"Brother, brother, it's past eight, ti to get up!"
Sleepy Lin Jie opened his eyes reluctantly, glanced at Lin Miao, turned over, and lay on the bed, grumbling, "Stop making noise, I want to sleep a bit more."
Lin Miao's voice pierced into his ear again, "Brother, Xiaoxiao and I are going to Limin Hospital in a bit to visit Dagang's son. Do you want to co?"
"If you go, it's as if I went too." Lin Jie mumbled.
Lin Miao acknowledged with an "Oh" and continued, "Keng and I also planned for today to shop for outdoor travel gear. Brother, do you want to join?"
Lin Jie declined, "No need, just grab a set for ."
Lin Miao asked again, "Bro, do you think we should buy a large camping tent or just a small one-person or two-person tent?"
"Tent?"
Lin Jie turned around and looked at Lin Miao, puzzled, "What do you need a tent for?"
Lin Miao pouted, dissatisfied, "Brother, you definitely haven't read the introduction of the Bamboo Sea tourist spots."
"There is a great hiking project there, trekking up along a stream to see the upstream waterfall and the beautiful distant snow-capped mountains."
"We camp outdoors overnight and raft back to the National Village base the next day."
"Just for one night's camping, buy a separate tent?" Lin Jie thought about it and said, "The tourist spot must have rental tents or cabins, no need to buy."
"Oh no, rental tents must be dirty, better to use our own."
"Brother..."
Lin Miao knelt on the bed, shaking Lin Jie's body, and teased, "Let's just buy one, we're sure to use it in the future. I know Binhai has parks with dedicated camping sites."
Lin Jie rolled his eyes, helplessly saying, "Alright, alright, if you want to buy, go ahead! Buy a small tent, big tents are bulky and inconvenient to carry."
"Got it!"
Lin Miao climbed off the bed, urging, "Bro, ti to get up for breakfast. Xiaoxiao and I are heading out soon."
Lin Jie replied perfunctorily and turned over to continue sleeping.
After two consecutive days of hard work, Lin Jie just wanted to enjoy a good sleep...
But his wish was shattered at ten o'clock.
An Weize and General ng Yang from the Departnt of Veteran Affairs arrived together. Moreover, General ng Yang ca carrying a cardboard box.
Still in his pajamas, Lin Jie made a cup of tea for them, just as General ng Yang said, "Expert Lin, my visit to Binhai this ti is both official and personal."
"On the official side, I'm here mainly to inspect the preparation of the disabled soldier treatnt center at Anlin Hospital."
ng Yang said solemnly, "I've learned that Anlin Hospital is strictly following the scheduled plans on construction and will be ready for operation on ti."
"Right now, the preparations for the treatnt center boil down to two aspects: dical equipnt and staff."
"According to Chairman An, the dical equipnt has largely been purchased, only staffing still poses a considerable issue..."
Lin Jie assured, "There's nearly a year until Anlin Hospital's operational date. We'll surely recruit the necessary staff by then."
"You don't need to worry about that, General ng."
ng Yang chuckled, "Of course, I believe in that."
"However, my main reason for this visit is to discuss with you, Expert Lin, about the staffing issue for not only the treatnt center but Anlin Hospital in general."
"What exactly do you an?" Lin Jie inquired.
ng Yang explained seriously, "The First Military dical University wishes to establish a closer partnership with Anlin Hospital, making it the designated internship hospital for their students."
This is great news!
Binhai University dical School also has Anlin Hospital as a designated internship hospital, but they only assign about twenty interns a year.
It's said that this quota was fought for, considering Lin Jie and Chen Shi's influence, taking it from other hospitals.
A re twenty interns are definitely not enough for a budding comprehensive hospital.
Holding back his excitent, Lin Jie glanced at the calm-faced An Weize and said, "General ng, students from the First Military dical University typically don't lack internship hospitals. Why are they suddenly fascinated by Anlin Hospital?"
"Because Anlin Hospital is where you are!"
ng Yang stated frankly, "That previous exchange of dical expertise between you, Expert Lin, and Doctor Xia Kaige genuinely impressed the First Military dical University."
"We've also been keeping an eye on the progress of Gao Yanhong, Huo Guangheng, Guo Peng, and He Yimin."
"Recently, the First Military dical conducted a remote assessnt for the four of them. The results were astonishing to the assessnt group, seeing their progress as...remarkably swift."
"Not to hide anything, Doctor Xia Kaige, who took part in the assessnt, regretted making Xia Yu withdraw at the end."
ng Yang continued sincerely, "Your level, Expert Lin, determines the potential height Anlin Hospital can reach."
"Therefore, the First Military dical University feels it necessary to establish a more intimate cooperation with you and Anlin Hospital."
Lin Jie courteously said, "Thank you for the recognition!"
"I'm also delighted that Anlin Hospital can beco an internship site for top students of the First Military dical University. You can discuss the specifics of the internship with An Kexin."
ng Yang nodded, "I'm here to initiate the dialogue; the First Military dical will handle specific matters."
He took a sip of tea and continued, "That's the official business."
"Personally, I've co to Binhai Ard Police Hospital to visit my old comrade—whom you, Expert Lin, saved, Zhong Lihui, who lost half of his face."
"He was severely injured during a live combat exercise due to an accident."
ng Yang elaborated further, "At the ti, it was urgent, and the renowned trauma expert from the Ard Police Hospital was attending a scholarly conference in the Capital City."
"So, they contacted you, Expert Lin, imdiately."
Lin Jie murmured lightly, not minding that he was a fallback choice since the individual's identity was sensitive and caution was needed.
"How is General Zhong recovering?"
ng Yang laughed, "He's recovering very smoothly."
"Experts at the Ard Police Hospital even said the recovery is unbelievable. It's said that after complete recovery, one might not notice any previous injury without close inspection."
He joked, "I originally thought, with such severe facial injuries, even if he didn't turn out hideous, he'd be uglier than ."
"I was disappointed after seeing him yesterday."
"The doctors told he'll end up looking a tad better than after recovery."
With a smile of regret, ng Yang pointed to the cardboard box at his feet, "This is what he sent over for to pass to you, Expert Lin, as a token of gratitude, a few bottles of military-designated Moutai."
"These bottles have been stored for over thirty years, gathered from his father's ho. Please accept them, Expert Lin."
Moutai, aged over thirty years, sounds like a treasure indeed.
Though Lin Jie can't handle such strong spirits, he accepted them without hesitation.
ng Yang, with tasks at hand, left after the successful discussion of both official and personal matters.
An Weize also stood up, tapped the box of Moutai with his cane, and said, "Carry this down to my car."
Lin Jie quickly reminded, "Uncle An, your condition doesn't suit drinking strong spirits, only a little red wine occasionally."
An Weize glared at Lin Jie and said, "I know that, of course."
"But while I can't drink, neither can you. You're the type to pass out after a glass of red wine; I'm sure just slling this would make you faint."
He chuckled, "I'll keep this Moutai in my ho wine cabinet to make those drunkards drool with envy, humph!"
Lin Jie uttered an "Oh" and suggested, "Uncle An, in that case, let's split it half and half!"
An Weize rolled his eyes, dissatisfied, "My daughter is going to marry you, and you can't part with a few bottles of liquor?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jie imdiately hugged the box to his chest, grinning broadly, "Uncle An, let see you off!"
