Chapter 451: Chapter 450: An Impertinent Request

Yan Feifan thought for a moment about swapping the surgeries for the deformed and disabled children from the welfare home. ’This might be acceptable,’ he mused.

Originally, Mr. Wang Chuan had arranged this charity project to give Yan Feifan a chance to practice, accumulate experience, and improve his plastic surgery skills.

By now, that goal had basically been achieved.

Mr. Wang himself admitted that he was no match for the level of skill Yan Feifan now demonstrated in facial plastic surgery.

Besides, even if this work was transferred, it wouldn’t stop Yan Feifan from selecting disabled or deformed children with interesting cases to continue practicing on...

Furthermore, the solution they proposed seemed both reasonable and considerate, and it was also subtly wrapped in the banner of national interest. If Yan Feifan refused too forcefully, he figured life would probably get difficult for him later on...

Yan Feifan readily agreed to the proposed swap.

After a round of back-and-forth negotiation, Yan Feifan agreed to perform a puncture injection surgery every Thursday on one brain or spinal canal tumor patient sent from the PLA General Hospital.

In exchange, the Marine Police General Hospital would have to complete reconstructive surgeries for two disabled or deformed children from the welfare home each week.

However, the Extraordinary Fund would need to cover fifty percent of the costs for these children’s reconstructive surgeries.

Yan Feifan also laid out his conditions upfront.

The quality of the completed reconstructive surgeries had to be guaranteed.

The Extraordinary Fund would monitor the Armed Police General Hospital’s pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative services throughout the process and evaluate the results of the surgeries.

To prevent them from cutting corners or making excuses, Yan Feifan directly set a rule for their cooperation.

He had the right to terminate the cooperation for any reason, or no reason at all.

Yan Feifan was very insistent on this rule.

Wen Ning, being in the weaker negotiating position, had no choice but to agree to this clause.

As for how Wen Ning would coordinate with the Armed Police General Hospital or how she would secure more surgery slots from Baining Hospital, Yan Feifan didn’t care.

That was her problem to worry about.

The lunch break was an hour long, but they spent over forty minutes discussing matters and arguing over the details of the cooperation.

Yan Feifan had, at most, ten minutes to fill his stomach.

It wasn’t until he left the private room and the small restaurant that Yan Feifan had a sudden realization.

’The food made by the cafeteria chef can actually be this delicious.’

This made Yan Feifan complain, "Mr. Liu, you should come eat with us in Cafeteria Number One sometime and see how the common folk live."

"Those chefs clearly have decent skills, yet the food they make for us is as disgusting as pig slop. It’s outrageous."

Liu Jin shot him a look and said, "It’s just as you said yourself. Can cooking in a giant wok and cooking on a small stove be the same? Can cooking carelessly and cooking with heart be the same?"

He then chuckled. "Feifan, don’t be ungrateful."

"The food in Cafeteria Number One is guaranteed to be hygienic and nutritious, and it’s cheaper than what you’d find outside."

"Besides, the taste isn’t nearly as bad as you make it out to be."

Liu Jin teased, "If you think it’s so bad, you can go eat at Luo’s Private Kitchen or Xinfeng Restaurant."

"With your current income, you can afford to eat there every day."

By this time, they had already walked out of the cafeteria.

Yan Feifan grunted twice and, together with Liu Jin, saw Wen Ning and Qin Feng off.

Regarding the outcome of their discussion, Wen Ning was only a director’s assistant and didn’t have the authority to make the final decision.

She still had to report to her superiors and wait for their approval.

Watching the two of them leave in a car, Liu Jin turned to Yan Feifan, sighed softly, and said, "Knowing how to read the situation and compromise, knowing how to fight for your own interests and power... it means you’ve matured."

"It also means you’ve become more worldly."

"I don’t know whether I should be happy or disappointed."

Yan Feifan resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said with a light smile, "Mr. Liu, no matter how I change, I’m still me."

Liu Jin smiled, then said with mixed feelings, "It’s good that you’ve matured a bit like this."

"That’s just how society is. Once you stand out, you inevitably attract a lot of attention. It becomes harder and harder to stay out of it all."

"Especially you, Feifan. You practically have the power to decide life and death, so the level of people paying attention to you is getting higher and higher."

"It’s also becoming more difficult for me to protect you."

