All day long, many people came to Bikang to ask Shen Qiang to jump ship.

But the situation was strangely peculiar: the ones who came were either from nondescript small hospitals or top-tier ones like Medical University, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the Armed Police General Hospital.

Some of the hospitals that were neither top-tier nor at the bottom basically had no one come calling.

This situation was similar to that viral news report video, where the commenters were either experts or students still in school; others seemed not to care too much.

For instance, Shen Qiang's classmates were among them.

Apart from those interning at Bikang who knew a bit about Shen Qiang's recent status,

others simply did not care about him at all.

Especially since the exams had just ended.

Most were off merrily enjoying themselves.

Clearly, they weren't too concerned about news, especially reports regarding healthcare, which already had a low following. This resulted in either top-tier hospitals immediately recognizing Shen Qiang's unique talents, or small hospitals hoping to snag a bargain.

Those hospitals with a certain level of capabilities and reputation, on the other hand, weren't very interested in Shen Qiang.

This wasn't hard to understand.

In fact, what really props up a hospital are the ordinary surgeries, the ordinary patients.

Extremely difficult surgeries, on the contrary, are rare.

When evening came and it was time to get off work,

Shen Qiang just stepped out of the inpatient department when he saw Su Xiaonuan standing at the building's entrance with a smile, a bag in hand, looking at him.

"You came out two minutes before the end of the workday; that should count as leaving early," she said.

Shen Qiang laughed, "Are you here to supervise me?"

Su Xiaonuan's eyes crinkled as she smiled, "Not at all, I came to find a free driver."

Shen Qiang chuckled, "Okay, I get it."

Taking the car keys from Su Xiaonuan's hand, they both headed to the underground parking garage.

Once in the car,

they hit the evening rush hour, and the roads were completely clogged.

Sitting in the car, Shen Qiang listened to the Western music Su Xiaonuan played and breathed in the car's subtle scent of Incense; occasionally, he could also catch a glimpse of her long legs beneath her pencil skirt, and despite the heavy traffic, he didn't find it too bothersome.

"Um..." Su Xiaonuan hesitated before saying, "Many people came to the hospital looking for you today; have you decided where you're going?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "I've decided, going to the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University."

Surprised, Su Xiaonuan then spoke somewhat disheartenedly, "The Affiliated Hospital of Medical University is a first-class hospital in Provincial City; you'll have plenty of room for growth there."

Shen Qiang laughed, "What, you'll miss me when I'm gone?"

Su Xiaonuan's face turned red, and she replied delicately, "Why are you so shameless? You make it sound as if I definitely need a driver."

Shen Qiang, helpless, "Okay then, tomorrow I'll take the subway. It's faster."

Su Xiaonuan became unhappy, "That's so lacking in grace. I was just speaking offhandedly. With the traffic this bad, can't you just keep me company and talk?"

Seeing Shen Qiang's helpless expression, Su Xiaonuan seemed to sense that the atmosphere was a bit off and couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm just joking with you. But someone talented like you leaving Bikang is undoubtedly a loss for them."

Shen Qiang just smiled, saying nothing.

Su Xiaonuan, on the other hand, started talking more and more.

About the hospital's staffing structure, the conflicts between different departments.

Once the floodgates of conversation were open, they couldn't be closed.

Until they arrived back at Jinyu Huacheng.

Just as they reached the building,

Shen Qiang was shocked to see that the professional basketball player he had just chastised in the morning was standing formally dressed at the door with his assistant, waiting for him.

"Shen Qiang!"

Seeing Shen Qiang approaching, the professional player looked somewhat embarrassed.

Su Xiaonuan was furious, "Are you ever going to leave us alone? If you don't scram now, I'm calling the police."

Hearing this, the professional player was extremely embarrassed.

At that moment, the player's assistant, with a broad smile, said, "Don't be agitated, and please don't misunderstand us. Our boss is here waiting for Mr. Shen to sincerely apologize to him."

Upon hearing this, the professional player said, "I'm sorry if my actions offended you earlier, please forgive my impulsiveness and ignorance."

Such a change of attitude slightly surprised Shen Qiang.

The professional player's assistant bowed to Su Xiaonuan and said, "And to this lady, both I and my boss feel guilty for our previous frivolous behavior, we're sorry, please forgive us."

It's said that no one likes to hit a smiling face.

When these two lowered their stance and sincerely started apologizing,

the anger in Shen Qiang's heart dissipated.

Even Su Xiaonuan's expression softened.

"I can forgive you this time, but don't let this happen again," Su Xiaonuan said.

At this moment, seeing Shen Qiang smiling and about to head upstairs with Su Xiaonuan,

the professional player quickly stepped forward, "Mr. Shen, please wait a moment."

Shen Qiang frowned slightly and asked, "Is there something else?"

The professional player glanced awkwardly at his assistant and after receiving a confirming nod from him,

he bowed deeply and said, "Mr. Shen, I'd like to ask you to be my partner, let's play basketball together."

Su Xiaonuan was astonished.

Shen Qiang chuckled and said, "I'm a doctor, I'm very busy, and playing basketball is not suitable for me."

The professional player was shocked, then pleaded, "Mr. Shen, I truly admire your skills, and I have already spoken to our coach. If you agree, you can try out, and with your abilities, you can easily obtain a contract."

Shen Qiang smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry, but I have no interest in pursuing a career in basketball."

The professional player was astonished, "Why not? You could become a great star."

Shen Qiang laughed, "I have more important things to do."

The professional player fell silent.

But his assistant didn't give up, quickly saying, "Mr. Shen, please don't rush to reject us. Our boss is genuinely inviting you. If you are too busy at the moment, we can discuss this matter whenever you're available."

Shen Qiang said, "However you want to think about it, I am a doctor, and that's where my focus lies. So, I will never play professional basketball. Goodbye, that's all."

Having said this, Shen Qiang, accompanied by Su Xiaonuan, went upstairs.

Seeing Shen Qiang completely uninterested, Su Xiaonuan said with some disappointment, "Shen Qiang, I think you could give it a try, you look cool playing basketball, and I love watching you play."

"Really?" Shen Qiang was surprised.

Su Xiaonuan said, "Of course, on the basketball court, you're definitely the kind of person who makes girls scream the moment you take a shot."

At the entrance of the building.

Watching the professional player's resignation, he couldn't hide his disappointment and said, "Does he not want to play with me because he thinks I'm too weak?"

The young assistant consoled him, "Boss, maybe he really is just too busy."

Just then, Shen Qiang, who had entered the elevator, stepped back out and said to the disappointed professional player, "Hey, tall guy, although I can't join you in professional leagues, if you just want to play basketball, when I have some free time, I can join you at the community court for a game."

After saying this, Shen Qiang and Su Xiaonuan took the elevator upstairs.

The professional player, stunned at the entrance, stood motionless for a good ten seconds before he clenched his fist in delight and said, "Success! He's willing to play basketball with me. If I can hold up under the pressure in front of such an expert, I can definitely become the strongest power forward in the country!"
