"Just a bit of basic programming knowledge on data collection and processing."

Zhao Heng said.

It's true, the basic programming knowledge that could be gleaned from a medical device maintenance engineer is quite limited, and it's sandwiched between vast amounts of medical device repair and maintenance knowledge.

"To be able to find time to study programming amidst his busy work schedule, Dr. Zhao is already quite impressive."

Wang Yaoqing spoke sincerely. During the time he stayed with his elderly mother in the hospital, nearly every doctor and nurse he encountered knew Zhao Heng.

Although the rumors varied, some said he climbed up by relying on women, some said he endured hardship and accumulated experience, but overall, through these rumors, Wang Yaoqing knew Zhao Heng was undoubtedly a genius.

"Dr. Zhao, I work in software outsourcing, if you have a project, you can consider it."

After pausing, Wang Yaoqing handed over his business card solemnly and said formally.

He knew Zhao Heng couldn't decide on project approval directly; his thinking was that if he proposed it, he might be the one executing it.

This meal was definitely got the right person!

Wang Yaoqing couldn't help but think.

"Oh, Uncle, why are you always thinking about business?"

Shu Xin grumbled with dissatisfaction seeing her uncle bring the topic back to business again after a few sentences.

"It's okay, we are looking for software outsourcing companies even after project approval."

Zhao Heng smiled and said.

He only knew basic programming, at most he could create a simple draft for a proposal.

But to create software ready for deployment, you definitely need specialized software outsourcing companies.

Eastern Hospital couldn't possibly hire a bunch of programmers just for software.

No matter how wealthy, this kind of consumption is unsustainable.

This is the same logic as with medical device companies.

A hospital can't set up its own medical device company exclusively for its equipment.

The same goes for software.

After a while, the dishes were served, Zhao Heng noticed that in addition to the wagyu beef and lobster Wang Yaoqing ordered earlier, there were also some dishes that looked quite expensive.

It seemed Wang Yaoqing was in a very good mood.

However, no matter how expensive the order was, for someone like Wang Yaoqing who had assets, it was not a big deal.

His regular business meals often cost much more than this.

Seeing Zhao Heng and her uncle chatting happily, Shu Xin was pouty; she wanted to have a good chat with her senior but didn't expect her uncle to steal the show.

While Wang Yaoqing and Zhao Heng were talking and eating, Wang Yaoqing's phone suddenly rang. He stood up, walked aside to answer it, and returned to apologize to Zhao Heng: "Dr. Zhao, there's an urgent matter at the office; I need to head there immediately."

"No worries, go quickly if there's something urgent."

Zhao Heng nodded and said.

"Okay, Dr. Zhao, if you need anything else, just order, it's already on my membership card."

Wang Yaoqing said considerately.

"Alright, Uncle, you go ahead, I will entertain my senior well."

Seeing her uncle about to leave, junior Shu Xin seemed quite happy.

Noticing his niece's joyful expression, Wang Yaoqing gave her a glare, exchanged greetings with Zhao Heng, and hurriedly left.

As soon as Wang Yaoqing left, Shu Xin immediately got up and sat next to Zhao Heng.

"Senior, I'm telling you, this Australian lobster is so delicious. Normally, when Uncle and I have dinner, he doesn't order this."

Shu Xin smiled sweetly at Zhao Heng and served him a piece of shrimp.

"You usually eat well from your uncle, don't you?"

Zhao Heng smiled and said.

Shu Xin and her uncle Wang Yaoqing were truly amusing.

"I'm also earning my keep."

Shu Xin said.

Her Bilibili account, Shu Xiaomeng, had over three million followers. The income generated from this account every month was enough to cover her expenses.

But among all her relatives, apart from her parents, her uncle was actually the closest to her, so if not from her uncle, then who from?

"Yes, indeed."

Zhao Heng nodded, Shu Xin was doing well in the media, her income was quite good.

"Senior, why haven't you updated your videos the past two weeks? When just starting out as an UP host, you should post more. You now have over 200,000 followers, which is strong for newcomers."

Shu Xin said again.

Although she was helping Zhao Heng run the account, making videos was something she couldn't handle alone.

Her own videos mainly focused on dancing and lifestyle, completely different from Zhao Heng's science videos.

"I've been a bit busy lately; I'll find time to make a video."

With Shu Xin reminding him, Zhao Heng remembered he also had a video account, and its follower count was already high.

Zhao Heng hadn't bought any followers, so these 200,000 were active followers, having 200,000 active followers meant he could start taking advertisements to earn money, plus video incentives and the like, the income was quite considerable.

"Hmm, Senior, you mentioned before you want to apply for grad school, how's that going?"

Shu Xin asked with concern.

"I was planning to apply for a combined master's-PhD with Professor Huang, but he hasn't returned to the country yet, so I'll wait."

Zhao Heng replied.

"Senior is so impressive; Professor Huang hasn't taken on any master's or PhD students in years."

Shu Xin looked at Zhao Heng with admiration, she couldn't get enough of his handsome face.

"It's just alright."

Zhao Heng remarked nonchalantly.

When you have the ability, many things don't have to be forced, they come naturally.

If you're not capable, then everything is a struggle.

Of course, reaching Zhao Heng's level at his age is mostly impossible without some amount of luck.

"Senior, I'm about to graduate with my master's; do you think I should continue studying?"

Shu Xin suddenly asked.

She also considered herself a prodigy, starting school early and skipping grades, so she was two years younger than Zhao Heng yet nearly finished with her master's.

"You have such remarkable talent, it would be a pity not to pursue research."

Zhao Heng replied truthfully.

Shu Xin is extremely smart, evident from her creation of a video account with three million followers.

As for Shu Xin's hesitations, Zhao Heng could somewhat understand.

Doing well in social media makes earning money extremely easy, whereas research requires years of dedication before possibly yielding results.

Skill and intelligence are just stepping stones; true achievements, becoming a scientist like Professor Huang, also require a bit of fortune.

This fortune is something no one knows they have; it's almost entirely metaphysical.

Scientific discoveries are never guaranteed just from effort.

"I'll think about it."

Shu Xin said.

Though she said this, she already had made up her mind.

The fact that she created an account with three million followers shows she has greater talent in this field.

Moreover, the path in media is clearly laid out, unlike research, where you might dive in and not make any impact for decades.
