Chapter 567: Chapter 566: The Ceremony

At 8:00 AM, Yan Feifan arrived at Baining Hospital. At 9:00, he began the first surgery: a spinal canal tumor puncture and injection.

At 10:00, he started the second spinal canal tumor surgery.

At 11:00, Yan Feifan began a brain tumor puncture surgery.

A little past noon, after completing all his freelance surgeries for this trip to Jingcheng, Yan Feifan was about to go get lunch when he was stopped by a middle-aged man who claimed to be the vice principal of a high school.

"Lixin High School?" Yan Feifan repeated the name.

The man, who introduced himself as Jiang Shi, said proudly, "Our Lixing Middle School is known as the top private secondary school in Jingcheng. Our reputation isn’t far behind that of Qinghua High or Jingcheng University High School."

"The percentage of our graduates who get into Qinghua or Jingcheng University each year, whether through recommendations, the college entrance exams, or other means, is consistently over five percent."

Yan Feifan glanced at Zeng Ni, who was standing to the side. She nodded and said, "Lixing Middle School is indeed very prestigious. Their admission standards are incredibly strict."

"I was rejected back in the day."

Xu Yanhai chimed in, "My application didn’t get through that year either."

’Getting rejected just proves you two were scrubs,’ Yan Feifan thought. ’It doesn’t prove how great they are.’

He patiently asked, "Mr. Jiang, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Shi chuckled lightly. "Mr. Yan, it’s like this. We understand that you are a top-tier doctor, and we’d like to invite you to teach a practical biology class for our school’s extracurricular club next week. On frog dissection."

Yan Feifan was so stunned he thought he must have misheard.

"Mr. Jiang, you came all this way to find me just to invite me to teach a biology class to a bunch of high school students... on how to dissect frogs?"

"Mr. Yan, that’s right!"

Jiang Shi explained further, "Our Lixing Middle School offers many electives and extracurricular clubs. A lot of the instructors are renowned university professors or distinguished figures from society whom we hire."

"Our original intention is to have our students learn from first-rate experts, to let them personally experience the highest level of a discipline’s appeal, spark their interest in learning, and help them establish loftier goals and ideals."

This was their educational philosophy. While Yan Feifan felt it was a bit of an overkill, he couldn’t really say anything about it.

He declined politely, "Mr. Jiang, thank you for the recognition, but my schedule is quite tight. I can’t spare the time."

"Please find someone else."

"Mr. Yan, don’t be so quick to refuse!"

Jiang Shi pressed on, "Mr. Yan, the dozen or so members on Lixin High’s board of directors are all titans in their respective industries. You can easily find their names with a quick search online."

"Many of the students’ parents are also successful individuals."

"The number of famous scholars, celebrities, and distinguished figures who have given lectures or served as instructors at our school is simply countless."

Jiang Shi tried to entice him, "Mr. Yan, as long as you become an instructor, you’ll become a member of this vast network of connections."

"The school holds one or two networking receptions every year. The caliber of the attendees is comparable to a session of the Jingcheng Political Consultative Conference."

Yan Feifan resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "Mr. Jiang, do you know what I’m most afraid of?"

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Shi couldn’t help but ask.

Yan Feifan said without a trace of modesty, "As a doctor whose skills are more than just passable, what I fear most is knowing too many people and having too wide a network. It makes it hard to turn people down."

He stated his position again, "Mr. Jiang, my work schedule is genuinely packed. You should really go invite someone else..."

This left Jiang Shi feeling quite frustrated.

He never imagined that what he considered Lixing Middle School’s greatest advantage would be the very thing this guy in front of him was trying to avoid at all costs.

"Mr. Yan..."

Jiang Shi quickened his pace and once again blocked Yan Feifan, who was trying to leave.

"Mr. Yan, since we don’t have the honor of inviting you to be an instructor, let’s drop the subject for now."

"Can we talk about Feng Shuxin?"

"Who’s Feng Shuxin?" Yan Feifan didn’t remember knowing anyone by that name.

Now, Jiang Shi was truly frustrated. He reminded him, "The owner of Yu Yuan Workshop is Feng Shuxin."

Yan Feifan let out a sound of realization, then looked at Jiang Shi with a smirk. "So, you’re here to plead his case. A lobbyist."

Jiang Shi gave an awkward smile and explained, "The invitation to be an instructor was also genuine."

