Chapter 727: Chapter 726: Joyful Talk Over Wine

A surprisingly large number of guests came to offer their congratulations.

Besides Yan Feifan’s entire medical research lab attending, over thirty people from the Affiliated Hospital also came specifically for the Yan siblings.

He Pengfei, the chief of the Dacheng Street Police Station, along with Zheng Libin, Li Zenglin, and Shang Na from the district’s Public Security Bureau, all came in plain clothes to congratulate them as friends.

In addition, some of Liu Xia’s old friends and regular customers from her many years in the restaurant business also came one after another to offer their congratulations.

Fortunately, Xinfeng Restaurant was well-prepared, and the venue was quite spacious.

The restaurant temporarily added some tables and chairs, making full use of the space in the private rooms and main hall. They managed to squeeze in twenty-six tables to accommodate all the guests.

At nearly eleven-thirty in the morning, after a brief wedding ceremony witnessed by all, the banquet officially began.

The Yan siblings, Yu Suye, her parents, Yu Chuanbai and his fiancée, Duan Yu, plus Liu Jin and Wang Chuan—ten people in total—were seated in a private room on the third floor.

The reason Liu Jin and Wang Chuan were seated there was that Yu Suye’s parents had made a special trip from Jingcheng.

This was, in a sense, the first formal visit from the girlfriend’s parents. However, the only direct elders the Yan siblings acknowledged were today’s bride and groom.

The bride and groom were busy attending to guests during the midday banquet, so they couldn’t sit and entertain for long.

Therefore, they had invited Liu Jin, a man of considerable standing, and Wang Chuan, who was both a mentor and a close friend, to serve as hosts in their stead.

Liu Jin and Wang Chuan, for their part, gladly accepted this new role and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yu Suye’s father, Yu Yopeng, knew that the head of a top-tier general hospital like the Affiliated Hospital held an extraordinary social status and influence, and for a moment, he felt rather overwhelmed by the honor.

However, after chatting for a short while at the table, he discovered that not only was Mr. Liu exceedingly cordial, but he had also adopted the position of a representative for the man’s family, frequently deferring to him.

Having spent decades navigating the bureaucratic world, Yu Yopeng’s position may not have been high, but he knew how to read people and situations.

He understood that this Party Secretary wasn’t acting this way because of the Yu Family’s influence, nor because of his daughter—it could only be because of Yan Feifan.

This made Yu Yopeng think much more highly of Yan Feifan.

After a bit of small talk, Yu Yopeng steered the conversation toward a topic of interest to the other man.

"Mr. Liu, I heard from Su Ye that your hospital has plans to establish a new branch?"

"What a coincidence. Baining Hospital also just voted last week to establish a branch."

Liu Jin chuckled. "Mr. Yu, that is indeed the case."

"Our Affiliated Hospital is located in the city center, where land is prohibitively expensive. Our development is severely limited, especially our bed capacity, which is always stretched thin, leading to constant patient complaints."

At this, he looked at Yan Feifan and Wang Chuan and said excitedly, "Let me share some good news with you two."

"The municipal government is drafting a plan to create an international medical industry zone."

Wang Chuan asked curiously, "Has the lobbying already paid off? I thought it was still in the planning stages and hadn’t been pushed forward on a large scale."

Liu Jin chuckled. "Although the lobbying hasn’t officially started, some whispers and bits of information have already gotten out."

"Perhaps it just so happened to coincide with the ideas of the higher-ups. After all, the medical industry is a sunrise industry with endless potential for growth."

Wang Chuan asked tentatively, "The Phoenix Mountain District?"

Liu Jin nodded. "Here in Binhai, that’s really the only area suitable for building hospitals and medical research institutes."

He then turned his gaze to Yu Yopeng and said, "Mr. Yu, I’ve already made an appointment with Vice President Yu of Baining Hospital." ree

"Next week, he’ll bring a team to Binhai to discuss the establishment of the branch hospital with people from the municipal government."

"At that time, I will also sit down with Vice President Yu to properly discuss a collaboration!"

Yu Yopeng smiled. "Personally, I very much hope that Baining Hospital builds its branch in Binhai."

"From the looks of it, both of my children will be settling down in Binhai for the long term."

Liu Jin laughed heartily. "Mr. Yu, in just a few years, Su Ye will definitely become an expert-level doctor at our Affiliated Hospital."

"And your son, Yu Chuanbai, will very likely be the CEO of a publicly listed company by then."

"When that time comes, you and your wife should come live in Binhai too."

