Early in the morning, when the sunlight filled the windowsill, Su Xiaonuan nestled in Shen Qiang's embrace, tightening her arms around her slender waist and looking at her blush-tinted face, Shen Qiang chuckled and said, "Why not quit your job? I'll take care of you."

With her eyes closed and a blissful expression, Su Xiaonuan caressed Shen Qiang's cheek with her soft hand and spoke softly, "I don't want to be a canary in a cage."

Shen Qiang frowned helplessly, "What's so great about being an assistant director anyway?"

Even though Su Xiaonuan's charming eyes remained closed, a smile emerged on her lips. Because even now, Shen Qiang still didn't know that Bikang General Hospital was actually owned by the Su Family, and as the only daughter, Su Xiaonuan was the sole heir.

Blushing slightly, she kissed Shen Qiang's lips, and with a seductive figure, somewhat wearily stood up and walked toward the bathroom, completely unclothed, saying, "One should always do something they enjoy in life, so you lazy bum, it's time to get up."

Then, the sound of showering echoed from the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang, still lying in bed, couldn't help thinking about the previous day's events.

Ying Zhongyong was to be expected within Shen Qiang's forecast, nothing surprising there.

However, what surprised Shen Qiang more were Xu Nan and Bai Jiao.

Those two women were not simple at all.

And it seemed there was a deep grudge between them.

So all Shen Qiang could do was play dumb.

Because being self-aware is crucial, at least for now, he, Shen Qiang, was not in a position to reconcile two women with deep resentments with a few words, nor was he qualified to intervene in the rivalry between Cheng Xinyi and Wan Xin Hesheng.

As for playing both sides, favorably with Xu Nan, Wan Xin, and Hesheng and favorably with Bai Jiao, Cheng Xinyi, Shen Qiang had no interest in such double-dealing either.

Therefore, regarding his attitude towards these two women, Shen Qiang thought maintaining a gentlemen's agreement was better.

Getting too close to one side would inevitably alienate the other.

Besides, what Shen Qiang needed most now was development.

To enhance his cultivation, to improve his medical skills.

Otherwise, having his way would always be a mere fantasy.

Therefore, securing a formal contract with Medical University Affiliated and gaining qualification for further training was very important in the short term.

At 7:45 a.m., when Shen Qiang arrived at the entrance of Medical University Affiliated, he was about five minutes earlier than usual.

"Shen Qiang, good morning."

Seeing Ding Yuhuan hurrying to catch up, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Morning."

"Yesterday I took grandma to the park, and she actually managed to play shuttlecock," Ding Yuhuan said with twinkling eyes.

Shen Qiang smiled, "It's beneficial for the elderly to exercise, but remember to remind her not to overdo it."

"Yes," Ding Yuhuan nodded.

Just then, the fattie who had often hung out with Zhong Yongxi appeared before Shen Qiang with a cold sneer.

"Well, this really is a surprise, I thought today I wouldn't see you again, but you, Shen Qiang, dared to come to work. Let me guess, you must have been too scared to go to Zhong Family Medical Hall yesterday, right?" the fattie sneered, implying much.

Shen Qiang frowned and said, "Are you provoking me?"

"Provocation?" The fat man laughed, "How is that possible? You're not even qualified to provoke me. I just wanted to mock you because, had you not gone to the Zhong Family Clinic yesterday, Yongxi would not have spared you, and since you did go, there was no way you could have beaten him. According to the agreement, you are not allowed to practice medicine anymore in your life."

"And yet here you are, coming to work today. Clearly, Yongxi is not going to let you off."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Why are you so confident?"

The fat man raised an eyebrow, "Yongxi's medical skills are formidable. You could never be his match."

Hearing this, Ding Yuhuan, somewhat worried, said, "Are you from the Black Society? Shen Qiang's practice is licensed by the state; it's not your place to point fingers." After saying this, Ding Yuhuan pulled Shen Qiang away, "Ignore him, let's go."

Shen Qiang smiled and followed Ding Yuhuan, ready to leave.

Just then, the fat man's eyes lit up, and he blocked Shen Qiang's path, "Don't leave, Yongxi is here. Weren't you very arrogant these past days? Come, let me see how great you really are."

While speaking, the fat man took out his phone, aimed the camera at Shen Qiang, and said, "Come on, friends in the group, come see! The so-called fastest surgeon Shen Qiang is about to be humiliated by our little friend Yongxi."

The fat man continued to speak while proudly watching the group chat messages on his phone screen.

"Hahaha, Shen Qiang has been showing off in surgery lately. At home, it's always 'you're not up to par, you still need to cultivate' every time I hear about Shen Qiang and how fast he performs surgeries, it's sickening. Humiliate him, let me have some relief."

"Hehe, serves him right. I've been annoyed by him for a long time. Every time there's talk of surgery at home, people mention him. It's annoying as hell."

"Adjust the video angle properly; I really want to see Shen Qiang being humiliated."

The fat man chuckled, "Rest assured, not only is Yongxi skilled in acupuncture, he's also very good at humiliating people. Just wait for the show; Shen Qiang is done for today."

Hearing this, various messages popped up in the group.

"I've been waiting for this day. Ever since he was in the news a while back, my surgeries have never been praised again."

"Me too, damn it. If I were closer, I would definitely take matters into my own hands and teach him a lesson."

"Yeah, Yongxi's acupuncture is pretty good. He might not beat Shen Qiang in surgery, but in terms of acupuncture, he'll definitely crush Shen Qiang."

Seeing the messages in the group, the fat man raised an eyebrow in satisfaction and said to Shen Qiang, "You're finished, Shen Qiang. Weren't you very arrogant? Now, many people are going to see you being humiliated."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Want to see me make a fool of myself? You're not qualified yet."

"Still talking tough?" The fat man raised an eyebrow, "Seeing as you're about to be kicked out of the medical field, I won't bother arguing with you."

At that moment, Yongxi had already walked up to Shen Qiang.

The fat man, with excitement in his eyes, said, "Start, Brother Zhong, don't be polite with him."

Messages in the group were rapidly popping up.

"Looking forward to it!"

"Haha, Shen Qiang's humiliated expression is definitely going to be priceless."

"Yup, watching a show-off like Shen Qiang being humiliated is definitely going to be enjoyable."

And just as these messages popped up, the fat man, with a big smile on his face, saw through the lens of his phone that Yongxi, who had approached Shen Qiang, suddenly dropped to his knees with a thud.

The fat man was stunned.

And at that moment, looking up at the composed Shen Qiang with eyes full of admiration, Yongxi started singing, "Just like this, you conquer me! Just like this, cutting off all paths of retreat..."
