Ivan nodded.
The news spread like wildfire.
The next day, the news that "world-renowned plastic surgery master Ivan Kovalevsky is stuck at Sanbo Hospital" circulated within the medical community. By the third day, discussions on social media began to explode. By the fourth day, entertainment news also picked up the story—"The Godfather of Plastic Surgery comes to China, celebrities line up to book appointments."
Director Lan's office phone was blown up, and the hospital's switchboard broke down three times. The nurse station in the Plastic Surgery department was flooded with flowers and gifts, all addressed to "Professor Ivan."
"The situation is out of control," Director Lan said in an emergency meeting, rubbing his temples, "Yesterday, I received seventeen 'introductions,' from Ministry of Health officials to business tycoons, all wanting to jump the line. Today is even more exaggerated; a celebrity agent came directly to my home, far more explosive than last time."
