Chapter 709: Chapter 708: Relationship Maintenance

A little after ten o’clock on Sunday morning, the trio of Yan Feifan, Feng Jian, and Su Ru arrived at Jingcheng Baining Hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Yan Feifan didn’t take a moment’s rest, heading straight into the neurosurgery inpatient building to begin his surgical preparations.

He had two surgeries that morning: one intraspinal tumor puncture and injection, and one cerebral blood clot puncture and ablation.

Su Ru watched Yan Feifan stride briskly through the isolation doors and into the surgical area, then turned to ask Feng Jian.

"Is he always like this every time he comes to Baining?"

Feng Jian nodded. "Basically, yes."

"He’s busy for three hours in the morning, takes an hour for lunch and a break, then he’s busy for another two-plus hours in the afternoon before heading to the airport to return to Binhai."

Su Ru sighed softly. "Feifan is already so famous, yet he still works this tirelessly. It’s really not easy."

Just then, a slender, elegant-looking man who appeared to be in his fifties appeared in the family waiting area and walked toward them.

When Su Ru saw him, she quickly stepped forward to greet him. "Honey, did you bring that employee from your office?"

"I did. The hospital staff is running tests on him now—the ones Yan Feifan requested."

The man replied, his gaze shifting to Feng Jian as Su Ru’s voice sounded in his ear.

"Honey, this is Feifan’s assistant, Feng Jian."

"Feifan has already gone into the surgical area to operate on a patient."

After the brief introduction, Su Ru turned to introduce her husband to Feng Jian. "Feng Jian, this is my husband, Yu Yopeng."

"Hello, Feng Jian!"

Yu Yopeng greeted Feng Jian politely, then immediately pulled Su Ru over to a relatively secluded corner of the family waiting area.

"Ru, some big mouth spread the news that Yan Feifan is Su Ye’s fiancé in the office work group."

"From yesterday to today, I’ve received no fewer than twenty calls. Some were beating around the bush, others were direct, but they all wanted the same thing: for Yan Feifan to see them or perform surgery."

Yu Yopeng said with an emotional sigh, "I really didn’t expect this kid to become so capable. To think so many people would be seeking his help."

Su Ru shot him a look and teased, "You’re only just realizing that now?"

After a pause, she lowered her voice and said, "Su Ye told me that the waiting lists for Yan Feifan’s surgeries at Baining and the Binhai Affiliated Hospital were already booked through the middle of next year."

"Then he suddenly announced that he would stop performing these puncture and injection surgeries at the end of this calendar year."

"That’s made a lot of patients anxious, and they’re all pulling strings everywhere."

"And then there’s the plastic surgery..."

Su Ru said mysteriously, "Honey, you’d never guess, but his fee for a single plastic surgery has skyrocketed to four or five million."

"And that’s only if someone with extremely strong connections makes the introduction. Only then will he squeeze in the time and reluctantly agree to take it on."

This struck Yu Yopeng as somewhat incredible.

"A double-eyelid surgery, a nose job, a lip procedure—and it costs four or five million? Robbing a bank can’t even compare to how fast he makes money!"

Su Ru shot him another look. "You just don’t get it. You get what you pay for."

"Su Ye showed me the before-and-after comparisons of a few plastic surgeries Feifan performed. To be honest, I think those millions were well spent."

Yu Yopeng cut her off. "Let’s not talk about that for now."

"Ru, a few people have come to me for help. I couldn’t just turn them down, so I gave them a vague answer for the time being."

"What about Su Ye and Yan Feifan..."

Su Ru hesitated for a moment before saying, "Honey, I’ve been staying with them these past few days. Feifan wakes up at six, exercises for ten to twenty minutes, eats breakfast, and then rushes to the hospital. He never gets off work on time in the evening; sometimes he doesn’t get back until the middle of the night."

"He’s truly busy and tired. It hurts my heart just watching him."

After a pause, Su Ru gave her opinion. "Honey, as for these requests for favors... even the ones you feel you can’t refuse, you’d better refuse them."

"Our relationship with them has only just started to improve. If we overdo it on our end..."

"Feifan has gotten this far. He might seem nice and easygoing, but he’s definitely capable of making tough decisions when he needs to."

Seeing Yu Yopeng’s silent, pensive expression, Su Ru added, "Even if we don’t consider Su Ye, we have to think about Chuan Bai."

"Feifan may not manage that company’s affairs, but he has the power to make the final call."

