Chapter 149: The Millionaire’s Opportunity!



Guo Yongliang looked at the exquisite and beautiful woman in front of him. Was this really his wife? She certainly bore some resemblance, every part seemed similar, yet when put together, something seemed off. What on earth had happened? Guo Yongliang could hardly believe it!

Fu Yufang sat on the bed, her face flushing red from Guo Yongliang’s intent gaze.

“Have you had enough of looking?” she snapped.

Guo Yongliang shook his head, “No… Fangfang, you’re too beautiful, you know?”

“I was also worried that the surgery would be a mess. You know my mom, if she saw you looking like an internet celebrity, she would definitely lose her temper!”

“But now it’s great, really beautiful!”

Guo Yongliang had been giving compliments for over ten minutes, carefully examining her face inside and out, “This is all real, right?”

Chen Cang explained, “It’s all real. Miss Fu just made minor adjustments to some facial details. In fact, Miss Fu already had a good foundation, so after a bit of embellishment, this is the result. Moreover, this kind of minor surgery is just like getting a small cut on the face, once healed, it really doesn’t affect anything.”

Guo Yongliang marveled again and again, “Brilliant! Amazing! Now this is what I call plastic surgery.”

Fu Yufang huffed at Guo Yongliang, “Did you think it was going to be like those internet celebrities you see every day? Looking inhuman through the screen, can you even tell what they actually look like!”

“Doctor Chen here is a master, the one who designs for celebrities. If it weren’t for Sister Xiao’s referral, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Doctor Chen!”

Upon hearing this, Guo Yongliang nodded repeatedly, realizing that there was indeed a huge difference. Even though both were plastic surgeries, the disparity was enormous.

Guo Yongliang, after all, was experienced and had seen it all, but this was his first encounter with such surgery, and he was deeply moved.

However, when he turned to look at Xiao Tianhua, he was stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, “You… You’re Sister Xiao?”

Xiao Tianhua nodded, “Oh, what, after going out for a few days you’ve become so discerning that you no longer recognize your Sister Xiao?”

Guo Yongliang quickly cracked a smile, “It’s just that Sister Xiao has become even more beautiful and dignified!”

At that moment, Xiao Tianhua pulled a woman who was standing behind her forward, and Guo Yongliang was dumbfounded, “This couldn’t be Big Sister Mei Zi, could it? My God, she looks too beautiful after the surgery!”

At that instant, Guo Yongliang realized he was dealing with a true expert.

Plastic surgery was not as simple as he thought. To be designed into looking like this, Guo Yongliang’s eyes were truly opened.

Turning to look at Chen Cang, his gratitude was indescribable!

Hu Chuanjin chuckled and looked at Guo Yongliang, “President Guo, do you want her to get changed back?”

Guo Yongliang hurriedly waved his hand, “No need! This is incredible. President Hu, your plastic surgery hospital is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, impressive!”

After all, when his wife looked beautiful, who would it benefit?

Could Guo Yongliang not know deep down?

She looked so beautiful after the surgery… as if he had a new wife. He was already overjoyed in his heart.

As for explaining to the parents?

If the plastic surgery made her look more beautiful—genuinely beautiful—and she also appeared dignified and classy, then there’s no issue with explaining. It doesn’t matter!

That’s how private hospitals are. The customer is king, with top-notch service!

When you’ve satisfied a wealthy customer, they’re not stingy when it comes time to pay.

When Fu Yufang handed her card to Chen Cang, she grabbed his hand, “Xiao Chen, design a bear shape for me next time!”

Chen Cang shuddered and quickly pulled away, “Of course, Sister Fu, no problem!”

The surgery fee was three hundred thousand, according to the price originally quoted to Xiao Tianhua.

Only Hu Chuanjin, Zhang Zhixin, and Chen Cang were left in the office.

Hu Chuanjin suddenly said, “Chen, Zhixin has spoken to me about you, saying you’re very capable. After seeing your work today, I must say you’re really impressive.”

“You’ve been here for a while now, and Zhixin has always been saying that we should draw up a contract for you. I wasn’t sure what would be appropriate, so how about this? Since you and Zhixin are good friends, how about I give you a ten percent profit share? Come work with Zhixin to build up the hospital. As for this ten percent profit share… I don’t need you to buy shares, just help us operate, and you’ll have a share of the profits every month. What do you think?”

Zhang Zhixin’s eyes widened instantly when he heard this. The investment in the plastic surgery hospital was hefty, and a ten percent share of the profits, based on last year’s figures, meant at least several million a year!

Getting a share of the profits without having to invest—since when had Hu Chuanjin been so generous?

Chen Cang also was taken aback. Zhang Zhixin had told him that the plastic surgery hospital made tens of millions in profit annually, and a ten percent share would amount to millions.

But there was no such thing as a free lunch, and Chen Cang understood that.

He grinned and said, “General Hu, you’re putting too much faith in me. I have to work at the hospital every day, and I won’t be able to show up here on time. I’d feel ashamed to accept such a dividend.”

