Thursday afternoon, Binhai University Press.
Chairman Qiu, back from a social engagent, poured himself a glass of mineral water and drank it in one gulp.
Then, he sat in his comfortable executive chair, put on his reading glasses, and was about to handle so urgent docunts when the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Chairman Qiu looked displeased, took off his glasses, ready to reprimand the intruder, when a thick stack of docunts was suddenly thrust in front of him.
This was a stack of new book order forms.
He looked up and saw that the visitor was his capable subordinate, the newly appointed Director of Distribution, Chu Jing.
Chairman Qiu took this stack of order forms, glanced through them casually, and blad her, "Xiao Chu, you are an important leader in our press now, how can you still be so flustered and reckless..."
"Huh..."
The shocked Chairman Qiu put on his glasses again, quickly flipping through the order forms in his hand, and asked, "Xiao Chu, there hasn't been any book fairs recently, where did these order data co from?"
"And all the orders are for the sa series, the Lin Jie dical Series. I rember we haven't even decided on the book title yet."
Chu Jing helped herself to a cup of water from the office water dispenser, drank more than half in one go, and said, "Chairman, these are not book order data, they can only be regarded as a purchasing intention."
"I had our sales representatives visit over a hundred large and dium-sized hospitals all over Binhai in a few days, gathering evidence from the survey."
"I think Expert Lin's dical series has great sales potential, so I had them visit each hospital to conduct an actual survey, soliciting the book purchase intentions of each dical professional."
Chairman Qiu then noticed that the lower right corner of each order form was marked with words like "Third People's Hospital," "Gynecology and Health Center," "City Children's Hospital," etc.
Looking at the tens, hundreds, or even several hundreds of Arabic nurals on them, Chairman Qiu asked excitedly, "Xiao Chu, are these numbers accurate? What's the total data?"
Chu Jing sat down on the chair opposite the desk, confidently said, "Those sales reps wouldn't dare cheat or dodge, the data here is at least 90% trustworthy."
"The final aggregated number is... 14,521 sets!"
She emphasized excitedly, "Chairman, make no mistake, I said sets, not volus."
"And this is just the hospital survey data. I haven't even surveyed our Binhai's dical College, specialized dical schools, and vocational nursing schools."
Chairman Qiu could not help but take a breath, murmuring, "Even if only 50% is reliable, that's still over 7,000 sets, over 70,000 volus. Adding the students and teachers from each dical College, Binhai alone would have at least tens of thousands of sets."
"And this is just within Binhai, if expanded nationwide..."
The data was so promising that Chairman Qiu could hardly imagine.
He skeptically said, "Isn't this a bit implausible?"
"For the last ten years, the professional books we've published have either been author-funded or author-sold half or a third. Even so, the first print run of two or three thousand copies could still have quite a few left unsold after two or three years."
"Chairman, that's other people's professional books, but Expert Lin's dical series will indeed beco a bestseller."
Chu Jing seriously said, "I personally conducted a survey and interviewed a total of sixty-one dical professionals."
"Among them, fifty-three people believed that if the dical series textbook is revised and compiled based on Expert Lin's lecture notes, and with Expert Lin overseeing the content, it would be systematic and comprehensive."
"Thus, it would be an essential desk reference book."
Chu Jing heavily stated, "They expressed that they would definitely buy it, and unanimously suggested that every dical practitioner should buy a set."
She further pointed out, "Chairman, dical professionals generally have a relatively high inco, and their conversion rate from purchase intention to action is quite high."
"A must-have dical reference book on the desk!! Great, great!!"
Chairman Qiu stood up excitedly and imdiately instructed, "Xiao Chu, call Vice President Gao, Chief Editor Chen, and Chief Editor Wen over, let's have a quick eting."
"Let's discuss concentrating all resources in our press, to make Expert Lin's series our press's flagship book, high-quality book, main book..."
At this mont, Lin Jie was in the ICU ward of the Affiliated Hospital, conducting a physical examination for Ge Qiuzhi.
After reviewing the real-ti monitoring data and the latest examination and laboratory data, Lin Jie used a stethoscope to listen to fetal movents and heartbeats for a while, then slowly said in Ge Qiuzhi's expectant eyes, "You can be transferred to the general ward."
"Thank you, thank you, Expert Lin!"
Ge Qiuzhi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, then put her hand on her belly and softly said, "My baby, rember that Expert Lin is the savior of you and mommy."
Both the mother and child were out of danger, and Lin Jie felt quite accomplished too.
He reminded, "Even after leaving the ICU ward, you still need to be cautious at all tis, since you are a high-risk pregnant woman."
"Also, your and the fetus's follow-up treatnt, examination, and nursing duties will be transferred to Dr. Xue from the obstetrics departnt."
"If there are any problems, you can directly contact him."
