"We all know that the surgical instruments used in minimally invasive surgery today are mostly straight-shafted. They can’t be used for some complex operations, leaving open-abdominal or open-chest surgery as the only options."
"If the instruments inside the body could bend and turn flexibly in response to our manipulations, then many more operations could be performed as minimally invasive procedures."
"For your surgical arm design, Mr. Yu should have given you a six-million-yuan design fee, not tricked you into doing free labor as a publicity stunt."
Yan Feifan scratched his head and said sheepishly, "The collaboration with Baining Medical Technology has always been good, so I didn’t think too much about it."
Wang Chuan chuckled lightly and said, "Don’t worry too much about it."
"Leading a company to long-term success can never rely on swindling and deceit. Mr. Yu is definitely clear on this point."
"Besides, Feifan, you’re a gold mine of limitless potential. Mr. Yu isn’t one to lose a fortune for a trifle."
"I imagine she’ll offer some other form of appreciation or compensation."
After a pause, Wang Chuan reminded him, "Feifan, consider this a lesson learned."
"In the future, when similar collaborations come up, don’t agree so hastily. Think it over yourself, or consult with professionals from other industries."
Yan Feifan grunted in acknowledgment, taking the advice to heart.
Yan Ziruo pulled out a napkin, wiped some oil she had accidentally gotten on her hand, and said, "With little experience, limited exposure, and no elders to guide him, it’s inevitable that he’ll be deceived and taken advantage of."
"Mr. Wang, please look out for him more in the future."
Wang Chuan chuckled and said, "Ziruo, you’re worrying too much. Feifan doesn’t need me to look out for him."
"At most, people will take some small advantage of him. No one would dare to go too far."
Wang Chuan elaborated, "Feifan is destined to become a great and famous doctor of his generation. His network of connections will surely be vast."
"If anyone is blind enough to bully Feifan, plenty of people will voluntarily step up to fight back on his behalf."
Yan Ziruo said gleefully, "As Feifan’s older sister, does this mean I can walk sideways from now on?"
"Are you a crab? You want to walk sideways?" Yan Feifan teased.
Yan Ziruo immediately glared at him and threatened, "Feifan, don’t you get a big head."
"Outsiders might not dare to bully you, but if I bully you, no one will dare to stand up for you."
"Who says no one will?"
Yu Suye chimed in with a grin, "Sis, I’ll protect Feifan from now on."
Yan Ziruo glanced at Yu Suye, then at Yan Feifan who was deliberately leaning against her, and huffed twice.
"Don’t get cocky. I’ll find a boxing coach for a husband..."
Amid the talk and laughter, the four of them finished their lunch.
At nearly three-thirty in the afternoon, Yan Feifan received a call from an unknown number.
As soon as he answered, a middle-aged man’s voice came through.
"Mr. Yan, hello. I’m Zhou Xian, a doctor from cardiac surgery."
Hearing this, Yan Feifan was a little surprised. ’Why would Zhou Xian, famous for his atrial and ventricular septal defect repair surgeries, be calling me?’
"Mr. Yan, are you free tonight? I’d like to treat you to dinner!"
At this, Yan Feifan was even more surprised.
’Not long ago, we had a rather unpleasant falling-out.’
’This sudden dinner invitation... it can’t be a trap, can it?’
