A week quickly passed, and we entered the scorching midsumr season.
To free up more ti for the wedding at the end of the month, as well as the honeymoon, Lin Jie had arranged his work schedule to be extrely tight.
Treating patients, teaching surgeries, advising on tumor treatnts, giving lectures, and more—he was busy like a spinning top every day.
Currently, Felix, a patient under Lin Jie's care, has already been discharged and returned to the United Kingdom; the conditions of Luther and Alexandersson's wife are improving.
Gao Qin's health is rapidly recovering, and there is no longer a need for Lin Jie to continue monitoring her.
The only concern for him is the condition of the chieftain.
Under the constant pressure from the implanted expander, the chieftain's brain tumor is slowly shifting.
However, this also results in the chieftain's intracranial pressure remaining at a dangerously high level, posing a risk of sudden incidents like brain herniation or hemorrhage at any ti.
Another possibility is that the brain tumor could suddenly shift rapidly, making it suitable for surgery.
Lin Jie hoped that the chieftain's brain tumor wouldn't so coincidentally beco operable during his wedding or honeymoon.
The tumor cannot wait once it ets the surgical criteria; surgery is required imdiately to prevent unexpected occurrences.
Over the past week, there was also a piece of good news that pleased Lin Jie.
The patients in the annex have finally all been discharged.
All the staff of the annex quietly withdrew the night the last two patients were discharged.
The next morning, Cheng Xingguang looked at the newly cleaned and refreshed annex with many emotions.
The annex has not been restored by the Affiliated Hospital to its original state as a dical examination center but continues to be used as a ward.
On the morning of July 24, Lin Jie arrived at the Baiyulan Hotel adjacent to the Binhai City Governnt.
Here, he would witness the signing of an agreent by the city governnt, Binhai University, the Health Committee, and the Ministry of Education to jointly build the Binhai University dical School.
Lin Jie stepped into the solemn and grand hall on the second floor of the hotel, finding over a hundred gathered people engaged in small groups with warm conversations.
Introduced by Gong Xuepeng, who had arrived earlier, he t the presidents of several renowned universities in Binhai and so gray- or white-haired academicians from the dical community.
After proactively eting these people and exchanging pleasantries with so acquaintances, Lin Jie took a drink and chose a relatively secluded spot in the tranquil area of the hall to sit down.
Given his current identity and status, apart from those university presidents and academicians, he no longer needed to actively introduce himself to others, as he could just wait for them to co to him.
However, after sitting down, Lin Jie slightly closed his eyes, putting on a "resting his eyes" posture.
This made many who intended to greet him hesitate, fearing that their attempt to connect would be unwelco and would rather annoy him…
"Old Tao, long ti no see!"
Tao Taqing, in conversation, turned towards the voice and found it was a familiar acquaintance coming over.
It was an old university classmate, Wang Lu, the director of a dical research institute in Capital City.
"Old Wang, hello, hello! Indeed, it's been a long ti!"
Tao Taqing embraced the visitor warmly and joyfully asked, "Did you co over with those from the Capital City this ti, or were you invited?"
Wang Lu chuckled, "I ca on my own."
"I happened to hear that the signing ceremony for the relocation of Bin University dical College was here, and I thought I would et many old friends, so I shalessly asked for an invitation and blended in."
He sighed, "From the mont I heard about the news of Binhai University dical School's relocation to the signing and start-up, it took only a month or two."
"The efficiency truly leaves in awe."
"In my experience, for major events like this, doesn't it usually take one to two, or even three to five years of repeated surveys and feasibility studies?"
Tao Taqing chuckled and said, "This is mainly because one person's ti is precious, extraordinarily precious, and cannot be wasted or delayed!"
"Whose ti is so preci..."
Wang Lu realized and lowered his voice to ask, "Old Tao, do you an Expert Lin?"
Tao Taqing nodded and said, "We all understand Lin Expert's actual situation. We can't predict his future health condition."
"The relocation of Bin University dical College is clearly aid at Anlin Hospital and Expert Lin."
"Naturally, it's crucial to proceed during the golden period when Expert Lin is healthy."
Wang Lu nodded, expressing concern, "It is evident to anyone with eyes how powerful an individual can be. Anlin Hospital, which just started operations, only needs three to five years solidifying its foundation to beco a world-recognized dical center."
"He can also easily lead a dical college within three to five years."
He sighed again, "Not to ntion, in the past six months alone, the nurous papers Expert Lin published in journals like 'The Lancet' have imnsely elevated Binhai University's international research ranking by dozens of places."
Noticing that no one was paying attention to his conversation with Tao Taqing, Wang Lu whispered, "Old Tao, I know you are good friends with Professor Chen Shi from Bin University dical College and have an excellent relationship with Expert Lin."
"I'd like to ask you for a favor..."
Tao Taqing interrupted, "Old Wang, you are not asking to arrange for Expert Lin to see a patient, are you?"
"You might not know, but Expert Lin is getting married at the end of this month. He has already stated that he is not accepting new patients at this ti."
"It's not about a patient!"
Wang Lu laughed, composed his thoughts, and said, "Old Tao, here's the situation."
