Chapter 1196: Brothers Actually Go Busking (1)
Zhang Yun knew that Jian Yiling was a great surgeon. But she didn’t expect Jian Yiling to be that great.
As she was only an intern, she couldn’t go watch the operation like the other doctors and nurses.
However, after the operation, everyone was discussing how insane Jian Yiling was.
“Well, you still know her better than us. There’s a team-building event next week. Could you help us invite her?”
As Jian Yiling was not technically part of Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch, she was not invited to the team building.
However, after today’s operation, everyone wanted to know Jian Yiling a bit better. Most people unanimously wanted her to join them at the team-building event.
“Um… I will ask her for you. However, it’s still her decision,” Zhang Yun said softly. She did not dare to promise anything.
When it was time to leave work, Zhang Yun and Jian Yiling left together.
When they left, they noticed that a lot of people were gathered in a square somewhere not far away from the hospital entrance.
“What’s happening?” Zhang Yun asked. Her curiosity made her look in that direction. “It seems as though someone’s playing the piano.”
Piano?
Upon hearing those words, Jian Yiling suddenly thought of something. She quickly walked in the direction of the crowd.
Jian Yiling would not typically walk toward crowds. However, the situation was different today.
Jian Yiling and Zhang Yun squeezed their way through.
A grand piano was set up in the originally empty square.
A young and handsome pianist was playing the piano. His slim fingers flew over the piano keys.
The pianist was no other than Jian Yunnao.
Jian Yumin was also holding a microphone and singing a beautiful song.
The beautiful melody and singing attracted countless onlookers.
Everyone recognized that the person playing the piano was a young pianist who had recently become famous.
Meanwhile, the person singing was Xie Minyu, a former member of Jupiter who quit the entertainment industry a few years ago.
There was also a cracked bowl placed on the ground. Beside the bowl was a sign reading: Please donate money.
However, if they wanted to, these people could easily host a concert. Why were they busking here?
What was happening?
Why were they doing the same things as street performers?
If it weren’t for the bodyguards protecting them, the crowd would have rushed forward already.
Zhang Yun tugged on Jian Yiling’s arm and said: “I’m not dreaming right? My favorite pianist is playing in front of me?!”
When they were in Jinshui Village, Jin Jin had met Jian Yiling’s brothers.
However, Zhang Yun hadn’t. She only spoke to Jian Yiling a few times before she came to Beijing.
And during this time, she hadn’t meet any of Jian Yiling’s family members.
Whilst Zhang Yun was still shocked, Jian Yiling walked toward Jian Yumin and Jian Yunnao.
Even though the bodyguards blocked other onlookers from stepping forward, they did not stop Jian Yiling.
Jian Yumin and Jian Yunnao immediately saw Jian Yiling.
Jian Yumin quickly walked over and looked at Jian Yiling with gentle eyes. It was as though the song was specifically sung for Jian Yiling.
The only time Jian Yumin had such gentle and affectionate eyes was when he was singing.
It was unlikely for him to have such a gentle look on his face at any other time.

Chapter 1197: Brothers Actually Go Busking (2)
Some of the onlookers recognized Jian Yiling and Jian Yumin. After all, a while ago, they attended a reality show together. They knew they were cousins.
Furthermore, the lyrics of the song that Jian Yumin was singing were directed to his sister:
You are God’s gift to us;
You are our angel;
You are the light we want to protect;
However, we didn’t expect you to grow up so quickly;
We didn’t want you to go through the wind and rain by yourself;
But time never stops for anyone;
Time took away your youthful ignorance and brought along trouble and mishap;
…
But may you have a safe and beautiful life;
We will always be here for you;
…
This song was not available online. In fact, no one had heard this song before.
The reason for this was because Jian Yunnao recently composed the song and the lyrics of the song were filled in by Jian Yumin.
And hence, this was the first time it got played and sung in public.
Jian Yiling stared at Jian Yumin for a while. Then, she reached into her pockets and got out a few coins.
She didn’t have a lot of pocket change.
After that, Jian Yiling walked over to the broken bowl and threw her coins into it.
The onlookers were very confused to see this.
???
Was this their sister’s acknowledgment?
For some reason, everyone unanimously thought that tomorrow’s top Weibo news article would be: [Shock! Retired Idol Goes Busking! His Sister Sees This And Takes Pity On Him By Donating Her Pocket Change!]
