"Dance?"
Facing An Keng's invitation, Lin Jie felt a bit uneasy. He initially thought she was joking, but it turned out to be real. However, he didn't know how to dance.
He quickly asked in his mind, "Sister Lanruo, you must know how to dance, right? So, do you think I've received any of your mories on dancing?"
A soft laugh from Shen Lanruo echoed in his mind, "I don't know about that, but you'll find out if you try. It's not gentlemanly to keep a lady waiting."
Under An Keng's cheerful invitation, Lin Jie, without a definite answer, scratched his head in embarrassnt and softly said, "An Keng, I've never danced with a girl before, and I don't really know how."
"Hehe, dancing is easy, I can teach you."
An Keng boldly took Lin Jie's hand, and under the watchful eyes of several young n, they walked to the center of the hall.
With the lodious music playing, Lin Jie placed his left hand on An Keng's waist and, following the rhythm of the music, naturally took the first step, then the second...
Steps, spins, changes in tempo, and all the mories associated with this dance floated up in Lin Jie's mind and were reflected in his movents.
Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief, feeling secretly grateful that he had regained the mory, managing not to embarrass himself.
Just as he was about to withdraw his focus, he suddenly noticed An Keng's tight little face, devoid of any happiness.
He imdiately understood the reason and quickly explained, "An Keng, I'm not lying to you, you really are the first girl I've danced with."
He further made up, "To prepare for the dance, I practiced at ho for two days, always holding a teddy bear. I was always worried about stepping on your foot, but never expected that dancing with you would be so coordinated, and I wasn't nervous at all."
"Really?"
Though An Keng's tone was a bit cold, her expression started to brighten up.
Lin Jie quickly nodded, saying, "Of course it's true, why would I lie to you."
"Humph, my sister says n can't be trusted."
Though she said that, a smile appeared on An Keng's face.
By this ti, the entire hall had turned into a lively dance floor, with pairs of young boys and girls or young n and won dancing gracefully.
Lin Jie also saw An Kexin dancing with Ren Jianzhong on the dance floor.
Seeing Ren Jianzhong looking lecherously at An Kexin, Lin Jie felt uncomfortable and thought to himself that he couldn't let a beautiful flower be stuck on a hypocritical pile of manure.
Lin Jie softly asked, "Do you know that Ren Jianzhong dancing with your sister now?"
An Keng looked over and then turned back, saying, "I don't know him, never t before. Maybe t in the business field. Since my sister took over part of the business, so guys have been trying to impress her."
Only then did Lin Jie realize he didn't know what business the An Family was in.
After asking a couple of questions, he found out that the An Family mainly produced and sold so dical equipnt like syringes, IV tubes, urine bags, etc. They also had a dical equipnt distribution company, selling well-known international brand equipnt such as various surgical microscopes and MRI machines.
Knowing this about the An Family's business, Lin Jie grew a bit more concerned.
Doing business dostically, connections are crucial. If that Professor Ren Maoshi is indeed as impressive as Ren Jianzhong says, perhaps An Kexin might agree to Ren Jianzhong's pursuit for the sake of the company's interests.
"Brother Jie, do you know that person?" An Keng asked curiously.
Lin Jie nodded and said, "I've dealt with him a few tis, he's an arrogant, unprincipled guy who flatters the high and tramples the low. He's not soone worth keeping in touch with."
Taking advantage of An Keng's inquiry, Lin Jie took the opportunity to harshly degrade Ren Jianzhong.
An Keng laughed with a snort and asked, "Did this guy offend you or sothing?"
"Kind of," Lin Jie replied.
In truth, Lin Jie's entanglent with Ren Jianzhong had happened twice.
Once was at Limin Hospital, where Ren Jianzhong mocked him in public, and the other ti was a failed negotiation, where Ren Jianzhong made so disparaging remarks about him.
Overall, it wasn't such a huge animosity.
But sotis life's odd like that.
Fights that seem like nothing end up forming deep friendships, while a re short exchange can turn into lifelong enmity.
Lin Jie felt like he and Ren Jianzhong were simply incompatible, destined not to get along.
An Keng stifled her laughter, and with a stern little face, said, "If he's offended Brother Jie, he's offended , I will tell my sister not to bother with him anymore."
As one dance ended, three young n rushed over, pushing Lin Jie aside to invite An Keng to the next dance.
Seeing this, Lin Jie politely declined An Keng's invitation for the next dance and took a drink from the passing waiter before turning to leave.
"Lin Jie."
Hearing that annoying voice again, Lin Jie had to stop and look at the approaching Ren Jianzhong dismayedly.
"We really do have a lot of fate, always eting unexpectedly."
Looking at the sarcastically smiling Ren Jianzhong, Lin Jie helplessly said, "You have to believe , just like you, I don't appreciate this kind of fate at all."
Ren Jianzhong got a bit closer to Lin Jie and whispered, "Here's a piece of news for you. That opinion of yours at Limin Hospital about letting tumors grow a bit longer has been published in a prominent dical journal, the 'Chinese Journal of Surgery,' as a correspondence in a dical discussion."
"The article is credited to Limin Hospital's Neurosurgery Departnt, with not a ntion of you."
He said sowhat gloatingly, "Now that you know, do you regret it?"
Lin Jie appeared indifferent, saying, "As long as it's not published under my na, I've got no problem. As the saying goes, 'money can't buy my contentnt.'"
"Besides, thanks to you last night, I made quite a bit. That asly five thousand, fifteen thousand, I couldn't care less about."
Ren Jianzhong was so angry he ground his teeth, glared at Lin Jie, and threatened, "Lin Jie, just you wait, you'd better hope I never get anything on you, and you hope you never need anything from ."
With that, Ren Jianzhong stord off angrily.
This scene was caught by An Weize and his brother-in-law Professor Chen Shi, who were conversing in a corner of the hall.
Professor Chen Shi regrettably said, "If not for his health issues, with Lin Jie's abilities, he would undoubtedly grow to be a national treasure-level expert, sigh..."
Seeing the angry departure of Ren Jianzhong, Professor Chen Shi furrowed his brow and muttered, "So there's a conflict between Ren Jianzhong and Lin Jie?"
He pondered for a mont and then told An Weize, "This Ren Jianzhong, from what I observed last night, is sowhat arrogant and conceited, showing too much of his sharpness."
"You should remind Kexin, if she is truly interested in him, she should observe and evaluate carefully."
