Chapter 745: Chapter 664: The Protagonist of Street Stall Literature

Having sent off Huang Jiacai, Yang Ping took out the invitation again and called Robert and August to his office.

These two, one in Europe and the other in the United States, he wondered what they would make of this invitation.

August and Robert sat on the sofa in front of Yang Ping’s office desk. Yang Ping passed the envelope in his hand to Robert, "Can you both help me examine this invitation? It mentions a Russian plastic surgery specialist. Rumor has it that he’s the highest paid surgeon in the black market. He charges millions, tens of millions, even up to a billion US dollars per surgery. Does this person really exist?"

Robert pulled the invitation from the envelope. It was a straightforward bilingual invitation in Chinese and English, nothing special. However, a logo inside the envelope immediately caught Robert’s attention, a circular pattern evolved from a single snake stick.

It’s an invitation from the Canadian Langnaife Company, no doubt about it.

Robert himself was a contracted doctor with this company, but only a B-class contract. The company is a low-key secretive medical technology firm, with extensive and in-depth collaborations with top-tier doctors worldwide.

The doctors contracted with them are divided into B-class and A-class contracts, with the former being ordinary contracts, and the latter being core contracts.

Even B-class contracts are only eligible for world-class doctors, whereas A-class contracts are extremely rare, for instance, the legendary top expert from Germany, Schalit, is rumored to be under an A-class contract with the company.

If it’s an invitation from this company, the Russian plastic surgeon mentioned must be the famous Professor Ivan.

"The chief surgeon they mentioned here is indeed the legendary Russian plastic surgery specialist known as Dr. Ivan. His real life story has been adapted into many street literature, and it’s been made more and more mythical over time," Robert was somewhat familiar with him.

Turns out it was not all romance novels creating fictions out of thin air, the stories were originally based on the actual experiences of this professor. Yang Ping had never imagined that Dr. Ivan was a real person.

"Does there really exist such thing as black market surgery in the world?"

Yang Ping was confused as to how surgical operations, which are part of medical practices, could possibly be conducted on the black market.

Robert passed the envelope to August and nodded, "Ordinary surgeries couldn’t make it to the black market. However, two types of surgeries indeed exist in the black market, one being plastic surgery and the other organ transplant. These surgeries are carried out in the dark due to various reasons. For instance, some criminals seek plastic surgery in order to evade pursuit; they wouldn’t be able to undergo these surgeries openly. And organ transplants might involve illegal organ trafficking, which also needs to be done in the dark."

"But the surgery they’re inviting you for is definitely not one of those black-market surgeries. If I’m not mistaken, this surgery is a super-large scale operation organized by the Langnaife Company. Only this company can ensure its success because they can mobilize top-notch medical resources worldwide. This surgery might involve techniques not approved by any country’s laws, therefore, they’ve found an unusual way to perform surgery on a medical ship in international waters. This approach mainly avoids legal issues and is a usual tactic by Langnaife."

"These medical ships are extremely expensive to build, costing tens of billions of US dollars. With its operating rooms, equipment and medical teams, it eclipses even the top hospitals on land. Despite being a B-class contracted doctor with this company, which is mystery to most due to its secretive nature, powerful, and criticized for supposedly getting involved in black-market surgeries, it has chosen to appear in the identity of an integrator of medical black technologies this year."

Indeed, Robert has seen the world, and Yang Ping had never even heard of the existence of this company.

"So that means, this Russian doctor isn’t just a fictional character from a novel but actually exists?" Yang Ping was quite interested in this doctor.

"Exactly! He does really exist. He is a Chief Plastic Surgery Specialist with Langnaife Company under an A-class contract. Codenamed Ivan, he has an entire medical team including doctors, nurses, bodyguards, and logistics support staff. The company also provides strong support for him. His story is so incredible that many street literature works love to use him as the main character to satisfy the readers’ curiosity."

"Langnaife, how come I’ve never heard of this company?" Yang Ping pondered deeply, hearing about this company for the first time.

August picked up the conversation and said:

"Ironically, they also issued me a B contract. To be precise, Langnaife is more of a medical organization with the guise of a company. I know Professor Manstein from Charite is one of them and also holds an A-level contract. The existence of this organization aims ultimate towards longevity, akin to Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s personal alchemist. But in reality, much of their work is to extend the lives of the world’s top magnates. They attract top medical talents to join, collaborate, and pool resources. Their organizational capabilities are incredibly strong. For instance, the daughter of this Italian tycoon, if placed in an ordinary hospital, the outcome might be unsatisfactory. But if Langnaife can have Professor Ivan perform plastic surgery and invite you to do orthopedic adjustments, while using top-tier skin cultivated through world-leading tissue engineering, the chances of a successful operation will be significant. In short, they can integrate the most potent medical resources in the world, with astonishing efficiency. Think about it, an operation can easily cost hundreds of millions, or even billions of U.S. dollars – how could it not be efficient?"

So, Langnaife Company isn’t some illegal organization, but a provider of high-end medical services?

Yang Ping thought it might be some kind of black market surgery, performing operations on medical ships in international waters like some gambling vessels. His intuition about this company wasn’t very good.

"Langnaife seizes profits through exorbitant service fees and then subsidizes various medical research projects. The Duke Foundation is one of its shareholders, as far as I know. In short, this company is quite old-fashioned and has a bit of a secret organization style. " August provided whatever information he had.

"How do they know about me, and what do they want me for? I am not one of their contracted doctors." Yang Ping found it very strange.

Robert chuckled, "Their attention to the world’s top medical talents exceeds that of any other organization or individual. Not being a contracted doctor does not prevent them from inviting you. Contracted doctors usually start with the first invitation. Doctors invited by this company receive incredibly high commissions, and it has a good reputation within the industry. There will be no legal risks. For example, A-level doctors can enjoy various robust assistance they provide. Imagine, many of the world’s top tycoons are their members. While these members enjoy top-tier medical services, they also have to fulfill some obligations, providing various kinds of support to the company’s contracted doctors."

"For instance, if a contracted doctor gets embroiled into a legal risk in a certain country, no matter the cause, the members will provide unlimited support to help the doctor out of the predicament."

Yang Ping, listening all this, felt like he was in a novel, was this what they talked about as the global omnipotent black card in the legends of roadside stall culture?

Through Robert and August’s explanations, Yang Ping more or less understood the background of this invitation. At this point, he was even less interested in accepting it.

Yang Ping was just a simple doctor, and this was cosmetic surgery, not life-saving. Besides, who knew who would be the subject of the plastic surgery. Once on the sea, he wouldn’t be in control.

They talk about some Italian tycoon’s daughter, is it really so?

Besides, this company seemed a bit like a secret organization. As a good socialist youth, he didn’t want to join these unidentified organizations, even if they are academic.

"Ordinary people can’t get such an invitation, professor. Don’t you want to give it a try? Rest assured, it’s safe. Because their Asian division headquarters is in Singapore, the invitation was sent out from there. " Robert had a penchant for novelty.

It would be a pity not to participate in such a large-scale operation, especially when Dr. Ivan would be the chief surgeon.

The protagonist in roadside stall literature, often leads people to various speculations. Although Robert is a contracted doctor of Langnaife, he has never met Dr. Ivan.

"I really have no interest. Somehow, it feels a bit like I’m boarding a pirate ship." Yang Ping explained.

He just wants to be a simple, ordinary doctor, and it’s best to have fewer encounters with unusual things.
