Staring at the last, super close-up shot, she was utterly stunned.
Ling Ling snapped out of her daze and immediately switched back to the previous photos, zooming in, zooming out, zooming in, zooming out.
She couldn’t help but curse.
"What the—!"
"Tell me your sister didn’t Photoshop this!"
After receiving Song Guoguo’s confirmation,
Ling Ling took a deep breath and replied with a voice message:
"The doctor who pioneered this surgical technique is... a... ma... zing..."
"Guoguo, thank you so, so much. I’ll send the photos to my mentor right away."
"Guoguo, can you also give me real-time updates on your sister’s prognosis?"
A little while later, Ling Ling sent another message.
"Guoguo, my mentor saw the info I sent him, and he has a very high opinion of this surgical technique. Coincidentally, he’s going to Xiao City for some academic exchanges soon. He said he’ll try to find time to visit Fan City First Hospital and meet the technique’s creator."
"I’ll be coming with my mentor then. Besides, Xiao City is close to Xianglin City, and it’s been a while since we’ve hung out."
Song Guoguo was thrilled to see Ling Ling’s messages.
"Sounds great! We’ll definitely have to get together then."

「Fan City First Hospital」
After the successful surgery, Jiang Ming and the others all made a copy of the operation video to study back in their offices.
Jiang Ming also sent the video and the patient’s post-op photos to Huo Yun.
When Director Huo saw them, even he, with his usual calm demeanor, felt a surge of excitement.
’Excellent, excellent.’
’That Wu Ting has really done us proud.’
’First, the Suspended Gasless Abdominal Laparoscopic Appendectomy, and now the Wu’s Umbilical Hole Laparoscopic Appendectomy.’
’These have laid a solid foundation for my upcoming plans and arrangements.’
Previously, Huo Yun and Jiang Ming had been trying to improve and optimize surgical techniques. Now, with these two procedures at the core, everything could proceed in an orderly fashion—from promotional appearances on television programs to the preliminary work of establishing a key specialty within the hospital.
Huo Yun paid close attention to the goings-on in Fan City’s medical community.
So, of course, he was aware of Director Yao Shi’s prior criticisms and doubts regarding City First Hospital’s handling of the mass burn patient incident.
Huo Yun had been too busy to bicker with Yao Shi before. But now that Wu Ting’s surgical technique had been successfully implemented, he was determined to settle the score on Wu Ting’s behalf.
At the same time, he needed to assert their authority in Fan City’s medical community and prove that City First Hospital was still number one.
After spending a day or two on preparations and reporting to Director Tang Long, Huo Yun set his grand plan in motion.
After the regular departmental meeting, Huo Yun asked Jiang Ming, Qin Donglai, Wu Ting, and Song Qi to stay behind. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Huo Yun announced,
"Everyone here is a key member of our department’s surgical team. I’ll keep it brief. I have two announcements and some arrangements to make."
"First, our proposed topic for the *Path to Health* program has been officially confirmed. It will center on Wu Ting’s latest surgical technique: the Wu’s Umbilical Hole Laparoscopic Appendectomy. In the meantime, I need you all to gather some more relevant case photos and videos."
"Qin Donglai, you’ll be in charge of collecting and submitting the materials. Director Cai will arrange for someone to coordinate with you. Once the production team is ready, they’ll notify Wu Ting to come in for the taping."
"Second, I’m planning to organize a Fan City Medical Summit, bringing together several hospitals from across the city. The forum will focus on emergency surgery, burn surgery, critical care medicine, and laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment in general surgery."
"This summit will be jointly hosted by the Emergency Medicine Branch of the Fan City Medical Association, the Emergency Department and General Surgery Department of City First Hospital, and the General Surgery Department of the Military Hospital. We will also invite distinguished experts from City Second Hospital, the City National Hospital, and others to engage in academic exchange and discussion."
"The goal is to share new theories, technologies, and methods in our respective fields, pooling our collective wisdom to advise on and contribute to the advancement of medicine in Fan City, and to discuss the latest developments in the industry."