After Jian Yiling threw the coins into the bowl, the other onlookers followed suit and began to throw money into there as well.
Some threw in five dollars whilst others threw in ten dollars. There was even a hundred-dollar note!
After a short while, the bowl was full.
Jian Yumin sang and Jian Yunnao played a total of three songs before they decided to pack up and go home.
Jian Yumin picked up the bowl filled with money and walked over to the front of the crowd. Luo Xiuen was there.
Luo Xiuen was currently holding Little Dandan in her arms.
Jian Yumin handed the bowl to his son and said: “Little brat, look at your father’s hard-earned money. I can buy you milk powder and diapers now.”
“Auntie…” Jian Dan cried out. He completely ignored his father’s words and completely ignored the bowl in front of him. He was only interested in his pretty auntie.
“Heck!” Jian Yumin cursed. His son didn’t care about him at all.
Luo Xiuen also reprimanded her son: “You think about your auntie all day and every day. Don’t you know how much you weigh? You’re going to tire your auntie out if you want her to carry you everywhere! I’m even tired of carrying you right now!”
“Waaaaa….”
After being reprimanded by his mother, Jian Dan began to wail. He wanted his pretty auntie…
Then, he looked at his dad and his uncles.
However, none of them paid any attention to him.
Waaa….
After leaving the square, everyone headed off to a nearby restaurant.
Zhang Yun looked at Jian Yunnao and said in surprise: “Wait, you’re siblings?!”
Zhang Yun then continued excitedly: “I really like the songs you’ve composed. Every song was incredibly sad. I thought…”
She thought that the composer going to be a depressed yet beautiful man.
However, the person in front of her did not look depressed at all.
But he was definitely beautiful! Every single Jian brother was either beautiful or handsome.
Was this genetics? If it was, it’s definitely insane.
Jian Yunmo explained the situation for Jian Yunnao: “His songs were sad because he thought he lost someone dear to him in the past two years.”
Everyone immediately understood Jian Yunmo’s words.
After a pause, Zhang Yun also understood these words.
It turned out that her favorite pianist had been composing these sad songs because his sister had gone missing.
And she had saved his sister!
What a small world!
Ahh, the Jian family was really awesome.
Everyone had excellent genetics and amazing talent.
It was hard to not be jealous.

Chapter 1198: The Li Family Thanks Jian Yiling
The Li Family visited Jian Yiling.
“Dr. Jian, thank you so much for saving my father. I don’t even know how to express our gratitude,” Grandpa Li’s eldest son said to Jian Yiling on behalf of his whole family.
At that moment, their attitude toward Jian Yiling had a one hundred and eighty-degree transformation.
“It’s part of my job,” Jian Yiling replied softly.
“No no, even if it’s your job, you still saved my father’s life. Therefore, you’re the savior of our family,” Grandpa Li’s eldest son said as he bowed deeply at Jian Yiling.
A thousand words could not be expressed in a few simple words. However, the Li family knew they owed Jian Yiling a great debt of gratitude.
“There’s no need to be polite.”
“No no, there’s definitely a need.”
Then, the Li family brought out banners they custom ordered for Jian Yiling.
On them were written [Brillant doctor], [Magical hands that bring back the dead] and [Kind doctor that helps citizens.]
Then, the eldest son of the Jian family left his contact information for Jian Yiling. He told Jian Yiling that she could contact him at any time if she needed help with anything.
When the Li family visited, Jian Yiling’s colleagues were also in the office. They applauded and cheered for Jian Yiling.
They all knew how precarious the situation was that day. Jian Yiling literally brought the old man back from the dead.
Furthermore, that operation was never Jian Yiling’s responsibility. Even if she stood on the sidelines and did nothing, no one would be able to say anything about her.
However, a person’s life mattered. Therefore, the Li family was indebted to Jian Yiling.
At this moment, Fei Qing passed by Jian Yiling’s office. She heard the applause and cheers from quite some distance away.
Fei Qing stood at the door for a while.
The applause and laughter inside the office were extraordinarily harsh to her ears.
Fei Qing quickened her steps and walked back to her office.
Bai Pingping came to Fei Qing’s office to look for her: “Dr. Fei, I just saw the Li Family. They gifted several banners to Jian Yiling. I saw some phrases related to being a miracle doctor.”
“I saw it.”
Why was Bai Pingping here to tell her about this?
