Chapter 684: Chapter 683: Smooth Talker

Over lunch, Professor Shi Min told Yan Feifan two things.

First, some lobbyists had come to his home on Sunday, asking him to persuade Yan Feifan to take a step back and let things go, to not be so unforgiving toward a senior in the medical field.

However, he had shot them down immediately.

Right is right, and wrong is wrong. It doesn’t matter if you’re a senior or a junior.

Given the lab mice-swapping incident that happened today, Shi Min felt some people had gone too far and crossed a line.

He firmly supported Yan Feifan in seeking justice through legal means.

Second, a university leader had visited him yesterday to explain that the recent incident regarding the repurchase of his villa in the Academician District was the private action of a few individuals with selfish motives, not a collective decision by the university’s leadership.

As a gesture of apology, although Yan Feifan’s villa had been converted to private property, it would still receive the same benefits as other homes in the Academician District.

The university would cover all related fees, such as utilities and property management.

Yan Feifan was quite satisfied with this practical and tangible apology from the university...

In the afternoon, the research lab was still filled with the CLANGING and BANGING of busy setup work.

To find some peace and quiet, Yan Feifan went to the hospital library’s study room to think about this week’s surgical plans and work schedule.

Considering the research lab was officially being established this week, with everything new at the start, plus his planned outing with his sister and Su Ye this Saturday and Sunday, Yan Feifan was facing another busy work week.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, he would continue his morning studies with his teacher, Lo Jun.

In the afternoon, he would be in the trauma surgery department, conducting a detailed physical examination with Chen Yu, Su Ye, and others on the female-to-male patient from the United States.

Director Chen Yu had tentatively scheduled this American patient’s penile reconstruction surgery for this Friday.

Wednesday morning, two intraspinal tumor puncture surgeries.

In the afternoon, he would perform a physical examination on the friend Zeng Ni had referred, the one with the severe underbite, followed by another intraspinal tumor puncture surgery.

For this particular intraspinal tumor surgery, Yan Feifan would be the lead surgeon for the entire procedure, responsible not only for the tumor puncture and injection but also for its resection.

Having done it once was enough to remember it. For someone like Yan Feifan, with his photographic memory and realistic simulation ability, being out of practice was not an issue.

However, it had been a long time since he had performed a complete intraspinal tumor resection, and his heart and hands were itching to do it again.

Moreover, the research lab’s hospital beds needed a steady stream of patients, and the team members needed to learn and integrate through their work.

On Thursday morning, he would assist Dr. Qin Feng from the PLA General Hospital with a puncture and injection surgery for a brain tumor patient.

In the afternoon, the full-face plastic surgery for the patient with the underbite.

Friday, the penile reconstruction surgery.

After laying out this entire schedule, Yan Feifan realized that his original plan to transfer to the cardiothoracic surgery department for studies this week had gone down the drain.

There really wasn’t enough time.

Yan Feifan suddenly discovered that establishing this research lab hadn’t saved him any time or energy. Instead, it had unconsciously added a lot more work to his plate.

However, Yan Feifan also knew this was only temporary.

Although he aspired to become an all-around surgeon, one person couldn’t possibly handle everything.

A great deal of auxiliary work needed to be done by others for him.

This was especially true for research projects. Yan Feifan only needed to point the way and state the desired outcome; the specific experiments and related operations could be completely delegated to his team members.

’Once the team is broken in, I’ll be able to relax and work much more efficiently.’

Holding on to this wonderful expectation, Yan Feifan immersed himself in planning the procedures for one surgery after another...

Nearing the end of the workday, Yan Feifan returned to the Little Red House Research Room.

The large office, created by merging two rooms, was now filled and orderly, a stark contrast to its empty and messy state that morning.

Lining the west wall was a row of man-high, gray metal lockers with combination locks.

These were for the team members to store their clothes and personal belongings.

To the east, next to the north entrance, were several pieces of office equipment, including a printer and a copier.

South of the equipment was a reception area, formed by two long sofas and one short one arranged around a long coffee table.

