To be honest, the idea of a spliced heart transplant was just a sudden, crazy thought that popped into Yan Feifan’s head.

He hadn’t thought it through carefully at all. His intuition merely told him that it was somewhat feasible.

When he discussed this splicing transplant surgery further with Gu Lin, Yan Feifan realized that even under the most ideal surgical conditions, the suturing of blood vessels and nerves involved would increase exponentially compared to a whole heart transplant.

As a result, not only would the difficulty of the surgery increase several times over, but the time required would also be extended to at least eight to ten hours.

However, the surgery was still feasible.

With modern microsurgery, even a baby’s finger could be successfully reattached, let alone a heart of this size.

It was just that the drastically increased difficulty and prolonged duration would undoubtedly lead to a significant drop in the success rate.

Thus, compared to a whole heart transplant, this spliced heart transplant yielded half the result with twice the effort. It seemed more like asking for trouble.

This realization left Yan Feifan feeling quite frustrated.

Gu Lin, however, grew interested. “Yan, we can’t exactly say we’re asking for trouble. It’s actually a matter of weighing the pros and cons.

“If a spliced heart transplant can truly and significantly reduce the immune system’s rejection response…

“Compared to this long-term benefit, the increased difficulty and extended duration of the surgery become acceptable.”

Yan Feifan said in frustration, “Sir, verifying this isn’t something that can be achieved in a year or two. There might not even be any results for eight or ten years.

“Moreover, that’s under the premise of having a sufficient number of patients for clinical trials.”

Gu Lin couldn’t help but smile. “Yan, I know the projects you’ve produced results for recently have all been quick and straightforward, yielding outcomes in two to three months at most.

“However, you must understand that this isn’t the norm in medical research.

“Medical research projects that take years, or even a decade or two, can be found everywhere!”

Yan Feifan scratched his head and chuckled. “Burying my head in a single project for many years… I just don’t have that kind of patience right now.

“Sir, what about this spliced heart transplant surgery?”

Gu Lin shot him a sidelong glance and snorted softly. “At the end of the day, you’re still young and lack focus.

“Then again, with your head full of wild, imaginative ideas, it really wouldn’t suit you to spend years specializing in just one medical project.”

He pondered for a moment before continuing, “I think this spliced transplant idea of yours is still worth testing out.

“Perhaps during such a long period of growing together, the transplanted half of the organ might even be assimilated and integrated.

“The human body’s adaptability is quite remarkable.

“How about this…”

Gu Lin made a decision. “I’ll discuss it with Mr. Liang, Mr. Deng, and the others first. If they’re interested, we’ll start this project together. We might just achieve something groundbreaking.”

After a brief pause, he changed the subject. “Let’s put this matter aside for now and continue with the heart transplant lesson.”

After 5:00 p.m., having finished his day of studying, Yan Feifan returned to his office in the Little Red House, only to find two groups of people waiting for him.

One was Qingyu from Malaysia.

The other consisted of Song Yi, Yu Chuanbai, and two middle-aged men with unfamiliar faces.

Yan Feifan received Qingyu first.

This was his first time meeting her in person.

He had to maintain a clear stance; Yan Feifan was firmly on his aunt’s side.

Yan Feifan sized her up.

Compared to her photos, the Qingyu standing before him was dressed in a slim-fitting, light-colored autumn outfit, with her long hair simply tied back. She looked somewhat nervous and reserved, giving off a pitiful and delicate aura.

“Ms. Qingyu, do you need something from me?”

Qingyu tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear and asked softly, “Mr. Yan, Taotao’s surgery is scheduled for tomorrow.

“Will you be participating in his operation?”

Yan Feifan shook his head. “I won’t be participating. Dr. Yu will be the lead surgeon in charge of Taotao’s operation.”

He then explained, “Ms. Qingyu, please don’t think we aren’t taking Taotao’s case seriously!

“Although Dr. Yu looks quite young and is only an attending physician, her true skills are on par with a chief physician’s.

“Most importantly, Taotao’s injuries fall exactly into the field Dr. Yu excels at most.”

