Chapter 526: Chapter 525: Big Shot

Yan Feifan spent the entire Saturday holed up at his residence in Zuimo Court, resting and recuperating without once setting foot outside.

Early Sunday morning, Feng Jian drove him to Binhai Airport.

Moreover, Feng Jian would be accompanying him to Jingcheng.

This was Yan Ziruo’s decision.

In her words, Yan Feifan was a classic trouble magnet, always running into problems, big or small. With Feng Jian by his side to ensure his safety, everyone could rest a little easier.

In the airport’s departure lounge, Yan Feifan unexpectedly ran into Ouyang Yanran and her two companions.

"Feifan, we’re heading to Jingcheng for a detailed discussion with Baining Medical Technology to see if a collaboration is possible."

Ouyang Yanran explained with a gentle smile, "Regarding your suggestion last time, we’ve had several intense discussions internally. We believe a deep collaboration between our two sides could be a great opportunity for rapid, mutually beneficial development."

She then gestured to the two people beside her and said, "Feifan, let me introduce you. These two are the technical leads for our group’s surgical robot project department..."

Yan Feifan exchanged a few pleasantries with the two R&D personnel before turning his gaze back to Ouyang Yanran.

"Yanran, are you in charge of this project now?"

Ouyang Yanran smiled faintly. "Not exactly. For now, I’m just in charge of the negotiations with Baining Medical Technology regarding a potential collaboration on this project."

"We can talk about the future after we’ve successfully reached an agreement."

As she spoke, she casually took two steps forward, putting some distance between herself and the two technicians, and lowered her voice.

"Feifan, the old master of my family asked me to thank you on behalf of the Lin Family for your magnanimity in not pursuing that matter any further."

"Thank you!"

Yan Feifan replied politely, "No need to thank me, Yanran. It was the proper thing to do."

Yesterday, Lin Zuo was sentenced to ten days of administrative detention, effectively closing the book on that incident.

Ouyang Yanran chuckled. "Ten days is more than enough for that guy to do some serious self-reflection."

"Afterward, the Lin Family will arrange for him to go abroad. Whether or not he can make something of himself will depend on his own efforts and destiny..."

They weren’t on the same flight, so after chatting for a little while, Yan Feifan and Feng Jian went to board their plane...

At 9:36 AM, the plane landed at Shoudu Capital International Airport.

Yan Feifan found that Zeng Ni and Yan Jiaojiao were there to meet him, along with the personal driver of Vice President Yu Youhai.

Once they were settled in the spacious Cadillac van, Yan Feifan took a tablet out of his briefcase and looked at an expectant Yan Jiaojiao.

"Here are the mock-ups for your post-op results. There are frontal views and side profiles from various angles."

As he turned on the tablet, Yan Feifan added a warning, "The changes to your face will be quite significant compared to how you look now."

"You need to be mentally prepared..."

Yan Jiaojiao said eagerly, "I am. I’ve been prepared for a long time..."

As she spoke, she impatiently took the tablet and began to gaze at it, her eyes devouring the images...

Zeng Ni, sitting next to her, also leaned over anxiously.

The moment she saw the frontal image on the screen, she gasped in surprise. "Whoa, this doesn’t look..."

"Huh? But the more I look, the more it does..."

This surgical design was different from the full-face reconstructions Yan Feifan had performed on others before.

The effect of his previous work could be described this way:

At first glance, the person was still recognizable. But upon closer inspection, the resemblance faded, as if the face had been digitally enhanced with a beauty filter.

Yan Jiaojiao’s mock-ups, however, were completely unrecognizable at first glance. She looked like a total stranger.

But upon closer inspection, the eyes, eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth looked more and more like Yan Jiaojiao.

This was mainly because Yan Jiaojiao’s face was very flat. Yan Feifan’s surgical design drastically increased the depth of her features, giving her face more definition.

This created a first impression that was vastly different from his usual work.

Yan Feifan had been observing Yan Jiaojiao the whole time.