"The theme of this summit will be: Better Health."
Everyone was both surprised and excited as they listened to Huo Yun’s ambitious plan.
After laying out the grand vision for the summit, Huo Yun revealed his true, sharp intentions.
"Jiang Ming, I’ll contact some of the experts to organize this forum. You’ll be responsible for some of the liaison work as well."
"I have a list here. I need you to go down the list and extend the invitations."
Jiang Ming took the list and saw two names specially marked. Their attendance was mandatory.
"Director Li Baohua from City Second Hospital’s general surgery department, and Director Yao Shi?"
Jiang Ming looked up at Huo Yun, instantly understanding his director’s motive.
Huo Yun looked at the group, his gaze lingering on Wu Ting, and declared boldly,
"That Yao Shi is always online criticizing us, isn’t he?"
"I, Huo Yun, can’t just throw my weight around, and getting into a flame war online is beneath my station. So, I’ll use this summit as an opportunity. I’ll invite all the respectable experts in Fan City to get together and have a nice, thorough ’discussion.’"
"We’ll let everyone judge the situation for themselves and set the record straight for Wu Ting."
"Wu Ting, this is your task."
"First, get your paper, *The Efficacy of the Clearing Heat, Dissolving Phlegm, and Promoting Bowel Movement Method Combined with Western Medicine in Treating Post-Tracheotomy Pulmonary Infections*, ready. I’ll have it distributed at the forum."
"Also, the prognoses for our mass burn patients are becoming clear. Organize the case files for the reporter, Yang Xinghao, and prepare a presentation on Continuous Blood Purification Therapy."
"Finally, for the grand finale, you will present our two brand-new surgical techniques: the Suspended Gasless Abdominal Laparoscopic Appendectomy and the Wu’s Umbilical Hole Laparoscopic Appendectomy. Prepare a representative case study for each."
"Since City Second Hospital and their Director Yao are unconvinced, confused, and uninformed, we’re going to give them an eyeful."
"Surgeons speak with their skills, their research, and their hands—not by flapping their gums."
’Director Huo was known for being a flamethrower at academic forums, never pulling his punches. Now that he had reason on his side, was there any chance he’d let Director Yao off the hook?’
Hearing Director Huo’s plan, Jiang Ming, Song Qi, and Qin Donglai felt their blood pump with excitement.
’They had been stewing for days over all the public criticism. The thought of using this medical summit to fire back was thrilling.’
Especially now, with the stunning debut of City First Hospital’s two perfect surgical techniques!
Wu Ting, the man at the center of it all, hadn’t expected Director Huo to organize an entire medical summit just to defend his reputation and secure his future.
’This forum wasn’t just about striking back at their critics; it was a platform to push him directly into the spotlight and let him make a name for himself!’
"I understand, Director Huo. I guarantee I won’t disappoint you."
Wu Ting planned to head back immediately and start preparing the case studies and his presentation for the forum.
As Wu Ting was preparing his materials for the forum, a message came in from Shen Guofeng.
"Wu Ting, great news! Your paper has been published. A sample copy will be mailed to you shortly."
"See? When Director Shen gets involved, it’s a guaranteed success. How is your latest project coming along? Do you need me to look anything over for you?"
Anyone familiar with Professor Shen would be shocked to see Shen Guofeng fawning over Wu Ting like such a sycophant.
Wu Ting held nothing back with a sincere and respected elder like Professor Shen. He updated him on the progress of his new surgical technique and explained how Director Huo was organizing a medical summit to vindicate him.
’And the sample copy of his paper couldn’t have arrived at a better time!’
A moment later, a voice message from Shen Guofeng came through.
"Excellent! Wu Ting, your progress is beyond my expectations. This summit of yours is a fantastic idea."
"In that case, I’ll give Huo Yun a call. Looks like I’ll be crashing the party."
Of course, Shen Guofeng wasn’t going for the summit itself. He was going for Wu Ting—to back him up and help him build his prestige.
