Village Doctor's Women-Chapter 206 - 200 You and my sister-in-law is impossible.

As it turned out, Yang Zhongyuan was right. The proposal, whether in terms of the team or its direction, gave the leadership no reason to refuse. To catch up with this year’s agenda, the station promptly gave the project the green light. This also led to a surprisingly large investment in both personnel and funding for the documentary, rivaling that of a high-traffic variety show. It was a clear sign of the station’s high regard for the project.

A conclusion was reached in just three days.

This level of efficiency was considered incredible, even by the station’s own staff.

Word that the provincial station intended to produce a documentary about medical care spread quickly.

A week later, Angel was leading a team of twenty to Shanghai City.

On Angel’s team, Huang Long was in charge of videography. Having previously gone to Paigou Village with her, the two of them had worked together multiple times, so they were more comfortable talking to each other than with the others. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

They could even sneakily discuss things that were inappropriate to mention to the rest of the team.

The news of Angel leading the project was a hot topic at the station. If it weren’t widely known that she was a highly educated and capable executive hire, she might have been reported by now.

On the way there, Huang Long asked, "Do you know anything about this Wang Jian guy?"

He had been there during the last trip to Paigou Village, but he hadn’t paid much attention when Angel went to question the village doctor, Wang Jian.

Before Angel could even respond, Huang Long added, "This shoot is pretty important for you. If there’s nothing worth filming and you can’t produce a finished piece, you’ll be in a tough spot."

They were both in the same boat, so while Huang Long’s words seemed like a reminder for Angel, they were also an expression of his own anxiety. After so many years at the TV station, he had finally become a team lead in the cinematography department, which naturally made him more cautious.

"Don’t worry," Angel chuckled, understanding his concern. "I did a lot of research when drafting the proposal. This Wang Jian isn’t just some simple village doctor. He returned from Capital City; he’s a prime example. There will definitely be plenty to film."

Hearing this, Huang Long felt a huge weight lift from his shoulders.

"Besides, we want to capture the authenticity of village doctors. The closer to real life, the more authentic, the better," Angel said. Her knowledge of Wang Jian wasn’t much greater than Huang Long’s. It had initially come from Li Dayu, but to Angel, his descriptions sounded like boasting, painting the picture of a very unusual village doctor. Later, Cai Qiong had also approached her and, over the past two weeks, had been relentlessly promoting him.

She couldn’t ignore it even if she wanted to. If even half of what she’d heard was true, then finding material for the documentary would be no problem at all.

"Perhaps this Wang Jian will surprise us."

Huang Long shook his head and chuckled, unconvinced.

It’s just a village doctor, after all. If it weren’t for the assignment from our superiors, we wouldn’t be filming this in the first place. What kind of surprises can a village doctor offer? He just treats colds and fevers. It’s not like he can cure cancer or tumors, can he?

The news that the provincial TV station was coming to film the village doctor had been passed down from the city to Paigou Village. So, in addition to Wang Jian and Cai Qiong, Li Dayu was also in on it.

"You’re going to be on TV!"

When Li Dayu burst into the clinic with the news, he was far more excited than Wang Jian was.

Even Chairman Kang, listening from the side, was somewhat astonished. This was likely due to the recent popularity of documentaries like *Life Gate*.

"Why aren’t you reacting at all?"

Seeing Wang Jian still calmly examining his patient, Li Dayu sighed. "This is the provincial TV station, not some small-fry local station."

"So what?"

Wang Jian didn’t even look up, his attention fully focused on the patient before him. The man’s condition was unusual: a mole had appeared on his face, and it had accumulated a significant amount of black toxin, posing a risk of malignant transformation.

This was far more complex than a simple mole or freckle.

Compared to that, appearing on television seemed utterly trivial.

Seeing his reaction, not only Li Dayu but also the patient being examined by Wang Jian was baffled. "Doctor Wang," the patient said, his expression awkward, "maybe... we can do this another day?"

"Another day?" Wang Jian looked down at the middle-aged man, noting his indifference toward his own condition. "You can wait," he said flatly, "but the thing on your face won’t."

"It’s just a mole, isn’t it? I think it can wait..."

"No need to wait. Just give me a few minutes."

Wang Jian took out a scalpel. At the sight of the blade’s cold glint, the patient immediately shut his mouth.

