In an instant, the four people sitting across the table from Shen Qiang were all stunned. The fair-skinned man had a look of shock and disbelief, while the chubby man, who was pouring tea at the moment, failed to notice that not only had his cup overflowed, but the tea was already spilling out from the cup.

It wasn't until the spilling tea trickled down the table onto his pants that he suddenly came to his senses, frantically wiping his pants while looking at Shen Qiang in disbelief.

"Two hours for treating the wounds of 43 patients, averaging three minutes per patient? How is that possible? Could he really be a 'Medical God'?"

The chubby man's eyes were full of disbelief, while the dark and thin female doctor stood up abruptly and questioned, "That's impossible. Unless he was merely applying iodine to the patients, even an immortal couldn't do it that fast!"

The somewhat slow-witted man immediately nodded and said, "Only such an explanation would make sense."

The relieved fair-skinned man scoffed coldly, "If wiping iodine on patients counts as surgery, then that's utterly ridiculous. Two hours, 43 wound treatments—there's no way someone could do that."

He had just finished speaking.

The burly and imposing man in his mid-thirties who walked in behind Director Liu laughed, "Don't think that just because you can't do it, others can't either. With the same Rubik's Cube, you might play with it until it breaks without being able to solve it, but in the hands of an expert, it only takes a few seconds to restore."

"Likewise, with the same motorcycle, you might only dare to go seventy or eighty kilometers per hour, feeling that it's already too fast to control, but in the hands of an expert, the speed can exceed 200 kilometers per hour. People are different, and each person possesses their own unique talent."

The words of the burly man made the four look at each other in bewilderment.

At this time, Director Liu had already unapologetically taken a seat at Shen Qiang's table, his eyes shining as he looked at Shen Qiang, completely ignoring the other four, and said in amazement, "Although I've seen the news reports about you before, to be honest, I didn't quite believe them."

"But your performance is truly astonishing. Now everyone calls you 'Magician'!"

With a slight smile to Director Liu, Shen Qiang said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Seeing the burly man also taking a seat, Shen Qiang turned his head to signal the waiter, asking them to add two sets of cutlery.

Seeing this, the chubby man's eyes lit up, and he immediately invited, "Director Liu, come to our table. I've already ordered all the dishes."

Director Liu looked back at him and said, "No need."

Then, smiling at Shen Qiang, he said, "So now I'm very sure that your emergency response to trauma is unmatched. If you could stay in emergency trauma care, it would truly be a blessing for the public."

At these words, Shen Qiang chuckled and leaned back in his chair naturally, saying with a smile, "The public would indeed be blessed, but who would bless me?"

The people in the restaurant were all taken aback.

"I'm not quite sure what you mean," Director Liu said, curious.

Shen Qiang chuckled and replied, "My meaning is simple. If I stay in emergency trauma care, I'd have to endlessly treat those patients' injuries every day. Here a suture is needed, there a correction, over here sterilization."

"Is this kind of busyness ultimately meaningful?" Shen Qiang frowned and said, "It means nothing to me, can't improve my Medical Skill, nor can it make me achieve fame and success. In the most successful scenario, it just means patients will say, 'Oh, you're much faster than other doctors.'

"So don't even think about it, I'm not going to stay in trauma emergency."

Hearing Shen Qiang's words, Director Liu said earnestly, "Shen Qiang, since you chose to study medicine, you should have a selfless and devoted heart."

Shen Qiang snorted with laughter, looked around at everyone in the restaurant, and said lightly with a smile, "Oh, then I might be a bit different from you all. When I decided to study medicine, I wasn't thinking about how to be selflessly devoted. I was thinking about having a stable and respectable job, with a stable income, nothing more."

Hearing this, everyone in the restaurant laughed, and a passerby diner laughed and said, "That's right, isn't everyone busy just for money?"

Director Liu seemed a bit embarrassed and helpless as he said, "Doctors, should be compassionate and benevolent."

Shen Qiang frowned, "Director Liu, are you sure you've worked in the hospital all your life not for the money, but simply for dedication?"

After a moment of silence, Director Liu sighed and said, "All under heaven are involved in the pursuit of profit, it's not strange that you have such a thought."

Shen Qiang smiled as he looked at a rugged-looking man beside him and asked, "What about you, why did you become a doctor?"

The rugged-looking man smiled and said, "At first, I just wanted to be lazy. You know, soldier training is very tiring, but being a medic is much easier. Now, of course, looking for a job is naturally just for the money."

Upon hearing this, the chubby man sitting at the opposite table got excited and said proudly, "There are many ways to make money. For me, relieving suffering and dedicating my Medical Skill to the patients is the highest pursuit in life."

The fair-skinned young man clapped his hands in agreement, "Exactly, as a doctor, how can you only have eyes for money?"

Director Liu seemed to agree with their statements.

But just then, Shen Qiang, who had been enduring them for a long time, casually raised an eyebrow and said, "Stop pretending. There are no saints in this world; everyone does everything for a reason."

Turning back to look at Director Liu, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I was planning to say this tomorrow, but since we've met here, it's better to be straightforward. Director Liu, I am not interested in the Medical University Affiliated anymore, so I'm planning to resign."

"Anyway, it's just the probationary period. There shouldn't be any problem with resigning now, should there?"

Director Liu was startled and asked in astonishment, "Why? Are you unsatisfied with the salary? Or the working environment? You should know that Medical University Affiliated is one of the top three hospitals in Provincial City."

Shen Qiang replied with a nonchalant smile, "It's a very good hospital, a very nice environment, but it just doesn't give me what I want. In your view, staying at the Medical University Affiliated might already be the peak of life, but for me, it doesn't even count as a starting point."

Director Liu frowned, after a moment of silence, he said, "Alright, everyone has their own aspirations. If you really want to resign, I won't stop you. But I would like to know, what do you plan to do after resigning?"

After a moment of silence, Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "I plan to do some small business at leisure, and if there's a chance, I might consider going for postgraduate studies. Well, that's about it."

Hearing this, Director Liu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he said, "Shen Qiang, if you're thinking about postgraduate studies, I suggest you best stay here, because the Medical University Affiliated has slots for guaranteed advancement to further study, which saves much more effort than taking the examination yourself."
