Around 7:00 PM, Yan Feifan arrived at the plastic surgery center, ready to explain the surgical plan for tomorrow’s cleft lip repair to Wang Chuan.

As soon as he entered the center’s building, two nurse assistants, Meng Yao and Ye Lin, who had been waiting for him, came up to greet him.

Meng Yao reported first, “Mr. Yan, the 1.06 million from the orphanage’s special charity fund has all arrived.”

“Mr. Wang said that every expenditure from this fund requires your signature.”

Yan Feifan nodded, taking a stack of documents from Meng Yao. He then heard her ask, “Lele is in ward twelve on the fifth floor. Are you going to see him later?”

The documents in Yan Feifan’s hands were the latest physical examination results for Lele, the child with the cleft lip from the orphanage.

He flipped through them as he replied, “I’ll see if I have time later.”

“How is he psychologically?”

Meng Yao said softly, “It’s inevitable that he’s nervous and scared, but he’s also full of anticipation.”

“Even though he’s only four or five, he understands what this surgery means for him.”

Yan Feifan sighed softly and said, “Spend more time with him. Try to ease his anxiety and fear as much as possible.”

“I will,” Meng Yao replied.

Just then, Ye Lin reported, “Mr. Yan, Mr. Qin is also waiting for you in the director’s office.”

“Also, Dr. Tang’s cleft lip surgery is scheduled for 2:00 PM tomorrow.”

Yan Feifan grunted in acknowledgment.

By this time, he had reached the door of the director’s office.

Yan Feifan handed the examination documents back to Meng Yao, knocked, and entered. He saw Mr. Qin and Mr. Wang drinking tea in the reception area.

Without wasting any words, Yan Feifan went straight over, grabbed the mobile whiteboard that was off to the side, and pulled it in front of the two men.

“Teacher, Mr. Wang, regarding tomorrow night’s cleft lip repair surgery, my proposed surgical plan is as follows…”

“First is the palatoplasty, primarily using a modified Langenbeck technique.”

“However, based on the patient’s specific condition and my overall surgical concept, I’ve made the following revisions…”

As he spoke, Yan Feifan used a marker to draw simplified diagrams of the procedure on the whiteboard, explaining his surgical plan in detail.

Because this was his first time leading a cleft lip surgery, he was exceptionally thorough, detailing his plan almost down to every single incision.

The explanation took Yan Feifan over forty minutes. By the end, his mouth was dry, and he felt more exhausted than if he had actually performed a surgery.

When he finally finished, Yan Feifan took a cup of warm tea from Mr. Wang and drank it all in one go.

“Mr. Wang, Teacher, the entire operation is expected to take three hours.”

“Do you think there are any areas in my surgical plan that need improvement?”

Wang Chuan chuckled, saying with satisfaction, “Feifan, you’ve made the plan so detailed, it’s almost like you walked us through the entire surgery. It’s clear how much effort you’ve put into preparing.”

“It’s just that…”

Wang Chuan continued, a note of awe in his voice, “Feifan, I knew you were ambitious, but I didn’t realize your ambition was this great.”

“Not only are you performing the palatoplasty and cheiloplasty yourself, but you also want to resolve the issues with nasopharyngeal and maxillary alveolar molding all at once—procedures that are normally done sequentially over several years.”

“Are you really that confident?”

Yan Feifan explained softly, “Lele is a child from the orphanage. He might not get the chance for a second cosmetic surgery a few years from now.”

“Mr. Wang, Teacher, this surgical plan is a comprehensive approach, designed to be as cohesive as possible and to minimize surgical trauma.”

“At the same time, I’ve also made bold predictions about the patient’s future recovery and development trends to perform preemptive shaping.”

Yan Feifan said, full of confidence, “Even if the post-operative recovery doesn’t meet my highest expectations, I’m confident the results will still be good.”

Qin Ying said in a deep voice, “Feifan, this plan of yours embodies your ‘general practitioner’ mindset, coordinating several smaller, separate procedures into a single, complex operation.”

