Overpowered Resident Doctor

It was Yan Feifan’s first time on a private jet, and his first time flying abroad on one at that. The experience, he felt, was quite different from any commercial flight he’d taken before.

At 6:30 PM, Yan Feifan, Duan Yu, and Yanyan’s mother, Zhong Xinyi, met up with Deng Shao and his burly assistant in the main hall of Binhai International Airport. Together, they completed the check-in and customs procedures and headed straight for the tarmac.

The group then boarded a small, canopied electric shuttle. After a two or three-minute ride, they arrived in front of a beautiful airplane.

Yan Feifan saw two tall Caucasian men in shirts and ties, along with a blonde woman in a flight attendant’s uniform, waiting in a line at the foot of the aircraft’s boarding stairs.

Deng Shao quietly told Yan Feifan and the others that they were the pilot, co-pilot, and chief flight attendant.

Greeted by the trio, Yan Feifan, Deng Shao, and the rest of their party disembarked from the shuttle and ascended the stairs into the plane.

At the cabin door, they were met with a warm welcome from two beautiful Caucasian flight attendants and a chef, also lined up to greet them.

Yan Feifan followed a tall, beautiful flight attendant into a spacious and luxurious main cabin that resembled a lounge.

To his surprise, he found someone was already there.

She was a Caucasian woman of about forty with an excellent figure.

She was dressed in a dark, form-fitting skirt suit, black stockings, and black high heels. Her light auburn hair was swept up in a bun, giving her a capable air that was blended with a mature, alluring charm.

Out of the corner of his eye, Yan Feifan noticed Deng Shao also looked a bit puzzled. Apparently, he didn’t know who this woman was either.

The woman didn’t leave them guessing for long. She took the initiative and introduced herself in English, "Mr. Yan, Mr. Deng, and everyone, good evening! I am the Vice President of the Meilin Clinic, Dr. Sarah Noles!"

"Dr. Noles, hello. A pleasure to meet you," Yan Feifan greeted her simply.

After the brief introductions, Yan Feifan, Zhong Xinyi, and the others stowed their luggage and sat down according to precedence.

Yan Feifan, Zhong Xinyi, Deng Shao, and Dr. Noles sat together in a spacious, semi-circular booth.

Duan Yu and Deng Shao’s male assistant sat in a row of seats behind the booth.

A flight attendant brought them red wine, juice, and ice water.

Yan Feifan asked for a glass of juice, but when he felt how cold the glass was, he just set it on the table.

Noles gracefully lifted her red wine, took a sip, and set the glass down before speaking. "Mr. Yan, you might not have expected this, but your reputation as a genius doctor has long since reached the United States."

Yan Feifan replied with a calm expression, "Actually, I did expect it."

"Otherwise, I wouldn’t be on this trip to the United States, and I wouldn’t be meeting you here, Dr. Noles."

Noles was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled. "That’s true."

After a pause, her expression turned serious. "Mr. Yan, we’ve done some research on you. To be frank, your achievements are astonishing—one might even say incredible."

"I am here today on behalf of the Meilin Clinic to extend an invitation to you with the utmost sincerity."

"Oh? And just how great is this ’utmost sincerity’ of yours?" Yan Feifan asked, looking curious.

"Well..." Noles glanced around, looking slightly troubled. "Mr. Yan, that’s not something I can easily discuss in front of so many people."

"Perhaps we could go to a private room to talk alone."

"After you’ve heard our sincere offer and its terms, you can also bring up any personal requests you’d like us to meet."

Yan Feifan smiled. "Dr. Noles, these people are all trusted friends of mine. I’ll need to hear their opinions as well."

"If you’re truly not at liberty to speak, then let’s just forget about it."

Seeing Yan Feifan’s apparent lack of interest, Noles had no choice but to relent. "Alright, I can speak here."

"However, I need everyone present to give me your solemn promise not to disclose the terms I am about to share. This is highly confidential information for the Meilin Clinic."

After receiving verbal assurances from Deng Shao, Zhong Xinyi, Duan Yu, and the others, Noles laid out the Meilin Clinic’s recruitment offer.

"A signing bonus of two million US dollars."

"A base annual salary of two million US dollars, plus a year-end bonus at the Meilin Clinic’s highest tier."

"Thirty days of annual leave, in addition to all standard US holidays."

"A dedicated research center established in Dr. Yan Feifan’s name, with no less than five million US dollars in annual research funding and a support team of at least six assistants."

"A private villa and a company car will be provided."

"The Meilin Clinic will handle all arrangements for work visas, green cards, and naturalization for Yan Feifan, his spouse, and his immediate family."

Noles spoke with great enthusiasm, "Mr. Yan, this offer we’ve made to you exceeds the terms we extend even to the world’s top medical experts."

"We believe in your present capabilities, and we believe even more in your future."

"At the Meilin Clinic, Mr. Yan, not only will you have incomparably superior working and research conditions, but you will also be collaborating with the most outstanding medical specialists from all over the world."

"With our support, your intellect and hard work, and a little bit of luck, a Nobel Prize within ten years is not out of the question."

Noles stared at Yan Feifan with a burning gaze and asked, "Mr. Yan, are you satisfied with our sincere offer?"

To be honest, the terms offered by the Meilin Clinic were genuinely excellent, and Yan Feifan had to admit they were appealing.

However, the Yan Feifan of today was not the same man he used to be.

In terms of material wealth alone, he stood to make a million US dollars just from this one trip to the United States.

He wouldn’t even need that many cases per year. Just three or four wealthy fools with more money than sense from the United States or other countries would be enough.

And Yan Feifan would have everything he needed.

Besides, he was already highly valued back home in China.

’If I went abroad,’ he thought, ’as a yellow-skinned, black-haired, black-eyed person different from the majority, no matter how capable I was, I’d still be a second-class citizen living on someone else’s terms. There would be no shortage of hidden discrimination and inconveniences.’

’Most importantly, I grew up in China. How could I abandon my country for some temptation? You don’t turn your back on your motherland just because it has flaws. The motherland’s shortcomings in medical development compared to other developed nations are exactly what people like me need to work to improve.’

Having fortified his convictions, Yan Feifan chuckled lightly. "Dr. Noles, thank you very much for your recognition of my abilities."

"I can certainly feel your sincerity."

"However..."

Just then, Zhong Xinyi suddenly coughed twice. Yan Feifan glanced at her and noticed her winking at him.

Yan Feifan understood instantly.

’I can’t just refuse this outright. This Noles woman showing up here might be at the behest of the United States Government. A flat, decisive rejection could embarrass and anger the relevant US authorities. They might just go all the way and detain me in the United States, preventing me from returning home.’

"However, while I’m moved by the offer, this is a very significant decision—a life-altering change."

"I need some time to consider it seriously, and I also need to discuss it with my older sister, my fiancée, and several of my mentors."

Noles nodded and smiled. "A decision like this certainly requires time and consultation with one’s family."

"Mr. Yan, our offer is valid for forty days. You can contact me at any time within that period."

Yan Feifan smiled faintly. "Dr. Noles, I will inform you as soon as I’ve made my decision."

At that moment, the chief flight attendant came over and informed them that the plane had received clearance from the tower and was about to taxi for takeoff.

"Please fasten your seatbelts..."
