Overpowered Resident Doctor

Chapter 580: Chapter 579: I’m Just a Nurse

"You want to learn how to perform ankyloglossia correction surgery from my uncle, Yu Youyi?"

On the way back to Zuimo Court after work, Yan Feifan mentioned his plan, only to see a troubled look on Yu Suye’s face.

He asked directly, "Is it inconvenient?"

"Or is there some other unspoken issue?"

Yu Suye said frankly, "Feifan, this uncle of mine is notoriously difficult to deal with."

"More importantly, he was very close to my late cousin’s side of the family. If I’m the one to ask, it might backfire."

Yan Feifan let out a sound of understanding. Then he heard Yu Suye continue, "But nothing is set in stone. Feifan, you’re not just anyone these days. It’s possible he’ll be happy to agree."

"Still, it would be best to have Mr. Hai, the Vice President, handle the communication."

Yan Feifan waved his hand. "Then let’s forget it. I don’t want to force someone to guide me if they’re unwilling."

"The attending physicians in our Affiliated Hospital’s Department of Stomatology are also quite skilled."

Yan Feifan added confidently, "For me, all I need is their surgical experience with ankyloglossia correction."

"The specific operational techniques are irrelevant."

Yu Suye sighed softly. "Even though we all share the surname Yu, we’re divided into several small cliques within the hospital for various reasons."

"Let’s just say the way they’re at odds with each other, even openly hostile, would boggle your mind."

Yan Feifan chuckled softly. "I can imagine. A large family like yours, with generations of love, hate, and grudges built up over financial disputes and other issues... there must be plenty of drama."

Yu Suye lamented, "Yes, exactly. We’re supposed to be one family, but in my opinion, some of our relationships are worse than those between strangers."

"If it weren’t for the vast profits from the ancestral estate holding us together, the Yu Family would have probably fallen apart long ago..."

Back at home, not long after dinner, Yan Feifan received an unexpected call from Pan Lirong.

"Mr. Yan, sorry to disturb you. Mr. Cao would like to have a word with you. Is now a good time?"

’Mr. Cao? That must be the grandfather of the boy who died in the new-energy vehicle accident at Phoenix Mountain Villa.’

At this thought, Yan Feifan, who was sketching a cutaway view of an intraspinal tumor, put down his charcoal pencil.

"I can spare a few minutes."

The moment Yan Feifan finished speaking, a slightly hoarse male voice came through the phone.

"Mr. Yan, this is Cao Jizheng. Thank you, and your colleagues and friends, for stepping up during that accident."

Yan Feifan replied politely, "Mr. Cao, there’s no need to thank us. It was our undeniable duty."

Cao Jizheng’s voice continued, "Mr. Yan, I’ve already learned that the moment the driver’s family signed a secret agreement with the vehicle manufacturer, they immediately reached a settlement with your hospital."

"I also know that the manufacturer is donating a substantial amount of money to the Affiliated Hospital."

"Mr. Yan, I want to ask, was that accident caused by a problem with the vehicle?"

Well...

Taking their money meant he couldn’t speak freely. The manufacturer’s generous fifty-million-yuan donation to Yan Feifan wasn’t for nothing—it was meant to buy his silence.

Yan Feifan’s silence was telling, and Cao Jizheng’s voice came through the phone again.

"Mr. Yan, your silence tells me everything I need to know. Mr. Yan, thank you again."

Yan Feifan spoke up. "Mr. Cao, we had a theory. But just as we were preparing to investigate further, the deceased’s body was suddenly cremated, and everything came to a screeching halt."

"Without any evidence, I can’t just make baseless claims."

Yan Feifan then said bluntly, "Mr. Cao, even if our theory was correct, it was a minor issue that interacted with the driver’s specific physical condition, resulting in an extremely low-probability event."

"All one can say is that it was an accident nobody wanted to happen."

Cao Jizheng’s tone over the phone was flat as he said, "Mr. Yan, I understand. Every accident is the result of many unexpected events and oversights, all linked together by sheer coincidence."

