Facing Xia Yu's challenge, and the students in the classroom waiting for a response, Lin Jie snorted lightly, pretending to be indifferent as he replied, "Yesterday, I accepted the invitation from the University Affiliated Hospital and agreed to serve as a specially appointed surgical physician!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the classroom froze for a mont before instantly boiling over!
Those sitting here listening to the lecture were mainly PhD and master's students from the dical College, so young teachers, and over a dozen young doctors already interning or working in various hospitals.
They were well acquainted with the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital and yearned to join it. They all understood the aning behind Lin Jie's words.
They knew that when he said specially appointed physician, Lin Jie was being modest; in fact, he was an external expert hired by the hospital.
Binhai University Affiliated Hospital, as a nationally renowned top comprehensive teaching hospital, has long been ranked among the top ten special-grade hospitals in the country.
Each formally appointed doctor could be said to be a lucky one, standing out from dozens of talented competitors.
And externally hired dical experts were even more outstanding, more exceptional than most of the regular doctors, and must be among the national leaders in a certain field of dicine.
It can be said that the talent and capability of these external experts are absolutely top-notch in the country.
Lin Jie, at the tender age of less than twenty, still a master's student, was appointed as a specially hired expert at the hospital. This is truly unprecedented, and one could even assert, without a subsequent equal.
A sowhat mature-looking classmate stood up, clapped his hands, and exclaid, "Teacher Lin, I respect no one but you!"
"Yes, yes! Teacher Lin, you're truly exceptional!"
Many people echoed, and more and more people stood up, starting to applaud fervently.
Lin Jie happily raised his hand to signal for silence!
After everyone in the classroom curbed their excitent and restored calm, Lin Jie glanced sideways at Xia Yu and said, "You, and everyone else, will see perform surgery."
"But not now."
"Now, let's start the class!"
Xia Yu wanted to speak, but was lightly pulled back by Gao Yanhong beside her, so she held back and sat down with her comrades to listen to Lin Jie start the lecture.
The class continued as usual until five-thirty in the evening, when it finally ended!
Afterward, Lin Jie left the classroom and headed to Chen Shi's office, intending to rest a bit, eat sothing, and then have individual conversations with the students as usual.
However, surprisingly to Lin Jie, the office, which should have been empty, had three additional people.
One of them was Chen Shi, another was Dean Cheng Xingguang from the Affiliated Hospital, and there's a middle-aged military man of imposing presence!
With a cheerful smile, Cheng Xingguang spoke first, "Dr. Lin, on behalf of the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital, I warmly welco you to accept the appointnt and beco the hospital's specially invited expert."
"Here's your appointnt letter!"
Lin Jie took the appointnt certificate from him and said very politely, "Thank you for the hospital's recognition, it's my honor as well."
Cheng Xingguang laughed and said, "I know a bit about your talent. Now you don't need to hide it anymore; I look forward to your performance at the Affiliated Hospital!"
"Dr. Lin, continue to amaze us, bring us more surprises!"
At this, he pointed to the middle-aged military man beside him and introduced, "Dr. Lin, this is Dr. Xia Kaige from the First Military dical University Affiliated Hospital, renowned as the best surgeon nationwide."
Chen Shi added, "Lin Jie, let give you so information!"
"The First Military dical University Affiliated Hospital, situated in Capital City, is a key elite hospital for the military. Its comprehensive strength in the country is also ranked in the top ten annually, on par with the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital."
"Among them, the cardiac surgery led by Dr. Xia is consistently ranked in the top three nationally!"
During the introduction, Xia Kaige, who maintained a gentle smile all along, laughed and said, "This title of the best surgeon is actually an over-praise."
"In front of Professor Chen, and the stunningly talented Dr. Lin, ntioning this best surgeon again would be like slapping my own face!"
He waved his hand and continued, "As for the team's strength, it's the result of the collective efforts of everyone in the departnt, not solely my credit."
Speaking very humbly and pleasantly, Lin Jie noticed that the corner of Chen Shi's mouth twitched imperceptibly, clearly showing so disdain for Xia Kaige's words.
Reaching out his right hand, Xia Kaige said, "Dr. Lin, hello! I made a special trip to et you!"
"Hello, nice to et you!"
Lin Jie politely shook his hand!
This person also has the surna Xia. At the sa ti, he noticed a few hereditary features on Xia Yu's face that were similar to this Xia Kaige, so he asked, "Xia Yu is your..."
Xia Kaige solemnly said, "Xia Yu is my daughter!"
"I ask for your forgiveness for her abruptness. Actually, it was I who prompted her to do so."
Lin Jie raised an eyebrow, remained silent, and just looked at Xia Kaige as he continued his explanation.
Xia Kaige was not at all embarrassed, saying, "According to the training plan, after finishing this round of internship, Xia Yu was supposed to return to for targeted training."
"However, she suddenly received an order to co to the Binhai University dical School for further study."
Xia Kaige candidly said, "I am a soldier, but also a father, so out of concern, I inquired about this transfer."
"The superiors replied that this ti, four young doctors with the best comprehensive evaluations at the hospital were selected and sent for further study. It would absolutely benefit their dical skills greatly and elevate them to a higher level."
He confidently said, "Speaking of dical skills, and training young doctors, in this aspect, I still have so confidence and bottom line."
Xia Kaige intently looked at Lin Jie and continued, "I conducted so investigations on you, Dr. Lin, and frankly, while you've won so people's praises, I've also heard so unfavorable comnts."
