Chapter 335: Chapter 334: Eat a Little More

Pan Lirong’s nephew, Pan Xiaodong, was the owner of the Blue Sky Fitness Center.

After purchasing the property rights to the building where Xinfeng Restaurant was located, he planned to develop it into a small themed hotel.

However, Liu Xia wouldn’t budge, so this nephew resorted to dirty tricks, trying to force Xinfeng Restaurant to terminate its lease...

"Dr. Yan, thank you for your magnanimity."

"When it’s convenient for you, I will definitely bring my worthless nephew to host a banquet and apologize..."

In the study of a villa on Phoenix Tail Mountain, Pan Lirong lowered his phone and glared at the strapping man standing beside him.

This man was Pan Xiaodong, thirty-four years old, with the physique of a bodybuilder.

Under Pan Lirong’s sharp gaze, Pan Xiaodong stooped slightly and said with an embarrassed expression, "Uncle, I didn’t expect that little broad to actually be friends with Dr. Yan."

"And I certainly didn’t expect Dr. Yan to have such deep connections with the precinct chief."

Pan Lirong chided in a cold voice, "You didn’t expect?"

"You spend all day working out. Have you trained your brain into mush?"

"There’s a lot you didn’t expect."

"Given the medical skills Dr. Yan has displayed, I wouldn’t be surprised if his connections went straight to the central government, let alone a mere precinct chief."

He then asked in a heavy voice, "Forget Dr. Yan for a moment. I’m asking you about the owner of Xinfeng Restaurant, the ’little broad’ you mentioned..."

"Before you provoked her, did you or did you not do any research on her?"

Pan Xiaodong didn’t dare to answer, merely bending over even further.

"Caused serious injury to two people in a gang fight, sent to a labor camp for three years because she was a minor. Last month, she took a knife and cut off her ex-boyfriend’s manhood."

"Xiaodong, you’ve provoked a complete desperado..."

Pan Lirong said, his voice laced with pain, "Have you ever thought about it? If you push her too far..."

"She’s the type who’d risk it all. What do you think the consequences would be?"

Pan Xiaodong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said softly, "Uncle, I was wrong. Things have been going too smoothly for me these past few years, and I got reckless."

"Xiaodong, a man must have something to fear."

"In the business world, you have to understand the rules and play by them. If you ignore the rules, others will dare to ignore the law."

After this piece of instruction, Pan Lirong added, "Tonight, you will go to Xinfeng Restaurant in person and apologize to that owner."

"Be sincere. Show your sincerity through the rent."

Pan Xiaodong nodded quickly. "I’ll head back to the city to apologize right away."

"Um, Uncle, what about Dr. Yan?"

Pan Lirong said slowly, "You don’t need to worry about Dr. Yan. I will handle the relationship with him..."

The Thousand Islands Restaurant at the Jinxiu Grand Hotel specialized in preparing all kinds of fresh fish dishes.

Around seven o’clock, with the arrival of the last guest, Dr. Tan Xiao, Dr. Qiu Ge instructed the waiter that they could start serving the food.

As the banquet officially began, Dr. Qiu gave a short speech, specifically expressing her gratitude to Yan Feifan and Tan Xiao.

She felt she had no choice.

So many uninvited guests had shown up. Yan Feifan was one thing, but she was worried that Dr. Tan Xiao might get the wrong idea.

After they all drank the first toast, Yan Feifan hadn’t even put down his glass of water before he was teased by Liu Jin.

"Feifan, should we get you a bowl of sobriety soup first? I’m worried you’ll get drunk just from the fumes from all of us."

Amid a wave of soft laughter, Yan Feifan said morosely, "It’s perfectly normal to be sensitive to alcohol and not drink."

Liu Jin laughed heartily. "You’re the first person ever to be carried out of an operating room because you got drunk from alcohol fumes."

"When I went to the Health Commission on business, more than one person asked me if that story was true."

"Someone even asked me if you’d pass out drunk while disinfecting a patient with alcohol."

Yan Feifan rolled his eyes and explained, "It was mainly because that man reeked so strongly of alcohol that night, and I was by his side for too long."

"Mr. Chen can testify. The man smelled like he’d been soaked in a wine vat. The stench was overwhelming!"

Chen Yu chuckled. "I can confirm, the smell of alcohol on him at the time was indeed very strong."

"So much so that Feifan didn’t even last half an hour before he started swaying on his feet... HAHA..."

"Whenever I think about how Feifan looked back then, I can’t help but laugh..."

After another round of laughter, Liu Jin consoled him, "Feifan, after the seminar, you’ll be a medical celebrity."

