Upon hearing Director Liu's words, Shen Qiang's eyes lit up.

Almost at the same time, the chubby man at the next table laughed, "Yo, if he hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Among the seven of us in this group, probably only Shen Qiang has the lowest academic credentials. He doesn't even have a Master's degree in medicine, yet he has the nerve to boast in front of us."

The fair-skinned man heard this and laughed, "You're right. While education doesn't represent everything, it is one facet of a doctor's fundamental capabilities. In this respect, you're far behind us."

At these words, the three people sharing the table with him nodded in agreement, their gazes shifting uneasily to Director Liu.

After all, the implication of their words was to suggest to Director Liu that they were more capable than Shen Qiang. If Director Liu didn't hear this, then wouldn't their words have been in vain?

However, contrary to their expectations, Director Liu seemed not to have heard them at all, his eyes sharply focused on Shen Qiang as he stated, "Should you be recommended for further study, it is usually because the second or third hospital recognized an outstanding doctor. After the completion of the study, they will start working anew."

"Generally speaking, there are two modes of such further study: one is full-time, you don't need to work, just attend school regularly, complete the courses, and that's it."

"The other is a part-time graduate student, with fewer courses, continuing to work normally."

"If you stay at the Medical University Affiliated hospital, once approved, you can choose either method. Moreover, since you are already a doctor from the Medical University Affiliated hospital with certain work experience, if you're willing, you can also do some simple teaching during your studies, like being a teaching assistant."

Gazing at Shen Qiang, Director Liu's eyes gleamed with seduction as he enticed, "Think about it, returning to school to teach your former classmates. Isn't that a wonderful feeling? Perhaps a female instructor you once had a crush on but was out of your league is now your colleague. You might be able to ask her out for dinner, to watch a movie..."

Shen Qiang was taken aback, pondering in astonishment and slight confusion, "Is that really possible?"

Director Liu continued excitedly, "Of course it's possible. I remember when you signed the probationary period contract, there was a note that if you successfully defeat your competitors, you would be granted the opportunity for further studies."

"And most importantly, I can now tell you explicitly that although your probationary period contract specifies three months, in actuality, to determine the final candidate for the position, it will only take one month."

"The additional two months serve merely as a buffer for any unexpected events."

One month's time, eh?

Shen Qiang exhaled deeply.

He quietly calculated in his mind.

In the short term, there wouldn't be any missions assigned to Shen Qiang from the Dragon Group due to their protection plan for new recruits.

At the antique store, they were undergoing renovations and searching for a new manager. Whether it would reopen within a month was still uncertain.

The only thing left to deal with was the Qi Gathering Powder and the Foundation Establishment Powder he had promised to Wan Xin Hesheng and Cheng Xinyi.

Wan Xin Hesheng's delivery date was every Wednesday, and Cheng Xinyi's was every Thursday.

Beyond that, the only tasks Shen Qiang needed to focus on were Foundation Establishment and cultivation. If he kept working, the impact on these aspects wouldn't be too significant since it was only for one month. If everything went well.

Then in one month's time, if Shen Qiang's cultivation had successfully completed Foundation Establishment, his debts all cleared, the antique store reopened, and his bank account held several hundred million—returning to school at that point would surely mean he'd become wealthy and handsome.

And with only one month's time, a mere four weeks, the impact on all aspects would be minimal.

Once successful, Shen Qiang's academic and employment record would look much more impressive.

No matter whether he decided to open his own hospital, practice medicine, or get into pharmaceuticals, it would be much more convenient.

Because this was the inevitable path for Shen Qiang's future.

Staying in a small operating room, Shen Qiang's influence was limited and could not change the medical landscape, let alone talk about healing the world, because not many people could receive Shen Qiang's help.

But if Shen Qiang opened hospitals, manufactured medicine, and researched more powerful and easily disseminated medical skills in the future, then countless people would benefit, and Shen Qiang would become renowned and make a lot, a lot of money.

However, for someone with only an undergraduate degree to command influence in the medical community was undoubtedly ridiculous.

This alone would be met with much skepticism.

The simplest solution was definitely not to argue with them about the difference between ability and education.

But to acquire a degree that they simply couldn't question.

Thinking of this, Shen Qiang immediately became somewhat tempted.

Almost at the same time, a rugged-looking man who seemed to read something in Shen Qiang's expression frowned and said, "Hey, if you really plan to stay at the Medical University Affiliated and obtain a recommendation for further study, then I'm sorry, but you'll become my competitor."

These words made Shen Qiang slightly surprised, "You?"

The man with a rugged temperament smiled and said, "Yes, because my education is also only undergraduate."

Upon hearing this, a sneering smile appeared on the lips of the four people at the neighboring table.

But at this time, Director Liu, whose eyes were sharp, said, "Shen Qiang, emergency trauma care is indeed exhausting, but if you don't want to stay there, hospital work is actually not tiring. The usual working hours are from eight in the morning to eleven-thirty at noon, and from two-thirty to five-thirty in the afternoon."

"There are three hours of rest at noon, and it won't affect your life too much, so I personally suggest that you stick it out for a month. By then, unless you lose to them, you'll be able to choose whether to study full-time or part-time while working."

Shen Qiang smiled, just about to speak, when at that moment, the fair-skinned man said coldly, "Being a doctor is about prescribing the right remedy, not a long-distance race to see who's faster. So, Shen Qiang, I advise you to resign obediently. Go home and study well; maybe you'll be able to get admitted."

"If you waste your time working, you might end up with neither a job nor a chance for further study, and if you can't even pass the exam, you'll really become a joke."

Hearing the fair-skinned young man's words, the chubby man also chuckled and said, "If he really had the ability, he would have already made it on his own; why need such a fuss?"

The reticent man nodded, "A loser who can't even pass the entrance exam for postgraduate studies can never be better than us in medical skills."

The thin, dark-skinned woman snickered coldly, "The entrance exam for postgraduate studies is so easy, you could pass it with your eyes closed."

Hearing this, Director Liu, frowning, turned back and looked at them, "If you're so great, why are you competing with undergraduates for a position?"

Instantly, the four of them fell silent.

Turning back, Director Liu looked hopefully at Shen Qiang and said, "What do you say? Have you decided? Do you want to stay and try?"

Looking at the other table where the four people were left dispirited by Director Liu's mockery, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Good, I've changed my mind, I've decided to stay."

As his tone turned cold, Shen Qiang looked proudly at the fair-skinned youth and the chubby man and said firmly, "And I have never been one to submit to others. So, these people who keep provoking me, I will find an opportunity to satisfy their masochistic tendencies and show them who the real King is."
