Hearing Murong Qian's smug laughter from the other end, Jiang Feng suddenly realized if he had said too much. What if she made some outrageous demands later? Would he have to agree?!
Meanwhile, on the other end of the phone, standing in the hallway of the Central Hospital, Murong Qian, clad in her white coat, also felt she had lost her composure. Especially with several passing young nurses eyeing her oddly, she realized she'd gotten a bit carried away!
Hurriedly patting her flushed cheeks, Murong Qian continued over the phone to Jiang Feng, "Okay, tell the doctors at Southern City Hospital that I'll leave work at noon to perform surgery for the Old Man. Have them prepare the operating room and assistants so I can come back in the afternoon and not delay my own matters."
"No need for me to bring the Old Master over?" Jiang Feng asked.
"No need, Mr. Jiang, with your grand status, is it not proper for a lady to offer home service~? Must provide service to your satisfaction!"
After saying this, Murong Qian realized the ambiguity in her words and quickly added, "That's it then. Remember to thank me properly later, don't forget our agreement~"
Then, she hung up the phone.
Jiang Feng was momentarily at a loss for words, walking back to the ward, feeling speechless.
...
In the bustling corridor, after Murong Qian finished her phone call with Jiang Feng, she appeared entirely different from her usual self, practically overjoyed. A few bold young nurses couldn't resist their curiosity, going up to ask, "Director Murong, what's making you so happy? Was that call from your boyfriend?"
Seeing these gossipy girls, Murong Qian tried hard to put on her usually stern and dignified demeanor but failed, "Get back to your duties! Mind your own business!"
"Heehee! It won't be long before we get to have Director Murong's wedding candies!"
"I truly wonder who's so lucky to have won over our stunningly beautiful and uniquely graceful Director Murong!"
"I really want to meet that man!"
Listening to these girls giggling and chatting, Murong Qian was both amused and exasperated, pretending to glare angrily at them until they scrambled away, still laughing.
Unable to help feeling shy, Murong Qian thought that with them spreading such rumors, it wouldn't be long before the entire hospital knew. Rumors spread faster than hurricanes.
Yet, she unexpectedly found that she wasn't particularly against or angry about their wild gossip; instead, her heart was somewhat filled with wild thoughts.
I must be going crazy!
Murong Qian shook her head, struggling to calm her fluttering heart, and headed back towards the operating room.
...
At Southern City Hospital, in the VIP ward.
Nangong Qingcheng immediately approached when Jiang Feng walked in, asking, "How did it go? Did you get in touch with Director Murong?"
At this moment, she felt a little defeated. Although she and Jiang Feng were supposed to be "married," she had no idea who Jiang Feng was associating with outside, even who he was calling. She had to wait for answers like everyone else, which was quite frustrating.
"I got in touch. She agreed to come at noon to operate on the Old Man," Jiang Feng said calmly.
"You...what did you say??" Originally, Nangong Jinming and his family were waiting to see Jiang Feng make a fool of himself, but upon hearing this, Nangong Yan screamed, "Are you talking nonsense? Deliberately boasting to us?"
However, what made her angrier was that regardless of how noisy she became, Jiang Feng ignored her as if she didn't exist.
Jiang Feng approached the doctor and said, "Director Murong said over the phone for you to prepare the operating room in advance, preferably with two assistants. She'll come over after work at noon."
"Is...is that true?" The doctor was more inclined to disbelief, thinking it was a joke that Jiang Feng managed to enlist a female Bodhisattva that everyone else couldn't, even with money and gifts?
"Whether it's true or not, you can verify it with her yourself later, but I advise you not to delay the Old Man's treatment."
The doctor, feeling incredulous, looked at Jiang Feng with admiration, "Young man, you really are extraordinary! You've broken the record for convincing Director Murong! We'll prepare right away. By the way, did she mention the commission on the phone?"
Because they're not from the same hospital, when doctors help across hospitals, also known as external expert consultation, a high fee is usually required, hence the question.
"She didn't mention it on the phone, should be no need to prepare," Jiang Feng replied.
"No...no compensation, voluntary work???" At this moment, not only the doctor but even the assistants were about to faint with excitement!
Jiang Feng not only created a miracle but outright overturned their common knowledge of the medical world. To summon Director Murong for assistance at no cost—what kind of influence is this? Face greater than the heavens!
"Jiang Feng, stop messing around! So many people aren't here just to see you show off!" Nangong Jinming said, unable to hold back any longer, with a grim expression.
Jiang Feng remained indifferent, still calmly telling the doctor, "Proceed as I said. If Director Murong doesn't come at noon, I'll bear the consequences."
"Alright, alright!" The doctor and a few assistants looked at Jiang Feng with deep admiration, then quickly went out to prepare.
"You!" Nangong Yan watched the doctors leave, feeling a bit panicked. She had just made big claims; does she really have to slap her own face?
"Dad! Mom! Do you believe this guy? I think he's just putting on a show!" Nangong Yan quickly turned to her parents.
Although Nangong Jinming and Zhao Chunhua didn't believe it in their hearts, they dared not speak too soon because Jiang Feng had already done so many impossible things before. What if they were embarrassed again, they'd truly be unable to face anyone!
"Hum, today we're not going anywhere. I'm calling my leader for leave right now, and I'll wait until noon to see whether Director Murong really comes or not!" Nangong Jinming glared at Jiang Feng and said.
As it involved the Old Man's surgery, which required leave anyway, all four families applied for leave from work, waiting to see if Jiang Feng would create another miracle or just put on an act!
...
Meanwhile, at the Central Hospital.
A nine-million-yuan Aston Martin Lagonda was parked in the parking lot.
Wearing Burberry suits from the world's top ten brands and Fendi shoes, Yan Chen, handsome and dashing, stepped out of the car. After tidying his already perfectly styled hair in the mirror, he walked into the hospital building.
Just upon stepping on the steps, he suddenly noticed something strange: usually, his arrival would cause a stir, with countless young nurses flocking eagerly, but today, everyone seemed engrossed in something else, so much so that his significant presence was completely ignored.
"Have you heard? Director Murong from our hospital has a boyfriend now! No wonder she's always indifferent to so many suitors; she already has someone she fancies. If those surgical nurses hadn't overheard her call, we wouldn't have known!"
As Yan Chen puzzled over this, a few young nurses passed by, chatting animatedly.
"I heard! Apparently, the person's surname is Jiang. Those who saw Director Murong on the call said she was smiling sweetly, like a bride-to-be!"
"That's Director Murong! So beautiful and capable! If I were a man, I'd like her too. Truly envy that man surnamed Jiang, having such fortune."
"What are you saying?"
Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted the nurses, and Yan Chen's icy figure appeared before them, radiating fury!
The nurses were startled, jumping back at the sudden roadblock. Upon seeing it was Yan Chen, they became extremely flustered, "It's...it's Young Master Yan?"
"Repeat what you just said!" Yan Chen demanded coldly.
"Young Master Yan, we don't know anything, we only heard..." The nurses, terrified, knew Yan Chen was a loyal pursuer of Murong Qian's, and dared not spread gossip in his presence!
"Stop mumbling, just say it!" Yan Chen said with a menacing look, a twitch at his eye corner!
"Yes!" Terrified, the nurses couldn't help but reveal everything...
When Yan Chen heard that Murong Qian "sweetly" finished a call with Jiang Feng, nearly losing herself in happiness, his eyes narrowed into a deadly squint, clenching his fists tightly!
"The one surnamed Jiang, you're courting death!!" He spat, then turned abruptly to leave, feeling that staying there a moment longer would only add to his shame. His hatred for Jiang Feng reached a terrifying peak!