Hu Chuanjin shook his head with a smile, “No, no, no, if you join us, Chen, our business model will naturally undergo some changes. We could target the elite class specifically, be responsible for designing plastic surgery, and develop a high-level team, while you, Chen, would just need to handle the design work— and… we wouldn’t take a penny from the design fees, and moreover, we’d help you set the prices.”

Chen Cang was somewhat tempted!

It was a guaranteed income, technical investment, with no risk at all.

Seeing that Chen Cang hesitated, Hu Chuanjin went straight to the point, “We won’t restrict you too much. You can leave whenever you want. But you must ensure that you spend at least 6 days a month in the hospital. You don’t need to find customers; we’ll take care of that.”

“Of course, we won’t impose too many restrictions on you. I know you have a good relationship with Qin Xiang and Yang Tao, and you’re welcome to collaborate with them as long as it doesn’t affect your daily work. I’ll have Zhixin send you the specific contract. What do you think?”

Hu Chuanjin hadn’t necessarily been aiming to get Chen Cang on board; he’d hoped to leverage Chen Gang’s name and improve service quality.

It wasn’t easy to run a plastic surgery establishment these days. There were too many of them, and in recent years, they had sprung up like mushrooms after rain, necessitating the creation of unique features.

Chen Cang was their opportunity!

In fact, Chen Cang didn’t need to come to the hospital every day since there weren’t that many high-end customers.

Though the tech share dividends sounded impressive, the value that Chen Cang could produce was much greater than this, and Hu Chuanjin had carefully considered it. Today’s incident with Guo Yongliang only solidified his conviction.

Hu Chuanjin nodded, “You don’t have to rush into a decision, Chen. Think about it—after all, I’m a businessman too. We are both looking for mutually beneficial opportunities.”

Chen Cang smiled awkwardly, “I appreciate your high regard, General Hu, but that’s a lot of money. Happiness has come so suddenly that I’m not quite prepared for it.”

Hu Chuanjin chuckled, “Take your time to calculate, take your time! If you have any other ideas for collaboration, just let me know. We can talk about it. After all, cooperation leads to win-win situations!”

After saying this, Hu Chuanjin stood up, patted Chen Cang on the arm, and left. Zhang Zhixin and Chen Cang were left staring at each other in bewilderment! Zhang Zhixin also had technical shares plus capital, totaling fifteen percent of the shares, while Hu Chuanjin himself had invested more than half, owning sixty percent. The other few minor partners were hands-off managers who didn’t participate in management; they just shared the profits at the end of the year.

Chen Cang looked at Zhang Zhixin, “Teacher Zhang, do you think I should sign this?”

Zhang Zhixin pondered for a long time before saying, “It’s hard to say, there’s good in it. But it’s difficult to predict what will happen after you sign it. Profit sharing has its pros and cons, but I think, Chen, if I were you, I would choose a different kind of partnership!”

Chen Cang was curious, “What kind?”

Zhang Zhixin sat up straight, looking at Chen Cang and said, “Haven’t you been doing freelancing? You do a surgery, you get paid a certain amount. That way, you can work at random times based on your own schedule without worrying about management issues. If problems arise, you’re not responsible. Once you get involved in sharing profits, even if someone else causes an issue, you still have to bear some responsibility.”

“After all, you’re primarily focusing on design right now and surgery as a secondary. For example, you could set a design fee of 100,000 yuan, and just clearly price your surgeries. Wherever you do them, does it matter?”

“Otherwise, this ten percent share of the profits is not so easy to get. There will be all kinds of messy stuff you’ll have to deal with whether you like it or not.” Upon hearing Zhang Zhixin’s advice, Chen Cang had a flash of insight—right! He could definitely opt for a freelance, flying-doctor approach without any restrictions. Although the share of the profits might seem attractive now, with an entire plastic surgery hospital as a platform, he didn’t have to join to collaborate, and it would also be more flexible—like his current arrangement with Fu Yufang where he received design fees and a share of the surgery fees.

In the end, he had the skills and could take orders whenever he had time or focus on his own matters when he didn’t.

It was the best of both worlds!

Zhang Zhixin took a deep breath, thought seriously for a moment, and said slowly, “Besides, I don’t think you’ll be in Anyang City forever. Anyang is only so big; so many people, you’re only 27 years old—who knows where the future might take you? What’ll you do then?”

“You need to build a foundation for your future. When it comes to making money, you might earn more in the short term by sharing profits, as the hospital provides you with a platform and has staff for market research and client selection. Choosing this method might make you richer for the next two years.”

“But you must understand one thing—the fame belongs to Zhixin Plastic Surgery Hospital, and your personal renown can’t spread beyond it, or if it does, it is tied to the hospital. But freelancing is different; the reputation would be all yours. Wherever you go in the future, you’d always have a livelihood!” Continuing, Zhang Zhixin looked at Chen Cang, “That’s why, in the end, it’s still up to you to decide. Personally, I lean towards the second option—it’s carefree, comfortable, and the money is good!”

“You’d be like Wang Chen. Now people call him ‘Dotting Wang,’ always getting invited everywhere! He doesn’t worry about not having food to eat!”
