"Kexin, you're here!"
Lin Miao let An Kexin into the house, pursed her lips and said bitterly, "My brother is still sleeping. When he wakes up, try to talk to him!"
An Kexin, taking off her coat, said worriedly, "Uncle told that Lin Jie has been working at the University Affiliated Hospital for three consecutive days, with a reckless working approach."
"Did sothing happen?"
Lin Miao said angrily, "I noticed sothing was off with my brother and thought he had a fight with Li Ting, so I didn't think much of it. Only last night did I feel things were serious. I called Li Ting and found out they broke up!"
"Broke up?"
An Kexin was surprised and asked urgently, "Things were good a few days ago, weren't you all going on vacation to the south in a couple of days? How did they just suddenly split? They seed pretty compatible?"
Lin Miao, sowhat outraged, exclaid, "Compatible, my ass!"
"Her parents always opposed them, saying my brother's health was poor and he wouldn't live long! Now that Li Ting's health improved, she dumped him and is going to the United States for study after the New Year!"
An Kexin nodded with so understanding and said, "I'll go to Lin Jie's room to check on him first."
Entering Lin Jie's bedroom, An Kexin saw him lying on the bed, covered in a quilt, with a bottle of red wine and a wine glass on the bedside table.
An Kexin gently sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Lin Jie.
Even in his deep sleep, he seed to carry lingering pain, with his eyebrows tightly knitted. Unable to help herself, An Kexin reached out and pressed her fingers to his brow, softly massaging.
After just a couple of strokes, An Kexin noticed Lin Jie's body movent and, looking up, t a pair of eyes as cold as stars.
She withdrew her hand, smiling, "Sorry, did I wake you?"
"There's sothing urgent you need to confirm, knowing you are still at ho, I rushed over. Didn't expect you to be still asleep! Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Jie sat up, leaning against the headboard, putting his hands over his face, rubbing vigorously to wake himself up a bit more, and said, "Kexin, what's the matter, go ahead and tell !"
An Kexin took out her phone, pulled up a set of images, and said, "This is the latest revised design from Anlin Hospital, take a look. It's pretty urgent, and we can't waste any ti."
Lin Jie looked through it and noticed that the changes weren't significant from the last design, mainly that the top of the auxiliary building on the west side of the main building was changed from a do shape into a helicopter landing pad.
After viewing the images, Lin Jie handed the phone back to An Kexin and said, "I didn't find any other issues needing changes."
"Hmm..."
He understood the real reason An Kexin put special effort into visiting this ti, paused, and spoke again, "Kexin, I'm alright now, you don't need to worry!"
"Really alright?" An Kexin asked, half smiling, half teasing.
Lin Jie sighed and said, "After doing volunteer work for three nights at the University Affiliated Hospital, I've almost vented my emotions."
He self-mockingly said, "My self-regulation ability is quite strong!"
"Don't forget, I used to live a life where falling asleep might an never seeing tomorrow's sunrise again, there's nothing I can't get over."
An Kexin nodded gently, "It's for the best that you can get over it."
"You're not alone now, needless to say, there's Miaomiao, , my father, Keng, my uncle, and Boss Xu among many others, all closely connected to you."
"Whenever you have a need, we can all drop what's in hand and co to be at your side imdiately."
Lin Jie felt the deep care conveyed in An Kexin's words and said, "Thank you!"
At this mont, Lele dashed in and jumped onto the bed, burrowing into Lin Jie's arms, trying to lick his face with its tongue.
A startled Lin Jie quickly grabbed it, stopping its mischief.
Once Lin Jie had washed up and dressed, he ca to the dining room, where Lin Miao and An Kexin had already set the table.
Seeing the worried look on Lin Miao's face, Lin Jie reached out to touch the top of her head and said, "I'm sorry to make you worry. Your brother is now fully recharged and fine."
Lin Miao's hair had grown to cover her ears, black, thick, and shiny. Lin Jie couldn't help but ss it up into a bird's nest after feeling its nice texture.
Lin Miao waved her little fists in anger, threatening, "Lin Jie, don't think I won't beat you up now!"
With Lin Jie and Lin Miao's bickering, the dining room atmosphere lightened considerably. Lin Jie also withdrew his hand appropriately, smiled, and said, "I'm starving, let's have lunch!"
Midway through the al, Lin Miao said softly, "Brother, should we cancel or postpone our trip to Tianya Haijiao?"
"No need to cancel!"
Lin Jie said with a smile, "Blue skies, clear waters, and beaches, it's the perfect place for right now, why cancel it!"
An Kexin thought for a mont and said, "If you two don't mind, why not take Keng along? Both my father and I will probably be very busy this New Year and won't have ti to take her out."
"Keng is very familiar with you both. We feel assured with her being with you two."
Lin Jie nodded and said, "No problem, it's more lively with more people on a trip!"
"Keng will definitely jump for joy at the news!"
With a face full of smiles, An Kexin changed the topic and said, "Lin Jie, according to the news I recently received, major hospitals like Donghua Hospital, Tongren Hospital, and Limin Hospital have started new contract renewal negotiations for key doctors, anticipating possible poaching from Phoenix Mountain Hospital!"
"The situation at the University Affiliated Hospital is special, so there haven't been any related moves detected."
This situation was within everyone's predictions, and Lin Jie wasn't surprised in the slightest.
He asked a question he cared about, "Kexin, let in on the secret, you guys must have a few ideal candidates and have reached so private agreents with them, right?"
"Don't tell , there's not a single one."
An Kexin showed an awkward expression and said sheepishly, "There originally were!"
"But with Phoenix Mountain Hospital announcing so high-profiled, Tongren Hospital and Limin Hospital subsequently announced they were opening branches in the Phoenix Mountain District too."
"Under these circumstances, when contacting those folks again, their attitudes beca ambiguous, driving up their asking price."
Lin Jie was exasperated, thinking how he's the only confird person at such a big hospital, practically a lone leader!
He pressed, "What about your uncle?"
An Kexin said in a weak tone, "As a professor at Binhai University and expert doctor at the University Affiliated Hospital, Uncle's spare ti is very limited, at most, he can fillingly do a few surgeries at Anlin Hospital as a favor."
Wearing a face full of flattery, she said, "Lin Jie, your reputation in the Binhai dical Community is now no less than that of so renowned experts. Once you join Binhai University, you won't have to worry as much and can reveal a few skills appropriately. In daily life, mingle more with the young and middle-aged doctors at other hospitals."
"I'm sure your unparalleled dical skills can attract a big group of followers truly interested in enhancing their dical abilities!"
Although An Kexin's words greatly flattered Lin Jie, making him feel a bit over the moon, he still remained sensible and said, "I can pull strings really hard, but you can't pin all your hopes on alone."
"My age and the uncertainties of the future will make so hesitate and then back off. For Anlin Hospital to truly stand on its own, it still needs a few heavyweight figures."
After finishing this, Lin Jie thought to himself that in the coming year, he really needed to interact with more potential targets!
