The next morning, Xiangtai Apartnt.
An Kexin held a suit against Lin Jie, shook her head, and said, "This one doesn't look mature enough!"
She picked out another outfit to asure Lin Jie, still dissatisfied, and said, "It doesn't showcase your charisma enough."
Lin Jie reached out and grabbed the outfit, quickly said, "I think this one is pretty good!"
"Kexin, I'm not the groom today, dressing a little formally is enough, there's no need to be flawless."
"This one's no good!"
An Kexin domineeringly took back the clothes from Lin Jie's hand, humd, "You're the groom's teacher and the bride's cousin-in-law. Many guests are only attending because of you."
"So, your outfit can't be careless."
Lin Jie resisted the urge to roll his eyes, said, "It's already past eight o'clock, we should hurry up."
"You are Manqing's real cousin, she's getting married today. Normally, you should be busy helping out at her place these days."
An Kexin chuckled, "Well, you're my boyfriend, so I have privileges."
"I don't have to worry about the wedding there, Keng is helping. I just need to take care of you and then attend the ceremony at Qushui Garden."
Seeing An Kexin grabbing another outfit to asure on him, shaking her head dissatisfied and putting it back, Lin Jie couldn't help but remind again, "Even if you have privileges, you shouldn't completely act like an outsider."
"Go early to greet the guests, fulfill so family duties…"
Just as Lin Jie was speaking, he heard his phone ringing urgently.
He went to the bedside and discovered it was a call from Guan Yifan at Binhai University Affiliated Hospital.
Lin Jie answered the call, inquiring, "Dr. Guan, what's the matter..."
"What? How could this be..."
After listening to the explanation, Lin Jie angrily said, "Wasn't it already stressed that his tongue is mostly damaged, his swallowing function is limited, and the intake of food should be strictly monitored?"
After listening for a while, Lin Jie silently hung up the phone.
He sighed and said to the concerned An Kexin, "Do you rember a few weeks ago, I took in a unlucky kid whose face was blown up by a homade beer can bomb?"
An Kexin nodded, "Of course, wasn't it said that he was recovering well post-surgery?"
"Has he t with another accident?"
Lin Jie sighed lightly, "Dead, this ti he truly got himself killed, choked to death while eating."
"Choked to death?" An Kexin was sowhat surprised.
Lin Jie sighed deeply, "It was the Dragon Boat Festival, the kid's dad was eating sticky rice dumplings and ca to relieve the mom who watched overnight."
"During that ti, he got a phone call, left the leftover dumplings in the ward, and went to the hallway to take the call."
"By the ti he finished the call and returned to the ward, he found the child had lost his breath."
"Doctors eventually found the unlucky kid's airway blocked by sticky rice, and so he died."
An Kexin was speechless, comforting, "No one wanted such an accident, don't feel troubled, don't dwell on this."
"Today is a big joyous day."
Just then, there was a rhythmic knocking on the door.
Listening carefully, one could make out the beat of "Little Bunny, Be Good."
Lin Jie opened the door and saw the adorable Yuanyuan, dressed like a little princess, standing outside, pouting, "Uncle, you're not ready yet? I want to see the beautiful bride soon."
"Almost ready!"
Lin Jie bent down and picked up Yuanyuan, chuckling lightly, "Co on, Yuanyuan, help Uncle choose an outfit that looks very handso, okay?"
Yuanyuan clapped her little hands, crisply replied, "Okay..."
Lin Jie, Lin Miao, and An Kexin took Yuanyuan to Qushui Garden, just past ten in the morning.
At this ti, there were still few guests, mostly busy staff around.
They admired the ready ceremony stage with red carpet and flowers, then left the building and enjoyed the early sumr scenery in the garden.
Leading the jumping Yuanyuan through half the garden, Lin Jie saw Liu iyi dressed festively walking towards them.
Lin Jie laughed, "Boss Liu, with a big boss like you personally overseeing, today's wedding certainly won't go wrong."
Liu iyi smiled and said, "Expert Lin, you jest. If organizing a wedding event required my personal supervision, Crown Holiday Hotel would have closed long ago."
"Today, I'm here as a guest."
"Which side are you a guest of?" Lin Jie curiously asked!
"Principal Pan's wife and I are sowhat related. The An Family is an old custor of the hotel, and Mr. An Weize is an old friend. You could say I'm a guest of both sides."
Liu iyi explained, then laughed, "Expert Lin, I've already engaged in negotiations for a plot of land across from Qushui Garden and plan to build a five-star hotel here."
"Expert Lin, are you interested in investing a bit?"
Lin Jie shook his head, smiled, "To be honest, Boss Liu, I already owe several billion to the bank, I really don't have any money."
"That's capital, you know. Ordinary people can't even dream of owing a few billion to the bank, let alone a few million. It's simply impossible."
Liu iyi's expression turned a bit formal, and she said, "Expert Lin, my invitation is sincere."
"With the developnt of the Phoenix Mountain District, the nearby West City area is only temporarily quiet, but in the near future, it will inevitably be elevated by it."
