After eating hot pot, the Lin siblings and An Kexin lazily sat or lay on the sofa eating fruit and chatting idly.
Lin Miao happily said, "Kexin, in ten days, we're going to the ends of the earth for a vacation and sunbathing. Are you coming this year? Winters in Binhai can be quite hard!"
Lin Jie laughed and teased, "No matter how hard, we've spent twenty winters in Binhai. I never heard you complain about the winter before. Why are you acting so delicate and pretentious now?"
Lin Miao snorted, "We didn't have the ans before. In winter, to save money, we didn't even turn on the heater and just toughed it out physically. Now that we can afford it, of course, we want to live a bit more comfortably."
She adjusted her position, leaning on Lin Jie, and comfortably said, "The central air conditioning in the apartnt is much better than the small heaters, quieter too, and warr!"
"Kexin, you haven't told us about your vacation plans yet?"
An Kexin put the small fruit plate with strawberries and cherry tomatoes back on the coffee table and lazily said, "I don't have ti for a vacation this year, the company and the hospital have a ton of work waiting for !"
"I don't even have ti to sleep in anymore, every morning I have to rely on two alarms to wake up."
Lin Jie knew that building a hospital from scratch isn't an easy task, but thankfully, he didn't have to worry about such matters.
Following the principle of "Let my friend die, but not ," he responded perfunctorily, "Kexin, you're a capable person and should do more!"
"This is also a rare opportunity for growth. Building a hospital from scratch through your own efforts is quite an accomplishnt!"
An Kexin gave Lin Jie a sidelong glance and said, "I've beco immune to such flattery and manipulative words, Lin Jie, one needs to be sincere."
She didn't continue the topic and asked back, "So it's just you two going?"
Lin Miao replied, "Tingting is going too! We've agreed to sunbathe, swim, and dive together."
An Kexin knowingly said, "That resort is quite large, with nice environnt and beaches. You won't get bored staying there for a month or two."
"However, you should avoid eating seafood outside the resort to avoid being ripped off."
Lin Miao nodded vigorously and said, "We already know that and will be careful."
The conversation eventually turned to the Hu Family.
An Kexin said with so schadenfreude, "Recently, the number of patients going to Kangning Hospital has noticeably decreased, down by about thirty percent. Hu Yitong really shot himself in the foot this ti, and quite severely."
"Moreover, recently, Hu Yuanqing, Hu Yitong, and Hu Xinyi have consecutively encountered issues. Kangning Hospital needs to spend a lot on publicity and image projects to restore its reputation and regain people's trust."
Lin Jie snorted coldly, "It would be best if Kangning Hospital never recovers. I've sworn to that old codger that he'll see the hospital close or be transferred in his lifeti."
An Kexin smirked and said, "There's no need to rush!"
"That old guy might be a bit older, but judging by his physique, he could probably live another seven or eight years, so you still have plenty of ti!"
Developing Anlin Hospital successfully would take at least three to five years of accumulation, Lin Jie knew that things can't be rushed.
He asked, "Kexin, have you heard how the Hu Family handled the matter between Hu Xinyi and Hu Yuanqing?"
An Kexin popped a strawberry into her mouth, chewing quietly, "I only know that the Hu Family had a eting, then Hu Yuanqing beca the new director of Kangning Hospital. There must have been so interest exchange, but we can't know the details."
"Hu Xinyi is still hiding abroad, probably planning to sneak back during the Lunar New Year. In cardiac surgery, Hu Xinyi is quite competent."
She suddenly sneered and said, "I've heard that Hu Yitong personally went to invite and attempt to poach a few doctors to bolster Kangning Hospital's strength. Rumor has it, they were close to sealing the deal."
"However, the stunt Hu Yitong pulled ended up derailing those recruitnt efforts completely."
At that mont, Lin Jie's phone rang; it was a call from Ling ngjiao.
Aside from receiving holiday greeting texts, it was the first ti Lin Jie received a call from her!
He didn't shy away from taking the call in front of An Kexin, and answered, "Hello, Ling ngjiao!"
Imdiately, Ling ngjiao's sowhat urgent voice ca over the line, "Lin Jie, there's a video targeting you that's just appeared online and is spreading fast. I think you should take a look."
"A video targeting ? What kind of video?" Lin Jie asked curiously.
"It's a video fild by a poverty-stricken family,"
Ling ngjiao explained slowly, "The family has six daughters, but they're still desperate for a son. The mother is pregnant again, with a big belly."
"The family relies solely on the father working to support them. You can imagine the situation."
"Their fourth daughter was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. In the video, they ntion you were also a heart disease patient, now cured and hailed as a dical genius, living in a multi-million-dollar mansion, and driving a luxury car."
"They're pleading for your help, asking you to pay for their fourth daughter's treatnt. They also say the family is poor, the children can't afford education, they eat poorly, and have no winter clothes when it gets cold..."
Ling ngjiao said angrily, "Any rational person would see they're begging you specifically, which is unreasonable. But online, lots of people love to stir the pot and are pushing this hard."
"I reckon this video will beco a hot topic online in a day or two!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie knew it was a troubleso issue, "Thank you, Ling ngjiao, I'll watch the video imdiately and co up with a plan."
Ling ngjiao advised, "Once such things start, if not handled well, the first case could lead to a second, or even more. However, I have no better advice; just be careful!"
After hanging up, Lin Jie imdiately opened his laptop, found the video, and watched it with An Kexin and Lin Miao.
In the video, a pregnant woman and six dirty, poorly dressed little girls, aged around two to ten, crowded the cara, crying and shouting, "Great benefactor Lin, save us, we can't go on."
The oldest girl, speaking in imperfect Mandarin with a sobbing tone, recounted the family's dire circumstances, finally crying, "Great benefactor Lin, save my sister, she shares your plight."
"Now you live in a mansion, drive a luxury car, you can help us, please help us..."
Below the video, there were already hundreds of comnts with varied content, but it was clear soone was leading the narrative.
Many people pointed out that Lin Jie had received a lot of help from others since he was young, and now that he's capable, he should return the favor, give back to society, and help others, instead of living in a mansion, driving a luxury car, and enjoying it alone!
An Kexin, with a somber expression, said, "Moral blackmail! Lin Jie, this is moral blackmail!!"
