Chapter 1452: Chapter 1080 Chapter 1452: Chapter 1080 Robert’s older brother’s clinic is now incredibly popular, with countless pennants received. Every doctor and nurse in Robert’s Clinic is now proficient in Chinese. Robert is most satisfied with the name he chose for the clinic, saying it has a great charm and is truly a stroke of genius.

Takahashi is now preparing to succeed Fujiwara Masao as the head of Tokyo University Orthopedics, having previously been the least favored candidate by Fujiwara, whose choice was Sasaki. However, recently Takahashi’s outstanding performance has made Fujiwara see him in a new light.

Li Min’s one-year advanced training is not yet complete, but through hard work, he has mastered many basic surgeries, personally taught by Yang Ping. Now, he takes two days off each week, Saturday and Sunday, and often rushes back to his original unit, Guandu Hospital, to perform surgeries during his days off. This way, he can both delay the advanced training and fulfill certain surgical requirements for his original unit.

After checking his emails and taking a short break, Yang Ping left the director’s office and went to the doctors’ office, where everyone was gathered eating fruit.

“Professor Yang, come here, I couldn’t find you just now. I came over especially to thank everyone, please enjoy some fruit,” Wei Danian said, standing up immediately and pointing to the freshly washed variety of fruits.

Wei Danian has already been discharged from the General Surgery Department. He is quite enthusiastic, not only buying fruit baskets for the General Surgery Department but also putting together a huge fruit basket to bring over to the Surgical Research Institute to thank Yang Ping.

“Wei Danian, you’ve been discharged, haven’t you? And still being so polite, inviting us for fruit? I’ve had a toothache these past few days; I can’t eat it, but thank you very much,” Yang Ping said while shaking his hand.

Since Yang Ping had a toothache, Wei Danian didn’t insist. In fact, Yang wasn’t really suffering from a toothache; Manager Qiu recently upgraded his security measures, and the security team expanded significantly, though it wasn’t apparent on the surface. Now, Yang couldn’t just eat anything from outside; all his food had to be tested first. Even when he goes to Nandu Affiliated Hospital No.1, he can’t dine out when his father-in-law treats. As his status rises, so do his problems, and his freedom of movement is completely gone. However, it’s also good because Yang Ping prefers a simple life and can spend all his time on treating and saving patients.

“Professor Yang, you are amazing. I heard the doctors and nurses in the General Surgery Department will soon nominate you for academician. You’re so young and already an academician. It seems I’m only short of a spinal cord compared to you; now I don’t even know where I work,” Wei Danian said, naive and childlike, speaking without any guile.

Song Zimo, having just finished an apple and wiping his hands, smiled and said, “You shouldn’t have to worry about work, right? I remember you seem to be a landlord’s son–the kind who goes around with a set of keys and a satchel to collect rent.”

“My dad takes me to collect rent every month, it’s exhausting with so many properties to remember, I don’t want to take after him in such a boring and brain-wracking job. I want to be a chef, wearing the chef’s clothes, donning a chef’s hat, tossing pans with one hand and wielding a spatula with the other, how cool is that!” Wei Danian said, full of aspiration, as if he were actually cooking at that moment.

Being a chef? Then your weight loss surgery would be pointless, Xu Zhiliang thought as he looked at Wei Danian’s excited face about the topic of chefs, feeling concerned for him.

“Wei Danian, you’re not going for the best job in the world–the landlord–but you want to be a chef?” Zhang Lin looked at him in surprise, picking some fruit to send to pediatrics for his wife by an intern.

“You don’t understand, I’m a person with ideals too, I’ve decided, I can’t be so degenerate, I must have a proper job,” Wei Danian said excitedly.

After Wei Danian said this, those eating fruit nearly spit it out in laughter. Was that even a human speech?

“Did you study culinary arts?” Little Five asked him.

“I’ve loved watching people cook since I was young. After graduating high school, I went to a vocational school to study culinary arts, and now I plan to apprentice with a master chef who is getting old and whose children don’t want to learn his craft; he wants to take on an apprentice,” Wei Danian said proudly.

“Then when you open your restaurant, just open it next to our hospital. Look how good business is for the restaurants here,” Li Guodong suggested
Wei Danian shook his head, “I’m not opening a restaurant, I like cooking, I don’t like running a restaurant, it’s too troublesome and carries financial risks. I’d rather work for someone else.”

Fatty really has some thoughts; he might look like a big kid, but inside he really has his own opinions, which made everyone have to change their view of Wei Danian.

Liang Fatty came down from the ward to discuss anesthesia and sign consent forms for the patients scheduled for surgery tomorrow. Hearing that Wei Danian had stomach surgery, he asked, “How do you feel? No discomfort, right?”

“The first day after surgery, my stomach was a bit bloated, but it went away the next day, and now there’s no discomfort even after removing the stitches,” Wei Danian replied.

“Did you ever try weight loss drugs before the surgery?” Liang Fatty sat down to talk with Wei Danian, as he was also on a diet; the two could exchange experiences.

“I tried them, Simeglutide and Terpolptide, but because my obesity was too severe, these didn’t work. Yet I wanted to lose weight quickly, so I felt surgery was more effective,” Wei Danian shared his challenging journey of losing weight.

Liang Fatty’s dieting approach now involves diet and exercise, starting to show results with a loss of over twenty pounds. He runs daily and strictly controls his diet, continuing at this pace, there’s a good chance he will achieve a normal physique.

“So, should I also go for a stomach surgery one day?” Liang Fatty casually mentioned.

Zhou Can, who came down to eat fruits too, immediately responded: “You’re not severely obese like that guy, and other methods haven’t failed you yet. Why the rush? Surgeries always come with risks.”

“I was just saying. I’ll stick to dieting and exercising,” Liang Fatty quickly retorted.

“Fatty, wanna go for barbecue tonight, maybe grab some beers?” Zhang Lin draped an arm around Liang Fatty. Zhang Lin, Little Five, and Liang Fatty were close buddies and often hung out together.

Fatty glanced at Zhou Can: “Don’t tempt me. I got gout and I’m on a diet, how can I go eat late-night snacks?”

“Fatty, what’s with you? For real, being this disciplined?” Zhang Lin and Little Five couldn’t believe it. Before, if they invited Fatty for barbecue, he would half-heartedly refuse, but after a little nudge, he’d be eager to join. Now it seems he’s serious.

“Really not going? You sure?” Little Five asked again.

“Nope!” Right then, an intern brought in some medical records, and Liang Fatty bent his head pretending to read them.

“Hello, Grandma!” Wei Danian answered his grandma’s call and switched on speakerphone.

“Why haven’t you returned yet? Weren’t you discharged earlier? Hurry up and come back.”

“I’m on my way now.”

“Danian, don’t sneak any food on your way, you just had surgery and need to watch your diet. Also, stay safe and don’t talk to strangers, there are human traffickers everywhere these days.”

“I know, Grandma.”

Wei Danian realized he was on speakerphone and immediately turned it off.

Wei Danian is already in his mid-twenties, why would he still fear human traffickers? Everyone was surprised once again.
