Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Back in 1996, when the daughter of the Old Xie family, Xie Wanying, said she wanted to be a doctor, many laughed. "Phoenix begets phoenix, dog spawns dog. A truck driver’s daughter becoming a doctor is as likely as a sow climbing a tree." "I’m not just going to be a doctor, I’m going to be a female chest surgeon," said Xie Wanying. Her words provoked even greater waves of disdain within the doctors' community. Relatives who were doctors ridiculed her mercilessly: "Do you know how high the admission scores are for medical students? Do you think you can make it?" "There are zero female chief chest surgeons in the country. Who do you think you are!" A bunch of people mocked her: "You'll probably only get into a third-rate medical college and end up as a health worker in a small county town. It's easy to imagine what sort of marriage you'll have." After the college entrance exams, Xie Wanying entered the top surgical class in the country with the highest science scores in the province, with department heads in the Capital’s top-tier hospitals vying for her from her internship beginnings. "Student Xie Wanying, come to our digestive surgery department." "No, she must come to our urological surgery—" "Pediatric surgery is in short supply of female doctors like student Xie Wanying." Circles of relatives and friends: … At this time, Xie Wanying independently completed the youngest Tetralogy of Fallot surgery in the country, represented the national association of chest surgery at an international medical forum, and published the world’s first minimally invasive heart valve repair surgery, becoming truly the foremost surgeon in the field of female surgery! As for the marriage concerns that everyone "worried" about: A brother from the Returned Overseas Faction, a hot bachelor within the Capital, changed his QQ profile picture to Junior Sister Xie. The young CEO, a handsome man, came to the hospital every day with flowers, keen to offer a diamond ring. Not to mention, a whole host of suitors had long since worn a path to the Old Xie Family's doorstep...

Okay, there will be no harem, but I won't contribute anything. Many fanfiction received such support, in the end were dropped, abandoned by the author or lost public support in the face of other better stories. Remembering that harem is the top 20 most famous tag.

The first chapter was bribed with its brevity, the second chapter was length. But the author skillfully used the right emotions to show how the character of the novel feels. At first I thought that it was a bowling alley, but it seems here the story is twisted more than fast-catching! In two chapters it’s still difficult to judge the whole novel, but for sure, we can say that it is intriguing! The third chapter was somewhat reminiscent of Ray Bradbury’s story "Uncle Einar". The same beautiful, kind and interesting. Oh, and here is the "Index ..." the same Toaru Majutsu no Index ... amusing, extremely amusing ... when I read Ursula Le Guin, I involuntarily recalled Tolkian's "There and back or the adventures of the Hobbit." Probably many repetitions are in the novels of the 20th and 21st centuries. The third chapter is the most intriguing ... it’s still difficult to talk about the whole novel, but I liked it for its unusual style, such a simple one, and airy like a cloud. With an interest

Didn't we agree that we wouldn't be bad singers?

In his previous life, the singer and songwriter Tao Yao, who ate the northwest wind when she was hungry and drank the toilet water when she was thirsty, had inexplicably transmigrated to a parallel world while she was washing the toilet. However, he found that there was no Jay Chou, Zhou Shen, Deng Ziqi, Faye Wong, and other well-known superstars in the world. There were only a bunch of singers that he had never heard of and their unbearable songs. When Tao Yao, who had countless classic songs from all over the world, met a boss who only wanted to ruin the company as soon as possible, what kind of sparks would there be between a genius and a madman? "What? Didn't you guys say that the lyrics of 'Skateboard Shoes' are at the elementary school level? Why is everyone singing?" " No, didn't we agree that everyone likes a more authentic European and American style? Why is this song,'Young For You', which doesn't even have a standard pronunciation, so popular?" "Hey, hey, that's too foul. How can a random song from the northeast that sings Two-people Rotation on the street become popular? What the hell is this 'Xianer'?"
