Just then, the melody of "Jasmine" began to play.
Wang Chuan paused.
He knew it was Yan Feifan’s ringtone.
Then, Yan Feifan’s voice sounded out.
"Hello, Dr. Qin!"
"He’s awake? The test results are good? Oh, that’s great news."
"What medical expert group?"
"Oh... so it’s about that..."
"Dr. Qin, I’m mainly focused on studying and gaining experience right now. My schedule is packed every day. As for the expert group, I’ll have to pass for now..."
As soon as Yan Feifan hung up, Wang Chuan couldn’t help but ask, "Feifan, was that Qin Feng from the PLA General Hospital?"
"What was that about an expert group?"
Yan Feifan sat up and replied, "Yes, that was Dr. Qin."
"He said on the phone that the country is holding a major international conference next month. They’re putting together a medical expert team to be on standby for any potential medical emergencies."
"Standby duty like that is incredibly boring. Besides, I don’t have the time for it."
Hearing this, Wang Chuan grew anxious.
"A major international conference next month?"
"That must be the ministerial consultative conference between China and the European nations being held in Jingcheng."
"Feifan, don’t you understand?"
Wang Chuan explained frantically, "Getting into this medical expert group means you’ve passed the screening by the Central Health Bureau!"
"This means you’ve received recognition from the highest authorities and are now considered one of the top surgeons in the country."
"How could you just turn it down?"
Yan Feifan froze for a moment as it dawned on him.
"Director, so getting into this group basically makes you a modern-day Imperial Physician."
"I thought you had to go through all sorts of background checks and assessments to get in. I didn’t realize it was as simple as a single phone call."
Wang Chuan scoffed. "It’s not as simple as you think. A doctor can save a life, but they can also take one. The difference can be a single impulse."
"Before Dr. Qin made that call, the relevant authorities must have already done an extremely thorough background check on you."
"It’s only because your track record has been consistently exemplary that you passed their investigation so easily."
Yan Feifan grinned smugly. "Well, I’ve always held myself to the highest professional and ethical standards."
"Except for being a bit greedy," Wang Chuan pointed out bluntly.
Yan Feifan chuckled again, completely unabashed. "Nobody’s perfect. A flawless person doesn’t exist."
He picked up his phone again, ready to call Qin Feng back.
But after a moment of thought, he decided against it.
"Forget it. I can’t rely on the Puncture Injection Skill for my whole career."
"At this stage, I need to stay resolute, focus on studying and gaining experience, and avoid the temptation of superficial fame..."