After a pause, he continued, "Mr. Yan, as far as I know, there wasn’t any real conflict between you and Feng Shuxin."

"It was just a misunderstanding. And the fact that Feng Shuxin’s subordinates didn’t know how to handle things, offending and provoking you with their words."

"Feng Shuxin is willing to apologize to you publicly and offer compensation to your satisfaction."

"I hope you can find it in you to be lenient with him this one time, Mr. Yan."

Yan Feifan chuckled softly and said evasively, "Mr. Jiang, this isn’t a matter of whether I’m lenient or not. As long as he hasn’t broken any laws, no one can do anything to him. I don’t have the power to frame people."

"Therefore, what he’s facing now is the judgment of the law. That’s not something I can forgive or interfere with."

After a pause, Yan Feifan suddenly asked, "Is Feng Shuxin an instructor at your school, or a board member?"

Jiang Shi shook his head and explained earnestly, "Neither. We just have a bit of a personal relationship."

As soon as he said this, he saw Yan Feifan turn to leave again.

Jiang Shi was about to follow, but a stern-faced woman by Yan Feifan’s side blocked him with an outstretched arm.

He already knew that this woman was Yan Feifan’s armed guard, so it wouldn’t be wise to rashly push forward.

Jiang Shi could only watch in disappointment as Yan Feifan and the others left.

As things stood, Feng Shuxin was calling in favors everywhere.

However, the people he asked had found out that the order came from a powerful figure in the military, so none of them dared to speak up for him anymore.

Now, the case was progressing very quickly.

Anyone with eyes could see that a major figure was pulling strings from behind the scenes, pushing for a swift and severe resolution.

Who would dare to stick their neck out?

Besides, Feng Shuxin’s own background wasn’t exactly clean to begin with.

’Jiang Shi figured that by taking the initiative to approach the one who could solve the problem, he had done right by his friendship with Feng Shuxin, even if he came away empty-handed.’

Now, Feng Shuxin could only blame himself. He had already gone legit, but he didn’t know when to keep a low profile and ended up provoking someone he shouldn’t have.

Who would have thought that a ridiculously young surgeon could have such a powerful and terrifying background...?

After lunch at Baining Hospital, Yan Feifan said goodbye to Zeng Ni, as well as Xu Yanhai, Sun Xuenong, and Shang Xiaorong. He and Duan Yu then took a car from Baining Hospital to Capital Airport...

A little after 4:30 PM, Yan Feifan and Duan Yu—who was carrying a massive backpack that was half her height—walked out of Binhai International Airport. They found his Cayenne in the underground parking garage, where it had been parked since Saturday...

On the way back to Zuimo Court, Yan Feifan carefully observed Duan Yu’s driving skills, especially her performance in the complex urban environment with heavy traffic and crowds.

The results of his observation left Yan Feifan very satisfied.

"Duan Yu, your driving is pretty good. This way, I don’t have to waste time learning how to drive myself."

After making his assessment, Yan Feifan suddenly said, "Hey, pull over at that flower shop up ahead!"

Duan Yu did as he said, parking the car in front of the nearby flower shop. She then accompanied him as he bought two bouquets of flowers.

Yan Feifan explained to Duan Yu, "I was thinking about what Shang Xiaorong said last night, and I feel that certain symbolic rituals are somewhat necessary at important moments in life."

"I’ve already bought the rings, so I might as well throw in a bouquet of flowers."

"It’ll be Su Ye’s first time receiving a ring from me, and flowers too. This double-first surprise should give her something to remember for a long time."

"As for the ceremony..."

At this point, Yan Feifan suddenly clammed up.

As a woman, Duan Yu was internally quite curious to see how this guy Yan Feifan would present the rings.

The suspense didn’t last long. It was resolved the moment the two of them walked through the door of Apartment 701, Unit 1, Building 9 of the complex.

"Sis, Su Ye, I bought these flowers for you."

"And this..."

Yan Feifan thrust the flowers at Yan Ziruo and Yu Suye, who had come to greet them, and then tossed two small, exquisite jewelry boxes to them.

"Sis, yours is a gift."

"Su Ye, yours is a token of our love!"

"Try them on. If they don’t fit, go get them resized at a jewelry store!"

After saying this, Yan Feifan left his sister, Yu Suye, and Duan Yu standing there, dumbfounded, and went to the bathroom to wash up...
