Overpowered Resident Doctor

Just a moment after Yan Feifan hung up, the other person relentlessly called again.

This time, Yan Feifan rejected the call outright and added the number to his block list.

Yu Suye watched Yan Feifan carefully wipe his phone with a tissue and asked with a grin, "Feifan, he's the director's son. Aren't you worried he'll find someone to make your life difficult?"

Yan Feifan scoffed. "Even the director himself can't interfere with a doctor's work."

He added with a proud look, "I make a living with my own skills. I'm not afraid of anyone trying to cause trouble for me."

Ye Lin chimed in righteously, "Exactly! With Mr. Yan's abilities, he could go anywhere."

"It might be an exaggeration, but if all the medical staff in the hospital had to vote on whether to keep the director or Mr. Yan... ninety-nine percent would vote for Mr. Yan to stay."

Meng Yao said softly, "I've heard a few things about the director's son, Cheng Lezhi."

"They say he's the son of the director and his ex-wife, and she was the one who raised him."

"His reputation isn't great. Apparently, he's sort of a thug."

"Mr. Yan, you should be careful around someone like that."

Now that Meng Yao mentioned it, Yan Feifan actually started to get a little worried.

After all, prominent figures would weigh the pros and cons and act with caution, but a petty thug only cares about saving face and getting immediate satisfaction.

If a thug beat him up, he'd be the one suffering, even if the guy got his due punishment afterward.

He said with a serious expression, "I'll be careful."

"My life is basically a straight line between home and the hospital. I don't really go anywhere else."

Yu Suye could tell Yan Feifan was a little spooked, and she was secretly amused.

She quickly offered, "Feifan, let's commute to and from work together. If something happens, I'll protect you."

Yan Feifan said without a hint of hesitation, "Su Ye, I'm putting my safety in your hands, then..."

About ten minutes later, Yan Feifan went downstairs to open the door and was greeted by two uninvited guests.

One was Ouyang Yanran. The other... was Lu Yao.

"Mr. Yan, happy birthday!"

"Thank you!"

Yan Feifan accepted the gift box from Ouyang Yanran, thanked her, and then looked at Lu Yao, who was standing to the side with his eyes darting around.

"Yanran, you and this... Lu Yao?"

"We have a partnership with Kaiyuan Biology. I happened to mention you, and Mr. Lu said he was a friend of yours..."

Ouyang Yanran could see the situation was a bit complicated and said apologetically, "Mr. Yan, I'm sorry to drop in unannounced. I should have called first."

"It's all right. We do know each other."

Yan Feifan offered this explanation, then looked at Lu Yao and said, "Su Ye is on the terrace upstairs. You can go right on up."

Watching the guy bound up to the attic in just a few quick strides, Yan Feifan thought, 'Su Ye must have gone easy on his foot.'

He turned his gaze back to Ouyang Yanran and said, a little sheepishly, "Yanran, about the partnership..."

Ouyang Yanran gave a faint smile. "It's perfectly normal for a partnership to fall through. Baining Group is, admittedly, quite a bit stronger than we are."

The smile on her face widened slightly. "Besides, I still got what I wanted."

"You joined the surgical robotics project?" Yan Feifan asked.

Ouyang Yanran shook her head. "They have an iron grip on that and refused to yield. I just secured the Binhai sales rights for the pharmaceuticals produced by the group."

"That's still a significant victory."

"Congratulations!"

Yan Feifan led Ouyang Yanran up to the terrace, where he saw Lu Yao cozying up to Yu Chuanbai, helping him grill oysters.

Yu Suye came over to greet them warmly. "Ms. Ouyang, welcome! Please, have a seat."p>

"We have grilled beef and lamb, chicken wings, swimming crabs, scallops, and abalone. Would you like a little of everything?"

"I'm watching what I eat, so just a few scallops will be fine."

Ouyang Yanran replied, and she and Yan Feifan sat down at an empty table by the terrace railing.

She looked out at the residential complex and the Binhai University campus in the distance, chuckling softly. "This really is a nice place."

"The apartments here are worth the price."

Yan Feifan said quietly, "It's just a place to live. Once you've been here for a while, the feeling fades."

He added, "The neighborly relations here are quite distant."

Ouyang Yanran smiled faintly. "Distant relationships are a good thing for you, aren't they? You're a doctor. If everyone came to you for medical advice, you'd be pestered to death."

Just then, Yu Suye brought Ouyang Yanran a plate with a few scallops and a bottle of water.

She then brought over Yan Feifan's plate, adding a few freshly grilled abalones to it.

Ouyang Yanran commented admiringly, "Mr. Yan, your girlfriend is wonderful. She's very attentive."

"Su Ye isn't my girlfriend."

Yan Feifan denied it flatly, then explained, "A pipe burst in her apartment, and it was too noisy, so she's renting a room here for now."

"And that guy, Lu Yao, is the boyfriend her family picked out for her. Su Ye has always been against it, though."

Hearing this, Ouyang Yanran realized that bringing Lu Yao here had been far too thoughtless.

She quickly changed the subject. "I contacted Dr. Tan Yerong over the past couple of days. He's planning to sell Zhiyin Beauty."

"Are you interested, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Feifan quickly demurred. "Yanran, my main focus right now is on my studies and gaining experience. Besides, being a plastic surgeon isn't my aspiration."

Ouyang Yanran smiled. "I know. The reason Mr. Wang is investing so much in your training is for Yanyan's sake."

"I'm not suggesting you come work part-time at Zhiyin Beauty."

"What I mean is, would you be interested in partnering up to take over Zhiyin Beauty? We could be the behind-the-scenes owners together."

Yan Feifan chuckled. "Yanran, be the behind-the-scenes owner of Zhiyin Beauty?"

"Where would I get that kind of money?"

Ouyang Yanran pointed behind Yan Feifan to where Yu Chuanbai was still busy and said with a smile, "You'll have money once you sign the contract with Baining in the next couple of days, won't you?"

"Besides, a small, specialized cosmetic surgery clinic like Zhiyin Beauty doesn't actually cost that much."

"The space is rented. The only valuable assets are the three standard operating rooms and some medical equipment."

"Oh, and the Zhiyin Beauty brand has been around for a few years. It's built up a bit of a reputation, so that's worth something too."

Ouyang Yanran calculated, "I estimate we could get it for under ten million."

"Once we acquire it together, we won't have to manage it ourselves. We can hire a full-time director and primarily bring in doctors from the Affiliated Hospital to work part-time."

"When you have time, you could even perform a surgery or two to keep your skills sharp and boost Zhiyin Beauty's reputation at the same time."

"It wouldn't take much of our energy, and we could easily make a few million a year. It's quite doable."

It sounded very tempting.

Yan Feifan mulled it over for a moment, then said, "Yanran, this isn't a small decision. I'll need to think it over carefully."

Ouyang Yanran chuckled softly. "Of course you should consider it, but don't take too long."

"From what I know, several other parties are also interested in Zhiyin Beauty."

Just then, Yan Feifan's phone rang again.

He picked up his phone and saw it was a call from Zheng Libin.

"Mr. Yan, I'm calling to report some good news."

"The task force apprehended Xue Jisheng in a Southeast Asian country. He had altered his appearance and was preparing to immigrate to a third country."

"We estimate he'll be extradited back to the country next week..."
