Chapter 395: Chapter 394: 99 Points
11:34 PM.
Waiting in the directorās office of the plastic surgery center, Yan Feifan checked the time again, his face etched with impatience.
"Sheās already half an hour late. Does she have any sense of punctuality?"
Wang Chuan, who was playing darts, said casually, "Be patient. These popular celebrities are pretty unrestrained in private. Theyāre used to making people wait for them."
"As for how they act in front of the camera, you canāt take any of it seriously."
Yan Feifan snorted and said, "Time is money, Mr. Wang. Remember to raise this personās fee by another hundred thousand."
He added, "For every extra half hour she keeps me waiting, tack on another hundred thousand."
Wang Chuan threw the dart in his hand, hitting the nine-point ring this time.
He turned to look at Yan Feifan and chuckled. "Feifan, youāre ruthless. But to them, this is just pocket change."
"You certainly have the leverage to negotiate these days. Weāll do it your way."
After a pause, Wang Chuan changed the subject. "Feifan, thereās a national medical beauty products exhibition in Jingcheng this August. Theyāll also be holding some plastic surgery seminars."
"Do you want to go check out the new materials and technologies, and network with colleagues from all over the country?"
Yan Feifan shook his head. "Iād better not."
"My sister will definitely be keeping a close eye on me for a while. I should just behave and focus on recovering."
Wang Chuan smiled. "Youāre your sisterās rock, her pride and joy. And Mr. Yu made your condition sound so serious, of course sheās going to be worried about you."
Yan Feifan grumbled under his breath, "My sister is just worrying for nothing. Sheās so neurotic and annoying."
"Feifan, youāre a grown man. You should be counting your blessings that someone cares about you this much."
After chiding Yan Feifan, Wang Chuan asked, "Hey, I heard your sister is seeing someone. Howās that going?"
Yan Feifan said nonchalantly, "Theyāre still in the getting-to-know-each-other phase, I guess."
"My sister has been busy learning to shoot videos and handling some foundation matters these past few days, so theyāve just been keeping in touch by phone."
Wang Chuan let out a soft "Oh," and said, "Itās better for them to get to know each other more, anyway. Besides, didnāt Mr. Yu also suggest that your sister should spend a year or two recuperating..."
As he said this, he suddenly had an idea.
"Hey, Feifan, what do you think? Should I ask Mr. Yu to check Yanyanās pulse too?"
Yan Feifan nodded. "I think thatās a good idea."
"Iāve been drinking the traditional Chinese medicine from his family lately, and I feel like itās been quite effective."
"Mr. Wang, I can have Su Ye get in touch for you."
Wang Chuan made up his mind. "Alright then... Feifan, have Su Ye ask first if Mr. Yu has any plans to come south anytime soon."
"If not, Iāll figure out a way to take Yanyan to Jingcheng."
Yan Feifan nodded in agreement.
The two chatted for a little while longer, and Yan Feifan asked about Wang Chuanās opinion of the five new students.
Wang Chuan replied casually that the five of them were technically competent, but compared to Yan Feifan, they were all complete scrubs.
He now set aside one day a week specifically to mentor them.
That was all he could do.
As for how far they would develop in the future, that would depend on their own talent, insight, and hard work...
At 12:35 AM, just as Yan Feifan was thinking heād been stood up, the celebrity introduced by Ding Xuan finally arrived.
When Yan Feifan saw the person arrive like a princess with a full entourage, wearing exquisite makeup, he couldnāt help but freeze for a moment.
āWhat a coincidence.ā
The celebrity was none other than the very popular Uighur actress, Ah Yimuāthe same person Tang Qing wanted her plastic surgery to emulate.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Yan, I am so sorry."
Ah Yimu hurried over, apologizing and bowing slightly as she explained, "The event organizers and the fans were just too enthusiastic today. I couldnāt get away."
"Iām truly sorry for making you wait so long."
As she spoke, Ah Yimu took two small gifts from her assistantās hands and presented them personally.
Yan Feifan took one and saw it was an autographed phone from a brand she endorsed.
āA nice gesture, but Iām still adding the extra fee.ā
Yan Feifan muttered this to himself, then said with a broad smile, "Miss Ah Yimu, itās getting late, so letās skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point."
He studied her nose and said, "Objectively speaking, while your nose is a little large relative to the rest of your face, itās still quite beautiful."
"What did you have in mind?"
Ah Yimu gave a slight smile. "Mr. Yan, you live up to your reputation as an expert. You saw it at a glance."
"By our countryās beauty standards, my nose, especially the tip, is just a bit too prominent."
"Naturally, Iād like to make it smaller and more perfect."
"I was just wondering, Mr. Yan, can you do that?"
Yan Feifan nodded confidently. "I can."
The smile on Ah Yimuās face widened. "Xuan told me that thereās more to you than meets the eye, Mr. Yan, and that you have the absolute skill for this."
"Letās start the examination after I take off my makeup..."
"Wait a moment!"
Yan Feifan stopped her. "There are two things we need to discuss and come to an agreement on first."
"Please, go ahead, Mr. Yan." Ah Yimu was very polite.
Yan Feifan explained, "First, I have a client who wants to have plastic surgery to look like you."
"Iām hoping to get your permission to perform some additional examinations on your facial features and bones."
Ah Yimu was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly. "Thank you for being so upfront, Mr. Yan."
"Personally, Iām not thrilled about something like this, but legally, I have no right to forbid it."
"From an entertainerās perspective, I should be happy to have such an ardent fan."
"Perhaps I could even use this for some publicity down the line..."
Ah Yimu sighed softly and nodded. "Alright, Mr. Yan, I agree to it."
She then smiled. "Mr. Yan, if you can make her look very similar, perhaps I could even hire her as my body double."
"And the second matter?"
Yan Feifan hesitated for a moment and glanced at Wang Chuan, who was standing to the side.
āItās better to let the director be the bad guy and quote the outrageous price.ā
Taking the hint, Wang Chuan put on a warm smile and said, "The second matter is the fee for the procedure."
"Miss Ah Yimu, the flat rate is six hundred thousand."
As soon as he named the price, Ah Yimuās expression darkened slightly.
A short-haired woman in her thirties standing behind her stepped forward, her face clouded with anger. "Gentlemen, isnāt that a bit of an outrageous demand?"
"Donāt think we donāt know the market rates. Your price is more than double what Huarong Medical Beauty charges."
Wang Chuan chuckled, his expression calm. "Going from ninety-five points to ninety-seven, and going from ninety-seven to ninety-nine... although both are a two-point improvement, Iām sure you understand that the difficulty is completely different. Naturally, the price is different too."
"What Huarong Medical Beauty can do, we can do."
"What we can do, Huarong Medical Beauty cannot."
"There are recent examples of this. I donāt need to spell it out for you."
The short-haired woman was about to speak again, but Ah Yimu raised a hand to stop her.
Ah Yimu turned to Yan Feifan with a sweet smile and said, "Oh, Mr. Yan, I agree to that price."
"Iām very much looking forward to a ninety-nine-point nose..."
