In the afternoon, he returned to the hospital and, despite the rush, still performed a surgery.

Just as he left the operating room after the surgery, Shen Qiang received a notification from the nurse, asking him to go to Director Liu's office.

Shen Qiang felt a movement in his heart; it was the second week of the trial period at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital. According to the original situation, one more week of trial was needed before finally deciding who would stay and who would leave, but now, as Fatty He had died and the others meant to leave had already left.

So, when Director Liu called Shen Qiang to his office at this time, it was very likely about this matter.

He hurried to Director Liu's office.

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Qiang saw Zhong Yongxi, who immediately addressed him respectfully with a look in his eyes, "Ancestor Master."

Shen Qiang was helpless.

"Doctor Shen." At this moment, the very fierce-looking Geng Liang greeted him.

Shen Qiang smiled and nodded.

At that moment, Director Liu, sitting behind the office desk, coughed and then opened a drawer, took out a document, and, while looking at it without even glancing at the others, said, "We have received a report from the police, stating the unexpected death of young He."

Looking at them over the frames of his glasses, Director Liu said, "It really is a regrettable event, but work must continue. Due to his unexpected incident, Geng Liang, Zhong Yongxi, Shen Qiang, you three have obtained an official contract."

"At the same time, to avoid affecting the normal work of the hospital, you will take a day off tomorrow. On Monday, you will come to sign the official contract, Yongxi will start working officially in Neurosurgery, and Geng Liang and Shen Qiang, you two, one will be assigned to trauma emergency, and the other to Tumor Surgery."

"However, as the Tumor Surgery operating rooms are limited and there are also many doctors in trauma emergency, after signing the official contracts, you two can take a week off and then you both will go to Medical University to officially start your master's research studies."

Shen Qiang's eyes lit up, his heart racing.

All along, many times, people in the secular world questioned Shen Qiang's Medical Skill because he only had an undergraduate degree.

But now, things were different. If he proceeded with master's research studies and everything went smoothly, he would soon be able to obtain a master's degree in medicine. By then, he believed no one would question him again.

Not only that.

More importantly, in his heart, Shen Qiang genuinely disliked being tied down to life in the hospital.

As for studying for a master's, as long as his grades met the standard, he was free the rest of the time.

This was simply perfect!

While excited, Shen Qiang also couldn't help but be curious about Geng Liang.

This guy must be quite formidable in the field of trauma emergency.

Moreover, he had transferred from the military.

He was also quite older.

His participation in further studies was rather interesting.

At that time, Director Liu said, "Considering that Geng Liang will also be involved in compiling the trauma emergency textbook, he will serve as a teaching assistant while pursuing further studies, mainly assisting with the teaching work of trauma emergency. You two. As for the base salary, it will be the same as when you were in the hospital, as for whether there will be a bonus or how much the bonus will be, that will depend on the school's decision."

Geng Liang smiled and said, "No problem."

Shen Qiang looked at him with bright eyes and said in surprise, "Involved in compiling the trauma emergency textbook? Impressive!"

Geng Liang smiled and replied, "It's all theoretical stuff. In the military, we study these things all the time. When it comes to actual surgery, I'm far behind you."

Shen Qiang laughed, and so did Director Liu, "Geng Liang is the author of the new textbook on battlefield medical rescue, quite impressive indeed. He is a talent that Medical University expended great efforts to unearth."

"No wonder!" Shen Qiang looked at Geng Liang, the fog of confusion in his heart instantly dissipating. After all, Geng Liang was an expert in battlefield medical rescue, so it wasn't surprising that Medical University had shown an intention to retain him from early on.

It was clear that he was a talent in teaching.

Watching Shen Qiang, Director Liu spoke somewhat awkwardly, "Shen, your strength in tumor surgery is indisputable, but the hospital has many doctors and few operating rooms. When you're at work, someone else has to stay home and rest.

"It isn't too bad for a short period, but over a long time, people inevitably get upset, complaining about resigning or switching jobs. You're young, and work is for a lifetime, not to mention that you aren't lacking in this work experience."

"So, the hospital wants you to take study leave without pay. After you've completed your studies, we will make other work arrangements for you, whether it's in our Affiliated Hospital, the Second or the Third Hospital. There will definitely be a position for you," he explained.

Shen Qiang was astonished. Study leave without pay? That was incredibly cool—it was like being handed a pillow when tired!

You should know that Shen Qiang had many ways to make money now. Be it treasure appraisal or refining Elixir Pills, casual effort in any of these would bring income he couldn't earn in a lifetime of work.

In this situation, such an arrangement was of course the best. There was no need to be tied down. To be free and unbounded, even missing a few thousand yuan each month, was no loss at all.

Seeing Shen Qiang silent, and thinking he was unhappy with the arrangement, Director Liu spoke with a touch of awkwardness, "Shen, I'm not making up excuses; this is truly the situation in our Medical University Affiliated Hospital. With limited operating rooms and many doctors in their prime with families to support, they rely on their monthly salaries and bonuses to live, so you..."

Looking at Director Liu's distressed face, Shen Qiang smiled, "No problem, since you've said as much, I will definitely comply with the organization's arrangement."

Hearing Shen Qiang nod so understandingly, Director Liu felt somewhat embarrassed and hesitated before speaking, "Long live understanding, Shen. You're not getting any younger, you should start considering finding a girlfriend or something. You can't earn money all the time, but you should have enough to go see a movie or have a meal."

"Otherwise, see if you have any decent medical research topics. If appropriate, I will help you try and secure a position as a teaching assistant; the money might not be much, but at least you won't be without pocket money," he suggested.

A teaching assistant?

Shen Qiang's eyes brightened.

This was a stepping stone.

Generally, a regular teaching assistant is a new teacher who is involved in teaching support work for a year or more before being hired as a lecturer, to become familiar with the university's basic teaching environment and organization. Such a person has a salary and is considered a non-tenured faculty staff member.

On the other hand, an irregular teaching assistant is chosen by the professors themselves from among their graduate students to help them out. This type of assistant does not get a salary and is essentially akin to a junior organizational leader.

The work of a teaching assistant mainly comes in two forms.

The first is to assist the professor with their work.

The other is to help with a course, which may be taught by several professors together or may be guided by a professor and taught by the assistant themselves.

Geng Liang's emergency trauma care was clearly the latter type.

Now, if Shen Qiang wanted to acquire the qualifications of a regular teaching assistant, he had to have a good reason: either to teach his own powerful techniques or find a research topic of interest to Medical University.

Shen Qiang's strength in surgery was fundamentally due to his Cultivation skills, the precision from Mixed Arts, and the remarkable balance after opening up the governor and conception vessels.

This was not something that could be taught.

So he could only start from a research topic.

"By stabilizing Thermophilic Streptococcus to solve lactose intolerance in infants and young children," Shen Qiang said with a clear gaze. "This research has already been preliminarily successful."

Director Liu's eyes immediately lit up, "Good, bring a report on Monday, they might be very interested in it."
