A good day always starts with a hearty breakfast.

When Yan Feifan woke up, he saw it was drizzling again outside, which put a bit of a damper on his spirits. But his mood brightened the moment he saw the packed refrigerator.

Yan Feifan found at least forty or fifty vacuum-packed, pre-cooked meals in the refrigerator.

He looked through them and found over a dozen different dishes, including Shredded Pork with Sweet Bean Sauce, Kung Pao Chicken, Yu-Xiang Shredded Pork, Stir-fried Sea Cucumber with Scallions, Four-Joy Meatballs, Moo Shu Pork, Stir-fried Lamb with Scallions, Home-style Tofu, and Braised Spareribs.

Yan Feifan steamed a pot of rice, stir-fried two vegetable dishes, and made a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

In the end, he grabbed two packs from the refrigerator—Kung Pao Chicken and Braised Spareribs—and popped them in the microwave.

A breakfast spread worthy of a dinner was now ready.

Yan Feifan took a bite. Even though the Kung Pao Chicken and Braised Spareribs were just reheated pre-made dishes, they were still rich in flavor and delicious.

As usual, Yan Ziruo got up right on cue, just as he finished preparing the meal.

And now, there was also Yu Suye, who timed her morning workout to finish at the same time.

At the breakfast table, the three of them started talking about getting to work.

Yan Ziruo tactfully pointed out that with the rain, riding a bike was inconvenient and catching a cab would be difficult. She suggested that it might be time to buy a car.

Besides, Yan Feifan had just come into a large sum of money.

Because Lo Jun hadn’t accepted the 300,000-yuan check, after subtracting the expenses for the premium tea and red wine, and then deducting the required personal income tax, Yan Feifan had a net income of roughly 850,000 yuan this time.

Yan Feifan nodded in agreement to buy a car.

He also made one firm demand: they had to buy a car with a high safety rating.

At the same time, Yan Feifan also announced that he wanted to learn how to drive.

Yu Suye enthusiastically volunteered, saying she would be more than happy to be Yan Feifan’s driving instructor…

After breakfast, Yan Feifan put on a rain poncho and rode his bike to work.

When he arrived at the Affiliated Hospital, he first went to the Neurosurgery Department to give the two canisters of tea and two bottles of red wine to his mentor, Lo Jun.

Afterwards, Yan Feifan went to the Plastic Surgery Center to see Director Wang Chuan.

“Director, due to internal conflicts within the Baiyulan Group, the collaboration was over before negotiations even began…”

Yan Feifan briefly recounted what had happened the previous night, then asked, “Director, what exactly is Ouyang Yanran’s position in the Baiyulan Group and the Lin Family?”

Wang Chuan said with a sigh, “Ouyang Yanran is quite unfortunate. The Lin Family controls Baiyulan, and she married into the family.”

“It’s just that her husband died accidentally during an extreme skydiving stunt five or six years ago.”

“Plus, Ouyang Yanran and her husband didn’t have any children, so her position in the Lin Family is actually quite awkward.”

Yan Feifan let out a soft “oh” and listened as Wang Chuan continued, “Ouyang Yanran is mainly responsible for the sales of Baiyulan Group’s medical consumables in Binhai.”

“The medical market here in Binhai is huge. As far as cities go, it’s second only to Jingcheng in the entire country.”

“But her position, even with the added status from her marriage, barely qualifies her as one of Baiyulan Group’s senior executives.”

“She’s definitely not part of the core decision-making circle.”

After a pause, Wang Chuan changed tack. “Since the collaboration with Baiyulan fell through, let’s focus on negotiating good terms with Baining Medical.”

“For the specific negotiations and related legal matters, you can have the center’s retained lawyer, Mr. Jiang, assist you.”

Yan Feifan grunted in acknowledgment and took the stack of files Wang Chuan handed him.

“These are the files on the actors scouted by Mr. Gao. Take a look.”

Yan Feifan quickly flipped through the files and saw they were for two men and one woman.

