Yan Feifan heard the door open and saw Director Wang Chuan walk in.
"Director, you don’t have to wait around with me. It’s just a routine check-up. I can handle it."
Yan Feifan sighed again. "If it weren’t for the need to show how important she is, this check-up could have just been given to a nurse."
"And I wouldn’t have to be here waiting, either."
Wang Chuan chuckled. "She paid a million, far more than an ordinary person, so naturally she gets to enjoy the corresponding premium service."
"Actually, when you think about it, it’s pretty good. If you break it down, our appearance fees aren’t low either—several tens of thousands per hour."
Yan Feifan couldn’t help but laugh. "Compared to celebrities, we’re still cheap."
"I’ve heard that those celebrities can make hundreds of thousands, even millions, just by singing a song or showing up at a commercial event."
Wang Chuan poured himself a glass of water and chugged half of it in one go.
"Feifan, don’t be ungrateful."
"Compared to the doctors in other departments, our income is enough to make them burn with envy and jealousy."
"If the details of your income were made public, you little rascal, I bet a lot of people would get ideas about kidnapping you."
Yan Feifan said with some pride, "You get what you pay for, and my skills are worth the price. I didn’t steal or rob anyone—I earned it all with real ability."
Wang Chuan drained the rest of his water in another gulp and sat down across from Yan Feifan.
"Feifan, let’s talk about something serious."
Wang Chuan said with a solemn expression, "Your total income last month, just from what the plastic surgery center paid you, was over three million."
"I just heard a reliable rumor..."
Wang Chuan jabbed a finger upwards. "A few of the hospital leaders have some strong opinions about it."
"Apparently, this has been reported up to Binhai University and the Health Commission, and one of the leaders even made a statement."
"They said that as a public hospital, we can’t be money-grubbing."
Yan Feifan’s expression darkened. "I earn a lot, but I earn even more for the hospital."
"Do they not see that?"
Wang Chuan said sarcastically, "Some people are just green with envy seeing how much money you made. They choose to ignore everything else."
Yan Feifan asked worriedly, "They aren’t going to come up with some bullshit regulation to limit my income, are they?"
Wang Chuan said slowly, "With Mr. Liu holding the line, they probably won’t issue a regulation that specifically targets you."
"But, it’s hard to say."
"Some people are useless at getting things done, but they’re masters at causing trouble."
Yan Feifan said fiercely, "I’d like to see anyone dare to cut off my livelihood."
"Damn it, I’m no pushover. I’ll make sure they regret it."
Seeing Yan Feifan’s puffed-up, angry look, Wang Chuan couldn’t help but laugh. "You really are a protective little money-grubber..."
