Yan Feifan was a little surprised to see it was Song Yan who had called out to him.
He hesitated for a mont but got in the car anyway.
After getting in, Yan Feifan noticed a stunning young woman with exquisite makeup sitting next to Song Yan.
He recognized her too.
This was the sa woman who had been by Song Yan’s side during the "selling herself to save her mother" incident.
As far as Yan Feifan knew, the little girl who had inspired so much sympathy was currently accompanying her mother, who had breast cancer, through various treatnts.
The stunning woman stood up with an indifferent expression and went to the back seat, giving her own seat to Yan Feifan.
Yan Feifan sat down, and while fastening his seatbelt, asked, "Mr. Song, are you feeling unwell? Did you co to the hospital for a check-up?"
"Zuimo Court!"
Song Yan gave the instruction to the driver in the front, then said with a light laugh, "Mr. Yan, there’s no need for such formalities. You can just call by my na."
"I’m a few years older, so if you don’t mind, you can just call Mr. Song."
He then continued to explain, "Whenever I hit a ntal block, I clear my head, get in the car, and just drive around the city."
"The neon lights on the sides of the street and the pedestrians on the sidewalk—so rushing, others joking and chatting—really let my brain rest. Sotis, it even sparks so inspiration."
"Tonight was the sa, and I just happened to run into you getting off work, Mr. Yan."
Yan Feifan let out a soft "oh" and suggested, "At this hour, given your physical condition, you should be at ho resting."
Song Yan smiled faintly and sighed with a touch of resignation. "It’s a habit I’ve had for years, hard to change overnight."
"But I do take care of myself, usually."
Song Yan then introduced the beautiful woman who had moved to the back seat. "My sister, Song Yi!"
"Hello!" Yan Feifan turned his head to greet Song Yi.
But she just turned her head slightly to look out the window, clearly disdaining to even acknowledge him.
The atmosphere grew a little awkward.
Song Yan smoothed things over with an apology. "Mr. Yan, I’m sorry."
"My sister has been spoiled and willful since she was a child. She’s a real handful. Let’s just ignore her."
Yan Feifan returned a faint smile, indicating he didn’t mind.
After that, the car fell into an awkward silence.
After a mont, Song Yan broke the silence. "Mr. Yan, do you go ho this late every day?"
Yan Feifan nodded.
He then rembered sothing and said very politely, "Mr. S...ong, thank you for your generous donation to the hospital."
"I want to thank you personally."
Song Yan smiled. "I hope it helps advance your dical research and professional developnt."
Suddenly, as if he had just rembered sothing, Song Yan asked with keen interest, "Mr. Yan, are you interested in a side job to earn so extra cash?"
"What kind of side job?" Yan Feifan asked curiously.
Song Yan explained earnestly, "Well, we recently designed a control circuit board for a certain communication device, and we need to perform performance tests on the finished product."
"It’s just that the company has had a few leaks recently, which has made a bit paranoid. I don’t dare trust anyone else."
"The creation of the original prototype for this circuit board requires soone with very steady hands and a ticulous mind, operating under a microscope."
"Mr. Yan, as an excellent surgeon, steady hands and ticulousness shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?"
Yan Feifan said confidently, "That’s a fundantal skill."
A smile spread across Song Yan’s face, and his voice was full of excitent. "Mr. Yan, even though you’re a doctor and know very little about circuit or chip design, you can absolutely follow my design specifications to etch the circuits and solder the components onto the board."
"And I wouldn’t have to worry at all about the design being leaked."
Song Yan looked at Yan Feifan, his eyes sparkling, and continued, "The work you need to do isn’t actually that much."
"You just need to make so additions, deletions, and modifications to a basic circuit template."
"If things go smoothly, it would probably take about a day to finish."
"Fifty thousand yuan. You in?"
As soon as he heard the pay was fifty thousand, Yan Feifan was imdiately tempted.
After all, because of his uncle’s foolish antics, his family had just taken on a debt of over ninety thousand.
’As for making this circuit board, it sounds like just drawing lines and embedding so small parts under a microscope.’
’This should be much simpler than suturing blood vessels and nerves.’
Yan Feifan said thoughtfully, "I can give it a try, but I only have the whole day off on Sunday."
"As for other tis, it would have to be in the evenings."
Song Yan smiled. "Sunday or evenings are perfectly fine!"
"I’ll call you when I have everything ready on my end."
After they exchanged phone numbers, the car had already stopped at the south gate of the Zuimo Court District...
After getting out of the rcedes, Yan Feifan watched the rear of the car slowly drive away and suddenly felt a pang of regret.
’I should have ntioned the welfare plastic surgery project for the orphanage, and that pretty, adorable deaf-mute little girl.’
But when the words reached his lips, Yan Feifan couldn’t bring himself to say them. He felt a strange sense of hypocrisy and sha, as if he were taking advantage of soone else’s kindness.
’I’ll wait a bit longer. If there’s no progress on Mr. Xiao’s end, I’ll reconsider then!’
Having made this decision, Yan Feifan returned ho to find his sister and Tian Yu, both in their pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, playing Gomoku on a tablet.
"It’s so late, why aren’t you two asleep yet?"
Tian Yu took the opportunity to put away the tablet and giggled. "We’re practicing Gomoku with Ruoruo."
"We played a dozen or two gas against Yanyan online tonight. Even with Ruoruo and I working together, we kept losing. We didn’t win a single ga."
Yan Feifan, spoiling the fun, reminded her, "Xiaoyu, the high school entrance exams are in just over three months."
Tian Yu nodded her little head and said timidly, "Mr. Yan, I’ve been working really hard at school."
"I only relax a little bit when I co here."
Yan Ziruo wrapped an arm around Tian Yu and defended her. "Feifan, don’t be so stern with Xiaoyu. Work-life balance, you know?"
"Don’t you get one day off a week yourself?"
She then said, her face beaming with excitent, "Feifan, the car dealership called this afternoon! They told to go pick up the car tomorrow morning."
"I’ve already made plans with Yanyan. We’re going to pick up the car and do the paperwork in the morning, and then Xiaoyu and I will drive to Phoenix Tail Mountain."
"Xiaoyu is going too?" Yan Feifan was a little surprised.
Tian Yu declared, "Mr. Yan, I know all about Yanyan’s situation."
"Mr. Yan, I’m really brave. When my mom watches horror movies, she always makes watch with her."
"I won’t act weird or do anything to upset Yanyan either."
Yan Feifan reached out and patted Tian Yu’s head, saying, "You don’t need to hide your emotions around Yanyan."
"As long as you genuinely want to be friends with her, she’ll feel it."
Tian Yu gave a little laugh and declared, "Mr. Yan, don’t worry, I’ll beco friends with Yanyan..."
It was late, so after chatting for a bit, the three of them went to get ready for bed.
After washing up, Yan Feifan returned to his bedroom but didn’t get into bed right away.
He closed his eyes and cald his thoughts.
When Yan Feifan opened his eyes again, the scene before him had been replaced by a standard operating room.
On the operating table lay a young patient with a cleft lip...
