I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 318 - 317: Only Luo Xudong Is Worthy of Her

The Guzheng Level Ten sounds impressive, but if you know a thing or two, you’d realize that this so-called Level Ten is just the highest amateur level. The performance level above it is when you truly step into the professional realm of Guzheng!The piece that Beisitian played, a nameless tune, requires a professional level of Guzheng skill. Even if Li Ying wanted to argue, she couldn’t. Her Guzheng Level Ten couldn’t handle the various changes in the melody at all!

But why! How is this possible!

Beisitian is from a rural village, how could she have such a high professional level? And at her age, she would need to have been learning since childhood with professional guidance to possibly reach the professional threshold, but... isn’t she a Chinese medicine doctor!

Human energy is ultimately limited. How could Beisitian have such accomplishments in Guzheng and also be so advanced in the field of Chinese medicine? Li Ying certainly hadn’t forgotten that Beisitian had received three banners already!

Oh right, there’s also the Bangdi. Even in Bangdi, Beisitian is no ordinary person. She can harmonize with her colleague’s piano to elevate the singer’s voice to a peak, requiring at least several years of study to reach such a level!

"This time’s talent show, Beisitian from the health team is the winner!" The host, seeing the dust settle, hurriedly adjusted the microphone and announced.

She had almost been immersed in Beisitian’s music just now. It’s a good thing she snapped out of it; many people were still in a daze, until Yuan Guiling gave her a knowing look, prompting her to react.

Yuan Guiling also had some small thoughts. She thought that if by any chance Beisitian barely won, she would announce Li Ying as the winner. Such matters only hold weight with professional assessments since there really isn’t any professional Guzheng appraisal personnel in the audience.

However, after hearing Beisitian’s Guzheng performance, she let go of such thoughts with a bitter smile. The difference in skill was too wide; the audience isn’t deaf. Even those who don’t know the craft can tell who played well and who didn’t!

Yuan Guiling had worried when Beisitian accompanied Chai Xiaohu, and now it seems she was overthinking!

Who would have thought Beisitian’s level in Guzheng was this high!

Guzheng competition, Beisitian from the health team won??!!

Those who had always supported Li Ying wore expressions of disbelief. The darling of the art troupe lost at her specialty talent!

Backstage, the members of the art troupe were all astonished, mouths agape. Li Ying lost?

Li Na stared blankly at Beisitian standing on stage, smiling. The little Chinese doctor she had looked down upon, that imprudent little Chinese doctor, actually had such amazing talent!

Winning against Li Ying seemed natural to Beisitian. Li Ying wasn’t really at a high level; she just thought she was decent.

Li Ying’s expression was dazed, unable to believe she had lost. Her mouth opened, her dazed expression turning into one of disbelief, then her face looked very displeased, and her eyes were full of doubt.

Yuan Guiling knew Li Ying had never faced defeat before, and feeling a pang of concern, she worried Li Ying might do something out of line in front of the old leaders. She quietly walked over to her, gently held her hand, and smiled, saying, "The old leaders are here."

Li Ying felt her head burning, unwilling to believe Beisitian’s professional level deep inside. Just as she was about to step forward and question, Yuan Guiling’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her.

Whether she believed it or not, Beisitian genuinely demonstrated a professional skill level. If she recklessly questioned it, others would only think she couldn’t accept losing!

Li Ying closed her eyes briefly and looked at Yuan Guiling with gratitude. If she had blurted it out just now, she would have been embarrassed.

"Thank you, Sister Yuan." Li Ying tried to calm her emotions and said softly.

Yuan Guiling smiled, led Li Ying forward, and said to Beisitian, "Medical Assistant Bei, you’re truly remarkable. So young and not only skilled in medicine but also so talented!"

"Sister-in-law, you’re really amazing!" Li Ying had managed to adjust her emotions, smiling while gritting her teeth inside.

It’s okay; she still has tricks up her sleeve. Even if Beisitian won the Guzheng, Li Ying was determined to make her kneel in calligraphy!

Li Ying seethed internally, but her smile wasn’t as perfect as before. She could only slightly turn her head to avoid letting the audience see.

Beisitian only smiled at Li Ying’s insincere praise, saying nothing, nodding to Yuan Guiling, and then standing aside. Li Ying wouldn’t let it rest so easily.

Li Ying learned profound things. In fact, the most popular instruments these days are Western instruments like piano, guitar, and bass.

But not Li Ying. She believed that although many people liked these instruments, they couldn’t showcase a person’s depth!

So she chose classical instruments. These traditional instruments may not be popular or trendy, but they are cultural treasures. She was convinced that if she mastered them, she’d be unique no matter which art troupe she joined!

And things went as she expected. After arriving here, perhaps her ethnic dance wasn’t the best, and perhaps her piano wasn’t the best, but once she played a Guzheng piece, she enchanted the entire art troupe, gaining particular favor from Yuan Guiling!

Later, she also demonstrated good skill in the flute and harp, further impressing Yuan Guiling. But unfortunately, in singing, with Chai Xiaohu ahead, she wasn’t as prominent.

Apart from these, she also learned calligraphy to improve her overall level. For many people, musical instruments and singing are just for entertainment. But if she mastered calligraphy, it would significantly enhance the ’depth’ she always pursued.

Calligraphy lessons began when she was ten, with her family hiring a teacher for her. Even though Li Ying didn’t have much talent or insight in this area, diligence made up for it. She practiced day by day, year after year, earning much praise in calligraphy.

Up to this point, she considered herself truly versatile, worthy of the word ’talent,’ no longer appearing shallow.

Because of these achievements, Li Ying felt she was different from those around her. If they were all ugly ducklings, she was the swan!

Although she always acted amicably, she truly looked down on everyone inside, including Yuan Xiuli. At her age, she was only an assistant director with the rank of major. What a waste of years!

The only one she admired was Luo Xudong, this cold man who had earned a first-class merit in his twenties. Such a man was the only one worthy of her!

The first real blow Li Ying ever experienced came from Luo Xudong and Beisitian. She never thought much of Beisitian, but what upset her was Luo Xudong’s attitude. She, the darling of heaven, was willing to be with a man who had been married, yet he rejected her!

The more Li Ying thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
