Anything said at this moment would seem inadequate.
Lu Ziyang remained silent, letting her snot and tears smear onto his clothes.
She freed one hand to send a message to Jiang Qi.
"Professor Jiang, could you please come to the hospital? I'll handle the hospital issues. As long as you agree to the surgery, I'll cover the funding for your research project."
Jiang Qi replied with an emoji.
If there is no refusal, then there is room for negotiation.
"You can make any other requests you have. As long as the Li family can fulfill them, I will agree."
Send someone to pick me up.
Lu Ziyang smiled slightly, notified Lin Xuan, put away his phone, and cupped Song Nuan's tear-streaked face in his hands.
Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, he said gently, "Go wash your face. Professor Jiang has agreed to come, but you still need to persuade Qin Yuchuan."
Song Nuan was overjoyed.
They rushed into the restroom to quickly tidy themselves up, and then returned to the operating room entrance on the third floor.
Song Ningxue was nowhere to be seen.
Song Nuan wasn't in the mood to ask about her whereabouts. Just as she was about to speak to Qin Yuchuan, the operating room door suddenly opened.
Doctors and nurses came out.
Song Nuan subconsciously looked up and saw that the operating room light was still on, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Family members, right?"
Wearing a mask, the doctor's voice sounded somewhat muffled, "The surgery isn't over yet, but the patient's condition isn't good. You need to be prepared."
Song Nuan's face turned deathly pale.
Qin Yuchuan jumped up, his face full of anger. "What do you mean? Didn't you say there was a 25% success rate? The surgery isn't even over yet, how can you announce the result already?"
He was almost about to take action.
Fortunately, Lu Ziyang was quick-witted and subdued him in no time.
"Lu Ziyang, let me go!" Qin Yuchuan's eyes turned red as he struggled fiercely, but his strength was no match for Lu Ziyang's, and he was held down tightly.
The doctor shook his head regretfully.
Lu Ziyang said, "Tell your vice president that we need to change the chief surgeon."
The current surgeon is also the vice president of the hospital.
Having a high enough rank and position means having enough authority to decide on changing the surgeon.
"Lu Ziyang, are you crazy?!" Qin Yuchuan roared.
His roar echoed through the quiet corridor.
Lu Ziyang struck Qin Yuchuan on the back of the neck with a palm strike. In an instant, Qin Yuchuan's scalp went numb, as if all his strength had been drained away, and his head felt heavy.
"If you want Qin Guangsheng to live, don't be so presumptuous."
He coldly rebuked, then looked at the doctor, "Professor Jiang told your vice president on his way here that the Li family would handle the medical malpractice, so there's no need to worry."
Professor Jiang, Li family.
There is absolutely no need to hesitate when putting these two words together.
The doctor turned and went into the operating room.
Song Nuan stared blankly at Lu Ziyang, "You and the Li family..."
"I just said it offhand. If I hadn't said that, they wouldn't have agreed to change the surgeon. Even if we brought in Professor Jiang, it wouldn't have mattered. Special cases must be handled specially."
He was exceptionally calm, and his strong facial features highlighted his maturity and composure.
Song Nuan felt as if something had lightly punched her chest.
Qin Yuchuan suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Dare to try and frame the Li family? You're simply ignorant of your own limitations. I'll wait and see what happens to you."
Are you out of your mind?
Song Nuan couldn't help but scold him, saying that saying he was mentally ill was too lenient a statement.
"That's Uncle Qin lying in there, your father. Lu Ziyang helped you, and you're not grateful, but why are you here making sarcastic remarks and kicking him when he's down?"
Qin Yuchuan was speechless.
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Lin Xuan and Jiang Qi stepped out.
"Professor Jiang!" Song Nuan exclaimed excitedly.
Lu Ziyang nodded slightly to him, quietly raised his index finger, placed it between his lips, and pointed at Song Nuan.
Jiang Qi nodded. "Where is the sterile room?"
The nurse took Jiang Qi over.
The surgery continued for a long time, until exactly 4 p.m., when the lights were suddenly turned off.
A group of people stood up instantly.
Jiang Qi was helped out by two doctors. His steps were unsteady, and even though he was wearing wide-legged trousers, it was clear that his legs were trembling. His body seemed to have reached its limit.
Song Nuan saw this and felt complicated.
She remembered that Jiang Qi hadn't been on the operating table for a long time because of his age.
"Professor Jiang, how did the surgery go?"
No one spoke, so Lu Ziyang asked the question on their behalf.
Song Nuan and Qin Yuchuan both stared intently at Jiang Qi.
A burning gaze, filled with worry and anticipation.
"The surgery was a success."
The vice president slowly emerged from the operating room, removed his mask, and smiled, "If you hadn't invited Professor Jiang, the surgery would probably have ended in failure. You are very lucky."
The worry between Song Nuan's brows instantly vanished. "That's great!"
Qin Yuchuan silently lowered his head.
A complex mix of emotions welled up inside him; he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He felt happy, yet also depressed and embarrassed.
Jiang Qi couldn't withstand such intense physical exertion, so the vice president quickly had someone help him to rest.
Before leaving, Jiang Qi reminded Lu Ziyang, "Now that the person is alive, don't forget what you promised me."
"Don't worry."
In those few words, Qin Yuchuan gleaned many insights.
Perhaps it was Qin Guangsheng's near-death experience due to his blind arrogance that made him feel frustrated, or perhaps it was Lu Ziyang's composure and strategic planning that aroused his jealousy.
He sneered and said coolly, "You call yourself a top medical expert, but saving lives is all about exchanging favors."
Song Nuan rolled her eyes dramatically.
The medical staff who had not yet left looked increasingly grim upon hearing this.
"Professor Jiang is already eighty years old. Have you paid attention to how long he was in the operating room? Lu Ziyang is even more responsible as a son than you are. Qin Yuchuan, you have really disappointed me."
In front of everyone, Song Nuan launched into a tirade.
The medical staff's complexions finally improved.
But it was Qin Yuchuan's turn to turn pale.
Song Nuan was too lazy to pay attention to him. After arranging the follow-up matters, she originally wanted to personally send Jiang Qi back, but the vice dean took the initiative and took on the task first.
So she went back with Lu Ziyang.
After a long day of tension, Song Nuan finally relaxed and realized that her stomach was empty and she was very hungry.
"Don't take me back, go to your place instead," she said.
Lu Ziyang glanced at her, raised an eyebrow and teased, "I'm willing to repay you with my body, but I won't accept a one-time offer."
"Can you vent your dirty thoughts?" Song Nuanqi laughed. "I'm hungry, can I come to your place for a meal?"
Lu Ziyang smiled inwardly.
On their way there, the two stopped at the supermarket to buy groceries.
I got back to the garden around 5 p.m.
Song Nuan wanted to help out, but Lu Ziyang firmly refused to let her touch anything.
"You've had a long day. Go rest on the sofa for a bit. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
The long-lost feeling of being cared for warmed Song Nuan's heart, and in fact, not only her heart, but her whole body felt comfortable.
Perhaps the weight on my heart has been lifted.
In short, Qin Guangsheng's matter caused Lu Ziyang a great debt of gratitude.
From what Professor Jiang just said, it seems that Lu Ziyang promised him something before he came to perform the surgery.
"Lu Ziyang, what did you trade with Professor Jiang?"
