Only a few days after the gathering, President Qian called Lu Mo for help because Qian Manyu's plans to go to the United States were brought forward, and she would no longer take on surgeries. President Qian had finally managed to persuade his mother, but Qian Manyu refused to take over.
Lu Mo told Ye Qingqing about this, and President Qian's idea was to ask Ye Qingqing to talk to her old classmate about whether she could spare some time to perform the surgery on his mother, as he didn't trust other doctors.
“He was quite worried before, but it’s just a routine surgery. The doctors arranged by Meng’s Hospital are definitely fine. What’s there to worry about?” Ye Qingqing said, too lazy to reply.
Mr. Qian felt that his mother's surgery was very important, which was understandable. However, in reality, Mrs. Qian's craniotomy was just a minor procedure. Any doctor in the neurosurgery department of Meng's Hospital could have handled it, and even neurosurgeons from other ordinary hospitals would have been fine. Ye Qingqing felt that there was no need to go to Qian Manyu for this.
“I understand the family’s feelings. You praised Qian Manyuo so highly before, so naturally President Qian will only believe her. Why don’t you call and ask Qian Manyuo if she can still find the time to take over? If not, then forget it,” Lu Mo advised.
Although Mr. Qian is not good to his wife and has a lot of bad habits, he is extremely loyal. Lu Mo still wants to help him out, since Mr. Qian has now pledged allegiance to him, and he should help with this small matter if he can.
"Okay, I'll call and ask."
Ye Qingqing called Qian Manduo and asked directly, "Do you have time?"
“There’s still time for the surgery. My flight is the day after tomorrow, so let’s schedule the surgery for tomorrow. This family is strange; they wouldn’t have the surgery before, but now they’re in such a hurry.” Qian Manduo readily agreed.
She wouldn't agree to this with anyone else, because she would be staying in the US for three months. Before each trip, she would rest at home for a few days and spend time with her daughter and family. She wouldn't give face to anyone, but Ye Qingqing was an exception.
"You're still so foolish, thinking that having a knife in your head is going to kill you. Thank you so much. I'll treat your family to a meal when you get back to China," Ye Qingqing said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll call the hospital and have the old lady admitted for a check-up today. She should be fine; she just had a check-up last week."
Ye Qingqing hung up the phone and gave Lu Mo an OK sign. "Tell President Qian that I'll be hospitalized for a check-up today, and if there are no problems, I'll have the surgery tomorrow."
Lu Mo called President Qian, who was extremely grateful and showered him with compliments.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and take the old lady to the hospital," Lu Mo said irritably.
"Oh, please thank Madam for me. I'll treat you and Madam to dinner another day. Oh, it's so easy to get things done when you have connections. I was begging and pleading with the hospital, but they just wouldn't budge. I've talked myself hoarse."
Mr. Qian complained that the hospital was strictly business as it was, and they didn't care who he was. They wouldn't make any exceptions, but Ye Qingqing solved everything with just one phone call. It's true that having connections in high places makes things easier!
Ye Qingqing had to go to work the next day. Since she knew about this, she went to see the old lady for Lu Mo's sake. The surgery was scheduled for the morning and would take at least four hours, and six or seven hours was also normal. Surgeons need to have excellent physical strength, otherwise who could stand for several hours at a time?
After seeing all the patients in the morning, it was already one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Ye Qingqing didn't see any patients in the afternoon. She took off her white coat, changed into her regular clothes, and went to the operating room. Mr. and Mrs. Qian were waiting at the entrance of the operating room, along with some other people, both old and young, who were probably Mr. Qian's relatives.
Upon seeing Ye Qingqing, Mr. and Mrs. Qian immediately came over to greet her and expressed their gratitude.
