Chapter 275: Miss Yiling is Dr. F.S?!

Even before Jian Yunnao’s surgery was completed, Dr. F.S’s name was already widely known in the industry.

However, after the successful surgery, Dr. F.S instantly became one of the most sought-after surgeons in the circle.

[Why don’t you take a guess?] Cheng Yi replied. He deliberately wanted to keep Hong Baizhang in suspense.

As Cheng Yi refused to explicitly tell him, Hong Baizhang had no choice but to obediently wait until the designated time for their meeting.

At six o’clock in the evening, Hong Baizhang arrived at the institution. He came early.

This was because the location that Cheng Yi had agreed on to have dinner with him was the cafeteria of their institution.

The standard of their institution’s cafeteria was no worse than that of a restaurant outside.

In fact, the interior decoration made it seem like a fancy, high-class restaurant.

However, the most important thing was that Jian Yiling didn’t have to go all the way to a restaurant. Eating at the cafeteria would save her a lot of time.

As soon as Hong Baizhang saw Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen, he smiled brightly before he started speaking:

“Dr. Cheng and Dr. Luo, do you want to discuss any work-related matters with me today?”

“Not so fast. Let me first introduce you to Dr. Fu Shi.”

Cheng Yi smiled. His smile was polite and courteous.

“Dr. Fu Shi? Who is Dr. Fu Shi?” Hong Baizhang asked. Although he hadn’t heard of this name, he knew that none of the researchers at the Huiling Medical Research Institution were simple.

“Oh, Dr. Fu Shi is Dr. F.S. F.S is an abbreviation.”

“Oh!” Hong Baizhang cried out in realization. “Oh my, so that’s it! It’s the renowned Dr. F.S!”

Immediately, Hong Baizhang was even more excited than when he initially arrived.

Then Hong Baizhang began to look around, “Where is Dr. F.S? Where is he right now? Why hasn’t he come yet? Is he busy with something?”

Cheng Yi replied, “She’s here already.”

“Huh? Where is he?”[1] Hong Baizhang couldn’t see any other man besides Cheng Yi in front of him.

“Here,” Jian Yiling spoke up.

Hong Baizhang looked down and saw Jian Yiling who had been following Cheng Yi.

Hong Baizhang was stunned. He held his previous posture for an entire minute before he moved and said something.

He raised his head and said to Cheng Yi, “Dr. Cheng… This… Miss Yiling is…”

“Miss Yiling is Dr. F.S.” Cheng Yi replied. He directly revealed the final answer to Hong Baizhang. He didn’t allow the man any more time to adjust to the information.

“Wait, Dr. Cheng, you must be joking! How can Miss Yiling possibly be Dr. F.S? This is impossible!”

He didn’t believe this. In fact, he couldn’t believe it at all.

“Why can’t she be Dr. F.S?”

“Because… Because…”

Right now, Hong Baizhang’s brain was a little slow. As a result, it took him a while to start listing the reasons why he thought such a situation was impossible:

“Firstly, she’s too young! She’s only fifteen years old.”

“Secondly, Miss Yiling’s brother’s surgery was done by Dr. F.S. If this is the case, then why didn’t Miss Yiling let her family know about the surgery directly? Why did she have to do something in such a complicated fashion?”

The reasons for Hong Baizhang’s disbelief were quite strong.

However, Cheng Yi immediately countered these two points. He responded in a simple and clear manner.

“Firstly, age doesn’t mean ability. Am I not younger than you?”

“Secondly, Dr. F.S’s family does not know about this. As for Mr. Yunnao’s surgery, there are separate reasons for that. It’s not convenient for me to explain it to you.”

Cheng Yi didn’t want to mention the matter in front of Jian Yiling again.

In fact, Hong Baizhang knew insider information as well. At one point in time, he had been the doctor in charge of Jian Yunnao.

“No… Dr. Cheng… This…”

Hong Baizhang still couldn’t accept this reality.

[1] He and she are pronounced the same way in Chinese. Thus, Hong Baizhang assumed that Cheng Yi meant ‘he’ instead of ‘she’.
