Overpowered Resident Doctor-Chapter 173 - 172: Waiting for the Highest Bidder

Due to the unexpected complication of a vascular malformation, the surgery, originally scheduled to end at 2:30 PM, was delayed until 3:00 PM.

Yan Feifan hadn't expected to act as Mr. Lo's surgical assistant, helping him remove the tumor for the entire duration.

As a result, his preparations had been somewhat insufficient.

Just as Mr. Lo finished dissecting the entire tumor and was about to instruct Wan Wei and Yan Feifan to handle the closing procedures, he saw that guy Yan Feifan dash away from the operating table without a word.

Noticing Yan Feifan running out of the operating room with his legs pressed together in a quick trot, Lo Jun just shook his head and chuckled.

"That little rascal..."

Yan Feifan thoroughly relieved himself and felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

He quickly washed up, and when he came out of the restroom, he was surprised to see Director Wang Chuan in the locker room.

"Director, were you looking for me?"

Wang Chuan nodded and said with a slight smile, "This morning, I had a guy come in for a plastic surgery consultation."

"After asking a few questions, I found out that you created a dimple for a girl a while back..."

Yan Feifan finished his sentence, "Her name is Chen Lingxin, a student at Binhai Film and Television Academy."

Wang Chuan smiled. "This person saw Chen Lingxin's dimple and was so amazed that he came looking for us specifically."

Yan Feifan was a little confused. "Shouldn't he have come looking for me?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Wang Chuan laughed heartily. "I'm your mentor. The man figured if you're so skilled, then I, your mentor, must be even more incredible."

He then added with a hint of wistful envy, "I never thought I'd be riding your coattails so soon."

At this, a smile returned to Wang Chuan's face. "Feifan, the faster and greater your progress, the more pleased I am."

"Anyway, I was waiting for you for another reason."

"Ouyang Yanran came to see you last night, didn't she?"

Yan Feifan grunted in affirmation. "Yes, she did."

"Director, I was actually about to ask you about that."

"I'm quite interested in this collaboration to develop an application for performing piercing injections with a surgical robot."

"I just don't know if this Ouyang Yanran is reliable."

"And how capable is the Baiyulan Group behind her when it comes to R&D for surgical robots?"

Wang Chuan explained in a low voice, "Objectively speaking, Ouyang Yanran is a pretty good business partner."

"As for Baiyulan Group, it's one of the top companies in Binhai for the production, sales, and R&D of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and medical consumables."

"The group is very powerful, but I'm not too clear on how much they've invested in or how capable they are at surgical robot R&D."

Wang Chuan then added a hint, "In the observation gallery today, besides the two neurosurgeons from the Yu Family of Jingcheng, there was also the head of a medical technology company."

"Perhaps she was also here to collaborate with you."

He reminded him, "Competition makes things easier. You can wait for the highest bidder."

Wang Chuan added, "If the offers from both sides are similar, I suggest you prioritize Ouyang Yanran."

"I'm also well-acquainted with her."

Yan Feifan nodded lightly. "Director, I understand..."

After changing, Yan Feifan left the locker room with Wang Chuan, only to see Zheng Ling, Yu Suye, and a group of three men and one woman waiting outside.

"Mr. Yan, let me make some introductions!"

Zheng Ling played the role of introducer and gave a brief introduction of the three unfamiliar men and one woman.

Yu Youbin, Deputy Director of Neurosurgery and Chief Physician at Baining Hospital.

Yu Nanxing, an Attending Physician in Neurosurgery at Baining Hospital.

The other two, a tall and sturdy man and woman who clearly looked like family, were Zhou Lang and Zhou Qing—the son and daughter of the patient Yan Feifan had performed freelance surgery on that Sunday.

"Mr. Yu, Dr. Yu, hello!" Yan Feifan greeted them politely.

He had to admit, the Yu Family had some rather good genes.

The uncle and nephew pair, Yu Youbin and Yu Nanxing, while perhaps not as strikingly peerless in appearance as Yu Suye was among women, were still masculine, sharp, and handsome.

"Mr. Yan, hello!"

Yu Youbin replied coolly, then added a quiet compliment, "You're good. Very good."

He sighed again. "All the members of our Yu Family's younger generation, even if you combined them all, wouldn't be a match for you alone."

"I just don't know if there's a problem with our Yu Family's upbringing, or if this generation is just indulging in pleasure and no longer working hard, or if they've all just gotten dumber."

Standing to the side, Yu Nanxing's face flushed bright red as he retorted indignantly, "Uncle, how can you say we don't work hard?"

"Which one of us isn't burning the midnight oil constantly?"

Yu Nanxing looked at Yan Feifan, opened his mouth, then said, somewhat deflated, "It's just that sometimes, hard work can't make up for a difference in talent."

As soon as he said this, an angry expression appeared on Yu Youbin's face.

"You're admitting defeat already?"

"When we were on our way here, weren't you swearing up and down that he was nothing special, that you were confident you could challenge him?"

"You can be less skilled than someone, but you can't lose your fighting spirit."

"You're infuriating me..."

As he said this, Yu Youbin started rolling up his sleeves as if he was about to hit someone.

Seeing this, Yu Nanxing quickly ducked behind Yu Suye, yelling, "Uncle, Uncle, you can't even compare to him yourse—"

He was halfway through his sentence when Yu Suye stomped hard on his foot, forcing him to swallow the rest of his words.

However, the half-sentence that escaped was enough to make everyone present feel awkward.

Especially Yu Youbin; the look he shot at Yu Nanxing could have killed.

Wang Chuan chuckled lightly and said, "Feifan is a genius, a prodigy. He has an astonishingly meticulous grasp of human anatomy, and his hands have mastered the trinity of steadiness, precision, and decisiveness."

"However, due to his lack of knowledge and experience, there are many things he is incapable of."

Zheng Ling also chimed in, "The Yu Family's method of education is renowned in our field. It's just that geniuses are born, not made."

"And Mr. Yan is just such a medical genius."

Yu Youbin's expression softened as well. "Indeed. Talent and special skills can allow a person to excel in certain areas, reaching a level others can hardly hope to attain."

Still feeling his face flush with embarrassment, he quickly gestured to the Zhou siblings next to him and said, "Mr. Yan, they are concerned about their father's condition and came here specifically to speak with you."

"Mr. Yan..."

The hulking Zhou Lang bowed slightly. "My father is quite philosophical about these things. He often says that life and death are a matter of fate."

"He doesn't want to suffer, paralyzed in a bed. He's actually always been resistant to surgical treatment, but he couldn't hold out against our pleading."

"That's also why he was willing to take a risk and accept your treatment method, Mr. Yan."

"Because your method could let him stand up again..."

Yan Feifan interrupted, "It's *possible* he'll stand up again."

"If his recovery goes well, he can stand again, but I can't guarantee it will happen."

Zhou Lang nodded. "A possibility is worth the risk..."

He bowed even lower and pleaded, "Please, Mr. Yan, I'm begging you to do everything in your power to help my father stand up again."

Yan Feifan stated firmly, "You don't need to ask. Since I've taken this case, I will naturally do my very best..."

Just then, Yan Feifan saw Ouyang Yanran appear in the hallway, accompanied by a beautiful woman who bore a slight resemblance to Yu Suye.

Smiling enchantingly, the two of them walked gracefully toward the group...
