Mr. Smith, if you could take a shower and skip the cologne, we can continue our discussion. Otherwise, I can''t handle the smell." Bai Xiao turned and rushed to the restroom to vomit intensely.

Smith smelled himself, was it really that bad?

Dr. Bai was driven to vomit, so Smith turned and ran.

"Dr. Bai, wait for me, I''ll be right back, you must wait!"

He didn''t forget to remind Bai Xiao.