Qingyu nodded. “I didn’t mean to doubt you. I’ve heard that Dr. Yu is an excellent surgeon.

“I’ve also heard that the absolute best surgeon in the Affiliated Hospital, the number one person, is… you, Mr. Yan!”

Yan Feifan smiled. “Ms. Qingyu, every surgeon has their own field of expertise. In her specialized area, Dr. Yu is not inferior to me at all.”

After a pause, he emphasized, “My uncle is my closest direct elder, and Taotao is very likely his child, making him my younger cousin.

“Ms. Qingyu, please believe that I wouldn’t be careless regarding Taotao’s surgical arrangements.

“Otherwise, my uncle would never forgive me!”

A faint smile appeared on Qingyu’s face. “Mr. Yan, hearing you say that sets my mind at ease!

“Thank you, Mr. Yan!

“You still have guests, so I won’t disturb you any longer.”

After seeing Qingyu off, Yan Feifan met with Song Yi, Yu Chuanbai, and the two guests they had brought.

Through Song Yi’s introduction, Yan Feifan learned that these two guests were from the famous northern city of Quancheng and were the executives of a high-precision machine tool factory.

This morning, both parties had signed a strategic cooperation agreement.

“Strategic cooperation?” Yan Feifan was a bit puzzled.

Tai Jie, the general manager of the machine tool factory, said heartily, “Mr. Yan, we are a restructured state-owned precision machine tool R&D enterprise with profound technological accumulation.

“During our discussions with Mr. Song, our views aligned perfectly. We decided to cooperate closely and enter the endlessly promising niche market of precision medical machining tools together.”

With a warm expression, he continued, “Mr. Yan, I’ve heard your great name more than once back in Quancheng.

“A medical genius rarely seen in a century.”

Yan Feifan replied modestly, “Those are just exaggerated praises from others. I’m merely a bit more outstanding than average.”

Tai Jie laughed heartily. “Mr. Yan, you’re too modest.

“Just a few days ago, I watched a video online of that girl who received transplants of her twin sister’s hands, feet, and half of her face.

“Looking at her face now, you can’t even tell she’s had surgery. Mr. Yan, you truly live up to the title of a genius.”

As he spoke, Tai Jie pulled out a Bluetooth earpiece from his pocket that looked very familiar to Yan Feifan.

“I don’t sleep well, and I have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar beds.

“But over the past few days of negotiations, thanks to the Sleep Promotion Device you developed, Mr. Yan, I’ve been able to get a great night’s sleep at the hotel every night.”

Tai Jie said with utmost sincerity, “Mr. Yan, your medical skills and the products you’ve developed have greatly strengthened our confidence in collaborating with the Extraordinary Medical Technology Company.”

Yan Feifan replied politely, “Thank you for your trust, Mr. Tai. I am also very much looking forward to the smooth success of our collaboration.”

The two parties exchanged a few more polite pleasantries before Yan Feifan politely declined an invitation to grab dinner together.

While seeing them off, Yan Feifan quickly exchanged a few words with Song Yi, who had lagged behind.

“Feifan, their development has hit a bottleneck, and they’ve set their sights on our medical market. I, on the other hand, am after their R&D capabilities and their large team of engineering technicians.” Song Yi revealed her little scheme.

“Feifan, with their technical strength backing us up, you won’t need to ask for anyone else’s help the next time you come up with a new idea.”

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Yu Suye came looking for him.

“Feifan, the little girl Xv Shuang introduced came in for a physical examination, and it turns out she’s pregnant. She’s already two months along.

“We can’t do the surgery for now.

“According to her ID, she’s only sixteen years and four months old. While talking to her, I found her to be a bit naive and somewhat slow.

“Feifan, I suspect she might have a slight cognitive impairment. I think it’s necessary to notify the police to investigate.”

It was a doctor’s duty and responsibility to notify the police and other relevant departments if they discovered anything suspicious while treating a patient.

It was just that this girl’s situation…

Yan Feifan thought for a moment and said, “Let’s have Xv Shuang look into whether she has a boyfriend or any other relevant details first.”
