Scared of Competing

These elderly individuals were more interested in research than in anything else.

As they were discussing these things, a middle-aged doctor appeared next to them. This man only started attending this medical conference in the past two years.

He smiled and asked Jian Yiling about the incident he read online:

"Dr. Jian, are you scared of competing against Dr. Fei? Is that news true?"

Jian Yiling merely glanced at the other person.

Elder Yun hurriedly defended Jian Yiling: "What do you mean by scared? That's definitely not the case. It's just that Dr. Jian isn't interested in competing."

Being scared to compete and not being interested in competing were two completely different things.
