Chapter 155: 159 Won Who Marry into Wealthy Families (19) Chapter 155: 159 Won Who Marry into Wealthy Families (19) “Su, are you interested in taking on a highly challenging case?”
After a pleasant conversation, Director Wang suddenly said with a smile.
Su Li just smiled and did not speak, her knowing gaze making Director Wang feel sowhat embarrassed.
He was already up in years, yet still playing these little tricks, truly embarrassing himself.
But thinking of his friend’s health, he braved a thicker face and pretended not to notice the amused look on Su Li’s face.
Su Li beca famous for a surgical operation she perford while in Arica, an extrely intricate and delicate procedure that even the world-renowned Dr. Y could not claim to have perford better.
And Su Li had completed it perfectly, which is why she was so highly sought after.
How could such an excellent, promising surgeon with great practical skills not drive people wild?
No one even questioned that Su Li had achieved in three years what others might not in ten; perhaps that is the difference between talent and genius.
Being an academic researcher, Director Wang was not good at beating around the bush. Seeing that Su Li understood a hint of his aning, he straightforwardly spilled the rest of what he had to say.
“I have a friend, the most famous calligrapher in the literary world, Mr. Cong Zhengning.”
“Mr. Cong Zhengning, I’ve heard of him; he’s a remarkable elderly gentleman.”
“His heart surgery has been perford several tis already, and he can no longer withstand more external strain. There was a suitable donor available for him, but this stubborn man wouldn’t agree. He said he’s already old and that the opportunity should be given to younger people instead. He absolutely refused our suggestion.”
“Now he’s back in the hospital, and the success rate for this upcoming repair surgery is less than thirty percent. If you, Su, were to take the case, perhaps it could reach fifty percent…”
As he went on, Director Wang’s voice grew lower.
This truly was a bit of a predicant.
At most a fifty percent chance, he knew so people, concerned about their own reputation, would not take on completely unassured risks. He didn’t know if Su was also one of those who cherished their reputation—if…
Director Wang slightly furrowed his brows.
Su Li did not imdiately agree.
If the information was correct, Mr. Cong Zhengning should be from the sa clan as that top elder.
Their relationship was extrely close, yet few knew of it. Su Li only found out through Uncle Jiang inadvertently.
Knowing that the two did not share the sa surna and had quite different status and social connections, who would believe that such distant individuals could have such a relationship?
“My dictionary doesn’t include such a thing as a fifty percent probability…”
Listening to Su Li’s words, Director Wang was slightly disappointed but still showed understanding.
Who would want a blemish on their impeccable record if it failed?
Moreover, since she was here for an exchange, such a request was indeed a bit too forceful; this was his own little selfish wish.
Su Li: “If I were to take it up, it would definitely have a hundred percent success rate.”
Su Li had already reviewed Mr. Cong Zhengning’s dical case before returning to the country, or rather, it was because of him that she had taken up this exchange opportunity.
“I’ll take it.”
Director Wang’s heart, after a ride of highs and lows, was imnsely joyful; he did not mind Su Li’s arrogant tone at all. Being able to increase his friend’s chance of survival made him very happy.
As for doubting Su Li?
There was none; he had already consulted his old friend before making this decision.
The friend was curious about Su Li, given her young age, and was willing to take this risk.
“When do we start?”
Su Li knew that Mr. Cong Zhengning’s condition probably wouldn’t last long.
Indeed, Director Wang spoke in a very anxious tone, “If you’re feeling up to it, we can arrange it as soon as possible.”
“How about three days from now?”
Su Li realized the other party’s condition was dire, but she hadn’t anticipated it being so critical.
Director Wang explained that if his old friend’s condition hadn’t been so severe, they would not have resorted to desperate asures, preferring stable treatnt thods instead of putting all their hopes on a new genius—talented though she was.
Once Su Li agreed, Director Wang imdiately took her to et Mr. Cong Zhengning, seemingly unable to wait even a mont longer.
After confirming the ti and plan, the parties agreed to perform the surgery in three days; Su Li also planned to return to get herself into the best possible state.
Currently, she didn’t live with her parents but rented a small apartnt in the Huaning District, not far from the city center.
She didn’t need a large house, and requiring excellent security, Huaning District was the best choice.
Strategically located and with convenient transportation, the district mostly housed second and third-tier celebrities and models. Although reporters were a constant presence outside, its security was indeed reliable, certainly not a place anyone could just waltz into.
Thus, the price of housing there remained high.
However, Su Li was truly not short on money now. The majority of the funds she received from Yuan Qiran was used for research, and she also made various investnts which were now yielding regular returns. Therefore, money was truly not an issue for her.
She had outright bought the apartnt.
Interestingly, the apartnt she took a liking to was not far from the district where Huayin had reluctantly sold her house—just down the street.
When she returned ho, Su Li saw several missed calls on her phone, which she had set to silent.
All from Yuan Qiran.
Without rushing to call back, Su Li leisurely prepared herself a lavish dinner. Before she could start eating, her phone rang again.
As soon as she answered, Yuan Qiran’s deep, displeased voice filled her warmly decorated apartnt, casting a frosty layer over the space.
“Why did you take so long to answer the phone?”
Su Li placed the phone on the table and leisurely savored her al.
After swallowing a mouthful of food, she responded, “What’s it to you?”
Yuan Qiran almost choked on his breath.
“You…”
Initially wanting to deride her with frosty words, Yuan Qiran seed to rember that the woman he was addressing was not the one who had behaved submissively in their marriage but rather the capable and shalessly clever woman who had conned him.
Yuan Qiran took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the burgeoning irritation. Although he had sowhat restrained himself, his softened tone still instinctively commanded Su Li.
“Xinghe? Bring him out tomorrow; take him to et with Ming Ting.”
Su Li: “Xinghe? Mr. Yuan, you might be mistaken; I don’t have anyone by that na here.”
