Overpowered Resident Doctor

Chapter 531: Chapter 530: Things Never Go According to Plan

Zhuo Xingfa’s phalloplasty began at nine in the morning and lasted until nearly six in the evening, taking almost nine hours.

Although Yan Feifan led the operation, it was a joint effort with Chen Yu and Yu Suye.

Given that Dr. Chen Yu would be leading similar surgeries in the future, Yan Feifan deliberately let him handle some of the procedures during this operation.

As a result, he had several opportunities to rest during the surgery.

After the surgery ended, Yan Feifan was exhausted, but he was still in relatively good shape, both physically and mentally.

However, when he arrived at the family waiting area, he was surprised to find Mr. Qee Sheng there as well.

Qee Xiaodan, who was by his side, was as meek as a little bunny.

Enduring Mr. Qi’s sharp gaze, Yan Feifan gave Zhuo Xingfa’s family a brief update and then quickly slipped away.

Besides, he had Ms. Qin Ying to run interference for him on this matter.

Fleeing the trauma surgery department, Yan Feifan made his way to the plastic surgery center.

In the director’s office, he met Wang Chuan and President Liu Jin.

"Feifan..."

Wang Chuan handed him a stamped document. "The test results for that scar-removing beauty cream you brought in are back."

"It’s one hundred percent our product."

Wang Chuan shook his head and chuckled. "We’ve had similar situations before, but at least those guys bothered to add some other ingredients."

"This counterfeiter really took a shortcut, just repackaging our product in a fancier bottle."

Yan Feifan also chuckled. "Mr. Wang, by just changing the bottle, they’ve taken our product that sells for four or five hundred and priced it at seven or eight thousand, even over ten thousand."

Wang Chuan sighed softly. "This cosmetics market is a total mess."

"Feifan, I’ll be honest with you..."

"Our scar cream sells quite well in pharmacies, but I estimate..."

"...that at least half, maybe even three-fifths, is being bought up by people with ulterior motives."

"Then they dilute it, add other things, and rebrand it as some viral product or something sold by micro-merchants."

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but ask, "Can’t we control it at the source?"

Wang Chuan shook his head. "It’s very difficult."

"Those local pharmacies that sell directly to consumers don’t care. They’d be thrilled if you bought it by the case."

"After all, it’s not like the stuff can kill anyone."

’Although the stuff wouldn’t kill you, long-term use would cause an excessive buildup of hormones in the body. That could stimulate certain glands to over-secrete, raising the risk of inducing various growth-related diseases, and even cancer.’

’In reality, some legitimate cosmetics also contain hormonal ingredients or other substances that aren’t particularly good for you. The amounts are just small and within the nationally permitted standards.’

’But that doesn’t account for daily use...’

Yan Feifan decided to persuade the two women back home to use fewer cosmetics, or none at all.

Not only would it save money, but it would be healthier for them too.

Wang Chuan paused for a moment before continuing, "Regarding Ya Jiaojiao, I’ve already told her the test results on your behalf."

"She said she’s going to team up with her friends from the online group to hold the counterfeiter accountable through official channels."

"Also..."

Wang Chuan said with a hint of pride, "This morning, we sent out all the invitations for the full-face plastic surgery observation. They included Ya Jiaojiao’s facial examination data and your surgical design plan."

"And today, I even made over a dozen phone calls."

"Those guys all said they’ll definitely be here next Friday to have a good ’friendly exchange’ with you."

When Yan Feifan heard Mr. Wang use the term "friendly exchange," he knew the man must have said something on the phone to rile them up.

However, Yan Feifan didn’t care.

If you’ve got the skills to pay the bills, you’re not afraid of any challenge they throw at you.

Yan Feifan turned his gaze to President Liu Jin, who had been quiet the whole time, and took the initiative to ask, "Teacher, is there bad news?"

"Is it about my professional title? Did it not get approved?"

Liu Jin nodded and sighed softly. "Feifan, you guessed right."

"It wasn’t approved at this morning’s staff meeting!"

After confirming, Liu Jin explained, "The others... they were actually acting out of a desire to protect you. It wasn’t approved because they aren’t fully aware of your capabilities."

"Their idea is to have you build an incredibly solid foundation so that you can reach even greater heights in the future."

Although Yan Feifan was a little disappointed by this result, he didn’t dwell on it.

"Teacher, I understand."

"If I can’t get an exception, then I’ll just climb the ladder one step at a time. Besides, the rank of my professional title doesn’t mean much to me anyway."

Liu Jin nodded in satisfaction and praised him, "Feifan, it’s good that you can think that way. You haven’t disappointed me."

"You have more than enough skill to steamroll your way to Chief Physician."

After a pause, Liu Jin added, "Although we couldn’t make an exception for you, we did unanimously decide to waive the work-experience requirement for your future title evaluations."

"As long as you meet the other hard requirements, your path to promotion will be wide open."

"So, you should pay more attention to publishing papers and mastering the required representative surgeries..."

Yan Feifan grunted in agreement. Then he heard Liu Jin say, "Oh, right. For your residency rotation, you’re still missing two important departments: pediatrics and gynecology."

"Find some time to complete your training in those two departments."

Feeling a headache coming on, Yan Feifan gave a noncommittal grunt.

Liu Jin didn’t notice his evasiveness and changed the subject. "Feifan, there’s one more thing..."

"Regarding the assault on you, the police report is out. The Disciplinary Committee has accepted it, and the parents of the other party haven’t raised any objections."

"Because the perpetrators are minors, the next step is a settlement."

Liu Jin offered another piece of advice. "Feifan, that deputy director has run into some trouble these past couple of days. It’ll be hard for him to get out of this unscathed. At the very least, he won’t be able to keep his post."

"That being the case, you shouldn’t press the matter."

"Settle it quickly and let the Disciplinary Committee play the bad guy."

Yan Feifan nodded, then looked at Wang Chuan and said, "Mr. Wang, let Mr. Jiang represent me in the negotiations."

"We won’t ask for an arm and a leg, but they should at least have to pay for your beloved handmade Italian calfskin sofa."

As he said this, Yan Feifan bounced pointedly on the new sofa beneath him and said with disappointment, "It’s really not as comfortable as the original."

Wang Chuan mimicked Yan Feifan’s expression, rolled his eyes, and showed no interest in engaging with him on the topic.

Yan Feifan pressed, "Mr. Wang, did you throw the old sofa out? It probably could have been repaired and still be usable!"

Wang Chuan shot him a glare. "It was dismembered by that gang of young nurses."

"They each took a piece of the calfskin, saying they were going to have custom handbags, wallets, and whatnot made."

Yan Feifan had certainly never imagined such a fate for the old sofa...

The three of them chatted casually for a few more minutes. Estimating that Yu Suye had probably finished up with Zhuo Xingfa’s post-operative care, Yan Feifan said his goodbyes and left.

Because of his preparations for today’s surgery, Yan Feifan had a backlog of several surgical plans he hadn’t even started on yet.

Tonight, he would have to drag his exhausted body back to work overtime.

But plans rarely survive contact with reality.

Yan Feifan had just picked up Yu Suye, and they hadn’t even reached the south gate of the Affiliated Hospital when he got another call from Liu Jin.

"Feifan, are you up for another surgery?"

Yan Feifan quickly assessed his physical and mental condition and replied, "Teacher, I can still handle a five or six-hour operation."

"Good. Get back here right away."

"There was a lab accident in the orthopedics department. The deputy director, Dr. Gon, severed his thumb with a bone saw."

"As for the thumb reimplantation, Mr. Chen said you’ve already surpassed your master..."