"Next year, with the opening of the subway and direct expressway, the travel ti from here to the Phoenix Mountain District will be no more than half an hour."
"This exactly falls within the hotel's radius."
"Building the hotel here gives great confidence in future profits, not to ntion the added effect of Qushui Garden."
She further tempted, "If Expert Lin is concerned about profitability, I can sign an agreent, using Crown Holiday Hotel as a guarantee, ensuring your investnt will generate an annual return of no less than 12%."
Seeing the honesty in the proposal, Lin Jie politely replied, "Boss Liu, I don't doubt your vision or the hotel's profits; it's just that I really can't co up with any funds to invest now."
"Unless there's another foolish bank willing to loan money..."
"I'm very willing to continue being that foolish bank..."
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Jie turned around to see Fu Hekun from Four Seas Bank and Qi Yuanou from Xinggang Football Club walking over together.
"Expert Lin, Boss Liu, I'm not eavesdropping intentionally."
Fu Hekun explained with a smile, "Old Qi and I wanted to co over to say hello, and we happened to overhear your conversation."
"Boss Liu can guarantee at least a 12% annual return. With this as collateral, Expert Lin, if you want a loan, whether it's five billion or ten billion, just say the number and you can have it!"
Liu iyi looked at Lin Jie with twinkling eyes and said, "Expert Lin, the chairman of Four Seas Bank has already spoken, whether our collaboration succeeds or not depends entirely on your word!"
Lin Jie looked at Liu iyi, then at Fu Hekun, and chuckled, "Why do I feel like you two have already discussed this privately, just waiting for to step in?"
"Expert Lin, I wouldn't dare set a trap for you!"
Although Lin Jie seed to be joking, Liu iyi did not take it lightly and hurriedly explained, "To be honest, I have my eyes on the custor base attracted by Anlin Hospital."
"With the reputation of Anlin Hospital, it's foreseeable that it will certainly draw patients from around the world, and attract attention from the global dical community."
"Judging by Anlin Hospital's positioning, patients coming for treatnt there have certain affluence, and the dical professionals coming for exchange and study are all high-inco groups."
"This part of the custor base has considerable demands for mid-to-high-end accommodation."
"Moreover, building a new five-star hotel ans I indeed need new investors. Considering everything, Expert Lin, you are naturally the best partner choice."
Fu Hekun also explained, "Expert Lin, I assure you, I and Boss Liu really haven't communicated about this matter."
"As for Four Seas Bank's willingness to extend loans to you, Expert Lin..."
He said in a deep voice, "Expert Lin, we have a risk control team that specifically tracks and investigates the risk changes of important loan entities."
"According to this team's conclusions, whether it's Anlin Hospital, Anlin Garden, Anlin Pharmaceutical, Anlin Intelligent dical, or Anlin Precision, all have exceptionally high success potential."
"Couple that with your connections and the resources behind you; guess what internal credit limit our Four Seas Bank currently offers you?"
"What is it?" Lin Jie and An Kexin asked simultaneously.
Fu Hekun replied slowly, "I'll breach bank regulations and disclose that this number is..."
"Ten billion!"
He further explained, "This ten billion is purely for a credit loan. If collateralizing with shares or other valuable assets, this number could be even higher."
Lin Jie simply laughed, saying, "I didn't expect I'm so valuable now, casually getting a loan under ten billion from the bank."
Fu Hekun also laughed, saying, "Honestly, I think the ten billion limit is sowhat conservative and doesn't fully reflect your value, Expert Lin."
At this point, Lin Jie noticed his hand being tugged.
Looking down, he saw Yuanyuan pouting at him.
Lin Jie realized she was getting impatient and wanted him to take her for a stroll in the garden.
Lin Jie thought for a mont and said, "Boss Liu, today is not the best ti for discussing matters; I will seriously consider your investnt invitation. Let's talk about this on another day!"
"Okay! How about this, I'll contact you again in a week's ti, okay?"
Seeing Lin Jie nod, Liu iyi didn't say more and bid farewell.
Fu Hekun and Qi Yuanou also exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving together.
Lin Jie continued to stroll in the garden with little Yuanyuan.
Lin Miao asked, "Brother, Sister Kexin, the bank's loan rates won't be higher than twelve. This investnt opportunity seems like Boss Liu and Four Seas Bank teaming up to give us money?"
An Kexin laughed lightly, "Miaomiao, once you reach a certain level and status, making money becos an easy thing."
"Just like Boss Liu said, with Ajie's investnt in shares, the family mbers of patients coming to Anlin Hospital for treatnt and the doctors coming for exchange will have accommodation needs, and Holiday Inn will surely be their first choice."
"Paying this 12% is really worthwhile for Boss Liu. And for Four Seas Bank, it's also a quality loan with no reason to refuse."
At this mont, Lin Jie received a call from Ling ngjiao.
"Lin Jie, several people, headed by the deputy director of Johns Hopkins Hospital from the United States, intentionally ca to the studio saying they're here to visit you and discuss cooperation!"
Discuss cooperation?
Lin Jie was a bit puzzled. Isn't Johns Hopkins Hospital a deep partner of Phoenix Mountain Hospital?
