Chapter 689: Chapter 688: Take It as It Comes

On Saturday morning, for a rare change, Yan Feifan didn’t wake up on his own. His sister had to practically drag him out of bed.

The Yan siblings, Yu Suye, Duan Yu, and Feng Jian, who had rushed over early that morning, formed a group of five. Carrying their travel bags, they grabbed a simple breakfast at a small eatery by the south gate of their residential complex.

At 6:56 in the morning, the car that was scheduled to pick them up arrived right on time at the south gate of the complex.

To Yan Feifan’s surprise, what he had expected to be a minibus turned out to be a luxury coach that could seat fifty or sixty people.

Once the coach came to a steady stop, a woman stepped out. She was dressed in a custom-tailored, dark business suit, her hair in an immaculate bun. With a pretty face, glasses, and an elegant air, she looked to be around thirty years old.

With a gentle, warm smile, she introduced herself as Xu Zhen, their personal attendant for the entire trip.

She explained that if the Yan siblings, Yu Suye, or any of them needed anything during the trip, they could just tell her, and she would handle all the arrangements and coordination.

When Yan Feifan boarded the bus, he discovered it was a whole different world inside.

All the seats in the coach had been replaced with multifunctional leather seats as comfortable as those in an airplane’s first-class cabin.

There were only ten of these seats, which made the interior feel much more spacious.

The coach also featured a wet bar and a restroom for the guests’ convenience.

As Xu Zhen explained, Yan Feifan learned that they could hold small meetings for up to ten people on the bus, and even conduct international video conferences.

If they got tired of working, the space could also be temporarily converted into a karaoke lounge where they could belt out a few songs.

At the moment, Yan Feifan had zero interest in singing.

After three consecutive days of hectic work, he still hadn’t recovered and just wanted to sleep.

Yan Feifan immediately adjusted his seat to the lie-flat position.

A little over ten minutes later, the coach stopped again at the entrance of the Affiliated Hospital to pick up Wang Chuan and his daughter, Yanyan, who had come to join them.

"Chuan, why didn’t Mrs. Hua come?"

In response to Yan Ziruo’s question, Wang Chuan chuckled. "Mrs. Hua has to go home to be with her husband and child, so she’s not joining us."

Just then, Yanyan politely greeted everyone. "Good morning, Mr. Yan! Good morning, Ruoruo! Good morning, Su Ye..."

Yan Feifan replied, "Good morning, Yanyan."

However, the way everyone was addressing each other with some variation of ’brother’ or ’sister’ felt a bit awkward to Yan Feifan.

Wang Chuan sat down next to Yan Feifan, while Yanyan sat beside Yan Ziruo.

After the coach started moving again, Wang Chuan also adjusted his seat to a lie-flat position and settled in comfortably.

"This 98,000 was money well spent. Traveling all the way to Qiandao Lake like this is so much more comfortable than driving ourselves."

Yan Feifan hummed softly in agreement, and Wang Chuan continued, "I hear the infusion controller is selling quite well up north?"

Yan Feifan replied quietly, "Up north, especially in the northeast, the nights are already getting a bit chilly this time of year."

"Song Yi said that local IV patients and medical institutions have been very receptive to the infusion controller."

"Song Yi and her team are working around the clock to organize production. They’re aiming to have the product distributed nationwide within six months."

Wang Chuan said hopefully, "I hope this product is a huge hit. If so, we’ll have the money to buy back the house at Zuimo Court."

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but glance at Wang Chuan, asking in confusion, "Are you short on money? Can’t you just take on a few more plastic surgeries for celebrities?"

Wang Chuan snorted. "You think everyone can be like you, easily earning millions from a single plastic surgery?"

"Besides, because of you, the rest of us have been involuntarily knocked down a tier. We can’t even command high prices anymore."

"That’s a thing?"

Yan Feifan was a little amused and asked, "Chuan, are my surgical fees too low?"

Wang Chuan sighed softly. "It’s not about your fees. It’s that you’ve drastically raised people’s expectations."

"We can’t achieve your level of results, and the gap is obvious, so we don’t have the nerve to ask for exorbitant prices anymore."

Yan Feifan let out a long "Oh..." and chuckled. "Well, you can’t blame me for that. I’m already avoiding plastic surgeries as much as possible these days."

Wang Chuan shot him a look. "You don’t have time to take them, it’s not that you don’t want to."

He thought of something and asked, "Hey, that woman getting surgery to look like a celebrity, isn’t it almost time for her second procedure?"

"Still a little over half a month to go."

Wang Chuan hummed in acknowledgment. "That girl got a huge bargain. At your current rates, it would cost at least ten million."