"Putting other things aside, at least when it comes to the climate, our Binhai is much better than Jingcheng."

Yu Yopeng looked at his son and daughter, his face full of hope, and said, "Mr. Liu, if in a few years, their careers truly develop as you say..."

"My wife and I will definitely move to Binhai to spend our retirement and help look after their children."

At this moment, Wang Chuan spoke up, "Feifan is the kind of man who works miracles, a truly unbelievable person."

"Trust him, support him, and follow his lead, and he won’t let anyone down."

Yu Yopeng agreed, "Dr. Wang, you’re absolutely right. Feifan has already proven this time and time again."

"Feifan..."

Yu Yopeng turned his gaze to Yan Feifan and said, "Before, because I didn’t know you well enough, I was quite opposed to your relationship with Su Ye."

"I want to apologize to you!"

This unexpected apology caught Yan Feifan completely off guard.

He quickly waved his hands and said, "Mr. Yu, there’s no need to apologize, really. You’re Su Ye’s father. It’s a perfectly normal reaction for a parent to object."

Liu Jin laughed. "Mr. Yu, apologizing to Feifan is a bit much. He’s right, parental opposition is just part of the process."

"You could say that a love without parental opposition isn’t a complete love story."

"I remember when my wife and I were dating, we had to do it in secret. My father-in-law even caught me and gave me a good beating several times."

"To this day, my father-in-law still says he went too easy on me back then."

This drew a round of soft laughter from everyone at the table.

Yu Suye, however, couldn’t quite laugh. Instead, her nose began to sting, and she felt the urge to cry.

Suddenly, she felt her left hand being held. She turned her head and met Yan Feifan’s concerned gaze.

At that moment, Yu Suye felt a warmth spread through her heart.

’Although Yan Feifan was a bit dense and often oblivious, he truly cared for her.’

’That alone was enough.’

Yu Suye gave him a sweet smile and squeezed his hand back with her left, signaling that she was fine...

Acting as Yan Feifan’s elders, Liu Jin and Wang Chuan played the part of the man’s family perfectly, being polite and accommodating.

Yu Yopeng also made a deliberate effort to grow closer, and the group at the table drank and chatted merrily, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

During the small talk, the conversation turned to the matter of Yan Feifan giving an injection to Mr. Zhang’s ex-wife.

Liu Jin asked with concern, "Are you rushing off to Su Province this afternoon?"

Yan Feifan replied softly, "No need. Mr. Zhang’s ex-wife will be coming to Binhai. The appointment is at three in the afternoon."

Liu Jin let out a soft "oh" and said, "This Zhang Run, I know a thing or two about him. He’s quite well-known for his research in traditional Chinese patent medicine."

"I hadn’t heard that he was researching anti-cancer drugs, though."

He chuckled again. "Feifan, this targeted, precision drug delivery is a major trend in modern therapy."

"It seems your unique skill in puncture injections has found another wide field of application."

Yan Feifan quickly shook his head. "That’s not what I want at all. I’m actually trying to get away from work related to puncture injections."

"I estimate that once the surgical robot is on the market, my workload will lighten considerably."

Liu Jin chuckled. "Most people, if they have one great skill, are happy to rely on it for their entire career, but you’re the opposite. If only everyone were as ambitious as you."

"I heard you’ve made a big move in cardiac surgery?"

Yan Feifan said with a humble expression, "It wasn’t anything major. I just worked with Mr. Liang, Dr. Gu, and the others to create a new surgical protocol for heart transplants."

"It can shorten the surgery time by two hours, but it requires two chief surgeons instead of one."

Yu Suye added, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Liang and the others have decided to name this dual-surgeon method after Feifan."

This immediately made Liu Jin excited.

’Yan Feifan’s tumor puncture injection technique, while life-saving, can’t be widely adopted. He’s the main beneficiary; he charges ten million, and no one can say a thing. But this dual-surgeon method that shortens surgery time by two hours... just from the sound of it, it was clearly something that could be widely promoted. The effect this would have on boosting the Affiliated Hospital’s reputation and rankings would be enormous.’

Liu Jin couldn’t help but exclaim with admiration, "Feifan, you never cease to bring us pleasant surprises."

"This..."

Liu Jin said thoughtfully, "Feifan, I’ll have Mrs. Chen talk to Mr. Liang. It would be best to frame this achievement as an official research project when you announce it."

"That way, you’ll get tangible benefits, and it will also make the hospital and the city’s annual R&D reports look much more impressive..."