“This is excellent.”

“However, there is one thing. Your plan requires not only precise technique during the operation, but also for each and every incision to be perfectly coordinated with the next, as if following a pre-written program. There can be no oversights or errors.”

Qin Ying questioned, “If an error or an accident occurs during the surgery, can you control the situation and calmly get the procedure back on your pre-planned track?”

“After all, this is your first time leading a surgery like this, isn’t it?”

Yan Feifan said confidently, “I can!”

“Teacher, Mr. Wang, although this is my first time leading a cleft lip repair surgery, I’ve done a great deal of preparation recently.”

“I have considered the many problems that might arise during the operation and have prepared contingency plans.”

Qin Ying stared into Yan Feifan’s eyes and said slowly, “Given your preparation, and the impression you’ve given us before, I’m inclined to believe you will succeed.”

“But with something like surgery, no one can give a 100% guarantee. We can only wait and see how you perform tomorrow night.”

“Feifan, I need to remind you of one more thing…”

Qin Ying said in a serious tone, “Even an attending physician like Tang Zheng needs others to cooperate with him to complete a cleft lip repair.”

“For you to be the sole lead surgeon, Mr. Wang has endorsed you.”

“Furthermore, the patient is a child from the orphanage. If the surgery fails unexpectedly, all sorts of talk will surface.”

Wang Chuan laughed heartily and said, “Mr. Qin, don’t scare Feifan. I can handle this bit of pressure.”

“Besides, I have complete confidence in Feifan.”

Wang Chuan looked at Yan Feifan and chuckled. “If I wasn’t so tired of all the worries, I would have quit my position as director and opened my own plastic surgery hospital long ago.”

“Feifan, go ahead and do it without worry. Like I said before, I’ll take responsibility for the outcome.”

“Thank you, Mr. Wang!”

Yan Feifan expressed his gratitude, then quickly declared, “Mr. Wang, Teacher, I am confident I won’t let you down.”

“You can just watch my performance.”

Wang Chuan nodded slightly, then said with some embarrassment, “Feifan, there’s something I need to tell you. I might have messed up a surgery for you.”

Yan Feifan looked at Wang Chuan with a puzzled expression.

Wang Chuan cleared his throat and explained, “It’s like this. This evening, someone sent me two pictures. One was a photo without any makeup, and the other was a photo where her appearance was altered with tape.”

Hearing this, Yan Feifan understood. They were Luo Wei’s photos.

He guessed that Luo Wei’s parents or family were worried, so they asked around through their connections, and the inquiry eventually made its way to the director.

“The other party asked me if it was possible to surgically alter this person’s appearance to look like the version with the tape.”

Wang Chuan picked up his teacup and took a sip before continuing, “At the time, I didn’t think much of it and just told them that although this kind of plastic surgery might seem like it doesn’t involve muscle or bone, it has extremely high requirements for the surgeon.”

“He would need a meticulously precise understanding of the person’s facial muscles, and his Sword Technique would also have to be exceptionally accurate.”

“I also told them that I couldn’t perform this surgery.”

“Later, I pressed for more details…”

Wang Chuan said, a little sheepishly, “The person said that the one who designed this surgical plan was just a resident doctor.”

“I immediately thought of you.”

“Once I confirmed, it was indeed you.”

“With your ability to tell if someone has had plastic surgery just from a photo, your mastery of facial muscles is definitely at that level.”

“I told them that for you, this surgery is easy—not difficult for someone who knows what they’re doing.”

Wang Chuan chuckled again and said, “After I hung up, I realized that my sudden change of tune might have had the opposite effect.”

“They probably think I changed my story because of my relationship with you, not because of your actual ability.”

Yan Feifan just said, “Oh,” and gave a small smile. “It’s alright, Mr. Wang. If they don’t believe it, that’s their loss, not mine.”

But Wang Chuan looked regretful. “It’s not easy to come across a cosmetic surgery patient who is such a perfect match for your unique strengths.”

“It would be a real shame to miss this opportunity…”
