At 9:20, a group of guests from the Capital City arrived together.
The elderly lady of the Ma Family from the Capital City, along with her considerably taller yet still timid grandson and her second daughter-in-law, who was more than seven months pregnant, expressed their gratitude and congratulations to Lin Jie.
A pretty little girl, who was still a bit unsteady on her feet, presented Lin Jie with a bouquet of fresh flowers.
Seeing this adorable little girl stumble into Xie Rubing's arms, Lin Jie rembered that he had once perford heart defect corrective surgery on her.
A young man from the Capital City, who had suffered a severe liver puncture wound, shyly expressed his gratitude to Lin Jie for saving his life.
Lin Jie also received congratulations from Shu Jiaxiang, whose right leg had once been seriously injured, and Shao Deyao, who had undergone voice correction surgery.
At 9:30, representatives from dical institutions worldwide, along with exchange doctors, arrived at Anlin Hospital in four luxury buses after checking into the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
After 9:40, the number of guests from Binhai City who ca to congratulate noticeably increased.
Qi Yuanou arrived closely after his old rival Li Ao'ge, accompanied by three young white n and a young black man.
This ti, many people from the Du Family in Binhai ca. Besides Du Feixue, her grandfather, the master of traditional Chinese painting Du Haishan, her uncle, father, and cousin also ca.
Yu Momo was also following Du Feixue, mingling with the Du Family mbers.
Due to Du Feixue's connections, the main building projects of Anlin Hospital's inpatient building, Anlin Garden, and Anlin Precision were mostly contracted out to the Du Family's construction company.
Anlin Group can now be considered the Du Family's most important client.
The Du Family's gift was a huge spring landscape painting created by Master Du Haishan.
When Lin Jie sent the Du Family off from the reception area, he intentionally kept Du Feixue and Yu Momo behind and asked, "Aren't you shooting a movie on location? How co you have ti to co back?"
Du Feixue sincerely said, "Such a big event as the opening of Anlin Hospital, as your good friend and Kexin's best friend, no important matter could stop from coming to congratulate you."
Lin Jie, with disbelief on his face, said, "Stop kidding, do you really think the opening of Anlin Hospital is more important than your movie? I don't believe that."
"Momo, you tell the real reason."
Yu Momo glanced at Du Feixue and said frankly, "Brother Jie, the actual filming on location is much harder and more dangerous than we imagined, especially when shooting so disaster action scenes."
"Yesterday, there was another minor incident. The lead actor, Hu Ge, got injured and needs about a week to recuperate, so the crew is temporarily on break."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie let out a long and aningful "oh."
Du Feixue snorted lightly and said, "I've been getting up earlier than the rooster and going to bed later than the dog, and I'm almost exhausted."
"As soon as I got back to Binhai, I didn't even take a proper rest and hurried over to congratulate Anlin Hospital's opening. Isn't that enough sincerity? Lin Jie, don't be ungrateful."
Lin Jie ignored her, examining the slightly tanned and sowhat fatigued Yu Momo, and asked, "Momo, from what you said, do accidents happen often? Are you okay?"
When Lin Jie asked this, Yu Momo's eyes beca red and she said sowhat aggrievedly, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Jie. I'm fine, it's nothing major, I just got a little hurt before."
"But it's already scabbed over, it's just..."
Yu Momo was wearing a pair of cropped skinny pants, showing off her long, straight legs which were quite eye-catching.
She gestured to the outside of her left thigh and asked worriedly, "Brother Jie, there's just a scar more than ten centiters long here, it's so ugly that I'm afraid to wear hot pants."
"Brother Jie, could you?"
Lin Jie understood what she ant and nodded, "It shouldn't be a problem. Just co to when you have ti."
At that mont, a commotion ca from the hall entrance.
Lin Jie looked through the gap in the greenery and saw over a dozen plainly dressed people, each carrying large bags, being led in by Lin Miao and An Keng.
He beca curious and went to et them.
When those people saw Lin Jie, they all shouted, "Dr. Lin, Dr. Lin, we're from the Bamboo Sea in western Sichuan. We've been entrusted by the villagers to co and congratulate you on the hospital's opening."
Upon hearing they were from the Bamboo Sea, Lin Jie imdiately realized and quickly said, "Thank you! Thank you! I appreciate your thoughtfulness. You really didn't have to make such a long journey just for this."
Among them, the leader was a man in his forties or fifties, sowhat lean.
With a strong local accent, he said, "It's necessary, it's necessary!"
"We all know that without Dr. Lin, we wouldn't be here. We don't have anything good, just so local specialties as a token of our gratitude."
After accepting the large bags they brought, Lin Jie pulled Lin Miao and An Keng aside and instructed them to take good care of these visitors from the Bamboo Sea.
Not seeing Yuanyuan, he asked with concern.