In her expression, Yan Feifan saw a progression from shock to doubt, and then to delighted surprise.

Finally, she simply stared, lost in thought.

Clearly, Yan Jiaojiao was taking the mock-ups and living them out in her own imagination.

Yan Feifan was very satisfied with her reaction.

He had put an immense amount of thought and effort into Yan Jiaojiao’s surgical plan.

In addition to maximizing the three-dimensional quality of her features, he had meticulously perfected every detail of her eyes, nose, and mouth. The design was not just exquisite and beautiful, but also made everything look smooth and natural, without the slightest hint of artificiality.

A moment later, Zeng Ni exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, this is more incredible than any magic trick!"

"To be blunt, Jiaojiao, your old face was a four or five out of ten at best..."

"But this face is at least a nine! With looks like these, you could easily become a celebrity."

Pulled from her reverie, Yan Jiaojiao’s face was flushed with excitement, and her hands, clutching the tablet, were trembling.

"Mr. Yan, this... this is truly beyond my wildest dreams."

"Can I really look like this?"

Yan Feifan smiled at the incredulous Yan Jiaojiao.

"Yan Jiaojiao, if you approve, then in a few days your facial examination data, along with these post-op mock-ups, will be sent to renowned plastic surgeons all over the country."

"It will be the equivalent of an open challenge."

Yan Feifan said proudly, "Why would I do this if I wasn’t absolutely confident?"

Yan Jiaojiao took a deep breath. "Mr. Yan, I approve! One hundred percent! No, ten thousand percent!"

Yan Feifan chuckled. "There’s no need to decide so quickly. I’ll be leaving Baining Hospital around three or four this afternoon."

"You have plenty of time between now and when I leave Baining to review this surgical design."

After a pause, Yan Feifan added, "Yan Jiaojiao, given the significant change to your appearance, you’ll also need to register the change with your local police department..."

"I will, Mr. Yan!"

Yan Jiaojiao acknowledged, then immediately dove into an excited, chattering discussion about the mock-ups with Zeng Ni...

At 10:30 AM, they arrived at Baining Hospital.

After a brief rest and some preparation, Yan Feifan began the first of two puncture and injection procedures for intraspinal tumors.

At 12:20 PM, Yan Feifan completed the second puncture and injection procedure.

As he walked out of the surgical area, he saw a tall, middle-aged man with a black armband on his left sleeve approaching him with Feng Jian.

"Mr. Yan, I’m Zhang Xirong. I contacted you the night before last."

"Thank you!"

Yan Feifan recognized the voice as soon as the man spoke.

He sidestepped Zhang Xirong’s bow and replied, "Mr. Zhang, my condolences."

Zhang Xirong straightened up and sighed, "Although we all knew this day would come, it still felt rather sudden."

After a pause, he continued with gratitude in his voice, "Our entire family is incredibly grateful for your help. You allowed us to have one last conversation with the Old Master, so he could pass on without any regrets."

As he spoke, Zhang Xirong offered him a meter-long scroll tube.

"This is a work of calligraphy from the Old Master’s collection. It’s just a small token of our appreciation, but please, Mr. Yan, accept it."

"Mr. Zhang, you’re too generous..."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yan Feifan accepted the scroll tube and handed it to Feng Jian.

Zhang Xirong once again cupped his hands in a gesture of respect. "Mr. Yan, my apologies, but I must rush back to handle the Old Master’s funeral arrangements."

"Once everything is settled, I will be sure to make time to thank you properly, Mr. Yan."

"You’re too kind, Mr. Zhang. Please, go and attend to your business..."

Yan Feifan watched Zhang Xirong depart. Zeng Ni, who had been waiting to the side, then quickly pulled Yan Jiaojiao over to him.

"Feifan, you actually know Zhang Xirong?"

"Is he very famous?" Yan Feifan asked curiously.

Zeng Ni exclaimed, "Of course he’s famous! He’s a major figure in Jingcheng..."