He said, somewhat confused, “Two men, one is twenty-six, the other is twenty-eight, and the woman is twenty-four.”

“Why isn’t the producer scouting for younger talent?”

“And their looks… they’re maybe a 70 out of 100, at best. They don’t have any distinctive features. For an actor, that’s a very weak starting point.”

Wang Chuan chuckled. “In the entertainment industry, handsome men and beautiful women are everywhere; they aren’t a scarce resource.”

“Mr. Gao says that audiences are getting a bit of aesthetic fatigue; they no longer impulsively pay just to see handsome men and beautiful women on screen.”

“These three are all quite good actors, excellent even, but they’ve just never managed to make a name for themselves.”

“He has a good script on his hands right now.”

“If we can make these three more attractive, he’s very confident he can make them famous overnight.”

Yan Feifan put the files in his briefcase. “I’ll give some serious thought to the surgical plans for these three.”

He then asked with concern, “Director, is the center suddenly short ten or twenty medical staff?”

Wang Chuan smiled gently. “Only a dozen or so.”

“Feifan, let me tell you, our center received over two hundred applications yesterday alone!”

“High pay, a relatively light workload… our center is far more attractive to young nurses than other departments…”

Leaving the Plastic Surgery Center, Yan Feifan went to the trauma surgery ward to check on Peng Jun and give him some instructions.

He had just stepped out of the ward when he saw Chen Yu appear in the hallway with a dozen or so people.

Yan Feifan quickly turned, about to escape through the fire exit on the other side, but he had only taken two steps before he heard Chen Yu yell.

“Yan Feifan, stop right there!”

Resigned, Yan Feifan had no choice but to turn and walk toward her.

“Director Chen, good morning.”

For once, Yan Feifan even offered a bit of flattery. “Director, you’re looking well today.”

Chen Yu snorted. “Save the flattery.”

“Kid, I’ve already spoken with Qin Ying. Starting next week, you’re to report to me here every Wednesday after lunch.”

“Oh, got it,” Yan Feifan replied obediently.

Seeing Yan Feifan’s seemingly compliant but clearly perfunctory reply, Chen Yu felt an itch of irritation and had the urge to grab him by the ear.

But with everyone watching, and her being a department director, she had to restrain herself.

Chen Yu suddenly smiled, her tone turning warm. “Oh, Feifan, Xiaomin’s surgery is at nine this morning. Urology.”

“You shouldn’t always be working. You should make some time to go see her. And don’t forget to bring a bouquet of flowers.”

“Xiaomin likes lilies…”

Watching Yan Feifan’s pathetic figure as he fled in a panic, Chen Yu’s spirits suddenly soared…

When Yan Feifan arrived at Qin Ying’s medical research lab, he was surprised to see a guy he recognized standing outside the door, holding a huge bouquet of flowers.

“Lu Yao, what are you doing here?”

Lu Yao stared at Yan Feifan for a moment with a complicated expression, then put on what he considered his most charming smile and explained quietly, “My family’s company has a branch and some business here in Binhai, so…”

“I came to oversee some work. I won’t be going back to Jingcheng for a while.”

He reached out to put a friendly arm around Yan Feifan, but was dodged.

Lu Yao looked a little awkward, but he managed to force another smile.

“Mr. Yan, from what I hear, the house you and your sister live in is quite large, and you have spare rooms.”

“How about you rent one to me?”

“I’ll only stay for a month…”

Lu Yao held up one finger, then spread his hand open wide. “Fifty thousand! For just one month, I’ll pay fifty thousand in rent.”

“We have a deal…”

Yan Feifan shot a glance at Lu Yao, who had his hand raised for a high five, and ignored him with disdain, pushing open the lab door and walking inside.

Inside the lab, Yu Suye had already changed and was practicing at a surgical station.

Qin Ying stood to the side, observing.

Yan Feifan’s arrival didn’t cause either of them to break their focus.

He quietly changed his clothes, went to a station, and began his own practice…
