Chen Cang and Zheng Guotan helped Qin Xiang into the car and were about to leave when they suddenly saw the bald man from earlier hurrying over.

Running over while gasping for breath, he came up and said panting, “Oh dear, look at my memory, I’m really getting old!”

“This must be Doctor Chen, right? I’m Yang Tao, here is my business card. Let’s keep in touch, and by the way, how should I address you?”

This time, Chen Cang kept his cool, looking at the business card that read Yang Tao: Director of Dermatology at the Municipal People’s Hospital, also the Dean of Shumei Cosmetic Hospital.

Chen Cang smiled and said, “I’m Chen Cang, from the Second Provincial Hospital.”

Yang Tao immediately got excited and said, “Okay, then I won’t disturb Doctor Chen anymore. I’ll visit the Second Hospital when I have time. Call me if you need anything.”

After finishing, Yang Tao smiled at Zheng Guotan, exchanged contact information with Chen Cang, greeted them, and then left.

Watching the others leave, Zheng Guotan turned to Chen Cang and said, “It was really tough on Doctor Chen today. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known how to explain myself!”

So many explanations, President Zheng, your family sure has a lot to account for.

Chen Cang smiled and replied, “No trouble at all, just doing what I can.”

Zheng Guotan sighed, “Ah… every family has their own tough scripture to chant!”

Chen Cang suddenly realized that Zheng Guotan’s question marks had finally appeared!

[Ding! Zheng Guotan is somewhat troubled. By having a heartfelt talk with Zheng Guotan, you can obtain a mission from the high-level NPC Zheng Guotan.]

Chen Cang was taken aback and then accepted the mission.

Chen Cang chuckled, “In this life, we’re all just walking the long road of life, tasting the sour, bitter, sweet, spicy, and salty. The good and the bad, we’ll experience them all.”

Zheng Guotan immediately smiled, “You’re quite philosophical for someone so young!”

Chen Cang also smiled, “The emergency department of the hospital sees a lot of life and death, as well as the full range of human emotions. Keeping things simple is true, passion is true, and so are the ups and downs—as long as you live your days well, isn’t that enough? Everyone has their problems, right?”

Suddenly, Zheng Guotan turned around, “Little Chen, I actually have another favor to ask of you. Come back to my house with me.”

Chen Cang was startled, “Isn’t this your house?”

Zheng Guotan gave an embarrassed smile, “That is what feels like home.”

After saying goodbye to Xu Ruoyun and leaving instructions with the housekeeper, Zheng Guotan personally drove Chen Cang out of the villa. After driving for more than half an hour, they arrived at a high-end community.

This was the most expensive community in Anyang City, with a price of more than thirty thousand per square meter.

After entering the door, a woman’s voice rang out.

“Honey, you’re back?”

Chen Cang looked in the direction of the voice and saw an average-looking middle-aged woman in an apron, holding a rag and standing there. Seeing Zheng Guotan come in, she hurriedly brought over slippers.

Zheng Guotan introduced her, “This is my wife, Zhang Aixiang. Darling, this is Doctor Chen.”

The woman hurriedly smiled and grabbed slippers for Chen Cang.

The house was very clean, not a speck of dust in sight, and the decor was not extravagant but rather cozy, giving off the feeling of a home.

Chen Cang quickly greeted, “Nice to meet you, sister-in-law.”

The woman smiled and said, “Come in, I’ll make some tea.”

Zheng Guotan took off his suit, hung it up, and said, “Honey, make us something to eat, we haven’t had dinner yet.”

The woman nodded with a smile, “Alright!”

As the two of them sat down, Chen Cang grew curious. Zheng Guotan’s wife, Zhang Aixiang, seemed very… amiable, not like someone capable of those deeds?

And with such a good wife, he still went looking for actresses.

Chen Cang shook his head, deciding not to think about the reasons any longer. Other people’s family affairs were not his to meddle in! After all, he was just a doctor.