"A man sensitive to alcohol who makes an outstanding contribution using alcohol—it’s a great story in the medical world."

Yan Feifan decided to ignore him and launched an attack with his chopsticks on the steamed large yellow croaker in front of him...

After eating with his head down for a while, he saw Dr. Qiu deliberately clink glasses with Dr. Tan to thank her again.

Dr. Tan said modestly, "I really didn’t contribute much to Ren Xiaobao’s recovery. His psychological issues were closely related to his medical condition."

"Now that his body is gradually recovering, his psychological problems just needed a little guidance to get back on track."

"Ultimately, the credit mainly belongs to you, Dr. Qiu, and Dr. Yan."

Meeting the gazes of Dr. Qiu and Dr. Tan, Yan Feifan also humbly stated that he had only contributed about ten percent.

Dr. Qiu raised her red wine glass toward Yan Feifan and sighed, "Dr. Yan, your ten percent was the crucial ten percent. It was the prerequisite for the surgery’s ultimate success."

"Thank you!"

As she said this, her husband also raised his glass in a toast.

Yan Feifan quickly raised his own water glass in response and took another sip.

He started making small talk, asking, "Dr. Qiu, are you familiar with a Dr. Qin Feng from the neurosurgery department at the Armed Police General Hospital?"

"Qin Feng from the Armed Police General Hospital? In neurosurgery?"

Dr. Qiu thought for a moment, then shook her head. "The only Qin Feng I know is Dr. Qin Feng from the Jingcheng Military Hospital."

"His skill level is higher than mine."

Hearing this, Yan Feifan understood.

That Qin Feng was actually a "flying knife" from the PLA General Hospital.

In the field of neurosurgery in China, the possibility of a second Dr. Qin Feng with the same name and such a high level of skill was minuscule.

"Oh, then I must have remembered it wrong."

Yan Feifan mumbled an excuse and turned his gaze to Tan Xiao.

"Dr. Tan, I heard you took on the psychological counseling for that ’ugly freeloader’s’ family?"

Tan Xiao nodded and said softly, "The problem mainly stems from the parents’ unprincipled doting."

"Because of their own shortcomings and other issues, those parents always wanted to give their child the best of everything, but they ended up harming him instead."

Tan Xiao sighed softly. "Fortunately, they’ve realized this, but they just haven’t found a way to change."

Yan Feifan asked curiously, "So, can the ’ugly freeloader’ be reformed?"

Tan Xiao said in a heavy voice, "For his situation, we can only use strong medicine now. He needs to be cut off completely and forced to develop a sense of responsibility."

"Dr. Tan, if the ’strong medicine’ is too potent, couldn’t it backfire?" Yan Feifan was a little worried.

Tan Xiao smiled and said, "Sometimes, only by being pushed off a cliff can one truly learn how to survive."

"Of course, I will definitely design the specific plan very carefully."

Hearing her say that, Yan Feifan finally understood.

’This woman is a psychological radical. She has a bit of a ’the ends justify the means’ vibe.’

He couldn’t help but worry a little for Song Yan.

’A girlfriend like that, and a psychology expert at that. Besides, there’s the saying that a psychologist is basically a mental patient themselves.’

’If Song Yan ever does something wrong and earns Tan Xiao’s disgust, his fate will probably be miserable...’

Just then, a piece of fish was placed in Yan Feifan’s small bowl. "Feifan, this slippery fish fillet is delicious. You should try some."

Yan Feifan turned to look at Yu Suye’s sweet smile and suddenly realized that the fear he used to feel for her seemed to have vanished.

’When did it disappear?’

’Was it after our relationship became more intimate?’

’Was it her pitiful, begging-for-mercy appearance in bed that allowed me to build up such a strong psychological advantage?’

Yan Feifan ate the piece of fish and nodded. "It really is good."

He returned the gesture, placing a large piece of the croaker into Yu Suye’s bowl. "This steamed large yellow croaker must be wild-caught."

"It tastes great. You should have some more."

Sitting on Yan Feifan’s other side, Yan Ziruo saw this and muttered jealously under her breath, "Got a wifey and already forgot about your... sister!"

"He knows steamed fish is my favorite, and this is even a wild yellow croaker. How could I be so shameless as to take a lot for myself?"

Wang Chuan, sitting next to Yan Ziruo, heard her words and found it rather amusing.

Wang Chuan picked up his chopsticks and a spoon, and using both at once, he scooped up a huge piece of the steamed large yellow croaker and placed it in Yan Ziruo’s small bowl.

"If you like it, then eat more!"
