Overpowered Resident Doctor-Chapter 198 - 197: Fighting For You

At 6:30 PM, in the Western restaurant of the Jinxiu Grand Hotel.

On his second visit to this restaurant, Yan Feifan ordered the sirloin steak for himself.

Ouyang Yanran, who was treating him, ordered the pan-seared salmon.

Ouyang Yanran took a sip of ice water and asked casually, "Mr. Yan, your trip to Jingcheng was quite fruitful, wasn't it?"

Yan Feifan hummed in agreement. "According to the feedback so far, both patients are recovering as expected."

A faint smile touched Ouyang Yanran's lips. "Did Baining Medical Technology's surgical robot leave a deep impression on you?"

Yan Feifan nodded. "It was all right."

"According to Mr. Yu, their surgical robot is already ready for practical use."

"Really?" Ouyang Yanran was a little surprised.

Yan Feifan said softly, "I'm not sure if that's true or not."

"However, it did perform a demonstration for me—an intestinal foreign body removal. The quality of its work was acceptable."

"Ms. Ouyang…"

Ouyang Yanran smiled and corrected him. "Mr. Yan, please, just call me Yanran."

Yan Feifan readily accepted the suggestion. "Yanran, judging by your reaction, is Baiyulan Group's surgical robot development lagging behind Baining Medical Technology?"

Ouyang Yanran admitted, "From what I understand, our R&D progress is a bit behind."

"But not by too much."

She added, "The experimental surgical robot has already been built."

"Tonight, the robot will demonstrate some of its currently developed functions for you."

Yan Feifan let out a soft "oh." "Then I'll be looking forward to it…"

Just then, the waiter brought over their steak and salmon.

After a few elegant bites of fish, Ouyang Yanran spoke again.

Her voice was tinged with regret. "It looks like Zhiyin Beauty is going to be made an example of by the Affiliated Hospital. They won't get the chance to reopen."

"Does this affect your business much?" Yan Feifan asked.

Ouyang Yanran shook her head slightly. "It's just a small impact. Their demand for medical consumables wasn't that large."

Yan Feifan sounded puzzled. "I don't get it. Why would Zhiyin Beauty do something with such high risk and low reward?"

"From what I know, plenty of people went to Zhiyin Beauty for cosmetic procedures. Their profits should have been quite substantial."

Ouyang Yanran offered a hint, "Just because Mr. Tan was making a lot of money doesn't mean everyone else was."

"Also, the day-to-day affairs at Zhiyin were handled by his brother-in-law."

"The people in the other key positions were also Mr. Tan's family and relatives."

Ouyang Yanran analyzed the situation, "This time, Mr. Tan was likely sabotaged by the very relatives he trusted most."

Realization dawned on Yan Feifan.

"Mr. Yan, I believe that in the near future, you will also gather a team centered around yourself."

Ouyang Yanran suggested, "You should start vetting people now to build a pool of candidates for the future."

She emphasized, "Character should be the top priority!"

Yan Feifan replied politely, "Thank you for the advice."

"But with my personality, it's unlikely I'll leave the hospital to start my own business. At most, I'll need a relatively fixed surgical team."

Ouyang Yanran smiled. "Mr. Yan, from what I understand, you already have a six-million-yuan research project on your hands."

"Next, whether you cooperate with me or with Yu Youlian, collecting relevant surgical data from the hospital for R&D projects will be essential. That will be another project worth over a million."

"I'm certain that with your talent, Mr. Yan, there will be even more, even bigger R&D projects down the line…"

Ouyang Yanran took another bite of fish and continued, "Securing tens of millions in R&D funding a year won't be very difficult for you."

"With that much money, if you don't have someone managing it properly for you, things could get messy!"

Yan Feifan followed her line of thought and realized this was indeed something he needed to take seriously.

He felt a little relieved. 'My sister majored in finance, after all…'

At 7:10 PM, the two of them finished dinner.

As Yan Feifan got into Ouyang Yanran's BMW 740, a headache began to set in.

'It figures. Just my luck.'

Ouyang Yanran, a female driver, was at the wheel again.

'This is a nice car. Why doesn't she just hire a chauffeur?'

"Yanran, how many years have you been driving? How many accidents have you been in?"

Faced with Yan Feifan's rather rude question, Ouyang Yanran replied with a serious expression, "Fifteen years of driving experience. No accidents in the last three years."

This response put Yan Feifan's mind at ease considerably.

Still, he couldn't help but give a solemn warning, "Yanran, please focus on driving. No small talk, no answering calls."

"YES, SIR," Ouyang Yanran replied playfully.

"I'm serious," Yan Feifan stressed.

Ouyang Yanran quickly composed herself. With a solemn look, she checked her side mirrors and started the car…

After about ten minutes, the car was cruising smoothly on the overpass. Seeing that her driving skills were actually quite good, Yan Feifan's tense mood eased a little.

At the same time, he began to seriously consider a question.

'Should I learn how to drive?'

'Instead of being a nervous wreck in a woman's car, I should take control and just drive myself.'

After some thought, Yan Feifan made a decision.

'I'm going to learn to drive!'

'I should be in charge of my own safety…'

At 8:21 PM, Yan Feifan got out of the car in the underground parking garage of Baiyulan Mansion on High-tech Zone Century Avenue.

He then followed Ouyang Yanran into an elevator and went straight up to the thirty-seventh floor.

However, the two of them ran into trouble as soon as they stepped out of the elevator.

When they tried to pass through a reinforced glass door with an automatic lock that required authorization, the person in charge flatly refused to open it.

Just as an angry Ouyang Yanran was taking out her phone to make a call, a young man of about thirty appeared on the other side of the glass door.

He was about five feet nine inches tall, with a neat short haircut. He wore a sharp suit, and his leather shoes were polished to a mirror shine.

Over his suit, he wore a white lab coat, the kind a researcher would wear.

Seeing this person, Ouyang Yanran put away her phone and watched with an angry expression as he opened the glass door and walked out.

"Lin Zuo, was it you who wouldn't let me in?"

The young man called Lin Zuo gave a faint smile and said, "Fourth Aunt, the surgical robot R&D project has never had anything to do with you, has it?"

"Why the sudden interest in bringing someone for a tour?"

As he spoke, Lin Zuo deliberately sized up Yan Feifan.

Ouyang Yanran snorted. "As a member of the Baiyulan Group, I naturally have a responsibility to be concerned about this project's progress."

"After all, the Group has invested a huge amount of R&D funds into this project, but its progress has been consistently underwhelming."

She pointed at Yan Feifan and introduced him, "This is Mr. Yan Feifan from the Affiliated Hospital. He has developed an excellent surgical procedure that is perfectly suited for application in the surgical robot project."

Lin Zuo sized up Yan Feifan again, then turned his gaze back to Ouyang Yanran.

"Fourth Aunt, you don't need to worry about the application plan for the surgical robot. I've already found a very suitable direction for it."

After a pause, Lin Zuo added with a warning tone, "Fourth Aunt, as far as I know, the sales performance in the Binhai region you're in charge of has been on a steady decline for the past two years."

"You should manage your own turf and not overreach…"

Having said this, Lin Zuo turned and went back through the glass door.

The sound of the glass door locking automatically echoed clearly in Yan Feifan's and Ouyang Yanran's ears.

Ouyang Yanran was so furious she was grinding her teeth, her chest heaving violently.

But after a moment, a look of defeat washed over her face. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Mr. Yan, you should just cooperate with Baining Medical Technology…"

Ouyang Yanran added, "I will do my best to coordinate and help you negotiate for better terms…"
