The Surgery!

Yu yan mood had changed ever since the night she received a call from Chen Kai, she kept daydreaming about the day she and Chen Kai will be reunited, she went to the hospital on the day she was going to celebrate her friends who had just returned from their training, as soon as she arrived at the hospital, she went to the reception first to write her name on the logbook.

"wow you are looking more beautiful today," the nurse at the reception said to yu yan with a broad smile on her face.

" Thanks, I have an outing after work today," Yu Yan replied as she dropped the pen and left the reception, Yu Yan always had a normal simple appearance whenever she was at work unlike An Ke and Xiaomengwho always loved to dress extravagantly, but today she was dressed in an unusual manner.

She wore a berry coloured satin wide neck oversized blouse and a button embellished stretch-crepe pencil skirt, her brown hair was silky and well straightened, her hair laid on her right shoulder, her lipstick colour was also deeper than usual, she was wearing a deep red lipstick, she carried a black mauve Moda handbag and berry coloured wedge, she also wore her white coat over her blouse and skirt

As she walked into the office, they were all surprised to see her looking beautiful than usual. Although they were all dressed elegantly to prepare for their outing later in the evening they had long forgotten how she looked like when she is dressed elegantly, as she walked over to her seat Li Chen took a photo of her, she noticed his flash and smiled at him as she dropped her bag in the table and sat down.

"Yu Yan even though we are dressed more extravagant than you, we still cannot beat your beauty," An Ke said as she examined Yu Yan's body from the top of her head to the sole of her feet.

" of course, she is not the university beauty for nothing, without her dressing up she is beautiful but when she is dressed up like this the word beautiful is even an understatement for her, " Li Chen added then he drops his phone after saving her pictures.

"You all are exaggerating what is so pretty about her," Xiaomeng said then she scoffed at yu yan, they weren't surprised to hear her comment when it comes to Yu Yan, she always says the opposite of what she is, if she had commended yu yan then it would have been strange.

" well, no one expected anything good to come out of your mouth, " An Ke said to Xiaomeng and turned to yu yan.

" yu yan it has been long since we last practised karate, I remembered that you were also the best in our university club if you didn't become a doctor you would have become a karate champion," An Ke said, Yu Yan nodded her head as she watched her speak, she knows that An Ke would never bring up any random topic if she isn't getting at something.

"What is your point, cause I can see that you are getting at something?" Yu Yan asked with her arms folded on her chest.

"I really liked it back then, why don't we go to the karate club close to my house on Saturday," An Ke said then she fluttered her lashes to make Yu Yan agree to go with her.

 " ok, let's go together with Li Chen," Yu Yan answered then she turned to look at Li Chen.

" since you want me to come along then I will,"  Li Chen replied.

They chatted in the office for a while and afterwards the team leader of the cardiology department came into the office, they didn't notice her for because they were busy laughing as they were reminiscing their university days, she coughed in order to gain her attention and they all turned towards the door to see who was standing there, at the sight of their team leader they stood up immediately.

" team leader" they chorused.

" were you all not informed of the meeting the chief surgeon called," she said as she took some steps into the office with her face frowned and a deadly glare while they cowered their head to avoid her glare.

" We are sorry, we were not informed of the meeting" Yu Yan said on their behalf as they all came out of their seating position.

"we will talk about this later, for now, I need you in the general meeting room in two minutes," she said as she walked out of their office, as soon as she left their office, they ran out of their office and sprinted to the meeting hall.

When they entered the hall, they were surprised to see most of the specialist surgeons from the cardiology department already in the meeting room, they were the last to arrive so all eyes were on them as they took their seat at the round large meeting table, the chief surgeon who was sitting at the centre of the table cleared his throat with a frown on his face as he watched them walk into the hall.

"in this meeting, only the skilled surgeons from the general surgery department and the cardiology department, as well as the anesthesiology department, are present, the agenda of this meeting is to discuss the total artificial heart surgery which will be performed on Mr Li  Zhang Wei, he is the top investor in the Beijing hospital and V.V.I.P patients, so we have to select the best surgical team for his operation and discuss the risk associated with this, everyone is welcome to give their opinions regarding this operation," The chief surgeon said 

" of course such meetings can only be held for V.I.P patients" Yu Yan whispered to An Ke.

" you had better be careful, if anyone hears you then you will be in trouble," An Ke whispered back to her, Alan Chen who was also present in the meeting noticed them whispering to each other then he smiled evilly as though he was about to do something she wouldn't like.

" chief surgeon it seems like surgeon Yu and surgeon An Ke have something to contribute to this meeting. Yu Yan glared at him with a helpless look on her face and bit her lower lip but she couldn't say anything at that moment.

 "do you two have anything to say," their team leader asked frowning at them.

" no, team leader" An Ye and Yu Yan answered at the same time.