Ge Qiuzhi nodded, gratefully said, "I understand, thank you again."
After a pause, she continued, "Expert Lin, staying in this ICU ward unable to move freely for two to three days, I carefully reflected on a lot of things, especially your rooster-head comnt about Yuesi..."
She lightly shook her head, with a bit of self-mockery, said, "Perhaps it was overlooking the obvious. Without your guidance, I might never have noticed it."
"Yuesi is quite famous in our place, to so extent she's like the face of the hospital."
"Just as you said, she indeed receives many privileges and special treatnts at the hospital."
"She has a private car and driver, an office comparable to the dean's, and any tests or examinations for her patients are done imdiately without any need to queue."
Ge Qiuzhi confessed a bit ashadly, "More than once, colleagues from the pathology departnt, laboratory departnt, ultrasound departnt, and other sections have worked overti until late at night just for her."
"This ti, the incident between her and being exposed led to a lot of criticism from many in the hospital. To so extent, it's also an outburst of dissatisfaction that's been simring in many colleagues' hearts."
Lin Jie quietly watched her, sowhat unclear about the aning behind her words.
Was she trying to plead for Yan Yuesi and have him agree to let her join Anlin Hospital?
Ge Qiuzhi continued, "I had an in-depth conversation with Yuesi. Under my persuasion, she decided not to resign from the hospital for the ti being but accepted an invitation from Hong Kong Island Kowloon Hospital to be a visiting expert there for at least six months."
Lin Jie nodded, agreeing, "That's a good idea, to temporarily stay away from the storm at the workplace and also verify my evaluation at another hospital to see if it's accurate..."
Leaving the ICU ward, Lin Jie happened to visit Cui Shanshan's ward and unexpectedly found Yu Momo there as well.
Cui Shanshan's last design of a new look for Yu Momo was reportedly quite effective.
According to Yu Momo herself, a survey by the TV station afterwards indicated that viewers of that holiday special had quite a good impression of her.
Next week, Yu Momo has been invited on another program.
Seeing the sketchpad in Cui Shanshan's hands, Lin Jie guessed that Yu Momo's visit this ti was likely for a new look for the upcoming TV program.
"Brother Lin Jie..."
As they got more familiar, Yu Momo also started calling him brother, following Lin Miao's cue.
She ca over, holding Lin Jie's hand, coquettishly saying, "Brother Lin Jie, Shanshan's transformation is really incredible compared to last ti. I almost didn't recognize her, she's beco so beautiful."
"Brother Lin Jie, why don't you give a little surgery too?"
"In our circle, many people have had surgery, they just desperately deny it."
Lin Jie advised, "You're already very beautiful and have your own unique features, or what you often call distinctiveness. If you go under the knife and lose those features, it wouldn't be good."
"Momo, Expert Lin is right!"
Cui Shanshan agreed, "Momo, in the entertainnt industry, while looks are important, distinctiveness is even more crucial."
"Those who truly beco superstars all have distinct features, be it big lips or thick lips, sothing that leaves a lasting impression on the audience."
"And your feature is your pair of bright and agile eyes, which communicate emotions, as cute as a sprite."
"Really?"
Yu Momo blinked her eyes, looking at Lin Jie.
Lin Jie nodded affirmatively, "Yes, your eyes are indeed very beautiful and expressive, sparkling as if they could talk!"
Yu Momo was so delighted that her big eyes narrowed into slits.
"Okay, you step outside for a bit, I'll do a check-up on Cui Shanshan!"
After Yu Momo left, Lin Jie asked Cui Shanshan to take off her pants.
Cui Shanshan whispered a complaint, "Expert Lin, it's always a bit moist there, making uncomfortable!"
Lin Jie put on rubber gloves, checking while saying, "Isn't this exactly what you hoped for? The moisture indicates that we've achieved our main goal earlier..."
Halfway through, Lin Jie couldn't continue.
Because that part actually showed respect towards him, quite a strong respect at that.
Cui Shanshan's current situation is akin to those people in Thailand, commonly known as ladyboys.
Before the completion of the vaginoplasty, Cui Shanshan's basic structure was still male, with all functional parts intact.
Even though Cui Shanshan psychologically identified as female and took estrogen regularly, once she had thoughts of desire, that part would react.
"Starting next week, a series of tests will be conducted on you, and the final surgery will be perford on Tuesday in two weeks," Lin Jie said flatly, then quickly turned and left the ward.
Just as he stepped out of the ward, he heard an embarrassed and furious scream, "Ah..."
Lin Jie had just returned to his office when he received a call from Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"Ah Jie, co ho now!"
"That elderly lady from the Capital City, Mrs. Ma, is here again, bringing two lawyers with her. They say that the old master of the Xie Family in Capital City revised his will before passing away, and it has sothing to do with you."