Yu Yopeng let out a light breath, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction. "It’s only been a few days, and you’re already calling him ’Feifan’ and constantly speaking up for him."

"Don’t tell me you’ve been brainwashed by them?"

Yu Yopeng held up a hand to stop Su Ru, who was about to argue. "Since we’ve decided to rely on this kid to help Chuan Bai achieve great commercial success, we naturally won’t do something so shortsighted."

"I’ll handle those requests."

He then added with a complex expression, "I’m already at my age. I’ll be retiring in a few years anyway, so I’m not afraid of offending people..."

Nearly one in the afternoon, Yan Feifan finished his morning’s work and left the surgical area to find Yu Youhai waiting for him, his face wreathed in smiles.

He couldn’t help but joke, "Mr. Yu, did some great news come your way? You look so happy."

Yu Youhai laughed heartily. "Indeed, it’s great news."

"At this morning’s meeting, the minority yielded to the majority. The resolution to approve the Baining Branch project passed by a one-vote margin."

"It wasn’t easy. It’s been brewing for nearly two years, and after half a year of active promotion, it’s finally been confirmed."

Yan Feifan said happily, "That is great news. Congratulations!"

"Mr. Yu, has the location been decided? Binhai?"

Yu Youhai chuckled. "I can only tell you for now that Binhai is one of several candidate locations."

"Personally, I’m inclined to choose Binhai."

Now that Yu Suye was part of the Affiliated Hospital, Yan Feifan didn’t particularly care where the Baining Branch ended up being built.

He then asked, "Mr. Yu, about that training program for one hundred young doctors, was anyone from Baining Hospital selected?"

Yu Youhai shook his head. "I’ve heard of that international training program, but no one from Baining Hospital applied."

He explained, "It’s a Ministry of Health project that favors public medical institutions. It would have been a waste of time for us to apply."

"After being a token applicant a few times, we learned our lesson and stopped wasting our time and energy."

Yu Youhai added with a touch of pride, "It’s not like we’re short on opportunities for international training. Baining Hospital maintains friendly cooperative and exchange relationships with fifteen renowned medical institutions abroad."

"Mr. Yan, why do you ask about this..."

Yan Feifan said vaguely, "Just asking casually. Nothing important."

Yu Youhai naturally didn’t believe Yan Feifan’s evasive answer, but he didn’t press the matter further...

Yan Feifan and Feng Jian ate lunch together, undisturbed.

From 2:00 to 4:20 in the afternoon, Yan Feifan completed another puncture and injection surgery for a cranial tumor.

After the surgery, accompanied by Su Ru and Yu Yopeng, Yan Feifan went to a neurosurgery examination room. He personally performed several checks on the man suffering from dementia due to a cerebral blood clot and reviewed his test results.

After reviewing the test reports, Yan Feifan looked up to meet the patient’s family’s anxious gazes and said, "It’s more or less certain that the cognitive impairment was caused by brain damage resulting from a blood clot."

"I can eliminate the blood clot, but I can’t guarantee that he will regain his cognitive abilities once it’s gone."

Yan Feifan continued, "If you’re not in a hurry, I can perform the puncture surgery on him when I come back to Baining Hospital in two weeks."

"If you are in a hurry, you can come to Binhai Affiliated Hospital next week."

The patient’s family member hurriedly replied, "Mr. Yan, we’ll go to Binhai next week..."

Having settled the treatment plan for this patient, Yan Feifan bid farewell to the couple, Yu Yopeng and Su Ru.

As he was being seen off, Yan Feifan walked out of the neurosurgery department and saw two people standing in front of a Cadillac minivan.

One was Zhao Xiaoting, and the other was Yu Youyi.

Zhao Xiaoting handed several exquisite food containers to Yan Feifan, grinning. "I packed some small pastries for you to eat on the way."

Yan Feifan was a little touched, but he said, "Zhao Xiaoting, you don’t have to go out of your way to bring me pastries."

"I’m not exactly a foodie."

Zhao Xiaoting gave a little laugh and said, half-joking, "Feifan, it’s a small gift, but it’s the thought that counts. It’s partly to thank you and partly to maintain our connection."

"This way, you won’t forget about your friend here."

Yan Feifan smiled and shook his head, then looked at Yu Youyi.

"Dr. Yu, you..."

"Mr. Yan, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you. If you agree, perhaps we could talk in the car on the way?"