In a hospital, due to the need for rest, basically all long sofas could be used as beds.

The two long sofas Yan Feifan saw were no exception; they were more than spacious enough to be used as single beds.

Pushed together, the two long sofas could even manage to sleep three people.

Further south, reaching all the way to the windows, were ten smaller individual desks.

This was the nurses’ work area.

To the east, separated by two support pillars, were ten larger individual desks.

However, near the window, a round glass coffee table with four plush chairs formed the office’s only lounge area.

This section was the work area for the administration, doctors, and finance personnel.

Once all the office furniture and equipment were in place, Yan Feifan clearly felt that the office space had shrunk and seemed a bit cramped.

But these were the conditions at the Affiliated Hospital; many chief physicians in other departments had to share an office.

During morning meetings, a dozen or so assistants and students could only stand while reporting to the chief physician and receiving new assignments.

For Yan Feifan to have such a large, private office was already quite a privilege.

"Alright, everyone, pack up. I’m taking you all out for a big meal."

As soon as Yan Feifan finished speaking, Ye Lin eagerly asked, "Boss, are we going to that private kitchen?"

Yan Feifan grunted in affirmation.

Ye Lin immediately jumped for joy and boasted to Xv Shuang and Xu Ke beside her, "That private kitchen! Mrs. Meng and I went there once with the boss, and it was delicious."

"Later, I tried to go on my own, but I could never get a reservation."

She then exclaimed, "The per-person cost there isn’t cheap. Not including drinks, it starts at three or four hundred..."

"That expensive?" Xv Shuang and Xu Ke looked on with anticipation...

Yan Feifan called over Yu Suye, brought along Berry from the United States, and the entire research staff—twenty people in total—who then roared off in five cars toward Luo’s Private Kitchen...

On the way, Yan Ziruo, who was in the same car, asked, "Feifan, are you going to take that American girl as your student?"

"Not necessarily!"

Yan Feifan admitted frankly, "First, it depends on the investigation by the relevant authorities, to see if she has ulterior motives. Second, it depends on whether she’s truly dedicated to advancing in medicine and has a talent for it."

Yan Ziruo said "Oh," then added with a mix of envy and jealousy, "Her chest, and that butt of hers... I just don’t know how they got like that."

"Honestly..."

"Hey, Feifan, has she had any work done on her face?"

Yan Feifan shook his head. "From what I can see, there are no signs of surgery on her face."

This disappointed Yan Ziruo a little.

"A natural beauty?"

"With her looks, she could totally be a model or a star in Hollywood. Why would she ever think of becoming a doctor? It’s such a tough job."

"I really don’t know what she’s thinking."

Yan Feifan smiled lightly and said, "Some people are just driven by ideals. They like a challenge and refuse to live an ordinary, mediocre life."

"Just look at Su Ye. In every aspect, her qualities are on par with, if not better than, Berry’s, and she also chose to become a surgeon!"

These words made Yu Suye’s eyes curve into a smile, and she felt a wave of contentment wash over her.

Yan Ziruo shot her younger brother a sideways glance and huffed, "Feifan, you’ve become quite the smooth talker..."

Just then, Yan Feifan’s phone rang...

"Mr. Yan, we’ve found out who swapped the lab mice." It was the voice of the man with the potbelly.

"Who was it?" Yan Feifan asked urgently.

"Mao Xiang. He’s Wang Tao’s roommate and a student of Mr. Qin, the former head of the neurosurgery department."

The name Mao Xiang didn’t ring a bell for Yan Feifan.

He pressed, "He was probably just the one who did it, right? Who was behind it? Was it Xv Jiande and his wife?"

"Well, Mr. Yan, it actually wasn’t them."

The man with the potbelly explained further, "According to Mao Xiang’s confession, he believes that you and Dr. Qiu played dirty, forcing his teacher to retire early, which in turn affected his own future prospects."

"So, he decided to sabotage your experiment."

"However, the guy sold your lab mice to someone for a high price, which led us to a major discovery..."
