Led by Jiang Feng, a group of people stood at the bustling hospital entrance, waiting and waiting, but still there was no sign of Murong Qian.
Ten minutes had already passed since the time Jiang Feng mentioned. Nangong Yan felt secretly pleased and couldn't help but directly mock Jiang Feng: "Jiang Feng, where is the person you mentioned? Aren't you confident? You've made our whole family wait with you until now!"
"Mr. Jiang, this is no joke. We've already done as you asked, but if Director Murong doesn't show up in the end, you're just wasting everyone's time!" The doctor from the morning also frowned at Jiang Feng and said.
"She has her reasons for being late. I'm not anxious, and you shouldn't be either. She will give me an explanation when she arrives." Jiang Feng remained calm and composed.
"Will you die if you stop pretending? An explanation for you? Who do you think you are? The dignified Director Murong will explain to you?" Nangong Yan sneered dismissively.
The doctors also felt that Jiang Feng was too arrogant, he was speaking nonsense. They really regretted not messaging Director Murong to confirm, otherwise, they wouldn't have joined Jiang Feng in this farce!
Just then, a taxi hurriedly stopped by the roadside, and a charming young woman stepped out of the car.
"She's here." Jiang Feng was the first to greet her.
Everyone else was utterly bewildered!
That woman was the legendary Director Murong, and she actually came?!
Moreover, how urgent was it that she took a taxi here?
"I'm sorry, the traffic was too heavy at the hospital entrance and the parking lot was jammed. I rushed over as soon as I got off work but couldn't drive, so I had to take a taxi." Murong Qian apologized with a smile after seeing Jiang Feng.
Nangong Yan and the others who walked up were even more stunned!
She... actually explained and apologized to Jiang Feng?!
"What is happening here?" Nangong Yan rubbed her eyes frantically, unable to believe what she was seeing, feeling as if her face was flushed with shame!
Murong Qian, who hurried over, had a slightly embarrassed blush on her face. Her outfit still had the appearance of a director, with silver-framed glasses perched on her nose, and she hadn't changed out of her white coat.
But the hem of the coat only covered to her knees, exposing her two snow-white, lotus-like calves.
To make it convenient for entering the operating room, she hadn't changed shoes, only wearing pink flip-flops on her feet, highlighting her jade-like feet as if they were white lotuses, with ten proportionate toes exposed like carefully cut petals.
"Oh right, and this!" Murong Qian suddenly remembered something, opened the taxi's driver-side door, took out a large fruit basket, and handed it to Jiang Feng: "I bought this for the Old Man along the way, a token of goodwill."
The entire Nangong Family was practically fainting!
Is this a joke?!!
Director Murong was ten minutes late because she went to buy a fruit basket for the Old Master?!!
Is she here to perform surgery, or to visit the patient?
At this time, Nangong Qingcheng also came up with a look of astonishment, looking at Jiang Feng with doubt, then at Murong Qian.
"Who is this?" Murong Qian was seeing Nangong Qingcheng for the first time and was amazed at her beauty, then hesitatedly glanced at Jiang Feng to ask.
"Hello Director Murong, my name is Nangong Qingcheng, the patient is my grandfather, thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to perform surgery on my grandfather." Nangong Qingcheng introduced herself.
"Your grandfather?" Murong Qian looked a bit confused but quickly suppressed a hint of doubt, smiling and shaking hands with Nangong Qingcheng: "Hello Qingcheng, you don't have to be so polite to me. I've heard about you before because I'm classmates with Bai Zhiqing from your company, so we're closely connected."
Nangong Qingcheng was taken aback: "You're classmates with Sister Zhiqing?"
"Yes, we're best friends. I'm probably only three years older than you, so if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Qian." Murong Qian smiled.
She was quite sociable. Even though she didn't currently understand the relationship between Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng, or why Jiang Feng asked her to treat Nangong Qingcheng's grandfather, she was smart enough not to ask too many questions on such an occasion and behaved in a very approachable manner.
"Oh, so you're Sister Zhiqing's bestie. No wonder Jiang Feng knows you!" Nangong Qingcheng misinterpreted it, suddenly enlightened as she looked at Jiang Feng.
At the same time, all the Nangong Family members understood: it wasn't because Jiang Feng had wide connections and great abilities to invite the prominent Director Murong, it was fundamentally due to Nangong Qingcheng's connections!
He just played the role of a messenger and did a little favor; otherwise, you'd say he's just living off a woman!
"Hmph, I was wondering what the deal was, so that's it! This Jiang guy is truly shameless! Despicable!" Nangong Yan finally found an excuse to exonerate herself and said sarcastically.
The families of Nangong Jinming, Nangong Jinwei, and Nangong Li all looked down on Jiang Feng, thinking that Jiang Feng was actually benefiting from their family's influence and taking the limelight.
"Again with 'you', saying 'you' is so much better! From now on, just call me 'Sister Qian', I'll play the elder and call you little sister Qingcheng, okay, take me to see the Old Master." Murong Qian very naturally linked arms with Nangong Qingcheng, immediately blending in like sisters, chatting and laughing as they headed to the Southern City Hospital.
Jiang Feng shook his head as he watched them from behind.
No matter what, Murong Qian grew up in the Capital City. Even today, her true identity is the young miss of the Murong Family!
Her experience and temperament are far beyond her peers. To manipulate a girl like Nangong Qingcheng was just a piece of cake for her—though Nangong Qingcheng was already outstanding among her peers, compared to Murong Qian, she was just a little white rabbit in front of a big fox.
"Director Murong, hello, I'm Wang Chun, the Vice Director of Surgery at Southern City Hospital. Welcome to our hospital to assist in surgery." The doctor in charge hurried up with his assistants, rubbing his hands excitedly.
The more people within the hospital system knew how sought-after Murong Qian was, she was practically the rising star of Binhai's medical community, and even he hadn't had the chance to see her before!
"Yes, hello Vice Director Wang, let me see the patient first, then I'll prepare for the surgery. I'll need two assistants, inform your pathology department to be ready for tests at any time. Around midday, we'll all work some overtime." Murong Qian responded to others in a BUSINESSLIKE manner, proficiently and with great professionalism.
"No problem, I've already spoken up about it! Including myself as an assistant, you can choose anyone, we are wholeheartedly ready to assist you!" Vice Director Wang said quickly, then ushered Murong Qian into the hospital like a goddess.
In the special care ward, Murong Qian brought the fruit basket to visit the Old Master first, chatting happily, her words more like a junior greeting an elder rather than a doctor inquiring about a patient. After soothing Nangong Honghu's nervous mood, she signaled Wang Chun with her eyes.
The latter understood, immediately instructing others to push the Old Master to the operating room.
Gazing at the operating room's bright red operation light, Nangong Qingcheng was full of anxiety, pacing back and forth in the hallway worriedly.
"Don't worry, the Old Master will be fine." Jiang Feng noticed Nangong Qingcheng's unease, walked over, and put an arm around her shoulder, saying.
Nangong Qingcheng nodded, but her eyes still turned red.
Her grandfather is at an advanced age, and now he has to undergo surgery, enduring the pain of the knife.
Besides, the surgery itself carries risks; if the tumor removed is malignant, it means the Old Master has cancer, and then she'll probably feel more heartbroken.
The Nangong Family also, out of concern for the Old Master, ceased their sarcastic remarks about Jiang Feng at this moment. They were anxiously waiting for the results, with only Nangong Yan casting angry glances at Jiang Feng from time to time!