Sitting there drinking tea, the two chatted casually about this and that, avoiding serious matters, and after half an hour, three dishes were served, smelling delightful.

The simple home-cooked dishes were laid out, and the pair started eating, when Chen Cang noticed for the first time a long scar on Zhang Aixiang’s forehead.

Usually, Zhang Aixiang’s bangs covered it, but just then, it had become visible.

The scar was long, stretching across the entire forehead, and Chen Cang was taken aback by its ferocity.

Zhang Aixiang seemed to realize and, feeling awkward, hurriedly brushed her hair to cover it up.

At that moment, Zheng Guotan smiled and said, “Wife, don’t be scared, this is the doctor I found to treat your condition.”

Chen Cang was startled and quickly objected, “This, Mr. Zheng, I really can’t help with this, I really don’t know how to perform this surgery…”

Indeed, what was needed for such an old scar was not just stitching, but involved the whole skin flap issue, and also many factors related to facial nerves. He… he was still far from capable!

Zheng Guotan spoke slowly, “The situation is this: I have found an American team to perform the surgery, so don’t worry. What you need to do is just the skin suturing. How about it? I won’t blame you whether it’s successful or not!”

“The surgery isn’t now but in six months’ time. By then, I hope you can help me.”

Ding! Senior NPC Zheng Guotan has issued a task: Participate in Zhang Aixiang’s surgery in six months. Regardless of the outcome, accept to receive rewards: 1. One special training card; 2. A random Skill Book; 3. Experience +3000.

Chen Cang was stunned!

Who would have thought the rewards would be so generous?

What is a special training card for?

Seeing Chen Cang’s hesitation, Zheng Guotan pleaded earnestly, “Dr. Chen, please, my wife… I truly hope she can regain her confidence.”

Chen Cang looked at Zheng Guotan’s expression, which was almost like a different person compared to when he was at the villa.

At the villa, Zheng Guotan had been distressed about Xu Ruoyun, whereas at home, it was the deeply loved Zhang Aixiang.

After thinking it over for a while, Chen Cang eventually nodded, “Okay, call me when the time comes.”

Zheng Guotan was immediately overjoyed, “Alright, then we will be troubling Dr. Chen. Both my wife and I are truly grateful to you.”

Ding! Your favorability with Zheng Guotan has increased by +20!

Chen Cang was astonished, gaining 20 points of favorability just like that?

Zheng Guotan was a high-level NPC, and favorability points were quite precious.

At this point, Zheng Guotan got up and after about a minute, he took out a mooncake box with his left hand and held a stack of money in his right, handing it over, “Dr. Chen, you really put in hard work this morning. Please, take this money.”

Chen Cang, seeing so much money, was dumbfounded. How much was in that stack, at least several tens of thousands?

Without saying anything, after the meal, Chen Cang smiled and said to Zhang Aixiang, “Sister-in-law, thanks for the hospitality, the food was great. I have to go back to work this afternoon, so I won’t disturb you any longer.”

Zhang Aixiang smiled gently, not saying much.

To be honest, it was a bit too much money. It was Chen Cang’s first time doing such work, and facing so much money, he felt somewhat at a loss, even though even specialists from the capital coming to Dongyang Province would earn only about ten or twenty thousand, right?

It was too much!

Chen Cang wasn’t unaware of the going rates, but… it was his first time facing so much money, and he felt somewhat… conflicted.

Seeing Chen Cang getting up, Zheng Guotan also stood up and insisted on handing the mooncake box to Chen Cang, “Take it.”

Chen Cang shook his head, “It’s too much!”

Zheng Guotan’s face stiffened, “Dr. Chen, you saw the people this morning, right? They ask for much more! If their skills are worth that price, yours aren’t?”

“Your suturing skills are worth at least this much! Dr. Chen, I see this as a long-term investment. If you don’t accept it, I’ll feel guilty when you do the suturing for my wife in the future!”
