"Do I look good?"

Seeing Shen Qiang stare at her in amazement, Su Xiaonuan couldn't help but flash a smug look in her eyes.

Looking at her confident smile, Shen Qiang nodded and said, "It's great."

Proudly getting into the car, Su Xiaonuan said, "Let's go, drive slowly, I still need to do my makeup."

The car left the neighborhood.

Watching Su Xiaonuan in the passenger seat darken her eyebrows, apply bright lipstick, and put on black-framed glasses, Shen Qiang frowned slightly and said, "Actually, you'd look better without this makeup—it makes you look too mature."

Su Xiaonuan laughed, "For work, it's good to appear a bit more mature; otherwise, who would take my words seriously?"

Shen Qiang, feeling helpless, pondered and seemed to agree with her logic; too youthful an appearance definitely makes it hard to command respect in the workplace.

The car arrived at the hospital.

The two had just come out of the underground parking.

They saw Director Su at a glance.

Director Su gave Su Xiaonuan a somewhat strange look before flashing a sly smile and saying, "Shen Qiang, go immediately to neurosurgery, there's a critically ill patient there."

Shen Qiang nodded, said okay, and headed toward the inpatient department, then heard Director Su say, "Su Xiaonuan, you stay."

Shen Qiang frowned slightly.

But, after all, Su Xiaonuan was Director Su's female assistant, so Shen Qiang couldn't really say anything.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang hurriedly went to the inpatient department.

Seeing that no one was around, Director Su smiled and said, "Nice, your outfit looks beautiful."

With a somewhat helpless expression, Su Xiaonuan said, "Dad, what are you up to now?"

Director Su said, "This morning, the health bureau transferred Shen Qiang's internship report; I asked, and it turns out Medical University Affiliated has already filed Shen Qiang's medical practice registration."

Su Xiaonuan was startled, "That fast?"

Director Su frowned and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Shen Qiang's medical practice registration will be completed before noon today, and in a few days, he will start working at Medical University Affiliated."

Su Xiaonuan sighed, "There's nothing we can do, we can't offer what he wants."

Director Su laughed, "Not necessarily, I saw how happy he was when he came up with you just now."

"Dad! Are you really my father?" Su Xiaonuan frowned and scolded playfully.

Director Su frowned, "You girl, I'm only looking out for you; this Shen Qiang is a rare one you find agreeable. Tonight I'll come over to your place and give you some advice on how to win him over."

Hearing this, Su Xiaonuan's eyes widened and after being stunned for a good three seconds, she frowned urgently and said, "Dad, please don't mess this up for me, okay? Don't come over. You absolutely cannot come tonight; if you do, we're through."

Director Su frowned, "What's gotten into you? That house is still the dowry your mother and I prepared for you. Now, before you're even independent, you start giving me attitude?"

Su Xiaonuan, embarrassed, said, "Dad, it's not like that, don't be angry."

"If it's not that, then what is it?"

Seeing Director Su still fierce, a very helpless Su Xiaonuan stamped her foot and said, "I was hoping to invite Shen Qiang over to my place for tea tonight, how would it look if you showed up?"

Upon hearing this, President Su's eyes brightened.

"Well done! Truly my daughter, I was just about to help you come up with a plan, but you've already taken action. Alright, I get it now, good strategy—turn the raw rice into cooked rice; then he'll inevitably be trapped in your tender land."

Looking at the excited President Su.

Su Xiaonuan was dumbfounded, "What raw rice cooked rice? Dad! Are you sure you're really my father?"

...

Neurosurgery, the doctor's duty room.

No sooner had Shen Qiang arrived than the grave-faced head of neurosurgery immediately beckoned him over, saying, "Doctor Shen—come here quickly."

It was only when Shen Qiang entered the duty room that he was astonished to find many doctors there, not only from neurology and neurosurgery, but also two gastroenterologists were present.

"What's the situation?" Seeing many doctors whispering to one another.

The head of neurosurgery handed Shen Qiang a CT scan, saying, "It's a parasite; take a look at the data yourself."

Shen Qiang took the scan in surprise.

At that moment, a neurology expert said, "The patient's condition clearly involves a parasite in the brain. Normally, the most effective treatment would be to perform surgery to remove the parasite."

"But the parasite in this patient's brain doesn't match any known parasite."

Pointing at a white spot on the scan, the expert said, "Look here, its location."

Then he added another scan, saying, "This was taken five minutes later; it has moved four centimeters within the patient's brain."

"This means that this strange worm in the patient's brain is constantly moving."

"Once we are ready and have opened the patient's skull, you will find it has disappeared. It might have gone to the left or the right. Unless we remove the patient's brain for slicing, it will be very difficult to catch this worm."

The head of neurosurgery coughed and said, "Shen Qiang is here; he's the best surgeon. Perhaps he can handle this operation within five minutes."

"There's no hope," said a gastroenterologist at that moment. "This parasite is actually very small. You see, it moved four centimeters in five minutes, but that's when it is being lazy."

"Once you operate on the patient and it senses danger, its speed could increase to at least double or triple its current speed. If its moving position is unlucky, the patient will die immediately."

Upon hearing this, the neurology expert said, "If we don't operate, allowing it to roam freely in the patient's brain, the patient is also doomed."

"Transfer the patient immediately, send him to the Parasitic Research Center," said the gastroenterologist. "We at Bikang don't have parasite experts; we can't handle this situation."

The neurology expert nodded, "That's the only way."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just then, as he set aside the scans he was holding, Shen Qiang said, "No need to transfer hospitals; I can treat this patient."

Upon hearing this, the head of neurosurgery was stunned and said, "Shen Qiang, we know you perform surgeries quickly, but this parasite is active now; you won't be able to catch it."

The head of neurology also nodded and said, "Shen Qiang, it's not that we doubt your surgical skills, but the situation is too strange; we can't take this risk, so sending him to the Parasitic Research Center is the safest approach."

"Exactly, only in this way can the patient have a chance of survival," agreed the gastroenterologists.

And just then, Shen Qiang said, "Don't worry, this thing is not a parasite."