"Chief surgeon, this surgery has a low success rate and it also has lots of risks attached to the surgery," the team leader of the cardiology department said.

"would you please elaborate," the chief surgeon said with his eyes fixed on her.

"I have never personally performed this surgery, but it has some possible complications such as stroke, liver failure, blood transfusion and kidney failure amongst many other complications," the team leader of the cardiology department said.

" I am aware that this surgery has been performed once in this hospital by the late surgeon Wang Wei, was anyone here involved in the surgery," the chief surgeon asked as his eyes shifted from one person to the other.

"Chief surgeon, the last surgery that was performed was an emergency, so back then Wang Wei just formed a surgical team out of the staffs that were present on that night and the assisting surgeon was Yu yan from the general surgery department," the team leader of the general surgery department said.

"Yu Yan should have been a first-year resident then how is it possible that she was the assisting surgeon," the chief surgeon said with shock written all over his face, all the staffs present in the meeting were also surprised by Yu Yan's involvement in the surgery which was a complex surgery, the surgery that was performed back then wasn't given much attention since the patient was not important to the hospital but surgeon Wang Wei never cared about the social status of his patients, he treated them equally and that was why such a major surgery was performed with a first-year resident like Yu Yan.

" Chief director, although Yu Yan is just a second-year resident in the general surgery department, her surgery skills are far above any that I have ever seen including her speed," her team leader said in support of yu yan.

The chief director looked at yu yan with a look that indicated that he was waiting for her to speak for herself, her eyes met his gaze by mistake then she realized what he meant...

" Chief director, although I am working in the general surgery department, I am very confident that I can perform the surgery without any complication" yu yan said hoping that the chief director will appoint her as the surgeon in charge of the surgery, which is quite an unusual thing, such a complex surgery is supposed to be performed by a specialist surgeon but if she really performs the surgery then it would be a shock to them.

" I don't think it is appropriate to let a general surgeon perform such a major heart surgery," Yue Ling said, she is also one of the surgeons in the hospital with high social status, like Xiaomeng she also dislikes yu yan and she has a crush on Alan Chen which makes Yu Yan her enemy.

"Are there are any other cardiologists who are experienced in performing this surgery or have witnessed a similar surgery?" the chief surgeon asked as he looked around, shifting his gaze from one person to another.

" Yue ling is the most skilled surgeon amongst the young surgeons in the cardiology department, I recommend her as the surgeon in charge," the director of the cardiology department said.

" since the director of the cardiology department has said so, Yue ling is the surgeon in charge while yu yan will be the first assisting surgeon, the second assisting surgeon is Surgeon Xiao Qi from the cardiology department, I will put together the rest of the surgical team later, i will hold another meeting next week but, your positions are temporary, if there are any better options than the three of you, your positions will be changed, in the meanwhile, you should find more resources on this condition, " the chief director said as he stood up to leave the meeting room.

" that Yue Ling is so annoying, who does she think she is, even if she is the best surgeon in the cardiology department she is still not as good as you, " An Ke said with her lips pouted

"If not for that useless Alan she would have no reason to dislike me, I don't really care about people like her and her so-called crush because I can't understand why she would fall in love with someone like that, she is too good for him but she doesn't realize it," Yu yan said with her hands in her pocket.

" That son of a bitch is so relentless, even though he knows you have a boyfriend he is still bugging you, these days you are so gentle, I guess that is why he is still messing with you," An Ke said then she balled her hand into a fist and punched into the air.

"If not because I was thinking of Chen kai all the time he was disturbing me and the fact that he is my senior at work, I would have beaten the hell out of him," Yu Yan said, they had almost entered the elevator when they heard a voice behind them.

" Yu Yan" Xiaoqi who had just been appointed as the second assisting surgeon shouted.

They both looked back to see who had just shouted yu yan's name, they both smiled after seeing that it was Xiaoqi.

" it has been so long since we last operated together I am so happy that we are together in this surgery and you are looking extremely beautiful today," Xiaoqi said as she smiled cheerfully displaying her white set of teeth.

" Thanks, it has really been a long time, if you have time this evening why don't you join us to celebrate our friends who are coming back from their training, we were in the same class back then too," Yu Yan said.

" wow are they really back, of course, I am coming along, so if I hadn't come to talk to you, you wouldn't have informed me, no wonder you are so elegantly dressed today," Xiao Qi said with a slightly angry look on her face.

"I am sorry, it really skipped our mind since we don't see you every day," An Ke said.

" apology accepted, so where is the celebration taking place," Xiaoqi asked.

"The party will take place at Jia Yu's villa, you can just come with me in my car after our shift is over," Yu Yan said.

" Okay then, I will meet you by six pm, I have emergency outing clothes in my office so I don't need to go back home," Xiaoqi said then she waved her hands at them and walked away while they entered the elevator.
