Hearing this, the eyes of the beautiful journalist immediately lit up, because she knew that such a statement from Li Hongyu was itself big news.

But at this moment, Director Su's face had already turned ashen.

In fact, from the very beginning, Director Su had believed in Shen Qiang's capability to perform the surgery. However, the patient's family repeatedly insisted that the surgery must be performed by an expert because they were not short of money.

That's why Director Su chose to invite Li Hongyu from the Provincial People's Hospital. After all, he was a professor and a surgical expert, not only accepted by the patient's family but also highly regarded by Director Su himself.

Moreover, from his perspective, although Shen Qiang was indeed very skilled in surgery, he had not yet signed an official contract. Under such circumstances, relying heavily on Shen Qiang was undoubtedly foolish.

Because once Shen Qiang achieved fame from this success, many hospitals would undoubtedly want him.

After all, this is the Provincial City. Just the fully licensed regular hospitals alone number over a hundred, not to mention various community health centers and messy clinics.

Thus, having Shen Qiang perform the duodenal surgery made Director Su instinctively resistant.

But now Director Su was very clear. If this surgery was unsuccessful, it would be the end for Bikang. Once the reputation of being a substandard hospital got out, where would they find patients to treat?

No patients coming for treatment, no salaries to distribute. Who would work there?

The better medical staff would switch jobs immediately.

Bikang would truly become worthless.

By that time, other than shutting down, Bikang would have no other way out.

"Professor Li, could you please be more specific?" the female journalist pressed on.

Li Hongyu gave a proud smile but before he could speak, the director of general surgery exploded. He suddenly stood up and said, "Li Hongyu, don't push your limits. Your surgical skills are no better than mine!"

"Indeed, thinking you're above everyone else just because you carry the title of an expert?"

"What are you exactly, coming here and putting on airs? If Shen were to perform this surgery, he'd scare you to death!"

Hearing the words of many Bikang Surgery key members, Li Hongyu smirked proudly and said coldly, "Bikang is just a private hospital. What competent doctor would stay here?"

"They are nothing but a bunch of incompetent fools, with their specialty being boastfulness."

Pointing fiercely at Wu Guoxi, Li Hongyu said coldly, "That man is the deputy director of Bikang Hospital's Tumor Surgery department. He says the duodenum surgery can be done in an hour. Such a person, lacking even basic knowledge, can become a director. Imagine the overall standard of Bikang."

The female journalist asked in surprise, "Then how long do you think the surgery should take?"

"Three hours," Li Hongyu laughed. "Of course, that's if I do it. I don't rule out someone more capable who might be able to do it in about two hours, but anyone who can complete this surgery in an hour must not have been born yet."

Hearing this, Wu Guoxi got angry and stood up, "The one who is narrow-minded is you! Don't assume that if you can't do it, others can't either."

Li Hongyu mocked coldly, "You old fool, uneducated. I don't know how you've managed to get by all your life. If at the Provincial People's Hospital, someone like you wouldn't even qualify to be a janitor, let alone dream about being a deputy director."

Seeing Wu Guoxi tremble with anger, Li Hongyu continued to sneer, "I tell you, duodenal surgery is the pinnacle of difficulty in general surgery. Across the nation, no expert dares to guarantee they could complete such a surgery within two hours!"

"What are you? It took you a lifetime to barely become a deputy director. Apart from you, this garbage doctor, who else would dare to nonsensically claim that a duodenal surgery can be done in an hour?"

"I dare!" Just as Li Hongyu was righteously mocking Wu Guoxi, Shen Qiang became furious.

In an instant, every eye in the conference room focused on Shen Qiang.

"What did you say?" the female journalist asked, looking somewhat puzzled.

Seated in his own spot, Shen Qiang laughed, "I say, I dare to guarantee with a pat on my chest, one hour is enough for a duodenal surgery."

The female reporter's eyes immediately lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Are you really sure?"

"Nonsense!" Li Hongyu barked angrily, "Professor Zhang is also here, let him tell you, is it possible to complete a duodenal surgery within an hour!"

The female reporter turned her head, and the senior doctor sitting next to Li Hongyu stated seriously, "It's impossible, the current national record for the quickest duodenal surgery is two hours and thirteen minutes."

"With ongoing medical advancements, if it's said that the surgery time can be reduced to within two hours, there might be hope, but more than doubling that time, there's no chance."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, proclaiming loudly, "Frogs at the bottom of a well!"

Li Hongyu's expression turned icy, "Young man, don't be too arrogant!"

Shen Qiang's expression cooled, and he said chillingly, "Just now, you called all the surgeons at Bikang Hospital trash; I couldn't be bothered with you; I can tolerate it, but the things you just directed at Director Wu, I will make you take them all back."

"You're dreaming," Li Hongyu's gaze was icy.

Shen Qiang smiled coldly, saying indifferently, "Li, I know why you're targeting Director Wu that way, the whole reason is just because he recommended me to perform this surgery."

"That way, you wouldn't earn the surgical fee of 200,000."

Li Hongyu's gaze chilled, "A joke, a mere 200,000 isn't even worth my consideration."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Stop pretending, we're all adults, your little schemes are clear to everyone. If you really didn't care, would you call the TV station, would you target Director Wu?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Experts will be experts, even playing the saint after acting like a whore."

"Exactly, who can't see through that?"

In the roaring laughter of everyone, Li Hongyu's face turned icy, and he slammed the table, "Don't change the subject! What are your qualifications? What degree do you have? What makes you qualified to be arrogant in front of me?"

"Qualifications? How about being able to complete a duodenal surgery within an hour, is that enough?" Shen Qiang arched an eyebrow coldly.

Li Hongyu shouted angrily, "Fine, if you complete it within an hour, I'll take your surname!"

Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, "I'm not lacking sons, and you don't qualify either."

In an instant, the people present burst into uproarious laughter.

Even the female reporter couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Desperate and infuriated, Li Hongyu said, "Fine, fine, fine, you're capable, then go do it, and when the patient dies, I'd like to see what you have to say!"

Hearing this, the many doctors present immediately tensed up.

After all, this surgery was not only about duodenal resection but also involved lung surgery and esophageal cancer surgery; any problem in any part could be fatal for the patient.

At that moment, Shen Qiang laughed, stood up, and said, "Director Su, on top of the 200,000 fee for duodenal surgery, if you offer an extra 100,000, I, Shen Qiang guarantee that the patient will not die, and the surgery will definitely be successful."

Suddenly, everyone's gaze focused on Director Su's face.

"No problem!" Director Su agreed immediately.
