Facing this blatant provocation, which was simply intolerable, the furious Chen Yu immediately accepted the challenge.
She even declared magnanimously that she wouldn’t use her seniority to bully them.
Whatever Yan Feifan and Yu Suye’s professional ranks were, she would send out students of the same rank to compete.
As for the time and content of the competition, she let Qin Ying’s side decide, accepting all terms.
Qin Ying let out two cold laughs, then turned and left with Yan Feifan and Yu Suye.
Yan Feifan was completely bewildered as to why his new teacher would pull such a stunt.
After leaving the trauma surgery building, Qin Ying looked up at the relatively bright sun and said, "It’s lunchtime. That’s all for today."
"We’ll meet in the new office tomorrow morning."
With that, Qin Ying headed toward the hospital’s east gate.
Yan Feifan thought for a moment but ultimately decided not to follow her. Instead, he called Director Qee Sheng and gave him a brief rundown of the situation.
Just as he finished speaking, he heard Qee Sheng sigh lightly through the phone. "Dr. Chen Yu and your teacher were once known as the ’Twin Prodigies’."
"But in the medical field, people only remember the best one. Who pays attention to second place?"
"Your teacher was always just a cut above, and Dr. Chen Yu has never been able to accept it."
"The two of them competed back and forth, so their relationship isn’t the best."
"However..."
Qee Sheng chuckled again. "After your teacher’s accident, Dr. Chen Yu ran every red light to get to City First Hospital as fast as she could to perform the reattachment surgery on her severed finger."
"Those two..."
After another chuckle, Qee Sheng reminded him, "Xiaoyan, you two young ones had better be careful."
"Neither of them is easy to deal with. If you two don’t perform well in the competition, you’re going to be in for it..."
Yan Feifan put away his phone and noticed Yu Suye, who had sidled over to eavesdrop, quickly take a step back and pretend nothing was wrong.
He didn’t call her out on it and simply invited her, "It’s lunchtime. Want to go to the cafeteria together?"
Yu Suye shook her head. "I bought a small apartment at Shengjing Apartments, not far from the hospital, but I haven’t finished unpacking yet."
"I should hurry over and get it organized while I have the time."
"See you tomorrow..."
Watching Yu Suye’s retreating figure, Yan Feifan couldn’t help but mutter, ’She’s loaded.’
’She didn’t rent, she just casually bought a place...’
He arrived at the first staff cafeteria and saw his sister had already gotten their food and was waiting for him.
"Braised pork ribs, lion’s head meatballs, steamed egg with shrimp, lamb hot pot..."
Seeing such a lavish spread, Yan Feifan couldn’t help but ask, "Sis, are you trying to bankrupt us?"
Yan Ziruo giggled. "My little brother was a great hero today and saved a life, so of course, I have to treat him well."
Yan Feifan took a bite of lamb and asked for confirmation, "Sis, they saved him?"
Yan Ziruo hummed in affirmation, her voice filled with excitement. "It’s already being reported online."
"They said that after all-out rescue efforts at Ren’ai Hospital, the man’s heartbeat and consciousness have been restored, but he still needs follow-up treatment."
Yan Feifan was well aware of the need for follow-up treatment.
Cardiac arrest indicated that the heart had sustained major damage.
Moreover, CPR has its limits in restoring blood and oxygen supply throughout the body.
There was also a chance of damage to the brain, nervous system, and internal organs.
’The follow-up treatment will be a long and arduous road...’
"Feifan, look! Several videos of us rescuing that man have popped up online..."
Yan Feifan took the phone from his sister and scrolled through it.
He found no fewer than five videos, some of which showed him performing CPR.
He also noticed that the video of Yan Ziruo shouting encouragement for the patient had received the most comments and likes.
"Sis, it looks like you’re even more famous than I am!"
Yan Ziruo took back the phone with a grin and said, "At the time, I was just thinking that if my crying could wake you up from a deep coma..."
"...then maybe that man could also sense what was happening outside, so I couldn’t help but start shouting..."
Just then, Yan Feifan’s phone rang.
He saw it was a call from Mr. Liu and answered it.
"Feifan, I just got a call from the city’s TV station. They want to come and interview you and your sister about your heroic rescue this morning."
Yan Feifan instinctively tried to decline. "Teacher, is that really necessary?"
"Any medical professional would have stepped up in that situation."
