Cheng Xingguang said in a deep voice: "Minister Xiao may have been subtle, but I sensed the underlying aning—it's not advisable to overly exploit Expert Lin!"
Lin Jie couldn't help but snort lightly, saying, "You make it sound like I'm a revolutionary brick, to be moved wherever needed. Dean Cheng, let remind you, getting to work isn't that easy."
"I know! I'm well aware of that point!"
Cheng Xingguang chuckled: "With the relationship between us, I wouldn't dare, nor would I want to drain Expert Lin's energy! But to lend a helping hand where you can, surely you wouldn't refuse?"
Lin Jie expressed his stance: "Of course, if it benefits the developnt of the country's dical education, within my capabilities, I wouldn't shirk my duty."
Cheng Xingguang happily said: "I'm very satisfied with your assurance, Expert Lin."
"Hey, Expert Lin, the freshman military training at Binhai University's recently started, and the dical orientation class in cooperation with Anlin Hospital and the dical College is included too."
"As far as I know, besides your sister-in-law An Keng, there's another student absent..."
Lin Jie continued the conversation, saying: "I know that student, they were probably sent abroad by their parents."
"One less person is just one less. If half of them persist till the end, that's really good. There are always those who can't continue for various reasons."
Cheng Xingguang lightly acknowledged over the phone, asking: "Expert Lin, about the curriculum for their class?"
"I'm working on it. The first-year curriculum is almost done, I'll revise it and send it to the college in three to five days."
Cheng Xingguang said reassuringly: "I knew that Expert Lin's dedication to their training is comndable."
"The dical College has high hopes for them and certainly will provide the best teaching resources and extend as many possible resources to support their training..."
After hanging up the call with Cheng Xingguang, Lin Jie pulled An Kexin along to play a high platform diving ga.
At seven in the evening, the group gathered on the third deck for dinner.
There are two chefs on the yacht, one proficient in French cuisine, the other in Cantonese cuisine; tonight's dinner is a French feast.
With the cool sea breeze blowing, seated at a long table covered with clean white cloth, sipping high-quality Bordeaux wine, eating dishes exquisitely prepared by the chef, pleasant to the eye and quite tasty, surrounded by loved ones and family, Lin Jie felt that the greatest happiness in life was nothing more than this.
Lin Miao swallowed a piece of lamb chop and earnestly said, "Brother, after returning to Binhai this ti, I want to learn to drive!"
Lin Jie was a bit surprised, asking: "Miaomiao, haven't you been sowhat afraid of driving? What made you decide to learn now?"
"After returning, you and sister-in-law will stay primarily at the villa in Wutong Garden."
Lin Miao said sowhat aggrievedly, "It's a bit far from my workplace there, inconvenient to live with you all. I thought if I learned to drive, it would be easier to visit you."
An Kexin gently said: "Miaomiao, there's no need to force yourself to confront your fears directly. Hiring a dedicated driver is enough, with our ans, we could afford ten, even a hundred drivers."
"Besides, no more than another year, when the new hospital inpatient building, dical experintal center, and testing center are completed, the Anlin Charity Fund will be able to move back to the hospital."
"By then, you can live with us!"
Lin Miao pouted, saying: "A year is quite long. Also, having a dedicated driver just to take to and from work feels too wasteful."
"Learning to drive myself is the best solution. Actually, I'm not extrely frightened, just previously unwilling to face and overco it."
Seeing Lin Miao willing to confront her inner fear, Lin Jie naturally supported it.
He nodded: "After returning to Binhai, I'll first consult a psychologist for you. If they find no issue, I'll arrange for an instructor to teach you driving..."
"I can teach!"
An Keng eagerly volunteered: "Brother Jie, you know my driving skills are quite good, I can surely teach Miaomiao to drive."
Lin Jie shot her a look, snorted: "After getting back to Binhai, you'll participate in military training at Binhai University, where will you find ti to teach Miaomiao driving."
He then looked at Lin Miao, smiling: "Miaomiao, after you learn driving well and get your license, I'll gift you the best-looking, safest car."
"A supercar! A supercar!"
An Keng hurriedly chid in: "Miaomiao, just get a supercar; Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari, Lamborghini are all quite nice. Brother Jie can afford it now."
Lin Miao laughed: "ngng, you just want to drive a supercar yourself, don't you? I would be fine with just a car for getting around, doesn't need to be flashy or fast."
An Keng stubbornly tempted: "Think carefully Miaomiao, this is your first car in life, it has to be good."
"Whatever car you fancy, with Brother Jie's love for you, he'll certainly buy it without hesitation."
She turned to Lin Jie, speaking sweetly: "Brother Jie, you and sister have just married and received such a large sum of gift money, have you thought about how to spend it?"
"For instance, gifting sister a supercar and buying a sports car for yourself?"
Lin Jie chuckled: "Keng, if you can convince your sister to let drive myself, your suggestion isn't impossible!"
An Keng turned to An Kexin, discovering her gaze was sharp, quickly said: "Forget it, safety is paramount for you, Brother Jie."
"I've decided to study hard, learn dicine as soon as possible, start working and earn money to buy a car myself."
Lin Jie smiled, saying: "If you plan to first study and work, then save up to buy a supercar, it would take forever. Let offer you an opportunity!"
"Brother Jie, what opportunity?" An Keng asked eagerly, her eyes shining.
Lin Jie raised three fingers, saying: "Three years, as long as you rank first in the annual comprehensive scores of the dical orientation class for three consecutive years..."
He paused, then corrected: "First for three years is a bit too high, let's say the top two."
Lin Jie solemnly declared: "As long as your results are in the top two for three consecutive years, with at least once being first, I'll buy you one of the Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari, Lamborghini you ntioned."
An Keng stood up, excitedly asking: "Brother Jie, do you an it?"
"A gentleman's word!"
"Hard to take back!"
With a slap, two hands high-fived heavily...
After dinner, Lin Jie suddenly beca interested in night fishing.
Accompanied by An Kexin, he went to the near-sea platform at the stern, mimicking the act of baiting a small fish on a hook, cast the rod with effort, sending the hook with the fish flying out.
An Kexin softly asked in confusion: "Ajie, why did you make such a big bet with Keng?"
Lin Jie quietly explained: "Although Keng passed my test before and entered the dical orientation class, studying dicine is still mundane and lengthy."
"Keng, after all, is a young lady who needs enough tempting incentives to keep her going."
"Besides, Keng has quite a good talent for studying dicine, with extra determination, her future achievents will be remarkable."
Lin Jie hugged An Kexin, saying: "Exchanging a supercar for a future famous doctor is rather worthwhile."
An Kexin chuckled softly: "Aren't you afraid Keng would work hard for three years, then quit afterwards?"
Lin Jie shook his head, saying: "No, I'm not worried about that."
"Excellence becos a habit, especially a habit cultivated over three years..."
Just then, lights appeared in the far distance on the sea horizon as if a boat was approaching.
An Kexin pointed at the flashing lights, worriedly said: "Ajie, I heard the sea is not quite peaceful, many pirates around. Could it be pirates targeting us?"
Lin Jie observed the lights for a while, saying: "It's not pirates."
"If it were pirates, they'd have their lights off and approach quietly. Besides, we have four South Sea bodyguards onboard, not fearing any unexpected situation..."