Even Li Dayu beside them chose to remain silent. He only spoke again after Wang Jian had sent the patient off and begun washing his hands. "They’re just shooting a documentary. They said it’s to show the true state of rural medical conditions, so they want to film village doctors. Our village was chosen as a model example..."

Wang Jian scrubbed his hands, completely uninterested in what he was saying. "As long as it doesn’t interfere with my treatments."

"It definitely won’t," Li Dayu beamed. As long as Wang Jian didn’t object, anything was fine. "They’ll just be recording from the side, kind of like what Miss Cai did before. Don’t worry."

At the mention of Cai Qiong, Wang Jian paused his handwashing. He narrowed his eyes and sighed, recalling her and Xu Qian’s strange behavior lately. They were always talking to him about promotion, about making the village doctor’s practice bigger and stronger.

He’d bet anything that Cai Qiong was involved in this documentary business.

Well, since it was happening, he might as well go with it. If it could genuinely increase the influence of village doctors, it would be a good thing for everyone.

Wang Jian said goodbye to Li Dayu, left the clinic in Chairman Kang’s care, and hurried home.

He had intended to find Cai Qiong directly, but when he got home, Xu Qian was also there. He had things to discuss with Cai Qiong that weren’t convenient to talk about with Xu Qian around.

As darkness fell, Paigou Village began to slumber, just as it did every night.

Since moving to Paigou Village, Chairman Kang and Cai Qiong had also developed a habit of going to bed early. It was only nine o’clock, but everyone had already retired to their rooms.

The world grew exceptionally quiet.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, Wang Jian slipped over to Cai Qiong’s door and knocked.

"You... Why are you here at this hour?"

Cai Qiong was startled. There were no lights on outside, and when the lamp from inside her room illuminated Wang Jian’s face, her heart began to race. "It’s so late. Are you not asleep yet?"

As Cai Qiong spoke, she poked her head out to look both ways, sighing in relief when she saw no one.

Wang Jian whispered, "Don’t bother looking. I waited until they were all asleep before I came over."

"Ah... what?"

Her face reddened as she processed his words. She quickly pulled Wang Jian inside and shut the door.

The room wasn’t bright, lit only by a dim bedside lamp. Soft music, her favorite, was playing at a low volume as she was trying to wind down.

This was Wang Jian’s first time inside Cai Qiong’s room.

Since Cai Qiong had decided to stay with them, Xu Qian had cleared out this room for her. Cai Qiong brought over many of her own things from her house, and it was safe to say the room was now entirely hers. At least, it looked that way—it bore no resemblance to its previous state.

Looking around her room, Wang Jian confirmed one thing.

It seemed that lesbians also liked the color pink.

In contrast to his calm demeanor, Cai Qiong was in a complete panic.

She was still in her silk pajamas, with nothing on underneath. A single glance was all it would take for Wang Jian to see everything; the sheer fabric hid nothing.

How could Cai Qiong not be flustered in a situation like this?

Amidst her panic, her mind was a jumbled mess, unable to comprehend why Wang Jian would suddenly come to find her at this hour.

"Sorry for coming at this hour..." Wang Jian sat down in the beanbag chair and explained, "I have something I want to talk to you about, but it’s not convenient with others around, so..."

Wang Jian held out his hands, not wanting her to misunderstand. However, as he looked at her, his gaze fell upon the very thing she didn’t want him to see, and the words caught in his throat.

The dim light filtered through the silk, outlining a perfect silhouette against her pajamas.

Wang Jian had never looked at her so closely before; he realized Cai Qiong was actually quite beautiful.

"What did you want to say to me?"

Cai Qiong was going crazy. Why did he stop halfway? Didn’t he know he was speaking right to her heart?

But she could also feel his burning gaze on her.

It would be a lie to say she wasn’t nervous. All she could do was pretend not to notice... though perhaps, deep down, she didn’t mind. She just hadn’t realized it yet.

Is he about to confess?

That was the only question on Cai Qiong’s mind right now. What Wang Jian was looking at was completely unimportant.

The time, the place, the atmosphere... it was all perfectly set for something to happen, for certain words to be said.

Especially with what Wang Jian had just said—it was so obvious.

Cai Qiong’s heart was pounding in her throat.

But Wang Jian’s next sentence sent her crashing down from cloud nine.

"You and my sister-in-law are impossible."

"You know that, right?"

"I’m not going to help you."