Lin Miao said angrily, "A traitor, unwilling to stay with us, scurried off with that kid Ye Chen."
Watching Lin Miao and An Keng lead the Bamboo Sea people away, Lin Jie turned around and saw Cheng Xingguang, Fang Lianggong, Pan Xinli, and Zhou Hongzhi each carrying two or three bags, leaving contentedly without saying a word.
Gee, this is blatant, isn't it?
Lin Jie was about to go forward and scold them when out of the corner of his eye he saw an elderly man being escorted into the hall.
It was the Fu family's elderly patriarch, who hadn't shown his face in a long ti.
Lin Jie hurriedly went up to him and respectfully said, "Hello, Elder!"
"Hello, Dr. Lin!"
The old patriarch of the Fu Family reached out and patted Lin Jie's shoulder, smiling satisfactorily, "Dr. Lin, you are doing wonderfully, don't be arrogant, keep bringing glory to the nation!"
"Yes, I will continue to work hard!"
Lin Jie observed the old patriarch's complexion and deanor, seeing that he looked good and his steps were steady, he felt relieved and exchanged greetings with Fu Hekun, Fu Hechang, Fu Xiuyuan, and others who accompanied the elder.
Personally escorting the old patriarch and his companions to a rest area, Lin Jie returned to the reception area to continue accepting guests' congratulations.
There were really quite a lot of guests coming to congratulate, most of whom were there because of Lin Jie.
Lin Jie barely had more than a handshake and a few words with each before he had to welco the next incoming guest.
Lin Jie was busy to the point he didn't even have ti to take a sip of water.
Amidst this busyness, ti quickly slipped to ten forty, and several seemingly ordinary minibuses parked in front of the main building, while reporters who had arrived early were already lifting their caras.
Upon receiving the news, Lin Jie, An Weize, An Kexin, Gong Xuepeng, and Ye Hongqing went to the entrance of the hall to welco the guests, seeing the minibuses being opened by stern-looking staff, and several familiar faces alighting from the vehicles.
The first to get off was Minister Xiao Chen from the Health Commission, followed by Mayor Han from Binhai City, and a general with a major general's epaulettes accompanied by ng Yang from the Veterans Protection Center.
Minister Xiao shook Lin Jie's hand with a gentle smile and said, "Representatives from thirty-five countries and sixty-seven internationally renowned dical institutions have co to congratulate the opening. You truly are remarkable, Expert Lin."
"On behalf of the Health Commission, I extend my congratulations along with a token of appreciation."
Saying this, Minister Xiao took a copper plaque about the size of an A3 paper from a nearby staff mber and handed it over.
Lin Jie received it with both hands to see the inscription "Anlin Tumor Research Center National Key Laboratory."
"There's one more!"
Lin Jie received another plaque from Minister Xiao, engraved with "Anlin Intelligent dical System Research Center National Key Laboratory."
Minister Xiao chuckled lightly, "These two plaques are registered with the Ministry of Education and the State Council's Academic Committee and have received special approval."
"Specifically, each plaque will receive an annual support fund of twenty million from the Health Commission, and there will be preferential policies in project funding, personnel allocation, and postgraduate program approval."
He further explained, "This ans with these plaques, Anlin Hospital is recognized as a formal dical research institution by the nation, able to recruit master's and doctoral students acknowledged by the state."
Lin Jie listened to this great news, happily handing the plaques to An Kexin.
"Expert Lin, let introduce you!"
Minister Xiao gestured towards the general beside ng Yang and said, "This is Major General Yuan Ran from the Logistics Departnt of the Military Commission, here on behalf of the Logistics Departnt."
"Expert Lin, hello!"
Yuan Ran shook Lin Jie's hand and laughed, "On behalf of the Logistics Departnt, I warmly congratulate the opening of Anlin Hospital and hope the hospitals under the departnt can establish closer exchange and cooperation with Expert Lin and Anlin Hospital."
Following General Yuan, Mayor Han also proactively shook Lin Jie's hand and said, "The city governnt has passed a resolution that Anlin Hospital will be included in the list for municipal financial subsidies, enjoying the sa benefits as public hospitals."
"Moreover, both levels of governnt and finance in the city district will provide maximum support for Anlin Hospital's developnt, helping it beco an internationally renowned, top-tier dical center."
Witnessing this scene, the dostic hospital directors who were observing felt sowhat conflicted.
Even if so felt a bit bitter inside, in such a setting, no one would be foolish enough to show it, and they all extended their hands to applaud, congratulating Anlin Hospital on gaining a great opportunity for growth.
At eleven eighteen, Anlin Hospital officially held its opening ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Lin Jie, Minister Xiao, Mayor Han, Yuan Ran, the old patriarch of the Fu Family, and An Weize jointly cut the ribbon.