"You should talk to them. That five million ’incentive’... just have them pay it directly instead of doing that whole street test."

Yan Feifan said nonchalantly, "There’s an agreement, so we’ll just follow it. There’s no need to make things complicated; it would make us seem dishonest."

He asked again, "Chuan, this time Mrs. Zhong... why didn’t she return to the country with the transgender patient?"

Wang Chuan explained, "She said she has work to take care of. Also, when Yanyan has her surgery around the Spring Festival, she’ll need to stay in the country for several months."

"She wants to use this time to properly sort out and arrange her properties, businesses, and work."

After a pause, Wang Chuan added in a low voice, "Feifan, there are two rumors circulating throughout the hospital right now..."

"One is that you have the ability to grant people sudden enlightenment, to make things ’click’ for them. The other is that you have a foreign beauty by your side who’s on par with an international star."

Yan Feifan scoffed. "The first one is pure rumor. If I had that kind of power, why haven’t I seen a leap in your skills, Chuan?"

This remark made Wang Chuan’s expression darken considerably.

The gap between him and Yan Feifan wasn’t in skill or experience, but in the precision of his hands and his overall strategic planning during surgery.

This was a gap that couldn’t be bridged by a sudden jolt of insight, a moment of inspiration, or an epiphany. It came down to a limitation in talent.

Just as Wang Chuan was feeling annoyed, he heard Yan Feifan continue, "Chuan, I was actually about to talk to you about Berry."

"If she passes my evaluation and I decide to let her stay and learn, could you guide her on the fundamentals of plastic surgery for me, Chuan?"

"I most likely won’t have enough time to teach her all that myself."

Wang Chuan said thoughtfully, "I can do that, but I have one condition!"

"What condition?" Yan Feifan asked curiously.

Wang Chuan said in a serious voice, "When you’re teaching Berry, Pan Jichuan, and the others, if you feel there’s anything useful for me, you have to teach me as well."

This stunned Yan Feifan, who turned to look at Wang Chuan blankly.

Wang Chuan said, a little embarrassed and annoyed, "What are you looking at me like that for?"

"I’m only in my early forties, the prime age for a surgeon."

"I don’t want to just stagnate."

"It’s just that before, with Yanyan’s situation, I felt hopeless. I realized I could never reach that level, so I kind of gave up."

"Now, you’ve reached that level."

"And that’s given me hope for improvement too."

Yan Feifan let out a soft "oh" of understanding and said with a smile, "No problem, Chuan. It’s hardly any extra effort."

"But let’s be clear, you’ll have to complete the assignments I give you on time and in full."

Wang Chuan just snorted and turned his head away, ignoring Yan Feifan...

A little over half an hour later, the coach moved from the elevated highway onto the expressway, its ride becoming even smoother.

Amidst the rhythmic swaying, Yan Feifan drifted off to sleep...

He didn’t know how much time had passed before he was shaken awake and told they had arrived at Qiandao Lake. It was time to get off the bus and board the yacht.

Yan Feifan stood up and stretched lazily.

Through the bus window, he saw a magnificent luxury yacht docked at a nearby pier. It was milky-white from bow to stern, with an incredibly elegant silhouette.

The yacht had three decks and was at least thirteen or fourteen meters high and forty to fifty meters long—a true behemoth.

"We’re not actually getting on that huge yacht, are we?"

"Mr. Yan, that’s the one!"

Xu Zhen, who had approached them, explained softly, "Mr. Yan, this yacht has one master suite, one junior suite, and three guest rooms."

"There is a crew of twelve on board, including a captain, first mate, sailors, a chef, and service staff."

"Together with them, I will do my utmost to ensure that you, your family, and your friends have a wonderful weekend holiday, Mr. Yan."

"Thank you!"

After thanking her, Yan Feifan suddenly realized something and asked for confirmation, "Don’t tell me we’re the only group of guests on the boat?"

Xu Zhen hummed in affirmation. "That’s correct, Mr. Yan."

"Besides the crew and service staff, no other outsiders will board the yacht to disturb you for the next two days and one night."

This made Yan Feifan frown.

Although he didn’t know much about market prices, it was obvious that 98,000 was nowhere near enough to charter such a large, luxurious yacht for two days and one night.

’Are they going to let us enjoy the service first and then extort a huge sum from us at checkout?’

’Or do they have some other ulterior motive?’

Yan Feifan’s mind raced. He glanced at the composed Duan Yu and Feng Jian, then exchanged looks with his sister, Yu Suye, and Wang Chuan, who all wore somber expressions.

Suddenly, he smiled. "Off the bus, onto the yacht!"

"Since we’re already here, let’s just go with the flow!"

"With me here, there’s nothing to fear even if the sky falls..."
