Hearing the little girl's words, the three people held her and continued asking questions as they walked in the direction of the orthopedic department.

Shen Qiang, who had breathed a sigh of relief, felt his heart pounding intensely.

At that moment, the beautiful and sexy assistant Su Xiaonuan walked over with a smile and said, "Shen Qiang, I need a few minutes of your time to talk about your new contract."

Shen Qiang looked surprised and frowned, "A new contract? Isn't this sort of thing usually handled by HR? Why are you bringing this to me, is this the dean's idea?"

Su Xiaonuan sighed helplessly, "Alright, since you've already guessed it, I won't hide it from you. Actually, Bikang wants to renew your contract and sign an official work agreement with you."

"By signing this new contract, it would be easier for you to register as a practicing physician and practice medicine more conveniently."

Shen Qiang furrowed his brows and asked, "Is it appropriate for you to be discussing this with me?"

Su Xiaonuan smiled and said, "Your new contract would be a twenty-year deal, with initial treatment as an attending physician, a basic monthly salary of eighteen hundred, plus a bonus of about four thousand each month, and then..."

Taking a deep breath, Shen Qiang laughed, turned around, and walked away, "I've just remembered I have something to do. Let's talk about this some other time."

"Hey, you..." Watching Shen Qiang leave without looking back, Su Xiaonuan let out a breath and sighed helplessly, "Sure enough, Shen Qiang would never sign such a contract."

Arriving at Tumor Surgery.

Wu Guoxi was admonishing the attending physicians with his proud gaze.

"You need to put more effort into your work. You've been here for more than ten years with no improvement in skills, not even comparable to an intern."

A group of attending physicians were helpless.

Seeing Shen Qiang arrive, Wu Guoxi said cheerfully, "No surgeries this morning, just look around as you wish. If there's anything, I'll call you."

Shen Qiang smiled upon hearing this and left Tumor Surgery directly to go to Neurosurgery.

Arriving at the critical care room for the flower-selling girl.

Shen Qiang immediately saw the chief of orthopedics and the chief of neurosurgery discussing softly beside the bed.

Upon seeing Shen Qiang, their eyes immediately lit up.

"Shen Qiang, you've come at the perfect time, we were just looking for you," they said.

Shen Qiang asked with slight surprise, "What's the matter?"

Handing over the CT scans to Shen Qiang, the chief of orthopedic surgery said, "This patient's limb bones have been connected perfectly, but unfortunately, it's likely because her injuries were so severe that her bones are showing signs of non-healing."

"Look here," the chief pointed at the fracture that had been set in the girl's leg, "Twenty-four hours have passed and there's no sign of healing, a typical case of ischemic nonunion."

"If the situation remains the same in the next forty-eight hours, we would have no choice but to perform another surgery to affix a steel plate and remove the shattered bones, but she's still not out of the critical phase, and surgery is simply out of the question right now."

"If we delay too long, I'm afraid she'll be stuck like this for life."

Looking at the scan showing no signs of healing, Shen Qiang turned to the chief of neurosurgery, "Can't we think of some other way?"

The chief of neurosurgery shook his head, "In this case, I personally believe that bone grafting is the only option, but obviously, that's even more impractical."

The chief of orthopedic surgery said, "Yes, for bone grafting, the graft must have sufficient blood supply. Her situation is such that all of her limbs are broken, unless we amputate one of her legs and use it for the graft on the other parts."

"But that's also very unrealistic, she's as weak as a baby right now, with no energy to undergo any more surgeries."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang took a deep breath and said, "First, keep an eye on things, I'll figure out what to do about her bones not healing."

And that was that.

In the astonished gazes of the neurosurgery director and the orthopedic director, Shen Qiang promptly left the little girl's intensive care unit.

"In this kind of situation, do you think there's any other way?" asked the neurosurgery director, puzzled, as Shen Qiang walked away.

The orthopedic director shook his head gravely, "Nonunion of bones is a common condition, generally caused by systemic factors like the patient's metabolism, nutrition, health status, and physical activity."

"As for local factors, there are quite a few, including the blood supply of the fracture site, the impact of infection, the extent of soft tissue injury, entrapment of soft tissue at the fracture ends, and the method of treatment."

"I personally feel that the patient's condition could be related to her chronic malnutrition and the impact of the surgeries following her severe injuries."

"In this case, the likelihood of curing her is slim. That is to say, even if she survives, she will ultimately lose her mobility."

The neurosurgery director frowned, "Perhaps Shen Qiang has the ability to cure her."

The orthopedic director laughed, shaking his head as he did, "I admit Shen Qiang is an orthopedic genius, but in such a case, no one can do anything. Her only hope is to survive and then have one leg amputated for bone grafting to the other parts."

Outside the ward at that time.

Shen Qiang, in hurried steps, was on the phone with Boss Ma.

"I need a Thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma, do you have a way?"

Boss Ma chuckled, "Brother, why are you always interested in such odd things? I have Jade Ganoderma, you can just carve one, but for Thousand-year-old Blood Ganoderma, you won't find it on Antique Street."

Shen Qiang was silent for a moment, then said, "Ganoderma is easy to preserve. It's even more famous than Thousand-year-old Ginseng; it's impossible that no one has collected it."

Boss Ma chuckled again, "Alright then, since you've asked, I'll inquire for you to see if there are any collectors interested in medicinal herbs. Wait for my call."

And that was that.

Boss Ma hung up the phone.

Frowning, Shen Qiang went downstairs, and as the elevator arrived at the orthopedics ward, the doors opened.

Immediately after, Shen Qiang was surprised to see the petite young girl who had been holding the little girl entering the elevator, she glanced coldly at Shen Qiang.

Just for a moment.

A strange fluctuation enveloped him instantly, and Shen Qiang felt as though he was laid bare in front of this young girl.

Not only that.

What shocked Shen Qiang even more was that the True Qi within his body was almost uncontrollably surging.

"A Cultivator!"

Realizing this at once, Shen Qiang immediately held his breath and focused his mind, adjusting himself according to the Concealing Breath Technique from the Medical Saint Inheritance.

The True Qi flowing through his meridians immediately dispersed into his body and ceased circulating.

"Just an ordinary person, huh?" said the petite woman as she pressed the button for the first floor, then ignored Shen Qiang.

After reaching the ground floor.

The petite woman lightly walked to the convenience store inside the hospital.

Shen Qiang hesitated for a moment, then walked outside the hospital and, after getting into a taxi, said, "Take me to the Traditional Chinese Medicine wholesale market."