Bai Pingping continued to speak to Fei Qing: “Dr. Fei, all of our colleagues are now saying that Jian Yiling deserves the number one spot in the surgical department.”
“I know!” Fei Qing exclaimed. She didn’t need Bai Pingping to tell her about this. There was no need to stress this point.
These comments did not just exist inside Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch. Similar remarks were also all over the Internet.
It seemed as though the Li family took the initiative to promote Jian Yiling’s name.
And even if Jian Yiling asked the Li family to promote her name, either way, the public now had an overwhelmingly good opinion of Jian Yiling. They all thought that Jian Yiling was better than her.
Bai Pingping attempted to comfort Fei Qing: “Dr. Fei, don’t feel too bad about this. Grandpa Li’s case was definitely a fluke. She only completed a third of the surgery. You completed two-thirds of it! She just finished the surgery off!”
“I’m alright,” Fei Qing emphasized. She didn’t want others to see her being depressed over her failure.
“That’s good,” Bai Pingping said. Then, she gave Fei Qing a suggestion: “Apparently, our colleagues invited Jian Yiling to the team building event next week. The location of the team building event is at West Mountain Lake. I heard that Jian Yiling doesn’t know how to swim.”
Bai Pingping was evidently hinting at something.
“What kind of thoughts are you thinking?”
“I don’t mean anything else…” Bai Pingping hurriedly explained.
“Don’t try to use me as your gun. I know you hold a grudge against Jian Yiling after you were humiliated by her,” Fei Qing directly said to Bai Pingping.
The expression on Bai Pingping’s face became awkward as she said: “I really didn’t mean anything. Jian Yiling only said a few words to me that day. I wouldn’t take it to heart. I was just afraid that you would be in a bad mood. That’s why I came over to comfort you.”

Chapter 1199: Fei Qing Gets Demoted (1)
“I don’t need comforting.”
“Alright, I will go back to work then,” Bai Pingping said as she hurriedly left.
After Bai Pingping left, Fei Qing’s face completely sank.
In front of others, she could still pretend to be fine. However, when she was facing herself, she couldn’t convince herself not to think about that incident.
###
Every month, Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch would host a meeting.
All the doctors would come to the hospital’s largest conference room.
The person presiding over the meeting was Li Zhuojia, the Dean of Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch.
In the first half of the meeting, each department would report their work and give a summary of what happened and what was happening.
On the other hand, the second half of the meeting was used for discussion.
Unlike other hospitals, the workload at Lahaisen Hospital was not that packed and intensive. This meant that there was sufficient time for the doctors to do research and learn.
When the meeting was about to end, a colleague suddenly asked Li Zhuojia: “Vice Dean, Jian Yiling is from Lahaisen Hospital’s headquarters. Is she now part of our branch?”
If she was now part of the Beijing branch, in some sense, it would be a demotion.
Li Zhuojia paused for a moment before he swept his eyes over everyone seated in the room. Then, his eyes fell on Jian Yiling: “Well, that depends on what she wants.”
After everyone heard Li Zhuojia’s words, they immediately understood that Jian Yiling’s position in Lahaisen Hospital’s headquarters was not touched.
However, that was understandable. After Grandpa Li’s surgery, everyone knew about Jian Yiling’s medical expertise. They knew why she was a doctor from the headquarters and why Fei Qing could only be a doctor from the Beijing branch.
Even though they were both outstanding surgeons, there was still a gap between them.
Some people subconsciously directed their attention to Fei Qing.
When she sensed the gazes of everyone around her, Fei Qing’s face stiffened. She did not dare to look up at everyone else.
Near the end of the meeting, Li Zhuojia announced: “Finally, I want to make an announcement.”
Li Zhuojia’s tone was serious. When everyone heard him speak like this, they knew that the final announcement was important.
And thus, they all looked toward him.
“Our hospital decided that Fei Qing will no longer be the chief physician of our surgical department. She will now be demoted to a general surgeon,” Li Zhuojia announced.
As soon as this was said, the entire conference room went silent.
Everyone looked toward Fei Qing.
Fei Qing sat frozen in place.
Her ears were buzzing and it seemed as though everyone was mocking her.
Someone asked: “Vice Dean, who will replace her then?”
To some degree, everyone thought that Jian Yiling was going to be taking Fei Qing’s spot.
