Chapter 29: Chapter 29: You’ll be the Assistant Surgeon for This Operation

"Tomorrow, huh..."

Looking at the hospital details sent by Tian on the messaging page, Ji Yu flipped through them with a furrow between her brows.

Based on Dion’s medical report, it was clear that Dion’s current physical data was not promising.

Now, the other party’s management company was contacting her to discuss his surgery—this was outright unreasonable!

Although Ji Yu was not the hospital’s chief surgeon, she had been exposed to extensive specialized knowledge during her time as a medical student.

As one of the prized students fought over by many professors, Ji Yu had gained deep expertise across various medical fields.

Precisely for this reason, upon reading Dion’s pathology report, her reaction was so sharp.

Dion...

"Dion shouldn’t even be awake right now, let alone out of immediate danger..."

While thinking, Ji Yu started searching for more information related to Dion on the internet.

It didn’t take long for buzzwords about Dion to climb to the trending list online.

#DionTheAgelessGod#

#AgelessGodCarAccident#

#AgelessGodStillInDanger#

#DionDead#

Reading the mix of truths and falsehoods on the internet, Ji Yu felt a headache coming on.

"Could Dion’s management team possibly think their fame alone justifies stirring up trouble to cash in?"

The improbable thought surfaced in her mind, surprising Ji Yu enough to shake her head.

No way!

Dion already had millions in insurance coverage—not to mention his face.

There’s absolutely no need to come after her for anything.

With this in mind, Ji Yu ignored the online chatter and began drafting surgical plans addressing potential issues with Dion.

Given that Dion’s situation was still not entirely clear, Ji Yu considered multiple possibilities while preparing the plans.

If the accident caused trauma to Dion’s facial features, facial reconstruction work could prove challenging.

If the goal was merely aesthetic continuity, techniques resembling special effects could be considered to enhance appearance; however, this would require periodic adjustments and replacements.

If the accident had involved severe burns, then skin grafting would naturally be the first choice.

Following the grafts, adjustments would be made based on Dion’s recovery progress and facial nerve compatibility with the transplanted skin to ensure postoperative facial restoration.

From the moment Tian sent her the details, Ji Yu spent the entire night revisiting and refining her plans.

Even when Feng Qinqin, after work, had suggested they go to Moon together, Ji Yu had refused without hesitation.

"Didn’t you make up with Cai Xun? Let Cai Xun go with you—I have an important client, and I need to prepare the plans in advance."

"Yeah, things seem a bit tricky right now..."

Upon hearing it was something work-related for Ji Yu, Feng Qinqin didn’t ask further. She simply gave a few brief reminders to take care and rest before heading off to Moon for drinks.

As for Ji Yu, she worked alone on refinements, busy until the sky turned pale with dawn.

Watching the sky outside change from crimson to white, Ji Yu organized all the finalized plans and sent them to Tian.

Afterward, she went to the rest area inside her office, barely wasting a moment before lying down and falling asleep.

Before her wedding, back when her practice "Re-Begin" was still in its early stages, Ji Yu had often worked late into the night.

Because of this, her office had always been equipped with a private rest area.

It was designed to ensure she could catch up on rest whenever her workload kept her up too late.

Tian saw Ji Yu’s message at around 10 a.m., well into her workday. After dealing with Re-Begin’s morning administrative tasks, she finally had time to look at her phone.

Following Ji Yu’s instructions, Tian printed and organized all the plans Ji Yu sent her, and then, as an extra step, ordered lunch for Ji Yu based on her usual preferences.

Dion’s agent, Sister Yan, was scheduled to visit Re-Begin at 3 p.m. to discuss Dion’s surgery with Ji Yu. Since Ji Yu had sent the plans so early, it was obvious she had pulled another all-nighter.

Having witnessed Ji Yu’s relentless drive during their student days, Tian wasn’t surprised; she even considered it routine.

"Still, I should remind Sister Yu—staying up like this just for a challenging or troublesome client isn’t sustainable..."

Having finished her tasks, Tian murmured to herself while double-checking the arrangements for Sister Yan’s visit that afternoon.

After that, Tian returned to her assistant duties.

Meanwhile, Ji Yu slept soundly, undisturbed by any worries, yet elsewhere, in Doctor Song’s department, Song Xuan had another meltdown about unrelated news concerning Gu Qixiao.

"Impossible, it’s absolutely impossible!"

"That bitch must be jealous of me! Xiao must be thinking that way too."

"No! Xiao, you must have been threatened by her, weren’t you?!"

In her spiral of paranoia, Song Xuan refused to listen to anyone around her, further worsening Gu Qixiao’s mood, already dampened by repeated losses in his encounters with Ji Yu.

He truly couldn’t understand why women were so exasperating.

Ji Yu was overly clever and cautious, leaving him stumbling every time he dealt with her. Song Xuan, on the other hand, was stupid and obnoxiously loud, yet dealing with her was unavoidable because of Song Tingdong...

Gripped with frustration over the entire situation, Gu Qixiao finally reached his limit with Song Xuan’s nonsense.

"Enough! Doctor Ji has laid out all her reports—everything is backed by evidence and is unequivocal."

His sharp rebuke stunned Song Xuan into a brief silence.

Gu Qixiao wasted no time, saying firmly:

"Since you seem to love staying at the hospital so much, Assistant Li, arrange for Miss Song to undergo half a year of recovery and rest here."

Before leaving, he specifically instructed that Song Xuan behave and stay quiet if she wanted him to help find an appropriate doctor for her.

Gu Qixiao’s fury left Song Xuan thoroughly shaken. For now, at least, she dared not provoke him further.

Though short bursts of meltdowns weren’t uncommon at the hospital, compared with the previous incidents, Assistant Li was capable of handling them on his own.

Ji Yu woke up at 1:10 p.m., refreshed, and after completing her routines, she sat down to enjoy lunch pre-ordered by Tian.

While eating, she casually chatted with Tian about future career plans...

"Tian, have you ever thought about performing surgery on a patient yourself?"

Operating on patients was Tian’s dream when she had applied to medical school and studied plastic surgery, but after graduation, reality had kept her from achieving it.

Years of work as an assistant had dulled her ambition to see grateful smiles from patients, replacing it with a preference for reliably and quietly doing her job.

But dormant dreams die hard, and the light in Tian’s eyes when Ji Yu asked the question was undeniable.

Watching Tian’s hesitant and embarrassed expressions, Ji Yu didn’t press her further.

After finishing her meal, Ji Yu simply said, with casual ease:

"You’ll be my assistant surgeon for this operation—help me complete Dion’s surgery."
