Overpowered Resident Doctor

Chapter 609: Chapter 608: Bestowal of Honor

That morning, Yan Feifan opened his eyes. Sensing something, he turned his head.

He was met by a pair of eyes curved like crescent moons, which gave him a seductive wink.

Yan Feifan sat up in bed.

He saw Yu Suye, dressed in light pajamas, leaning over the side of the bed. With her chin in her hands, she was staring straight at him with a completely infatuated expression.

"Are your hormones raging or something?"

Yu Suye sat up and joined him on the edge of the bed, chuckling. "You’re so handsome when you sleep. The more I watch you, the more I fall for you."

Yan Feifan glanced at the clock on the nightstand.

6:01 AM.

He let out a small yawn and asked, "What are you doing here so early? Don’t tell me your Mrs. Lian is a restless sleeper too?"

Yu Suye giggled. "My aunt did wake me up, but not because she was tossing and turning."

"She was already up, ready, and gone. Said she was worried about the surgical robot’s calibration and wanted to go check on it herself."

Yan Feifan murmured an "oh." "It’s not easy being a career woman, having to head out for work this early."

He got out of bed and asked, "Have you gotten ready yet?"

"Together?"

"Yeah, sure!"

Yu Suye agreed enthusiastically, then suggested with a blush, "Let’s use the bathroom in the attic, so we don’t bother Mrs. Du and your sister..."

Since they were getting ready together, it took a little longer than usual. It wasn’t until after seven-thirty that Yan Feifan finally came down from the attic.

Yan Ziruo was also up, busy helping Mrs. Du in the kitchen.

Hearing the footsteps on the stairs, she poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted, "Feifan, tell your woman..."

"...to come eat breakfast first! She can get all dolled up after we eat!"

Although Yan Feifan had two high-profile surgeries scheduled for the day, he was only responsible for the puncture and injection portions. The procedure was relatively short, so he didn’t need the special high-sugar, high-calorie breakfast he usually had before a long operation.

After a normal family breakfast, they all went to Yan Feifan’s bedroom.

"Feifan, you’re wearing this today!"

Seeing that his sister had picked out a formal suit and dress shoes, Yan Feifan shook his head. "Sis, it’s too hot for that. Besides, they’re here to watch me operate, not attend a gala. I don’t need to be so formal."

"Sneakers, track pants, and a T-shirt are fine, just like any other day."

Yan Ziruo immediately shot him down. "Absolutely not!"

"Feifan, there are nearly two hundred prominent, renowned doctors from all over the country coming today! I even heard there’s an academician attending."

"There will also be leaders from the Health Commission, the Chinese Medical Association, and Binhai University Medical College, not to mention the heads of our own hospital."

"All these people are coming specifically for you."

"Feifan, dressing up a little, making it a bit more formal—it shows respect for them, and for yourself."

Yan Feifan surrendered. "Alright, Sis, you’ve made your point. I’ll do as you say..."

With help from his sister and Su Ye, he put on the sharp suit and dress shoes.

It had to be said, with his height and slender build, Yan Feifan could easily pass for a model.

Dressed in the expensive, well-tailored suit, Yan Feifan instantly looked sharper and even more handsome.

The sight made Yan Ziruo and Yu Suye nod in approval again and again.

Next, Yan Ziruo and Yu Suye returned to their respective rooms to get dressed and ready themselves.

While he waited, Yan Feifan made a phone call to Dr. Hakeman’s widow.

He had obtained her number through Zhong Xinyi in the United States.

The call connected quickly. After confirming her identity, Yan Feifan briefly introduced himself and offered his condolences.

During the call, Yan Feifan recounted his brief interaction with Dr. Hakeman and shared some words of praise for him.

At the end of the call, he politely offered his help, telling her not to hesitate to ask if there was anything she needed.

She thanked Yan Feifan for his call and his kind words...

All in all, Yan Feifan felt that the nearly five-minute call had gone quite well. He had done what was necessary.

After hanging up, he waited for another ten minutes or so. Just as he was about to urge them to hurry, he heard footsteps from the attic and the sound of his sister’s bedroom door opening.

"What’s taking you two so long today..."

His words died in his throat the moment he saw Yu Suye and his sister.

Yu Suye descended from the attic in a knee-length black dress and high heels. Her long hair was swept into a bun, revealing her slender neck and the delicate shell of her ear.

She wore a pearl necklace and a matching set of pearl drop earrings.

More importantly, Yu Suye had also put on makeup: foundation, lipstick, and eyeliner.

This made the already radiant Yu Suye look even more glamorous.

As for his sister, she was wearing a red cocktail dress, accessorized with a jadeite bracelet and pendant.

She too was wearing more noticeable makeup than usual.

"What is all this?"

Yan Feifan frowned. "You don’t look like you’re going to work at the hospital. You look like you’re heading to a gala."

Yu Suye and Yan Ziruo linked their arms through his, one on each side. They giggled, "Today’s a big day for you. We can’t let you down, can we?"

"So, Feifan, just tell us. Do we look good? Aren’t we pretty?"

Yan Feifan scoffed lightly. "You look good, you look good. But what are you two getting all worked up about?"

"Dressed like this, how are you supposed to get any work done?"

Yan Ziruo and Yu Suye exchanged a look and huffed, "You don’t need to worry about how we’ll manage our work."

"It’s getting late. Time to go..."

With that, the two of them dragged Yan Feifan out the door.

Instead of driving her own Beetle, Yan Ziruo rode with her brother and Yu Suye in the Cayenne driven by Feng Jian, heading for the Affiliated Hospital.

At 8:10 AM, Yan Feifan arrived in front of the main academic building and was taken aback by the sight that greeted him.

In the small plaza in front of the building, a stage covered with a red carpet had been set up, in addition to an exhibition hall that had yet to be opened.

The national flag, the Party flag, and a military flag were displayed on the stage.

What surprised Yan Feifan even more was a military band of twenty or thirty people on one side of the stage, tuning their instruments and preparing to play.

"Sis, Su Ye, does the hospital have some other event going on today?"

Yan Ziruo smiled mysteriously. "There is, Feifan. And it has to do with you."

"Come with me..."

His sister pulled him into the building’s first-floor lobby, where he was shocked to find the space already packed with people.

His gaze swept the room, and he spotted hospital leaders like Liu Jin, Hou Jianfeng, and Chen Changrui, as well as his mentors and senior colleagues, including Wang Chuan, Qin Ying, Chen Yu, Lo Jun, Qee Sheng, and Miao Quan.

He saw friends and family: his uncle, Mrs. Xia, Mr. Tian, Tian Yu, Song Yi, and Xiao Man.

He also spotted Yu Youlian, Ouyang Yanran, Luo Jianjun and his wife Hu Ling from Luo’s Private Kitchen, as well as Pan Lirong, Yue Wangdao, and Ma Hongchen of the Jinxiu Grand Hotel.

In addition to them, Yan Feifan noticed many unfamiliar faces in the lobby.

While Yan Feifan was still taking it all in, a smattering of applause broke out in the lobby, quickly swelling into a thunderous ovation.

Yan Feifan was completely bewildered.

’It’s just a surgical observation seminar. Is all this fanfare really necessary?’

Liu Jin, who was among those applauding, strode over to Yan Feifan, his face flushed with excitement. "Feifan, in a moment, they’re going to hold two award ceremonies for you."

"One is from our Binhai Public Security Department. They’re awarding you a Second-Class Merit to recognize your contributions."

"The other... is a First-Class Merit from the military..."