“For the time being, it’s not yet determined. I will conduct an assessment next month and then decide,” Li Zhuojia replied. “Dr. Fei can choose to participate in the assessment. If Dr. Fei excels and proves that she has the ability to continue being the chief physician of the surgical department, then she will be promoted back to her original role.”
Even though Li Zhuojia said that it was not yet determined, everyone felt that Jian Yiling had a higher probability of becoming the chief physician of the surgical department.
After the meeting ended, the colleagues began texting in their WeChat groups. They were discussing next month’s assessment.
[Everyone needs to work hard for next month’s assessment. Even though Jian Yiling’s incredible, we all still have a chance!]
[Yep, we still have a chance to prove ourselves! However, I don’t think it’s possible to beat Jian Yiling. She’s too strong.]
In the past, they only heard about Jian Yiling’s medical expertise. However, everyone in Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch now knew that she deserved the incredible reputation she had.

Chapter 1200: Fei Qing Gets Demoted (2)
[I feel like the so-called assessment is just a way for Jian Yiling to convince everyone that she has the skills to become the chief physician of the surgical department.]
[Well, what can we do if we’re not convinced? Even though she’s younger than us, she is much more talented than us. I feel like no one will be against it if she actually becomes the chief physician of the surgical department.]
[Ahh, I still feel bad for Dr. Fei. Even though she’s not as skilled as Jian Yiling, she’s still one of the best surgeons amongst all the doctors out there. She’s just slightly worse than Jian Yiling.]
[That can’t be helped. After all, a mountain can’t accommodate two tigers. Furthermore, after that incident, I feel like Dr. Fei may no longer want to stay at Lahaisen Hospital.]
[But you get so many benefits from working at Lahaisen Hospital. No hospital in this country can give such a high salary and such generous treatment. Furthermore, it’s so prestigious to say that you’re working here.]
[Yeah, that’s definitely the case. Lahaisen Hospital’s headquarters holds so much authority in the medical field. Even though we’re not part of that branch, the Beijing branch isn’t bad either. It’s an honor to work here. That’s why I don’t think Fei Qing will want to leave. Even if she’s no longer the chief physician of the surgical department, she can still enjoy the benefits she can’t get if she decides to work somewhere else.]
[That’s true. If she continues to work here, she might get a chance to meet the super-duper talented doctor from our headquarters!]
Most doctors were proud to be working here.
Being a part of this hospital was an amazing opportunity and also a recognition of their abilities.
When someone heard that you were working at Lahaisen Hospital, respect would instantly appear in their eyes.
And thus, everyone’s attitude towards next month’s assessment was very serious. Even if they couldn’t get promoted, it was a good opportunity to test out what they learned. They could see where they were improving on and also what things they should work on.
###
After she returned back to her office, Fei Qing slumped down onto her table and began crying.
Even though she was thirty years old, she was crying like a thirteen-year-old child.
She never felt so bad before.
Everyone was probably laughing at her.
But she didn’t want things to be like this. She accepted the surgery because she thought she could complete it. She thought she could succeed in the surgical operation.
And the risk… She thought it was within her control.
She didn’t expect things to turn out that way.
She remembered when she passed the interview for Lahaisen Hospital. Everyone was so happy and proud of her. They were more proud of this achievement than when she got accepted into the top medical university in China.
Her father even invited her relatives to celebrate her achievement.
Not long after, she stood out amongst the other surgeons and became the chief physician in the newly established Beijing branch.
That was definitely an honorable achievement for her.
Her parents were so happy to hear that news. They told everyone they met about her daughters’ achievements.
Her friends and relatives all came over to congratulate her when they heard about this news.
However, she now got demoted. How was she going to explain this situation to her family, relatives, and friends?
Fei Qing did not know what to do. All her negative emotions turned into tears and she cried uncontrollably.
Fei Qing knew in her heart that even if she got demoted, it was impossible for her to leave Lahaisen Hospital.
There was no better place for her to go after leaving Lahaisen Hospital.
The medical technology and the benefits of working at another hospital were not comparable to Lahaisen Hospital’s.
After crying for a while, Fei Qing remembered that Bai Pingping mentioned that there was a team-building event next week.
If Jian Yiling wasn’t there for the assessment, no one could threaten her position, right?
Fei Qing clearly knew that the only one in Lahaisen Hospital’s Beijing branch who could perform better than her was Jian Yiling.
