Just after finishing his workout at the gym the next day, Lin Jie, drenched in sweat, returned to the changing room. He heard his phone ringing nonstop in the locker, quickly opened it, and saw it was a call from Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"Ah Jie, I've found a store space, and the rent is very favorable!"
As soon as the call connected, Zhang Xiaoxiao's excited voice ca through, "It's in Zhenhua Mall. They recognized from the Evening News report and contacted proactively, using the information previously left! The mall's president said good people deserve good things!"
"Haha... Ah Jie, let's have a good celebration tonight!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jie was very happy too.
At that ti, he dashed up without any thoughts, considering himself just a doctor doing his duty, not expecting any reward.
Still, it was delightful to have unexpected rewards. This news was much better than hearing he was being sued in court!
After resting for a while, sweating out, and taking a shower, Lin Jie changed into a dry set of clothes, packed the sweat-soaked clothes into his backpack, and left the changing room!
"Lin Jie! Lin Jie..."
As he walked through the equipnt area, Lin Jie vaguely heard soone calling his na. He turned his head and saw Zhou Ke hiding behind a treadmill, sneakily waving at him.
Lin Jie walked over a few steps, smiling, "Coach Zhou Ke, do you need sothing from ?"
Zhou Ke leaned closer to Lin Jie, lowered her voice, and asked, "Do you know how to do chiropractic, treat dislocations?"
"I know a bit, but I'm not very professional!"
Lin Jie responded modestly, then puzzledly asked, "Isn't there an on-site doctor at the gym? Treating dislocations should be his specialty!"
Zhou Ke uttered an "ah" sound, grabbed Lin Jie's hand anxiously, "If I seek treatnt from him, it would deduct my salary; hurry and help out as a favor!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie understood that during her guidance with a mber's workout, a mistake must have occurred, resulting in an accident and injury.
Find it a bit amusing, Lin Jie followed behind Zhou Ke, winding through several turns to a coach's lounge, where he saw a pale young man drenched in cold sweat.
Zhou Ke pouted at the man, complaining, "It's him, overreached, trying to show off his strength but hurt his arm. It's infuriating!"
Upon seeing this guy, although he kept his mouth shut, enduring the pain, he occasionally stole glances at Zhou Ke, Lin Jie knew this was Zhou Ke's admirer.
Doesn't he know Zhou Ke already has a boyfriend?
Lin Jie didn't utter a word, touched up the man's right elbow joint, realizing it was dislocated.
Lin Jie rested his left hand on the upper arm of the person's right hand, gripped his wrist with his right hand, lightly pulled, twisted, and then sharply pushed, producing a light cracking sound, returning his arm bone to its original position.
Seeing this person's arm was dexterously movable, Zhou Ke satisfiedly patted Lin Jie's shoulder, praising, "Good, good! Not only can you read CT images, but your hands have real prowess, quite extraordinary!"
Lin Jie stepped back, escaping Zhou Ke's grasp, asking, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going!"
Zhou Ke stepped forward, grabbing Lin Jie's sleeve, "Don't go, I'll treat you to lunch!"
She turned to the young man, speaking curtly, "Why are you still dawdling, if you're healed then hurry up and go!"
The pale young man murmured an "oh" and left reluctantly.
The mont the door closed, Zhou Ke sowhat proudly, sowhat showing off, remarked, "Every ti at work, so clueless guys co over to show off, it's truly annoying."
She released Lin Jie's sleeve, sowhat relieved, "In situations like this, according to gym regulations, it counts as an accident, and I'd have five hundred bucks deducted!"
"You saved five hundred, treating you to lunch is a proper gesture of thanks!"
"I'll take a shower and change clothes, you just need to wait a few minutes, okay?"
Under Zhou Ke's sweet persuasion, Lin Jie had no choice but to agree.
Expecting these "few minutes" might turn into dozens, Lin Jie, prepared for a long wait, was unexpectedly t by Zhou Ke in just over ten minutes, wearing a fitted, cropped t-shirt and hot pants.
Walking beside Zhou Ke, who was cool and drew quite the attention, Lin Jie felt a bit uncomfortable, like having lice all over him, even struggling to walk.
Led by Zhou Ke, they entered a western restaurant!
In the center of the restaurant, a gleaming black grand piano was placed to reflect people.
A foreigner was playing "Für Elise," and the lodious sound flowed into Lin Jie's heart, offering a refreshing and delightful enjoynt.
Lin Jie glanced at the elegantly styled restaurant, quietly said, "Zhou Ke, dining here, your five hundred probably won't cover it, let's opt for a simpler, casual lunch instead!"
Zhou Ke simply waved her hand, saying, "Treating soone to a al must show sincerity; the lamb chops here are quite good!"
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two sat by the floor-to-ceiling window. Through the glass, one could overlook Henglong Plaza's panorama.
Following Zhou Ke's suggestion, Lin Jie ordered the grilled lamb rib set!
Just after he finished ordering, he saw Zhou Ke standing up delightedly, turning to see a tall, fair-skinned woman in a black, fitted dress approaching gracefully!
This woman, around her thirties, with wavy black hair and light makeup, holding an exquisite handbag, walked over, exuding an elegant intellectual aura for Lin Jie.
Zhou Ke amiably said, "Xinyi sister, what a coincidence, you're here for a al too, eting a friend, or?"
The woman called Xinyi smiled and responded, "It's my day off, wanted so ice cream here, so I ca."
She glanced at Lin Jie, studied him closely, and asked with a smile, "Is this your friend, Keke?"
"Let introduce you!"
Zhou Ke pointed at Lin Jie, saying, "This is Lin Jie, a friend of mine and Ah Xuan, very capable, simply drew a line and earned fifty thousand from my uncle!"
She then introduced Lin Jie, "This is Hu Xinyi, my boyfriend's sister, a big doctor at Kangning Hospital!"
"Oh, so it's you!"
Hu Xinyi's eyes sparkled, warmly extending her hand, "My uncle who thinks highly of himself praises you as a genius, unmatched above or below!"
"Didn't expect you to be even younger than I imagined!"
Lin Jie stood up swiftly, lightly shook Hu Xinyi's glossy cool hand, courteously saying, "Surely a flattering remark from your uncle, I only know a tiny bit, just happened to guess correctly!"
"Oh, not really!"
Hu Xinyi's eyes flickered, implying, "Recently, my uncle completed three craniotomies remarkably!"
"The surgical plan at first glance seems like my uncle's usual style, but upon close analysis, a few key points of design are surprisingly brilliant."
"My uncle, though occasionally inspired, cannot always think of such exquisite and bold solutions!"
"Hence, this must all be... Lin Jie, your lucky guess?"
Indeed, Lin Jie had pointed out three surgical plans for Hu Yuanqing over the past two weeks, unsure of Hu Xinyi's intentions, he rely smiled without clear response!
"Hu Xinyi!"
At that mont, a clear voice called out.
Following the voice, Lin Jie saw a slim, cold-faced girl approaching.
Simultaneously, he clearly noticed Hu Xinyi's expression stiffened, body subtly tense, as if facing a formidable foe.
