Chapter 464 - The Matter Has Succeeded
“Mr. Ning, I've done all I can,” Dr. Zhang cut off Ning Zhiyuan mid-sentence. “My mentor has nine surgeries lined up this month; his schedule is completely booked. I'm at a loss here. You'll have to seek assistance elsewhere.”
With that, Dr. Zhang ended the call.
Ning Zhiyuan couldn't help feeling awkward.
He had just boasted about how easily he could secure a surgeon for Village Chief Zhang, yet he had come up short.
Ning Zhiyuan scratched his head and looked around. “Dr. Hwa is rather tied up at the moment.”
Upon hearing this, Lee Xiuhua became frantic. “Does that mean there's no hope for my husband?”
Ning Zhiyuan sighed and shook his head. “Grandma Lee, Dr. Zhang is Dr. Hwa's protégé, and it's rare for anyone to get through to him. Now that even Dr. Zhang can't assist, I fear there's no one in the imperial court capable of handling this.”
Even in his reassurance, he was still singing his own praises.
Lee Xiuhua's hands fell to her sides, her heart sinking. It seemed her husband's fate was sealed.
Zhang Qianqian's face was etched with sorrow. “Grandpa!”
It was then that Su Ming spoke up, “Let me give it a try.”
Ning Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow at this, sizing up Su Ming with a scoff. “Don't make empty promises. If Dr. Zhang can't manage it, what can you possibly do? Village Chief Zhang's situation is critical; this is no time for baseless boasts!”
Su Ming merely gave him a brief look and remained silent. Now was not the moment for debate.
Without another word, Su Ming pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
“Mr. Su, what brings you to call me today?”
The voice on the other end was aged and familiar—it was Old Master Qin.
“Mr. Qin, I need a favor,” Su Ming requested.
Old Master Qin responded cheerfully, “Mr. Su, we're friends. Just say the word, and if it's within my power, I'll make it happen.”
“There's someone I know with a benign tumor in their brain, located in the cerebellum. They need surgery. Mr. Qin, could you help me get in touch with a few doctors?” Su Ming explained.
Upon hearing the request, Old Master Qin responded, “It does present some difficulty. I might hesitate if someone else asked for my help, but for you, I'll definitely assist. Rest assured, I'll make arrangements right away.”
“Great, I appreciate your help,” Su Ming said before ending the call.
Those nearby found the conversation curious, as they had never heard of Mr. Qin and wondered who he might be.
Ning Zhiyuan was particularly puzzled. fr?ewebno?el.?o?
Who was this Mr. Qin?
He pondered deeply, then suddenly a name came to mind.
Could it be that Mr. Qin?
No, that seemed impossible!
He suspected that Su Ming was merely boasting and that eventually, his lies would catch up to him.
After a moment of contemplation, Dr. Liu inquired, “Comrade, the Mr. Qin you just mentioned, is he the renowned doctor from the capital?”
With a smile, Su Ming confirmed, “Yes, that's him.”
Dr. Liu paused, visibly excited, then asked, “I've never sought help for anything in my life, but may I ask a favor of you?”
”What is it?” Su Ming asked, blinking in anticipation.
“I'd like to request a signed photograph of Mr. Qin. He's an inspiration to all of us in the medical field.”
Dr. Liu, who appeared to be in his fifties, spoke of Old Master Qin with a face full of reverence. Mr. Qin was indeed a leading figure in their profession.
Su Ming responded cheerfully, “No problem at all.”
“Fantastic! Thank you. With that autographed photo, I promise to go above and beyond for any of your friends, family, or fellow villagers who come to my hospital. I'll ensure they receive the best care without unnecessary expense.”
The villagers listening in were overjoyed at the news.
In these times, securing quality medical care was a significant challenge.
Thanks to Su Ming's assistance, they looked forward to saving both time and money in the future.
Lee Xiuhua clutched Su Ming's hand, expressing her gratitude, “Su, I can't thank you enough for this.”
Zhang Tao was equally elated, “You little rascal, I owe you one. Next time you're at my place, expect the red-carpet treatment.”
Zhang Qianqian wrapped her arms around Su Ming's, exclaiming, “Brother Ming, you're simply the best!”
Su Tao and Lee Sumei watched the unfolding scene, nodding in agreement. They thought Zhang Qianqian and Su Ming made an excellent couple.
Ning Zhiyuan, however, was not pleased as he observed Su Ming receiving everyone's gratitude.
“Don't celebrate too soon. Anyone can talk big, right? Dr. Zhang already said that Dr. Hwa's surgical schedule is fully booked for the month. Old Master Qin is a nationally renowned doctor. What makes you think he knows Old Master Qin?” Ning Zhiyuan was skeptical that Su Ming could pull this off.
But just as he finished speaking, Su Ming's phone rang.
On the other end of the line, Old Master Qin's voice came through: “Young man, I've taken care of everything. There's no need for the patient to come to us. I will fly out with the doctors, and we will perform the surgery tomorrow afternoon. However, we need to prepare beforehand, so please get a phone number from the hospital. I'll have them call to check what's needed. That way, we can bring any missing items with us. Also, have the hospital send over the patient's records for us to review.”

“Don't worry, Old Master Qin. I'll send you the hospital's number right away.”
After ending the call, Su Ming got the number from Dr. Liu and sent it to Old Master Qin.
Everyone around was astounded.
Su Ming had indeed made it happen, with the doctor coming in person to perform surgery on Village Chief Zhang.
The Su family's son was truly impressive.
While everyone else was overjoyed, Ning Zhiyuan was far from happy.
He raised his voice in disbelief, “Impossible! I'm sure that call was a sham. There's no way he could convince the capital's top doctors to come here just for Village Chief Zhang's surgery. Can you really believe such an obvious lie?”
