Wu Guoxi's words made everyone present nod involuntarily.
After all, the stability of Shen Qiang's surgical techniques was so astonishing that he was considered to be at the peak in their eyes. To become even stronger would be nothing short of a myth.
"Director Wu is right, Shen Qiang's current surgical level is already very impressive. If he could do even better, wouldn't that make him more skilled than those surgical experts?"
"You're correct, young people should not aim too for beyond their grasp. You should continue to study diligently under Director Wu."
Seeing this situation, despite knowing that once he learned the precision from "Mixed Arts," his surgery would inevitably be stronger, Shen Qiang could only smile it off, because to continue the topic would risk appearing too arrogant.
Just then, Director Wang's voice suddenly echoed in the hallway: "Wow, quite the big talk. Our Bikang Hospital can't support a big fish like you; pack your things and leave. Don't come back tomorrow."
The people in the hallway fell silent instantly.
Shen Qiang turned his head and saw Director Wang walking over with a cold smile, followed by Doctor Liu with a chilly gaze.
"Why?" Shen Qiang took a step forward, unflinchingly looking at Director Wang.
Director Wang laughed, "The reason is simple. A gastrectomy for tumor removal is a third-level surgery that requires an attending physician to lead with guidance from a senior physician. And you, you're just an intern."
"Bikang Hospital has zero tolerance for those who act recklessly without considering the safety of the patients! So, Shen Qiang, your internship is terminated. If the patient suffers from postoperative infection and complications, we will take legal action and support the patient in asserting their rights through law."
Upon hearing this, Director Wu stepped forward and said coldly, "I am an associate chief physician. There is no problem with me supervising an intern to perform such surgery."
Director Wang sneered, "Technically, what you say is correct. However, you entrusted the entire operation to Shen Qiang, the intern. For your irresponsibility, I will suggest that the hospital management deal with you separately."
Hearing Director Wang's words, Xin Xiaoting, who had just come out of the operating room, got anxious. She said, "Director Wang, isn't this pure sophistry and blatant bullying by using your position?"
These words made several other doctors present nod inwardly.
However, they did not have the courage to back up Shen Qiang and Wu Guoxi in front of Director Wang.
After all, no matter how good Shen Qiang's surgery was, he was ultimately just an intern, and whether he could stay at Bikang was uncertain. And Wu Guoxi would be retiring in just over three months.
To annoy the vigorous and powerful Director Wang for their sake would undoubtedly lead to endless trouble in the future.
Seeing that none of the doctors present dared to speak out, Director Wang glanced at Xin Xiaoting with satisfaction, then turned to Shen Qiang and said, "Indeed, I'm using sophistry, I am bullying by using my position, but what can you, Shen Qiang, do about it?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "I knew long ago that you, a person who would beg on your knees and are even willing to sell out your own daughter, would seize any opportunity to cause trouble for me."
Director Wang replied with a smile, "You can pack your things and get lost now."
Shen Qiang laughed and calmly blocked the infuriated Wu Guoxi, saying, "I told you, I will take away everything you cherish. You, Wang Bofu, don't care about your wife and daughter, only your little bit of prestige and power at Bikang Hospital."
"But in my eyes, what you care about is worth nothing. Although I, Shen Qiang, am just an intern, be it in theory or operational ability, I am second to none."
"So leaving a private hospital that lets scumbags like you take charge is not a disaster for me, but actually a good thing, and I believe that any truly capable doctor would feel the same way."
Director Wang said with a very cold expression, "What's the use of bragging to me? In the end, if I tell you to get out, you have to get out. In the oncology department, my word is law!"
Shen Qiang laughed, "You think I'm easy to bully?"
Director Wang said harshly, "So what if I bully you? If I tell you to leave, you leave. Do you believe that if you keep talking, I'll call security to throw you out?"
The people around immediately looked worried. A doctor who was not privy to the situation quickly tried to mediate, "Shen Qiang, why are you so stubborn, kid? Apologize to Director Wang quickly."
Another doctor also said, "Director Wang, Shen Qiang is still young and doesn't understand things. Please cool down, Director. We will discipline him for you. Terminating his internship would have too big of an impact on him. Let's find another way to handle this."
Seeing that people were trying to intervene, Director Wang instantly felt emboldened and laughed coldly, "It's useless for any of you to try to persuade me. If I can't even handle an intern, what good is being a director? Besides, isn't Shen Qiang acting all high and mighty? Now, even if he kneels down and begs me, it's no use."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang laughed, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "Kneel down and beg you? Who the hell do you think you are! You really think I don't know that it's the HR department that manages the interns and staff comings and goings?"
Suddenly, the corridor fell silent.
Caught off guard, Director Wang snapped, "I have the right to stop your internship."
"Then give me a written notice. After you clearly state the reasons, go ahead and stamp it with the hospital's official seal," Shen Qiang scoffed. "You don't even know the basic procedures. How do you manage the oncology department and have a say in HR matters?"
Instantly, Director Wang's face turned deathly pale.
The other doctors present could not help but snicker.
After all, it's the same in any organization, the last thing leaders want is for someone to overstep their boundaries and meddle in another department's affairs. In the oncology department, Director Wang could indeed decide many things.
But if he meddled in HR affairs, whether or not the HR manager would give face to him, was truly a matter known only to the heavens.
Seeing that Director Wang remained silent, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Isn't what you value most your little bit of power and prestige in the oncology department? If you can't drive me away today, then I'm taking that prestige from you."
Director Wang, his face still pale, angrily retorted, "Shen Qiang, don't be smug. You want the procedures? Fine, don't rush, I'll give you the procedures soon. An intern dares to perform surgery reserved for attending doctors; if I can't get you fired, I won't use the name Wang!"
"Then go on," Shen Qiang laughed. "Don't make me wait too long."
"Just you wait," said Director Wang, face red with anger, as he turned to leave.
But just then, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "Wait a second, Director Wang, I have one more question for you. According to the hospital's regulations, level-three surgeries require the department director's approval. Who was so reckless as to permit an intern to take part in such a surgery?"
At these words, Wu Guoxi and the other doctors present couldn't help but laugh.
The pretty instrument nurse, Lv Shuyao, immediately said with a giggly smile, "It's written right here on the surgery notification. It was approved by Director Wang, with Deputy Chief Physician Wu Guoxi as the lead doctor, and interns Shen Qiang, Xin Xiaoting, Zhao Hui, and Zhang Liwei assisting."