"Only by relying on the great tree of the state for support can you develop in peace."

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Liu, from the way you put it, it sounds like I’m in a lion’s den, surrounded by danger!"

Liu Jin couldn’t help but laugh. "It’s not as dramatic as you say, but it’s not far off."

"Right now, who knows how many people have designs on you. You need to be extra careful..."

After parting with Mr. Liu, Yan Feifan rushed to the Little Red House to analyze Ms. Caroline’s latest test results with Dr. Vega.

Afterward, the two had a detailed discussion about the next day’s surgery.

「Around 4:00 PM」

Yan Feifan left the Little Red House and returned to the director’s office of the plastic surgery center, where he did a detailed analysis of the trainee’s examination data.

Running all over the place today was truly annoying for Yan Feifan; he could only console himself by thinking of it as exercise.

「Just after 5:00 PM」

As Yan Feifan was immersed in his world of consciousness, simulating and optimizing the next day’s surgical plan, he suddenly felt a tickle on his nose.

He snapped his focus back and saw a familiar face pull back abruptly.

It was Chan Weiwei from the Dawn Charity Fund.

Standing up straight with her hands behind her back, Chan Weiwei quickly crumpled a small piece of paper in her hand into a ball.

She said, looking embarrassed, "Um... I knocked just now, but no one answered, so I came in on my own."

"It looked like you were spacing out just now!"

"Dr. Yan, are you okay?"

Seeing her look of genuine concern, Yan Feifan had no choice but to pretend that nothing had just happened.

"I’m fine. I was just lost in thought about something."

Yan Feifan offered an explanation for himself, then asked, "Are you here to see me, or Mr. Wang?"

"I’m here to see you."

Chan Weiwei sat down on the sofa across from Yan Feifan, her legs together in an elegant posture. She chuckled lightly. "Dr. Yan, your prediction was spot on. Yuanyuan’s low-grade fever really did go down."

Yan Feifan said nonchalantly, "The inflamed wound was debrided, and we used the best anti-inflammatory medication. It’s normal for it to be effective."

Chan Weiwei said in a complimentary tone, "It may seem like a small thing to you, but the local hospital couldn’t get that inflammation under control."

Yan Feifan said flatly, "That’s because they were hesitant and didn’t dare to perform a thorough debridement."

"Ms. Chan, did you come looking for me just for this?"

The smile on Chan Weiwei’s face widened. "Of course not. I have some big news to share with you."

"Dr. Yan, Tuantuan’s parents have finally agreed to donate his organs!"

Yan Feifan was slightly taken aback and asked, "What conditions did you offer them?"

Chan Weiwei said with some difficulty, "As for the specific conditions, Dr. Yan, it’s not convenient for me to disclose that. I have a confidentiality agreement with them."

"However, I can guarantee two things: one, there was no coercion, and two, I didn’t violate any relevant national laws or regulations."

Yan Feifan let out a soft "Oh" and said, "In that case, I won’t ask any more questions."

He then added happily, "This way, we can save at least seven or eight lives."

Chan Weiwei also smiled. "A doctor told me the tissue matching results will be out tonight."

"We’re planning to do a live stream tonight and have a transplant expert talk about organ donation, tissue matching, and other medical knowledge."

"Dr. Yan, would you be able to participate in the live stream tonight?"

Yan Feifan waved his hand in refusal. "I have two surgeries tomorrow. I need a good rest tonight."

Chan Weiwei said with understanding, "I get it."

After a pause, she spoke again, her tone filled with admiration. "Dr. Yan, I learned a lot about you today."

"The more I learned, the more I realized just how incredible and amazing you are."

Yan Feifan said modestly, "Ms. Chan, you flatter me. What you’ve heard from others must be exaggerations."

Chan Weiwei chuckled. "Getting a world-renowned neurosurgeon like Dr. Kevin Vega to express his admiration is hardly an exaggeration."

At this point, she hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Um, Dr. Yan, I have a bit of an imposition to ask of you..."

Yan Feifan cut her off directly. "Ms. Chan, if it’s about a patient, please don’t say any more."

"My work schedule is packed. I really don’t have the spare capacity to take on other patients."

Chan Weiwei pursed her lips into a smile. "Dr. Yan, don’t worry, I’m not asking you to treat someone."

"It’s just a small favor I need your help with..."
