On Sunday morning, Lin Jie woke up early as usual and got up to make breakfast.
After having breakfast with Lin Miao, he took Lin Miao to the subway station, then went for a jog in Binhai Park with Lele, playing with Lele in the park.
At ten, they returned ho, lounged on the sofa watching TV, spacing out, until the doorbell rang.
Seeing An Kexin at the door, Lin Jie was quite surprised, "At this ti, shouldn't you be attending your cousin's company opening ceremony?"
An Kexin entered the house, threw her coat and bag onto the living room sofa, and flopped onto the sofa herself, grumbling, "I'm hungry!"
Lin Jie looked at the ti, it was just past twelve, lunchti had arrived!
He went to the kitchen, stir-fried so bamboo shoots, made tomato scrambled eggs, sliced a plate of braised beef, and prepared two bowls of wonton noodles. In less than half an hour, a simple homade lunch was ready.
An Kexin picked up the tomato scrambled eggs from the table, took an exaggerated sniff, and said with a look of indulgence, "It slls amazing, this is the taste of ho!"
Lin Jie handed her a bowl of wonton noodles and laughed, "No matter how good my cooking is, it can't compare to a restaurant chef."
"So, what's the matter that made you skip your cousin's lavish banquet and co to for food?"
An Kexin took a sip of the noodle soup with a spoon and said, "It's nothing really, I just can't stand my cousin's snide remarks. He's not only got issues with you, but he's full of complaints towards us as well!"
"These things he doesn't dare to say to his father, so he takes it out on . I couldn't be bothered with him, so I left early."
Knowing An Kexin and Chen Fanzhi were close relatives, Lin Jie didn't want to say much, simply saying, "Let's eat, don't spoil your appetite."
An Kexin nodded lightly and said, "We've invested funds, introduced him to lots of people and so business. We've done our part. Whether he makes it or not depends on him. My father and I don't have the extra energy to spend on him anymore."
Lin Jie didn't want to talk about Chen Fanzhi anymore, so he asked, "Is the hospital construction going smoothly?"
An Kexin brightened up instantly and smiled, "Yes, very smoothly!"
"They're starting to pour the foundation now."
"Fei Xue transferred so workers from other sites over, saying they want to finish the foundation before the governnt starts road work, and to stock up on as much building material as possible."
Lin Jie asked, "Starting work, it's probably costing a fortune, right? Is the company's cash flow still smooth?"
An Kexin glanced at Lin Jie for a mont, then chuckled softly, "It's rare to hear you concerned about this! With a few more shareholders, the financial pressure is shared, and the company's accounts aren't as tight as you'd think."
"Don't forget, the Fu Family is also a shareholder. If we really run out of money, we can go to Fu Family's Four Seas Bank for a loan."
She giggled, "No other collateral needed, just have you stand in the bank lobby, and Four Seas Bank will probably approve a hundred million dollar loan imdiately."
"Please, do I really have that much influence?" Lin Jie knew she was joking!
"Of course you do, Lin Jie, never underestimate yourself!"
An Kexin said seriously, "For families like the Fu's, money is just numbers on a paper, unless those numbers are in the billions, tens of billions."
"And you, you represent the miracle healer. At critical monts, you can save lives. To befriend you and establish a good relationship, spending tens of millions, hundreds of millions, is nothing to them!"
"You might not know, but Fu Hechang's precious son can now call out 'Mommy Daddy'. Whenever Fu Hechang ntions his son, he always brings you up, praising you to the skies."
Lin Jie actually had received a thank-you call from Fu Hechang.
Over the phone, Fu Hechang had his son call him uncle, but his son clearly had a strong personality and refused to comply. Teased to a point, he just called out 'Mommy Daddy' randomly.
An Kexin said softly, "Lin Jie, in the Fu Family, your dical skills are an open secret. In fact, many well-inford people in Binhai more or less already know."
"Let's put it this way, I've clearly felt that the company is doing things more smoothly than before! All thanks to you, I'm sure."
She gave a faint, helpless smile, "It's a pity that my cousin doesn't even hide his opinions about you in front of outsiders. Sigh, I really don't know what's in his mind."
Noticing Lin Jie's lack of interest in Chen Fanzhi, An Kexin stopped ntioning him and started to focus on eating!
After the al, they tidied up the dining room and kitchen together!
It was rare for An Kexin to wear rubber gloves while washing dishes, and she casually asked, "Lin Jie, don't you have a student nad Ma Hongmin?"
"Oh, yes, an auditing student! Why, do you know her?" Lin Jie replied casually!
An Kexin said with so excitent, "Today at the company's opening ceremony, I t her father."
"Her father is nad Ma Junhui, the director of the examination departnt at the city's second hospital, quite a talented person!"
"Lin Jie, you understand. The examination departnt is a very important departnt of the hospital, responsible for various specin tests for inpatient, outpatient, ergency patients, physical exams, and research..."
Lin Jie took a washed bowl from An Kexin, wiped the residual water off with a dry towel, and said, "Get straight to the point, I understand the importance of the examination departnt!"
An Kexin gave Lin Jie a sweet smile, "Hehe, Director Ma told his daughter studies till late every night, wakes up before dawn, and he's never seen her work so hard."
"As a father, he sotis helps her study, which gives him a profound appreciation for your vast knowledge..."
Lin Jie rolled his eyes and took another plate, saying, "Just get to the point, what exactly do you want to say!"
An Kexin said, with a slightly endearing nasal tone, "Director Ma said he's willing to transfer to work at Anlin Hospital, provided that you train his daughter attentively."
"Lin Jie, you've already taught so many people, one more won't hurt."
"So far, our Anlin Hospital hasn't even confird a single core doctor yet. If you agree, this Director Ma will be the first one."
An Kexin tenderly pleaded, "Lin Jie, please agree to it, consider it as begging you!"
Her tone ignited sothing in Lin Jie.
He placed the dishes into the cabinet, walked behind An Kexin, and embraced her, letting one hand wander up and the other down...
He kissed her earlobe and said, "That will depend on your performance!"
An Kexin's body softened, leaning into Lin Jie's embrace like a boneless fish, and she said with sowhat rapid breathing, "But Uncle said you need to conserve your energy and adjust your state for the surgery the day after tomorrow!"
"And what better way to adjust than a primal, exhilarating workout..."
An Kexin stopped talking and instead turned her face, removed her rubber gloves, clasped Lin Jie's neck from behind, and kissed him!
The kiss raised the temperature in the kitchen dramatically, scorching like midsumr...