"It's said that this ti the Health Commission, the Ministry of Education, and the Binhai City Governnt are providing substantial support for the relocation of the dical School. Their determination is huge, and their ambitions are lofty, making the Capital City's Peking Union dical College envious, yet helpless."
"I won't say much about other things, but regarding the dean of this dical School, they plan to hang the vice principal title on him, but he'll enjoy the treatnt of a principal…"
"You wouldn't be planning to sche for this dean position, would you?" Tao Taqing looked surprised.
Wang Lu shook his head and laughed, "Old Tao, you really have quite the imagination. I'm not qualified for that."
"According to reliable sources…"
He leaned closer to Tao Taqing and lowered his voice, saying, "Dean Yuan Guangxi will be transferred to the Health Commission. As for who will take over the dean position, that's still unknown."
Tao Taqing was sowhat stunned and couldn't help but say, "Why would he agree to being reassigned?"
"Considering his age and position, another term would almost reach his retirent. Ending his career with the successful relocation and prominence of the dical School is such an honorable thing."
Wang Lu chuckled aningfully, "This is likely an organizational decision, not sothing Dean Yuan can decide on his own."
"My brother-in-law works at the Health Commission, and he wants to maneuver to beco an assistant dean or sothing at Bin University dical College…"
Tao Taqing ca to his senses and chuckled, "You guys are preparing for the next dean position?"
Wang Lu, with his intentions revealed, didn't hide it, chuckling lightly, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier."
"However, this is just a plan. After all, the position of dean at Bin University dical College is decided by soone at the ministerial level, not sothing we can influence."
Tao Taqing joked, "Wrong, Expert Lin has significant decision-making power."
He paused and then asked, "Are you trying to get your brother-in-law to et and befriend Expert Lin through ?"
Wang Lu nodded and said, "That's exactly the idea."
Tao Taqing pondered and said, "It's not difficult to et, arranging a al with Expert Lin is doable."
"However, Old Wang, whether your brother-in-law can beco friends with Expert Lin is up to him."
"Expert Lin is a surgeon, a dical expert. You can treat him as a rather pure scholar. The kind of superficial or usual ways of making friends won't work on him…"
At this mont, Lin Jie's short break was finally interrupted by soone insensitive.
"Health Tis?"
Lin Jie eyed the business card handed over by the person in front of him, knowing that the man in his forties was Su Luming, an editor of Health Tis.
Su Luming introduced himself, "Expert Lin, our Health Tis is the nation's number one newspaper in dicine, health, and wellness, and the only central-level health lifestyle newspaper."
"Expert Lin, can I schedule an interview with you?"
Lin Jie politely declined, "Chief Editor Su, you can find answers about my personal situation and dical work online, so there's no need to waste ti with an interview."
Su Luming understood, taking it as a refusal.
Still unwilling to give up, he asked, "Expert Lin, may I ask you one question? Just one question!"
Lin Jie reluctantly said, "Alright, just one question, only one question."
Given the permission, Su Luming quickly took out a recorder and asked, "Expert Lin, may I?"
Lin Jie nodded, sowhat impatiently said, "Go ahead and ask!"
Su Luming pressed the record button, saying, "Our readers of Health Tis are mainly middle-aged and elderly people who pay close attention to health and wellness."
"In the past month or two, ginseng, as an important health-nourishing dicinal material, has seen its price skyrocket."
"And the reason for this surge in ginseng prices is attributed to the cancer treatnt drug you developed, the Life No.1 Inducer…"
Lin Jie did not expect this question.
Thinking about the previous agreent with Cai Jinqiang, he instantly realized that today was indeed a great opportunity.
After the question was asked, Lin Jie contemplated and said, "First, let make it clear that the recent surge in ginseng prices is not due to our pharma company's excessive purchasing of ginseng, but because of speculation by capital traders."
"In fact, we stopped purchasing and storing ginseng more than a month ago."
"The ginseng we've reserved, along with the close cooperation with ginseng farms, can guarantee our ginseng needs for two to three years."
Su Luming pursued further, "Expert Lin, you an that in the next two to three years, you won't be making large purchases of ginseng from the market?"
Lin Jie nodded and said, "That's right. We will only make small purchases and supplents, not large procurents."
Su Luming inquired further, "Expert Lin, is it true that the amount of ginseng used in the Life No.1 Inducer is not as much as what's being publicized outside?"
Lin Jie explained, "In the Life No.1 Inducer, although ginseng is the main ingredient, it is just one among four or five primary ingredients, and the usage is indeed not as much as rumored outside."
"Moreover, this tumor induction new therapy is still in a deeper experintal stage. Its promotion and training require a process, and it will be a lengthy process."
"To master this new therapy, it also imposes quite high demands on doctors. It requires a prolonged period of learning and proficiency."
"To put it this way, in three to five years, training one thousand doctors who are well-versed in this new therapy would be great."
"This number of doctors, treating patients per year, would only be in the tens of thousands range!"
"This patient amount requires relatively low ginseng quantities…"
At this mont, warm applause echoed in the hall, and Lin Jie saw more than a dozen officials, including the secretary and mayor of Binhai City, stride into the hall.