"Additionally, to date, I've only heard so indeterminate rumors about your dical skills, but no concrete, public facts to support these rumors."
"Furthermore, considering your age..."
Xia Kaige chuckled and said, "That's why I instructed Xia Yu to question you, hoping to provoke you into action..."
Lin Jie responded with a long "oh" and said, "Once I accept, Dr. Xia, you can observe the surgery to gauge my real strength and determine whether I am qualified to teach your daughter."
Xia Kaige nodded slightly, openly admitting, "Indeed, that's my intention!"
"According to Xia Yu's life plan, she is destined to grow into a world-class physician. Ti is extrely valuable for her, and every step in her growth and every stage of learning must not have any mistakes."
"As for theoretical learning..."
Xia Kaige nodded slightly in approval, saying, "Your course content is indeed impressive, connecting vast amounts of knowledge points with different human organs as clues."
"But this cramming style of teaching..."
He slowly shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't really approve of it."
Damn, do I need your approval? Lin Jie thought to himself derisively.
The reason Lin Jie uses this thod is to organize and integrate the dical knowledge in his mind, and secondly, through this high-intensity knowledge infusion, to sift out a batch of diligent, ambitious, and self-disciplined outstanding students.
He also understood in his heart that this thod of teaching will not cultivate a world-class physician.
Strictly speaking, doctors of that level cannot be cultivated by anyone; they grow on their own.
To put it bluntly, becoming a well-known doctor in the industry can be achieved through consistent diligence, ambition, and self-discipline. But to beco a top expert, or even a world-famous physician, would depend on personal talent.
Xia Kaige continued, "Dr. Lin, congratulations on being appointed as a distinguished expert at the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital."
"This reassures a lot. As a reputable old hospital, they certainly wouldn't lower their hiring standards to do sothing self-destructive."
"Dr. Lin, which area are you most skilled in? Neurosurgery, general surgery, or sothing else?"
"Can you..."
Lin Jie inwardly sneered, thinking that no matter what was said, this Xia Kaige still wanted to weigh him, fearing that he would delay his precious daughter's promising future.
He gave a composed and indifferent smile and said, "Dr. Xia, I understand your thoughts, and I can fulfill your wishes."
Xia Kaige responded with a long "oh" and said, "Great, then I will open my eyes and learn well."
He turned to Cheng Xingguang and said, "Surely your hospital doesn't lack patients with complicated cases requiring major surgeries for Dr. Lin to choose from, right?"
Before Cheng Xingguang could respond, Lin Jie spoke again, "Dr. Xia, you misunderstood my aning."
"I didn't an entering the operating room to perform surgery. What I an is you can take your daughter Xia Yu and leave!"
"Before, I had a gentleman's agreent with the military that I could unconditionally return a certain trainee. Besides, Xia Yu's training direction is to beco a world-class physician, and I am too shallow to lead such an endeavor improperly."
At this point, Xia Kaige's face darkened.
Xia Yu is a military doctor, who values dical skills in saving lives, but first and foremost, she is a soldier.
The level at which this transfer order was issued is relatively high. If Lin Jie directly returned Xia Yu, one can imagine what kind of impact it would have on Xia Yu's military career.
In fact, Xia Kaige's heart faintly anticipated this happening; otherwise, he wouldn't have instructed Xia Yu to risk offending Lin Jie by publicly questioning him in class.
He was very confident that with his current status and influence, he could mitigate the adverse effects of this matter on Xia Yu.
But Lin Jie's tone was as if he was dismissive of a student like Xia Yu.
Xia Kaige started feeling indignant, thinking his daughter is the best in the world, yet Lin Jie dismisses her as if she's nothing...
Chen Shi found it amusing, knowing Lin Jie was annoyed by the repeated questioning and demand for validation from the Xia father and daughter.
Those capable tend to have tempers!
This Xia Kaige indeed is formidable, appearing humble on the surface but actually looking down on others; however, when eting soone like Lin Jie, who is confident and proud, he finds himself a bit outmatched.
He had no intention of diating, as in this matter Lin Jie was clearly on the upper hand, and he had never been fond of the high-and-mighty Xia Kaige.
Cheng Xingguang chuckled, trying to smooth things over, "Dr. Xia's love for his daughter is understandable. Dr. Lin, you might not be aware that returning soone without reason can significantly impact a soldier..."
"Dean Cheng, I accept Dr. Lin's arrangent for Xia Yu!"
Xia Kaige interrupted Cheng Xingguang and stared at Lin Jie sternly, saying, "I can see and hear that you are very confident and self-assured."
"Then you shouldn't refuse my challenge, right?"
"Challenge? Fine, I'll indulge you!"
Lin Jie snorted disdainfully and said, "You just asked what specialty I'm good at? I can tell you, except for psychiatry, I'm adept at the others."
"But since you specialize in cardiac surgery, we'll choose your strongest area, cardiac surgery!"
"As for the difficulty of the surgery, any level is fine; I'll take it on!"
I've seen arrogance before, but never this kind!
Xia Kaige was nearly infuriated by Lin Jie, suppressing his anger, and coldly said, "All fields, are you kidding? Rumor has it you've done neurosurgery and general surgery, but those are just rumors..."
"Your only publicly demonstrated surgery was a heart transplant on a sheep!"
"This shows that you can perform cardiac surgery, perhaps it's your strongest area, maybe."
"In that case, to live up to the reputation of your extraordinary dical genius, don't bla for going easy."
Xia Kaige declared word by word, "We shall perform a thoracoabdominal aortic replacent surgery!"