"If that day, I had taken the two children out as originally planned, instead of changing my mind at the last minute..."

"Sigh..."

Cao Jizheng let out a long sigh. "Mr. Yan, I’ve taken up your time. That’s all..."

After the heavy phone call ended, Yan Feifan also sighed, picked up his charcoal pencil, and continued his work...

「After eight in the evening」

Having assisted Dr. Kevin Vega with a brain tumor surgery in the Little Red House and finished all the follow-up work, the trio of Xv Fang, Meng Yao, and Ye Lin were completely exhausted.

Ye Lin, in particular, was so tired and hungry she felt like her legs didn’t belong to her, and she swayed as she walked.

Looking at the elevator a dozen or so steps away, Ye Lin felt as if it were a thousand meters away.

"Dr. Xv, Mrs. Meng, I can’t... I can’t go on. I’m going to die. I need to rest, I need to eat."

As she spoke, a whimper crept into Ye Lin’s voice.

Seeing the girl start to wobble, Meng Yao quickly reached out to support her and said to Xv Fang, "Ye Lin really can’t take it anymore. She needs to rest."

Her eyes lit up. "Let’s go to the Boss’s office."

Xv Fang had been to Yan Feifan’s office before.

So, he and Meng Yao supported Ye Lin on either side, got into the elevator, went to the ninth floor, and used the passcode to open Yan Feifan’s office.

The two of them placed Ye Lin on the sofa in the inner room, took some food and drinks out of the refrigerator, and fed her a little.

Afterward, the two of them also collapsed onto the sofa.

Xv Fang and Meng Yao were also dog-tired, just a bit better at enduring it than Ye Lin.

After resting for about fifteen minutes, the three of them finally started to recover.

Ye Lin unwrapped a piece of dark chocolate, took a big bite, and then a sip of milk before defending herself, "I worked for eleven or twelve hours straight. The fact that I didn’t black out and collapse like the Boss is already pretty good."

Meng Yao sat up a little straighter. "There’s no comparison at all. The Boss maintains a high-intensity output of physical and mental energy for six or seven hours straight."

"You can walk around in the operating room, let your mind wander, and even leave to use the restroom or get something to eat."

"Simply put, you’re just not fit enough."

Ye Lin giggled, looking around the room. "The Boss’s office is still too small. It doesn’t suit his status."

"At the Affiliated Hospital, just having your own private office is a big deal."

As Meng Yao spoke, she pulled out her phone to check her messages and saw the work schedule for the next day.

"Ye Lin, tomorrow at nine, the Boss has a six-hour surgery in the top-floor operating room."

Ye Lin let out a wail first, then asked excitedly, "The top-floor operating room? Mrs. Meng, take a guess, which big celebrity will it be?"

"We’ll find out tomorrow. Who has the energy to play guessing games?"

Meng Yao replied listlessly, glanced at Xv Fang, who was still sprawled out on the couch, and then said to Ye Lin, "You need to start working out. Don’t just go out and have fun on your days off."

"Haven’t you noticed? As the Boss recovers, the surgeries he’s taking on are getting more and more complex, and they’re taking longer and longer."

Ye Lin said nonchalantly, "Mrs. Meng, I’m in great shape. I just covered someone’s shift a couple of days ago and haven’t bounced back yet."

Then she suggested, "Let’s order some takeout, shall we? My treat."

Xv Fang finally moved a little. "Is it really a good idea to eat in here?"

"If Mr. Yan finds out, he’ll be angry."

Ye Lin just waved her hand dismissively. "It’s fine. The Boss might seem a bit cold, but he’s actually really easygoing and approachable."

"Of course..."

She added, "We have to clean this place up before we leave."

Just then, Meng Yao’s phone rang.

It was a call from her husband.

"Honey..."

"What? A car accident... a relative of your boss...?"

After listening to her husband’s story on the phone, Meng Yao was absolutely furious.

"Didn’t I tell you not to go around showing off and bragging?"

"At this hour, you want to ask Mr. Yan to come and operate on a relative of your boss?"

"I’m just a nurse. Do you really think I have that much pull?"
